TRUSTEES' REPORT

The Trustees present their annual report together with the financial statements of the Hatfield House Chamber Music Festival for the  1 January 2023 to 31 December 2023The Annual report serves the purposes of both a Trustees' report and a directors' report under company law. The Trustees confirm that the Annual report and financial statements of the charitable company comply with the current statutory requirements, the requirements of the charitable company's governing document and the provisions of the Statement of Recommended Practice (SORP) applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS102) (effective 1 January 2019). 
 

Since the Company qualifies as small under section 382 of the Companies Act 2006, the Strategic report required of medium and large companies under the Companies Act 2006 (Strategic Report and Directors' Report) Regulations 2013 has been omitted.
 

Objectives and activities

The charity's objects are to promote and advance the education and appreciation of the public generally in the study and practice of music and similar arts, in particular by means of presenting an annual music festival and other events.
 

In setting objectives and planning for activities, the Trustees have given due consideration to general guidance published by the Charity Commission relating to public benefit, including the guidance 'Public benefit: running a charity (PB2)'.
 

b. Activities undertaken to achieve objectives
 

The policies adopted in furtherance of these objects are the design, marketing and presentation of musical and other arts events. Most events take place at Hatfield House Estate and there has been no change in these during the year.

Achievements and performance
 

a. Review of activities
 

In 2023 the Festival continued in its usual format with a full programme of concert and talks held at venues in Hatfield House and in its grounds over a 4 day long weekend. The Festival’s theme was A Family Affair which explored musical connections with the Salisbury family, links between composers, Festival musicians and the works being performed, as well as reaching out to the wider Festival family amongst the audience and community.

The 2023 artists were made up of great friends, a married couple, and siblings: the Orsino Winds, Kaleidoscope Chamber Collective, Julian Bliss Jazz Quintet, Johnston Brothers, Bevan Family, Ruby Hughes, Huw Watkins, Ben Goldscheider, vocal consort Ensemble Pro Victoria and the Orion Orchestra. The programme was also punctuated with interesting pre-concert talks given by writer, broadcaster and lecturer Stephen Johnson. European String Teachers Association (ESTA) hosted a day of wellness workshops and discussion alongside the Festival and overlapped with an In Conversation session between Kadiatu Kanneh-Mason and Guy Johnston’s mother, Gillian Johnston, where they talked about raising a musical family. 

As always education played an important role over the weekend. The activity comprised Schools concerts, a Family Concert, workshops, both in schools and also in the Festival venues, and a new venture for 2023, the Hatfield House Chamber Music Festival Youth Choir who performed alongside a professional orchestra and soloists as part of the Festival Finale in a performance of Haydn’s Creation.
 
Ticket sales were still down on pre-Covid levels, which was disappointing, but efforts are continuing to bring in new audiences and to build upon existing partnerships to spread the word about the Festival.

Financial review
 

a. Going concern
 

After making appropriate enquiries, the Trustees have a reasonable expectation that the Company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence. For this reason, they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements. 

b. Reserves policy
 

The Trustees intend to hold sufficient reserves to cover 3 months operating costs, which relate mainly to the cost of the Festival Manager.
 

c. Financial review
 

Income decreased to £77,357 (2022 £94,926) and the charity made an overall deficit in the year of £10,199 (2022 £2,591). Funding specifically for education and schools activities was lower than in 2023 resulting in a deficit on restricted activities. This deficit has been offset by a transfer of funds from unrestricted reserves. Overall reserves are £19,685.

 

Structure, governance and management
 

a. Constitution
 

Hatfield House Chamber Music Festival is registered as a charitable company limited by guarantee and was set up by a Memorandum of Association.
 

b. Methods of appointment or election of Trustees
 

The management of the Company is the responsibility of the Trustees who are elected and co-opted under the terms of the Articles of Association.
 

c. Organisational structure and decision-making policies
 

The Trustees of the charity manage the business and appoint a Festival Manager and an Education and Outreach Manager to organise and run the annual event.
 

d. Financial risk management
 
 
The Trustees have assessed the major risks to which the Company is exposed, in particular those related to the operations and finances of the Company, and are satisfied that systems and procedures currently in place and those agreed to be implemented in the future will mitigate exposure to major risks.

