THE PIMLICO MUSICAL FOUNDATION REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2025
Risk Factors
During the period covered by this Report, the Trustees continued to monitor the major risks facing the Charity and they remain satisfied that existing systems and controls are sufficient to mitigate those risks. During the period under review the Charity maintained sound systems of internal financial control, including procedures for the authorisation of all transactions and projects. Such procedures are kept under on-going review in order to ensure that they continue to meet the charity’s needs.
OBJECTS AND ACTIVITIES
Charitable objects and Activities
The objects of the Foundation were amended on 2nd July, 2019 and on 29th June, 2021. They are specifically restricted to the advancement of education and the arts by the provision of musical services to St Gabriel’s Church, Pimlico (the ‘Church’), its parish and the surrounding area, for the benefit of the public, including in particular:
-
i) the advancement and promotion of the arts for the benefit of the public, including through providing funding for choirs and associated staff, the members of the choirs to be drawn in particular from children and young adults living in Pimlico and the surrounding area who are in social need;
-
ii) the advancement of education for the benefit of the public through the provision of grants for music lessons, in the first instance for the benefit of children and young adults living in Pimlico and the surrounding area.
These have been met through work with local schools - the In-Schools Programme, and two out-ofschool programmes: the Children’s Choir and Foundation Choir. There are two adult programmes: the Pimlico Chorus and SingOut! Pimlico.
PUBLIC BENEFIT
The trustees confirm that they have referred to the guidance contained in the Charity Commission’s general guidance on public benefit when reviewing the charity’s aims and objectives and in planning future activities, as is amply demonstrated below.
ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE
The Trustees continued to develop the Foundation's activities, and 2024–25 was another record year for PMF in participation, reach, and visibility. PMF has grown in reach, confidence, and creativity across 2024–25, delivering more music to more people than ever before. Our programmes—spanning weekly children’s choirs, in-school workshops, adult choirs, and high-profile performances—have brought together over 700 local children and 70 adult singers in a shared culture of musical excellence and joy.
We’ve deepened our work in schools, delivering 146 in-school sessions across 11 state schools, and pioneering large-scale projects in both primary and secondary settings. Meanwhile, our Children’s Choir and Foundation Scholars have continued to flourish—supported by one-to-one music lessons, inspiring performance opportunities, and transformative pastoral care. This was the first year with a dedicated Programme Lead for the Children’s Choir. Highlights have included performing at the
3
THE PIMLICO MUSICAL FOUNDATION REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2025
Royal Festival Hall, singing evensong at Magdalen College, Oxford, and taking part in The Sixteen’s Sounds Sublime Festival.
Our adult ensembles continue to thrive - they have also performed at community events across Pimlico—lighting up winter nights and supporting intergenerational concerts.
We have deepened our roots in the Pimlico community, bolstered by new relationships with organisations such as Mary Smith’s Community Pantry and The Westminster Almshouses. Through One Westminster’s Social Prescribing programme, we have welcomed vulnerable adults into our music-making community—creating space for both artistic fulfilment and social connection.
Collaborations have again been central to our success. We were proud to continue our partnership with Opera Holland Park, providing the children's chorus for two sold-out productions, and to build relationships with new partners including The Sixteen, Future Academies, and the Tri-borough Music Hub. Our partnership with St Gabriel’s Church and the St Gabriel’s Parish House Trust remain at the heart of our delivery and operation, and we are grateful for their continued support.
FINANCIAL REVIEW AND RESERVES POLICY
The charity’s main source of income continued to be the donations it receives. The charity’s total income in the year to 31 August 2024 was £265.1k (2024: £242.9k). Other income outside donations was relatively minor and largely consisted of monies received in connection with individual performances. The increase in income was mainly due higher receipts of unrestricted donations and associated gift aid claims, and higher levels of donations towards the Foundation Scholars Programme.
Expenditure for the year was £222.4k (2024: 191.4k). The increase was due to a higher level of activities and increases in staff costs.
The result for the year was net income of £42.7k (2024: £51.5k net income). This brings the Foundation’s reserves to £164.3k of which £31.3k is restricted and £133.0k is unrestricted (‘free reserves’). This is equivalent to 6 – 8 months’ of expenditure in the financial year.

THE PIMLICO MUSICAL FOUNDATION REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2025
Reserves Policy
The Trustees are aware of the Charity Commissioners’ requirements regarding a Reserves Policy. They are satisfied that the current level of “free reserves” (unrestricted funds), which is broadly equivalent to 6 - 8 months’ budgeted expenditure, is required to enable them to maintain the objectives of the charity, meet all financial commitments as and when they fall due (including with regard to those individuals paid by the charity to deliver services) and to continue to expand the charity’s work. They envisage a target level of free reserves equivalent to 6 months expenditure is reasonable and in line with the charity’s pattern of funding and operations. The Trustees review regularly the level of reserves giving due consideration to the charity’s objectives and of changing external conditions.
