Achievements and Performance
| Summary of the main 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. |
Following an extremely successful inaugural year, the Band had the substance, focus and iden2ty to develop opera2ons and capabili2es. The disrup2ons of the Covi-19 pandemic did not fully disappear 2ll the second half of the year but, by then, experience and enthusiasm had enabled a number of playing and earning opportunies, including a return to tradi2onal band contes2ng. Performances gave beneft both to players and event supporters, fulflling personal enjoyment and recrea2on needs, besides large numbers comprising the audiences who obtained cultural enjoyment and enhanced well-being. Prepara2on for resumed event par2cipa2on exercised the Band's abili2es and infrastructure once again providing agreeable diversion from work and life pressures. Later in the year we were able to take our full part in the restored Whit Friday celebra2ons fundamental to our local heritage. It was a stage for the band and its new iden2ty, besides an opening for new and developing players to experience belonging. All this substan2ally contributed to the a<rac2on and development of new and improving learners. By the end of the year a sizeable group was in place and making admirable playing progress besides enjoying the atmosphere of the group. A<emp2ng to preserve and expand the engagement of this group and further recruits will be one of the Band's pleasant challenges. |

Primary objec2ve remained securing income sufcient to assure con2nuing viability. This was achieved by pitching aggregate membership fees to meet predictable essen2al outgoings.

The band learned a lot through its success in this area and will aim to con2nue with a stronger structure and focus. |
