Report of the Trustees for the Year Ended 31 August 2025
OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES
a. Policies and objectives
-
The Charity's objects are restricted specifically for the public benefit:
-
a) to advance education in music and the arts, and
-
b) to promote music and the arts, in particular but not exclusively by the creation, development and provision of workshops, programmes and music-related projects for people, including young people and young offenders and particularly without limitation those who are disadvantaged due to financial and/or other circumstances.
In setting objectives and planning for activities, the Trustees have given due consideration to general guidance published by the Charity Commission relating to public benefit, including the guidance ‘Public benefit: running a charity (PB2)’.
b. Strategies for achieving objectives
The strategy was to build upon last year's focus of income generation combining a mixture of earned and grant income whilst maintaining current levels of activity. This was achieved through increasing our Saturday Programme participant numbers through a range of recruitment drives and word of mouth, together with fee increases in anticipation of the new academic year, which resulted in a rise in earned income.
The Company sustained a moderate decrease in grant funding this year as restricted funds collected in the last financial year were spent on this year's programme activities. In order to maintain the Company's level of activity both in Communities and in Schools, a renewed fundraising strategy in the coming year is intended to boost grant income to a level which will allow the Company to continue its current programming alongside new initiatives.
c. Activities undertaken to achieve objectives
Our continued focus on delivering quality music education was sustained through continued delivery in all three main areas of activity: including One Spirit Community Outreach projects in several settings; Music Treehouse SEND project in both schools and as part of The Saturday Programme; the Saturday Programme and In-School projects (E Project, Shakespeare project).
Celebrations for our 30th Anniversary included revisiting many of our past commissions to consolidate our commitment to creating new music which underpins multiple forms of learning.
d. Main activities undertaken to further the Company's purposes for the public benefit
The Company has furthered public benefit this year through the projects noted in this report.
The Trustees confirm that they have complied with the requirements of section 4 of the Charities Act 2011 to have due regard to the public benefit guidance published by the Charity Commission for England and Wales.

Achievements and performance
a. Main achievements of the Company
2024-25 was a successfulyear in sustaining, developing and expanding our activities in a range of ways not least in celebrating our 30th Anniversary. THE SATURDAY PROGRAMME The Saturday Programme, a music school.based at Bridge Academy in Hackney, serves around 300 students aged 6 months - 25 years on Saturdays during term time each academic year. It offers exciting, high-quality and accessible opportunities for children of all ages to develop their. musical interests and abilities by providing a spectrum of individual projects involving guést visits and work with leading artists, alongside the continually expanding regular classes and programmes designed to enrich the lives of young people through music-making. | ,
The Programme comprises:
The Music Box Early Years family programme Fledglings Foundation for Reception age; | Can Sing! music theatre; CYMH instrumental; Julian Joseph Jazz Academy and Music Treehouse for children with SEND.
Highlights included Music Treehouse being shortlisted for Music and Drama's Excellence in SEND Award.
To celebrate our 30th Anniversary we mounted two special performances of past commissions:
We'll Meet Again a compilation of several HMDT Music commissions about different aspects of the Second World War commemorates the 80th Anniversary of VE day. It includes 'The Blitz’ scene from Jonathan Dove and Alasdair Middleton's opera The Hackney Chronicles (2001), excerpts from our Home Front revue I'll Be Seeing You (2005) by Matthew King and Alasdair Middleton, and music from Hear Our Voice by both Jonathan Dove and Matthew King, set to a libretto Tertia Sefton-Green compiled from the writings of children of the Holocaust. These works represent various aspects of the war and with it a range of emotional experiences embracing themes of fear, loss, friendship, family, patriotism, defiance, community, friendship, humour and above all - as was overwhelmingly displayed by the children writing about their own experiences - hope.
Odyssean Variations
For a unique end of year performance, Greek legend Odysseus' 10 year perilous journey home from Troy was captured first through a scena of songs featuring his story performed by our | Can Sing! students followed by a performance of Matthew King's Odyssean Variations, a large-scale piece for cello, orchestra and choir specially written for internationally renowned cellist Natalie Clein and the CYMH Orchestra in 2008. The work is a traditional set of variations on a theme, which contains a musical narrative based on Homer's Odyssey, describing Odysseus' travels home from the Trojan War and his adventures with amongst others the one-eyed Cyclops, singing sirens and Circe the sorceress.
We were delighted to welcome Natalie back to perform with us again and for the first time to combine forces of the CYMH Orchestra and | Can Sing!

