In this period, we have furthered this aim by
-
a) Dona�ng £3000 to Derby & Burton Hospitals Charity, earmarked for the Kings Lodge Neurological Rehabilita�on Unit,
-
b) Dona�ng £500 to Derby & Burton Hospitals Charity, earmarked for the “Art In Hospital” project,

-
d) Raising £1000 for dona�on to Derby’s Same Day Emergency Care Unit (via Derby & Burton Hospitals Charity), to be donated in the following period.
These funds were raised by producing two Christmas Concerts, one in December 2023 and one in December 2024. As shown in the accounts, money was raised through concert-�cket sales, raffle �cket sales and dona�ons (including gi� aid where possible). The selec�on of beneficiaries was made in accordance with our Grant Making Policy.

a result of charity rules for the first repor�ng period since charitable status granted); this period starts on the date the choir became a registered charity (25 September 2023) and ends on 28 February 2025.

Accordingly, Income and Expenditure are approximately double what would be seen in an annual report covering a 12-month period of the choir.

Liabilities are recognised as expenditure as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to that expenditure, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all cost related to the category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources.
Taxation
The charity is exempt from corporation tax on its charitable activities.
Fund accounting
Unrestricted funds can be used in accordance with the charitable objectives at the discretion of the trustees.
Restricted funds can only be used for particular restricted purposes within the objects of the charity. Restrictions arise when specified by the donor or when funds are raised for particular restricted purposes.
Further explanation of the nature and purpose of each fund is included in the notes to the financial statements.
Hire purchase and leasing commitments
