## **Pie Factory Music** 

## **Trustees Annual Report : April 2021 - March 2022** 

## **Structure, Governance & Management** 

Pie Factory Music is a charitable company limited by guarantee, incorporated 27th November 2002 and registered as a charity on 16th May 2003.  The company was established under a memorandum of association which established the objects and powers of the charitable company and is governed under its articles of association. 

All Trustees give their time voluntarily and receive no benefits from the charity for this role. 

The Board of Trustees review the aims, objectives and activities of the charity each year.  This report looks at what the charity has achieved and the outcomes of its work over the past 12 months.  The Board of Trustees report the success of each key activity and the benefits the charity has brought to the young people it was set up to help. The review also helps the Board of Trustees ensure the charity’s aims, objectives and activities remain focused on its stated purposes. 

The Board of Trustees and Senior Management Team met on a quarterly basis to discuss matters arising, agree policy updates and complete tasks related to governance such as scrutinising financial and operational reports and updating the organisational risk register. 

As well as full Board meetings, the Trustees and Senior Management Team worked in three subgroups, helping to move the charity forward and keep focus on specific areas: Finance and Governance, People and Fundraising. This way of working together provides a robust and tangible implementation of our governance structure, improving the efficacy of a cohesive leadership team. 

## **Covid-19** 

Along with the rest of the country, PFM experienced the full effects of Covid-19 and the respective levels of lockdown throughout 2021 and the beginning of 2022. 

During lockdowns PFM used working virtually to provide constant support and sessions for young people across East Kent. Operational practices were widened to facilitate this move to remote digital youth work practice, and a number of policies and procedures were reviewed and rewritten to ensure that the charity, staff and young people were protected and considered to the fullest extent. This included writing a new policy on Social Media. 

## **Objectives and Activities** 

Pie Factory Music is an East Kent organisation that aims to enrich the lives of young people and enable change through creativity, openness and leadership. PFM’s year round work is focused on supporting children, young people and their families in the most deprived and disadvantaged wards in Ramsgate and Dover. Our aims and objectives are to: 

- **Reduce barriers to participation** by creating an environment and space for learning that is safe and unintimidating 

- **Increase social inclusion** by promoting positive views of young people and their role in the community 

3 



- **Increase social responsibility** by encouraging young people to understand their social responsibilities as part of the communities they live in 

- **Encourage creativity** by facilitating young people's exploration of music-making in its widest sense, encouraging experimentation and the pushing of boundaries, facilitating the creation of new and original styles of music and lyric writing, promoting positivity and discouraging glorification of social degradation and violence 

- I **ncrease employability** by providing the skills, qualifications and knowledge needed for young people to be considered for further education and/or employment 

In the last year, the activities programmed by PFM have been streamlined into four main programme streams: Youth Work, Music & Creative Arts, Pastoral Support and Workforce Development. Organising the programme into these four areas has provided the opportunity for staff to work in structured teams, resulting in the recruitment of a Youth Work Programme Manager and an Operations Administrator. 

## **Youth Work Programme** 

This has been a challenging year in regards to youth work, however we have seen incredible resilience from our team and from the young people in adhering to pandemic-related restrictions and finding ways through the challenges. 

## **Youth Club Sessions** 

**A.C.T!** – our youth-led community social action group scoped the coast for worthy causes to highlight and extend a helping hand. They delivered care packages to young people at home, held a Big Sleep Out for Thanet Shelter and an in-person summer fun day for local families raising £300 for the MPS Society, and made and delivered Christmas cards to seniors in care homes. 

**Detached -** this is a youth work approach where we engage with young people where they choose to meet e.g. town centres, outside of centre-based activities. Our detached youth work offer continued throughout the year to ensure that we were supporting those young people negatively affected by C-19. This was one of our most successful years for detached youth work with relationships deepening with young people and partnership working across East Kent. 

**Bike project -** the bike project proved to be a popular and useful project that was able to continue for most of the year due to its 1:1 / small group nature. We also saw a number of young people moving from this project into other projects. 

