## **TRUSTEES' REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2023**
The Trustees present their annual report together with the financial statements of the Fund for the year 1 April 2022 to 31 March 2023.
## **Objectives and activities**
## **a. Policies and objectives**
In setting objectives and planning for activities, the Trustees have given due consideration to general guidance published by the Charity Commission relating to public benefit, including the guidance 'Public benefit: running a charity (PB2)'.
## **b. Strategies for achieving objectives**
To attract more capital, by applications to trusts, individuals and legacies, from which we can apply the income to:
Meet the increasing cost of School fees to support the Choristers. Improve the level of support to Choristers.
## **c. Benefits**
Chorister training and education in music and performance by the Cathedral Music Team imbues Choristers with a life long knowledge and love of making music. It develops team work, discipline, concentration and pride in excellence that a Chorister experiences every day and enhances confidence in self expression.
Choristers bring high quality music in praise of God to all who attend the many services at the Cathedral.
## **Achievements and performance**
## **a. Review of activities**
Choristers regularly sing at Cathedral Services and public music events in the Cathedral and elsewhere. This brings choral music to the attention and appreciation of the wider public.
The Trustees acknowledge and congratulate the Cathedral Music Team in providing dedicated Chorister training which results in such high quality music.
Highlights of the year have included performances of Handel’s Messiah and Bach’s St Matthew Passion, Christmas concerts in London and Norwich and Britten’s Ceremony of Carols at Epiphany.
2022-23 saw some memorable concert performances promoted by the Cathedral Music Department. These continue to build up the cathedral’s reputation as a centre for musical excellence, with high quality performances that involve not only the Cathedral’s musicians but outstanding orchestral musicians and soloists from further afield. April 2022 saw the annual Bach Passion performance, this time of the St John Passion. In celebration of the late Queen’s Platinum Jubilee, the Chamber Choir gave a performance of Handel’s Coronation Anthems to a packed audience. Christmas 2023 also attracted large audiences for Handel’s Messiah and the Cathedral Choir Christmas concert. The Cathedral Choir gave a memorable performance of Bach’s St Matthew Passion to start Holy Week 2023.
Before the Cathedral’s pipe organ was dismantled for rebuilding, a closing concert in June 2022, the ‘Battle of the organs’, attracted an audience of over 1,000 people who attended free of charge: it was wonderful to see the building full of people of all ages enjoying the sound of the organ alongside the temporary digital organs.

## **TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2023**
## **Achievements and performance (continued)**
As well as the larger-scale concerts throughout the year, there have been many other concerts in the Cathedral, offered free of charge, including musical reflections at Epiphany and in Holy Week and lunchtime recitals as part of Norwich School’s ‘Making Musicians’ programme. The concerts bring huge numbers of people into the cathedral across the year, many of whom do not attend ordinarily for worship.
The Cathedral Choir also has a regular programme of singing in the Diocese, taking its music out to a Parish Church on one Sunday each term. Whilst this was not possible during Covid, the programme has now been reestablished, with visits in 2023 to Attleborough, Cley and Heydon.
## _Safeguarding_
The increased safeguarding training across the organisation has helped reinforce the already positive culture that exists within the music department towards safeguarding and, in particular, the care of our choristers. The two paid choir chaperones take their responsibilities for safeguarding and the welfare of choristers very seriously: when concerns have arisen, they have been raised and recorded properly via the Master of Music and/or Canon Precentor. They in turn have sought the advice both of the Canon for Mission and Pastoral Care as named person for safeguarding and Peter Sayer as the Chapter’s Safeguarding Adviser, consulting with the relevant staff at Norwich School where appropriate. Whilst there should be no complacency, the systems within the organisation and the music department to keep people safe are working well.
## _Conclusion_
With the return of the Cathedral organ in 2023, alongside a possible broadening of the Cathedral’s musical outreach, the year ahead represents an exciting new chapter in the musical life of the Cathedral.
## **b. Investment policy and performance**
The market value of the investments at the year end stood at £3,821,164. The financial advisers, Barratt & Cooke Limited, carry out regular reviews of the investment portfolio and make appropriate changes that are advised to the Trustees. Their investment policy is to have a balanced portfolio to produce income but also to safeguard the capital.
