## _____________________________________________________________________ 

The trustees have pleasure in presenting their Annual Report and the financials for the year ended 31[st] of December 2020 

The financials comply with current statutory requirements, the governing document, and the Charities Act 2011. 

## **Aims and organisation** 

The CIO was established on 31 of January 2020. OperAffinity was set up to advance education in classical music opera to communities throughout the world that have little or no access to the arts. OperAffinity has developed various workshops, performances & events catered for varied age groups with emphasis, but not exclusively related to children aged 0 to 19 who come from disadvantaged backgrounds. The organisation uses working industry musicians who have a passion for the arts and education and making classical music & opera more accessible to the general public. The organisation ensures that all artists and performers that it engages have significant professional expertise and have a passion for and share the charity's aims. 

The trustees confirm that they have referred to the guidance contained in the Charity Commission’s general guidance on public benefit when reviewing the OperAffinity’s aims and objectives and in planning future activities. The decisions of the CIO are made by the trustees. The trustees have the authority to appoint replacement trustees. 

The focus of our Charity’s activities remains to promote, improve and advance education of the public with an emphasis on disadvantaged youths throughout the world in the art of music, and with a particular focus on opera and classical music. 

Our activities remain open to applications from individuals or organisations that in particular, but not exclusively, comply with the Trust activities as stated above.
