**The Riot Ensemble Ltd. Company No. 08482425 Trustees' Report For The Year Ended 30 April 2025**
The trustees present their report and the financial statements for the year ended 30 April 2025.
## **Objectives and Activities**
## **Aims and Objectives**
The charity's objects are specifically restricted to the following: 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 and by encouraging the appreciation and practice of the arts through scholarships, studentships, prizes, competitions or other means.
The trustees have paid due regard to guidance issued by the Charity Commission in deciding what activities the charity should undertake and confirm that they have complied with the requirements of Section 17 of the Charities Act 2011 to have due regard to the Charity Commission’s guidance on public benefit.
## **Achievements and Performance**
## **Main Achievements**
The time covered in these accounts represented a strong and busy time for Riot Ensemble, with twenty (20) concerts and twelve (12) education projects in higher education institutions across Manchester, Liverpool, and London. The work in higher education is a particularly strong area of Riot Ensemble’s work, and through workshops and education projects the ensemble gave some forty-five (45) first performances of student work.
This work was including the second year of Riot Ensemble’s Art-Mentor Lucerne residency at the Royal Academy of Music, which continues now into its 3rd. During this accounting period, six performers and three composers came into residence with the ensemble, working on numerous commissions, side-by-side and professional projects – including a self-produced ‘Fluxus’ concert inspired by the Yoko Ono exhibition at the Tate, and a duo concerti concert mentored by guest soloist Yaron Deutsch, which culminated in a concert at Duke’s Hall which saw the three duo-concerti (each composed by one resident composer and featuring the student soloists) recorded and broadcast on BBC Radio 3. Unusually for such a scheme, the composers are invited to write multiple pieces (five, in total) across numerous years where they really come into close contact and collaboration with Riot’s players. After many years, Riot is eschewing ‘one-off’ education projects to ambitiously pursue such work, with a vision of transforming our education work into mentorship everywhere that it occurs.
UK concerts included Riot’s debut on series such as New Music Durham alongside our ongoing relationship HCMF, and a return to the stage of Wigmore Hall with a new world premiere from Jocelyn Campbell (fast becoming another close collaborator of the group). with a return to Wigmore Hall, the Huddersfield Contemporary Music Festival, and Hay Festival.
Internationally, Riot appeared in Spain (MIXTUR and the Canary Islands), Iceland (Dark Music Days), Germany (Weit Weingarten), and Holland (Gaudeamus).
In Germany, Riot performed a portrait concert of Hilda Paredes, built on the back of their World Premiere of her work The Hearing Trumpet, especially commissioned for the group by Wigmore Hall. The Weit Weingarten performance featured the German premiere of Señales, a violin concerto for the world-renowned Irvine Arditti, who joined the ensemble as soloist for this extraordinary work. All other international festivals featured Riot Ensemble’s classic commitment to young and emerging voices, including MIXTUR student composers who featured alongside professional colleagues on the ensemble’s mainstage concert (Riot additionally gave workshop performances and 1-1 instrumental lessons as the festival) and further work by Rubens Askenar alongside Clara Iannotta and 2025 Call-for-Scores winner Golnaz Shariatzadeh.
These projects saw Riot perform seven concerts to international audiences of more than 5,000. Subsequent radio broadcasts reached across these countries to audiences numbering in the hundreds-of-thousands.
## **Financial Review**
## **Financial Position**
During the year the charity was in receipt of income totalling £207,204 (2024 - £171,084), of which £53,682 (2024 - £29,419) were donations and grants received. Expenditure incurred totalled £243,703 (2024 - £150,650) relating to charitable activities and raising funds. Reserves remaining at the of the financial period were £27,296 (2024 - £63,795).
It is the goal of the charity that unrestricted funds which have not been designated for a specific use should be maintained at a level equivalent to between three and six months' overheads. The trustees consider that reserves at this level will ensure that, in the event of a significant drop in funding, they will be able to continue the charity’s current activities while consideration is given to ways in which additional funds may be raised.
While this is a strong ambition of the ensemble for future, the current financial position does not reflect this ambition. In the short term, the Ensemble’s goals are to establish core, multi-year funding that allows the appointment of a general manager to work alongside the artistic team to stabilize and establish this funding. The current goal is to appoint this general manager by the end of calendar year ’26, and to build up reserves, year-on-year, toward 2028.

