**Governing Document:** 

Ripon Choral Society Constitution 

## **Recruitment of Trustees:** 

The society has a formal policy for the recruitment and rotation of trustees which forms section 36 of the constitution. 

## **Objects & Public Benefit of Ripon Choral Society :** 

The objects of the CIO are, for the public benefit, to educate the public in the art and science of choral music and to promote, develop, and maintain appreciation of choral music in all its aspects by the presentation of public concerts, and by such other ways as the CIO through its committee shall determine from time to time. 

## **Activities and Achievements:** 

The society restarted concerts in November 2021 after the Coronavirus pandemic. We received some very generous donations, particularly towards the Verdi Requiem, which was our first concert back. Attendance and membership has varied during the year, with some members understandably expressing concern about singing again in large groups. Musical performance through the four concerts has been very satisfactory with our high standards being maintained, albeit with a smaller choir on occasions. Unfortunately the audiences have been quite low on occasions and that meant a significant loss for the year.Obviously this kind of loss cannot continue and steps are being taken to reduce the deficit in 2022/23. Increasing audiences is one of the objectives and is the responsibility of all members. Nevertheless our reserves are still healthy and we are hopeful to maintain and deliver our objectives with our future programme. 

## **Declaration** 

The Trustees have approved the Trustees' Report above.

## **Independent Examiner's Report to the** 

## **Trustees of Ripon Choral Society** 

I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the charity for the year ended 31 July 2022 set out on pages three to five. 

## **Responsibilities and Basis of Report** 

As the charity’s trustees you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 (‘the Act’). 

I report in respect of my examination of the charity’s accounts carried out under section 145 of the Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed all the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission unde section 145(5)(b) of the Act. 

I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect: 

1.      accounting records were not kept in respect of the charity as required by section 130 of the Act; or 

2.      the accounts do not accord with those records; or 

3.      the accounts do not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 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. 

I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attentio should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
