THE AIDAN WOODCOCK CHARITABLE TRUST
CHAIRMAN'S REPORT for the year ended 31 May 2025
The Aidan Woodcock Charitable Trust. which operates under the name Maiastra,
has continued to provide high quality chamber music courses for talented young
music students.
l am delighted to report that over the past year Maiastra has arranged 25 public
concerts for 32 students. We held four residential courses and six non-residential
courses. The residential courses take pla￿ in a beautiful converted barn in the
Surrey Hills outside Dorking which provides an ideal space in which to study the
chamber music repertoire over a ten-day period under the direction of one of our
course directors. The non-residential courses are aimed at more advanced students
who intend to become professional musicians and who are nearing the end of their
musical training, so the rehearsal time is reduced to two days before the
performance of two or three public concerts. In addition to these courses, we held
two fundraising concerts and we were invited to perform at Oriel College Oxford. To
summarise Maiastra's activities over the past four years

Course directors
Each course is directed by a course director of the highest quality. This year our
course directors were Arisa Fujita. Matthijs Broersma, David Wateman, Akiko
Ono. Bartosz Woroch and Florence Cooke. Upon these course directors lies the
responsibility of achieving and maintaining the standards which we and our
audiences have come to expect and to them the charity owes a substantial debt of
gratitude.
Outside coaching
Professor David Takeno continues to provide inspirational input not only as a coach
for the courses but also through his interest and concern for the work of the charity.
We are fortunate to have excellent backup in David Wateman, previously ￿l11st of
the Endellion Quartet, and Simon Rowland-Jones. violist of the Chilingirian Quartet.
Each one of these coaches is outstanding.

THE AIDAN WOODCOCK CHARITABLE TRUST
CHAIRMAN'S REPORT for the year ended 31 May 2025{continued)
Administration
Organising public concerts entails much work. The Trust's marketing and cOn￿rt
organisation has been run very efficiently by Sarah Baldwin, a professional violinist,
as Marketing and Operations Manager. Anna Phillips, a professional harpist, has
joined us as Concert Manager. Lauren￿ Herbert continues to do a sterling job in
providing accounting SeNi￿S for the Trust.
In addition. we greatly appreciate the tremendous support of the many volunteers
who assist in different ways. such as serving refreshments and audien
liaison. Many thanks to them all.
Board
l extend my thanks to all our trustees vtho support the charity in many different
ways.
Financial position
For the year ending 31 May 2025, the Trust's income increased by 48% to £59,423.
Our costs have ri*n by 28°k to £99,640 These costs include a grant of £4.373 to
the Parkinson's UK charity following a fundraising cOn￿rt in September 2024 and
the grant of the Bowers viola, which had been valued at £2.500, to the Yehudi
Menuhin School. The trustees considered this instrument appropriate for a school
aged student but not for a budding professional player. The viola had been gifted
to the charity out of the estate of Mrs Susan Woodcock in March 2022. The course
and marketing figures rose in line with the increased number of concerts. The
Trust's investments have increased by £3, 125.
Instruments
In 2015 the Trust acquired a Matteo Goffriller wolin c. 1690 so that it could be
loaned to a promising performer on a year-by-year basis. Since then, the violin has
been used by Savitri Grier whose career has developed well and who divides her
time between performing with the Kaleidoscope Chamber Collective and the
Orchestre Philharmonique de Radio Fran￿. The violin was handed back on 15 July
2025 and the trustees are considering who to loan the violin to. Of the items donated
to the charity in March 2022, the Bowers viola has b*n granted to the Menuhin
School., three bows have been sold, have been loaned to talented Maiastra
students and the remaining one has been placed with a Maiastra student on a 36
month hire purchase plan.
Donors
It continues to be desirable to maintain the free-of-all-charge student policy in
relation to the courses and this would not be possible without donations, both
general and those arising from retiring collections at the end of each con￿rt.
word of special thanks to all our donors who enable us to fulfil our objectives and
for whom the concerts themselves stand as a testament to their generosity.
The Future
The trustees of the Aidan Woodcock Charrtable Trust are looking forward to
meeting the challenge of continuing to nurture musical talent in young people
aboLrt which Aidan cared so deeply.

STATEMENT OF TRUSTEES, RESPONSIBILITIES
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MA Y 2025
The charity trustees are responsible for preparing a trustees, annual report and
financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom
Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting
Practice).
The law applicable to charities in England and Wales requires the charrty
trustees to prepare financial statements for each year which give a true and
fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and of the incoming resources and
application of resources of the charity for that period. In preparing the financial
statements, the trustees are required to-
select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently-
observe the methods and principles in the applicable Charities SORP;
make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent.,
state whether applicable accounting standards have been followed,
subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the
financial statements.,
prepare the financial statements on the going cOn￿M basis unless it is
inappropriate to presume that the charty will continue in business.
The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records that
disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the
charity and to enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with
the Charities Act 2011, the applicable Charities (Accounts and Reports)
Regulations, and the provisions of the Trust deed. They are also responsible

THE AIDAN WOODCOCK CHARITABLE TRUST
INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES
I report on the accounts of the Trust for the year ended 31 May 2025. which are set out on
pages7to11.
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(2) of the Charities Act 2011 (the
2011 Act)} and that an independent examination is needed.
It is my responsibility to=
Examine the accounts {under section 145 of the 2011 Act),
To follow the procedures laid down in the General Directions given by the Charity
Commission {under section 14515) of the 2011 Act),
and to state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
Basis of the independent examtneP$ statement
My examination was carried out in accordance with General Directions given by the Charity
Commission. An examination includes a ieview of the accounting records kept by the charty
and a comparison of the accounts wrth those records. It also includes consideration of any
unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanation 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 Vie￿ and the report is limited to those matters set out in
the statement below.
Independent examinerfs statement
In the course of my examination, no matter has come to my attention
1) which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material aspect the
requirements-
a) to keep accounting records in accordance with section 130 of the 2011 Act", and
bl to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply wtth the
accounting requirements of the 2011 Act
have not been met. or
21 to which, in my opinion, attention should be dravm in order to enable a proper
understanding ofthe accounts to be reached.
