## **West Norfolk Music Centre Chair’s Report for Year Ending August 31st 2022** 

## 1. MEMBERSHIP NUMBERS AND THE PANDEMIC 

Year ending August 2022 was the year that West Norfolk Music Centre (WNMC) continued to build member numbers back from the damage caused by The Pandemic. Pre pandemic, member numbers stood at around 115 to 120 but fell during that period to around 70 to 80. 

Consequently, The Trustees took the decision to commence a PR, advertising and promotion campaign to increase awareness and ultimately increase member numbers. This activity has been successful and by the end of August 2022 , numbers stood at around the 120 mark, ie, back to pre-pandemic levels. As at May 2023, the time of writing this report,WNMC member numbers have reached 145, close to an all time record. As has been mentioned in previous reports, WNMC had become increasingly dominated by adult members ageing from around 40 to 75. However, happily many of our new members are of school age, which of course bodes well for the future. 

## 2. THE PLAYING OF MUSIC 

The playing of music and bringing such an experience to as many in the community as possible remains the prime focus of WNMC.  We continue to offer high quality music tuition to a large majority of members as well as the opportunity to play with others in ensembles, orchestra, wind band and beginner band and a lot more. All of these activities have continued to succeed during this post pandemic period of recovery. WNMC continues to attract highly qualified music teachers to its Saturday morning sessions and those who decide to take formal music exams continue to succeed to a very high level of attainment. 

## 3. FINANCES 

Although 2022 was a loss making year, income from investments prevented WNMC from experiencing any financial stress. The Centre continues to hold its invested capital on a stable level, ie capital sums are not being drawn down to shaw up operational losses. WNMC continues to remain a going concern and the finances of the club are substantially sound. 

## 4. RELATIONSHIP WITH THE NORFOLK ARTS HUB 

The Norfolk Arts Hub continued to support WNMC by covering the cost of our rental for a part of The Springwood Academy, the location of our Saturday morning operations. This assistance is crucial to WNMC moving toward a break even annual financial outcome and we are grateful for this help. 

## 5. TRUSTEES AND AND STAFF 

WNMC has a team of very experienced staff at it’s disposal as well as a very strong committee of trustees. This fact remains central to its ongoing success at a time when other similar organisations have been forced to close down as a result of failure to attract sufficient numbers of members and quality of administrative staff and teachers. 

Derek Stringer.   Chair of Trustees.         May 11th 2023.

**WEST NORFOLK MUSIC CENTRE TRUSTEES REPORT FOR THE YEAR TO 31 AUGUST 2022** 

**Charity No - 291104** 

The trustees present their report along with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 August 2022. 

## **Statement of trustee's responsibilities** 

Charity law requires the trustees to prepare accounts that give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and of its income and expenditure for the financial year.  In doing so, the trustees are required to: 

- select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently; 

- make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; 

- 

- state whether applicable accounting standards and statements of recommended financial statements; and 

- - prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in operation. 

The trustees are responsible for maintaining proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and which enable them to ensure that the accounts comply with the Charities Act 2011. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities. 

## **Legal status & organisation** 

The charity was founded on 6th March 1985. The Governing instruments under which the charity operates is the deed dated 24th September 1980 as amended by supplemental deed 26th January 1985 and scheme dated 4th October 1988, as amended on 10th June 1997 as amended on 17th June 2019 and 31st July 2019. The organisation is a registered charity (Charity Number 291104). 

Other administrative details are as shown on page 1. 

## **Structure, governance and management** 

The trustees are responsible for the governance of the charity and ensure that it pursues the objects for which it was founded. 

New trustees, being qualified by experience, are appointed by recommendation of the current trustees, or by proposal of a current trustee entitled to vote at a meeting of the charity. 

## **Objectives and activities of the charity for the public benefit** 

The Trustees have had regard to the Charity Commission’s guidance on public benefit and have sought to ensure that all activities undertaken have been in line with the charity’s objectives. The main objectives of the charity are: 

To advance the education of the public in the arts and sciences and in particular the art and science of music by the provision of tuition. 

