## Solem Projects Annual Report
The Trustees present their Annual Report and Accounts for the year ended 31 May 2021.
Objectives and activities; Achievements and performance
This year the charity continued to carry out its core purpose which is the advancement of classical chamber music, primarily through supporting live performances and educational activities. This includes the
stewardship of funds donated in support of the work of classical musicians, including but not limited to the Solem Quartet.
This year’s principal activities included workshops and live performance by the Solem Quartet.
The Trustees have had consideration of their duty to ensure public benefit throughout the year and when making decisions about how to use the charity’s funds and status. This includes consideration of the Charity Commission’s guidance on public benefit. They consider that the provision of classical music to the public at large, and the support given to a wide range of classical musicians this year during the pandemic, adequately fulfil the charity’s purposes as set out in its governing documents.
## Financial review
The charity was incorporated on 1 May 2020. Performance fees and other expenditures in the year totalled £10,612. These costs were met through donations, including gift aid, of £32,500, leaving
reserves of £21,888. The Trustees’ financial strategy is to largely spend down any funds held, recognising that the charity has no ongoing running costs or obligations for which to set aside reserves. The Trustees consider the charity to be a going concern.
Governance, reference details, etc.
The charity has three Trustees and employs no staff. Book-keeping is performed by Skillframe Ltd at no cost. The Trustees meet from time to time to discuss planned activities. The company number, address and charity registration number are set out elsewhere in these accounts. The charity does not hold funds as a custodian trustee for any third parties.
Future plans
The Trustees plan to continue with similar activities to those outlined above in the forthcoming year.
