Section D Achievements and performance
Summary of the main achievements of the charity during the year
Covid 19 and the lockdown restrictions again hampered the operations of the band particularly during the early part of the year. The band is again grateful to the Arts Council Wales and many private businesses and individuals who continued to support them during this period and enable the fixed costs to be met.
In the summer, the band was able to recommence its recording activities with the World of Brass at the Brangwyn Hall. Later in the year we performed concerts with the Amersham band and with the students at Ardingly College – in addition to appearing at the Brass in Concert Championships in Gateshead.
The band also made preparations ahead of the band representing Wales at the European Championships in April 2022.

Respective The charity's trustees are responsible for the preparation of the
-
responsibilities of accounts. The charity’s trustees consider that an audit is not trustees and required for this year under section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 examiner (the Charities Act) and that an independent examination is needed. It is my responsibility to:
-
examine the accounts under section 145 of the Charities Act,
-
to follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity Commission (under section 145(5)(b) of the Charities Act, and
-
to state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
Basis of independent My examination was carried out in accordance with general examiner’s Directions given by the Charity Commission. An examination statement
- 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 seeking explanations from the 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.
