## **Trustees’ Report** 

## **Review of objectives and activities** 

Huntingdonshire Philharmonic (the “Society”), also known as Hunts Phil, was established to promote the appreciation by the public of the arts and sciences, and in particular the arts and sciences of music, by the presentation of concerts and other activities. The Society delivers on its objectives by giving performances of choral and instrumental music in Huntingdon and the surrounding area to the highest musical standards attainable by its performing members who are in the main local amateur or professional musicians not engaged principally in public performance alone. 

In addition to our musical performances, we support the Huntingdonshire Children's Charity "Dreamdrops" (http://dreamdropschildrenscharity.org/), under the umbrella Cambridgeshire Community Services NHS Trust’s charity. This local charity raises funds to provide services and equipment (where it is not covered by NHS public funds) for children being nursed in the local community, children in Hinchingbrooke Hospital, along with families and front-line staff. We continue to support this charity by inviting Dreamdrops members to attend our concerts, where they can sell raffle tickets, hold 'bucket collection' at the end of the concerts, or other fundraising activities. They also help the Hunts Phil by selling programmes. 

## **Achievements and performance** 

In accordance with our objectives, the Society has continued to give performances of choral and orchestral music to a high standard and which have received warm and enthusiastic reviews from our audience, which is mainly drawn from the Huntingdon area and, with the help of our volunteers, we were able to put on a fundraising “Come and Sing” event in January 2023 which attracted some new members to the choir. 

Six concerts were staged during the year and are summarised in the table below. Concert production and general administration of the Society would not be possible without volunteer help across a wide range of activities.

## **Financial Review** 

## **Summary** 

The Society made a loss before investment gains or losses of £(10,131) (2023: profit of £29,771). The profit in the previous year was largely the result of grants and bequests received totalling £36,388 which have not been matched in the current year. The loss is largely driven by aggregate loss of £11,565 on concerts produced during the year, partially offset by the excess of member subscriptions, other donations and gift aid over operational costs. Further details of the significant items from the financial review are provided in the following sections. 

## **Concert income: £15,997 (Prior year: £14,090)** 

Concert income has exceeded budget by £600, reflecting a growth in audience numbers over the prior year. The Society has actively promoted concerts in traditional and social media and offered a range of discounted options to attract the public. Whilst the traditional season ticket scheme has not been offered this year, multiple purchase discounts have been offered through online ticketing and the results indicate that these offers have been successful, together with an exciting and popular programme. 

## **Subscriptions: £14,010 (Prior year: £14,608)** 

Income from membership subscriptions is a vital source of income to fund rehearsal costs and the costs of administration. Due to rising costs, the trustees took the decision to increase the membership subscription to £160 for the year to 31 July 2023 and the subscription was maintained at £160 for the year to 31 July 2024.There has been a small reduction in the number of members, reflected in the reduced income from subscriptions in the current year. 

6 



Huntingdonshire Philharmonic Annual report and financial statements for the year ended 31 July 2024 

## **Donations and gifts: £2,387 (Prior year: £2,981)** 

The trustees are very grateful for the support received from members in the form of additional donations and gifts which are an important supplement to membership subscriptions. 

## **Gift Aid: £3,482 (Prior year: £2,821)** 

Gift aid has been reclaimed on eligible donations as well as eligible membership subscriptions treated as donations. There was a drive to publicise the option to make gift aid declaration, resulting in an increase in the amount that could be claimed in the current year. 

## **Grants and Legacies: £Nil (Prior year: £36,388)** 

In the prior year the Trustees received a bequest from the estate of a former member of the Society and also successfully applied to Huntingdon Freemen’s Trust (the “Trust”) for a grant towards the cost of concert hall hire in Huntingdon. 

Grant applications made in the current year have not been successful and the Trustees continue to seek opportunities and skills for making successful applications in order to finance the production of concerts. 

## **Expenditure on charitable activities: £46,851 (Prior year: £40,555)** 

## _Concert expenditure_ 

Concert expenditure was circa £1,500 higher than budget due to increased hire costs of the concert hall in Huntingdon. The Trustees continue to monitor costs and seek opportunities to make reductions, whilst striving to maintain high quality performances and interesting and varied repertoire. 

## _Rehearsal fees_ 

Rehearsal fees represent fees paid to professional musicians for conducting rehearsals, leading the orchestra and accompanying the choir. 

Rehearsal fees vary from year to year depending on the number of rehearsals scheduled for each season and reflect the mix of professionals that work with the Society. 

## _Choir music hire_ 

It is the custom for the Society’s choir members to contribute to the cost of hire of vocal scores. During the year, hire costs for vocal scores totalled £571 (prior year: £297) and choir members contributed £444 (prior year: £292) towards these costs. 

## _Termination payment_ 

At the end of the season, the Trustees and Musical Director agreed to terminate the contract, with a termination payment amounting to £2,040. 

