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 2021 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. During 2021 Sing for Pleasure worked with Marla Cunningham from Esmy Fundraising to develop a strategy for fundraising and to make funding applications. ## **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.

Hence there is no cost shown in expenses this year. - **2** There is an decrease in the surplus for the year - £4,739 (2021 - £15,599) - There is UNDERSTANDABLY an increase in SFP turnover in the year - £93,997 (2020 - £68,647) - Investment valuation surplus - £3,852 (2020 - loss £2,905) n.B. reduction in value since year end £1,521 ( @ 13/07/22) - **3** Publications margin has decreased dramatically - this is believed to be as a result of inaccurate stock figures in the past. In addition the shop income this year is stated net of credit card fees which will have reduced the gross profit percentage. ## **NOTE The stock figure at 31/12/2020 was ESTIMATED** ## Previous years figures are : |**4**