## **Residentials and Trips: A Summer of Fun and Opportunity** 

We celebrated the return of in-person sessions and events with DJing, looping, animation and graffiti workshops produced with our partners Arts Education Exchange, cinema trips, youth centre activities and a trip away for some to the Arete outdoor education centre. This gave young people the chance to throw themselves into daring challenges and the revivingly cold water of the Welsh coast.

## **Wider community Work** 

PFM continues to be an integral part of the strategic planning of children and young people services in Thanet.  We sit on a number of strategic boards, including the Children’s Trust Board and Thanet Community Safety Partnership.  These look at multi-agency approaches to reducing targets such as crime, anti-social behaviour, rubbish, health issues, etc. 

## **Music & Creative Arts Programme** 

Music is a superb tool for motivation, inclusion, health and play.  PFM uses this tool effectively through a broad range of free music focused activities, including fun days, taster days, workshops, weekly programme, events, dvd and video creation, animations, lyric and song writing, performances and audio recordings.  This work consistently raises levels of self-worth and confidence.  For those young people who want to take their experience with us further, PFM works with youth and statutory organisations to provide educational and vocational pathways. 

Across 2021-22, a total of 144 young people accessed Music and Creative Arts through a wide range of services and programmes, including Emerging Artists, Girls Programme, Studio Sessions, Band Factory, Recording sessions and funding one to ones. In total, 152 sessions were delivered by creative practitioners. 

## **Emerging Artists** 

Notable activities included: 

- Live-streamed gig (Revival), May 2021 

- Record label project with Moshi Moshi Records, June 2021 

- Recording session for Malpractice 

- Launch of Wantsum Music? record label and launch party at Tom Thumb Theatre, December 2021 

Plans going forward include the Wantsum Music? collective curated Busk at Dusk Stage at Ramsgate Festival of Sound opening event in August 2022, and the second single release for Wantsum Music? by artists Debdepan in September 2022. 

## **Girls Programme** 

The Girls Progamme was created to support female and non-binary young people who felt unable to join our wider music programme. It came off of the back of the lack of applications we had from female and non-binary young people for the Emerging Artists Programme. 

Notable activities included: 

- One in-person gig as part of Art31 Youth Takeover Festival at the Gulbenkian Theatre, June 2021 

- Francesca Ter-Berg songwriting project, June-July 2021 

- Palm Bay Music recording project, August 2021 

- Performance opportunities for young people as soloists at Ramsgate Festival of Sound and Rosslyn Court, August 2021 

- Collaboration with sound artist Shireen Qureshi for exhibition on Ramsgate Bandstand as part of Ramsgate Festival of Sound, August 2021 

5 



- Trips to local venues, Tom Thumb Theatre and Elsewhere. 

- ‘Raise our Voices’ live music event at Ramsgate Music Hall as part of POW Festival, March 2022 

Plans going forward include the performance of original composition at Battle of the Bands event as part of GENFest – ART31 at Gulbenkian in July 2022; individual mentoring from Kimberley Anne (Palm Bay Music), drummer Jax Titmus, and poet and performer Brigitte Aphrodite; and small residencies for individual members at Screaming Alley (Ramsgate-based cabaret), 101 Social Club Open Mic Night, Hutstock Festival in Whitstable, and sound engineering at Rosslyn Court and Tom Thumb Theatre. 

Our open-access studio and band room sessions moved between online and face-to-face sessions as restrictions allowed and were some of the highest attended sessions of the year. 

## **Pastoral Care Programme** 

## **Soundcheck Counselling** 

- 50 individual young people were referred into our newly established counselling services 

- 83 counselling sessions were attended 

- 12 individual young people finished a counselling course with us and feel they no longer need counselling 

Our counselling provision is expanding in order to meet an increasing demand. 

Young people are initially offered 6 counselling sessions and, between them and their counsellor, the sessions may continue.  On average, we're seeing young people attend between 12 and 18 sessions 

## **Creative Interventions** 

Individual Young people Referred: 10 Total sessions : 60 

Our Creative Intervention service has proved to be very successful in the development of young people. We were able to support 10 young people with Creative Interventions including a variety of activities from music to bike maintenance. 

One of the young people who was partaking in a Creative Intervention with us has built up their confidence and has now moved into our Live Room sessions and is working alongside other young people in making music together. This young person also won a Try-Angle Award for their progress in creativity. 

