Objects, Aims and Principal Activities
Drunken Chorus is committed to enabling as many people as possible to access high quality, engaging, challenging and boundary pushing theatre and performance.
The charity aims to achieve this by:
-
Presenting an inclusive festival of theatre, dance and cabaret ( A Bit Of A Do ) each year in the London Borough of Croydon.
-
Supporting emerging artists to create new work, through financial and in-kind support, such as advice, mentoring and training programmes, with an emphasis on Deaf, Disabled, Neurodivergent and underrepresented artists.
-
Creating original and accessible performance work for audiences throughout the UK and abroad.
-
Supporting, promoting and encouraging access and inclusion across the arts sector.
-
Programming the work of both emerging and established artists in public spaces, such as public houses and outdoor spaces.
-
Designing and implementing creative programmes for marginalized and underrepresented communities, such as Deaf, Disabled and Neurodivergent adults and young people, as well as other marginalized and/or intersectional communities. These may include (but not limited to) regular workshops, one off performance projects or mini festivals.
Principal charitable activities
The principal charitable activity of Drunken Chorus is in seeking to meet the above aims.
Public Benefit
Drunken Chorus carries out a wide range of activities as detailed in pursuance of its charitable aims. In setting the work programme each year the Trustees have regard to the Charity Commission’s guidance on public benefit and ensure activities we undertake are in line with our charitable objectives and aims.
The Trustees are satisfied that the Charity’s activities throughout the year provided public benefit because:
-
the majority of its activities were provided on commission and are free to the public;
-
• activities gave the public, both through participation and as audiences, access to a very high standard of artistic work; and
-
feedback from participants praised the work of the Charity.
Review of Achievements and Performance
Following sustained growth during the previous two years, the charity developed significantly in 2023/24 - with annual turnover almost doubling once again. This success was largely due to securing and delivering Liberty – the Mayor of London’s flagship festival of work by Deaf, Disabled and Neurodivergent artists. This provided a significant boost to income, which in turn allowed the charity to build capacity, expand on existing charitable projects and activity (such as A Bit Of A Do festival and participatory programmes), and to develop new strategic partnerships with funders, networks and relevant organisations, particularly in and around

It has been presented by the Mayor since 2003 in locations across London including Trafalgar Square, Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park and Southbank Centre.

_____________ Structure, Governance and Management
Drunken Chorus is a registered charity.
Governance
Responsible governance of the charity is exercised through the Board of Trustees who are all board members (‘the Board’). The Board is made up of independent lay members who are responsible for the conduct of charity and for ensuring that it satisfies all legal and contractual obligations. The Trustees are volunteers and are not remunerated for their time. The Board is responsible for setting the strategic direction of the charity and is ultimately accountable for how effectively the charity meets the defined aims through direct charitable activity. The Board contracts staff who support the board with strategic planning and operational activities. The Board comprises 6 Trustees who meet at least three times a year. Financial and management reports are provided quarterly to the Board of Trustees.
Trustee Investment powers
Investment powers are governed by the Trust Deed. There are no restrictions on charity’s absolute powers of investment to the extent that any retained funds that arise are dealt with by depositing surpluses into the COIF Charities Deposit Fund or with authorised banks.
Trustee recruitment, induction and training
The Board of Trustees has power to appoint additional Trustees as it considers fit to do so to ensure that all relevant skills and experience are represented. The appointed Trustees fulfil their duties without any term limitations. Each new Trustee is given an induction in the work of the charity and financial procedures. A Trustee shall cease to hold office if he or she (1) is disqualified for acting as a Trustee by virtue of sections 178 and 179 of the Charities Act 2011 or any statutory re-enactment or modification of that provision, (2) is no longer able to fulfil duties due to medical reasons, (3) is absent without the permission of the Trustees from all their meetings held within a period of six months, (4) notifies to the Trustees a wish to resign.
Principal Risks and Uncertainties
The Charity undertakes periodic reviews for different areas of risk including, insurance cover; health and safety policies in the workplace; financial affairs; personnel practices; ICT technology. In relation to these matters, and apart from matters completely outside the Charity’s control, the Trustees consider that the risks to which the Charity is subject have been mitigated to a satisfactory level.
The charity closely manages its finances. A budget is approved before the beginning of the year. All expenditure is monitored against budget.
Reserves policy
The charity has established a reserves policy, set out to cover 6 months operational costs. These reserves are ringfenced to provide stability in the event of: unforeseen costs or emergencies; falls in income / grant funding; the need to spend funds on projects before funding is received; any decision to permanently close down the charity. Reserve amounts are calculated to cover 6 months of running / core costs, including, but not limited to: public and employers liability insurance; email / website hosting costs; membership fees; legal costs; expenses for trustee meetings; staff training; DBS checks. As a small charity, there are no fixed premises, and no salaried staff. Therefore, such costs are not included when calculating
Page 6
Drunken Chorus (Charity Reg. No: 1161841)
Trustees’ Report for the year ended 31st March 2024 (continued)
_____________ reserve amounts. Current reserves are set at £7,000. The reserve policy will be reviewed every 6 months.
Plan for future periods
As a number of our multi-year grants come to an end in early 2024, the charity intends to carry out a review of its creative and company strategies during the initial months of 2024/25. This review period will involve input from management and delivery staff, as well as trustees and, where appropriate, participants and beneficiaries. The outcome of this period of reflection and planning will inform the future direction of the charity. Any new direction or strategy will remain within the scope of the charity’s original core aims and purpose.
Statement as to Disclosure of Information to Independent Examiner
Each of the persons who are Trustees at the time when this report is approved confirms that:
-
(a) So far as each Trustee is aware, there is no relevant audit information of which the company's independent examiner is unaware; and
-
(b) to the best of their knowledge and belief, each Trustee has taken all the steps that ought to have been taken as a Trustee, including making appropriate enquiries of fellow Trustees and of the company's independent examiner for that purpose, in order to make themselves aware of any information needed by the company’s independent examiner
in connection with preparing its report and to establish that the company's independent examiner is aware of that information.
Independent Examiners
The officers of the charity have agreed to re-appoint Additude Ltd as the charity’s Independent Examiner and the proposal of this appointment will be put forward to the board at the forthcoming Annual General Meeting.

