31 August 2025	Charity no (if any)	1158708

1 of 36 (remember to include the page numbers of additional sheets)

I report to the trustees on my examination of the accounts of the above charitable incorporated organisation (“the CIO”) for the year ended 31 August 2025 .

Responsibilities and basis of report As the charity's trustees, you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 (“the Act”).

I report in respect of my examination of the CIO’s accounts carried out under section 145 of the 2011 Act and in carrying out my examination, I have followed all the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act.

Independent I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have examiner's statement come to my attention in connection with the examination which gives me cause to believe that in, any material respect:

the accounting records were not kept in accordance with section 130 of the Charities Act; or
the accounts did not accord with the accounting records; or
the accounts did not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 other than any requirement that the accounts give a ‘true and fair’ view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination.

I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

Note 2 Accounting policies 2.2 INCOME

This standard list of accounting policies has been applied by the charity except for those ticked "No" or "N/a". Where a different or additional policy has been adopted then this is detailed in the box below.

Recognition of income Income from membership subscriptions Membership subscriptions received in the nature of a gift are recognised in Donations and Legacies. Membership subscriptions which gives a member the right to buy services or other benefits are recognised as income earned from the provision of goods and services as income from charitable activities. Settlement of insurance claims Insurance claims are only included in the SoFA when the general income recognition criteria are met (5.10 to 5.12 FRS102 SORP) and are included as an item of other income in the SoFA. Investment gains and This includes any realised or unrealised gains or losses on the sale of investments Support costs The charity has incurred expenditure on support costs. Volunteer help The value of any voluntary help received is not included in the accounts but is described in the trustees’ annual report. Income from interest, royalties and dividends This is included in the accounts when receipt is probable and the amount receivable can be measured reliably. Gifts in kind for use by the charity are included in the SoFA as income from donations when receivable. Donated services and facilities 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. 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. 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 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. Tax reclaims on donations and gifts 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. Contractual income and performance related grants This is only included in the SoFA once the charity has provided the related goods or services or met the performance related conditions. Donated goods Donated goods are measured at fair value (the amount for which the asset could be exchanged) unless impractical to do so. 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). Legacies 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. Government grants The charity has received government grants in the reporting period · it is more likely than not that the trustees will receive the resources; and • the monetary value can be measured with sufficient reliability. Offsetting 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. Grants and donations Grants and donations are only included in the SoFA when the general income recognition criteria are met (5.10 to 5.12 FRS102 SORP).

2.4 ASSETS Intangible fixed assets Heritage assets They are valued at fair value except where they qualify as basic financial instruments. Debtors 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. Current asset investments The charity has 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 date of less than one year held for investment purposes rather than to meet short term cash commitments as they fall due. 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 progress 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. The charity has intangible fixed assets, that is, non-monetary assets that do not have physical substance but are identifiable and are controlled by the charity through custody or legal rights. The amortisation rates and methods used are disclosed in note 9.5 They are valued at cost. The charity has heritage assets, that is, non-monetary assets with historic, artistic, scientific, technological, geophysical or environmental qualities that are held and maintained principally for their contribution to knowledge and culture. The depreciation rates and methods used as disclosed in note 9.6.1.4. They are valued at cost. Investments Fixed asset investments in quoted shares, traded bonds and similar investments are valued at initially at cost and subsequently at fair value (their market value) at the year 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 Basic financial instruments The charity accounts for basic financial instruments on initial recognition as per paragraph 10.7 FRS102 SORP. Subsequent measurement is as per paragraphs 11.17 to 11.19, FRS102 SORP. Tangible fixed assets for use by charity These are capitalised if they can be used for more than one year, and cost at least They are valued at cost. The depreciation rates and methods used are disclosed in note 14. Deferred income No material item of deferred income has been included in the accounts. Creditors The charity has creditors which are measured at settlement amounts less any trade discounts Provisions for liabilities A liability is measured on recognition at its historical cost and then subsequently measured at the best estimate of the amount required to settle the obligation at the reporting date Grants with performance conditions Where the charity gives a grant with conditions for its payment being a specific level of service or output to be provided, such grants are only recognised in the SoFA once the recipient of the grant has provided the specified service or output. Grants payable without performance conditions Where there are no conditions attaching to the grant that enables the donor charity to realistically avoid the commitment, a liability for the full funding obligation must be recognised. Redundancy cost The charity made no redundancy payments during the reporting period. 2.3 EXPENDITURE AND LIABILITIES Liability recognition Liabilities are recognised where it is more likely than not that there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to pay out resources and the amount of the obligation can be measured with reasonable certainty. Governance and support costs Support costs have been allocated between governance costs and other support. Governance costs comprise all costs involving public accountability of the charity and its compliance with regulation and good practice. Support costs include central functions and have been allocated to activity cost categories on a basis consistent with the use of resources, eg allocating property costs by floor areas, or per capita, staff costs by the time spent and other costs by their usage. Investment gains and losses and any gain or loss resulting from revaluing investments to market value at the end of the year.				ü

