ENFIELD CHORAL SOCIETY
PRESENTATION OF PUBLIC CHORAL CONCERTS AND RECITALS
Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts
The accounts state that the charity reported a net loss of £6,693 for the year ended 31 August 2025, resulting in a reduction of total funds from £24,582 to £17,889. The trustees note that the continuing inflationary situation and the costs of ambitious concerts reduced reserves, and that the society's activities continue to rely on member loyalty and enthusiasm. The reserves policy targets maintaining cash reserves equalling 25%-50% of annual expenditure, but the current unrestricted general fund balance of £15,653 is below the lower end of this target range.
