## **Report of the trustees for the year ending 31[st] December 2023** 

## **Objectives and activities** 

The purposes of the CIO, as set out in its governing document, are to advance performing arts in Tring and the surrounding area, including but not limited to musical and theatrical projects. 

In planning our activities for the year we complied with our duty to give due regard to the Charity Commission’s guidance on public benefit. The focus of our activities at the start of the year was the editing, promotion and broadcast of _Music By The Fire_ , a series of online recitals designed to achieve our purposes during the restrictions of the first winter following the COVID-19 pandemic. Our postponed project _Infants_ continued to be a priority for the CIO in the light of the work that had already been put into planning and the money which had been raised for the project; whilst the continuing uncertainty around performance and the lack of availability of suitable venues made the full project inadvisable, other opportunities were sought to ensure that development continued, including an outdoor performance of a substantial section of the work. Finally, a Young Filmmakers’ Competition was designed and promoted over the summer. 

These projects met our objectives of advancing performing arts in the area by creating and promoting the rehearsal and performance of work by local artists, and by providing the public access to professional performances. 

## **Achievements and performance** 

The trustees have discussed a possible project using the format of _Music By The Fire_ for future development. However, there has been no activity this year. 

£201.42 of income remaining from _Infants_ in 2022 was moved from our Paypal account into the Tring Productions bank account. £3.58 was the Paypal fee deducted at source. 

The closing balance in the bank account at the end of the year was £1,436.46, with £171 held in cash.
