Organisation.
The Trustees who have served during the year are detailed on the
return.
Public Benef it.
The Trustees believe that both our purposes and the activities
undertaken in this last financial year clearly satisfy elements of the
public benefit requirement.
Statement of Public Benefit.
Killylea Silver Band currently provide musical tuition primarily in
brass and percussion. Additionally, we organise a range of activities
such as educational and information classes, arts and crafts etc. to
reduce isolation, improve quality of life and build skills.
The Charity's main direct benefit from the above will be to build
confidence, improve knowledge and understanding enabling
everyone to take a more active role in the community in which they
live. It enables people to engage in musical and social activity,
thereby learning new skills and affording them the opportunity to
further develop interaction within the local community. The
beneficiaries are those people living in the Killylea area and its
surrounding communities. The benefits are evidenced by regular
feedback from members and participants in the learning and tuition
programmes. This purpose does not give rise to any harm to the
beneficiaries.

2022 saw our activities all back to normal. We continued to hold
normal practices for both experienced players and learners. We also
attended parades, church services and Christmas events including
the Georgian Day in Armagh City. Our drama group also were up and
running and during this year put on two performances of their 3 Act
Comedy'where there's A Will"

Reporting Council in the UK, including Charities SORP (FRS102).
Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statements of Recommended
Practice applicable in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland
{FRS 102) and promulgated by the Institute of Chartered Accountants

Trustees must not approve the financial statements unless they are
satisfied that they give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of
the charity and of the financial activities of the charity for that
period.
