## **DRAFT Trustees’ Annual Report for the period** 

**From  1[st] July 2020   To  30[th] June 2021** 

**Charity name: Bristol Choral Society** 

## **Charity registration number: 1157699** 

## **Objectives and Activities** 

The objects of Bristol Choral Society are “to educate its members and the public in the Arts and Sciences, and in particular the Art and Science of Choral Music, and to contribute to the cultural life of the community, by the presentation of choral concerts and other activities”. 

Bristol Choral Society provides public benefit: through its concerts, all of which are open to the public, and at a wide range of prices; through its apprenticeship scheme which offers teenagers experience of and training in choral singing, without charge or audition; and through its Schools’ outreach programme which trained hundreds of local school children, and school staff, from disadvantaged areas, and gave them a chance to give a public performance. 

## **Achievements and Performance** 

During 2020/2021 the Society promoted two online events including a composition competition, five online ‘Stay and Sing’ Events, and 1 virtual performance:

We also gave choral scholarships to two young aspiring professional singers during the year. 

## **Financial Review** 

## **Summary** 

2020/2021 was another unusual year for the choir, as while during planning for the season we hoped for a return to in person activities, with the continuing restrictions imposed due to the Covid-19 pandemic, most of our activities have been held online, with the exception of a small number of in person rehearsals held in the autumn of 2020 when restrictions permitted. 

The members agreed to a budgeted spend for events of £24,000, as at the time of budgeting we were unable to predict what we would be able to do, where or when, in line with our current strategy to reduce our reserves. 

Page **1** of **8** 



However, in total the society has seen an overall increase in funds of £2,560 as given the restrictions on the activities of amateur choirs imposed by the government, our income, including the continuing generosity of our patrons and friends who donated £2,805 in the year, exceeded our costs. 

## **Concert income & expenditure** 

Total ticket sales income was £6,923 for the two online events we held.  Costs for these events totalled £10,225.  We incurred costs totalling £2,715 due to events being planned and then either cancelled or postponed due to the ongoing restrictions. 

We are proud that we continued to run our composition competition:  this was achieved for an overall cost of £1,531 and resulted in the virtual performance of 5 newly composed carols, with prize money being awarded to two composers, and the winning piece due to be published in late 2021. 

Our stay and sing events ran at a loss of £909 this year; the committee took the decision to keep the cost of attendance low (the minimum ticket price for these events was £1) in an effort to provide inclusive musical activities during the lockdowns. 

## **Subscription income and running costs** 

Membership dropped due to the pandemic, with a consequent reduction in subscription income.  We had 116 paying members, and subs received were £21,263. However, running costs were £6,762 less than expected; the largest savings were on rehearsal venue with rehearsals being held largely online (£8,232), and on audition costs as auditions were not possible (£1,261). Additional costs include the building of a new website (£800), and the attendance of the musical director at most committee meetings due to the ever-changing planning requirements (£725). 

## **Other income** 

Overall, other income was lower than expected. 

- Gift Aid was less than budgeted due to lower subscriptions. 

- Due to the need to provide pdf copies of scores, and to offer a wide variety of music to keep the members engaged during the lockdown, the society subsidised the licensing of musical scores at a cost of £1500. 

- As previously mentioned the decision was taken to run the Stay and Sings as an overall cost rather than as a fundraiser this year in order to offer accessible choral activities within our community. 

- CD sales were £1300 against a budget of £2000; this feels like a good result though in a year when we could not make any in person sales of CDs. 

## **Looking ahead** 

The committee is optimistic that we will be able to return to activities almost as normal in 2021/22 and has therefore planned an ambitious programme of events which include filming a short performance which will include a recently rediscovered work by Elizabeth Poston, and four orchestral concerts in Bristol Cathedral.  Financially we are expecting our plans could involve losses, due to: 

- Potentially lower tickets sales based on lower attendance during the winter due to Covid concerns. 

- Potentially lower revenues from membership subscriptions due to attrition experienced during the pandemic and being cautious about trying to increase membership too quickly while still remaining cautious about rehearsing in person.

The society currently holds excess reserves that it has found difficult to reduce over the last two years, and therefore hopes to use a portion of these reserves in the next season to carry out the plans outlined above, to contribute to the revival of live choral music within Bristol and to re-build the choir after the hiatus caused by the pandemic.

## **Notes** 

## **1. Accounting policies** 

These accounts have been prepared in accordance with the provisions applicable to small companies subject to the small companies regime and in accordance with FRS102 SORP. 

Income and expenditure are accounted for in the period to which they relate, except for donations and income from Friends and Patrons, which are recognised in the period of receipt. 

Fixed assets are capitalised and are written off over their estimated useful lives. For the piano this is set at five years. 

2. **Policy on reserves** 

   - Bristol Choral Society aims to keep 75% of one year’s costs in reserve. Over the years the committee has retained additional reserves to cover the potential reduction in revenue during the prolonged closure of our main performance venue, Bristol Beacon, for refurbishment. 

**3. Trustees' (Committee members') expenses and remuneration** 

   - No committee member received any remuneration directly from the Society.  Trustees are reimbursed for payments they make on the Society's behalf and also for expenses that they incur when acting on the Society’s behalf. 

## **4. Movement of funds**

## **Designated piano replacement fund:** 

This fund is as in 2019/20 and contains the balance after the disposal of one piano (-£1,079) and the gain of a new piano which was donated and valued at £2,500. 

## **Outreach Restricted Fund:** 

This represents money from grants, donations and net income from Outreach concerts that is set aside specifically for Outreach work with children.  A small amount of the spend was for scores for apprentices, with the bulk being for the Ahoy! project as discussed above. 

## **Choral Scholars Restricted Fund:** 

This was established in 2016-17 to hold revenues collected specifically to fund Choral Scholars.  As at the end of the 202/2021 season the fund stands at £3,103. This will allow us to support 3 scholars for a year, but fundraising will be required to ensure the ability to support 4 scholars in the next season.

Investments held for resale or pending their sale and cash and cash equivalents with a maturity date of less than 1 year are treated as current asset investments 

**Stocks and work in** Stocks held for sale as part of non-charitable trade are measured at the lower or cost or net realisable value. 

## **progress** 

Goods or services provided as part of a charitable activity are measured at net realisable value based on the service potential provided by items of stock. 

Work in progress is valued at cost less any foreseeable loss that is likely to occur on the contract. 

Debtors (including trade debtors and loans receivable) are measured on initial recognition at settlement amount after any trade discounts or amount advanced by the charity.  Subsequently, they are measured at the cash or other consideration expected to be received. 

## **Debtors** 

The charity has investments which it holds for resale or pending their sale and cash and cash equivalents with a maturity date less than one year.  These include cash on deposit and cash equivalents with a maturity of loss than one year held for investment purposes rather than to meet short-term cash commitments as they fall due. 

## **Current asset investments** 

They are valued at fair value except where they qualify as basic financial instruments.
