The trustees are listed on page 1 of these financial statements. ## **Officers** **Chair** Jacqui Cameron **Company Secretary** Paul Moffatt ## **Objectives and activities** ## _**Objects and aims**_ The objects of Yorkshire Young Musicians ("YYM") are to advance the education of musically talented children and young people and to afford access to music education to young people in particular by the provision of a music school and centre of excellence in music education and performance. ## _**Public benefit**_ The charity provides a music school and centre of excellence in music education and performance, in order to advance the education of musically talented children and young people, and to afford access to music education to young people. The trustees confirm that they have complied with the requirements of section 17 of the Charities Act 2011 to have due regard to the public benefit guidance published by the Charity Commission for England and Wales. ## **Financial review** ## _**Policy on reserves**_ The Directors and Trustees endeavour to maintain a minimum level of free reserves adequate to provide sufficient funding to cover their expectations of YYM’s operating expenditure after taking account of its future known and anticipated income, in particular to ensure reserves are sufficient to cover the immediate expenditure required to meet the specific risks facing the organisation (see below). Page 3 ## **Yorkshire Young Musicians** ## **Trustees' Report (continued)** ## **Plans for future periods** ## _**Aims and key objectives for future periods**_ The aims for future periods are: • finding support for future young musicians who, due to the focus on core curriculum, may now find it difficult to study music at school; • the consolidation of the new foundation level and increasing the visibility of the charity; and • ensuring that the current funding from the Department for Education, Music and Dance Scheme is secured beyond the current agreement. ## **Small companies provision statement** This report has been prepared in accordance with the small companies regime under the Companies Act 2006. ## **Structure, governance and management** ## _**Nature of governing document**_ YYM was established as a company limited by guarantee on 16 August 2004 and was registered as a charity on 1 March 2005. The company was established under a Memorandum of Association which established the object and powers of the charitable company and is governed under its Articles of Association. Under those Articles, the trustees are elected at the AGM. The Founder trustees were: - Music Mark (formerly "Federation of Music Services, Yorkshire & Humber Region") - Leeds Conservatoire (formerly "Leeds College of Music") - Opera North Page 4 ## **Yorkshire Young Musicians** ## **Trustees' Report (continued)** ## _**Recruitment and appointment of trustees**_ The Trustees when complete consist of at least three and not more than 10 individuals, all of whom must be members. The Board of Trustees shall consist of the following.- - no more than two authorised representatives of Opera North - no more than two authorised representatives of Leeds Conservatoire - no more than two authorised representatives of Music Mark (the above three - comprising the "Founder Trustees") - no more than four persons appointed (and removed) by the Founder trustees - ("Appointed Trustees") The subscribers to the Memorandum are the first Trustees (and the first Founder Trustees). Every Trustee after appointment or reappointment must sign a declaration of willingness to act as a charity trustee of the Charity before he or she may vote at any meeting of the Trustees. An Appointed Trustee's term of office shall be set by the founder Trustees, and the maximum term of office for any Trustee without a one year break is nine years. The Trustees may at any time co-opt any individual who is qualified to be appointed as a Trustee, to fill a vacancy in the Trustees' number. Such "Co-opted Trustee" holds office only until such vacancy is filled by a Founder Trustee or Appointed Trustee as the case may be. Page 5 ## **Yorkshire Young Musicians** ## **Trustees' Report (continued)** ## _**Major risks and management of those risks**_ ## _Reserves_ The Trustees have undertaken a risk management review and consider that the current reserves of YYM provide an appropriate cushion against adverse outcomes. The key risks identified along with key mitigation measures (other than the holding of appropriate reserves) are set out below. ## _Reliance on government income_ The organisation is highly dependent upon Music and Dance Scheme grants for its successful operation. Other income streams are being developed, such an increasing the number of fee paying students. In addition, the Director is in regular contact with the Department for Education to ensure long term availability of grant funding is understood. ## _Student numbers_ The number of students is maintained at an appropriate level through an active programme of student auditions, re-auditions and marketing of the organisation’s activities. ## _Key person risk and succession_ The Head (previously the Director) holds a key position in terms of the operation of the organisation as well as overseeing the musical education of the students over the long term. ## _Management information_ The Trustees ensure there is appropriate management information to make decisions relating to the operation of the organisation through: 1. Monitoring and reporting on student attendance, 2. Central monitoring of the recruitment process, 3. Review of regular finance information provided by the Leeds Conservatoire finance team. ## _Safeguarding_ Yorkshire