|Summary of the main
achievements of the charity,
identifying the difference the
charity’s work has made to
the circumstances of its
beneficiaries and any wider
benefits to society as a
whole.|Para 1.20|The 2021 Waterperry Opera Festival took
place on the Waterperry Estate between
Thursday 12thand Saturday 21stAugust
2021. Following the much reduced 2020
Festival due to the Covid-9 pandemic, the
2021 Festival returned with a more
extensive and diverse creative programme
of productions and events over a longer
period and built again upon the many
achievements of previous Festivals.
The many and varied spaces available on
the Waterperry Estate were used to
maximum advantage to provide a unique
experience for audiences. The programme
was led by four performances of The Elixir
of Love (Donizetti), conducted by Festival
Musical Director, Bertie Baigent which was
staged in front of the main Waterperry
House façade. Performances of Peter and
The Wolf (Prokofiev) were presented in the
gardens and provided an engaging
theatrical experience aimed at introducing
children to classical instruments through
vibrant storytelling. Ariel (Dove), a song
cycle based upon Shakespeare’s the
Tempest, returned and was staged in the
Rose Garden. A second stage was
constructed in the Woodland where
performances of Hansel and Gretel
(Humperdinck) took place which
incorporated British Sign Language,
directed by Associate Artistic Director|
Rebecca Meltzer. The Woodland Stage was also used to present performances of Clairiere dans le Ciel (Boulanger) and On Wenlock Edge (Vaughan Williams) and finally, there was a return to the Waterperry Amphitheatre to stage performances of Quartet for the End of Time (Messiaen) reimagined through a late night light installation. The Young Artist Programme which was unable to proceed in 2020 was able to return in 2021 under which promising young practitioners (singers, a director, a designer and a musical director) were given the opportunity to gain experience in a professional environment together with coaching, mentoring and careers advice. The YA Programme was led by Rebecca Meltzer, Associate Artistic Director and Mark Wilde, Royal Academy of Music Professor of Singing. As well as taking part as the chorus in The Elixir of Love, there was a Young Artist Showcase of material from the opera repertoire also presented on the Woodland Stage as ‘Love in Opera’, and they also received private tuition and took part in Masterclasses open to the public. There was also a series of PreShow Talks by industry professionals and prominent artists. More details are available on the website including quotations from various sources in support of the Festival and its achievements. (http://www.waterperryoperafestival.co.uk) A total of 2589 tickets were sold, excluding Complimentary Tickets issued to invited guests. Concessionary discounted ticket prices were made available to unwaged, disabled and students to support our objective and commitment to accessibility.

|**Section C Notes to the accounts**|**(cont)**|
|---|---|
|**Recognition of income**
**Liability recognition**
The charity accounts for basic financial instruments on initial recognition as per
paragraph 10.7 FRS102 SORP. Subsequent measurement is as per paragraphs 11.17
to 11.19, FRS102 SORP.
**Creditors**
The charity has creditors which are measured at settlement amounts less any trade
discounts
This is only included in the SoFA once the charity has provided the related goods or
services or met the performance related conditions.
**Support costs**
**2.3 EXPENDITURE AND LIABILITIES**
Liabilities are recognised where it is more likely than not that there is a legal or
constructive obligation committing the charity to pay out resources and the amount of
the obligation can be measured with reasonable certainty.
Support costs have been allocated between governance costs and other support.
Governance costs comprise all costs involving public accountability of the charity and
its compliance with regulation and good practice.
The charity has incurred expenditure on support costs.
A liability is measured on recognition at its historical cost and then subsequently
measured at the best estimate of the amount required to settle the obligation at the
reporting date
**Provisions for**
**liabilities**
**Basic financial**
**instruments**
No material item of deferred income has been included in the accounts.
Support costs include central functions and have been allocated to activity cost
categories on a basis consistent with the use of resources, eg allocating property costs
by floor areas, or per capita, staff costs by the time spent and other costs by their
usage.
**Government grants**
The charity has received government grants in the reporting period
**Tax reclaims on**
**donations and gifts**
**Volunteer help**
**Donated services and**
**facilities**
**Contractual income**
**and performance**
**related grants**
Gift Aid receivable is included in income when there is a valid declaration from the
donor. Any Gift Aid amount recovered on a donation is considered to be part of that gift
and is treated as an addition to the same fund as the initial donation unless the donor
or the terms of the appeal have specified otherwise.
**Offsetting**
**Grants and donations**
**Note 2 Accounting policies**
**2.2 INCOME**
Grants and donations are only included in the SoFA when the general income
recognition criteria are met (5.10 to 5.12 FRS102 SORP).
These are included in the Statement of Financial Activities (SoFA) when:
the charity becomes entitled to the resources;
it is more likely than not that the trustees will receive the resources;
the monetary value can be measured with sufficient reliability.
There has been no offsetting of assets and liabilities, or income and expenses, unless
required or permitted by the FRS 102 SORP or FRS 102.
The value of any voluntary help received is not included in the accounts but is
described in the trustees’ annual report.
In the case of performance related grants, income must only be recognised to the
extent that the charity has provided the specified goods or services as entitlement to
the grant only occurs when the performance related conditions are met (5.16 FRS 102
SORP).
Donated services and facilities are included in the SOFA when received at the value of
the gift to the charity provided the value of the gift can be measured reliably.
Donated services and facilities that are consumed immediately are recognised as
income with an equivalent amount recognised as an expense under the appropriate
heading in the SOFA.

## **2.4 ASSETS**
These are capitalised if they can be used for more than one year, and cost at least
**Tangible fixed assets for use by charity**
They are valued at cost.
The depreciation rates and methods used are disclosed in note 14.
Debtors (including trade debtors and loans receivable) are measured on initial **Debtors** recognition at settlement amount after any trade discounts or amount advanced by the charity. Subsequently, they are measured at the cash or other consideration expected to be received.
The charity has investments which it holds for resale or pending their sale and cash and **Current asset** cash equivalents with a maturity date less than one year. These include cash on **investments** deposit and cash equivalents with a maturity of loss than one year held for investment purposes rather than to meet short-term cash commitments as they fall due.