Profit on investments disposed of during the year amounted to £1,851 and the market value of retained investments decreased by £205,597. As such, the total net loss on investments during the year was £203,746.
The Fund follows the Ethical Investment Policy of the Church of England, and this was reviewed and readopted during the course of the year.
## **Financial review**
## **a. Going concern**
Given the Chorister Fee Projections on the new funding system (introduced September 2020), further financial support from Norwich School towards Chorister Bursaries, several grants specifically to support Bursaries, the completion of They Shall Laugh & Sing: The Norwich Cathedral Music Appeal, the Trustees have a reasonable expectation that the Fund has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. For this reason, they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements.
## **b. Reserves policy**
The Fund’s policy is to hold reserves to meet one year’s contribution to school fees for up to twenty Choristers. This equates to approximately £150,000. Unrestricted reserves at 31 March 2023 were £355,121.
Page 3
## **NORWICH CATHEDRAL CHOIR ENDOWMENT FUND**
## **TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2023**
## **c. Review of financial activities and affairs**
The unrestricted fund recorded a deficit in the year of £15,430 and this, when subtracted from the total unrestricted funds brought forward of £370,551, resulted in a balance at the year end of £355,121.
For the 2020/21 academic year, the Fund introduced a new funding method, whereby the new cohort of Choristers received a fixed cash sum as opposed to a percentage of school fees. This will continue to be reviewed by Trustees. Each successive cohort of new Choristers will move onto this new funding system. In addition, Choristers seeking bursary assistance have been encouraged to approach trusts which specifically consider applications from Cathedral Choristers.
During the course of the year, the Fund paid £155,734 in scholarships/bursaries for Choristers attending Norwich School.
The Trustees would like to thank all the many individuals and trusts who contribute so generously to the Fund to support the high-quality choral music of the worshipping life of Norwich Cathedral.
## **Structure, governance and management**
## **a. Constitution**
The Fund was established by the Chapter of Norwich Cathedral and operates under a Trust Deed dated 6 May 1986. The aims, as set out in the deed, are “the provision, promotion and encouragement of music in the Cathedral Church of Norwich by the award in each year of a scholarship or scholarships to one or more of the Choristers for the time being of the Cathedral in order that such moneys so awarded may be applied in or towards the education of such Chorister or Choristers at King Edward the Sixth's School in the City of Norwich or at any such other College or School as may be approved by the Chapter to the intent that such Chorister or Choristers may thereby be the better able to receive the training and education in music afforded to a Chorister of the Cathedral".
The Fund makes contributions to the school fees of up to 19 Cathedral Choristers and subject to available income, this may be increased on a means tested basis through the award of bursaries.
## **b. Methods of appointment or election of Trustees**
The Trustees are appointed by the Chapter of Norwich Cathedral for an initial period of five years. Three of the Trustees are members of Chapter. At the end of five years, and any subsequent period, Chapter may reappoint, providing the member is willing to serve.
## **c. Policies adopted for the induction and training of Trustees**
Trustees are inducted by the Chairman. They are provided with copies of: The Trust deeds;
The latest Trustees Report and Financial Statement and minutes of recent Trustee meetings; and The Charity Commission Guidance reference CC3, which explains the key duties of charity trustees.
in addition Trustees are encouraged to read the Charity Commissions’ newsletters, which are circulated to them.
## **d. Risk management**
All Trustees and the Clerk give of their time freely and on a voluntary basis. All income received is used for the Fund‘s charitable activities and governance costs.

## **INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2023**
## **Independent examiner's report to the Trustees of Norwich Cathedral Choir Endowment Fund ('the Fund')**
I report to the charity Trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Fund for the year ended 31 March 2023.
## **Responsibilities and basis of report**
As the Trustees of the Fund you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 ('the 2011 Act').
I report in respect of my examination of the Fund's accounts carried out under section 145 of the 2011 Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act.
## **Independent examiner's statement**
Your attention is drawn to the fact that the Fund has prepared the accounts in accordance with Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) in preference to the Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice issued on 1 April 2005 which is referred to in the extant regulations but has been withdrawn.
