Para 1.20 | Achievements ●DCS organised and promoted three concerts throughout the year along with 30 weekly rehearsals. These were held at Durham School as our former rehearsal venue was not available. ●One concert was held at Elvet Methodist Church as planned (December 2024). This was held jointly with Durham Music Youth Choirs. ●Profits from the December concert were shared between Durham Music Trust, Winter Night Shelter (Durham Methodist Church) and ourselves. ●Two concerts were held in Durham Cathedral as planned (January 2025 and May 2025). ●Our January Concert was dedicated to Ben Thapa who was to have been our Judas Maccabeus, but who sadly died in September 2024. A collection was held and donated to Mind in his memory. ●We trialled using online programmes only at our May concert. ●A small group sang carols at a local Care Home for adults with severe learning difficulties. |

| Financial Review | ||
| Review of the charity’s financial position at the end of the period |
Para 1.21 | ● DCS had a strong year financially supported by ○ hiring the Cathedral Organ only for May concert instead of a full orchestra ○ an unexpected generous legacy of £93,353,37 from Ann Crawford, previous orchestral player, in April 2025 |
| Statement explaining the policy for holding reserves stating why they are held |
Para 1.22 | ●It is the charity’s policy to hold reserves. ●Reserves are held at a level which protects trustees from financial hardship should we have to cancel a concert in our main venue (Durham Cathedral). ●The legacy is also being held in the society’s reserves as decisions are made by the trustees as to how to best use it. ●Insurance is held through membership of Making Music but some costs arising from cancellation are not covered. |
| Amount of reserves held | Para 1.22 | £109,179 which is more than double the annual turnover |

The charity’s principal sources of funds (including any fundraising) |
Para 1.47 |
DCS principal sources of funds during the year were: ●Membership subscriptions (49%) ●Ticket sales (27%) ●Gift Aid (10%) |
|---|---|---|
| Investment policy and objectives including any social investment policy adopted |
Para 1.46 | n/a |
| A description of the principal risks facing the charity |
Para 1.46 | Our main risks continue to be: ●Concert format becoming unsustainable – Durham Cathedral is the only local venue big enough to hold the choir, full orchestra and audience. If costs rise too much, then we |
| will have nowhere to perform in Durham City and will have to look further afield or change our business model. ●Cost of living affecting membership numbers and audience numbers ●Securing enough trustees and volunteers from the membership to run DCS |
||
|---|---|---|
| Other | ● DCS reviewed its financial processes in 2025 and it was approved by committee. ● Financial processes have been reviewed again during the year. |
