## About Key Changes 

We’re a national charity working with local communities to promote positive mental health & wellbeing through music. 

Our services support people struggling with depression, anxiety, PTSD, bipolar, psychosis, neurodiverse conditions including ADHD, autism spectrum disorder, dyslexia, dyspraxia and other learning disabilities. 

Using a unique music industry informed, evidence based therapeutic approach, our work is delivered by a mentor team composed of specially trained professional producers, artists, managers, industry experts and  creatives. 

Our programmes are specifically designed for, and with, groups that are disproportionately represented in the mental health system. We aim to address health inequalities, social exclusion, and stigma and discrimination.

Since 1997 we have been supporting people experiencing barriers to mainstream opportunities due to mental ill health. 

More than 85% of participants have been from low-income Black or other minority ethnic backgrounds of whom a third have first engaged whilst sectioned under the Mental Health Act. 

We have a track record of supporting ‘hard to reach’ communities and developing specialist projects for groups including asylum seekers, refugees, individuals from the LGBTQ+ community. 

Our evidence-based approach draws on clinical therapeutic techniques combined with specifically adapted elements of music industry practice. 

Our innovative programmes support creative, technical and vocational skills and open pathways to mainstream opportunities in education, training, work experience and employment.

## Chair's report 

All the people we help each year are struggling with mental illness and the stigma, discrimination, social injustice, and health inequalities that come with it. Increasingly they’re also dealing with homelessness or housing insecurity, money worries, food and fuel poverty. Over 95% are unemployed or low income; 85% are from racialised communities. 

Our services are being provided against a backdrop of the ongoing effects of the pandemic, economic and political uncertainty, funding cuts and reductions to support elsewhere. Daily, our staff find themselves being asked to take up the slack, navigating the Care Act and Mental Health Act to ensure we can continue to meet ever more complex needs. 

Remarkably, the charity has continued to thrive. The dedication and passion of our CEO and staff team, trustees, volunteers, and service users has contributed to positive progress towards our Business Plan key priorities: 

- Recognition as national leading authority on specialist music services for mental health Build music industry support to raise profile within the industry/wider public Broker external research support to validate & showcase our unique impact Adapt effectively to changing mental health needs in the wake of COVID19 

Board sub-committees provide strategic expertise in health and social care and the music industry. Investment from Nesta’s Cultural Impact Development Fund is facilitating new partnerships with local authorities and NHS. The introduction of our new Lamplight database and online systems have delivered service improvements and efficiencies. Our record label, membership of networks including Culture Health Wellbeing Alliance, and extensive media coverage brings our work to growing audiences. 

The resulting energy and momentum, together with ongoing coproduction with our service users, means the charity is well placed to respond to these challenging times.

## **Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of Key Changes: Positive Mental Health Through Music Limited** 

## **Year ended 31 March 2022** 

I report to the trustees on my examination of the financial statements of Key Changes: Positive Mental Health Through Music Limited ('the charity') for the year ended 31 March 2022. 

## **Responsibilities and basis of report** 

As the trustees of the company (and also its directors for the purposes of company law) you are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 ('the 2006 Act’). 

Having satisfied myself that the accounts of the company 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 as 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** 

Since the charity’s gross income exceeded £250,000 your examiner must be a member of a body listed in section 145 of the 2011 Act. I confirm that I am qualified to undertake the examination because I am a member of the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants, which is one of the listed bodies. 

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 financial statements do not accord with those records; or 

3. the financial statements 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 financial statements 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).

# **Company Limited by Guarantee** 

## **Notes to the Financial Statements** 

## **Year ended 31 March 2022** 

## **1. General information** 

The charity is a public benefit entity and a private company limited by guarantee, registered in England and Wales and a registered charity in England and Wales. The address of the registered office is Green Fish Resource Centre, 46-50 Oldham Street, Manchester, M4 1LE. 

## **2. Statement of compliance** 

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Statement of Recommended Practice: Accounting and Reporting by Charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS102) issued in October 2019 and the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland (FRS102), the Charities Act 2011, the Companies Act 2006 and UK Generally Accepted Practice as it applies from 1 January 2019. 

## **3. Accounting policies** 

## **Basis of preparation** 

The financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis. 

The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the entity. 

## **Going concern** 

The trustees have considered all relevant factors, including the long-term impact of COVID-19 on the charity's activities and have concluded there is no significant impact on the Organisation. 

It is therefore considered that the going concern status remains intact and there are no material uncertainties about the charity’s ability to continue. 

## **Judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty** 

The preparation of the financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported. These estimates and judgements are continually reviewed and are based on experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. 

