Hospitals Trustees’ Report

The charity's objects as set out in our governing document are to preserve and protect mental health and assist in the rehabilitation of people with mental health problems through music.

Our programmes support young people and adults struggling with depression, anxiety, PTSD, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, & other mental health & neurodiverse conditions.

Using a unique music industry informed, evidence-based therapeutic approach, our work is delivered by specially trained professional producers, artists, managers, industry experts, & creatives.

The activities promote wellbeing and recovery through developing creative, technical and vocational skills - opening pathways to mainstream opportunities in volunteering, training, work experience and employment.

Our work supports groups that are disproportionately represented in the mental health system.

We aim to address health inequalities, social exclusion, and stigma and discrimination around mental health issues. Our services are accessible for musicians and music lovers with all levels of ability and experience. The annual report and accounts have been prepared in accordance with the SORP issued in October 2019; Financial Reporting Standard 102; the Charities Act 2011; the Companies Act 2006 (including provisions in Part 15 applicable to companies subject to the small companies regime) and UK Generally Accepted Accounting Practice.

The organisation is a charitable company limited by guarantee, incorporated on 20th January 2003 and registered as a charity on 17th May 2004.

The company was established under a Memorandum of Association which established the objects and powers of the organisation. Key Changes is governed under its Articles of Association which were most recently updated in October 2020. In the event of the charitable company being wound up members are required to contribute an amount not exceeding £1.

Governance is overseen by a Board of Trustees (the Board) which sets strategic direction, agrees budgets and operational policies and monitors performance. Trustees are recruited to provide the skills and insights the Board judges to be necessary for the effective management of the organisation. These currently include organisational strategy, financial management, fundraising, arts administration, mental health experience and music industry expertise. Trustees are also appointed to provide service user and staff representation. We are currently in the process of recruiting a new treasurer. The Chief Executive Officer attends the Board in his role as Company Secretary but has no voting rights.

Trustees give their time voluntarily and receive no benefits from the charity, except for the staff trustees who receive payment for work undertaken towards the normal operation of business as governed by contracts of service.

Day-to-day management of the organisation is delegated to the Chief Executive Officer, who is responsible for ensuring that the charity delivers the services specified and that key performance indicators are met. The Chief Executive Officer provides individual supervision of the staff team and ensures that the team continuously develop their skills and knowledge in line with good practice.

Requirements for new trustees are identified by the Board, and selective advertising and networking is used to identify candidates with the skills and insights required. Potential candidates are interviewed by the Chief Executive Officer and invited to observe a Board meeting prior to appointment being formalised by the remaining Board member.

Trustee expenses reclaimed from the organisation are shown as governance costs in the accounts.

Trustees are required to disclose all relevant interests and to withdraw from any decisions where a conflict of interest arises.

New trustees are provided with induction materials covering the organisation’s strategy, operating procedures and the expectations and responsibilities of trustees. As a minimum, this includes supported one-to-one review of Safeguarding and other policies, and further safeguarding training facilitated by Key Changes’ organisational safeguarding lead. Where appropriate to their role, trustees may be required to undertake further safeguarding training such as Level 1 Safeguarding Children training, and training on mental health awareness provided by our in-house experts.

The trustees (who are also directors of Key Changes for the purposes of company law) are responsible for preparing the annual report and financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom accounting standards. Company law requires the management committee to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the affairs of the charitable company as at the balance sheet date; and its incoming resources and application of resources including income and expenditure for the financial year.

The trustees are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charitable company, and to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. The trustees are 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.

The annual report and accounts have been prepared in accordance with the SORP issued in October 2019; Financial Reporting Standard (FRS) 102; the Charities Act 2011; the Companies Act 2006 (including provisions in Part 15 applicable to companies subject to the small companies’ regime) and UK Generally Accepted Accounting Practice (UK GAAP).

Chair’s Introduction

In 2023 our services supported people struggling with mental health challenges in Manchester, Birmingham, London, and Brighton. Over 5,000 people directly benefitted from our programmes in hospitals and communities.

