The Charles Hallé Foundation

TRUSTEES’ REPORT

The Trustees present their annual report and the audited financial statements for the year ended 5 April 2023.

Reference and administrative details

The Charles Hallé Foundation (‘the Foundation’) is a registered charity, number 236149, governed by a trust deed dated 23 December 1965 and subsequently amended. The details of the Trustees, their advisers and other relevant information given on page 1 forms part of this report.

Structure, governance and management

The governing body is the Board of Trustees whose members are non-executive and unpaid. The Trustees are appointed by the Board of the Hallé Concerts Society (‘the Society’). The Trustees delegate the day to day management and administration of the Foundation’s affairs to the Executive of the Hallé Concerts Society. The Hallé Concerts Society ensures that appropriate induction and training is given to all Trustees.

Objectives and activities of the Foundation

The Foundation was established as the Hallé Trust Fund on the occasion of the 21st anniversary of the association of Sir John Barbirolli with the Hallé Concerts Society, to administer a fund to further charitable purposes connected with music and in particular to assist the Society in undertaking activities for which it would not otherwise have the funding, and in particular the financing of foreign tours by the Hallé Orchestra, the creation of opportunities for and encouragement of young British artists and composers and the provision of special concerts for young people to awaken their interest in music. During the 1994/95 financial year the Trust changed its name to The Charles Hallé Foundation.

The Foundation is the focus of individual philanthropic support for the Hallé Concerts Society. The principal objective for the year was to raise funding in support of the Hallé’s educational and other work.

Public benefit

The Trustees have considered the Charity Commission’s guidance on public benefit and they believe that the support provided to the Hallé Concerts Society allows the objectives above to benefit a wide section of the public. The Hallé’s education and outreach programme reaches over 50,000 children and young people annually. Membership of the Hallé’s youth and children’s ensembles is free. A full review of the Hallé’s outreach work is given in its own statutory accounts and further details are available on the Hallé website: www.halle.co.uk.

Achievements, performance and financial review

During the year to 5 April 2023 the Foundation received income of £366,749 (2022: £301,557).

The Trustees gratefully acknowledge all the gifts, donations and legacies which have been generously given to the Foundation during the year. Some of these gifts are in support of specific educational or other activities and funds are released to the Society as activities take place.

The Foundation has made a contribution to the Hallé Concerts Society of £257,600 (2022: £300,000) in support of its educational and other work.

Net income of £97,298 (2022: net expenditure of £7,767) and the fund balance brought forward of £12,326 give total fund balances to carry forward of £109,624.

Fundraising Practices

The majority of the Foundation’s fundraising is targeted at individuals who already have a relationship with the Orchestra, such as regular audience members. There is very little fundraising from the wider general public. The Foundation’s fundraising strategy is overseen by its Board of Trustees and all its fundraising activity is conducted in line with the Fundraising Regulator Code of Fundraising Practice. The implementation of the fundraising strategy is mainly delivered by an in-house fundraising team with support from a professional fundraiser on bids to charitable trusts and foundations. This person does not carry out fundraising with the general public.

The Charles Hallé Foundation

TRUSTEES’ REPORT (continued)

Investment policy

There are no restrictions on the Trustees’ powers to invest.

Reserves policy

The Trustees believe that the Foundation should hold financial reserves at a level which responds to the needs of the Society. The level of the Foundation’s reserves is reviewed annually in line with the Society’s plans. The Trustees consider that a target reserves level of £10,000 is sufficient as the Foundation continues to receive donations on a regular basis and, other than grant payments to the Hallé Concerts Society, expenses are incurred solely in the costs of raising those donations.

Free reserves at 5 April 2023 are £109,623 (2022: £12,326). The current level is reasonable given the target level of £10,000 and that reserves include £100,000 in respect of accrued income for a legacy notified and not yet received in cash.

