Trustees’ Annual Report for the period

From 1[st] July 2024 to 30[th] June 2025

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 in a range of related ways: through its concerts, all of which are open to the public, and at a wide range of prices, including significantly reduced rate tickets for under 26s; through its ‘Come & Sing’ events which enable members of the public to attend a day workshop on a specific choral work with the choir’s professional director of music; through its Choral Scholarship scheme, which provides financial support and training for aspiring professional singers; 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 has trained hundreds of local school children, and school staff, from disadvantaged areas, giving them a chance to participate in a public performance.

Achievements and Performance

During 2024/2025 the Society promoted four concerts:

16 November 2024 Hear My Prayer: Motets by Bach, Brahms, Mendelssohn, Bruckner and Bristol
others Cathedral
14 December 2024 A Bristol Choral Christmas including works by Stravinsky, Bruckner, Bristol
Crespo, Chilcott and McDowall Beacon
29 March 2025 Scarlatti: Dixit Dominus; Handel: Dixit Dominus Bristol
Cathedral
28 June 2025 Beethoven: Missa Solemnis Bristol
Beacon

Audience sizes were 295 (Motets), 580 (Christmas), 321 (Scarlatti/Handel) and 542 (Beethoven). We continued to provide free tickets to our concerts for refugees and their hosts. Tickets for U26s were available at all concerts at half price.

We were very pleased to include a substantial outreach element in our Christmas programme. A youth choir made up of children from Ashton Gate Primary School and Saltford C of E Primary School joined BCS members in Cecilia McDowall’s Christus Natus Est , and contributed three pieces as individual school choirs and jointly.

We hosted two public ‘Come & Sing’ events:

26 October 2024 Zimbe!

8 February 2025 Bob Chilcott: A Little Jazz Mass

Attendance at the former was below capacity, at 83; the latter was sold out, with 112 attending.

We were able to recruit two choral scholars during the year. The apprentice scheme continued to be available, with 1 student participating during the year.

Following awards to the choir and its music director, Hilary Campbell, made by the Royal Philharmonic Society, the choir was invited in June 2023 to give the première of a new RPS commission to celebrate the 150[th] anniversary of Ralph Vaughan Williams: A Memory of the Ocean , by Grace Evangeline Mason. The project to record this piece for the Delphian CD label, along with other works of 20[th] century English choral music, came to a conclusion on 31 January 2025 with a launch concert at All Saints, Clifton.

The choir also hosted a choral workshop weekend at the Ammerdown Centre, and arranged a tour to Riga, Latvia from 9-13 April 2025. This included performances of works by Gardiner, Mendelssohn, Howells, Vaughan Williams, Brahms, Rheinberger and Schubert at two venues: Sigulda Romas Katolu Baznïca and Svētā Jāņa Evaņģēliski Luteriskā Baznīc.

Financial Review

Summary

The 2024/2025 financial year proved to be a challenging one, as increased concert costs in Bristol Beacon, combined with lower-than-expected ticket sales resulted in a substantial whole-year concert deficit of £23,777. This was partially offset by a grant of £1,000 towards the summer concert awarded by the Paragon Trust.

To prepare for these concerts, the choir had 37 rehearsals funded by member subscriptions, as were all the basic running costs of the choir. During the year, the choir decided to move its main rehearsal venue to Bristol City Hall. Increased costs associated with the move were covered by additional donations from members, ensuring a small running costs surplus of £1,234.

Our two public ‘Come & Sing’ events generated a healthy surplus of £965, and various smaller fundraising efforts raised another £1,013. The choir was also grateful for the support of 18 patrons, friends and benefactors, which together with associated Gift Aid generated £4,115 for general funds. Bank interest continued to be a significant source of income, as a result of higher interest rates, generating £2,504. There was a small net surplus on the supply of scores and folders to choir members of £359, and a legacy worth £100 was received. Final expenditure on the CD project of £4,298 was offset by sales and launch event tickets worth £2,621. The choral scholarship scheme cost £2,000, and there was a small surplus on the tours accounts of £251.

This generated an overall deficit of £15,822, leaving a balance at year end of £53,169.

