|**Summary of the main**<br>**achievements of the charity**<br>**during the year**|**With the lifting of covid restrictions the Society has through additional**<br>**financial assistance actively encouraged its groups to resume the holding of**<br>**face-to-face events at which the cause of International Folk Dancing is actively**<br>**furthered.**<br>**The scheme to provide teachers to groups remains in place, and uptake is**<br>**growing.**<br>**Existing arrangements for general support for groups continue.**<br>**The recently introduced subsidy for the provision of live music for**<br>**international folk dancing is being well used.**<br>**Following the lifting of covid restrictions the Society reinstated on an**<br>**occasional basis a programme of dance/workshops with live music.

Where charges are made these are kept to the minimum necessary**<br>**to cover Society’s costs and enable the work to continue.**<br>**The Trustees actively pursue a policy of making available as widely as possible**<br>**information about the Society’s activities and opportunities to learn and**<br>**study International Folk Dance and Music, (finances, manpower and**<br>**circumstances permitting).**|

## **Note 15                             Additional Disclosures** 

**The following are significant matters which are not covered in other notes and need to be included to provide a proper understanding of the accounts.  If there is insufficient room here, please add a separate sheet.** 

**The SIFD has an administratively and financially autonomous Branch in the West Midlands. The Branch does not have charitable status.** 

**All the administrative work of the SIFD is carried out on a volunteer basis. The value of the work is not quantified or included in the Accounts or described in the Report.** 

**From time to time small guarantees are given, payable from the Legacy and Major Donations Fund, or from the Frank Flanagan Fund, to meet a loss, should it arise, on a group or member project which is considered to be in the SIFD's interests. The maximum amount is agreed before the undertaking is made.  Two guarantees were current at the beginning of the year 2024 but the events were financially successful and no guaranteee payment was required. A guarantee has been given for a current year event to be held in promotion of the Society's interests. Apart from this no other guarantees were made during the year or are outstanding at the year end.** 

**Costumes belonging to the Society are included in the Accounts at cost, but their value is considered to exceed this. The costumes are not depreciated**
