## **Appointment of Board of Directors** 

As set out in the Articles of Association the Board of Directors has the power at any time, and from time to time, to appoint any person to be a Director, either to fill a casual vacancy or as an addition to the existing Directors. Any Director so appointed shall hold office only until the next following Annual General Meeting and shall then be eligible for re-election. The Board of Directors operates on a voluntary basis. 

## **Directors Induction & Training** 

New Directors have an induction meeting with the Executive Director to brief them on the business plan, artistic programme, and financial performance of the charity, as well as an opportunity to observe a Board meeting. During the induction they meet key staff members and can observe various aspects of the charity’s work. 

New Directors are also invited to an induction meeting where they can discuss any issues with the rest of the Board of Directors. 

The Directors are encouraged to attend appropriate training events that will facilitate the undertaking of their role and receive relevant Charity Commission information on due diligence and regulations. 

## **Organisation**

The Board meets quarterly and has specific members with responsibility for personnel, finance, legal, client development, philanthropy, social investment, PR, marketing, digital streaming insights and the music industry. An Executive Director is appointed by the Board to manage the day-to-day operations of the charity. To facilitate effective operations, the Executive Director has delegated authority, within the terms of delegation approved by the Board, for operational matters including finance, personnel, resources, logistics and artistic performance related activities.

## **DIRECTORS’ REPORT For the year ended 31 March 2022** 

The staff team monitor operations and finances weekly on behalf of the Board of Directors, reporting areas of concern and highlighting the potential risk to the charity, along with recommendations for strategic development, fundraising, safeguarding children and young people, and health & safety. A key element in the management of financial risk is the establishment of a reserves policy and its regular review by the Board of Directors. 

## **Objectives & Activities** 

The objects and purpose of the charity, as per it’s governing document, are: 

- To promote, maintain, improve, and advance education particularly by the encouragement of the Arts including all forms of performing and visual art with special reference to the art of Music. 

The charity provides a space for all children and young people to be inspired to get into music and the creative industries, working within a safe and inspiring creative hub. 

**The primary focus for the year** was: to re-open the building following the lockdowns and to continue to provide online artistic programmes whilst gradually delivering specific projects onsite with improved COVIDsafety and updated company policies, including the introduction of a new safeguarding for online teaching section in the Child Protection Policy; the ongoing importance of securing annual revenue income from the London Borough of Lewisham and NPO Arts Council England, with continued financial investment from the Tom ap Rhys Pryce Memorial Trust and attracting investment from another key Trust or Foundation; and the Charity’s involvement in the Black Association for the Arts UK (BAFA UK), ongoing participation in the UK Music Diversity Taskforce, BPI Music Export Growth Scheme, BRIT Award Voting Academy and WOMEX 2021, plus engagement in the AIM + FAC Artists & Managers Awards Panel, MMF Managers Accelerator Programme and the MMF Education Committee, with the UK Music Ten-Point Plan partnerships with the Association of Independent Music and Featured Artist Coalition creating increased opportunities for our students, clients and members. Support was also provided for various campaigns including, #FreeMoveCreate, #EveryChildAMusician, #WeMakeEvents, #InvestInMusicians, #LetTheMusicPlay, #saveourvenues and #NoMusicOnADeadPlanet. 

The strategies employed to achieve the charity’s objectives are to: 

- Provide inspiring and engaging educational and training programmes targeted at children and young people with rewarding incentives, 

- Work in partnership with relevant agencies/organisations to collate industry intelligence, host seminars and master classes to broaden young people’s understanding of current trends and opportunities in the UK music industry and cultural industries, 

- Develop relationships with music industry businesses to provide access to entry level jobs and funding investment for young people and the creation of partnership opportunities, 

- Establish affordable access programmes for children and young people to learn how to play instruments, develop music production skills, record their music, develop creative enterprises, explore creative internships, and work placements, expand their social networks, rehearse, perform and develop themselves as creative entrepreneurs, 

- Participate in relevant seminars, forums, panels, advisory groups, and conferences, 

- Develop our strategic partnerships and networks. 

The four major areas of activity are: educational programmes; creative industries careers advice service; events; and partnership projects.

## **DIRECTORS’ REPORT For the year ended 31 March 2022** 

The educational programmes are primarily focused on providing music & production education for children and young adults. They aim to offer opportunities in instrumental skills development, music composition, music production, music business, bursaries, and cross-art form initiatives. We engage industry professionals who share their expertise to inspire emerging talent to understand the trends and opportunities. The programmes allow individuals to enhance their creative skills and identify progression routes. Participants are referred from schools, colleges, looked after children services, asylum and refugee projects, social services, youth offending schemes, pupil referral units, looked after services, youth projects, local housing initiatives, mental health services, employment initiatives and other related agencies. 