I just wanted to say how much I enjoyed the show – my favourite yet I think. It was so moving, beautifully melodic, and what an extraordinary job those Minis did! SATURDAY PROGRAMME PARENT
We had a very meaningful time rehearsing with our I Can Sing! students aged 5-16 and were impressed by their interest, contributions and commitment to what, in some songs in particular, is a difficult subject matter. Throughout, our overriding focus was to make the material as accessible as possible for each age group and to discuss and understand the songs in a way which was appropriate for them. We were touched by how many students shared their family stories and by how much information they engaged with and took on board. The project exemplified HMDT Music’s award-winning methodology of using the arts to embed learning and was a fitting tribute for our anniversary to be sharing these commissions and our approach, both of which represent so much of our work over the past 30 years.
I was a bit sceptical at first about whether my 5 year old son would engage with the long rehearsals in the lead up to the show, but he absolutely loved it and loved being part of a team. In the week before the show he was telling everyone about the upcoming | & performance.

AUDIENCE MEMBER
It was such a special evening... I loved doing it – it was such a joy and I was so impressed by all the students, tutors and Vahan! NATALIE CLEIN
We were delighted to welcome Natalie back to perform with us again and for the first time to combine forces of the CYMH Orchestra and I Can Sing! With the story of each movement projected onto a screen behind the forces, the audience were able to fully engage with the work.
Natalie was absolutely excellent, she made such a beautiful sound. I was able to understand the piece better for studying it for 2 terms and I really enjoyed doing a longer piece. At the beginning it was really difficult but after practicing it together it got much easier. STUDENT
It was a terrific concert. I thought all the performers did brilliantly. It was very exciting to hear ‘Odyssean Variations’ again. Lovely to hear the singers in the first half too ... singing with real commitment. MATTHEW KING
It was very exciting – playing a 30 page piece was very intimidating but in actuality it was very fun. The choir really made the sound of the orchestra a lot fuller too! STUDENT

