The charity’s activities are governed by the constitution established on 13 October 2016 and is constituted as a Charitable Incorporated Organisation with voting members other than its charity trustees.

## **Objectives and activities**
The objects of the CIO are to advance the education of the public in the arts, including, but not restricted to, music, singing, drama, mime, dance, painting, photography and sculpture and in matters of historical, scientific and general interest by the provision of festivals and similar events in the vicinity of Tavistock.
## **Review of progress and achievement**
Thanks to the devotion of an active Festival Committee the business has continued to strengthen this year. Positive relationships with a growing cohort of sponsors and supporters have provided a more secure platform for planning and better control of income and expenditure. Extensive advertising continues to generate good support for the varied programme and this has been reflected in increased audience numbers attending a wider range of events.
Although the first concert in the 2022 series was cancelled due to COVID related illness Festival highlights included the Haizea Wind Quintet in the newly refurbished Guildhall, a jazz afternoon tea in the Bedford Hotel, the North Devon Sinfonia in the Parish Church and the Stannary Brass Band Concert with Angela Rippon. Lunchtime concerts and performances by young people are particularly popular.

## **Statement of Trustees’ Responsibilities**
## **Year ended 31 July 2022**
The trustees are required to prepare financial statements for each financial year, which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs and of the surplus or deficit of the charity for that period. In preparing those financial statements, the trustees are required to:-
- Select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
- Make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
- Prepare the financial statements on a going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue.
The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records, which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets and liabilities 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 Tavistock Festival CIO**
## **Year ended 31 July 2022**
## **Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner**
As the charity’s trustees you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts; you consider that the audit requirement of section 144(2) of the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act) does not apply.
## 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 Commissioner under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 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 Commissioners. 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 you as trustees concerning 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
- a. To keep accounting records in accordance with section 130 of the 2011 Act; and
- b. To prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and to comply with the accounting requirements of the 2011 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.