Young Musicians is committed to the protection and safeguarding of children and young people, and believes the responsibility held in this regard, to promote their interests and well-being, to be of paramount concern. The Board of Trustees of YYM acknowledges its responsibilities for the safeguarding and protection of children and young people under its care, and will monitor and evaluate the policies and procedures on an annual basis in line with current government advice and legislation. Page 6 ## **Yorkshire Young Musicians** ## **Trustees' Report (continued)** ## _Student satisfaction and success_ Students (and their parents where appropriate) are invited to feed back on their experience of YYM. The low number of students dropping out of tuition mid-year and the number who progress to higher education (in particular to study music at conservatoire level or music related degrees) is a testament to the success of the Head (previously the Director), teachers and other staff. ## _Space management_ Currently both centres provide sufficient space for the successful operation of the Sunday morning centres. The Head (previously the Director) provides regular operational updates to the Trustees so that any issues can be highlighted and addressed. ## _Stakeholder management_ There is a good working relationship between the founding organisations. There are Trustee representatives form each organisation as well as independent Trustees. This structure ensures that any issues or conflicts can be dealt with satisfactorily. Page 7 ## **Yorkshire Young Musicians** ## **Statement of Trustees' Responsibilities** The trustees (who are also the directors of Yorkshire Young Musicians for the purposes of company law) are responsible for preparing the trustees' report and the financial statements in accordance with the United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice) and applicable law and regulations. The report and accounts have been prepared in accordance with the provisions in the Companies Act 2006 relating to small companies. Company law requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year. Under company law the trustees must not approve the financial statements unless they are satisfied that they give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charitable company and of its incoming resources and application of resources, including its income and expenditure, for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the trustees are required to: - select suitable accounting policies and apply them consistently; - observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP; - make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; - state whether applicable UK Accounting Standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; and - prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charitable company will continue in business. The trustees are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain the charitable company's transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charitable company and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They 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. Approved by the trustees of the charity on 4 May 2022 and signed on its behalf by: ......................................... R Ashton Trustee Page 8 ## **Yorkshire Young Musicians** ## **Independent Examiner's Report to the trustees of Yorkshire Young Musicians ("the Company")** I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Company for the year ended 31 August 2021. ## **Responsibilities and basis of report** As the charity’s trustees of the Company (and also its directors for the purposes of company law) you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 (‘the 2006 Act’). Having satisfied myself that the accounts of Yorkshire Young Musicians 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 your 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 Company'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 Fox Jennings Cullen, 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 Yorkshire Young Musicians as required by section 386 of the 2006 Act; or 2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or 3. the accounts 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 accounts 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)]. I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

Directors' responsibilities: - The members have not required the charity to obtain an audit of its accounts for the year in question in accordance with section 476; and - The directors acknowledge their responsibilities for complying with the requirements of the Act with respect to accounting records and the preparation of accounts. These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the special provisions relating to companies subject to the small companies regime within Part 15 of the Companies Act 2006. The notes on pages 14 to 27 form an integral part of these financial statements. Page 12 ## **Yorkshire Young Musicians** ## **(Registration number: 05207175) Balance Sheet as at 31 August 2021 (continued)** The financial statements on pages 11 to 27 were approved by the trustees, and authorised for issue on 4 May 2022 and signed on their behalf by: ......................................... R Ashton Trustee The notes on pages 14 to 27 form an integral part of these financial statements. Page 13 ## **Yorkshire Young Musicians** ## **Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 August 2021** ## **1 Charity status** The charity is limited by guarantee, incorporated in England and Wales, and consequently does not have share capital. Each of the trustees