What the accounts disclose
“Ticket sales totalled £14,957” — page 7
“The Trustees’ general overall objective is to seek to maintain reserves at such a level that, excluding gains or losses on investments, the income generated for a year, taking one year with another, meets the cost of charitable expenditure to support the Society’s aims.” — page 7
“The Society is closely related to the Amersham Festival Society, a charity which has similar objects to the Society’s and whose previous Artistic Director is the Society’s Musical Director. In 2025, as in 2024 the Amersham Festival Society acted as the agent for advance booking sales for the Society’s concerts, paying over to the Society the sales proceeds net of booking fees it incurred. In 2025 the Amersham Festival Society also acted as the Society’s agent in paying orchestra members and soloists who performed at the Society’s concerts, being reimbursed by the Society. This was also as in the previous year.” — page 5
