## **MILTON KEYNES CHORALE Registered charity number 1178002** ## **TRUSTEES ANNUAL REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 JULY 2021** The trustees present their report and accounts for the year ended 31 July 2021 and confirm that they comply with requirements of the Charities Act 2011, the Constitution and the Charities SORP (FRS 102). The objects of the charity are to advance, improve, develop and maintain public education in, and appreciation of, the art and science of music in all its aspects by any means the trustees see fit, including through the presentation of public concerts and recitals in and around Milton Keynes. ## **Review of Activities and Achievements** In common with all choirs, Milton Keynes Chorale has been unable to meet because of the Covid pandemic and Government guidelines. No face-to-face rehearsals or performances have been possible. Nevertheless, regular contact by way of Zoom has been maintained as a means of keeping the members in touch. The Board of Trustees met on seven occasions during 2020/21 by way of Zoom meetings. Much of the year has been an assessment of restarting rehearsals and the planning of live performances. The Board also met most weeks to discuss the latest medical and political happenings affecting music. ## **Future Plans** The pattern of meetings, rehearsals and concerts cannot be determined at present and the Board is keeping a close watch. ## **Financial Review** Income for the year was £2.895 and expenditure was £12,826 giving a deficit of £9,931. The Board recommended that the choir should support the Music Director and his Assistant which was agreed by the membership. Total reserves at 31 July 2021 were £25,087. The Trustees believe this is necessary to fund future plans. 1 ## **Structure, Governance and Management** The charity operates under a Constitution for a Charitable Incorporated Organisation dated 6 March 2018, which sets out how trustees are elected.