Plans for future periods
 

The Hatfield House Chamber Music Festival entered a new era at the beginning of 2024 by initiating a change of name, to appear on the website and all publicity, marketing and outreach material. The word ‘chamber’ was dropped, better to reflect the range of music performed and also to make the Festival more accessible to those who may find the idea of chamber music daunting. The Festival dates have also moved a fortnight later for this year (10-13 October) and for the future, to increase interaction with local schools, giving them more time after the summer holiday to prepare for the education and outreach programme. This continues to be an integral part of the Festival’s offer to the local community. 
The board of trustees appointed a new chair - with experience in planning and programming at BBC Radio 3 and the BBC Proms - and a new trustee at the beginning of 2024. Particular 
responsibilitie  were then identified for each of the trustees and subgroups were set up to streamline the activities of the board and to report back regularly.
The significant deficit suffered by the Festival in 2023 has impressed on the trustees the need to make the business model more resilient and less susceptible to the fluctuations of the financial climate. The trustees aim to safeguard the remaining reserves and in time rebuild them to provide security. The current climate for the arts in the UK is tough but having survived Covid and the cost-of-living crisis, the trustees feel renewed determination to keep the Festival going. Fundraising therefore remains key. Grant income is increasingly hard to come by, due to high demand in a competitive environment, but individual donations have held strong as Festival Friends understand the vital need for support.
The Hatfield House Music Festival, as it is now called, remains true to its core beliefs in bringing together top musicians for an intense weekend of quality music making. The following developmental measures are in train: 
 
1.Engaging key artists further in advance to ensure continued quality and enable longer term financial planning. For instance, celebrated pianist, Imogen Cooper, is already booked for 2025.
2.Emphasising the link with the house itself and the support of the Salisbury family, which remain as strong as ever, and future themes will increasingly take account of this. In 2025 for instance, for example, there will be a focus on Handel’s connections with the family. 
3.Having fewer artists in residence in future to minimise the challenges and costs of finding local accommodation.
4.Programming more one-off concerts which increase the variety and appeal of programming, including the regular showcasing of emerging artists to introduce the stars of the future - which can also be attractive to potential sources of funding. 
5.Improving the publicity for the Festival, its presence on social media and its links with other musical organisations and influential individuals in the music world, both locally and elsewhere. This also involves seizing new opportunities to widen the appeal of the Festival in Hertfordshire, neighbouring counties and North London. 
6.Working to identify and bring in additional individual donors and Patrons. 
7.Broadening the financial base with corporate tie-ups through local Hatfield House contacts and group bookings with bespoke hospitality packages which offer a high-end experience in this unique venue. 
The intention is that all these steps will help assure greater financial stability, increase audience numbers and extend the age profile of the Festival.  

Members' liability
 

The Members of the Company guarantee to contribute an amount not exceeding £1 to the assets of the Company in the event of winding up.

Statement of Trustees' responsibilities
 

The Trustees (who are also the directors of the Company for the purposes of company law) are responsible for preparing the Trustees' report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).


Company law requires the Trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year. Under company law, the 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 Company and of its incoming resources and application of resources, including its income and expenditure, for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the Trustees are required to:

select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
observe the methods and principles of the Charities SORP (FRS 102);
make judgments and accounting estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
state whether applicable UK Accounting Standards (FRS 102) have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements;
prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the Company will continue in business.


The Trustees are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain the Company's transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the Company and 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 for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

Cash at bank and 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.


2.6

Liabilities and provisions

Liabilities are recognised when there is an obligation at the Balance sheet date as a result of a past event, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefit will be required in settlement, and the amount of the settlement can be estimated reliably.

Liabilities are recognised at the amount that the Company anticipates it will pay to settle the debt or the amount it has received as advanced payments for the goods or services it must provide.

Provisions are measured at the best estimate of the amounts required to settle the obligation. Where the effect of the time value of money is material, the provision is based on the present value of those amounts, discounted at the pre-tax discount rate that reflects the risks specific to the liability. The unwinding of the discount is recognised in the Statement of financial activities as a finance cost.

  
2.7

Financial instruments

The Company 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 with the exception of bank loans which are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

  
2.8

Fund accounting

General funds are unrestricted funds which are available for use at the discretion of the Trustees in furtherance of the general objectives of the Company and which have not been designated for other purposes.

Restricted funds are funds which are to be used in accordance with specific restrictions imposed by donors or which have been raised by the Company for particular purposes. The costs of raising and administering such funds are charged against the specific fund. The aim and use of each restricted fund is set out in the notes to the financial statements.