Concert income & expenditure

The Hear My Prayer Motets concert was designed to be a low-cost event (£5,975), with small professional forces and in-house ticketing. It was budgeted to be more-or-less neutral, but made a small deficit of -£688 on account of reduced ticket sales and slightly increased costs. Hopes that the Christmas Concert would attract a substantial audience proved misplaced. In terms of outreach, this was a valuable project, but it proved to be an expensive one. Ticket income only amounted to £7,644 against costs of £15,460, generating a deficit of £7,816. Costs were slightly less than budget on account of box office cost savings. The Dixit Dominus concert was always expected to make a loss of £2,855, on account of audience limits in the venue, and in the event the audience was smaller than budgeted, resulting in a deficit of £4,799. Costs (£10,849) were on target. The final concert (Beethoven) was also expected to be expensive, on account of the large orchestral forces involved and the venue hire. Ticket sales were respectable, but fell short of hopes, generating only £11,474. Unexpected increased costs, principally from additional venue charges, resulted in a substantial deficit of £10,446. This was offset by a grant of £1,000.

The overall concert ticket income across the year was £30,523 (2024: £55,103) against total costs of £54,300 (2024: £65,057) producing a total concert deficit of -£22,777 (2023: -£9,957). This clearly shows the impact of two popular concerts last year (Handel: Messiah and Verdi: Requiem), both of which generated audiences of over 1,000.

Subscription income and running costs

Paying membership of the choir continued to grow slightly compared with the previous year from 134 to 139. This led to an increase in total subscription income to £27,841. With associated Gift Aid this generated £33,409, a small negative variance to budget of -£1,078. Basic running costs came in at £36,077, £3,159 more than budgeted. These additional costs during the year, associated with the move of rehearsal venue to City Hall, led to an appeal to members generating an additional £3,903. Overall, the small surplus on running costs of £1,234 was in line with budget.

Other income

Page 3 of 8

Other income came in at £8,978, as budgeted. Donations to general funds (£4,115) were much the same as last year. The two Come & Sing events made surpluses of £213 and £752 respectively; with other smaller fundraising projects raising sums including £136 (Music4Sale), £200 (sale of jam) and £518 (members’ raffle). The purchase and hire of music scores for performances continued to be popular and an attempt is made to pass on this music to members at cost. A small surplus of £359 was generated, replacing last year’s small deficit. Bank interest rates remain high, generating £2,504 on our reserves.

CD Recording Project

The AGM in 2022 approved expenditure of up to £23,000 recording Grace Evangeline Mason’s A Memory of the Ocean , along with associated works of 20[th] century English choral music. The bulk of this expenditure (£20,679) fell into the last financial year, which was offset by specific donations of £2,998, producing a net cost in that year of £17,680. Final editing and launch event costs this year amounted to £4,298, offset by sales of the new CD and launch event tickets of £2,621. The final net cost of the project was thus £19,357, well under budget.

Looking ahead

Whereas the previous year gave grounds for cautious optimism about the financial viability of promoting concerts in Bristol Beacon, this year has underlined the importance of attractive programming. The two Beacon concerts drew audiences of 580 and 542 respectively, which while substantial were not enough to keep deficits to a sustainable level. The overall concert deficit of £23,777 was in line with those of years in which the Beacon was unavailable (and not also affected by the pandemic).

Next year, four concerts will be promoted as usual, as well as two Come & Sing events. However, the two Beaconbased concerts have programmes which should attract bigger audiences (Handel: Messiah; Bach: St. John Passion) and in terms of professional forces are not the most expensive. The two Cathedral-based concerts will have very small professional forces. There will be a choir weekend away at Ammerdown; the Choral Scholar scheme and other programmes to support young singers will be continued and developed as the opportunities arise.

Within the constraints and commitments of the current operating model, this puts BCS in the best possible financial position in the coming year. It is vital for its ongoing viability on the current basis that it should generate a surplus.

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.

2. Policy on reserves

Bristol Choral Society has revised its policy on reserves in 24/25. The previous policy aimed to keep 75% of one year’s costs in reserve (approx. £75k, but rising). This took no account of significant variations in income and expenditure from year to year which are related to specific events such as choir tours. From a financial perspective, these are risk-free. The committee has decided to relate the level of reserves specifically to annual concert costs of around £60,000. The policy is that 75% of typical annual concert costs should be held in reserve. Reserves at this level are currently held in a high-interest savings account.

