## **(A REGISTERED CHARITY LIMITED BY GUARANTEE) (CHARITY NO: 702017)**
## **COUNCIL OF MANAGEMENT'S REPORTS ON THE GROUP ACCOUNTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2022**
The trustees, who are also directors of the charity for the purposes of the Companies Act, submit their annual report and the audited financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2022. The financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011, the Companies Act 2006, the Memorandum and Articles of Association, and Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102).
## **OBJECTIVES OF THE CHARITY, PRINCIPAL ACTIVITIES AND ORGANISATION OF OUR WORK**
The charity is constituted as a company limited by guarantee, and is therefore governed by a memorandum and articles of association.
The charity’s object and principal activity continues to be that of educating, promoting and developing the science, art and practice of horticulture, the advancement of environmental protection, with special reference to the conditions existing in the North of England by the promotion of shows and events. Within these events the charity supports numerous other horticultural charities, enabling them to increase public awareness of these charities. In shaping our objectives for the year and planning our activities, the trustees have considered the Charity Commission’s guidance on public benefit, including the guidance ‘public benefit: running a charity (PB2)’.
The charity also wholly controls a trading company, Harrogate Flower Show Limited, a company incorporated in England and Wales. The trustees feel it is important to highlight the fact that the trading company (which runs the shows) has, since its incorporation, paid over its profits to the charity under a deed of covenant. The annexed accounts show that in the year 2022 no payment was able to be made to the charity by way of a gift (2021: £nil), but charitable aims would be met from financial reserves. The Charity has established its grant making policy to achieve its objectives for the public benefit. The Charity receives and considers direct application for assistance. Detailed consideration is given to each application on the basis of information provided, additional information the trustees see as necessary to form an opinion, visits and follow up reports.
The charity cooperates with and provides support via the platform of the Harrogate Flower Shows for a wide range of horticulturally based groups, organisations and individuals. This includes support of over a dozen specialist plant societies, including, but not limited to chrysanthemum, dahlia, cacti, fuchsia, geranium, daffodil, gladioli and bonsai. The charity also engages with grown edibles through its work with the Northern Fruit Group, National Vegetable Society and regional allotment groups. The organisation works closely in promoting the valuable work of recognised charities, including Perennial (The Gardener’s Charity), Horticap, Wades Charity and various wider ranging groups.
The charity also supports learning and education in horticulture, via commitment to regional colleges including Askham Bryan, Shipley College, Bishop Burton, Kirkley and Craven College. A continued relationship with the Chartered Institute of Horticulture ‘Young Horticulturalist of the Year’ and the Yorkshire in Bloom ‘Young People’s Award’ ensure that such support is highlighted and widened in the sphere of learning.
Work of the organisation also extends to individuals and small groups, from horticultural exhibitors, nursery growers, floral societies and gardening clubs to community growing initiatives, historical organisations and volunteering groups.
## **THE COUNCIL OF MANAGEMENT**
There is a Council of Management which consists of a minimum of 15, maximum of 18, elected members. All of the members of the council of management are named within the company information, as directors of the charity, and served throughout the year unless stated otherwise in the company information. There is a President of the charity who is eligible to serve for an initial period of two years. The term in office may be extended at the discretion of the Council. The Chairman and Vice Chairman are elected annually by Council.
The day-to-day management of the charity is handled by J Robinson (the company secretary) and N Smith (the show director).
## **COMMITTEES**
There is an executive committee comprising the chairman of the company, the vice-chairman of the company, the company secretary, the show director, the solicitor, a representative from the Harrogate Flower Show Limited who is independent of the charity, and up to four other members of the council. Its function is to administer the company in all its aspects, to respond to instructions from the council, to bring to the council matters as necessary and to report to the council on its activities.

