MERTON MUSIC FOUNDATION CHAIR'S INTRODUCTION For the yearended 31 August 2025 Chair's Introduction This past year has been a period of signifi&￿t change for Merton Music Foundation IMMF), with (among other things, but of particular note) the retirement of the CEO and the Chair of Trustees, both of whom were longstanding and contributed significantly during their time to the growth and etlios of MMF. MMF has been in the privileged position io be able to fill both of these roles with internal candidates, which has helped to ensure continuity and consistency. In respeKt of its new CEO, the Board appointed David Rees, the then-COO who had been with MMF for a number of )'ears and already been the engineer bchind a number of impi)rtant changes, from among%t a strong field of applicants. Alongside other staffing changes, iiicluding anotlier inteTnal promotion, MMF has also been able to reorgani5e its Iniddle leadership structure, M'hich has increased capacity and enabled the development of two new role5.' an Enseinbles & Tuition Leader and a Conimuiiitie5 & Partnersliip Leader. The positive impact of tliis Iiew Staffing st￿CtUre was felt throughout the latter half of the yeai, Iwith all signs pointing to enga¥emei)t and reath coiitinuing to ¥rtsw in 2025-26 as a result. As to performance generally, the Board is delighted that participation and engagement in instrumental learning rose approximately 30/0 diiring this time compared to the previous year, whilst a range of significant new activities and special projects were delivered- including MMF'S first SENt>inclusive ensemble. MMF ha5 settled into its new role as a Local Delivery Partner and consortium member of the new Southwest Londo Music Hub ai)d we continue to work closely with colleagues and counterparts in our geographic area to deliver the Local Plan tor Music Education. MMF also look the opportunity to furthcr develop its ideniitw as an indepcndent charity thraugh the developinent of a neiv regular giving and ambas%adors progrdmmes. linked to our TEMPO Fund (Trainin& Education, Musical Pri)gression & Opportunity). The Fund has LFradually uToMqi and was able to 5UPPOrt subsidised access to leaming foT a tar(Teted iTroup of pupils who would not othenvise have been elibTible for mean5-te5ted support under the existin¥F subsidy Scheme. The Fund has also contributed towards the Re50nance Ensemble pilot project, which denionstrated the viabilitv of - and need for- an accessible ensemble as part of MMF'S overall provision. We are deligh￿d that the Resonance Ensemble will continue in 2025-26 with support from the London Music Fund. and we are excited 10 see how ihe Fund coniinues to grow and impact meaningfully on access and progression opportunities for young people locallv. In temis of performances and special projects, it has been another busy year. We were delighted to return to tlie Wimbledon Championships with our senior concert band and jazz orchestrd to perfonn for visitors at the semi-finals, as has been a traditioii for MMF for over two decade5. Other hi￿li￿tS have included the expansion of our youth-led sun)Iner festival event, renamed 'Lift oty,, and Coordinated m05t ably by meinbers of our own Youth CounLil., welcoming back our friends from Jazz at Lincoln Centre in New York for a series of school workshops,. and an outdoor perfom)ance at Morden Hall Park, in collaboration w'ith the Naiional Trusi. The Board would like specifically to cg11 out the joyous close to the Mini Musicians pilot programme during our"Sing Out Your Story" Key Stage I festival in Julv. This inclusive proje¢t has been hugely successful in reaching almost 700 cliildren across 10 primary aiid special schools in Merton. Researcliers fron) the University of Roehampton are conipiling a report on the impact of the pro¥raiMnie on children'5 musical and wider acadeillic attainnient, and fundin¥ has already bteii Secured for a one-year le¥aLy pro¥riimine iii 2025-26. The le¥acy project will see foul new sLhools .join the programme for specialist-praciitioner-led delivery, wl)ilst six of the original pilot programme schools will coniinue on a iiewly developed professional leaming model. led by a lead practitioner. The results of this programme and the resultant report from Ihe Universiiy of RL￿haMpt0n are likel}, tLI have a significant impaci on how we view and approach music education. In August 2025, MMF ￿'aS the victim of a cybeT-fraud event. Upon inve5tigFation, the consequences of the hack appear to have been 501ely fiiiancial with MMF losingF approx. £8,000. MMF consulted with the appropriate authorities and regulatory bodies at the time. including the ICO and tl)e Charitie5 Commission. In re5ptsnse to the evenL MMF has put in place significantly improved cyber-security ineasures and processes and feels confident that it has done what it can to preveni another such event. While it is of course unfortunate, MMF has been able to cany the financial loss without any impact in its delivery of its services to its beneficiaries.

MERTON MUSIC FOUNDATION CHAIR'S INTRODUCTION (CONTINUED) For the yearended 31 August 2025 It has been a strong year for the Fliundation, financially.

