Stalernent of Recommended Pra¢Li¢e applicable to charities preparing their oCCOUJJts in accordance with the FiDa]]¢ial RepoTtRng Sialhdard applicable in the UK aT)d Republic of Jreland (FRS 102) (effective from l January 2019) and the Charities Act 2011.

ACHIEVEMENT AI¥D PERFORMANCE Although the year did not see much of an Increase in the trust eDdowmeDi. li was nonetheless a very skgnifi¢ant year foi musi¢ at Ripon Cathedral. Projeci Phoenix has continued io deliver cxtraoidinary results and the Cathedral now has a choir comprising 27 boys and over 30 girls plus 8 choral scho12rs. The growth in numbers bas been malched by 8 growth in qua]ity and I can eonfidently report ihat the choii generally is in better shape tha] it has been for some consRderable number ofyears. This h8s be¢n achieved by virtue of some very hard work by all in the music departmenl but the dedication and leadership of RoDnie Ktippner has been key 10 siicce5s. In De£ember the Choir joind foT¢es with the St Ce¢ilia Orchestra in a sptctsculat Christmas concert featuring some extracts from The Chrislrnas Oraiorio (J.S. Bach) as well as some ttaailionai ChTiStmas music. This was the first lime the Choir had perfonned in a concen setting since well before Covid. and they rose io the occasion in a mogDificent display of chotal sit)ging. Early in the new year tbe choir will be recording a Christhjas CD which will be on sale for Christn]as 2024. We are also well advanced in pla7]s for a foreign lour to Bavavia ID the summer. The Music Trust will be supportsng l)oth of thesc initiatives. Trnst funds stood at £ 1.902.444 as at December 2023. Whilst the objective of the Trust is to build a fi]nd of +£5M, there are a Tjumber of consiTaints which PTesenily inhibit a major fi]nd-rdising initiative, most notably the RCR PToject. Hopefully that proi¢ct will SOOD come to fruitiO]J and allow the SpOlEt to fail ot)¢e again Oll music. FINANCIAL REVIEW Our funds remain inv¢*ed with Inv&8tec Wealth lllvestsnent Limited and at 31 December 2023 the invement fijnd in¢sed to £1,700,81812022 £1,649,494).
