ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE The year saw the Chineke Foundation emerging from the dev8Station eaused by the Covid-19 pandemic which had so adversely impacted on the previous year where very few public concerts had been possible. Adhering to the strict government protocols which were still in place al the beginning of the year, where mask-wearing, temperalur&checking, socia14istancing, hand-sanitising, on&way systems were observed, public concert-giving resumed in April 2021. The Chinekel Orchestra gave the first performance before a live audience in over a year at the Royal Festival Hall on 28 May with Sheku Kanneh-mason as soloist in Dvorak's Cello Concerto alongside repertoire by Black composers, thus continuing Chineke's policy of programming works by composers of diverse heritage in each programme. On this occasion, the Orchestra gave the UK premiere of Carlos Simon's Fate Now Conquers and the first performance with an audience present, ofcomposerJames Wilson's Remnants setting words, written by and performed live, by poet and spoken word artist Yomi Sode, which was commissioned by Soulhbank Centre in 2020 and was inspired by Patrick Hulchinson's bravery in saving the life of an anti-BLM protester in June 2020. A further Royal Festival Hall concert followed on 10 July with symphonies by William Grant Still and Florence B Price, and Grieg's Piano Concerto perfomied by the young pianist Amiri Harewood. Following our experience during the pre￿dIng year of lockdown, the May and July concerts, as well as three further Southbank con￿rtS during the year, were recorded for future release on CD and filmed for subsequent streaming on Chineke's Youtube channel. The earty months of the year also saw the Chineke Chamber Ensemble performing several concerts at Sl Martin-in-Ihe-Fields, Wigmore Hall, the Pavilion of the African Diaspora at Somerset House, Lauderdale House in north London, and at Festivals in Brighton, Cambridge, Petsvorth and Shaldon in Devon where the musicians also led a workshop with pupils from the local primary school. An important event took place at Sl Paul's Cathedral on 18 May, where the Chineke Orchestra gave a virtual lie filmed, with no audience) concert to mark the 751n anniversary of the founding of Christian Aid.

Fortunately, two of the three cancelled concerts lin Eindhoven and Rotterdam) have been reinstated as part of a new European tour in November 2022.

CHINEKE FOUNDATION IA Company Limited by Guarantee) TRUSTEES. REPORT (CONTINUED} FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022 The activities described above could not have been achieved without the support of the Cultural Recovery Fund, via Arts Council England, and several trusts and foundations whose emergency grants supported many of the projects and our core costs. The result was that we were able to emerge with a financial surplus at the year end, as described in the next section. Our particular thanks goes lo John Ellerman Foundation, Esmée Fairbairn Foundation, Paul Hamlyn Foundation, Linbury Trust, London Community Response Fund and Garfield Weston. FINANCIAL REVIEW Following the drop in turnover experienced in 202￿21, the year saw an increase in turnover from £832,229 in 2021 10 £1,632,445 in 2022 which is the highest level since the organisation's foundation in 2015.

Many individuals and organisations supported Chineke during the year including Arts Council England, John Ellerman Foundation, Esmée Fairbairn Foundation, Paul Hamlyn Foundation, Linbury Trust, London Community Response Fund and Garfield Weston, lo all of whom the Chineke Foundation is most grateful.

Junior Orchestra in August, visiting Amsterdam, Berlin and Lucerne.. and a lour by the Chineke! Orchestra to Hamburg, Helsinki and Lucerne in Augususeptember. Current projections are for a deficit of£350,000 in the current year which will redu￿ our projected reserves to £161,642. The target Is lo rebuild these reserves to £500,000 by 31 March 2026. Free reserves stood al £511,363 at the balance sheet dale, after deducting the value of tangible fixed assets from unreslricled reserves. During the year, the Foundation continued to employ full-time, permanent members of staff in its management team. These two members of staff have been paid as PAYE employees, with appropriate deductions for lax, Nl and pensions (which have been set up with NESTI being taken from their salary. The other three members of staff were engaged as consultants on a freelance basis, bul will be paid as PAYE employees from April 2022 onwards. PLANS FOR FUTURE PERIODS Having emerged from the slriclures of the Covid-19 pandemic which affected much of our work over the past two years, 2022-23 will be one of the busiest since Chineke was founded in 2015. In April 2022 Southbank Centre announced that, following five years as Associate Orchestra, Chineke would become full"Residenl Orchestra" enhancing still further its close connection with the venue where the Chineke Orchestra presents its show-case concerts in London. On Thursday 28 April 2022, the Chineke Orchestra will perform at the Royal Festival Hall with conductor Andrew Grams making his debut with Chinekel and who will return to conduct a tour to North America in Ma￿h 2023.