MERTON MUSIC FOUNDATION TRUSTEES, REPORT {INCLUDING DIRECTORS, REPORT) (CONTINUED} For the yearended 31 August 2025 Delivery Executive responsibility for delivery rests ivith the Chief Executive and the Senior Leadership Team. During 2024-25 the Foundation appointed a new Chief Executive follo%ving the retirement of the previous posi-holder in December 2024. Since Januanw 2025. the SLT has been made up of two full-time employees and one part-time employee of ihe Foundation tl) whom all other employees report either directly or indirectly. Core team staff support the function of MMF through the curriclllum & administration teams, stewards and middle leaders group. They all support the tutor workforce which numbers over 100 tutors frotn differing genres and 1115trumental faniilie5. Volunteers We continue to work closel}, with our parents. charity, the Friends of Merton's Young Musicians (FMYM). The Friends meet regularly to administer the affairs of their charity, to arrange fundrai%ing events to support the work of Merton Music Foundation, and to help with concerts and other events provided by our charity. Durin¥ 2024-25 ive further einbedded our Diike of Edinbur¥h and work experience placement scheines. Four young people joined us during tl)is year on placements for w'ork eX￿rIence". supporting us with logistics of preparing insti'uments for the new academic year, whilst also developing iheir skills and experience in the workplace. We also appoinied a volunteer member of the Core Team, supporting music library administration and other back- offic¢ tasks on an ad-hoc basis, th¢ extra capacity has been gregtl). appreciated by the Foundation's leadership. Volunteers supported many of tlie Foundation's concerts and event5 this year, notabl}, by acting as Chaperones to complv with Child Perftsmjance Licensing requirements. Delii'ering Our Charitable Purpose We hgve referred to the guidance contsined in the Charity Commission's general guidance on public benefit when reviewit]tT our aim and objectives and in deciding what activities the cliarity should undertake for the following finaiicial year. Senior and middle leaders regularly review the Foundation's progress via its Sell'_Evaluation and Improvement framewlirk. Twelve Strategic Priorities are agreed for the year. mapped against the three Central aims of our Vision. These are then distilled into an Action Plan which is updated and re-published online regularly. We also regularly review oiir aim5, objectives and activities annually through contribution to the London Southm'est Local Plan for Music Education via a Needs Aiialysis and regular reportiiig to Arts Council England via the HLO. The review examines OUT acl)ievement5 and the outcomes of the Hub 5 work over the past twelve Inonths a¥Taiiist a PerfoTmance FThwnework. It also look5 at the succe55 of each of the National Plan's Strate¥ic Fuiictions for Hub5 and the benefits thai have been brought to the various groups of people the Hub works with. The review helps us as an independent organisaiion io ensure that our aims. objectives and activities remain focused on our slated charitable purpose and support the wider objectives of the hub area. Over the CQUTse of the year, we hold termly whole-staff reviews of oiir Organisational Priorities and self-improvement planning. This has enabled us to etnbed our Vision and Values and place that at the core of our charitable endeavours and with investtnent in our web5lte, to inake this more publicly transparent and visible. 2024-25 marked the beginning of a new one-year improvement planning cycle during a period of significant change for the organization. The appointment of a new Chief Executive and Chair ot Trustees during this period alongside other Core Team appoiniments and stalTing struciure reorganization provided a contexi in which a one-year plan was preferable to Irustees than the pre-existing three-year cycle. Self-evaluation scores demonstrated progress againsi all three core aims of MMF'S Vision and strong progress against th¢ priorities outlined in our Action Plan.

MERTON MUSIC FOUNDATION TRUSTEES, REPORT {INCLUDING DIRECTORS, REPORT) (CONTINUED} For the yearended 31 August 2025 Public Benefit The Trustees of Merton Musie Foundation have complied ivith the duty in Section 4 Ol'the Charities Act 2011 to have due regard to public benefit guidance published by the Charity Commission. The Trustees believe that the organisation conforms readily to ihe public benefit requirements of the Charity Commission. The reasoiis for this belief are characterized by oiir charitable objective. To odF'L7Kce music gducatinn M'ithin frL7mew'ork ol"Ihe L7rls]or the benefil oj the publlc ofthe London Borough of.14erton elsewhere,; M,hich clearly demonstrates public benefit in advancing and proinoting the importance of music education. The advocacy work that MMF does is of potential benefit to all individuals, schools and its partnership organisations, by helping to create a leaming environment in which live music making can flourish and be available to participanis and audicnces in the local community that the chariry serves. The key focus for MMF'S WOTk.' music education through a framework of the arts, are both defined within the Charitie5 Act 2006 a5 charitable activities and as such both directly benefit the public. The main aeiiviiies of the charit!, and those we try, to help, are those for children and young people in and around the London Borough L)f Merton to whom we aim to provide musical opportunities of the highest standard. All the Foundation's projects are centred on children and young pcople. many of whom gre'hard to reach,, have additional needs, disadvantaged backLFrounds or challengFing5 circiiinstances. Financial assistance is not just limited to students of families who qualify for assistance froin the Free School Meals criteria. The Trustees recognise that there are many barriers young people face to panicipation, particularly woung people from hisiorically under-represented and niarginalised groups. Mediumilow-income families, aknve the threshold for income-based benefits are still contending with the rising cost of living, particularly in London. There is under-representation of people of Black Heritage, people that identify as LGB TQIA+, and people with additional learning needs in the wider inusic industy. Building on MMF'5 'Be More Charit) initiative, a key priorit), for 2024-25 wa5 enibeddints the new TEMPO Fund (Training. Education, Musical Piogres9ion & Opportunity). TEMPO is the overdrchin¥ n<11ne given to the Foundaiion's financial assistance programn)e and its growing programme of activity to address systemic barriers to participation and hisioric under-representation of targeted groups. The Trustees have therefore saiisfied themselves that Merton Miisic Foundation meets the public benefit requirements and the}. confirin that they have takeii due regard of the Charity Commission's general giiidance on public benefit.