I understand that this has been done in order for the accounts to provide a true and fair view in accordance with the Generally Accepted Accounting Practice effective for reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2015.
I have completed my examination. I confirm that no matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect:
1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the Fund as required by section 130 of the 2011 Act; or
2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or
3. the accounts do not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 other than any requirement that the accounts give a 'true and fair' view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination.
I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

## **NORWICH CATHEDRAL CHOIR ENDOWMENT FUND**
## **NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2023**
## **1. Accounting policies**
## **1.1 Basis of preparation of financial statements**
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102) - Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2015), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Charities Act 2011.
The financial statements have been prepared to give a 'true and fair' view and have departed from the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 only to the extent required to provide a 'true and fair' view. This departure has involved following the Charities SORP (FRS 102) published on 16 July 2014 rather than the Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice effective from 1 April 2005 which has since been withdrawn.
Norwich Cathedral Choir Endowment Fund meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102. Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy.
## **1.2 Income**
All income is recognised once the Fund has entitlement to the income, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount of income receivable can be measured reliably.
Grants are included in the statement of financial activities on a receivable basis. The balance of income received for specific purposes but not expended during the period is shown in the relevant funds on the balance sheet. Where income is received in advance of entitlement of receipt, its recognition is deferred and included in creditors as deferred income. Where entitlement occurs before income is received, the income is accrued.
Income tax recoverable in relation to investment income is recognised at the time the investment income is receivable.
Other income is recognised in the period in which it is receivable and to the extent the goods have been provided or on completion of the service.
Page 10
**NORWICH CATHEDRAL CHOIR ENDOWMENT FUND**
**NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2023**
## **1. Accounting policies (continued)**
## **1.3 Expenditure**
Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to transfer economic benefit to a third party, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably.
Expenditure on charitable activities is incurred on directly undertaking the activities which further the Fund's objectives, as well as any associated support costs.
Grants payable are charged in the year when the offer is made except in those cases where the offer is conditional, such grants being recognised as expenditure when the conditions attaching are fulfilled. Grants offered subject to conditions which have not been met at the year end are noted as a commitment, but not accrued as expenditure.
All expenditure is inclusive of irrecoverable VAT.
## **1.4 Interest receivable**
Interest on funds held on deposit is included when receivable and the amount can be measured reliably by the Fund; this is normally upon notification of the interest paid or payable by the institution with whom the funds are deposited.
## **1.5 Investments**
Fixed asset investments are a form of financial instrument and are initially recognised at their transaction cost and subsequently measured at fair value at the balance sheet date, unless the value cannot be measured reliably in which case it is measured at cost less impairment. Investment gains and losses, whether realised or unrealised, are combined and presented as ‘Gains/(Losses) on investments’ in the statement of financial activities.
## **1.6 Debtors**
Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount after any trade discount offered. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid net of any trade discounts due.
## **1.7 Cash at bank and in hand**
Cash at bank and in hand includes cash and short-term highly liquid investments with a short maturity of three months or less from the date of acquisition or opening of the deposit or similar account.
## **1.8 Liabilities and provisions**
Liabilities are recognised when there is an obligation at the balance sheet date as a result of a past event, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefit will be required in settlement, and the amount of the settlement can be estimated reliably.
Liabilities are recognised at the amount that the Fund anticipates it will pay to settle the debt or the amount it has received as advanced payments for the goods or services it must provide.

**NORWICH CATHEDRAL CHOIR ENDOWMENT FUND**
**NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2023**
## **1. Accounting policies (continued)**
## **1.9 Financial instruments**
The Fund only has financial assets and financial liabilities of a kind that qualify as basic financial instruments. Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at transaction value and subsequently measured at their settlement value.
## **1.10 Fund accounting**
General funds are unrestricted funds which are available for use at the discretion of the Trustees in furtherance of the general objectives of the Fund and which have not been designated for other purposes.
Restricted funds are funds which are to be used in accordance with specific restrictions imposed by donors or which have been raised by the Fund for particular purposes. The costs of raising and administering such funds are charged against the specific fund. The aim and use of each restricted fund is set out in the notes to the financial statements.
Investment income, gains and losses are allocated to the appropriate fund.