Risk management

A risk management strategy has been implemented for the Hallé Concerts Society Group, of which the Charles Hallé Foundation is part. A more detailed review is contained within the accounts of the Hallé Concerts Society, which performed the last annual risk review in July 2023.

Plans for future periods

The Trustees will continue their efforts to raise income to support the activities of the Hallé Concerts Society.

Statement of Trustees' responsibilities in respect of the Trustees’ annual report and financial statements Under the trust deed of the charity and charity law, the Trustees are responsible for preparing the Trustees' Annual Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and regulations. The Trustees have elected to prepare the financial statements in accordance with FRS 102 the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland.

The financial statements are required by law to give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and of the excess of income over expenditure for the year.

In preparing these financial statements, generally accepted accounting practice entails that the Trustees:

The Trustees are required to act in accordance with the trust deed of the charity, within the framework of trust law. They are responsible for keeping proper accounting records, sufficient to disclose at any time, with reasonable accuracy, the financial position of the charity at that time, and to enable the Trustees to ensure that, where any statements of accounts are prepared by them under section 132(1) of the Charities Act 2011, those statements of accounts comply with the requirements of regulations under that provision. They have general responsibility for taking such steps as are reasonably open to them to safeguard the assets of the charity and to prevent and detect fraud and other irregularities.

Independent Auditor’s Report to the Trustees of The Charles Hallé Foundation

Opinion

We have audited the financial statements of The Charles Hallé Foundation (‘the charity’) for the year ended 5 April 2023 which comprise the Statement of financial activities, the Balance sheet, the Statement of cash flows and the related notes, including a summary of significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards, including Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland' (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).

In our opinion the financial statements:

Basis for opinion

We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the Charity in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the United Kingdom, including the Financial Reporting Council's Ethical Standard, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Conclusions relating to going concern

In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the Trustees' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate.

Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the charity's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.

Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the Trustees with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report.

Other information

The other information comprises the information included in the Annual report other than the financial statements and our Auditor's report thereon. The Trustees are responsible for the other information contained within the Annual report. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon. Our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the course of the audit, or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether this gives rise to a material misstatement in the financial statements themselves. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact.

P a g e  | 6

Independent Auditor’s Report to the Trustees of The Charles Hallé Foundation (cont’d)

Opinion on other matters

In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of the audit:

Matters on which we are required to report by exception

In the light of our knowledge and understanding of the Charity and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the Trustees' report.

We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which Charities Act 2011 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:

Responsibilities of trustees

As explained more fully in the Trustees' responsibilities statement, the Trustees are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for such internal control as the Trustees determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the financial statements, the Trustees are responsible for assessing the Charity's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the Trustees either intend to liquidate the Charity or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.

Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an Auditor's report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.

Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design procedures in line with our responsibilities, outlined above, to detect material misstatements in respect of irregularities, including fraud. The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud, is detailed below:

We identified and assessed the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements from irregularities, whether due to fraud or error, and discussed these between our audit team members. We then designed and performed audit procedures responsive to those risks, including obtaining audit evidence sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

P a g e  | 7

Independent Auditor’s Report to the Trustees of The Charles Hallé Foundation (cont’d)

We obtained an understanding of the legal and regulatory frameworks within which the charity operates, focusing on those laws and regulations that have a direct effect on the determination of material amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The laws and regulations we considered in this context were the Charities Act 2011.

Auditing standards limit the required audit procedures to identify non-compliance with these laws and regulations to enquiry of the Trustees and other management and inspection of regulatory and legal correspondence, if any.

We identified the greatest risk of material impact on the financial statements from irregularities, including fraud, to be the override of controls by management and completeness of income. Our audit procedures to respond to these risks included enquiries of management about their own identification and assessment of the risks of irregularities, sample testing on the posting of journals and reviewing accounting estimates for biases. Our audit approach for income was to being our testing from source documentation such as grant agreements and donation documentation.

