Report of the Trustees for the Year Ended 31st March 2024
OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES
Charitable Activities
This report provides an overview of the work conducted by our team over the course of 18 months, focusing on the delivery of a traditional arts/music and computer-aided design (CAD) project. The project involved 16 young people from Motherwell, Wishaw, Coatbridge, and Cumbernauld, who took the lead in delivering various activities to engage younger children from local schools and youth clubs. This report highlights the challenges faced by the team during the project and summarizes the outcomes achieved.
The project (which involved 126 younger children from local schools/youth-clubs through outreach sessions, youth-led research, sustained instrumental tuition, SQA levels 5-8 (HND) training and the development of new online content) culminated in a performance and ceilidh (June 15th) and exhibition (July 1st-Sep 30th) held at the Summerlee museum in 2023. This exhibition was launched via a premier of our digitally animated folk tales with a live soundtrack performed by all 126 participating children on pennywhistles whilst the in-situ exhibition involved an augmented reality (AR) experiences of 19th century machinery 3d modelling by HND CAD students from New College Lanarkshire. Participants could use smartphones to view and interact with 3D models superimposed on their surroundings. The AR exhibit showcased the CAD models developed during the project, further enhancing the audience's engagement and immersion. In addition to our family ceilidhs there was a follow up concert performance of these works with a smaller pennywhistle contingent at Cumbernauld Theatre on August 3rd that was aimed at showcasing the work of our music trainees which drew 72 audience members.
o New youth-led steering group has helped manage our activities
o 24 hours of taster-sessions delivered at Summerlee Museum and 2 local STEM groups
o 120 research/learning sessions - 360 hours over 40 weeks
o Collected local tunes, stories, and technical drawings for our own archive
o Youth-led design of new interactive learning materials
o 40 ensemble sessions (120 hours over 20 weeks)
o 6 hours of new online content and 30 minute new work
Throughout the project, a new youth-led steering group effectively managed the activities. The team delivered 24 hours of taster sessions at the Summerlee Museum of Scottish Industrial Life, followed by 120 research and shared-learning sessions spanning a total of 360 hours over 40 weeks. Notably, the team also collected and archived local aural history in collaboration with Culture NL to create an online tune archive. Additionally, the young participants were involved in designing online learning materials, and the project included 40 ensemble sessions lasting 120 hours over 20 weeks.
As a creative team we've explored the relationship between local folk tales/tunes and post-industrial landmarks have been reimagining source material (in the form of traditional music, folktales and 19th century technical drawings) unearthed via youth-led research through computer aided design and digital animation to create 30 minutes of interactive learning materials via youth-led research, focused instrumental tuition, digital learning/training that has also directly involved 126 participating children from three local communities in Motherwell, Wishaw, Shotts and Coatbridge.
3 local stories were combined with 6 local traditional tunes and STEAM (science-technology-engineering-arts-maths) to producing 3 hours of online content and heritage-based learning materials for two public performances on June 15th at Summerlee museum and Aug 3rd at Cumbernauld Theatre that will also benefit local schools in the longer term as an opensource online pennywhistle tuition resource via our partnership with The Clarke Tinwhistle Company.

The project encompassed a range of activities aimed at promoting traditional arts, music, and CAD among the participating children. The key components of the project included outreach sessions, youth-led research, sustained instrumental tuition, SQA levels 5-8 training, and the development of new online content. The culmination of these efforts would result in a final work for public exhibition and live performances scheduled for September 2023.

Report of the Trustees for the Year Ended 31st March 2024
OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES
Our work in developing the AR element for the Summerlee exhibition 'Back to the Drawing Board' involved working with Glasgow based tech development company Digitalnauts to apply materials and animate our cowper stove and hot blast furnace models which exactly replicate the original structure that were synonymous and iconic to Summerlee and Monklands Iron Works. PDS Vision create the AR versions from these matted models which was a challenge for our trainees also as around 3 million polys had to be reduced to 200,000 in order for the final AR experience to work. In hindsight creating models from the outset that were 'shelled' in accordance with the required AR specifications would have been a good lesson for the trainees to have had built into the work flow on this front.
To develop the required content, the project provided training opportunities for 16 young people in CAD, digital animation, and music, including collecting local aural history, online music production using Soundtrap, computer-aided design with Autodesk Inventor and 3ds Max, and digital animation. Additionally, eight second year HND CAD trainees from New College Lanarkshire received training in 3D sketching, dimensioning, parametric modelling, and the creation of intricate 3D working models based on original 19th-century technical plans stored at the Summerlee museum's special collection.
We decided to bring forward our launch event at Summerlee museum to June 20th involving all our trainees and to ensure all the young people could attend and held a follow up music concert at Cumbernauld Theatre on Aug 3rd as a means of showcasing more of the music that has been created jointly with the young people involved as music trainees.
Developing an AR platform for out 3d models was more expensive than we had expected so a decision was made to deliver the bare essential remit of our planned AR activities with a view towards further developing this element of the work via our partnership with the North Lanarkshire Council and Summerlee museum as part of their plans to create a museum wide AR platform.
Public benefit
In planning the activities for the year we kept in mind the Charity Commissions' guidance on public benefit.
FINANCIAL REVIEW
Financial position
During the year under review, the net surplus of the charity was £1,281
Reserves policy
In accordance with our 2022/23 business plan, Gael Music ensures long-term financial sustainability by maintaining a minimum reserve. Our current target range is £15,000 - equivalent to 6 months running costs. This policy relies on assessing medium-term financial risk and as such is kept under periodic review by our board of trustees when levels are adjusted as perceptions of risk and other factors change.
Going concern
In response to the difficulties facing the organisation in recent times and our long term sustainability we have implemented a number of plans. These plans include more regular evaluation sessions to monitor progress and best respond to participants needs. We have increased our reserves policy to a higher level in order to cover 6 months running costs Tight budgetary procedures will be enforced at every stage to ensure the activities are financially effective, compliant with all relevant legislation and manage any financial risks whilst we're building reserves. All new funding will be used effectively and deliver the greatest possible benefit to participants through effective project planning, professional marketing and a timetables which clearly set out the roles and responsibilities of our staff, trainees and volunteers.
