Our objectives and activities This report looks at what the charity has achieved and the outcomes of its work in the reporting period. The trustees report the success of each key activity and the benefits the charity has brought to those groups of people that it IS set up to help. The review also helps the trustees ensure the charity's aims, objectives and activities remained focused on its stated purposes. To advance the public education, appreciation and understanding of the arts, in particular, but not exclusively the art of opera in all aspects, by the development, production and presentation of public operatic performances and educational workshops This is achieved by presenting, promoting, organizing, providing, managing or produclng opera's, concerts, musical pieces, entertainments, exhibitions, tutorials, seminars, courses and workshops in a wide range of locatlOn5. The trustees believe that the promotion and fostering of an appreciation of the arts can only truly expand horizons if it is both accessible and of the highest artistic integrity and standard. In shaping our activities for the year. the trustees have considered the Charity Commission's guidance on public benefit, including the guidance on public benefit and fee charging. In particular, the trustees consider how planned activities will contribute to the aims and objectives that have been set. The strategies employed to achieve the charity's purpose thus combine artistic and broader social objectives with a requirement to establish financial sustainability. Financial Information An income of £10,000 from the Genesis Foundation's "Kickstarter" Fund, with project outgoings of £4,831 leaving £5,251.41 to be carried forward. Reserves Policy The trustees are of the view that reserves are needed to bridge the gap between the spending and receiving of resources, to fund the development of future productions and respond to ongoing request5 for workshop programmes for schools and community programmes based on previous productions. Financial sustainability for an innovative company means having reserves to fund this important development activity. The lack of adequate reserves gives rise to a challenging backdrop to our ability to develop both our productions, our community activities and our objective of widening the er)gagement of new audiences in opera. The trustees will set a target to 2chieve an appropriate level of financial reservelongoing funding in the next financial year.
