Structure, governance and management
soundLINCS is a Not-for-Profit organisation, and a Company Limited by Guarantee and does not have any share capital. It was incorporated on 10 March 1999 and registered as a charity with the Charity Commission for England and Wales on 4 May 2001. Every Trustee of the Company has limited liability in the form of a guarantee of up to £f. Any major risk, to which the Charity is exposed, as identified by the Trustees, has been reviewed and systems have been established to mitigate those risks. The Charity's governing document is its Memorandum of Association & Articles of Association. soundLINCS is managed by a voluntary Board of Trustees who are all Directors of the Charity and meet each quarter to review policies and ensure a coherent strategic overview of the Company. The day-to-day operations are delegated to the Chief Executive Officer, Nikki-Kate Heyes MBE and a core staff of 3.5 full time equivalent employees as at 31 March 2021.
Trustees are appointed to the Board for an initial term of three years after which time they are eligible for re-election for a further two years. A full induction to the work of the Charity and its structure and governance is provided. The Charity makes no significant use of volunteers other than the Trustees.
Objectives and activities
The Charities Act 2011 requires that the purpose for which, soundLINCS, the Charity is formed is charitable and fits one of the 13 charitable purposes. In the Company's case this would be to advance the education of the public in the arts with particular but not exclusive reference to music. The Act also states that there is clear benefit to the public. The Trustees of soundLINCS have had regard to the Charity Commission's guidance on public benefit and can confirm that all of the Company's work in 2020/21 has been for the benefit of the public. This annual report provides demonstrable impact on the community.

Achievements and performance
There can be no disputing that 2020 was an extraordinary year; a year when everything stopped overnight. Work ceased, funding was repurposed and uncertainty prevailed as the Coronavirus rampaged throughout the world. The impact on the arts and cultural sector could not be underestimated, neither could the impact on soundLINCS. Covid-19 hit soundLINCS hard. Partner organisations, working with the vulnerable members of the community, continued to implement 'no visitors’ rules to buildings. Accordingly, any development of new projects or work ceased. By March most of our anticipated funding was removed by providers. Potential income streams established by our fundraiser in 2019/20 with philanthropists and companies were wiped out. soundLINCS acted rapidly, pausing and ring fencing all active projects, furloughing all staff and the voluntary Board of Trustees took over the running of the Company. All non-essential costs were stopped and negotiations successfully reduced our office space and associated rent by 82% whilst making full use of remote communication. Fortnightly meetings of a Trustees’ Finance Sub Group was instigated to closely monitor the Company's financial situation. soundLINCS successfully secured funding from the Arts Council England Emergency Fund, the Cultural Recovery Fund, a Small Business Discretionary Grant and, significantly, project funding from the National Lottery Community Fund which, together with Furlough, ensured that in November 2020, the voluntary Board of Trustees handed back a relatively healthy Company to the staff. However, with a second lockdown imposed and Lincolnshire moving into Tier 3 restrictions, staff continued to work from home, with hours rigorously controlled to ensure limited funds were spent as efficiently as possible, whilst many of the Company's existing projects were still unable to be opened up. The value of soundLINCS' work in a post-Covid world has been recognised by the award from the National Lottery Community Fund to provide music sessions to the most vulnerable in society. Restrictions currently hamper delivery but once conditions allow, there is a good level of confidence that this important work will form a healthy foundation for future soundLINCS' income opportunities. Accordingly, soundLINCS has developed office and workshop (physical and digital) Covid-safe policies and practices for music delivery along with appropriate PPE supply for all workers,
The will to deliver a quality product to people who really need our assistance is a constant driving force with our social and musical impact continuing to be delivered to a diverse and inclusive range of people, from older adults and hospitalised children, to hearing impaired and SEND participants. During the very bleak year, despite the adversity, between the voluntary Board of Trustees and our core team and soundLINCS' Music Facilitators we have:
-
© continued the support for carers, parents and community music professionals through the monthly free soundEMISSION e-bulletin plus the promotion and development of the vast array of musical inclusive toolkits and reports available free from the Company's website.
-
« Maintained a daily activity suggestion via social media.
-
¢ Delivered 104 music & training sessions ranging from 1 hour duration to 1 day. e Remained in contact and employed, where possible, 20 Music Facilitators. ® Reached 75,907 people online. e From 161 different countries.
In addition to this report, a fuller picture of our work, including the outputs and impact of our work, is available on our website www.soundlincs.org. We invite you to visit our site and our associated social media sites to get a greater view of the sheer depth and breadth of the work we do, Our social media Statistics show that more people than ever are getting involved across our platforms: YouTube, Bandcamp, Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and LinkedIn.

Plans for future periods
This is a challenging time as efforts recommence to reinvigorate previous project bids as well as seeking new project funding. Although currently the future looks a Jot brighter with the rollout of the vaccine, this is set against a precarious economic background where Covid-19 may well re-impose restrictions on work and available funding.
As pandemic conditions ease, soundLINCS will continue with the three longer term programmes of work:-
Future of the Past - funded by the National Heritage Lottery and Lincolnshire County Council, which will see soundLINCS as lead applicant working in partnership with the Lincolnshire heritage sector and 4 other arts organisations in the exploration as to how voluntary trustees of 7 heritage sites across Lincolnshire can engage and work with young people to the advancement of understanding between the generations and the promotion of the sites across all the community.
soundPLAT4M programme enters the final year.
soundPLAT4M programme enters the final year. Funded by the National Foundation for Youth Music with additional contributions from partners including Springwell Learning Community Lincolnshire, LCC Future¢Me Service along with Lincolnshire Adoption Service and the Lincolnshire Music Education Hub. The programme continues to create new music-making opportunities for the least advantaged children and young people across the region.
NewTricks:NewWorld which brings music to the most vulnerable older adults of the community.
We hope to be able to continue our Together Through Music partnership for SEND schools music making work; partnering with Lincolnshire County Council to produce FAB! 2022; and review and consult as to the needs of the musicLINK members, whilst ensuring the soundEMission information service is strengthened.
Once restrictions are lifted, our extensive bespoke music delivery project work will continue in a Covid-safe manner and we will continue to partner with other organisations and charities to help create and deliver music programmes to continue ‘Unleashing potential through music’.

Financial review
soundLINCS aims to diversify its income base through funding applications for new and progressive post Covid projects whilst building on its core base of working with children and young people in challenging circumstances,
Actions towards achieving these aims continue with the review and creation of a new post-Covid business plan which will build on the staff re-structure of 2019/20, in line with the post Covid organisation which soundLINCS will become with a focus on increasing the charity's fundraising capacity to sustain and grow the organisation for the foreseeable future.
Post Covid, the charity will review previously repurposed grant applications and assess their fitness and relevance to the current situation. We will continue to work with partners to generate project income and replace lost revenue and work to ensure a solid recovery and programme of work for 2021/22.
