We also held a live music event featuring Kenny Fu a professional pianist attended by approximately 80 people. We were also engaged in planning: - a short tour featuring Yi Yang Chen from the USA, who was the winner of the 2018 Sussex International Piano Competition, for late May/June 2025 and - an additional educational event using a venue to which local schools would be invited. |

Achievements and Performance

|---|---|---|
| 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 | We ran our third live music event in collaboration with the arts initiative ‘Artsspaces’. Our audience was around 80, which was up from our other post-covid events. This is encouraging as far as the direction of travel on audience numbers despite the continuing effect of wider economic factors e.g., the increased cost of living. We offered the opportunity to a local, professional musician to be a guest interviewer at one of our live events. We continued to explore planning future live events and also educational work. |

Financial Review
| Review of the charity’s financial position at the end of the period |
Para 1.21 | Our live music event in November 2024 made a loss, but this was expected. However, audience numbers were up boosting income for the event thereby reducing the amount of the loss. We continue to enjoy the support of a donor who shares our aspirations for intimate and friendly music events in Worthing and who provided welcome funds to support our activities. |