The Creative Industries Careers Advice Service CICAS® (pronounced “ _seekers_ ”) creates a platform for young adults to explore their potential and identify pathways for their creative development including skillsbased training, work experience placements, apprenticeships, internships, mentorships, self-employment and establishing new enterprises. It continued to be delivered online via Zoom during the lockdown and on the return to the building, enabling more young people from across the country to access advice, guidance, and support, with continuous demand for one-to-one sessions, as well as talent development, industry contacts, marketing support, funding advice & guidance, references, and referrals, plus access to rehearsal and recording facilities at MMC from August 2021 onwards. 

The pre-recorded CICAS® Sessions continued to be uploaded on the charity’s website and YouTube channel to showcase artists and engage new audiences online, along with the CICAS® Podcasts on Soundcloud and MMC’s website. 

The partnership projects that engage children and young people enable participants to connect with emerging artists locally, regionally, and nationally. These represent Spoken Word, music, songwriting and production projects, international initiatives, seminars, conference panels – the work placements at MMC for students attending formal educational establishments were re-started late autumn 2021. 

## **Public Benefit** 

The Trustees have had due regard to the Charity Commission guidance on Public Benefit. 

The charity provides public benefit through a variety of different approaches: 

- Providing subsidised affordable instrumental, Spoken Word and music production tuition for socioeconomically disadvantaged children, complimented by the Tom ap Rhys Pryce Music bursary programme for 1:1 tuition at The Conservatoire in Blackheath with partner nominations from YUAF and Fairbeats Music, who also support the programme by providing extended bursaries, where possible, and the distribution of the Jack Petchey Foundation Bronze Awards for Outstanding Achievement for AYM students 

- Mentoring & supporting young people and arts professionals 

- Providing free careers advice and discounted access for CICAS® & CAPs (Creative Associate Professionals – CICAS® alumni) members to rehearsal space, music production equipment, recording facilities, multimedia resources, vocal coaching, talent development, funding advice & guidance, references, industry links, marketing, digital media, PR & marketing support 

- Developing new audiences for young emerging artists, bands and creative entrepreneurs via our website, social media, newsletter, podcasts, showcases and events, in addition to providing MMC Takeovers across various platforms 

- Circulating creative & cultural industries data and intelligence to provide greater equity for young people from diverse backgrounds through the CICAS® and CAPS programmes 

- Linking emerging talent to industry professionals via our established creative & cultural industries networks and contacts 

- Safeguarding children and young people so that they can engage in positive, creative learning experiences, supported by experienced and professional staff teams and volunteers, who are DBS checked, according to child protection regulations.

## **Financial Review** 

The principal funding sources were the Arts Council England (NPO & Cultural Recovery Fund), the London Borough of Lewisham and Tom ap Rhys Pryce Memorial Trust, with additional funds from the Jack Petchey Foundation. 

The application submissions to the London Community Response Fund, Youth Music, Worshipful Company of Glovers and Morrison’s Foundation were unsuccessful. 

The Charity received donations via Easy Fundraising, Amazon Smile, PayPal, DONR and JustGiving. 

The Directors’ focus on maintaining financial stability by working with The Fundraisers to increase the Charity’s fundraising capacity and supporting the Executive Director’s workload, led to a successful four-year application to the Paul Hamlyn Foundation for 2022 – 2026, with outstanding applications to Warner Music Group Blavatnik Family Foundation and open discussions with the Sony Music Group & Universal Music Social Justice Funds – Sony Music are revising their application process, which will be made via their US portal. Lewisham Council funding has been secured under the Lewisham Arts & Culture Fund 2022 – 2025. 

## **Investment Powers & Policy** 

Under the Memorandum and Articles of Association, the charity has the power to invest in any way the Directors wish. 

The Directors, having regard for the objects stated in the Memorandum of Association, have operated a policy of keeping available funds in an interest-bearing account as part of their reserves policy. 

## **Reserves Policy** 

The activities of The Midi Music Company are financed on a project-funding basis with a measure of unrestricted funding to cover necessary administration and overheads. There are no capital reserves that can be placed on deposit or otherwise prudently invested. Accordingly, all cash resources are held in the charity’s current and reserve accounts. A reserve account has been established at CAF Bank and Charity Bank providing financial resources in the event of cash flow requirements and redundancy packages. An annual deposit is made, when possible, and interest is accrued quarterly. 

