Charity Status

The Leciester Bach Choir is a registered charity, number: 501890

We have a stated aim to educate the public about Choral Music.

 

Gift Aid

The Choir is a Registered Charity under UK law, which allows it to reclaim the tax you have already paid on your membership and any other donation under the Gift Aid Scheme.You can help the Choir increase its funds by signing the Gift Aid Declaration on the membership form, but only if you are a UK tax payer.

How it works

Full membership of the Choir is £120 per year. If you pay tax on any income be it salary, investments, pension or other income the Choir can claim back from Revenue & Customs an additional £33.60 at no cost to you.
Subscriptions and donations to Charities are tax exempt, we can therefore claim back the income tax you have already paid to Revenue & Customs on the amount you pay the Choir.
Each year we send a list of names and addresses and the amounts paid by members to Revenue & Customs. Once processed by Revenue & Customs we are sent a cheque for what we have claimed.
This money is then used to further the aims of the Charity.

Officers

We have 5 officers who are responsible for running the choir:

Concert Manager Judith Dorward	Chair Jennifer Clegg	Vice-Chair Charles Paterson	Secretary Nicki Little	Treasurer Mike Randle
Trustee & Minute Secretary Angela Finch	Trustee Tom Hanley	Trustee Maggie Ridgewell	Trustee Caroline Brook	President Joanne Lunn

Management Committee

We have a management committee comprised of the Officers and Trustees. The committee meets on a regular basis and holds an Annual General Meeting in September each year.
Any member who would like an issue raised at a committee meeting should contact the Secretary in writing one week before the meeting. The Director of music is an ex occifio member. The choir also has a distinguished President, Joanne Lunn, who comes from Leicester and has been a significant supporter of LBC.

Date of next meeting:
