In planning our activities for the year we kept in mind the Charity Commission’s guidance on public benefit at our committee meetings. The focus of our activities continues to be the provision of live orchestral and choral performances for attendance by members of the public; and regular rehearsals at which members of the society continue to learn about and practise the music to be performed. The orchestra welcomes new players, although membership may be subject to audition and vacancies. The chorus also welcomes new singers and is open to all keen singers without audition.

Summary of the main activities undertaken for the public benefit in relation to these objects (include within this section the statutory declaration that trustees have had regard to the guidance issued by the Charity Commission on public benefit)
