## **Castleton Silver Band.** ## **Draft Trustees Report and Financial Statements for the year to 30 September 2024** The Trustees of Castleton Silver Band (the ‘Band’) submit their report and the financial statements of the Band for the year ended 30th September 2024. ## **Structure** The Band was registered as a Charitable Incorporated Organisation (CIO) on 15[th] March 2019. The charity number is 1182481. The trustees are Martin Capps, Phil Creswick (Chair), Emma Norling, John Whitfield (MD). All band members and parents of training band members are eligible to be members of the CIO. There are two bands – the senior and the training band. It has been exciting to watch trainees progress, some into the senior band. It is also excellent that many of the senior band attend training band rehearsals to support the trainees. All members have contributed to the success of the band. However mention should be made of the following: Leo Copley (Training Band leader and inspiration), Tess Lomas (Safeguarding officer), Martin Capps (i/c Instruments), Jane Priestley (bookings), Sue Creswick (Treasurer), Emma Norling (standardising music) and Amy Secker (uniforms). ## **Activities** The main events of the 15 months (financial year and the rest of 2024) included:, - Playing at series of village events including Castleton’s Palm Sunday parade, Bradwell’s coronation picnic, galas in Hope, Bradwell, Barlow and Eyam, well blessings in Hope, Bradwell, Bamford and Barlow, the Hope torchlight parade (where the band became a samba band!), the Castleton Garland and the Parwich St George’s parade. - The bands raised over £1,300 for Parkinsons Disease in a concert in Hope. - In a new initiative, the band held a joint “away day” in Loxley Hall playing new music under rge direction of Steve Sutton. - Christmas playing – Carols in Peak cavern, Bakewell Christmas market, Bamford Crib, Moorland House, Castleton Christmas Tree festival service. - The band welcomed new band members (both bands). However the band were saddened at the death of trombone player, arranger and all round encourager Alan Rimmington. ## **Financial Review** The net surplus for the year to 30[th] September 2024 was £1,139 (£3.818 deficit for the previous year). The results benefitted from the Co-op sponsorship. ## **Risk management** As a member of Brass Bands England, the Band benefits from advice and training to help the band better understand and guard against safeguarding issues. All members have received a copy of the policy and procedures; members who give lessons to the training band have had DBS checks. Other risks are covered by insurance and licenses. ## **Small company** This report has been prepared in accordance with the provisions applicable to small charities. ## ON BEHALF OF THE TRUSTEES John Whitfield 10 Mar 2025 ## **Castleton Silver Band Financial Statements to 30 September 2024** |**Category**
