2. Objectives and Activities

Summary of the purposes of the charity as set out in its governing document

The objects of the Society are to educate the public in the arts and sciences, and in particular the art and science of music, by the presentation of concerts and other activities.

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.

We welcome Members aged 16 and above from a wide range of backgrounds who are able to pass a simple voice test.

We enable our Members to participate in a creative, fulfilling, educational and sociable activity and provide opportunities for them to develop their singing technique, musical skills and knowledge of a wide range of choral repertoire from Baroque to 21[st] Century.

We promote public concerts, typically three per year in Ealing or other London venues, all of which are widely publicised and admission to which is open to all. These concerts provide our audiences with enjoyable and stimulating cultural experiences through the high quality of the performances and the interesting range of music featured. We occasionally tour to other European venues aiming to share our performances with other communities.

We regularly perform to raise funds in support of other charitable causes.

We perform on certain occasions for residents/patients, families and staff of our local hospice and senior living establishments.

From time to time, we commission and perform new choral works which extend the musical repertoire available for choirs.

From time to time, we provide opportunities for local school children to participate in choral singing at some of our concerts, thus broadening the musical experience of the pupils.

Statement confirming whether the trustees have had regard to the guidance issued by the Charity Commission on public benefit

The Trustees are mindful of the guidance on public benefit by the Charity Commission, as expressed in Section 17 of the Charities Act 2011.

We make particular effort to raise our profile in the local and wider community in order to make more people aware of the Society and the events it puts on.

The concerts promoted by the Society are open to all members of the public at a reasonable price, with concessions and reduced prices for under 18s made available where possible.

Membership of the Society is available to anyone 16 years and above who can demonstrate their ability to contribute to the Society’s aims.

Concessionary subscription rates are available, particularly for those under 30, and a bursary scheme provides free membership to qualifying young people aged 16-23.

3. Achievements and Performance

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.

On 18 June 2022 we performed a joyous programme of music at St Barnabas Church, Ealing, celebrating the 70 year reign of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II. As well as John Rutter’s exultant Gloria , we performed coronation favourites – Handel’s The King Shall Rejoice , Parry’s I was Glad and Stanford’s Gloria in Excelsis, composed for the coronation of HM King George V, plus other works from the period of Queen Elizabeth I. We were delighted to be joined by virtuosic brass band Onyx Brass for this celebratory occasion, which was conducted by our new Director of Music Peter Asprey, in his Ealing Choral Society debut. The concert was attended by an audience of 300 and was our first concert since the Covid-19 pandemic without social distancing restrictions imposed.

The first concert of our 60[th] anniversary season took place on 12 November 2022 at St Barnabas Church, Ealing. We were joined by the Orpheus Sinfonia and performed Mozart’s ‘Sparrow’ Mass, alongside the world premiere of our 60[th] anniversary commission, Bird of Time by celebrated composer Cecilia McDowall, one of our vice-presidents. Other works on the programme were Monteverdi’s Laudate Dominum Omnes Gentes, Vivaldi’s Dixit Dominus Monteverdi’s and an acapella performance of Mozart’s Ave Verum Corpus sung by heart. The concert was a huge success, attended by a capacity audience of 390.

On 10 December 2022, the Society gave its annual Christmas Carol Concert at St Barnabas Church, Ealing, in support of Ealing Foodbank, a charity providing emergency food and support to local people in crisis in the London Borough of Ealing. The concert was well attended and generated a profit of £5,777 for the Foodbank. Also during December 2022, smaller groups of volunteer singers drawn from the choir membership sang carols at St David’s Home (for residents and staff) and Ealing Riding Stables. All these Christmas events were much enjoyed by audience and singers alike.

