## **Trustees’ Annual Report for the period**
# **From 01/01/2022 Period start date To 31/12/2022 Period end date**
**Charity name: Holborn Community Orchestra**
## **Charity registration number: 1181766**
## **Objectives and Activities**
||SORP reference||
|---|---|---|
|Summary of the purposes of
the charity as set out in its
governing document|Para 1.17|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|
|Summary of the main activities
in relation to those purposes for
the public benefit, in particular,
the activities, projects or
services identified in the
accounts.|Para 1.17 and 1.19|The Holborn Community Orchestra is dedicated
to organising accessible events, and building a
community around love for music. All profits are
re-invested in the orchestra, to improve and
increase the opportunities for people to come
together and play.
Our musicians are of a range of backgrounds
and levels, with ages ranging from 20s to 60s
and diverse tastes in genres. We build on this
diversity to form an open-minded, collaborative
and inspiring amateur orchestra, which supports
everyone of us in fulfilling their creative
potential.
Our events are designed to be accessible and
affordable to most, and we welcome audiences
of all ages and backgrounds to our
performances.|
|Statement confirming whether
the trustees have had regard to
the guidance issued by the
Charity Commission on public
benefit|Para 1.18|The Holborn Community Orchestra is run by five
trustees who are dedicated to help the charity
deliver on its public benefit purpose. We are
constantly looking for new ways of reaching out
to new musicians and audiences to grow our
community further, and of keeping our costs low
to remain affordable to members and concert
attendees.|

## **Achievements and Performance**
||SORP reference||
|---|---|---|
|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|In 2022, HCO performed in front of a record
number of audience members (800+) and
ended the year with a record number of
members attending weekly rehearsals (42).
The orchestra was able to increase its
conductor’s fees in line with inflation, which
helps a professional musician weather the
on-going economic uncertainties, however
we did not find a suitable rehearsal venue
for our new numbers, and we’ll be tackling
this as a priority issue in 2023.|

## **Financial Review**
|**Financial Review**|||
|---|---|---|
|Review of the charity’s
financial position at the end
of the period|Para 1.21|A record profit was made in 2022 (£1,203),
which increased the charity’s reserves to
£2,575. This is a great financial position to be
in as we’re planning to expand to a larger a
rehearsal venue, and we’re also keen to start
looking at opportunities to give back to the
community.|
|Statement explaining the
policy for holding reserves
stating why they are held|Para 1.22|Every term, the profit or loss of the orchestra is
disclosed to the trustees for visibility, and at
every AGM, the previous year’s final result is
shared with the members alongside a proposal
from the trustees for how profits are suggested
to be invested / losses to be funded. We aim to
hold at least 2 terms’ worth of cash burn to
ensure our sustainability should one of our key
suppliers fail us (rehearsal venue or conductor)
or should income stop coming in for reasons
out of our control (covid scenario). Anything on
top of this minimum could be held for a specific
reason (ambitious programming or audience
targets, investment in equipment, etc.)|
|Amount of reserves held|Para 1.22|At the end of 2022, £2,575 was held in
reserves - this is more than our 2x cash burn
as we’re getting ready to hire a larger rehearsal
venue.|

reserves|Para 1.22|Not relevant|
