Trustees. Report (continued)
Major rlsks and management of those risks
Reserves
The Trustees have undertaken a risk management revbew 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 resenles) are set out below.
Reliance on govemment income
The organisation is highly dependent upon Music and Dance Scheme grants for its
successful operation. Other income Streams are being developed, such as
increasing the number of fee paying students. In addilion, the Head 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 rnaintained at an appropriate level through an active
programme of student auditions, re-auditions and marketing of the organisation's
activities.
Key person nsk and succ8ssion
The Head holds a key position in terms of the operation of the organisation as well
as overseeing the Musi￿1 education of the students over the long term.
Management infomyation
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 moniloring 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 5

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. teachers and other staff.
Space management
Currently both centres provKle sufficient space for the successful operation of the
Sunday morning centres. The Head provides regular operational updates to the
Trustees so that any issues can be highlighted and addressed.
Stakeholdermanagement
There is a good working relationship belween the founding organisations. There are
Trustee representatives fom each organisation as well as independent Trustees.
This structure ensures that any issues or conflicts can be dealt with satisfactorily.

19 Pension and other schemes
Yorkshire Young Musicians participates in two formal pension schemes, being the
Teachers, Pensions Scheme. and a Workpla￿ 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 actuarial or funding pension liabilities arise from its
implementation. Contributions unpaid at the year end are included within creditors.
The Teachers, Pension Scheme is a statutory, unfunded. defined benefit
occupational scheme that is a muttiryemployer plan. Contributions on a 'pay as you
go- basis are credited to the exchequer under arrangements governed by the
Superannuation Act 1972. The govemment 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.
The pension cost charge for the year represents contributions payable by the charity
to the two schemes and amounted to £12,435 {2024 - £12.071).
Contributions totalling £92 (2024 - £927) were payable to the schemes at the end of
the year and are included in creditors.