## **Financial Position - continued**
In the meantime, the trustees have assessed the major risks to which the charity is exposed and are satisfied that systems are in place to mitigate exposure to the major risks. Accordingly, the trustees consider that the charity has sufficient resources to enable it to remain in business as a going concern for the foreseeable future.
## **Structure, Governance and Management**
## **Governing Document**
The charity is constituted as a charitable company limited by guarantee and is governed by its Articles of Association.
The trustees, who are also the directors for the purpose of company law, and who served during the year and up to the date of signature of the financial statements were:
Peter David Spencer King (Chair) Emma-Jane Azkoul (Treasurer)
Sally Groves MBE Andrew Kurowski
Daniel Lewis
The original chair of Riot Ensemble, Judith Serota, was recruited personally by the Artistic Director, Aaron Holloway-Nahum. After this point, other trustees were recruited and appointed by the trustees.
None of the trustees has any beneficial interest in the charity.
The charity's current policy concerning the payment of trade creditors is to follow the CBI's Prompt Payers Code (copies are available from the CBI, Centre Point, 103 New Oxford Street, London WC1A 1DU).
The charity's current policy concerning the payment of trade creditors is to:
- settle the terms of payment with suppliers when agreeing the terms of each transaction;
- ensure that suppliers are made aware of the terms of payment by inclusion of the relevant terms in contracts; and
- pay in accordance with the charity's contractual and other legal obligations.
The Trustees' report was approved by the Board of Trustees.
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out in note 1 to the financial statements and comply with the charity's constitution, the Companies Act 2006 and "Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standards applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019)".
## **Statement of Trustees' Responsibilities**
The trustees (who are also the directors of The Riot Ensemble Ltd. for the purposes of company law) are responsible for preparing the Trustees' Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
Company law requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year. Under company law the trustees must not approve the financial statement unless they are satisfied that they give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charitable company and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including the income and expenditure, of the charitable company for that period. In preparing the financial statements the trustees are required to:
- select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
- observe the methods and principles in the Charity SORP (FRS 102);
- make judgments and accounting estimates that are reasonable and prudent; and
- prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the company will continue in business.
The trustees are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at anytime the financial position of the charitable company and to enable them to ensure that the accounts comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
The trustees are responsible for the maintenance and integrity of the corporate and financial information included on the charitable company's website. Legislation in the United Kingdom governing the preparation and dissemination of financial statements may differ from legislation in other jurisdictions.
## **Small Company Rules**
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out in note 2 to the financial statements and comply with the charity's constitution, the Companies Act 2006 and "Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standards applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019)".

## **The Riot Ensemble Ltd. Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of The Riot Ensemble Ltd. For The Year Ended 30 April 2025**
I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Company for the year ended 30 April 2025.
## **Responsibilities and Basis of Report**
As the charity trustees of the Company (and also its directors for the purposes of company law), you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 (“the 2006 Act”).
Having satisfied myself that the accounts of the Company are not required to be audited under Part 16 of the 2006 Act and are eligible for independent examination, I report in respect of my examination of your charity’s accounts as carried out under section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 (‘the 2011 Act’). In carrying out my examination I have followed the Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5) (b) of the 2011 Act.
## **Independent Examiner's Statement**
I have completed my examination. I confirm that no matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe:
1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the Company as required by section 386 of the 2006 Act; or
2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or
3. the accounts do not comply with the accounting requirements of section 396 of the 2006 Act 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; or
4. the accounts have not been prepared in accordance with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice for accounting and reporting by charities applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102).
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.

Designated funds comprise unrestricted funds that have been set aside by the trustees for a specific purpose.
Restricted funds are to be used for specific purposes as laid down by the donor.
Further explanation of the nature and purpose of each fund is included in the notes to the financial statements.
## **2.3. Incoming Resources**
Income is 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.
## **2.4. Resources Expended**
## **Expenditure**
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.
## **Governance and support costs**
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.
Support costs include central functions and have been allocated to activity cost categories on a basis consistent with the use of resources, e.g. allocating property costs by floor areas, or per capita, staff costs by the time spent and other costs by their usage.
## **2.5. Cash and Cash Equivalents**
Cash and cash equivalents are basic financial assets and include cash in hand and deposits held at call with banks, other short-term highly liquid investments that mature in no more than three months from the date of acquisition and are readily convertible to a known amount of cash with insignificant risk of change in value, and bank overdrafts.
## **2.6. Taxation**
The charity is exempt from tax as all its income is charitable and applied for charitable purposes.
## **2.7. Debtors**
Debtors (including trade debtors and loans receivable) are measured on initial 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.
## **2.8. Liability recognition**
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.
The charity has creditors which are measured at settlement amounts less any trade discounts.