Ensemble Reza runs three programmes which help to advance, promote and maintain public education in and appreciation of music. These include:

Specialist workshops and performance opportunities have been designed for students performing and composing at a higher level, including ‘A’ level students and those at a Grade 7+ level.

Community : The Ensemble Reza Community Orchestra and our Crawley Music Collective are designed for players of all ages and abilities. These groups give members the opportunity to rehearse and perform alongside our professional musicians.

Ensemble Reza Trustees Annual Report 2024-2025 Charity no 1158708

Achievements and Performance: SORP reference Para 1.20

Over the past decade Ensemble Reza has built strong connection with the local community in Mid Sussex and, more recently, over the last six years, in Crawley. We have seen firsthand how music can bring people together and it remains central to our ethos that everyone, regardless of where they live, who they are, age, background, ethnicity and ability, should have equal access to live music and the opportunity to participate if they wish.

This has been another busy and rewarding year for Ensemble Reza. We experienced increased audiences at our events with many concerts selling out; high demand for school workshops; new partnerships forming; and growing numbers in our Community Orchestra. We have also seen a rise in donations and welcomed new volunteers eager to support our work.

Our free community concerts helped us reach over 2900 people across Mid Sussex and Crawley. We delivered thirty-nine free concerts in Haywards Heath and Crawley, including our 11 regular lunchtime concerts in Haywards Heath and performances to a wide range of Crawley venues, such as Crawley Open House, St Catherine’s Hospice and Broadfield Community Centre. Our wider community programmes included our monthly Zoom Music Club and our participatory music making groups, including our Community Orchestra and Music Collective. Both are open to musicians of all ages and abilities, with our Music Collective designed especially for non-note readers who wish to improvise and play alongside our musicians.

Our education programmes provide support and inspiration for students and teachers at every stage of their musical journey, from reception to sixth form, in both mainstream and special educational needs schools. This year we worked with over 3200 students and 300 teachers and across 27 schools.

Reflecting on the past year, it is exhilarating to see our programme continue to grow and have such a meaningful impact, particularly on wellbeing. Being rooted in our local community is central to our mission, and our team values the lasting relationships we build with our audiences. This remains at the heart of everything we do.

‘The work Ensemble Reza does impacts the lives of so many, irrespective of age or background. Their ability to engage, inspire, create and entertain is second to none. In a world of increasingly inaccessible music/arts education, particularly for children, their work is essential in creating safe spaces and opportunities to explore music, while positively impacting the mental health and wellbeing of many generations.’ James, Member of our community orchestra and founder of Wings Theatre Company.

Hannah Carter, Managing Director May 2026.

