**music and in particular the art of choral**
**singing,**

**the**
**presentation**

**public**

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.**

**uplifting to both choir members and our**
**audiences.**
**Understandably initial attendance numbers**
**were down compared to pre-pandemic levels**

**rather chilly business but we soon settled into**
**the new routine. We are indebted to our**
**conductor, Robyn Sevastos and accompanist**

## **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**

**stable and we were able to welcome many**
**new members as the season progressed.**|

policy for holding reserves

**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**

Report and accounts for the year ended 31 July 2022
**Section C Notes to the accounts (cont)**
## **Note 2 Accounting policies 2.1 INCOME**
_This standard list of accounting policies has been applied by the charity except for those ticked "No" or "N/a". Where a different or additional policy has been adopted then this is detailed in the box below._
|**Recognition of income**
These are included in the Statement of Financial Activities (SoFA) when:
**Offsetting**
**Grants and donations**
**Legacies**
**Government grants**
The charity has received government grants in the reporting period
**Donated goods**
· the charity becomes entitled to the resources;
· it is more likely than not that the trustees will receive the resources; and
· the monetary value can be measured with sufficient reliability.
There has been no offsetting of assets and liabilities, or income and expenses, unless required
or permitted by the FRS 102 SORP or FRS 102.
Grants and donations are only included in the SoFA when the general income
recognition criteria are met (5.10 to 5.12 FRS102 SORP).
In the case of performance related grants, income must only be recognised to the extent
that the charity has provided the specified goods or services as entitlement to the grant
only occurs when the performance related conditions are met (5.16 FRS 102 SORP).
Legacies are included in the SOFA when receipt is probable, that is, when there has
been grant of probate, the executors have established that there are sufficient assets in
the estate and any conditions attached to the legacy are either within the control of the
charity or have been met.
**Tax reclaims on**
**donations and gifts**
Gift Aid receivable is included in income when there is a valid declaration from the donor.
Any Gift Aid amount recovered on a donation is considered to be part of that gift and is
treated as an addition to the same fund as the initial donation unless the donor or the
terms of the appeal have specified otherwise.
**Contractual income and**
**performance related**
**grants**
This is only included in the SoFA once the charity has provided the related goods or
services or met the performance related conditions.
Donated goods are measured at fair value (the amount for which the asset could be
exchanged) unless impractical to do so.
The cost of any stock of goods donated for distribution to beneficiaries is deemed to be
the fair value of those gifts at the time of their receipt and they are recognised on receipt.
In the reporting period in which the stocks are distributed, they are recognised as an
expense at the carrying amount of the stocks at distribution.
Donated goods for resale are measured at fair value on initial recognition, which is the
expected proceeds from sale less the expected costs of sale, and recognised in 'Income
from other trading activities' with the corresponding stock recognised in the balance
sheet. On its sale the value of stock is charged against 'Income from other trading
activities' and the proceeds from sale are also recognised as 'Income from other trading
activities'.
Goods donated for on-going use by the charity are recognised as tangible fixed assets
and included in the SoFA as incoming resources when receivable.
Gifts in kind for use by the charity are included in the SoFA as income from donations
when receivable.
**Donated services and**
**facilities**
Donated services and facilities are included in the SOFA when received at the value of
the gift to the charity provided the value of the gift can be measured reliably.
Donated services and facilities that are consumed immediately are recognised as
income with an equivalent amount recognised as an expense under the appropriate
heading in the SOFA.|Yes

|**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.|
|**Settlement of insurance**
**claims**|Insurance claims are only included in the SoFA when the general income recognition
criteria are met (5.10 to 5.12 FRS102 SORP) and are included as an item of other

|**losses**|any gain or loss resulting from revaluing investments to market value at the end of the|
||year.|
|**2.2 EXPENDITURE**|**AND LIABILITIES**|
|**Liability recognition**|Liabilities are recognised where it is more likely than not that there is a legal or|
||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|
|**Provisions for liabilities**|measured at the best estimate of the amount required to settle the obligation at the|
||reporting date|
|**Basic financial**
**instruments**|The charity accounts for basic financial instruments on initial recognition as per
paragraph 10.7 FRS102 SORP. Subsequent measurement is as per paragraphs 11.17
to 11.19, FRS102 SORP.|

|**use by charity**||
||They are valued at cost.|
||The depreciation rates and methods used are disclosed.|
|**Intangible fixed assets**|The charity has intangible fixed assets, that is, non-monetary assets that do not have|
||physical substance but are identifiable and are controlled by the charity through custody|
||or legal rights. The amortisation rates and methods used are disclosed.|