On 18 March 2023 the Society returned to the Cadogan Hall in Sloane Square, after a three year absence due to the COVID-19 pandemic, to perform the Mozart’s Mass in C Minor , accompanied by the English Chamber Orchestra, alongside Haydn’s Insanae et Vanae Curae , Arvo Pärt’s Da Pacem Domine and a strings-only version of Byrd’s Ave Verum Corpus. We reprised Mozart’s Ave Verum Corpus sung in June 2022 as an encore. It was wonderful to perform to an audience of 685 and hear their appreciation of the concert.

This financial year has marked the return to full concert giving since the hiatus caused by the Covid-19 pandemic and has been a much welcomed return to music-making to commemorate our 60[th] anniversary.

We were very pleased also to have increased our Membership levels during the reporting period to 94 members, including 22 new members who joined during the year.

4. Financial Review

Review of the
charity’s financial
position at the
end of the period		 See attached Appendix of Annual Accounts Year Ended 31 May 2023.
The overall loss in the financial year was £10,913.
Statement
explaining the
policy for holding
reserves stating
why they are held		 We believe it is prudent to have sufficient amounts in hand in our
unrestricted general funds to cover our commitments, as well as any
unexpected losses, and also to enable future planning.
Our current policy is to maintain unrestricted general funds between
£20,000 and £30,000.
The Trustees carefully monitor the financial situation to ensure that
each forward programme will be fundable and if any changes in
reserves policy are necessary.
Amount of
reserves held		 At the end of the financial year the Society’s reserves stood at
£69,789. Of this, £10,000 has been allocated to a designated fund for
special concerts/projects/initiatives to be determined, and a further
£1,512 to a designated bursary fund providing free membership to
those under 24 years.
Whilst our overall reserves are greater than specified in our policies,
the Society’s aim would be to utilise these reserves in future seasons,
in pursuance of our charitable aims of concert giving and related
activities.

Section C: Notes to the Accounts

Note 1 Basis of preparation

1.1 Basis of accounting

These accounts have been prepared on an accruals basis. Most transactions arise and are completed within the active season (September to June). The financial year ends on 31[st] May, and when concerts are scheduled during the following June the relevant concert transactions are attributed to the next financial year, and may be accrued. Other transactions concerning the whole season, e.g. rehearsal costs, are attributed to the financial year ending before the end of the season.

These accounts have been prepared under the historical cost convention with items recognised at cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant note(s) to these accounts.

The accounts have been prepared in accordance with:

The charity constitutes a public benefit entity as defined by FRS 102.

1.2 Going concern

There are no uncertainties related to events or conditions that cast significant doubt on the charity's ability to continue as a going concern.

1.3 Change of accounting policy

The accounts present a true and fair view and no changes have been made to the accounting policies adopted previously.

1.4 Changes to accounting estimates

No changes to accounting estimates have occurred in the reporting period.

1.5 Material prior year errors

No material prior year errors have been identified in the reporting period.

Note 2 Accounting policies

2.1 Reconciliation with previous generally accepted accounting practice

There has been no requisite change in accounting policies following first time adoption of FRS 102. No previous year’s figures have changed. No reconciliations are required.

Section C: Notes to the Accounts

2.2 Income

Recognition of income

These are included in the Statement of Financial Activities (SoFA) when:

Offsetting

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

Grants and donations are only included in the SoFA when the general income recognition criteria are met.

Legacies

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.

Support costs

The charity has not incurred expenditure on support costs.

Employees

The charity does not have any employees.

Volunteer help

The value of any voluntary help received is not included in the accounts. The Society receives voluntary help from its Members and Supporters in the form of serving on the Committee or Sub-Committees, providing assistance to Committee Members (e.g. for Publicity, Concert Management and Social Events tasks) and performing other key roles (e.g. Associates Secretary, Ticket Secretaries, Website Administrator). Approximately 45 to 55 volunteers are involved in the running of the Society each season.

Trustees

The only payments made to Trustees are reimbursements against receipts from non-related suppliers of goods or services used wholly for the aims of the Society. They are included in general expenditure under the appropriate headings.

Income from interest, royalties and dividends

This is included in the accounts when receipt is probable and the amount receivable can be measured reliably.