## **COUNCIL OF MANAGEMENT'S REPORT ON THE GROUP ACCOUNTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2022**
## **THE METHOD OF APPOINTMENT OR ELECTION OF TRUSTEES**
All potential trustees are vetted by existing trustees and actively participate in and gain experience of the shows under the guidance of existing trustees. Once appointed, all trustees receive a copy of the Society’s Memorandum and Articles of Association and Byelaws. In addition they receive a copy of the Charities Act 2011 sections 178-184 and a copy of the Charity Commission documents - "The Essential Trustee - what you need to know", “Charities and Risk Management” and “A Guide to Conflict of Interest for Charity Trustees”. The trustees are required to sign a declaration that they either have no conflicting interests or divulge any interest, which may conflict with those of the charity. Ongoing training is provided as necessary, including attendance at relevant courses.
## **RESPONSIBILITIES OF MEMBERS OF THE COUNCIL OF MANAGEMENT**
Company and charity law requires the members of the council of management to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the company and of the surplus or deficit of the company for the period. In preparing those financial statements, the members of the council of management are required to:
- (a) Select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
- (b) Observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP
(c) Make judgments and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
- (d) State whether applicable UK Accounting Standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements: and
- (e) Prepare financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the company will continue in business.
The members of the council of management are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the company and to enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the company and hence taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

## **DEVELOPMENTS, ACHIEVEMENTS AND FUTURE ACTIVITIES**
In contrast to the COVID-19 related limitations of 2021, 2022 offered the opportunity for large consumer events to return to a level of normality both in scale and content.
As the Harrogate Flower Shows continue to form the charity's key route to engagement and awareness of its aims, NEHS trustees agreed that the level of support and education offered to northern horticulture should continue through staging of both spring and autumn events in 2022. Hosting both shows at scale provided the opportunity to re-engage with the charity's core audience in different ways, with Spring offering the anticipation of the horticultural year ahead whilst Autumn celebrated the achievements of the season past in both plant and produce.
The Spring 2022 event offered a 'back to basics' approach, intended to engage and enthuse those new to gardening as a result of the lockdowns of 2020 and 2021. Practical demonstrations, advice theatres and the showcasing of high quality plant material provided an accessible route into the fascinating world of horticulture for beginner and expert alike. New for 2022, the 'Human Gardener' stage welcomed the 'people behind the plants', exploring the many routes into horticulture from a wide range of outside industries.
Autumn 2022 staged an unrivalled celebration of the gardening year, with 'Incredible Edible' welcoming championship fruit and vegetable entries from across the country. Over a dozen plant societies shared their knowledge of a range of plants and flowers, from dahlia to fuchsia, gladioli to pelargonium. The autumn event also allowed the charity to develop and share its commitment to the culture of gardening, with commissioned exhibitions including a history of Rock Gardens (with GARLAND - Garden & Landscape Group) and a theatre stage dedicated to the benefits of no-dig gardening.
Outside of the shows, the charity continued to utilise a variety of methods and channels to share and promote its work. Gardening tips were shared throughout the year via social media platforms including Twitter, Facebook and Instagram, reaching virtual audiences of up to 15,000. A members e-newsletter, delivered through Harrogate Flower Shows Ltd, continued to promote positive stories relating to horticulture, issued regularly and reaching audiences of 20-30,000 per issue.
Lectures and talks were provided to gardening groups, horticultural institutions and charitable partners, both in-person and supported by remote working systems such as Zoom and Microsoft Teams. These reached an estimated 1,500 people during the year.

## **COUNCIL OF MANAGEMENT'S REPORTS ON THE GROUP ACCOUNTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2022**
## **DEVELOPMENTS, ACHIEVEMENTS AND FUTURE ACTIVITIES CONTINUED**
The charity continues to maintain and develop relationships with key horticultural partners, working alongside organisations including Perennial, the Chartered Institute of Horticulture, the British Association of Landscape Industries, the Horticultural Trades Association, the National Association of Flower Arranging Societies and the National Allotment Society. The charity has further continued its relationship with a wide range of specialist society groups, hopefully enabling a stronger and brighter future for both their and our work and ambition.
