The Committee holds several meetings a year and is responsible for deciding what bank and building society accounts the Society should hold, and for approving levels of expenditure and reserves. ## **Objectives and activities** ## _Objects_ The objects of the Society are to "promote, improve, develop and maintain public education in and appreciation of the art and science of music in all its aspects by the presentation of public concerts and recitals and by such other ways as the Society through its committee may decide from time to time". In planning our activities the Committee have considered the Charity Commission's guidance on Public Benefit including the guidance on public benefit and fee charging. The Society relies on income from ticket sales and subscriptions to cover its running costs. In setting the level of ticket sales, membership subscriptions and the concessionary rates, the Committee gives careful consideration to those on low incomes.

It represent the value of concert ticket sales, members' subscriptions and donations receivable in the ordinary course of activities. Voluntary income received by way of donations and gifts to the charity is included in full in the Statement of Financial Activities when received. Costs of raising funds comprise those operational costs directly attributable to promotional activities and the running of raffles and refreshments Charitable activities include the costs of termly rehearsals, the staging of concerts and termly events. Governance costs are those incurred in connection with the running of the Society as opposed to its charitable activity. ## (c) Concerts and other fund-raising events Each event is separately identified and all relevant income and expenditure allocated thereto. ## (d) Restricted and unrestricted Funds Restricted funds are to be used for specific purposes as laid down by the donors. Expenditure which meets this criterion is allocated to a restricted fund. Unrestricted funds are donations and other income received or raised for the charity's purposes. Page 6 ## **Streatham Choral Society - registration no. 802195 Notes to the accounts ctd** ## **Membership subscriptions** The year is divided into three terms for each of which members pays subscriptions at rates set by the Committee.

Membership numbers fluctuate - the winter terms normally attract more singers than the summer term, and the nature of the programme can also have an impact on how many attend rehearsals. ## **Committee members' expenses** Committee members are not paid. Members are reimbursed for expenses they properly incur on behalf of the Society. ## **Taxation** All the Society's trading activities are exercised in carrying out its primary charitable purposes, and any resulting profits are applied for these purposes. Accordingly these profits are exempt from taxation under Section 505 of the Income and Corporation Taxes Act 1988. ## **Related party transactions** The trustees confirm that as far as they are aware, having made due enquiry, there have been no related party transactions during the year which would require disclosure under FRS102.
