Section D Achievements and performance
Summary of the main achievements of the charity during the year
The band was awarded the title of Champion Band of Wales for the second successive year following its success at the Welsh Regional Championship in Swansea on 1 March 2020.
Following the Covid-19 pandemic, music making activities ceased for the majority of the year. However a project was entered into with Matt Lucas online to promote the work of the Feed NHS charity.
The band are grateful for the support of the Arts Council and Wales and others for the availability of ongoing grant funding during the period. This has enabled the band to recommence activities as lockdown restrictions have eased in 2021.

Independent examiner's statement
In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention
-
which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in, any material respect, the requirements:
-
to keep accounting records in accordance with section 130 of the Charities Act; and
-
to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the Charities Act
-
have not been met; or
-