Education Report September 2024-August 2025

In total, over the year we worked with more than 3,200 students and 300 teachers from 27 schools. This report details some of our main workshops:

New Sound World concerts: Reaching 2773 students, 157 teachers from 15 schools

‘Today was the best day ever!’ (Milton Mount student) ‘I want to learn to play an instrument.’ (St Giles student)

Demand for our New Sound World concerts was remarkable this year, with all the performances fully booked within days of going on-line. This year’s story, Monkey Business , was composed and narrated by Reza musician Anna Cooper. These fun, interactive concerts were enthusiastically received, and it was a real joy to see the expressions on the students’ faces as they experienced live music making. For 38% of the students (whose teacher’s took part in our survey), this was their first time experiencing live professional music.

‘The children and staff were buzzing for the rest of the week from your amazing concert so thank you for everything!’ (Milton Mount)

‘A wonderful example of multi-sensory storytelling, an engaging and highquality arts experience for our students, but also an inspiring piece of CPD for our teachers.’ (Woodlands Meed)

Orchestra training day: Reaching 137 students, 10 teachers, 4 schools

‘It really is quite special as educators to work with such accomplished musicians, who inspire with excellence and give our students a high bar to aim for.’ Carol MacTaggart, Head of Music, Oathall Commuity College

With some schools struggling to recruit players for their school orchestras, the Mid Sussex Federation of Schools brings together four local secondary schools (Imberhorne School, Downlands Community School, Oathall Community College, and Sackville School) to create a joint orchestra, which has been a great success. It was wonderful to be involved in this initiative, helping to coach younger players across the orchestra including wind, percussion and strings.

Sixth Form Workshops: Reaching 22 students, 2 teachers from Brighton and Hove Sixth Form College

‘The students are all very excited about working with you… Your Greek piece caused quite a stir!’ Ben Albu, Hd of Music, BHASVIC

We’ve been working with students at Brighton and Hove Sixth Form College for over five years. Working alongside our Reza musicians, students have the opportunity to hear and test their composition ideas and benefit from live playback and feedback from our players. This is critical when building a composition portfolio and continues to support BHASVIC in developing their A-level programme, which in 2024–25 had 22 students.

BHASVIC Student feedback: ‘So Happy! I loved the feedback it made me feel more confident’ Geila

Special Education Needs Schools Projects: Ingfield Manor School, Chailey Heritage & Woodlands Mead Schools - reaching 140 students, 85 teachers/TA’s and Hove Sixth

‘I got goosebumps watching my child perform and happy tears. It's so lovely seeing him put his energy into it and learning a new skill.’ parent

‘ Removing the barriers Tom's disability puts in the way of his creativity and desire to express himself is incredible .’ parent

We have been working with special education needs schools across Sussex for over seven years. Many of the students have complex needs, including neurological motor impairment such as cerebral palsy, alongside and associated sensory and medical needs.

It is always a privilege to work alongside these young people, helping them foster a love of music and discover their inner creativity. The power of music can be transformational in any school, but in these specialist settings the impact is truly profound.

Over eight days of workshops, we saw students grow in confidence and ability through their music making. There was laughter, joy, focus; whether in a 30 minute ad-hoc music making workshop or as part of a larger group piece, the creative process for students, teachers and our musicians together, creating a very special atmosphere. Socially, the project enabled students to mix with peers from different classes and with different abilities, breaking down barriers and fostering friendships.

‘ My son is non-verbal - but whenever we mention the Reza workshop and what he's been doing, his face lights up and you can see the excitement and joy he gets from it.

Parents spoke of their children’s new-found confidence: ‘It’s given him a voice and helped him to be heard’ and ‘It brought her out of her shell - confidence soared.’ Michelle, Music Teacher at Chailey Heritage School commented ‘Moods were lifted and students returned to the classroom happy and more alert, ready for learning’

Ensemble Reza Trustees Annual Report 2024-2025 Charity no 1158708

Workshops at Independent Schools – reaching 210 students and 16 teachers

During this period, we also ran three workshops for students at Ardingly College and Christ’s Hospital School. These sessions concentrated on performance techniques and ensemble playing, learning how to communicate in a group without words. Students the opportunity to rehearse and perform alongside our Ensemble Reza musicians, with projects culminating in end of workshop concerts to parents and students.