Report of the Trustees for the Year Ended 31 August 2025
The Art of Inclusion Training Scheme was consolidated with a new cohort of creative practitioners offering 2 days of intensive training followed by opportunities for each trainee to deliver an in-school workshop to put their learning into practice.
Music Treehouse in Schools Music Treehouse in schools continued in partnership with Reading University in which we brought our methodology training, the ofuniversityinteractivestudents storytellingworkedand musicwith expert to a specialistpractitioner SENDTim schoolYeallai n Reading.d to developFollowing their workingskills in supporting SEND workshops delivered to 5 classes of children across 6 weeks. It was followed by a Spring project with Richard Cloudesley Special School where Tim and two musicians worked for half a term with 5 groups from each of the primary and secondary schools. Shakespeare 10th Anniversary The 10th Anniversary of Shakespeare Day of Performance devised for Creative Education Trust brought together their 10 Academies from across the Midlands and Great Yarmouth. who for the first time collaborated together to put on four performances of A Winter's Tale, Twelfth Night, Macbeth,and A Midsummer Night's Dream. Each group of schools worked with actor Ryan Early on vocal delivery and textual interpretation and with theatre designer Mark Friend to develop and create costume, set and prop éiements for their performances at Abbeyfield Schoo! which resulted in a fantastic display of fellowship and collaboration. —
Workshops
Our STEM Sisters project continued with workshops exploring the life and work of Mary Anning delivered nationally. Artefacts Handling and Costumed Interpreter workshops for our WW1 project Trench Brothers were delivered in both primary and secondary schools.
IN THE COMMUNITY One Spirit uses music and the arts as a resettlement and intervention tool to improve confidence, self-esteem, self-efficacy and mental health; engagement with learning and reduced involvement with risky and harmful behaviour and reoffending. We continued to expand our work delivering 1:1 or small group mentoring sessions using our alternative curriculum based around the creative arts and entrepreneurial activities with: young offenders in custody in Oakhill STC, HMYOI Feltham and HMP Aylesbury; those on release in the community and working with young people at risk of offending in Pupil Referral Units or SEMH settings with projects in Roundwood PRU and New Rush Hall SEMH. In addition to partnerships with education, resettlement, and wellbeing teams in custody, One Spirit work in the community with statutory services including YOTs, Community Engagement Teams and referral partners such as Sports Connect, REED,.Urban Radio Network, Young People Matter. This year we exceeded our exemplary consistent record of 86% of participants not reoffending and reached 93%.
Last year saw a focus on mental health and we are developing partnerships with the NHS, through HMP Aylesbury's pathways with whom we are researching the therapeutic effects of One Spirit in conjunction with standard mental health interventions with the aim of igniting sector change. We were particularly pleased to receive a letter from Mayor of London Sir Sadiq Khan, praising One Spirit's work with young people.
Plans for future periods
AlongsideMusic Treehousethe continuation| of expanding our creative music making project for SEND children into schools, both locally and returning to Berkshire, we aim to offer free instrumental tuition to some young people who attend our Music Treehouse Saturday Programme as their progression now warrants 1:1 lessons.
Mental Health Schools Project Following a Strategy Day with the Board, we are planning to develop a new project for schools focusing on children's mental health especially those suffering from Emotionally Based School Avoidance. It will draw from expertise and experience gained over several years through One Spirit and bring together creative opportunities such as song-writing, art-based activities and writing with mentoring working in 1:1 or.small groups. it will include training artists especially those who worked on the E Project on developing skills to use arts for therapeutic mental health provision.

Working with 4 core schools across the country in Stoke on Trent, Lytham St Anne’s, Luton and Hackney we delivered termly art, music and drama workshops to two classes in different year groups in each school which linked curriculum themes with a range of activities and topics. Alongside devising sessions to link with topics the classes would be studying we also brought in themes from our past projects such as the holocaust through children’s writings ( Hear Our Voice ) and historical female scientists who achieved against the odds ( STEM Sisters ).
Whilst some schools chose more standard curricular topics to begin with, they all shifted to cover some PHSE issues which they hadn’t previously thought to teach through the arts and which fuelled a lot of the best creative work covered over the project. It also liberated teachers who were initially hesitant to deal with themes such as rights, identity and protest and resulted in some powerful workshops such as a music session exploring how composers have used music to protest and draw attention to social issues linked to the suffragettes and women’s rights movment.
An art day on Pride explored another area which the school had hitherto not even acknowledged. Staff noted how much more accepting of each other the children were and how the project had helped them express themselves in ways they wouldn’t have expected.
It was a powerful generator to get the students on board offering different methods
HILLBOROUGH JUNIOR
It has been great to broaden our curriculum and look at diversity through a range of subject areas which we have in the past shied away from. We found the children to be much more mature and receptive than we expected and this has encouraged us to open up dialogue and bring in more discussion-based lessons.
TEACHER – MOORPARK JUNIOR
I will take from the project many things. First, I will take a bolstered sense of confidence that my practice is something I can do. I will also take with me the importance of building up a repertoire of activities that I can pull out of a hat if needed. The most valuable thing I will take with me is the significance of being fully planned and prepared before a session, but once the session has started allow the plan to adapt to the shape of the children in the room. TRAINEE
For our artist practitioners too, the shared experience of working together brought an added learning in the ways they each approached the project which was key to their own learning:
This training was an incredible opportunity to engage in an exciting and critical dialogue about arts facilitation – from exploring our personal and collective aims to developing practical ideas and processes. Sophie and Jo are amazing facilitators, both so thoughtful in their approach and generous in sharing their knowledge and resources with us. I can’t thank them enough, and Callum for overseeing such a smooth project delivery. TRAINEE