## **Achievements and Performance** 

The charity has continued to implement its policy of continued tuition of music to all age groups. 

## **Financial Review, Investment Policy and Reserves** 

The attached documents demonstrate in financial terms the activities of the charity for the past year. As can be seen the charity has a deficit on un-restricted funds in the current year of £25 compared to £4,025 surplus in the prior year. Accumulated unrestricted funds carried forward are £263,427 (2021 - £436,827), this level of funds is seen as satisfactory in order for the charity to continue meeting its objectives.

## **WEST NORFOLK MUSIC CENTRE** 

## **INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF WEST NORFOLK** 

## **MUSIC CENTRE** 

I report on the accounts of the Trust for the period ended 31 August 2022, which are set out on pages 5 to 9. 

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

The 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. 

Having satisfied myself that the charity is not subject to audit under company law and is eligible for independent examination, it is my responsibility to: 

- examine the accounts under section 145 the 2011 Act; 

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

- to 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 the seeking of 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 examiners 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 trustees have not met the requirements to ensure that: 

   - a) proper accounting records are kept (in accordance with section 130 of the 2011 Act); and b) accounts are prepared which agree with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the 2011 Act; or 

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

**Charity No - 291104** 

The trustees present their report along with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 August 2022. 

## **Statement of trustee's responsibilities** 

Charity law requires the trustees to prepare accounts that give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and of its income and expenditure for the financial year.  In doing so, the trustees are required to: 

- select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;

They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities. 

## **Legal status & organisation** 

The charity was founded on 6th March 1985. The Governing instruments under which the charity operates is the deed dated 24th September 1980 as amended by supplemental deed 26th January 1985 and scheme dated 4th October 1988, as amended on 10th June 1997 as amended on 17th June 2019 and 31st July 2019.

Other administrative details are as shown on page 1. 

## **Structure, governance and management**

## **INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF WEST NORFOLK** 

## **MUSIC CENTRE** 

I report on the accounts of the Trust for the period ended 31 August 2022, which are set out on pages 5 to 9. 

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

The 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. 

Having satisfied myself that the charity is not subject to audit under company law and is eligible for independent examination, it is my responsibility to: 

- examine the accounts under section 145 the 2011 Act; 

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

- to 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 the seeking of 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 examiners 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 trustees have not met the requirements to ensure that: 

   - a) proper accounting records are kept (in accordance with section 130 of the 2011 Act); and b) accounts are prepared which agree with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the 2011 Act; 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 FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR TO 31 AUGUST 2022** 

## **1. Accounting policies** 

The significant accounting policies used in the preparation of these financial statements are:- 

## **1.1 Basis of accounting** 

The financial statements are prepared in accordance with applicable accounting standards and on the basis that the charity can continue to operate as a going concern.  The trustees believe this basis to be appropriate as the music centre has sufficient funds available to finance its operations for the foreseeable future. 

The music centre has prepared its financial statements in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 and the statement of recommended practice Accounting and Reporting by Charities (SORP 2005) and applicable UK Accounting Standard. 

## **1.2 Incoming resources** 

All incoming resources are included in the SOFA when the charity is legally entitled to the income and the amount can be quantified with reasonable accuracy.  The following specific policies are applied to particular categories of income:

## **Donations and grants** 

Income from donations and grants are included in incoming resources when these are receivable. 

## **Interest receivable** 

Interest is included when receivable by the charity. 

## **1.3 Resources expended** 

Expenditure is recognised when a liability is incurred. Contractual arrangements and performance related grants are recognised as goods or services are supplied. Other grant payments are recognised when a constructive obligation arises that results in the payment being unavoidable. 

- Costs of generating funds are those costs incurred in trading activities that raise funds. 

- Governance costs include those incurred in the governance of the charity and its assets and are primarily 

- associated with the constitutional and statutory requirements. 

## **1.4 Funds Structure**