‘ They learnt a huge amount of ensemble skills from some real experts in the field. It was an absolute masterclass to have people working full time professionally with a variety of instruments working with our students’. Tim, Head of Music at Ardingly College

These workshops were fully funded by participating schools.

Community Report September 2024 – August 2025

Free lunchtime concerts

Over the course of the year we ran 22 free lunchtime concerts and 19 free afternoon concerts. These concerts were accessible, and as we saw in our feedback welcoming, joyful and inspiring. Our audiences frequently commented on the exceptional high standard of musicianship and the privilege to have this on their doorstep.

‘Always enjoy Reza concerts. So much warmth and enthusiasm and we wouldn’t have the opportunity to hear this music without Ensemble Reza in Crawley!’ Audience

We offered varied programmes including classical, folk and jazz and celebrated music from around the world. Our audiences enjoyed this variety of repertoire and the opportunity to learn more about music, especially enjoying lesser-known composers and world premières with composers in attendance (including David Matthews and Barry Mills).

Venues included Haywards Heath Methodist Church, Christ the Lord Church in Broadfield, Crawley Open House, St Catherine’s Hospice, St John’s Church Crawley, Crawley Museum, The Walled Garden at Tilgate Park, Ifield Barn Theatre and the Bandstand in the Memorial Gardens in Crawley.

Our free concerts were enjoyed by local nursery/school groups, home schoolers, the retired, carers, people with a disability, adults and young people with additional needs, those out of work, office workers, parents with toddlers, and babes in arms. Families really valued these accessible concerts, noting that this was a unique opportunity to experience live music making in an inclusive space.

‘Standard of music, friendliness and sense of community is just fantastic. Bravo!’

‘This is such a treat and so lovely to see a mix of people getting together to enjoy music. You have a real feeling of community here. Thank you’ Audience

Ensemble Reza Trustees Annual Report 2024-2025 Charity no 1158708

Through these concerts we saw new partnerships with Diverse Crawley, Crawley Wordfest, Tilgate Park, Crawley Writer’s Circle and Crawley Museum evolve, which have led to new projects in 2025/6.

It is such a privilege to manage these concerts and see the impact live music can have. They bring people together, reduce feelings of isolation, and create a sense of community and shared experience everyone can enjoy.

‘I have so appreciated being able to bring my 4 children aged 2-10 years to a monthly concert. Because of Ensemble Reza my children have been able to experience live, beautiful music in a space they feel welcome. They can look around at the audience and see music is for everyone. When we listen to the radio at home / in the car, they seem to be much more engaged with classical and jazz than before we started coming, recognising instruments and rhythms more enthusiastically. What a gift in our own neighbourhood!’ Ben and Hannah (home educators) from Broadfield

Ensemble Reza Community Orchestra

Partnerships are central to our work. In December 2024, we partnered with local primary school choir leader, Sarah Rolph and more than 100 young voices for two sell-out Disney Themed concerts. In Summer 2025, we partnered with Voices of Waterfield Primary School in Crawley for a series of concerts, including a flash-mob performance at the Broadfield Arts Festival and our Community Orchestra summer concert.

Our Community Orchestra and Music Collective continue to welcome musicians of all ages and abilities. There is always a buzz at rehearsals and people value the welcoming and non-judgemental atmosphere as a place to build confidence, develop musicianship, make friends and support their mental health.

Our Community Orchestra, is life-changing for many participants, offering joy, confidence, and belonging. Members describe it as a supportive, non-judgemental space where all ages and abilities – from beginners to advanced musicians – are welcomed. For some, it has eased loneliness, supported mental health, and created new friendships; for others, it has rekindled a love of music after decades away from their instruments.

‘The community orchestra has been so welcoming and accessible even for my limited ability. I don’t think there is another local group that would give me the privilege of playing with some amazing professional players alongside other enthusiastic amateurs like me.’

