Trustees’ Annual Report for the period

From 01 August 2021 To 31 July 2022 Charity name: The Royal Tunbridge Wells Choral Society

Charity registration number: 273310

Objectives and Activities

	SORP reference
Summary of the purposes of the charity as set out in its governing document	Para 1.17	To educate the public in the art and science of music and in particular the art of choral singing, by the presentation of public concerts and in such other ways as the Society shall determine from time to time by the decision of its Committee.
Summary of the main activities in relation to those purposes for the public benefit, in particular, the activities, projects or services identified in the accounts.	Para 1.17 and 1.19	Following the Covid suspension of activities in 2020, the Society returned to more normal operating conditions in September with the resumption of face to face rehearsals. Strict Covid protocols were nonetheless observed at rehearsals with special attention paid to ventilation, social distancing and personal responsibility in not attending if feeling at all under the weather. The Society gave four concerts during the reporting period:- “Simply Schubert” at the Assembly Hall Theatre in November, “A Very British Christmas” at St Mary’s, Goudhurst in December, Verdi’s Requiem at the AHT in April ’22 and a summer concert of works by Living Composers at St John’s, TW in July. Due to continued Covid precautions at nursing homes, we did not conduct any Carol Singing visits this year. .
Statement confirming whether the trustees have had regard to the guidance issued by the Charity Commission on public benefit	Para 1.18	Membership of the Society is open to anyone who is able to attend the weekly term time rehearsals. A membership subscription is payable with concessions made from time to time for those who may not be able to pay the full fee.

Achievements and Performance

	SORP reference
Summary of the main achievements of the charity, identifying the difference the charity’s work has made to the circumstances of its beneficiaries and any wider benefits to society as a whole.	Para 1.20	The return to live music making was a joy and uplifting to both choir members and our audiences. Understandably initial attendance numbers were down compared to pre-pandemic levels and the ventilation regime made singing a rather chilly business but we soon settled into the new routine. We are indebted to our conductor, Robyn Sevastos and accompanist Craig Hudson for their support, expertise, enthusiasm and musical leadership. The four concerts staged during the season were well received by an increasing audience.

Additional information (optional) You may choose to include further statements where relevant about:

	Achievements against objectives set	Para 1.41


Performance of fundraising activities against objectives set	Para 1.41	No specific fundraising activities were undertaken during the reporting period, in line with our conservative approach to the resumption of activities post Covid.
Investment performance against objectives	Para 1.41
Other

Financial Review

Review of the charity’s financial position at the end of the period	Para 1.21	The Society's financial position at year end is healthy. We had built up an appropriate buffer of reserve funds which ensured we could resume activities without undue worry. Although reduced from previous years, the Society's core membership is nonetheless stable and we were able to welcome many new members as the season progressed.
Statement explaining the policy for holding reserves stating why they are held	Para 1.22	The Society has never aimed to make a surplus from its activities but retains cash reserves in the interests of prudence. For instance, the Society has always recognised the financial risk of a series of poorly attended concerts. This philosophy means we have been extremely fortunate to avoid financial difficulties and were well positioned to resume full operations once all restrictions lifted.
Amount of reserves held	Para 1.22	£44,923
Reasons for holding zero reserves	Para 1.22
Details of fund materially in deficit	Para 1.24
Explanation of any uncertainties about the charity continuing as a going concern	Para 1.23

The charity’s principal sources of funds (including any fundraising)	Para 1.47	The Society has significant expenses in the provision of rehearsal venues, concert halls, music hire, professional soloists and instrumentalists for concerts and publicity. Our income derives from members' subscriptions, patrons' contribution, concert ticket sales, donations, legacies, occasional sponsorship and advertising. Although not conducted this year, due to Covid concerns, Members are also prepared to raise valuable income from raffles and fund-raising events. Such expenditure is necessary if we are to put on the best possible performances in keeping with our object of entertaining and education the public and maintaining the tradition of high quality classical choral music in the local area. Not unsurprisingly, it has taken some time for attendance at rehearsals and concerts to return to our pre-Covid levels of close to a hundred singing members. At the start of

		the season we were down by more than a fifth but numbers increased gradually through the year and we enter the next season at full strength. All members pay a subscription (with concessions as detailed previously).

Trustee selection methods including details of any constitutional provisions e.g. election to post or name of any person or body entitled to appoint one or more trustees	Para 1.25	The Society is run by an elected Committee of Officers and ordinary members, all of whom are Trustees by virtue of their membership of the Committee. Officers may serve for an indefinite period subject to re-election by the general membership at each Annual General Meeting. Ordinary members of the Committee are elected for a fixed term of three years. They may be re-elected after a period/gap of at least a year.

Income from interest,	This is included in the accounts when receipt is probable and the amount receivable can
royalties and dividends	be measured reliably.
Income from membership	Membership subscriptions received in the nature of a gift are recognised in Donations
subscriptions	and Legacies.
	Membership subscriptions which give a member the right to buy services or other
	benefits are recognised as income earned from the provision of goods and services as
	income from charitable activities.

losses	any gain or loss resulting from revaluing investments to market value at the end of the

2.2 EXPENDITURE	AND LIABILITIES

	constructive obligation committing the charity to pay out resources and the amount of the
	obligation can be measured with reasonable certainty.
Governance and support costs	Support costs have been allocated between governance costs and other support. Governance costs comprise all costs involving public accountability of the charity and its compliance with regulation and good practice.
	Support costs include central functions and have been allocated to activity cost
	categories on a basis consistent with the use of resources, eg allocating property costs
	by floor areas, or per capita, staff costs by the time spent and other costs by their usage.
Grants with performance conditions	Where the charity gives a grant with conditions for its payment being a specific level of service or output to be provided, such grants are only recognised in the SoFA once the recipient of the grant has provided the specified service or output.
Grants payable without performance conditions	Where there are no conditions attaching to the grant that enables the donor charity to realistically avoid the commitment, a liability for the full funding obligation must be recognised.
Redundancy cost	The charity made no redundancy payments during the reporting period.
Deferred income	No material item of deferred income has been included in the accounts.
Creditors	The charity has creditors which are measured at settlement amounts less any trade discounts
	A liability is measured on recognition at its historical cost and then subsequently
