Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner
The charity’s trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The charity’s 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. 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 statement
My examination was carried out in accordance with 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 aspect 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.

|
|---|---|
| Summary of the main activites undertaken for the public beneft in relation to these objects |
Between 10 and 22 June 2021, Team FitzFest presented a wide selection of concerts, drama pieces, talks, walks and social and ftness events -- an inclusive festival that paid tribute both to the current thriving community and to the rich cultural history of the area. Taking music out of the concert hall and on to the streets of London, venues included unconventional spaces, such as the Rebecca Hossack Gallery and the Fitzrovia Chapel. Our diverse programme included both low- cost and free events as we wanted to make the festival as accessible as possible. You didn't need to book as it was a simple process of card payment on the door. Alongside many world-class professional musicians performing daily, our international artists for 2021 included Nick Moran, Neil McLaren and Katherine Spencer. These activities satisfy the objects of the CIO in promoting the arts and education of the public by providing performances and workshops. FitzFest’s social media |
presence continues to reach a large and diverse audience. The trustees are aware of the guidance issued by the Charity Commission on public benefit and are satisfied that the activities of FitzFest meet the criteria set out therein.
Section D Achievements and performance
| Summary of the main achievements of the charity during the year |
FitzFest 2022 celebrated London's Fitzrovia with all its musical heritage from past generations together with the contemporary diversity that thrives today. With a programme of music made entirely by musicians who have lived or worked in Fitzrovia over the centuries - and often played on historical instruments made in Fitzrovia - the festival was and always will be grounded in the local community. The 2022 edition ofered an array of community concerts, workshops, social and ftness events to draw the local people into the festival and to celebrate the current community alongside the historical culture of the area. We used unconventional spaces such as shops, bars, pubs, art galleries and open community spaces. FitzFest 2022 touched the lives of people from across London as they enjoyed music, walks, art and yoga (plus workshops for children). Events were often held in unconventional venues, which made them accessible to all and extra interesting to attend. Feedback we collected made it clear that the festival brought friends and neighbours together, exploring unknown parts ofthe city and |
|---|---|
strengthening their sense of community. For them, Fitzrovia just felt a better place to visit, live or work. Building on the success of FitzFest 2019, we asked audiences and consulted with the community as to what events they would like to see staged at FitzFest 2023. We decided to reprise the Eric Coates piece that Sue wrote for FitzFest 2016. This was very successful and very well attended.
