THE ENGLISH ARTS CHORALE ASSOCIATION
The principal activity of the English Arts Chorale Association is the education of the public in the art and appreciation of music. This is achieved through the activities of the English Arts Chorale, a voluntary choir, whose auditions are open to all, which delivers a programme of concerts and activities both for the community of Reigate and across the south-east of England.
Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts
The accounts state that unrestricted funds increased slightly from £27,392 to £28,493, resulting in a net income of £1,101 for the year. The trustees confirm the charity is a going concern with a reasonable expectation of continuing in operational existence for the foreseeable future. The charity's gross income did not exceed £250,000, qualifying it for an independent examination rather than a full audit.