Families play together across generations, while individuals value the chance to learn new skills, grow in confidence, and escape daily stresses. Participants frequently highlight the inspiration, patience, and encouragement of Reza’s professional musicians, and the unique privilege of performing alongside them. Above all, the orchestra provides connection, purpose, and the uplifting experience of making music together.

‘Being a member of the Community Orchestra for the past almost four years has created friendships, developed my musical skills, given me a valuable means of stress relief, a sense of achievement and real joy. It's hard to overstate the positive effect it has had on my life, especially given that we only meet ten or so times a year.’ Lisa

Ensemble Reza Trustees Annual Report 2024-2025 Charity no 1158708

‘I love coming to play with the orchestra. I hadn't picked up my clarinet for 20 years and have fallen back in love with playing, I’m a working mum so life is busy but I simply love my 2 hours once a month rehearsing with the orchestra … There's nothing quite like making music with others. We are so incredibly lucky to have Ensemble Reza in the heart of our community’

‘It’s a chance for the family to get out and make music, and with an amazingly friendly group of people.’ Stephen

‘Me and my teen have been playing together in the orchestra for 8 years, from beginners to both post grade 8 now. We’ve been able to go from learning from others to helping them. It’s so nice to be able to play together.’

Crawley Music Collective

‘CMC has given me space to fulfil my creative needs in a world where I have 3 jobs and not a lot of free time! I feel like I am investing in my wellbeing and that is priceless!’ Fatima

Now in the second year, our music collective has become an established group appealing to diverse cultures and ages across Crawley. These improvisation sessions encouraged musicians of all ages and abilities to come together and we saw some amazing examples of creativity - some members trying instruments for the first time including accordion, cello and percussion and with the excellent guidance from our professional team were still fully included. These improvisation-based sessions were led by Paul Griffiths, supported by our team of Reza musicians (including percussion, wind, and strings) and included Turkish and Greek instruments performed alongside electric guitars, strings, wind, percussion, and keyboard.

‘It's also great that I can go with my dad and we are part of a band together and when we finish every session, the songs are stuck in our heads and we sing it in the car on the way home. This makes me feel warm and enhanced.’ Augustus

‘The environment is so positive and inspiring, with every member being welcoming, encouraging, and passionate. Mrunali genuinely looks forward to every session, and the enthusiasm she brings back is a reflection of the supportive and enriching atmosphere you’ve all created.’

Ensemble Reza Trustees Annual Report 2024-2025 Charity no 1158708

Together the group created 4 pieces, including accompaniments to 2 songs which had been written by members – one including a song about a school bullying experience. These pieces were performed at our informal concert to an enthusiastic audience. This was a jubilant afternoon and culminated with a very memorable music and dance jamming session, which everyone enjoyed together – regardless of age!

‘When I joined the Reza Music Collective, I realised that this is exactly what I need: a lowpressure environment where I can jam and meet other musicians and the cost is super affordable. I feel connected to my musician self again.’ Eloise

Music Club

This group has become important for many of our audience who are struggling to get to our concerts. Over the year we linked topics to concerts which gave our audience an insight into programmes coming up and for those unable to get to our concert a taste of the music and our thinking behind the programming. We invited members to get involved if they wished by sharing their music in the sessions and this often generated a lively discussion.

These discussions from our living rooms were accessible, friendly and welcoming and included Music from Paris to Havana, Greatest Violin Concertos, Music from Land’s End to John O’Groats, Music from our favourite holiday destinations.

‘Sadly, I'm not a musician but with Steve Dummer's knowledge and you at the helm, I found it absolutely fascinating & enjoyed it. Many thanks.’

Impact in Numbers:

‘The Ensemble Reza musicians, managers and trustees are a great team to work with. The musicians are quite unique. They are charismatic, relaxed, accommodating, professional, down to earth and engage with the audience brilliantly! They bring everyone onboard with the range of classical, in a fun and liberating way.’ Sam Murray, Crawley

Ensemble Reza Ticketed Concerts September 2024 – August 2025

During this period, we gave 19 ticketed performances, including our concert series at The Hawth Theatre, reaching a total of over 2500 people. We noticed over the year that our ticket sales have continued to increase with some concerts selling out completely.

