| Report of the Trustees |
| for the Year Ended 31st December 2025 |
| The trustees who are also directors of the charity for the purposes of the Companies Act 2006, present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31st December 2025. The trustees have adopted the provisions of 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). |
| OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES |
| Objectives and Activities |
| The objects of the Charity, as set out in the Memorandum and Articles of Association, are to promote the appreciation of the relationship between the arts and all aspects of medicine and to educate the public in the ways in which the arts may be used to protect and preserve health. |
| Organisation and Funding |
| The charity operates from the homes of the members and its registered office. The main funding for ARCH continues to come from musical events and Garden Open Days, hosted by our Chairman, Baroness Sweerts de Landas Wyborgh, at Dunsborough Park, as well as from the sale of promotional items commemorating the musical events. Additional funding comes from friends of ARCH, for which we are most grateful. |
| Public Benefit |
| In setting objectives and planning activities for the current and future years the Trustees have had regard to the Charity Commission's general guidance on public benefit. |
| Review of the Developments, Activities and Achievements during the year |
| 2025 was not a major fundraising year for the charity. However, the April, June and September garden open days at Dunsborough Park together with donations raised just over £2,500 for ARCH. Overall, another 6 charities were invited to fundraise throughout the year and made a combined profit of over £5,500. |
| Eleven Christmas concerts were performed in the Home Counties at Limegrove, East Horsley; Dene Place, West Horsley; Sheerwater House, Woking; Oakcroft, West Byfleet; Norfolk House, Weybridge; Sutton Lodge, Weybridge; West Hall, West Byfleet, Charrington Manor, West Byfleet and two new venues at Moore Place, Esher and Burwood Grange, Weybridge. |
| Our loyal band of ARCH musicians plus a few new performers entertained residents and staff by playing varied repertoires of music, both beautiful classical and lighter contemporary pieces, some of which involved popular participation. Their skills and empathy with the audiences are found to be very positive and uplifting and were much appreciated by all who attended. Our new venues were delighted with the concerts and the pleasure ARCH gave their residents. |
| Grateful thanks are extended from all the Trustees to our talented musicians and our loyal volunteers for their continued support of ARCH. |
| Financial Review |
| Funds available to the Charity are adequate to fulfil current financial obligations, but ARCH is dependent on the continuing active support of its members to meet its long-term objectives. |
| Investment Powers |
| The Memorandum and Articles of Association of the company permit the investment of money not immediately required for its objects in any investments, as may be thought fit. |
| Reserves Policy |
| ARCH has a policy of keeping sufficient reserves to support its ongoing activity for at least one year. It is the intention of the Trustees to establish an Endowment Fund and additional Unrestricted Funds are currently being retained for this purpose. At the year end the charity held reserves of £127,406 (2024: £124,270), all of which were unrestricted. |
| FINANCIAL REVIEW |
| Going concern |
| The accounts are prepared on the going concern basis as no material uncertainty over going concern exists. |
| STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT |
| Governing document |
| The charity is controlled by its governing document, a deed of trust, and constitutes a limited company, limited by guarantee, as defined by the Companies Act 2006. |

| Notes to the Financial Statements |
| for the Year Ended 31st December 2025 |
| 1. | ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
| Basis of preparing the financial statements |
| The financial statements of the charitable company, which is a public benefit entity under FRS 102, have been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102) '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)', Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland' and the Companies Act 2006. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention. |
| Income |
| All income is recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities once the charity has entitlement to the funds, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably. |
| Expenditure |
| Liabilities are recognised as expenditure as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to that expenditure, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all cost related to the category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources. |
| Taxation |
| The charity is exempt from corporation tax on its charitable activities. |
| Fund accounting |
| Unrestricted funds can be used in accordance with the charitable objectives at the discretion of the trustees. |
| Restricted funds can only be used for particular restricted purposes within the objects of the charity. Restrictions arise when specified by the donor or when funds are raised for particular restricted purposes. |
| Further explanation of the nature and purpose of each fund is included in the notes to the financial statements. |
| Donated goods |
| Donated auction lots are included as income in the financial statements at the estimated value of the goods donated. A corresponding amount is included within charitable expenditure. |
| Interest receivable |
| Interest on funds held on deposit is included when receivable and the amount can be measured reliably by the charity. This is normally upon notification of the interest payable by the deposit holder. |
| Financial Instruments |
| Cash and bank |
| Cash and bank comprises cash on hand and funds held on deposit. |
| Trade debtors |
| Trade debtors are amounts due from customers for the provision of services sold in the ordinary course of operations. |
| Trade debtors are recognised initially at the transaction price and represent the full value of the services charged to customers, including any amounts charged on for third parties. |
| Trade creditors |
| Trade creditors are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of business from suppliers. |
| Accounts payable are classified as current liabilities if the company does not have an unconditional right, at the end of the reporting period, to defer settlement of the creditor for at least twelve months after the reporting date. If there is an unconditional right to defer settlement for at least twelve months after the reporting date they are presented as non current liabilities. |
| Provisions and contingencies |
| Provisions are recognised when the company has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of past events; it is probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation; and the amount of the obligation can be estimated reliably. |
