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. This is in part thanks to our diverse range of income sireams and
project work. alongside some savings made during a period of reduced headcouni following the departure of the fomier
CEO.
would like to thank my fellow trustees for their 5UPPOrt and dedication over the last year. Our board is dynamic,
enga¥ed and representative of the diverse comtniiiiity that ive serve. I would also like to acknowled¥e the huge
contribution of my predecessor and we all wish him well as he steps away froin MMF.

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.

Our senior concert band and jazz orchestrd reiurned to perform at the semi-finals of Wimbledon Tennis
Championships. a tradition of over 25 years for the Fliundaiion and a hugely valuable perfom)ance op￿rtunIty for our

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. Staff / tuior training and devcli)pnient focussed on SEND support, including a presentation on 'Being gn

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.
A further description of our responsibilities is avgilable on the Financial Reporting Council's website at.. https.'Il

notified of tl)e donatitsn, unless perlom)ance conditions requiie deferral of the amount. Incoine tax recoverable in
relatitsn to membership received under GiftAid or deeds of covenant is iecognised at the time of the receipt.
1.4 Resourees expended
ExpenditUTe is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to transfer economic benefit to a third
party.. it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settleinent. and the amount of the

costs, including support costs involved in undertaking each activiry. Direct costs attributsble to a single activity are
allocated directly 10 that activity. Shared costs which contribute to more than one acriviry and support costs which
are not attributable io a single activity are apportioned between thase activities on a basis consistent with the use of
resour¢e%. Central staff costs ar¢ all￿ated on th¢ basis of tiine spent, and depreciation charges are 8llocat¢d on the
