which is to concentrate on making grants as follows..
grants towaids tlie costs of mu5ician5, scholarship5, bursaries, and choral outreacWdeY¢lopm¢nt scheines-
means-tested assistance towards the fees of individual choristers al cathedrals and choral foundatioiis,.
purchase of liturgical music (not hymn books or psalters};
courses for individuals and groups of church musicians,.
where theTe is no specifIc choir school.. bryants toward5 chorister support cost5, including theory, instrutnental and
vocal tuition, plu5 travel and subsistence associated with choristers at cathedrals and choral foundations.,
other projects le.g., outr¢a¢hl of an innoN'ative kind that are likely Eo further the Trusi's object in a direct and
effective way. In exceptional circwnstances, these tnay include music commissions. In eveTJ' ¢as¢. the project
must hav¢ a direct bearing on advan¢ing choral excellence in worship.
Awards are made by the trustees at their bi-annual meetings after consideration of recommendations from the Sifting
commiiiee and the Pickering advisory Broup.
Strategic Review aDd Future plan$
In September 2023. trusiees agreed that a workj.nts paty, consisting of DT DarlillEton, Canon Mason, Mr Lowe and the
Clerk should undetuke a strategic rel'iew of the Twst. This ieview took an in4epth study of the following..
the a￿ll￿ and obj¢clives of the Ouseley Church Music Tn￿t-
the level of enquiries and applicaiions.,
the evidence of continuing need tor the Trust's support to cathedrals and parish ¢hur¢h¢s,'
the Trust'5 markct nich¢ alongsido sister organis&tion5',
the Trnst's grant making policy;
Ihe Trust's finances-
the strucwre of the Trust.
Ev¢n in th¢ changing landscape of Church Music, truste¢s agreed that the Ouseley Church usic Trust IOCMT) had a
Strong role to play. This was borne out Èt] the h¢althy number of enquiries and applicaiions continuing to b¢ r¢¢eived.
Trustees concluded thai the OCMT had a distinct market niche. based on Advancing Choral Exc¢ll¢ncc, in line with Sir
Frederick Arthur Gore Ouseley's original vision when settEng up St Michael's College. Tenbury. A defining siatement of
Ihe OCMT'S role, ils aims and objectives, uniqueness, and the tnaiket niche it wishcd to reach should b¢ written and used
io amplify the Ttust's principles to potential applicanis. The deftning stsiement was adopted by trust¢es attheir September
2024 meeting.
The defining statement includes thc revised grant Tnaking policy dctailcd above under objectives and actlvities. It ivas
key for the Trust to be more pro-active in raising ils profjle amongst Cathedrals, parish Lhurches and ￿t￿berS of the Choir
Schools, Assoeialion.
In reviewing the structure of the Tn￿1. rrnstses decided to seek io apply to beeome a Charitabl¢ In¢orporated Organisation
{CIOl, w'hich will proijide an opportunity 10 revise the Trust's governing do¢um¢nt. A small group of tNstees and the
Clerk will take this forward.
As d¢lail¢d. the Trust's finan¢¢s are hcalthy and ¢arefvlly managed, and reserves have been rebuilt 5in¢¢ the Covid 19
pandemic in 2020.
August 2025 maTks the bicentenary of the birth ofouseley. Trustees hav¢ various plans to mark this anniversary includit]g
a new choral comtlli5sion. all grant5 in 2025 bein¥ kn0V￿ as'ouseley 200 Awards,, and working wilh oiher organ15atlOllS
to PTQtnote Ouseley.
Trustees agreed 8 detailed action plan to tske fonvard ihe developments from the Strategic Plan.
Public benefit statement
The trustees have due regard for the Charity Commission's guidan¢¢ on public benefit. In this report. they are satisfied
that the gran15 mad¢ during the year were for the bellefil of the public in that they promoted religion by advan¢ing choral
exc¢ll¢nc¢ in thc Church of England, thc Church in W'ales and the Church of Ireland, as well as adyancing thc art and
science of music In addition. Ih¢y believc that the grants categorised as 'cducation" i.e. buTsary assiStan¢¢ towards the
school f¢¢s of choristers, r¢li¢v¢d povcrty andlor advan¢¢d education in a direct and effective way.

The ov¢rall value of the investmeni portfolio increased during the year by £258,700. and income increased during the
year by £11,706.
The charges made by RBC BrewÈn Dolphin for managing the two largest funds wIthin the charity's portfolio, th¢
Endowment and Expendable funds, are calculated on an ud vulhfrvm basis, at]d ar¢ fully dis¢los¢d. The three smaller
funds are charged on a flat fee basis. In 2024, thc Costs totalled £30.202 (2023.. £27,600}.
The tNst¢e5 us¢ all income arL5in¥ on the Endowment and Expendable Funds to finance the TNsi's grants programrn¢
and its administration leaving the capital of the Endowment Fund intact. The trustees use both incom¢ and capital arising
on the restricted and desigllaled funds to finance bTrants from those funds. It is expected thai if. in any one y¢ar, income
