Report of the Trustees |
for the Year Ended 31st December 2018 |
The trustees, who are also directors of the charity for the purposes of the Companies Act 2006, present their report with |
the financial statement of the charity for the year ended 31 December 2018. The trustees have adopted the provisions of |
Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their |
accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) |
(effective 1 January 2015.) |
|
The Elgar Foundation, which was incorporated in 1973 as a company limited by guarantee without a share capital |
(registered number 01147282) is also a registered charity (No. 266849). In accordance with Section 61 of the |
Companies Act 2006, the company is exempt from the requirements of that Act to include "Limited" as part of its name. |
It operates in conjunction with its sister charity, The Elgar Birthplace Trust, of which it is the sole trustee. |
|
OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES |
Objectives and aims |
The objectives for which the Foundation was established are: |
|
1 To promote in every part of the world public education in and appreciation of the life and works of the late Sir Edward |
Elgar; |
|
2 To promote in every part of the world the publication of any kind of work on or about the late Sir Edward Elgar; |
|
3 To maintain and preserve or assist in the maintenance and preservation of the Birthplace of the late Sir Edward Elgar, |
the Elgar Centre and neighbouring buildings at Lower Broadheath Worcestershire (hereinafter called 'the Birthplace') |
and any other property used or connected with the Birthplace or otherwise of national interest connected with the late Sir |
Edward Elgar; |
|
4 To provide and maintain for the benefit of the nation a public museum, archive and library of musical scores, |

Report of the Trustees |
for the Year Ended 31st December 2018 |
ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE |
Charitable activities |
The Governing Body met in London on one occasion during the year, and the Management Committee held two further |
formal meetings. The Governing Body also received a report from the Director of Elgar Foundation Enterprises. |
Because of the complexities of negotiations between the trustees, The National Trust and The British Museum, and |
those caused by dealing with the press, TV, mail and social media campaigns surrounding the proposed transfer of the |
research archive to The British Library, much further business was conducted through email correspondence. |
|
Day-to-day management of The Birthplace (now known as The Firs) continued to be handled by The National Trust. By |
the date of the AGM it was possible to report that in the first year of their stewardship visitor numbers had exceeded |
25,000. |
|
As reported last year, in line with Charity Commission advice, the Foundation commissioned an independent Working |
Group to advise on the future of the archival and other collections then housed at the Birthplace under conditions that |
would need considerable financial investment to be brought up to present-day standards of cataloguing, security and |
protection against fire. Moreover, neither the foundation nor the National Trust could envisage affording to maintain the |
archive and to employ a conservator/archivist in the future at an estimated cost of around £60,000 per year. The |
Working Group considered various possibilities for relocating the collections and recommended that the British Library |
offered the best possibilities for preserving the research archive and promoting it both nationally and around the world. A |
further consideration that had to be taken into account was that under a provision of the will of Elgar's daughter Carice |
Elgar-Blake, who had left 'to the Trustees of the Elgar Birthplace all manuscripts scores and other papers now or |
hereafter kept or lodged at the Birthplace including the Second Symphony', that should the legatees not wish to retain |
the materials bequeathed by her, then 'all other manuscripts belonging to me whether in my possession or still with the |
publishers or elsewhere and all manuscripts now on loan to the British Museum [now the British Library] and any of the |
above mentioned manuscripts which the legatees may not wish to retain to the Trustees of the British Museum to be |
added and included with the Museum's collection of musical manuscripts and to be available to the public for perusal |
under the usual conditions.' |
|
Following the decision of the Board that it should accept the recommendation of the Working Group, that the research |
archive element of the Birthplace collections - i.e. chiefly its music manuscripts and letters - should be transferred to The |
British Library, nevertheless, at the request of Dr. Adrian Gregson of the Worcestershire Archive and Archaeology |
Service (WAAS) that further consideration be given to depositing the research archive with WAAS at The Hive, and |
following the advice of The National Archive, the Foundation prepared a questionnaire to be answered by both The |
British Library and WAAS. The responses to the questionnaire confirmed the Board's original decision to transfer the |
research archive to The British Library, leaving at The Firs all those items from the collections used for display purposes |
in the cottage and museum. The greater part of the research archive was transferred on 27 June 2018, and the |
remainder, following further discussion with The National Trust on 14 November, was transferred in early December. |
The Foundation is now assisting the British Library in re-cataloguing material transferred from the Birthplace so that it |
can be made available to the public through the Library's on-line resources. |
|
Elgar Foundation Enterprises |
As the National Trust has now taken over trading activities at the Birthplace, Elgar Foundation Enterprises has |
suspended its operations and closed its bank account. |
|
Conclusion |
The Elgar Foundation continues to work with the National Trust and The British Library to promote Elgar's music. |

Independent examiner's report to the trustees of The Elgar Foundation ('the Company') |
I
report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Company for the
year
ended
31st December 2018 . |
|
Responsibilities and basis of report |
As the charity's trustees of the Company (and also its directors for the purposes of company law) you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 ('the 2006 Act'). |
|
Having satisfied myself that the accounts of the Company are not required to be audited under Part 16 of the 2006 Act and are eligible for independent examination, I report in respect of my examination of your charity's accounts as carried out under section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 ('the 2011 Act').

|
Independent examiner's statement |
I have completed my examination. I confirm that no matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe: |
|
1. | accounting records were not kept in respect of the Company as required by section 386 of the 2006 Act; or |
2. | the accounts do not accord with those records; or |
3. | the accounts do not comply with the accounting requirements of section 396 of the 2006 Act other than any requirement that the accounts give a true and fair view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination; or |
4. | the accounts have not been prepared in accordance with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice for accounting and reporting by charities [applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102)]. |

|
FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS |
Financial instruments are recognised when the charity becomes party to contractual provisions of the instrument. |

right to set off the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or to realise the asset |
and settle the liability simultaneously. |
|
Basic Financial Assets |

measured at the present value of the future receipts discounted at a market rate of interest. |
|
Basic Financial Liabilities |
Basic Financial Liabilities, including trade and other payables, are initially recognised at transaction price unless |