Partnerships continue to shape our concert programmes and during this period we ran two concerts with Rok Skool in a classical / rock combination to packed audiences. This was a great success and helped us to reach new audiences.

‘I always leave a concert feeling a sense of sheer gratitude for what I have been privileged to experience from this wonderful ensemble - the magic it delivers always rubs off on me!’ Adrian

‘I am so happy that we discovered Reza after one of their concert at Hawth Theatre. We attended a few of the lunch time concerts and they were delightful. The quality of the playing is always excellent and it’s very interesting to learn about new music and instruments. I think everyone should attend at least one Reza concert if they can!’

New ventures included a Candelit Concert in East Grinstead, again widening our reach to new audiences and an opportunity to repeat much loved programmes. We also explored different styles of presentation with a cabaret style seated concert, which was a great hit with our audience.

‘Reza concerts have been a great support to me during a period of illness and bereavement in my family and will continue to be an important part of my life.’ David ‘Reza are such a happy group which seems to leave the audience relaxed and part of their family.’ Sally

‘There is something special about Ensemble Reza. The heart, passion and joy of the musicians is infectious. It is wonderful to be so close to the musicians as they play. They are so uplifting.’

We are fortunate to have two talented composers and arrangers, Anna Cooper and Pavlos Carvalho, within our ensemble. Their work regularly enriches our concerts, with arrangements and compositions tailored to include our wide scope of instruments from violin to bouzouki and varied genres of music. These concerts are hugely popular with not only with our diverse audiences, but also the wider freelance community of musicians who we frequently engage.

Ensemble Reza Trustees Annual Report 2024-2025 Charity no 1158708

Our annual Family Concert featured Music from Around the World and seemed very popular with parents and children from babes in arms to teenagers. We now have a plan to increase these concerts in the future to at least two a year.

‘ER concerts are a regular highlight and family favourite. They educate and grow us all, and are great lessons for our son not only on music, but also in the role models that all the players are for him. Immensely grateful for you all and in awe of your talent and amazing quality as people. Thank you’

‘There is such energy and joy in Ensemble Reza's concerts. They are guaranteed to lift the spirits even on your worst day! The music is always wonderful, often new to me, and always interesting.’

Over the year our programmes have included classical masterpieces including Mendelssohn’s Violin Concerto Dvořák’s Serenade for Strings , Brahms string Sextet, Haydn Cello Concerto in C, Korngold Sextet. A highlight in the year was a concert dedicated to music by female composers, and since then the group has been committed to including a piece by a female artist in most programmes.

Review of the charity’s financial position at the end of the period SORP reference:Para 1.21	Note that Ensemble Reza moved their financial year during this period to fall within the academic term. Ensemble Reza’s financial position at the end of 2024: Note when comparing these figures, the previous financial year ran from April 2023-August 2024, because we changed our accounting year to align with the academic year.

Amount of reserves held SORP reference: Para 1.22	£20,129 Restricted (2024: £6,381) £14,158 Unrestricted (2024: £27,214)
Explanation of any uncertainties about the charity continuing as a going concern. SORP reference: Para 1.23	In this period 2024-25 the Charity was successful in obtaining funding for its core activities. Trustees are satisfied that the Charity has been able to adapt to the current environment and continue to deliver its mission through its concert and other education and community programmes. The amount in the bank on signing these accounts is*£56,929,13* Conservative cash flow modelling indicates that the cash reserves of the Charity are adequate to meet its obligations as they fall due, providing additional funding is secured in the next 6 months. If funding is not successful, then some activities may have to be reduced until sufficient funding is sought. Accordingly, the Trustees believe Ensemble Reza’s financial resources are sufficient to ensure it will continue as a going concern for the foreseeable future, being at least 12 months from the date of approval of the financial statements and have therefore prepared the financial statements on a going concern basis.