Page 9 



**THE MIDI MUSIC COMPANY (Company limited by guarantee no 2989656, registered charity no. 1045693)** 

## **DIRECTORS’ REPORT For the year ended 31 March 2022** 

The actual reserve account balance held in the CAF Bank account at 31[st] March 2022 was £20,172 and Charity Bank was £50,501. As of the year-end, the Charity held £94,862 (2021: £108,788) in Unrestricted funds and £850 (2021: £Nil) in Restricted funds. 

## **Plans for Future Periods** 

MMC’s return to the building and delivering in-person programmes signifies an opportunity to review the artistic programmes enabling the staff team and Cre8tiv© Youth Forum to respond to survey responses and assess the market due to the cost-of-living crisis and demands on low-income families’ disposable income. The core programmes will continue to be delivered onsite with hybrid activities for the CICAS® programme, 1:1s online and in-person access to rehearsal and recording facilities, supported by the return of The Breakout Club live events. 

MMC has created a safe working environment with the support of the Culture Recovery Fund and the Health & Safety Support Package with WorkNest (formerly Law At Work Ltd) ensuring COVID-compliance and updated risk assessments. 

We will continue to maintain and establish collaborative projects, including working with BAFA UK to deliver the first-ever Black Arts & Culture Symposium in partnership with The Albany, SDS Entertainment, Lewisham Borough of Culture, IRIE! dance theatre, Black Lives in Music and other relevant organisations, talent development and music education programmes for aspiring and emerging artists, as well as partnerships with Lionbeat in Lewisham, SDS Entertainment in Croydon and Camberwell Fair in Southwark. 

## **Small Company Special Provisions** 

The report of the Directors has been prepared taking advantage of the small companies’ exemption of section 417 (1) of the Companies Act 2006. It was approved, and authorised for issue, by the Directors on 16 September 2022 and signed on its behalf by:

## **INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022** 

## **Independent examiner's report to the Directors of The Midi Music Company ('the Charity')** 

I report to the charity Trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Charity for the year ended 31 March 2022. 

## **Responsibilities and basis of report** 

As the Trustees of the Charity (and 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 Charity 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 the Charity's accounts carried out under section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 ('the 2011 Act'). In carrying out my examination I have followed the Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of 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 Charity 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). 

I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

**THE MIDI MUSIC COMPANY (A company limited by guarantee and registered charity)** 

## **NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022** 

## **1. General information** 

The Midi Music Company is a private charitable company and is registered with the Charity Commission (Charity Registered Number 1045693) and Registrar of Companies (Company Registration Number 02989656) in England and Wales. 

In the event of the Charity being wound up, the liability in respect of the guarantee is limited to £1 per member of the Charity. 

The address of the registered office is given in the Charity information on page 1 of these financial statements. The nature of the Charity’s operations and principal activities are to provide a space for all children and young people to be inspired to get into music and the creative industries. 

## **2. Accounting policies** 

## **2.1 Basis of preparation of financial statements** 

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102) - 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) and the Companies Act 2006. 

The Midi Music Company meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102. Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy. 

The financial statements are presented in pound sterling, which is the presentational and functional currency of the Charity, and are rounded to the nearest pound. 

The significant accounting policies applied in the preparation of these financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all years presented unless otherwise stated. 

## **2.2 Going concern** 

The Trustees have assessed the use of going concern and have considered possible events or conditions that might cast significant doubt on the ability of the Charity to continue as a going concern including the impact of COVID-19. The Trustees have made this assessment for a period of at least one year from the date of the approval of these financial statements. The Trustees have concluded that there is a reasonable expectation that the Charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. The Charity therefore continues to adopt the going concern basis in preparing these financial statements.

## **NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022** 

## **2. Accounting policies (continued)** 

## **2.3 Income** 

All income is recognised once the Charity has entitlement to the income, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount of income receivable can be measured reliably. 

For donations to be recognised the Charity will have been notified of the amounts and the settlement date in writing. If there are conditions attached to the donation and this requires a level of performance before entitlement can be obtained then income is deferred until those conditions are fully met or the fulfilment of those conditions is within the control of the Charity and it is probable that they will be fulfilled. 

The Charity receives grants in respect of furthering its charitable objectives. Income from government and other grants are recognised at fair value when the Charity has entitlement after any performance conditions have been met, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably. If entitlement is not met then these amounts are deferred. 

Other income is recognised in the period in which it is receivable and to the extent the goods have been provided or on completion of the service. 

## **2.4 Expenditure** 

All expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all costs related to that category. Expenditure 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 settlement and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is classified by activity. 

Expenditure on charitable activities is incurred on directly undertaking the activities which further the Charity's objectives, as well as any associated support costs. 

All expenditure is inclusive of irrecoverable VAT. 

## **2.5 Interest receivable** 

Interest on funds held on deposit is included when receivable and the amount can be measured reliably by the Charity; this is normally upon notification of the interest paid or payable by the institution with whom the funds are deposited. 

