Support of the activities of the Derby Bach Choir and other musical activities in the Derby and East Midlands area.
Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts
The accounts state that the charity reported a surplus of £13,364.36 for the year, largely driven by a one-off legacy deposit, while core income excluding the legacy showed a deficit of £787.15. The independent examiner noted that concert activities resulted in a loss of £8,330.77, which is being financed by other income sources, and raised questions about the sustainability of this trend on reserves. The trustees are considering allocating £6,000 from reserves to marketing to address declining ticket sales and increasing costs.