## **Food Bank** 

The food bank has continued to be an essential part of our pastoral support for not only the young people and their families that attend our programmes, but also the wider community in the Thanet area. 

With over 21 boxes given out feeding 44 people, we have been able to look at how we can develop this service for the future. 

6 



## **Care Packs** 

In the summer, we gave over 270 food and uniform vouchers for those with a low income in the Thanet and Dover districts so that they could enjoy eating out and stave off rising costs ahead of the new school year. 

## **Workforce Development** 

In terms of our workforce, this year has been about acknowledging the challenges of the pandemic and consolidating our learning about wellbeing to support our team’s ongoing recovery as best we can. We have worked hard to establish wellbeing as a core value of our organisation and the following milestones show our progress towards this. 

## Milestones 

- Formalised Wellbeing Policy 

- Continued to allocate specific budget to staff wellbeing 

- Secured Youth Music Recharge funding for the next 2 years which enables: 

   - Counselling and physical therapies for staff 

   - Personal wellbeing budget for staff 

   - Staff socials 

   - Refreshments for team lunches 

   - Investors in Wellbeing accreditation 

   - Mental Health First Aid Champion training 

- Included the following outcomes in our organisational evaluation framework, enabling us to better monitor our Workforce Development

- As well as our mandatory training we have also offered our staff specialist training in: 

   - Anti-racism 

   - Gender identity and supporting transgender young people 

   - Understanding Trauma 

## **Marketing & Communications** 

PFMs communications continued to grow and develop in 2021-22. Working with Communications Consultant BeeBee Communications, a number of campaigns and initiatives were undertaken to advance the charity’s marketing, both internally and externally. These included the launch of the Wantsum Music? youth record label, Soundcheck fundraiser round two which raised £1500, a brand, values and mission review team workshop and Pie20 communications workshop for 2022-23 planning, and the development of the Slice of Pie podcast. 

7 



Alongside this, all areas of PFM’s comms were developed including more regular and targeted e- newsletters, website updates, press, content planning and reporting, as well as the mentoring of PFM’s Content Producer, the Communications Volunteer from Canterbury College and Emerging Artists to provide skills development. We focussed on enhancing and increasing our messaging around PFM’s wide range of work, particularly pastoral and wellbeing, as well communicating the voices of young people and opportunities for them to be heard. 

The **Content Producer** continues to work with BeeBee Communications, with weekly catch up sessions. They create exceptional designs for PFM’s social media and are gaining greater confidence in copywriting, assisting in the writing and scheduling of social media posts. They have now been trained in updating Pie Factory Music’s website and are currently working on creating a dedicated page for the Girls Programme to showcase this important stream of work and the success of the participants and practise what they’ve learnt. 

A **volunteer** from Canterbury College Media and Journalism course joined us for 6 months from autumn 2021 - spring 2022. As an aspiring music journalist, BeeBee Communications focused on training them in writing press releases, assisting in the Wantsum Music? label launch and first single release press releases and writing a review of the launch gig. 

## **Podcast** 

In spring 2021-22 PFM started recording a series of podcast episodes planned, led and created by young people, working with Podcast Producer Buddy Peace at Ramsgate Radio. The group have worked collaboratively on the ideas, planning and marketing ready for launch in autumn 2022, to coincide with the Pie20 party. The podcast will be streamed across all platforms and we’ll be engaging local and regional press. 

## **Wantsum Music?** 

We successfully launched social media channels for PFM’s youth record label Wantsum Music? (WM?) and delivered comms campaigns to support the launch of the label gig, first single release and partner event with Tonetic Records, including press, e-news, web, blog stories, insta stories and videos. Working closely with the Emerging Artists, BeeBee Communications has mentored the group in marketing their label and has worked collaboratively with them on all aspects, alongside advice from Simon at City Slang Records. 

WM? featured on BBC Radio Kent, Academy FM, in the Isle of Thanet News, Ramsgate Recorder (p.41) and Cene Magazine. 