MERTON MUSIC FOUNDATION TRUSTEES, REPORT {INCLUDING DIRECTORS, REPORT) (CONTINUED} For the yearended 31 August 2025 ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE P#rlnerships During ?024-25. MMF collaborated with its partners on a range of activity flir the benefii of Merton children and young people. including..

Furthermore, the music cenire space was upgraded through partnership working with TJLF, creating a purposeful leaming environment and space of community pridc for the young peoplc that access the centre. This dynamic partncrship working has enabled the Foundation to deepen its reach within oiir most vulnerable and historically undetTepresented communities in a gFeogFraphical area of hig51] levels of deprivation.

We plan to continue work in the coming year to di5setninate this resource to support non-specialist delivery of outstanding music in the earliest years of school. Working with SWL Music. we allocated £48.950 of DtE Capital Grant for Instruments funding to Menon schools for the purchase of new resources.

The Fouiidation receive5 iiumerous requests for youth perforn)ers for events locallv, which histOljLally we l)aven't alivays been able to accommodate due to complex rehearsal schedules, staffing considerations and child perfomiance licensing requirements. MMF Live has allowed us to respond more flexibly to these requests, sometimes providing a professional acts and sometimes facilitating youth perfomiers to develop real-world performance experience, whilst ensuring the necessary sgfegllarding procedures are in place. MMF Live has alreadv begun generating some income from corporate events wliicli in tuni feeds in to our TEMPO Fund and enables greater access for the niore vulnerable niembers of our community. We are excited to see how this initiative continues to develop in the coming years. Inelusion During 2024-25, much work was undertaken to further develop the Foundation's inclusion strategy, focussing on front-line delivery access for pupils with additional learning needs and those from historically underrepresented backgrounds.

MERTON MUSIC FOUNDATION INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT (CONTINUED) TO THE MEMBERS OF MERTOIY MUSIC FOUNDATION Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements Our objective5 are to obtain reasonable assurance abolit whether the financial ststeinents as a whole are free froTn Inaterial misstatemenL whether due to fraud or en"or, and to Issue an auditoi s report that include5 oul. tspinion. Reasonable assuiance is a high level of assurance but is i)ot a guarantee that an audit coi)ducted in accordance with ISAS (UK} will alwavs deteci a material misstsiement when it exisis. Misstaiements can arise from fraud or error and are considered maierial if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expecied to influence the economic decisions of users iaken on the basis of these financial stateinents. We evaluated management's incentives and opportiinities for fraudulent manipulation of the financial statemeiits (including the risk of override of controls) and deteTmined that the principal risks were related to managcment bias in accounting estin)ates and postin¥ inappropriate journal eiitries to manipulate the fair value of the company'5 assets. Our tests included agreeing the financial statement disclosures to underlying supporting documentation where relevant, review of Directors meeting minutes, enquiries with management as to the risks of non-compliance and any instances thereof. challenging assumptions and judgments made by management. and identifving and testing journal entries. in particular any journal entries posted witli unusual account combinations. Our audit procedures also focused on laws and regulations thai could give rise to a material misstatement in the financial statements, including, but not limited to, the Companies Act 2(106. Our audit procedures ivere de5i¥ned to respond to risk5 of material mi5Statement in the financial stateTnents, recognising that the risk of not detectin¥ a Inaterial misstatement due to fraud is higher thali the risk of not detecting oiie resulting from error, as fraud Inay involve deliberate concealment by, for exaimple, forgery, misrepresei)thtions or througl) collusion. There are inherent limiiations in the audit procedures performed and the further removed non-compliance with laws and regulations is from the evenis and transactions reflected in the financial statements, the less like we are to become aware of ii. The extent to which our procedures are capable of deiecting ]￿egUlar1tie$, including fraud, is detailed below.
