classical music, in Greater Manchester and the surrounding areas for the
public benefit by educating the public and growing public understanding
and appreciation of classical music through the delivery of live events,
performances and lectures.| |---|---| ||The trust presented twelve concerts in the year under review, seven at
Emmanuel Didsbury in the Beethoven Plus series and a further five to
other groups and concert societies in the North West and Midlands.
Further events have been delivered since the year end and continue to
be planned in the Beethoven Plus series of education concerts.
The Trustees confirm that in devising these programmes consideration
has been given to the guidance issued by the Charity Commission on
public benefit, with the intention to widen these activities when
circumstances allow.
With this further development in mind, the aim of the Trust is to build up
an operating fund so that when the opportunity arises the Ensemble is in
a position to act quickly. To attract more Friends will help in this objective
and reinforce the loyal support already in place in the audience.| ## Section D Achievements and performance The covid pandemic has had the unfortunate effect, not foreseeable at **Summary of the main** the time of establishing the Trust, of preventing many of the kind of **achievements of the charity** educational and communities activities envisaged because venues such **during the year** as schools and care homes have been rendered inaccessible on health grounds.
