## **Annual Report 2020** **Registered Charity Name:** The Trust for Sing for Pleasure **Charity Registration Number:** 270384 **Principal Office: c/o** Bolton Music Service Meer Hall, Meerhall Street Bolton BL1 2QT ## **Trustees:** Miles Wallis-Clarke (Chair) Sarah Tenant-Flowers Lynda Parker Katharine Pinfold David Jones Catherine Beddison ## **Accountant:** Ian Hampson ## **Management Team:** Manvinder Rattan Chief Executive and Head of Conductor Training Nick Graham Head of Finance and Operations Ula Weber Head of Events Don Gillthorpe Head of Publications Katy Cooper Head of Marketing The Board of Trustees had only one change in 2020: - Jane Hampson was re-elected as a Trustee The Management Team also had some changes in 2019: Katy Cooper became Head of Marketing 2020 was dominated by the global pandemic. The Board met in person once during the year in January during the biannual staff and Trustees conference in Lancaster. As the pandemic restricted meeting in person Zoom meetings were held on four occasions. These were largely focused on the pandemic and it’s impact on Sing for Pleasure: - Courses including the Summer School were cancelled - this was ongoing throughout the year as the situation was unpredictable and there was always hope that events would be able to run in the future. - Plans for the launching of the new website - Plans for the webinar series that ran online during lockdown - Plans for the online Summer School ## **Aims of Sing for Pleasure** Sing for Pleasure is a charity that aims to encourage people of all ages to enjoy singing and conducting. It delivers programmes, events and publications that develop choral and musicianship skills aimed specifically at singers, conductors and teachers. The comprehensive programme of activity for 2019 is covered in the Management Team report. ## **Principal Funding Sources** Membership fees and income from events and publications provide income to the charity. The charity continues to receive support from the John Lewis Partnership to support bursaries for those working with primary aged children, participating in vocal leadership and conducting courses, and children’s singing courses. Donations from other organisations, trusts and individuals support the Young Conducting Scholarship programme. ## **Investment and Reserves Policy** The charity has a small amount invested in a Charity Equity Fund which increased in value in 2019. The Trustees ensure that the reserves of the charity are sufficient to cover the cost of its major event the annual Summer School. ## **Links with A Coeur Joie** Links with A Coeur Joie Internationale continue.