## **The Future** 

The Trustees acknowledge the excellent musicianship and commitment of the Musical Director throughout the two years of his contract with the Society and extend thanks for his dedication and service. Looking ahead, after considering the membership profile, the Trustees decided to take this opportunity to change direction and to revert to a previous model whereby there will be separate conductors for the choir and the orchestra. The focus is on retaining and improving membership numbers, and controlling costs so that the bequest which the Society was fortunate to receive can be preserved, thus ensuring there is opportunity to further our charitable aims of promoting appreciation of the arts and sciences of music to the public, with a particular emphasis on attracting new audiences and young people especially.

## **Investment powers** 

These are governed by the Society’s Constitution which permits funds to be invested at the discretion of the Trustees. 

## **Reserves** 

The Society’s reserves at 31 July 2024 stand at £39,651 (prior year: £49,506).  The reserves policy operated by the Society is to maintain reserves at an amount to cover 12 months of operational expenditure, which excludes concert expenditure. The Trustees regard this as a prudent provision.

## **Independent Examiner’s Report** 

## **Independent Examiner’s Report to the Trustees of Huntingdonshire Philharmonic** 

I report on the accounts of the charity for the year ended 31 July 2024 which are set out on pages 10 to19. 

## **Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner** 

The charity’s trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The charity’s trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144(2) of the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act) and that an independent examination is needed. 

It is my responsibility to: 

- examine the accounts under section 145 of the 2011 Act; 

- follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act; and 

- state whether particular matters have come to my attention. 

## **Basis of independent examiner’s report** 

My examination was carried out in accordance with the general Directions given by the Charity Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from you as trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a “true and fair view” and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below. 

## **Independent examiner’s statement** 

In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention: 

1. which gives me reasonable cause to believe that, in any material respect, the requirements: 

   - to keep accounting records in accordance with section130 of the 2011 Act; and 

   - to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the 2011 Act 

have not been met; or 

2. to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

## **Notes to the accounts for the year ended 31 July 2024** 

## **1. Basis of preparation** 

## **1.1. Basis of accounting** 

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 to these accounts. 

These accounts have been prepared in accordance with the Statement of Recommended Practice: Accounting and Reporting by Charities (SORP) preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS102) issued on 16 July 2014 and with the Charities Act 2011. 

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

## **1.2. Going concern** 

The trustees have reviewed the budget for the year and are satisfied that there is sufficient funding in place for the charity’s activities over the next twelve months. The budget assumes that sufficient volunteers are available to support the Society in carrying out administrative and concert management activities and the Trustees continually strive to ensure there are sufficient volunteers to support these activities. 

## **2. Accounting policies** 

## **2.1. Income** 

## **Recognition of income** 

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

- The charity becomes entitled to the resources 

- The Trustees are virtually certain they will receive the resources and 

- The monetary value can be measured with sufficient reliability 

## **Incoming Resources with related expenditure** 

Where incoming resources have related expenditure (as with fundraising or contract income) the incoming resource and related expenditure are reported gross in the SOFA. 

## **Grants and donations** 

Grants and donations are only recognised 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). 

12 



Huntingdonshire Philharmonic Annual report and financial statements for the year ended 31 July 2024 

## **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. 

## **Volunteer Help** 

The value of any voluntary help received is not included in the accounts but is described in the trustees’ annual report. 

## **Donated Goods** 

Gifts in kind for use by the charity are included in the SOFA as income from donations when receivable. 

## **Income from interest and dividends** 

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

## **Income from membership subscriptions** 

Membership subscriptions received in the nature of a gift are recognised in **Donations and Legacies** . 

## **Investment gains and losses** 

This includes any realised or unrealised gains or losses on the sale of investments and 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 costs** 

Governance Costs include the costs of the trustees’ meetings. 

13 



Huntingdonshire Philharmonic Annual report and financial statements for the year ended 31 July 2024 

## **2.3. Assets** 

## **Tangible fixed assets for use by the charity** 

These are capitalised if they can be used for more than one year, and cost at least £500. They are valued at cost. 

Depreciation is calculated at a rate to write off the costs of tangible fixed assets on a straight line basis over their estimated useful lives. The rates applied per annum are as follows: 

Instruments: 20% reducing balance 

Equipment: 20% straight line 

## **Investments** 

Fixed asset investments in quoted shares, traded bonds and similar investments are valued at initially at cost and subsequently at fair value (their market value) at the year end. 

## **Debtors** 

Debtors (including trade debtors and loans receivable) are measured on initial recognition at settlement amount after any trade discounts or amount advanced by the charity.  Subsequently, they are measured at the cash or other consideration expected to be received. 

## **Current asset investments** 

The charity has investments which it holds for resale or pending their sale and cash and cash equivalents with a maturity date less than one year. These include cash on deposit and cash equivalents with a maturity date of less than one year held for investment purposes rather than to meet short term cash commitments as they fall due. 

They are valued at fair value except where they qualify as basic financial instruments. The charity accounts for basic financial instruments on initial recognition as per paragraph 11.7 FRS102 SORP.  Subsequent measurement is as per paragraphs 11.17 to 11.19, FRS102 SORP. 

Bank deposits are held at the cash amount of the deposit.
