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|The choir has started again in earnest following
the disruption caused by the COVID-19
pandemic and associated lockdowns. The
trustees are happy with our progress in the
first full season since 2019-2020.
Rehearsals re-started in September 2021 and
this was followed by our first public
performance, a Christmas concert at
Lockington Church in December. Our first
concert in 4-part harmony was performed at
Hilton Methodist Church in March 2022. Both
the Lockington and Hilton concerts were very
well attended and received, and raised good
money for both hosts.
30thApril 2022 saw the choir’s annual concert,
which raised funds for the charity Aspire.
Despite an initial reduction in members during
COVID, this period has seen a return of a
number of members following the end of
lockdowns.| ## **Additional information (optional)** You may choose to include further statements where relevant about: Achievements against Para 1.41 objectives set |Performance of fundraising

financial position at the end
of the period|Para 1.21|The charity opened the relevant period with a
balance of £7,414.30 and closed with a balance
of £8,564.97.
This reflected an increase in income- partly
from an increase in concert bookings and
subscriptions from the less active year during
COVID.
There was also a reduction in expenditure by
allowing partner charities to collect money
themselves from tickets and donations at
concerts themselves rather than this being
made as a donation from charityfunds.| |Statement explaining the
policy for holding reserves
stating why they are held|Para 1.22|The charity does not have a specific reserves
policy; however the trustees aim to keep
sufficient monies in reserve in case our base
costs increase. Based on this year’s accounts,
we have sufficient reserves to run one full
concert season.| |Amount of reserves held|Para 1.22|£1,500| |Reasons for holding zero
reserves|Para 1.22|n/a| |Details of fund materially in
deficit|Para 1.24|Charity is not in deficit| |Explanation of any
uncertainties about the
charity continuing as a going
concern|Para 1.23|The demographics of the choir cause some
concern as the average age of members is high
(although not unusually so for a charity of this
nature), however with an aging population this
poses a long-term risk to the choir. Aside from
this, the trustees have no concerns that the
charitycan continue as agoingconcern.| ## **Additional information (optional)** You may choose to include further statements where relevant about: |**Additional information (optional)**