Choral Scholars Restricted Fund:

This was established in 2016-17 to hold revenues collected specifically to fund Choral Scholars. Where donations have not been received specifically to fund Choral Scholars, the practice has been to fund them out of unrestricted funds. At the end of the 2024/5 season the restricted fund stood at £885 as it had the previous year.

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. £601 was spent in the current year to support the youth choir involvement in the Christmas concert.

Page 6 of 8

Choir Tours Restricted Fund:

There has been substantial movement on this fund, as a result of Ammerdown choral weekend workshops and the choir tour to Riga. The policy remains to run this fund on a ring-fenced basis with projects budgeted to generate very small surpluses which can be put to reducing the costs of future tours.

Designated Special Concert Reserve Fund:

This fund was to support concerts on the return to Bristol Beacon. It was not needed in 23/24 on account of the success of concerts that year. However, it has been allocated to the two Beacon concerts this year to support the deficits they produced (-£17,261.82).

Designated piano replacement fund:

At the start of the year, this fund was as in 2020/2021 and contained 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. This year, that piano was acquired by Mickelburghs of Bristol for £1,500 requiring a -£1,000 revaluation. A new electronic keyboard, amplifier and associated kit was acquired costing £1,086.97. The piano replacement fund has been used to contribute to these costs.

Section C Notes to the accounts (cont)
Recognition of income
These are included in the Statement of Financial Activities (SoFA) when:
 the charity becomes entitled to the resources;
 it is more likely than not that the trustees will receive the resources;
 the monetary value can be measured with sufficient reliability.
Grants and donations are only included in the SoFA when the general income recognition
criteria are met (5.10 to 5.12 FRS102 SORP).
Gift Aid receivable is included in income when there is a valid declaration from the donor.
Any Gift Aid amount recovered on a donation is considered to be part of that gift and is
treated as an addition to the same fund as the initial donation unless the donor or the
terms of the appeal have specified otherwise.
There has been no offsetting of assets and liabilities, or income and expenses, unless
required or permitted by the FRS 102 SORP or FRS 102.
Donated services and facilities are included in the SOFA when received at the value of
the gift to the charity provided the value of the gift can be measured reliably.
Offsetting
Grants and donations
Note 2 Accounting policies
This is only included in the SoFA once the charity has provided the related goods or
services or met the performance related conditions.
The cost of any stock of goods donated for distribution to beneficiaries is deemed to be
the fair value of those gifts at the time of their receipt and they are recognised on receipt.
In the reporting period in which the stocks are distributed, they are recognised as an
expense at the carrying amount of the stocks at distribution.
Donated goods for resale are measured at fair value on initial recognition, which is the
expected proceeds from sale less the expected costs of sale, and recognised in 'Income
from other trading activities' with the corresponding stock recognised in the balance
sheet. On its sale the value of stock is charged against 'Income from other trading
activities' and the proceeds from sale are also recognised as 'Income from other trading
activities'.
Goods donated for on-going use by the charity are recognised as tangible fixed assets
and included in the SoFA as incoming resources when receivable.
Donated goods are measured at fair value (the amount for which the asset could be
exchanged) unless impractical to do so.
Government grants
The charity has received government grants in the reporting period
Legacies
Tax reclaims on donations
and gifts
Legacies are included in the SOFA when receipt is probable, that is, when there has
been grant of probate, the executors have established that there are sufficient assets in
the estate and any conditions attached to the legacy are either within the control of the
charity or have been met.
The charity has incurred expenditure on support costs.
Donated services and facilities that are consumed immediately are recognised as income
with an equivalent amount recognised as an expense under the appropriate heading in
the SOFA.
Gifts in kind for use by the charity are included in the SoFA as income from donations
when receivable.
Support costs
2.2 INCOME
Donated goods
In the case of performance related grants, income must only be recognised to the extent
that the charity has provided the specified goods or services as entitlement to the grant
only occurs when the performance related conditions are met (5.16 FRS 102 SORP).
Volunteer help
The value of any voluntary help received is not included in the accounts but is described
in the trustees’ annual report.

end. The same treatment is applied to unlisted investments unless fair value cannot be measured reliably in which case it is measured at cost less impairment.

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

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.

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.

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