## Bingley Amateur Operatic Society Year ending 31 May 2025 Charity number 1189166 Report of the trustees for the year ending 31 May 2025 The trustees are pleased to present their annual report for the year ending 31 May 2025 which are also prepared to meet the requirements for a trustees’ report for Charities Commission purposes. ## Chair’s report In 2024/25 we were able to mount our most successful pantomime production in the year, Cinderella, as well as a well received musical production of Rock of Ages. The year was also notable for marking the end of expenditure on our long-planned roof restoration plus essential maintenance work on windows and toilets. ## Our purposes and activities The purposes of the charity are: to educate the public in the dramatic and operatic arts, and to further the development of public appreciation and taste in the said arts. To assist and further such charitable institutions and charitable purposes as the committee may from time to time determine. The trustees have considered the Charity Commission’s guidance on public benefit, including the guidance on public benefit and fee charging. The theatre relies on the income from its shows to cover its operating costs. In setting the level of ticket prices and concessions, the trustees give careful consideration to the accessibility of the theatre for those on low incomes. The strategies employed to achieve the charity’s aims and objectives are to: prepare and run theatre productions including musicals and pantomimes for the enjoyment and education of our local community; offer opportunities for a broad range of people to get involved in arts activity developing their own creative powers; concentrate on involving young people in our shows to help encourage a culture in which different age ranges play a complementary part; The trustees and officers serving during the year and since the year end were as follows: Chris Woodhead elected chair: Elected trustees: Emma Waring : Secretary Ian Knight : Treasurer David Elliott Sharron Elliott Jeff Peacock Rebecca Matthews Alison Boardman Margaret Tetley Organisation The board of trustees, which can have up to 12 members, administers the charity. The board meets monthly Related parties None of our trustees receive remuneration or other benefit from their work with the charity. ## **BINGLEY AMATEUR OPERATIC SOCIETY** ## **BALANCE SHEET AS AT THE YEAR ENDED MAY 31st 2025** **----- Start of picture text -----**