THE E PROJECT – THE ART OF INCLUSION TRAINING SCHEME
The Art of Inclusion Training Scheme supported artists in using their artistic practice to deliver cross-curricular sessions, whilst also helping young people develop their understanding of diversity and inclusion. It was delivered by E Project Artists Jo Carey (theatre practitioner) and Sophie Gresswell (visual artist) and this year focused solely on practice impact. This had extremely good results, with a very engaged group who still remain connected now, several months on from the course.
We received 41 applications for the training of whom 12 were interviewed and 7 people offered a place. Training took place across two full days with a further day of placements in schools, where each participant had the opportunity to deliver a session. As well as clearly proving to be of great value to the trainees, the AoI courses were also a forum in which the artists could share their learning and practice to support and influence others and so across the 3 years 30 new young artists have been introduced to our methodology and begun to share that practice more widely, alongside our core artistic team.
It involved a lot of research forcing us to find relevant ways of approaching topics : and across time, realising what can really work. It was difficult but I enjoyed being challenged and helped confirm why the arts practice I deliver is relevant. VAHAN SALORIAN, MUSICIAN
WE WERE PROUD TO RECEIVE A LETTER FROM THE MAYOR OF LONDON, SIR SADIQ KHAN CONGRATULATING US ON THE WORK WE HAVE DONE WITH ONE SPIRIT :
HMDT Music, especially you and Charlie, should be immensely proud of the leadership you have demonstrated and the positive impact you have had by building the confidence of so many young people.
ONE SPIRIT
One Spirit uses music and the arts as a resettlement and intervention tool to improve confidence, self-esteem, selfefficacy and mental health; engagement with learning and reduced involvement with risky and harmful behaviour and reoffending.
We continued to expand our work delivering 1:1 or small group mentoring sessions using our alternative curriculum based around the creative arts and entrepreneurial activities with: young offenders in custody in Oakhill STC, HMYOI Feltham and HMP Aylesbury; those on release in the community and working with young people at risk of offending in Pupil Referral Units or SEMH settings with projects in Roundwood PRU and New Rush Hall SEMH. In addition to partnerships with education, resettlement, and wellbeing teams in custody, One Spirit works in the community with statutory services including YOTs, Community Engagement Teams and referral partners such as Sports Connect, REED, Urban Radio Network, Young People Matter. This year we exceeded our exemplary consistent record of 86% of participants not reoffending and reached 93%.
Last year saw a focus on mental health and we are developing partnerships with the NHS, through HMP Aylesbury’s pathways with whom we are researching the therapeutic effects of One Spirit in conjunction with standard mental health interventions, with the aim of igniting sector change. The huge demand for meaningful engagement and our success in supporting our participants means we receive referrals from all over London and beyond, to get a session with a One Spirit mentor.
Your use of words can help you let go of 1,000 years of steam and anger. Through the beats and rhymes you can portray a mixture of emotion from your happiest days to your saddest nights.
With the help of organisations such as yours, we can build a more supportive and inspiring London where no young person is left behind.
On behalf of all Londoners, thank you for making a difference by empowering our city’s young people to take ownership of their lives and futures. MAYOR OF LONDON, SIR SADIQ KHAN
We have seen an increase in the young people’s focus and attention in all aspects of the curriculum; the positive way they feel about themselves following a session allows them to achieve more in lessons, resulting in an increase in successful qualifications for each child.
EDUCATION MANAGER, HMYOI FELTHAM
If it wasn’t for this [ One Spirit ] then I’d probably be in jail, I can’t lie. Coming here has really helped me through some bumpy times you know. Just being able to get it all off your chest and do something positive.

