## Trustees' report (continued) for the year ended 31 January 2025
## **Structure, governance and management continued**
## **Organisation**
The society’s executive committee is the charity’s board of trustees and comprises of a maximum of 12 members, all of whom administer the charity. The committee usually meets monthly although ad-hoc smaller meetings may take place if required.
## **Objectives and activities**
## **The charity's objects**
To educate members in the musical, dramatic, performing and expressive arts.
To promote the spiritual life of the members.
To further the development of public appreciation and taste in the above arts.
To assist such charitable institutions and charitable purposes as the Executive Committee from time to time determine.
## **The charity's main activities**
The strategies employed to achieve the charity's objectives are to:
Present a major production each year, usually a musical show;
Stage smaller scale productions each year such as concerts or reviews; Offer opportunities for people to get involved in arts activity exploring their own creative powers; and Provide facilities for amateur artists to develop.
## **Public benefit statement**
In setting our objectives and planning our activities our Trustees have given serious consideration to the Charity Commission’s general guidance on public benefit and in particular the advancement of dramatic and operatic arts.
## **Achievements and performance**
Following the artistic success of Anything Goes in November 2023, BCP's Executive Committee chose to focus the society's attention on one major production of Sister Act. Wholly engaging, it was an artistic and financial success which would allow the society to invest in the proposed youth production of Les Miserables in the year ending 31 January 2026.
## **Financial review**
The net income for the year was £7,733, all relating to unrestricted funds.
During the reporting period:
No income was derived from contracts with central or local government;
No grants were received from central or local government;
No staff were employed by the charity; and
The charity’s financial controls were reviewed by the Treasurer and approved by trustees.
## **Our pricing policy**
As far as it is possible to do so, it is the charity’s policy to offer concerts and shows at ticket prices that will maximise the scope for participation among people from all income brackets whilst at the same time returning a surplus in order to bolster the charity’s funds and make charitable donations possible.
## **Investment powers and policy**
The trustees, having regard to the liquidity requirements of staging musical shows and concerts have operated a policy of keeping available funds in an interest-bearing deposit account and seek to achieve a rate on deposit which matches or exceeds inflation as measured by the retail prices index.

## Trustees' report (continued) for the year ended 31 January 2025
## **Reserves policy**
The charity's free reserves, excluding fixed assets, at the year end were £48,735.
Reserves are needed to bridge the gap between the spending of funds on a production and receiving of income from ticket sales. The trustees consider that the ideal level of reserves as at 31 January 2025 to be £40,000. The charity’s net liquid assets are in excess of this reserve minimum.

## Independent examiner's report to the trustees of The Bradford Catholic Players
I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the charity for the year ended 31 January 2025, which are set out on pages 6 to 10.
## **Responsibilities and basis of report**
As the charity trustees you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 ('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 Charities Act; 2 the accounts do not accord with those records; or
- 3 the accounts do not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 other than any requirement that the accounts give a 'true and fair view' which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination.

## The Bradford Catholic Players
## Independent examiner's report to the trustees of The Bradford Catholic Players
I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the charity for the year ended 31 January 2025, which are set out on pages 6 to 10.
## **Responsibilities and basis of report**
As the charity trustees you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 ('the Act').
I report in respect of my examination of the charity's accounts as carried out under section 145 of the 2011 Act. 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 Charities Act; 2 the accounts do not accord with those records; or
- 3 the accounts do not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 other than any requirement that the accounts give a 'true and fair view' which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination.
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.