## **Finance Review** 

We continued to work under KCC commissions for Dover and Thanet for our youth provision following an extension after the original 5-year commission ended.  This extension will carry us through to the end of March 2023 and has enabled us to continue providing essential youth work during these difficult and trying times through Covid-19 and increases in the cost of living. 

We have had a successful year of securing further funding to enhance our youth work programme and expand our music and creative arts programme, as well as continuing to fulfil existing contracts, which we recognised are set to increase in the coming year rather than decrease. 

8 



A further fundraising campaign this year enabled us to build on our focus on supporting those young people who have been severely struggling through the ongoing effects of the pandemic and lockdown by offering further 1:1 sessions, creative interventions, the bike project and specialised counselling. 

Our key funding streams are listed below: 

- **Kent County Council, Thanet** : Extension to a 5-year commission for the youth provision for the district of Thanet, in partnership with The Zone, Broadstairs.  Restricted to youth provision for 8-19 years (up to 25 with disabilities).

9 



- **Dover District Council:** Grant to support work addressing regeneration through culture, harnessing children and young people’s voices to help shape a coherent Dover creative vision, build a Dover-specific Cultural Education Partnership and build on existing highquality arts provision to develop a vibrant and coordinated group of committed stakeholders.

- **Violence Reduction Unit** : Grant awarded to offer bespoke 1:1 sessions through bike maintenance for high-risk young people in need of extra support. 

- **Soundcheck Crowdfunder** : A self-initiated crowdfunding campaign to raise money in response to the increased need evidenced in the young people we work with of reduced mental well-being due to the effects of lockdown and the pandemic, enabling PFM to offer counselling and 1:1 sessions free of charge. 

- **Donations** : Gift Aid and support for the Soundcheck Crowdfunder to be used against costs involved in providing counselling services and 1:1 sessions for young people. 

Any monies in the independently examined financial statements showing as a surplus are due to awarded funds and grants restricted for specific workshops and/or in addition to PFM’s Reserves Policy and are therefore not profit. 

Any monies made during the course of the financial year from invoiced-for projects, studio income, equipment and venue hire are invested back into the programme of events, core costs, repairs and maintenance. 

## **Reserves Policy** 

## **Introduction** 

Pie Factory Music operates a Reserves Policy which is a designated figure for the sole purpose of supporting essential staff and building operations in the event of unforeseen difficulties.  The monies for the Reserves Policy have been built up since 2002 from surplus income and are not grant funded or restricted. 

## **Current Policy** 

A formal policy on reserves was agreed at the Directors meeting held on 9[th] May 2006 and is reviewed annually.  It states: 

The Trustees have set a reserves policy that requires: 

- reserves be maintained at a level which ensures that Pie Factory Music organisation’s core activity could continue during a period of unforeseen difficulty; 

- a proportion of reserves are maintained in a readily realisable form. 

## **Risk Management** 

The Trustees confirm that the major risks to which the charity is exposed, as identified by the Trustees and Senior Management Team, have been reviewed and systems have been established to manage those risks, including financial provision. 

10 



## **Organisational Commitments** 

The level of the Reserves Policy will ensure that the Senior Management Team will continue to be employed for a period of three months in order for those staff members to source funding to resume the organisation's activities. 

The level of the Reserves Policy will also cover the core operational costs for three months, to ensure that Pie Factory Music’s headquarters are maintained whilst further funding is being sourced. 

The Reserves Policy is also there in circumstances where the organisation may need to cease to trade to meet outstanding liabilities, including redundancies. 

## **Current Reserves Level** 

The Trustees have agreed the level of £90,000 being suitable to mitigate against these risks. Reserves of £90,000 are set in place. 

Should the necessity arise, strategies to increase the level of reserves are in place and are outlined in the Management Risk Assessment. 

The Reserve Policy will be reviewed annually to ensure that it is a true reflection of the level of commitment to ensure that Pie Factory Music will be able to maintain its core activities in the event of any unforeseen difficulties. 