Owing to the inherent limitations of an audit, there is an unavoidable risk that we may not have detected some material misstatements in the financial statements, even though we have properly planned and performed our audit in accordance with auditing standards. We are not responsible for preventing non-compliance and cannot be expected to detect non-compliance with all laws and regulations.

A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the Financial Reporting Council's website at: www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our Auditor's report.

Use of our report

This report is made solely to the Charity's trustees, as a body, in accordance with Charities Act 2011. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the Charity's trustees those matters we are required to state to them in an Auditor's report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the Charity and its trustees, as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

NOTES

(forming part of the financial statements)

1 Accounting policies

The following accounting policies have been applied consistently in dealing with items which are considered material in relation to the Foundation’s accounts.

Basis of preparation

Basis of preparation of financial statements

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102) Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Charities Act 2011 and the Trust Deed.

The Foundation constitutes a public benefit entity as defined by FRS 102.

Cash flow statement

The charity is exempt from the requirement to prepare a cash flow statement as it is a qualifying entity under FRS 102 The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland.

Income recognition

Income from events is included in incoming resources in the period in which the relevant event takes place.

Patrons’ scheme and chair endowment donations are in many cases received for periods of more than one year. Under the terms of the Trust Deed such donations are treated as deferred income.

Income from events taking place after the year end is deferred.

All other income is recognised when the charity is legally entitled to the income and the amount can be quantified with reasonable accuracy. For legacies, entitlement is the earlier of the charity being notified of an impending distribution, the grant of probate where known or the legacy being received. Receipt of a legacy, in whole or in part, is only considered probable when the amount can be measured reliably and the charity has been notified of the executor’s intention to make a distribution.

Gifts in kind are included in income when they are receivable. Gifts of shares are held at market value but not recognised as a realised gain until disposed of or when they are transferred.

Expenditure

All expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis. Costs for future events are deferred until the period in which the relevant event takes place. Certain expenditure is directly attributable to specific activities and has been included in those cost categories.

Investments

There are no restrictions on the trust’s powers to invest and the Trustees have not adopted an ethical investment policy. Investments are included at market value at the balance sheet date. The Statement of Financial Activities includes the net gains and losses arising on revaluations and disposals throughout the year.

P a g e  | 11

The Charles Hallé Foundation

NOTES (continued)

1 Accounting policies (continued)

Funds

Unrestricted income and capital funds are available for use at the discretion of the Trustees in the furtherance of the general objectives of the charity and which have not been designated for other purposes. The capital funds represent amounts received as a result of appeals for subscriptions, donations and bequests. The income fund represents income arising from that capital.

Restricted funds are funds which are to be used in accordance with specific restrictions imposed by donors or which have been raised by the charity for particular purposes. The costs of raising and administering such funds are charged against the specific fund. The purpose of each restricted fund is set out in note 11.

Preparation of accounts on a going concern basis

Taking into account the position on free reserves (as explained in the Trustees’ report on page 3), the current cash balances and forecast income and expenditure flows, the Trustees have a reasonable expectation that the Foundation has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future, also taking into account the specific additional risks to income arising from Covid19. The Trustees therefore consider the going concern basis to be appropriate for the preparation of these financial statements.

Accounting estimates and judgements

In the application of the Foundation’s accounting policies, which are described above, the Trustees are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions concerning the future. The resulting estimates will, by definition, seldom equal the related actual results. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. The Trustees consider that there are no estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year.

Taxation

The Charles Hallé Foundation is considered to pass the tests set out in Paragraph 1 Schedule 6 Finance Act 2010 and therefore it meets the definition of a charitable trust for UK income tax purposes. Accordingly the charity is potentially exempt from taxation in respect of income or capital gains received within categories covered by Part 10 Income Tax Act 2007 or Section 256 of the Taxation of Chargeable Gains Act 1992, to the extent that such income or gains are applied exclusively to charitable purposes. For 2017 the charity is exempt and there is no tax charge for the year.