## Significant judgements 

There are no judgements (apart from those involving estimations) that management has made in the process of applying the entity's accounting policies and that have the most significant effect on the amounts recognised in the financial statements. 

## **Fund accounting** 

Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the trustees to further any of the charity's purposes. 

Designated funds are unrestricted funds earmarked by the trustees for particular future project or commitment. 

Restricted funds are subjected to restrictions on their expenditure declared by the donor or through the terms of an appeal and fall into one of two sub-classes: restricted income funds or endowment funds.

**3. Accounting policies** _**(continued)**_ 

## **Incoming resources** 

All incoming resources are included in the statement of financial activities when entitlement has passed to the charity; it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the charity and the amount can be reliably measured. The following specific policies are applied to particular categories of income: 

- income from donations or grants is recognised when there is evidence of entitlement to the gift, receipt is probable and its amount can be measured reliably. 

- legacy income is recognised when receipt is probable and entitlement is established. 

- income from donated goods is measured at the fair value of the goods unless this is impractical to measure reliably, in which case the value is derived from the cost to the donor or the estimated resale value. Donated facilities and services are recognised in the accounts when received if the value can be reliably measured. No amounts are included for the contribution of general volunteers. 

- income from contracts for the supply of services is recognised with the delivery of the contracted service. This is classified as unrestricted funds unless there is a contractual requirement for it to be spent on a particular purpose and returned if unspent, in which case it may be regarded as restricted. 

## **Resources expended** 

Expenditure is recognised on an accruals basis as a liability is incurred. Expenditure includes any VAT which cannot be fully recovered, and is classified under headings of the statement of financial activities to which it relates: 

- expenditure on raising funds includes the costs of all fundraising activities, events, non-charitable trading activities, and the sale of donated goods. 

- expenditure on charitable activities includes all costs incurred by a charity in undertaking activities that further its charitable aims for the benefit of its beneficiaries, including those support costs and costs relating to the governance of the charity apportioned to charitable activities. 

- other expenditure includes all expenditure that is neither related to raising funds for the charity nor part of its expenditure on charitable activities. 

All costs are allocated to expenditure categories reflecting the use of the resource. Direct costs attributable to a single activity are allocated directly to that activity. Shared costs are apportioned between the activities they contribute to on a reasonable, justifiable and consistent basis. 

## **Operating leases** 

Lease payments are recognised as an expense over the lease term on a straight-line basis. The aggregate benefit of lease incentives is recognised as a reduction to expense over the lease term, on a straight-line basis.

## **Year ended 31 March 2022** 

## **3. Accounting policies** _**(continued)**_ 

## **Tangible assets** 

Tangible assets are initially recorded at cost, and subsequently stated at cost less any accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. Any tangible assets carried at revalued amounts are recorded at the fair value at the date of revaluation less any subsequent accumulated depreciation and subsequent accumulated impairment losses. 

An increase in the carrying amount of an asset as a result of a revaluation, is recognised in other recognised gains and losses, unless it reverses a charge for impairment that has previously been recognised as expenditure within the statement of financial activities.  A decrease in the carrying amount of an asset as a result of revaluation, is recognised in other recognised gains and losses, except to which it offsets any previous revaluation gain, in which case the loss is shown within other recognised gains and losses on the statement of financial activities. 

## **Depreciation** 

Depreciation is calculated so as to write off the cost or valuation of an asset, less its residual value, over the useful economic life of that asset as follows: 

Fixtures, fittings and equipment - Straight line over 3 years 

## **Impairment of fixed assets** 

A review for indicators of impairment is carried out at each reporting date, with the recoverable amount being estimated where such indicators exist. Where the carrying value exceeds the recoverable amount, the asset is impaired accordingly. Prior impairments are also reviewed for possible reversal at each reporting date. 

For the purposes of impairment testing, when it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, an estimate is made of the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs. The cash-generating unit is the smallest identifiable group of assets that includes the asset and generates cash inflows that largely independent of the cash inflows from other assets or groups of assets. 

## **Financial instruments** 

A financial asset or a financial liability is recognised only when the charity becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. 

Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at the amount receivable or payable including any related transaction costs.

Current assets and current liabilities are subsequently measured at the cash or other consideration expected to be paid or received and not discounted. 

Debt instruments are subsequently measured at amortised cost. 

## **Defined contribution plans** 

Contributions to defined contribution plans are recognised as an expense in the period in which the related service is provided. Prepaid contributions are recognised as an asset to the extent that the prepayment will lead to a reduction in future payments or a cash refund. 

When contributions are not expected to be settled wholly within 12 months of the end of the reporting date in which the employees render the related service, the liability is measured on a discounted present value basis. The unwinding of the discount is recognised as an expense in the period in which it arises.