## **RESULTS AND FINANCIAL POSITION**
Despite the removal of all restrictions associated with COVID-19, our trading company Harrogate Flower Show Limited continued to face significant challenges in 2022. A continued reticence with the Spring show's core audience to join large gatherings impacted both exhibitor and admission incomes significantly, resulting in a much reduced profit for the event. Whilst such hesitation had been largely overcome by September's Autumn show, the sad death of HM Queen Elizabeth II and uncertainty around the funeral date immediately before the event led to a sudden and unrecoverable break in momentum of pre-booked admissions. The sucessful hosting of both events have, however, continued to allow the charity to engage in its aims and ambitions during uncertain times. Directors of the trading company remain acutely aware of the core aims and ambitions of the charity and continue to implement and monitor cost economies within the trading company.
The financial profit by the trading company was offset by brought forward trading losses meaning that no gift (2021: £nil) is payable in 2022. Part of costs is charitable expenditure and is separately identified in the SoFA. During the year, the charitable expenditure incurred by the subsidiary on behalf of the charity totalled £323,784 (2021:£170,377).
The Income and Expenditure Account shows a loss of £152,307 (2021: £99,043 gain) on investments, in addition to highlighting that charitable donations of £164,315 (2021: £3,049) were made. A donation of £162,000 (2021: £nil) was made from The North of England Horticultural Society to Harrogate Flower Show Limited.
## **THE CHARITY’S RESERVES POLICY**
In light of circumstances, in particular during the COVID-19 pandemic, as part of on-going policy the trustees have decided to amalgamate the previously designated funds with general funds, to apply from 31 December 2022.
The reserves are required to meet the objects of the Charity. Charity Commission guidelines require us to have reserves equivalent to three months’ operating costs. Due to the annually cyclical nature of our work, we are more comfortable with a higher figure, and reserves at the year end were £511,057 (2021: £888,652). All reserves are unrestricted funds.
## **INVESTMENT POLICY AND TARGET RETURN**
The charity has an investment committee comprising the chairman, vice-chairman and company secretary and up to two other members of council who meet as necessary and report regularly to the executive committee of the charity.
The aim of the committee is to manage investments conservatively, to obtain a balanced portfolio and a return in line with current market conditions and, in the long term, some capital gain.
To do this the committee makes use of the CCLA charity funds and has two portfolios of investments managed by two brokers, who submit regular reports and advice and meet with the investments committee.
## **RISK MANAGEMENT**
The trustees have an on-going policy of reviewing the major risks to which the charity is exposed and systems have been and are being established to mitigate those risks by means of increasing the weather independence of the shows, a major factor in their success. There are obviously factors beyond the control of the charity which may result in the cancellation or curtailment of shows.
A Health & Safety Officer is consulted leading up to and during all events to ensure the charity conforms with all current legislation.
Signed on behalf of the Council on 8 March 2023.

## **INDEPENDENT AUDITORS REPORT TO THE COUNCIL OF MANAGEMENT OF THE NORTH OF ENGLAND HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY**
## **OPINION ON THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS**
We have audited the financial statements of North of England Horticultural Society (the 'company') for the year ended 31 December 2022 which comprise the Income Statement, Other Comprehensive Income, Balance Sheet, Statement of Changes in Equity, Cash Flow Statement and Notes to the Cash Flow Statement, Notes to the Financial Statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards, including Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland' (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
In the previous accounting period, the members of the charity took advantage of audit exemption under s477 of the Companies Act. Therefore, the prior period financial statements were not subject to audit.
In our opinion the financial statements:
- give a true and fair view of the state of the company's affairs as at 31 December 2022;
- have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice; and
- have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006.
## **BASIS FOR OPINION**
We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors' responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the company in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the UK, including the FRC's Ethical Standard, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
## **CONCLUSIONS RELATING TO GOING CONCERN**
In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the trustees' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate.
Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.
Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the trustees with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report.
## **OTHER INFORMATION**
The trustees are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information in the Report of the Trustees, but does not include the financial statements and our Report of the Auditors thereon.
Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether this gives rise to a material misstatement in the financial statements themselves. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.
## **OPINIONS ON OTHER MATTERS PRESCRIBED BY THE COMPANIES ACT 2006**
In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of the audit:
- the information given in the Report of the Trustees for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements; and
- the Report of the Trustees has been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements.
## **MATTERS ON WHICH WE ARE REQUIRED TO REPORT BY EXCEPTION**
In the light of the knowledge and understanding of the company and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the Report of the Trustees.