## **2.6 Taxation** 

The Charity is considered to pass the tests set out in Paragraph 1 Schedule 6 of the Finance Act 2010 and therefore it meets the definition of a charitable company for UK corporation tax purposes. Accordingly, the Charity is potentially exempt from taxation in respect of income or capital gains received within categories covered by Chapter 3 Part 11 of the Corporation Tax Act 2010 or Section 256 of the Taxation of Chargeable Gains Act 1992, to the extent that such income or gains are applied exclusively to charitable purposes.

## **NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022** 

## **2. Accounting policies (continued)** 

## **2.7 Tangible fixed assets and depreciation** 

Tangible fixed assets costing £500 or more are capitalised and recognised when future economic benefits are probable and the cost or value of the asset can be measured reliably. 

Tangible fixed assets are initially recognised at cost. After recognition, under the cost model, tangible fixed assets are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses. All costs incurred to bring a tangible fixed asset into its intended working condition should be included in the measurement of cost. 

A review for impairment of a fixed asset is carried out if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of any fixed asset may not be recoverable. Shortfalls between the carrying value of fixed assets and their recoverable amounts are recognised as impairments. Impairment losses are recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities. 

Depreciation is charged so as to allocate the cost of tangible fixed assets less their residual value over their estimated useful lives, using the straight-line method. 

Depreciation is provided on the following bases: 

|Improvements to rented|- 20 years|
|---|---|
|property||
|Office equipment|- 4 years|
|Music equipment|- 4 years|



## **2.8 Investments** 

Fixed asset investments are a form of financial instrument and are initially recognised at their transaction cost and subsequently measured at fair value at the Balance sheet date, unless the value cannot be measured reliably in which case it is measured at cost less impairment. Investment gains and losses, whether realised or unrealised, are combined and presented as ‘Gains/(Losses) on investments’ in the Statement of financial activities. 

The investment in the Charity's trading subsidiary is included on the Balance Sheet at cost. The last valuation was carried out in September 2008. The Directors are satisfied that there has been no significant change in market value since this date. 

## **2.9 Debtors** 

Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount after any trade discount offered. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid net of any trade discounts due. 

## **2.10 Cash at bank and in hand** 

Cash at bank and in hand includes cash and short-term highly liquid investments with a short maturity of three months or less from the date of acquisition or opening of the deposit or similar account.

## **NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022** 

## **2. Accounting policies (continued)** 

## **2.11 Liabilities and provisions** 

Liabilities are recognised when there is an obligation at the Balance sheet date as a result of a past event, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefit will be required in settlement, and the amount of the settlement can be estimated reliably. 

Liabilities are recognised at the amount that the Charity anticipates it will pay to settle the debt or the amount it has received as advanced payments for the goods or services it must provide. 

Provisions are measured at the best estimate of the amounts required to settle the obligation. Where the effect of the time value of money is material, the provision is based on the present value of those amounts, discounted at the pre-tax discount rate that reflects the risks specific to the liability. The unwinding of the discount is recognised in the Statement of financial activities as a finance cost. 

## **2.12 Financial instruments** 

The Charity only holds basic financial instruments. The financial assets and financial liabilities of the Charity are as follows: 

Debtors - trade and other debtors (including accrued income) are basic financial instruments and are debt instruments measured at amortised cost as detailed in Note 11. Prepayments are not financial instruments. 

Cash at bank - is classified as a basic financial instrument and is measured at face value. 

Liabilities - trade creditors, accruals and other creditors will be classified as financial instruments and are measured at amortised cost as detailed in Note 12. Taxation and social security are not included in the financial instruments disclosure. Deferred income is not deemed to be a financial liability, as the cash settlement has already taken place and there is simply an obligation to deliver charitable services rather than cash or another financial instrument. 

## **2.13 Pensions** 

The Charity operates a defined contribution pension scheme and the pension charge represents the amounts payable by the Charity to the fund in respect of the year.

## **NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022** 

## **2. Accounting policies (continued)** 

## **2.14 Fund accounting** 

General funds are unrestricted funds which are available for use at the discretion of the Directors in furtherance of the general objectives of the Charity and which have not been designated for other purposes. 

Designated funds comprise unrestricted funds that have been set aside by the Directors for particular purposes. The aim and use of each designated fund is set out in the notes to the financial statements. 

Restricted funds are funds which are to be used in accordance with specific restrictions imposed by donors or which have been raised by the Charity for particular purposes. The costs of raising and administering such funds are charged against the specific fund. The aim and use of each restricted fund is set out in the notes to the financial statements. 

Investment income, gains and losses are allocated to the appropriate fund.