is liable to contribute an amount not exceeding £Nil towards the assets of the charity in the event of liquidation. The address of its registered office is: Opera North Limited Grand Theatre 46 New Briggate Leeds West Yorkshire LS1 6NU These financial statements were authorised for issue by the trustees on 4 May 2022. ## **2 Accounting policies** ## **Summary of significant accounting policies and key accounting estimates** The principal accounting policies applied in the preparation of these financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all the years presented, unless otherwise stated. ## **Statement of compliance** The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with 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)) (issued in October 2019) - (Charities SORP (FRS 102)), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Companies Act 2006. ## **Basis of preparation** Yorkshire Young Musicians meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102. Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy notes. Page 14 ## **Yorkshire Young Musicians** ## **Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 August 2021 (continued)** ## **2 Accounting policies (continued)** ## **Going concern** The trustees consider that there are no material uncertainties about the charity's ability to continue as a going concern nor any significant areas that affect the carrying value of assets held by the charity. ## **Exemption from preparing a cash flow statement** The charity opted to early adopt Bulletin 1 published on 2 February 2016 and have therefore not included a cash flow statement in these financial statements. ## **Income and endowments** All income is recognised once the charity has entitlement to the income, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount of the income receivable can be measured reliably. ## _**Donations and legacies**_ Donations are recognised when the charity has been notified in writing of both the amount and settlement date. In the event that a donation is subject to conditions that require a level of performance by the charity before the charity is entitled to the funds, the income is deferred and not recognised until either those conditions are fully met, or the fulfilment of those conditions is wholly within the control of the charity and it is probable that these conditions will be fulfilled in the reporting period. ## _**Grants receivable**_ Grants are recognised when the charity has an entitlement to the funds and any conditions linked to the grants have been met. Where performance conditions are attached to the grant and are yet to be met, the income is recognised as a liability and included on the balance sheet as deferred income to be released. ## _**Investment income**_ Dividends are recognised once the dividend has been declared and notification has been received of the dividend due. Page 15 ## **Yorkshire Young Musicians** ## **Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 August 2021 (continued)** ## **2 Accounting policies (continued)** ## **Expenditure** All expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to that expenditure, it is probable settlement is required and the amount can be measured reliably. All costs are allocated to the applicable expenditure heading that aggregate similar costs to that category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated on a basis consistent with the use of resources, with central staff costs allocated on the basis of time spent, and depreciation charges allocated on the portion of the asset’s use. Other support costs are allocated based on the spread of staff costs. ## _**Charitable activities**_ Charitable expenditure comprises those costs incurred by the charity in the delivery of its activities and services for its beneficiaries. It includes both costs that can be allocated directly to such activities and those costs of an indirect nature necessary to support them. ## _**Grant provisions**_ Provisions for grants are made when the intention to make a grant has been communicated to the recipient but there is uncertainty about either the timing of the grant or the amount of grant payable. ## **Support costs** Support costs include central functions and have been allocated to activity cost categories on a basis consistent with the use of resources, for example, allocating property costs by floor areas, or per capita, staff costs by the time spent and other costs by their usage. ## **Governance costs** These include the costs attributable to the charity’s compliance with constitutional and statutory requirements, including audit, strategic management and trustees’s meetings and reimbursed expenses. Page 16 ## **Yorkshire Young Musicians** ## **Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 August 2021 (continued)** ## **2 Accounting policies (continued)** ## **Government grants** Government grants are recognised based on the accrual model and are measured at the fair value of the asset received or receivable. Grants are classified as relating either to revenue or to assets. Grants relating to revenue are recognised in income over the period in which the related costs are recognised. Grants relating to assets are recognised over the expected useful life of the asset. Where part of a grant relating to an asset is deferred, it is recognised as deferred income. ## **Taxation** The charity is considered to pass the tests set out in Paragraph 1 Schedule 6 of the Finance Act 2010 and therefore it meets the definition of a charitable company for UK corporation tax purposes. Accordingly, the charity is potentially exempt from taxation in respect of income or capital gains received