## **(A REGISTERED CHARITY LIMITED BY GUARANTEE)**
## **INDEPENDENT AUDITORS REPORT TO THE COUNCIL OF MANAGEMENT OF THE NORTH OF ENGLAND HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY**
## **MATTERS ON WHICH WE ARE REQUIRED TO REPORT BY EXCEPTION CONTINUED**
We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters where the Companies Act 2006 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion: - adequate accounting records have not been kept, or returns adequate for our audit have not been received from branches not visited by us; or
- the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns; or
- certain disclosures of trustees' remuneration specified by law are not made; or
- we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit; or
- the trustees were not entitled to take advantage of the small companies' exemption from the requirement to prepare a Strategic Report or in preparing the Report of the Trustees.
## **RESPONSIBILITIES OF THE COUNCIL OF MANAGEMENT**
As explained more fully in the Council of Managements’ Responsibilities Statement, set out on page three, the Council of Management are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the financial statements, the directors are responsible for assessing the group’s and the parent company’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the directors either intend to liquidate the group or the parent company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.
## **AUDITOR’S RESPONSIBILITIES FOR THE AUDIT OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS**
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.
The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below:
We gained an understanding of the legal and regulatory framework applicable to the company and the industry in which it operates and considered the risk of acts by the company that were contrary to applicable laws and regulations, including fraud. We focused on laws and regulations which could give rise to a material misstatement in the financial statements, including, but not limited to, the Companies Act 2006 and UK tax legislation. Our tests included agreeing the financial statement disclosures to underlying supporting documentation, enquiries with management and the inspection of other regulatory and legal correspondence. We addressed the risk of management override of internal controls, including testing journals and estimates and evaluating whether there was evidence of bias by the directors that represented a risk of material misstatement due to fraud and the completeness of income recognition by testing the income from a database of members. We did not identify any key audit matters relating to irregularities, including fraud.
Because of the inherent limitations of an audit, there is a risk that we will not detect all irregularities, including those leading to a material misstatement in the financial statements or non-compliance with regulation. This risk increases the more that compliance with a law or regulation is removed from the events and transactions reflected in the financial statements, as we will be less likely to become aware of instances of noncompliance. The risk is also greater regarding irregularities occurring due to fraud rather than error, as fraud involves intentional concealment, forgery, collusion, omission or misrepresentation.
A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the Financial Reporting Council's website at www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our Report of the Auditors.
## **USE OF OUR REPORT**
This report is made solely to the company's members, as a body, in accordance with Chapter 3 of Part 16 of the Companies Act 2006. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the company's members those matters we are required to state to them in a Report of the Auditors and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the company and the company's members as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

**THE NORTH OF ENGLAND HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY (A REGISTERED CHARITY LIMITED BY GUARANTEE)**
## **NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2022**
## **1 STATUTORY INFORMATION**
The North of England Horticultural Society is a private company, limited by guarantee, registered in England and Wales. The company's registered number and registered office address can be found on the Company Information page. The charity is a public benefit entity. In the event of the charity being wound up, the liability in respect of the guarantee is limited to £1 per member of the charity.
## **2 ACCOUNTING POLICIES**
## **Basis of preparation**
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019) - (Charities SORP (FRS 102)), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102), the Companies Act 2006 and the Charities Act 2011.
The North of England Horticultural Society meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102. Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy note(s).
## **Basis of Consolidation**
These financial statements consolidate the results of the charity and its wholly owned subsidiary, Harrogate Flower Show Limited, on a line by line basis. A separate Statement of Financial Activities, or income and expenditure account, for the charity itself is not presented because the charity has taken advantage of the exemptions afforded by Section 408 of the Companies Act 2006
## **Going Concern**
The trustees are of the view that there are no material uncertainties about the charity's ability to continue, and the accounts have therefore been prepared on a going concern basis.
## **Incoming resources**
Income is the amount derived from the provision of goods and services, and stated after trade discounts, other sales taxes and VAT.
_Trading income_
Income from commercial activities is included in the period in which the group is entitled to receipt. Income received for next year's shows is treated as deferred income.