Countless others engaged with the charity’s work at concerts and open mics, and through conferences, networks, streaming, and social media.

Our dedicated team worked in partnership with health and social care providers, local authorities, voluntary sector, and the music industry, to develop and deliver creative interventions in response to the support needs of local communities.

Service user involvement is at the core of what we do. Our artists and volunteers represented the charity in Prague as part of an international conference exploring the voice as an instrument of social change.

This year we launched our Musicians Wellbeing Network and new peer mentor progression pathway. Our charity received coverage on national radio and TV and a short film about Key Changes produced by The Media Trust was nominated for the Smiley Charity Film Awards 2024. Our social media channels and label releases streamed on Spotify, Apple, Amazon, You Tube, Bandcamp and Soundcloud, engage with audiences globally.

Mental illness is associated with trauma and distress, health inequality, economic disadvantage, and social injustice. It can reduce peoples’ lives – negatively impacting relationships, employment, finances, and housing. Music is often one of the few things left behind.

Through ongoing innovation of our therapeutic approach, and more streamlined operations and resources, our unique offer now benefits more young people and adults than ever.

We are very grateful to our partners, funders and supporters, acknowledged at the end of this report, without whom our vital services would not be possible.

Pop-up recording studio sessions for young people & adults on inpatient acute, intensive care, rehabilitation, and other psychiatric wards

Hospitals

10

Using a pop-up recording studio format our specially trained musicians and producers encourage patient engagement in song writing, lyricism, beat making, production and recording. The sessions offer an accessible, inclusive and energising mix of genres.

Patients are supported and encouraged to step up to the mic, have a go writing lyrics and music, make beats, produce and record tracks or simply enjoy the sounds.

The objectives are based around social inclusion and recovery and include:

Hospitals

We work closely with ward staff to tailor session format and content to suit ward specialisms and patient interests. An audit after each session reviews clinical feedback, patient engagement and comments and can be included in patient satisfaction surveys.

Our approach is effective in engaging patients who might not be motivated to participate in other ward activities.

It’s a useful way of signposting patients to our community programme, and visits to our studio can be arranged with ward staff or care team which can help to contribute to care planning post-discharge from hospital.

“The positive work that was done with one of our young people was noted throughout the team and we all feel we have a better understanding of their strengths and skills”

FINANCIAL REPORT

Financial Review

Key Changes generated total income of £332,146 in 2022/23, of which £209,789 was unrestricted or earned income. Grant income decreased approximately 30% which reflects the reduction in previous year’s Covid-19 emergency funding grants. Expenditure of £550,820 was mitigated by an opening balance of unrestricted funds brought forward. General donations were £1,661. At the end of the reporting period the total reserves of the charity were £35,777 of which £2,082 were restricted and £33,695 were unrestricted.

Reserves Policy

The trustees seek to maintain a financial reserve in order to protect the organisation and its services from financial disruption and provide working capital for innovation and service development. In order to maximise funding of service delivery and minimize unnecessary retention of income, the trustees have determined that the organisation needs free reserves to cover three months of core costs, and one month of project delivery costs. At budgeted activity levels this equates to £39,000. At the end of the reporting period the charity held reserves of £35,777 of which £2,082 were in relation to the restricted reserves.

Year ended 31 March 2023

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 2023.

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.

  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

Notes to the Financial Statements

Year ended 31 March 2023

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 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.

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.

3. Accounting policies (continued)

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:

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.

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:

3. Accounting policies (continued)

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.

3. Accounting policies (continued)

Financial instruments (continued)

For all equity instruments regardless of significance, and other financial assets that are individually significant, these are assessed individually for impairment. Other financial assets are either assessed individually or grouped on the basis of similar credit risk characteristics.

Any reversals of impairment are recognised immediately, to the extent that the reversal does not result in a carrying amount of the financial asset that exceeds what the carrying amount would have been had the impairment not previously been recognised.

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.