## **Plans for the Future** 

Pie Factory Music will continue: 

- to assess the risks and manage those risks to the best of its abilities 

- to source funding that permits full cost recovery 

- to continue running and co-ordinating the youth service provision from Ramsgate Youth Centre until such time as the commission for that service has come to an end 

- to continue running and co-ordinating the youth service provision for Dover until such time as the commission for that service has come to an end 

- to explore alternative premises options should the commissioned youth services be changed 

- to use different media channels to keep stakeholders informed of the workshop programme and youth centre provision 

- to maintain an up to date website 

- to maintain an up to date presence on social media, e.g. twitter, facebook, instagram 

- to explore other avenues of income generation including sponsorship 

- to expand on establishing itself across East Kent and to research & source further options in a bid to aid the sustainability of the charity 

- to further develop and strengthen existing partnerships across East Kent 

The new financial year will see a strong emphasis on publicity and social media to raise awareness of Pie Factory Music and the new undertakings for 2022/23 in general, with a focus on the development and embedding of our provision across the board, as well as the introduction of a new role, Operations Manager, as part of the streamlining process start this year. 

11 



PFM will look at expanding the income streams to incorporate and embed more music and creative arts activities, in line with our mission statement. 

## **Conclusion** 

Pie Factory Music has had a successful year of workshop attendances and project outcomes and continues to make strides towards becoming sustainable for the future in this unsettled economic climate, exploring various income generating options, thus fulfilling an original funding stipulation as set out by Youth Music. 

PFM is dedicated to explore and examine possible options for the sustainability and the continuation of the programme and to progress and promote the charity to its fullest potential whilst continuing to support as many young people across East Kent as possible. 

With continued support from the Board of Trustees, the local Council and community members, Pie Factory Music will continue its growth and expansion in and across East Kent. 

## **Structure, Governance & Management** 

## **1. Governing Document** 

The organisation is a company limited by guarantee (registered 27th November 2002) with charitable status (registered 16th May 2003).  The company was established under a Memorandum of Association which established the objects and powers of the charitable company and is governed under its Articles of Association.  In the event of the company being wound up Trustees are required to contribute an amount not exceeding £1. 

## **2. Recruitment & Appointment of Management Committee** 

The directors of the company are also charity trustees for the purposes of charity law and under the company’s Articles are known as members of the Management Committee. 

## **3. Risk Management** 

The management committee has conducted a review of the major risks to which the charity is exposed.  A risk register has been established and is updated at least annually.  Where appropriate, systems or procedures have been established to mitigate the risks the charity faces.  Internal control risks are minimised by the implementation of procedures for authorisation of all transactions and projects.  Procedures are in place to ensure compliance with health and safety of staff, volunteers, clients and visitors to the centre and programme of workshops. 

## **Responsibilities of the Management Committee** 

Company law requires the Management Committee to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of the affairs of the charitable company as at the balance sheet date and of its incoming resources and application of resources, including income and expenditure, for the financial year.  In preparing those financial statements, the Management Committee should follow best practice and: 

- select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently; 

12 



- make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; 

- prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is not appropriate to assume that the company will continue on that basis. 

The Management Committee is responsible for maintaining proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charitable company and to enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 1985.  The Management Committee is also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charitable company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities. 

## **Members of the Management Committee** 

Members of the management committee, who are directors for the purpose of company law and trustees for the purpose of charity law, who served during the year and up to the date of this report are set out on page 2. 

In accordance with company law, as the company’s directors, we certify that: 

- so far as we are aware, there is no relevant audit information of which the company’s auditors are unaware; and 

- as the directors of the company we have taken all the steps that we ought to have taken in order to make ourselves aware of any relevant audit information and to establish that the charity’s auditors are aware of that information. 

Approved by the Management Committee on 1st February 2023 and signed on its behalf by:

An increase in the carrying amount of an asset as a result of a revalualion, is recognised in other
recognised gains and losses, unless it revefses a Charge for impairment that has previously been
r￿ognISed as expenditure within the statement of fina￿la1 aclwilh8s. A decrease in the carrying

A review for indicators of impairment is carried out al each rewting dale. with the recoverable
amount being estimated where such indicators exist. INhere the carrying value exceeds the
recoverable amount, the as$el is impaired accordingly. Prior impairments are also reviewed for

For the purFoses of impairrnent testing, when it 1$ ml possible to esllmale the recoverable
amounl of an individual asset, an estimate is made of the recoverable amount of the