_____________
Statement of Trustees’ responsibilities
The Trustees are responsible for preparing the Trustees’ Annual Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
The Trustees are required to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charitable company and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including the income or expenditure, of the charitable company for that period.
In preparing these accounts, the Trustees are required to:
-
select suitable accounting policies and apply them consistently
-
observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP
-
make judgements and accounting estimates that are reasonable and prudent
-
prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the company will continue in business
The Trustees are responsible for keeping proper and adequate accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charitable company and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charitable company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

Independent Examiner’s Report to the Trustees of Drunken Chorus for the year ended 31st March 2024
_____________
We report on the accounts of the company for the year ended 31 March 2024, which are set out on pages 10 to 16.
Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner
The trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 (“the Charities Act”) and that an independent examination is needed. I am qualified to undertake the examination by being a qualified member of CIPFA.
It is my responsibility to:
-
examine the accounts under section 145 of the Charities Act;
-
to follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Charities Act; and
-
to state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
Basis of independent examiner’s report
My examination was carried out in accordance with the general Directions given by the Charity Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from the Trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a ‘true and fair view’ and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below.
Independent examiner’s statement
In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention:
(1) which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in, any material respect, the requirements:
-
to keep accounting records in accordance with section 130 of the Charities Act; and
-
to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the Charities Act
-
have not been met; or
(2) to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

Notes to the Financial Statements for the year ending 31st March 2024
_____________
1. Accounting policies
a. General information
Drunken Chorus is a charity, registered with the Charity Commission (charity registration number 1161841).
b. Going concern
The trustees confirm that at the time of approving the financial statements, there are no material uncertainties regarding the Charity’s ability to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. In arriving at this conclusion, the Trustees have taken account of current and anticipated financial performance in the current economic conditions, its business plan and its reserves position. For this reason, the going concern basis continues to be adopted in the preparation of the Charity’s financial statements.
c. Basis for preparation
The financial statements have been prepared under the historic cost convention unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy notes and in accordance with Accounting and Reporting by Charities; Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS102) (effective 1st January 2015) – (Charities SORP (FRS 102)), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Companies Act 2006.
The principal accounting policies that have been applied to all years presented in these financial statements are set out below.
The preparation of financial statements requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires Trustees to exercise their judgement in the process of applying the accounting policies. Use of available information and application of judgement are inherent in the formation of estimates. Actual outcomes in the future could differ from such estimates. The areas involving a higher degree of judgement or complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the financial statements are disclosed in Note 2.
d. Recognition of outstanding employee benefits
No provision for outstanding holiday pay was made under previous UK GAAP. Under FRS 102 the costs of short-term employee benefits are recognised as a liability and an expense. The cost of any unused holiday entitlement is recognised in the period in which the employees’ services are received.
e. Fixed assets
Individual fixed assets costing £2,000 or more are initially recorded at cost.
