Report of the Trustees

FINANCIAL REVIEW
Principal funding sources
Sonic Bothy continued to receive multi-year funding from the Glasgow Communities Fund and The
People's Postcode Trust. The charity carries long-standing partnerships with Glasgow Life, AC Projects,
Sound Festival, and Glasgow Improvisers Orchestra. The charity secured funds from Trusts and
Foundations, with new and existing funders providing support, including Chamber Music Scotland's
Classical EDI Development Fund, The Cruden Foundation, The Garfield Weston Foundation, The
Hinrichsen Foundation, The Hugh Fraser Foundation, The W. A. Cargill Charitable Trust and The William
Syson Foundation.
This financial statement presents a significant gap in total income £1 01,736 and expenditure £205,316 due
to the unexpected delay in the timing of the decisions made by Creative Scotland for its Multi-year Fund
2025-28, and which consequently resulted in mandatory withdrawal of a pending project funding
application to Creative Scotland for 2024-25. Sonic Bothy was subsequently awarded the Creative Scotland
Multi-year Fund for all activities from 1st April 2025. This secured a much-deserved financial stability.
Reserves poli¢y
The trustees have stated that the reserves should equate to 3 months of ongoing costs for the charity, funds
to be designated for expenditure needed to wind up the charity and for short-term cash flow issues. The
trustees have set this figure at £35,699, and management and tlie Board have formulated a plan to bolster
reserves through fundraising over the next 18 months. Reserves currently stand at £21,869.
FUTURE PLANS
The trustees aim to further develop and build on the existing stravRds of Sonic Bothy's activity. increasing
opportunities for musicians with disabilities and neurodiversity to create and profile their work individually
and Collaboratively.
Future plans include strengthening the mentorship strand to support artistic and personal development of
our regular participants with ASLN, and contributing to increasing visibility of Disabled artists, works.
Sonic Bothy will continue to deliver the core programme, as well as recruiting new participant members
with ASLN to the Sonic Bothy Ensemble.
Sonic Bothy will maintain close relationsliips with Creative Scotland as the main funder of our activities,
and contribute to their aspirations in promoting Equality, Diversity, and Inclusivity in the arts sector.
The trustees and the management are constantly reviewing skills and knowledge within Sonic Bothy and
looking to further strengthen its offering. We are looking to reciuit more trustees to expand on skills and
knowledge for the charity.
