## **Report of the Trustees for the Year Ended 31 December 2020** 

The trustees present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 December 2020. The trustees have adopted the provisions of Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019). 

## **OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES** 

## **Objectives and aims** 

The object of the charity is to advance the education of the public in the appreciation of marching band music and in particular to advance the education and training of young people in the playing of marching band instruments by establishing and maintaining a marching youth band. 

## **Significant activities** 

The charity's main activities are: 

1 - Romford Drum and Trumpet Corps - Youth Marching Band. 

The band is open to any boy or girl who wishes to join. Uniform, instruments and tuition are provided free of charge with no subscriptions being payable. The corps performs at events all over the world in order to promote opportunities and development of the members and leaders. 

## 2 - Taunton Hall. 

Taunton hall was obtained by the charity in 2011 and funding was raised for the refurbishment. The hall is maintained as the headquarters and delivery base of the charity. Spare capacity at the hall is rented out to other local charities and community members of which the rental monies received helps to cover the running costs. 

## **Public benefit** 

The trustees have considered the requirements to ensure the charity provides a benefit to the public. The Board have concluded that the work they provide to the youth of the local area demonstrates the benefit to the public. 

## **ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE** 

## **Charitable activities** 

During the year the charity worked with over 50 young people within the marching band, providing musical tuition and instruction as well as performance opportunities. 

Youngsters experienced various opportunities throughout the year including travelling within the UK and abroad for performance opportunities. 

## **Fundraising activities** 

Various fundraising activities were conducted in the year to raise additional funds for use in charitable activities. 

Fundraising activities were managed and operated by the main committee during the year and at no time was a professional fundraiser engaged. 

## **FINANCIAL REVIEW** 

## **Principal funding sources** 

The charity receives the majority of its funds from donations towards the band performing as well as from venue hire from lettings of Taunton Hall. 

Venue hire continued to increase in the year and was used to maintain the operation of the building. 

The trustees were pleased that the band activities managed to realise a small surplus in the year, however continued to make a net deficit on the operation of the Taunton Hall after amortisation costs.

## **Report of the Trustees for the Year Ended 31 December 2020** 

## **FINANCIAL REVIEW** 

## **Reserves policy** 

The Romford Drum and Trumpet Corps (RDTC) has four sources of income which are: 

1 - Income fees from performances 

- 2 - Local fundraising activities 

- 3 - Ad hoc donations 

4 - Rental income from leased property 

None of these sources are guaranteed, it is crucial therefore to ensure there are sufficient reserve funds to allow the charity to continue to operate for a period of not less than 12 months whilst fundraising takes place to operate normally or to wind up the organisation allowing time for the organisation to meet its obligations to staff and service users if existing sources of income were to cease. 

The charity is currently dependent on local fundraising and ad hoc donations and rental income to sustain its activities as earned income alone would not allow the charity to continue operating. This means that if there was no local fundraising or ad hoc donations it is likely that the charity would have to cease operating. 

To avoid closure if funding difficulties were to happen, the trustees of the charity have agreed to keep a level of  financial reserves to enable the charity to operate for at least 12 months. 

Current funding has been secured until the end of December 2019 but if difficulties were to arise it has been estimated that £4,000 would be needed to function for the following 12 months. 

The charity meets this policy at the balance sheet date. The policy will be reviewed at monthly board meetings or whenever there are significant changes in staff personnel. 

## **Funds in deficit** 

The trustees are aware that the charity showed da deficit in 2019. 

2019: The deficit in the year is caused by the amortisation of the leasehold improvements over the remaining years of the lease.  The overall position for the year can be split into: 

||**2019**|
|---|---|
|Operating surplus for band activities|£    401|
|Operating deficit for Taunton Hall activities|(£1,086)|
|Amortisation for Taunton Hall activities|(£7,352)|
|Overall deficit for Taunton Hall activities|(£8,438)|
|**Organisational deficit for the year:**|**(£8,037)**|



The deficit before amortisation for the year is low in value and has arisen due to continued repair and maintenance costs of the property which are required to improve the compliance of the building to make it suitable for modern requirements. 

The Trustees were aware of the deficit position and are pleased to report that the charity moved to a surplus position during the year to 2020. 

## **FUTURE PLANS** 

On 1st January 2020 the charity commenced activities due to the conversion of the previous registered charity Romford Drum and Trumpet (Reg Co. 278664) as part of a conversion process.

## **Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of Romford Drum and Trumpet Corps (RDTC)** 

## **Independent examiner's report to the trustees of Romford Drum and Trumpet Corps (RDTC)** 

I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of Romford Drum and Trumpet Corps (RDTC) (the Trust) for the year ended 31 December 2020. 

## **Responsibilities and basis of report** 

As the charity trustees of the Trust you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 ('the Act'). 

I report in respect of my examination of the Trust's accounts carried out under section 145 of the Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed all applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act. 

## **Independent examiner's statement** 

I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect: 

1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the Trust as required by section 130 of the Act; or 

2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or 

3. the accounts do not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 other than any requirement that the accounts give a true and fair view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination. 

I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

## **Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 December 2020** 

## **1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES** 

## **Basis of preparing the financial statements** 

The financial statements of the charity, which is a public benefit entity under FRS 102, have been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102) 'Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019)', Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland' and the Charities Act 2011. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention. 

## **Income** 

All income is recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities once the charity has entitlement to the funds, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably. 

## **Expenditure** 

Liabilities are recognised as expenditure as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to that expenditure, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all cost related to the category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources. 

## **Tangible fixed assets** 

Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off each asset over its estimated useful life. 

Improvements to property - in accordance with the property Fixtures and fittings - 10% on reducing balance 

Instruments and other equipment have been valued at net realisable value and will be revalued each year. This is a departure from recognised accounting principles, but we consider it to show a true and fair view of the value. 

## **Stocks** 

Stocks are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value, after making due allowance for obsolete and slow moving items. 

## **Taxation** 

The charity is exempt from tax on its charitable activities. 

## **Fund accounting** 

Unrestricted funds can be used in accordance with the charitable objectives at the discretion of the trustees. 

Restricted funds can only be used for particular restricted purposes within the objects of the charity. Restrictions arise when specified by the donor or when funds are raised for particular restricted purposes. 

Further explanation of the nature and purpose of each fund is included in the notes to the financial statements. 

## **Hire purchase and leasing commitments** 

Rentals paid under operating leases are charged to the Statement of Financial Activities on a straight line basis over the period of the lease.
