|Review of the charity’s
financial position at the end
of the period|Para 1.21|The charity made a loss of £7,060. It holds
cash in the bank worth £3,279.
The loss was a result primarily of the choir’s
participation in the Cornwall Festival which
was expensive, both in terms of
participation and travel/accommodation
costs. The other significant increase in
operating costs came from the move to a
new rehearsal venue.
The Choir also spent a reasonable amount
in new choir clothing, signs/covers and
vocal coach fees (the benefit was received
in the previous financial year).|
