Summary of the main activities undertaken for the public benefit in relation to these objects (include within this section the statutory declaration that trustees have had regard to the guidance issued by the Charity Commission on public benefit)

Overall the group has continued to meet its objective of maintaining and developing interest in classical chamber music in the local area. Articles written for the local press publicised our activities and illustrated the impact of music in the area. Interest in music education was increased by the widening of the potential audience through opening the Music Appreciation course to streaming on line. The development of our facility for streaming performances provided opportunities for numerous other community groups such as Bollington Brass Band to continue performing and build their audiences. Outside the field of music our actions have increased the ability of the Bollington Arts Centre to promote cultural activities.

The Trustees have taken full regard of the guidance issued by the Charity Commission on public benefit.

Additional details of objectives and activities (Optional information)

You may choose to include further statements, where relevant, about:

After the main Covid pandemic period the main activity of managing the activities of the society was progressively resumed. The volunteer group of 8 people, who are all committee members, was refreshed as two of the previous year’s group moved from the area or retired and were replaced. Designing the annual programme of concerts, booking performers and the venue and making all the arrangements involved in staging concerts was carried out by these volunteers. Audiences for performances were restricted and some limitations had to be managed to meet the exigencies of the continuing pandemic; additional volunteers helped with this process. Streaming was developed into an ongoing process and one volunteer with special knowledge contributed strongly to this action and to the enhancement of the facility.

Section D Achievements and performance

I

Summary of the main achievements of the charity during the year

Streaming became an important element in staging performances in the Bollington Arts Centre during the early part of the pandemic. During the year our resources were developed to improve transmission quality to the point where this element has now become a regular component of our concerts. The addition of new equipment and the enhancement of the technical facilities by one of our volunteers has made the process more reliable and less dependent on large amounts of time setting up. As a result the society has been able to improve the Arts Centre streaming facility so that other performance groups can take advantage of it. Music Appreciation courses were re-started and now offer participants the choice of streaming or attending in person. The success of this activity is shown by the fact that there is a waiting list.
