						When planning our activities for the year, the trustees have had due
						regard to the importance ofthe Charity Commission's guidance on public
						benefit at our Trustee meetings.
						The main activities are as follows:
						Detailed activities
						Our fundraising opportunities have been curtailed throughout this year.
						However, approaching Christmas, members expressed a wish to 'spread
						some Christmas cheer' ifsafe and practicable, acknowledging that fund-
						raising opportunities would be limited, and player numbers restricted to
						small socially distanced groups.
						The Committee approached Sutton Harbour Holdings —owners ofthe
						Plymouth Barbican Area with whom we have established a good working
						relationship through outdoor events in Summer 2019 —and were able to
						negotiate two outdoor socially-distanced carolling sessions in December
						2020.
						The Committee also approached Plymouth City Council and were
						permitted to perform in Plymouth City Centre on one evening and one

benefit)
						These opportunities demonstrate the ability ofSoundhouse Brass,
						despite the restrictions ofthe pandemic this year, to engage with the
						community and to forge relationships with organisations we hope to be
						able to work with in the future. They were also very positively welcomed
						by band members as an opportunity to enjoy the valued experience of
						playing carols together, plus the appreciative response ofmembers ofthe
						public made braving the cold, wind, and rain worthwhile.
						As we head towards the Christmas 2021 period, plans are in place to
						extend the carolling to the public at a variety ofsupermarkets in the
						Plymouth area, whilst still remaining Covid-19 safe.
						Due to Covid-19 restrictions, the Annual Christmas Concert in December
						2020 was unable to go ahead. For December 2021, this is planned for 4~
						December.
						During the summer months, the senior band was again able to perform
						music on the Plymouth barbican. One ofthe evenings raised funds that
						were provided to the tragic shooting that took place in the Keyham area
						of Plymouth.
						September 2021 also saw the re-formation ofthe Academy band under
						the leadership ofthe newly appointed Musical Director, Adam Glynn.