I really enjoy supporting you on your projects, because it’s the only time I see the boys in their true personalities and really working and enjoying themselves.

Report of the Trustees for the Year Ended 31 August 2025
FINANCIAL REVIEW
Principal funding sources Arts Council England Charles Hayward Foundation Creative Education Trust The Chamifealion Trust The City Bridge Foundation The Henry Smith Charity Mayor of London - Young Londoner's Fund New Deal for Young People Paul Hamlyn Foundation Hackney Council Youth Music
Reserves policy
The Trustees' objective is to achieve a 3 month of running costs in unrestricted reserves each year which continues to be met with the current level of reserves. Unrestricted reserves rose to £64,489 in the year as the level of deferred income for activities which cross the financial year have stabilised. In the past four years, we have seen a significant increase in unrestricted reserves with an increase from £14,261 in FY22 to £57,661 in FY23. A slightly lower amount of £47,683 was recorded in FY24 (as was expected due to deferred income of fees which crossed the 2024 financial year end).
Going concern
During the year the charitable Company received donations and grants of £247,196, income from charitable activities of £285,132 and income from investments of £2,901. Total income amounted to £535,229. Expenditure incurred totalled £584,964 of which £567,619 related to charitable activities. Net movement in funds for the year amounted to (£49,735) and the total funds carried forward as of 31 August 2025 were £149,634.
After making appropriate enquiries, the Trustees have a reasonable expectation that the Company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. For this reason, they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements. Further details regarding the adoption of the going concern basis can be found in the accounting policies.
Principal risks and uncertainties
The Trustees and staff maintain a register of Risks and Mitigation sorted by business area. These include Finance and Fundraising, Human Resources, Stakeholder Management, Communications and PR, Management and Governance, Operations and Safeguarding. Sub-committees of the Board of Trustees monitor performance and others are created on an ad-hoc basis when required.
Financial and risk management objectives and policies
The charity's activities expose it to a number of financial risks including credit risk, cash flow risk and liquidity risk. The use of financial derivatives is governed by the charity's policies approved by the board of Trustees, which provide written principles on the use of financial derivatives to manage these risks. The charity does not use derivative financial instruments.
Credit risk
The Charity's principal financial assets are bank balances and other debtors. The Charity's credit risk is primarily attributable to its other debtors. The amounts presented in the balance sheet are net of allowances for doubtful receivables. An allowance for impairment is made where there is an identified loss event which, based on previous experience, is evidence of a reduction in the recoverability of the cash flows.
The credit risk on liquid funds is limited because the counterparties are banks with high credit-ratings assigned by international credit-rating agencies. The Charity has no significant concentration of credit risk, with exposure spread over a large number of counterparties and customers.

Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 August 2025
1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of preparing the financial statements
The financial statements of the charitable company, which is a public benefit entity under FRS 102, 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) (effective 1 January 2019)’, Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland’ and the Companies Act 2006. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention.
Income
All income is recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities once the charity has entitlement to the funds, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably.
Expenditure
Liabilities are recognised as expenditure as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to that expenditure, 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 accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all cost related to the category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources.
Tangible fixed assets
Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off each asset over its estimated useful life.
Stocks
Stocks are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value, after making due allowance for obsolete and slow moving items.
Taxation
The charity is exempt from corporation tax on its charitable activities.
Fund accounting
Unrestricted funds can be used in accordance with the charitable objectives at the discretion of the Trustees.
Restricted funds can only be used for particular restricted purposes within the objects of the charity. Restrictions arise when specified by the donor or when funds are raised for particular restricted purposes.
Further explanation of the nature and purpose of each fund is included in the notes to the financial statements.
Pension costs and other post-retirement benefits
The charitable company operates a defined contribution pension scheme. Contributions payable to the charitable company's pension scheme are charged to the Statement of Financial Activities in the period to which they relate.
