During the year the orchestra held 3 regular concerts. The first, in November 2021 in the Great Hall at Lancaster University, was the final concert with our Musical Director, Jonathan Lo. The remaining concerts in March 2022 in the Great Hall at Lancaster University and June 2022 in the Ashton Hall at Lancaster Town Hall, were with guest conductors pending the appointment of a regular Musical Director. The public returned to our concerts in gratifyingly numbers with audience figures between 300 and 450. In July 2022 the orchestra took part in the Lancaster Health Festival providing two free concerts in the Town Hall. The aim of these was to enable people less familiar with classical music to enjoy a gentle introduction to the benefits of listening to music especially live music. Over 200 people attended including significant numbers of children. We are grateful for the support of this project from the Lancaster City Mayor. During the year we attracted and auditioned record numbers of players. This, with the financial support of our sponsors and patrons and generous donations, will enable us to plan future outreach work and exciting concert programmes. The trustees consider that they have complied with the duty in section 4 of the Charities Act 2012 to have due regard to the public benefit guidance published by the Charity Commission. ## **Financial Review** The charity maintains sufficient free reserves to enable them to cover one year’s fixed and administrative expenses. Reserves as at the year end are £42,570 (2021 - £28,346). The charity has sufficient funds to meet its liabilities. None of the trustees received any remuneration or expenses during the year. ## **Structure, Governance and Management** The trust was registered as a charity on 16 April 1980. The charity is governed by its constitution which was adopted on 20 July 1976 and amended 27 June 1978 and 10 October 2008. The orchestra adopted a new constitution in September 2021 to reflect best practise. New trustees are appointed by the continuing and retiring trustees.

I report in respect of my examination of the charity’s accounts carried out under section 145 of the Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed all the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act. ## **Independent examiner's statement** I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material 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 charity as required by section 130 of the Act; or 2. the accounts do not accord with those records. 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.