REPORT (CONTINUED} FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022 December 2021 and has been released lo great acclaim in June 2022, going straight to the top of the classical charts. The Chineke Chamber Ensemble will also give concerts across the country including at Champs Hill, Manchester, Nollingham and Winchester, and at Wigmore Hall in London. The Chineke Junior Orchestra will have their second Summer Residency in August 2022 which will see them rehearsing together for a week al Dulwich College in London, followed by an important tour giving performances in Amsterdam, Berlin and Lucerne. Our Learning & Participation programme will continue with visits to schools. Having moved our instrument storage to Woolwich Works in November 2021, the move to this exciting new development in the Royal Borough of Greenwich will be completed when we move to new offices there in January 2023. As well as providing office and instrument storage, the Woolwich Residency will see Chineke rehearsing in the many rehearsal spaces at the venue and our Learning & Participation programme will continue lo embed Chineke in the local community and our Chineke Orchestra and Chineke Junior Orchestra will also perform in the Borough. 2022-23 promises to be our busiest year yet for foreign touring, with two European tours planned in August and November 2022. 2022-23 will also see the expansion of our management team with the appointment of a fulltime Managing Director, Projects Director, Development Director. and Orchestra Manager. The year will also see the appointment of a new Marketing & Communications Manager and Learning & Participation Manager, both of which roles became vacant towards the end of 2021-22. To fund future aclivilies, the management team, and particularly the new Development Director, will continue lo apply for grants from granl-making organisalions whose policies and remit ovedap with those of the Chineke Foundation. The organisation will continue to develop Ils 'Friends' pr￿rarnMe, reflecting the important role individual donors have played in its first years of operation. Financially, the increase in activity in 2022-23 has resulted in a reduction in reserves but the plan is to rebuild these lo the level of at least £500,000 by 2026. A key initiative in May 2022 will be the submission of an application to Arts Council England for Chinekel to become a National Portfolio Organisation INPOI from 2023-2026. With Chinekel having been reliant on Arts Council pmject funding for its fi'rst seven years of existence, to receive Ihree-year funding as a member of Arts Council England's National Portfolio, would be transformational, and would enable the organisalion to operate on a more sustainable basis and broaden the scope of ils work. Al the time of finalising these accounts, the NPO bid was successful. ASSESSMENT OF MAJOR RISKS The Trustees have considered the significant risks to which the Chineke Foundation is exposed and have established appropriate proTrdures to mitigate the impact of those risks. Major areas of risk relate to factors that may affect the financial success of the orchestra including the continuing impact of the world-wide Covid-19 pandemic, the resulting uncertainly of global economies and its effect on box office income, local authority funding and income from trusts, foundations, individuals and other sponsors. The impact of the UK departure from the European Union is being scrulinised and the effects that this Page 7

CHINEKE FOUNDATION {A Company Limited by Guarantee) INDEPENDENT AUDITORS. REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF CHINEKE FOUNDATION (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022 Auditors. responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misslatemenl, whether due lo fraud or error. and lo issue an auditors, reFlOrt that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, bul is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAS IUKI will always delecl a material misstalemenl when it exists. Misslatemenls can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements. Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design procedures in line with our resFionsibililies, outlined above, to detect material misstatements in respect of irregularities, including fraud. The exlenl to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below. In identifying and assessing risks of material misstatement in respect of irregularib'es, including fraud and non- compliance with laws and regulations, we considered the following". Enquiries of management, including obtaining and reviewng supporting documentation, concerning the charity's policies and procedures relating lo". identifying, evaluating and complying with18ws and regulations and whether they were aware of any instances of non-compliance detecting and responding to the risks of fraud and whether they have knowledge of any actual, suspected or alleged fraud., and the internal controls established to mitigate risks related to fraud or non-compliance of laws and regulations, and DiscLJSSiOnS among the engagement team regarding how and where fraud might occur in the financial statements and any potential indicators of fraud. The engagement team includes audit partners and staff who have extensive experience of working with entities in similar sectors and this experience was relevant to the discLJSSiOn about where fraud risks might arise. We also obtained an understanding of the leg81 and regulatory framework that the charity operates in, focusing on provisions of those laws and regulations that had direct effect on the delerminalion of material amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The key laws and regulations we considered in this context included the UK Charities Act, Charities SORP 2019 and the Companies Act 2006. In addition, we considered provisions of other laws and regulations that do not have a direct effect on the financial statements bul compliance with which may be fundamental to the charity's ability to operate or lo avoid a material penalty. Page 12

CHINEKE FOUNDATION {A Company Limited by Guarantee) INDEPENDENT AUDITORS. REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF CHINEKE FOUNDATION (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022 As a result of these procedures, we considered the particular areas that were susceptible to misstatement due to irregularities, including fraLJd were in respect of the revenue recognition, management override and the incorrect allocation of expenditure against grant income. Our procedures to respond to risks identified included the following". Reviewing the financial statement disclosures and testing to supporting documentation to assess compliance with provisions of relevant laws and regulations described as having a direct effect on the financial statements, Enquiring of management conceming actu81 and potential litigation and claims., Performing analytical procedures to identify any unusu81 or unexpected relationships that may indicate risks of material misstalemenl due to fraud., Reading minutes of meetings of those charged with governance., Reviewing recognition of grant income on a sample b8SlS to verify appropriate recognition and classification., In addressing the risk of fraud through management override of controls", assessing whether the judgements made in making accoLJnting estimates are indicative of a potential bias," and evaluating the rationale of any significant transactions that are unusual or outside the normal course of the charity's operations., Reviewing allocation of expenditLJre between unrestricted and restricted funds and performing subsl8nlive testing on a sample of expenditure. Because of the inherent limitations of an audit, there is 8 risk that we will not detect all irregularities, including those leading to a material misstatement in the financial statements or non-compliance with regulation. This risk increases the more that compliance with a law or regulation is removed from the events and transactions reflected in the financial statements. as we will be less likely to become aware of instances of non-compliance. The risk is also greater regarding irregularities occurring due lo fraud rather than error, as fraud involves intentional conce8lmenl, ft)rgery, collusion, omission or misrepresentation. A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the Financial Reporting Council's website at.. www.frc.or .uklauditorsres onsibililies. This description forms part of our auditors, reporL Use of our report This report is made solely to the charitable company's members, as a body, in accordance with Chapter 3 of Part 16 of the Companies Act 2006.