PLANS FOR THE FUTURE
The Foundation will continue to pursue its objectives as set out above.
STATEMENT OF TRUSTEES’ RESPONSIBILITIES
Charity law requires the Trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial period which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity as at the balance sheet date and of its income and expenditure for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the Trustees are required to:
-
select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
-
observe the methods and principles of the Charities SORP;
-
make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; and
-
adopt the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue on that basis.
The Trustees are responsible for the keeping of proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and which enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011 and the charity’s governing document. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER’S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF
THE PIMLICO MUSICAL FOUNDATION
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2025
I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Pimlico Musical Foundation Charitable Incorporated Organisation (“the CIO”) for the Year ended 31 August 2025.
RESPONSIBILITIES AND BASIS OF THE REPORT
As the charity trustees of the CIO 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 Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed all applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act.
INDEPENDENT EXAMINER’S STATEMENT
I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect:
-
accounting records were not kept in respect of the CIO as required by section 130 of the Act;
-
the accounts do not accord with those records; or
-
the accounts do not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of the 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.

THE PIMLICO MUSICAL FOUNDATION
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2025
ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of preparation
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS102) (Second Edition effective 1 January 2019) – Charities SORP (FRS102), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS102).
The charity meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS102. Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy note(s).
The principal accounting policies adopted, judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty in the preparation of the accounts are laid out below.
Assessment of going concern
The trustees have assessed whether the use of the going concern assumption is appropriate in preparing these accounts and they have made this assessment in respect to a period of one year from the date of approval of these accounts. The trustees are of the opinion that there are no material uncertainties that may cast doubt on the charity’s ability to have sufficient resources to meet its liabilities as they fall due.
Income
Income is recognised in the period in which the charity has entitlement to the income, the amount of income can be measured reliably and it is probable that the income will be received.
Voluntary income, including legacies and donations, are recognised when receivable or when the Charity becomes legally entitled to them. Investment income is recognised on a receivable basis.
Income received in advance of a performance or the provision of another specified service is deferred until the criteria for income recognition are met.
Donated services and facilities
Donated professional services and donated facilities are recognised as income when the charity has control over the item, any conditions associated with the donated item have been met, the receipt of economic benefit from the use by the charity of the item is probable and that economic benefit can be measured reliably. In accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS102), general volunteer time is not recognised.
On receipt, donated professional services and donated facilities are recognised on the basis of the value of the gift to the charity which is the amount the charity would have been willing to pay to obtain services or facilities of equivalent economic benefit on the open market; a corresponding amount is then recognised in expenditure in the period of receipt.
9
THE PIMLICO MUSICAL FOUNDATION NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2025
Expenditure
Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to make a payment to a third party, it is probable that settlement will be required and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is classified under the following activity headings:
-
Costs of raising funds comprise the costs associated with attracting income and the costs of trading for fundraising purposes
-
Expenditure on charitable activities includes the costs of performances and of educational activities undertaken to further the purposes of the charity and their associated support costs.
-
Other expenditure represents those items not falling under any other heading.
Irrecoverable VAT is charged as a cost against the activity for which the expenditure was incurred.
Allocation of support costs
Support costs are those functions that assist the work of the charity but do not directly undertake charitable activities. Support costs include general staff and office costs and other costs which do not relate to specific programmes and activities of the charity.
These costs have been allocated entirely to expenditure on charitable activities.
Funds
General funds represent those monies which are freely available for application towards achieving any charitable purpose that falls within the charity’s charitable objects.
Restricted funds comprise monies raised for, or their use restricted to, a specific purpose, or contributions subject to donor imposed conditions.
Financial instruments
The charity only has financial assets and financial liabilities of a kind that qualify as basic financial instruments. Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at transaction value and subsequently measured at their settlement value.
Debtors
Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount due after any trade discount offered. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid net of any trade discounts due.
Cash at bank and in hand
Cash at bank and cash in hand includes cash and short-term highly liquid investments with a short maturity of three months or less from the date of acquisition or opening of the deposit or similar account.
10
THE PIMLICO MUSICAL FOUNDATION NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2025
Creditors and provisions
Creditors and provisions are recognised where the charity has a present obligation resulting from a past event that will probably result in the transfer of funds to a third party and the amount due to settle the obligation can be measured or estimated reliably. Creditors and provisions are normally recognised at their settlement amount after allowing for any trade discounts due.
Cash flow statement
The charity qualifies as small and consequently, has taken advantage of the exemption provided by the Charities SORP (FRS102) not to prepare a Cash Flow Statement for the year.
Taxation
The charity is a registered charity and its activities are mainly exempt from Corporation Tax. Thus, no taxation falls to be provided for in the financial statements.