within categories covered by Chapter 3 Part 11 of the Corporation Tax Act 2010 or Section 256 of the Taxation of Chargeable Gains Act 1992, to the extent that such income or gains are applied exclusively to charitable purposes. ## **Tangible fixed assets** Individual fixed assets costing £0.00 or more are initially recorded at cost, less any subsequent accumulated depreciation and subsequent accumulated impairment losses. ## **Depreciation and amortisation** Depreciation is provided on tangible fixed assets so as to write off the cost or valuation, less any estimated residual value, over their expected useful economic life as follows: ## **Asset class** Office equipment **Depreciation method and rate** 25% on cost ## **Current asset investments** Current asset investments are included at the lower of cost and net realisable value / market value. Page 17 ## **Yorkshire Young Musicians** ## **Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 August 2021 (continued)** ## **2 Accounting policies (continued)** ## **Trade debtors** Trade debtors are amounts due from customers for merchandise sold or services performed in the ordinary course of business. Trade debtors are recognised initially at the transaction price. They are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less provision for impairment. A provision for the impairment of trade debtors is established when there is objective evidence that the charity will not be able to collect all amounts due according to the original terms of the receivables. ## **Cash and cash equivalents** Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand and call deposits, and other short-term highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to a known amount of cash and are subject to an insignificant risk of change in value. ## **Fund structure** Unrestricted income funds are general funds that are available for use at the trustees discretion in furtherance of the objectives of the charity. ## **Pensions and other post retirement obligations** The company’s employees belong to the Teachers' Pension Scheme ("TPS") for academic and related staff. This is an independently administered defined-benefit scheme. Under the definitions set out in Financial Reporting Standard ("FRS") 102 (28), the TPS is a multi-employer pension scheme. The company is unable to identify its share of the underlying assets and liabilities of the scheme. Accordingly, the company has taken advantage of the exemption in FRS 102 and has accounted for the scheme as if it were a defined contribution scheme. Page 18 ## **Yorkshire Young Musicians** ## **Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 August 2021 (continued)** ## **2 Accounting policies (continued)** ## **Financial instruments** ## _**Classification**_ The Charity has elected to apply the provisions of Section 11 ‘Basic Financial Instruments’ and Section 12 ‘Other Financial Instruments Issues’ of FRS 102 to all of its financial instruments. Financial instruments are recognised in the Charity's Balance Sheet when the Charity becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. Financial assets and liabilities are offset, with the net amounts presented in the financial statements, when there is a legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously. ## _**Recognition and measurement**_ Basic financial assets, which include debtors and cash and bank balances, are initially measured at transaction price including transaction costs and are subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the transaction is measured at the present value of the future receipts discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial assets classified as receivable within one year are not amortised. Basic financial liabilities, including creditors and bank loans are initially recognised at transaction price unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the debt instrument is measured at the present value of the future receipts discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial liabilities classified as payable within one year are not amortised. Trade creditors are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of operations from suppliers. Amounts payable are classified as current liabilities if payment is due within one year or less. If not, they are presented as non-current liabilities. Trade creditors are recognised initially at transaction price and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Financial liabilities are derecognised only when the obligation specified in the contract is discharged, cancelled or expires.

The pension cost charge for the year represents contributions payable by the charity to the schemes and amounted to £36,175 (2020 - £45,910). Yorkshire Young Musicians participates in two formal pension schemes, being the Teachers’ Pensions Scheme, and a workplace pension scheme operated by “The People’s Pension”. The scheme operated by The People’s Pension is clearly a defined contribution scheme and, as such, no pension liabilities will arise from its implementation. The Teachers’ Pension Scheme is a statutory, unfunded, defined benefit occupational scheme that is a multi-employer plan. Contributions on a “pay as you go” basis are credited to the exchequer under arrangements governed by the Superannuation Act 1972. The government carries out periodic actuarial valuations on a notional set of investments. However, the arrangements for the Teachers’ Pension Scheme mean that the liabilities for employee benefits cannot be identified specifically to the charity. The pension costs are therefore accounted for as if the scheme were a defined contribution scheme under FRS102.