## _Subscriptions and donations_
Income from subscriptions and donations is included in incoming resources when they are receivable.
_Investment income_
Interest earned by the charity is included in the Statement of Financial Activities when the charity is legally entitled to the income and the amount can be quantified with reasonable accuracy. Dividends are brought to account in the Statement of Financial Activities when
## **Resources expended**
Resources expended are included in the Statement of Financial Activities on an accruals basis, inclusive of any VAT which cannot be recovered. Expenditure which is directly attributable to specific activities has been included in these cost categories. Where costs are attributable to more than one activity, they have been apportioned across categories on a basis consistent with the use of these resources.
## **Finance and operating leases**
Rentals applicable to operating leases are charged to the Statement of Financial Activities over the period they are incurred. Assets obtained under finance leases are capitalised as tangible fixed assets. Obligations under such leases are included in creditors net of finance charge allocated to future periods. The finance element of each payment is charged to the Statement of Financial Activities so as to produce a constant periodic rate on the net obligation outstanding in each period.
## **Depreciation of tangible fixed assets**
Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off each asset, other than cups, medals, trophies and plaques, over its useful life:
All classes of fixed assets are included at historical cost and assets below a value of £500 are not considered material and so not capitalised. Impairment reviews occur when there is an indication that the assets may be impaired.
Fixtures and fittings: 10-15% per annum on cost Motor Vehicles: 20% per annum on cost Show ground improvements: Over 9 years on a straight line basis Website Development: 25% per annum on cost
## **Investments**
Investments are stated at market value at the balance sheet date. The Statement of Financial Activities includes the net gains and losses arising on revaluations and disposals throughout the year
## **Irrecoverable VAT**
The charity and its trading subsidiary are VAT registered and are partially exempt. VAT is reclaimed where possible and any irrecoverable VAT is taken to the Income and Expenditure account.

**THE NORTH OF ENGLAND HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY (A REGISTERED CHARITY LIMITED BY GUARANTEE)**
## **NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2022**
## **2 ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued**
## **Fund accounting**
Funds held by the charity are either: _Unrestricted general funds_ , which are funds which can be used in accordance with the charitable objects at the discretion of the Council of Management.
_Designated funds_ , which are funds set aside by the Council of Management out of unrestricted general funds for specific future purposes.
## **Government grants**
Government grants related to the purchase of assets are treated as deferred income and allocated to the profit and loss account over the useful lives of the related assets while grants related to expenses are recognised in the profit and loss account when received.
## **Debtors**
Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount due after any trade discount offered. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid net of any trade discounts due.
## **Cash at bank and in hand**
Cash at bank and cash in hand includes cash and short term highly liquid investments with a short maturity of three months or less from the date of acquisition or opening of the deposit or similar account.
## **Creditors and provisions**
Creditors and provisions are recognised where the charity has a present obligation resulting from a past event that will probably result in the transfer of funds to a third party and the amount due to settle the obligation can be measured or estimated reliably. Creditors and provisions are normally recognised at their settlement amount after allowing for any trade discounts due.
## **Financial Instruments**
The trust only has financial assets and financial liabilities of a kind that qualify as basic financial instruments. Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at transaction value and subsequently measured at their settlement value.
## **Support costs**
Support costs are those functions that assist the work of the charity but do not directly undertake charitable activities.
## **Pension costs and other post-retirement benefits**
The company operates a defined contribution pension scheme. Contributions payable to the company's pension scheme are charged to the profit and loss account in the period to which they relate.
The contributions made for the accounting period are treated as an expense and were £7,462 (2021: £6,453)
The contributions are treated as Costs of generating funds and are trading expenses of the subsidiary. They form part of the unrestricted funds of the group.
## **Related parties**
As the company prepares publicly available consolidated financial statements, the company has taken advantage of the available exemption and has therefore not disclosed transactions or balances with its wholly owned subsidiaries.
## **Charitable expenditure**
During the shows, the subsidiary promotes horticulture on behalf of the parent charity through a variety of means, including exhibitions, displays and sponsorship. The group deems that part of the costs of hosting the shows is charitable expenditure, and separately identifies such expenses.
