## **Good Vibrations Annual Report & Accounts 2023 - 2024** Registered charity in England and Wales (number 1126493) and in Scotland (number SC048860). Company registration: 06683343 ## **Welcome** When compiling this report, what struck me most was the determination of all involved in Good Vibrations – from trustees, to staff, facilitators, volunteers and participants. Determination to create change for themselves or for others. Every project delivered was born from hard work, by being agile and by trusting each other. 641 individuals took part in Good Vibrations projects this year – across secure and community settings – a huge achievement! I was excited to join Good Vibrations in March 2024. I would like to extend huge thanks and gratitude to Jane Gibb. Jane ran Good Vibrations for two years while it was without a permanent CEO. Without Jane stepping up to be interim CEO the charity would not be standing in such good stead. Jane worked enormously hard to bring in funding, build partnerships, and remained loyal to the values of Good Vibrations. I am thrilled that Jane is now Head of Delivery and will continue building and developing programmes and projects. Behind the scenes the team and Board of Trustees worked together to develop a strong and ambitious three-year strategy that focuses on strengthening partnerships, reaching more participants than ever and diversifying our income streams. One participant on a prison project in 2023 said “Music makes you feel free.” What a blessing it is to be able to help everyone on our projects feel free by bringing the joy of music to them.

Primarily using the Indonesian gamelan, a tuned percussion orchestra made up of gongs, metallophones and drums, it requires no previous experience to play and encourages collaboration and communication. ## **Gamelan courses in prisons and secure hospitals** Using one-to-one and group music making to support patients during their recovery through weekly sessions with inpatients and community patients. Participants are supported to play acoustic instruments, use music technology, write their own songs, and record music. ## **Keep in Touch** An individualised support programme for people who have been part of Good Vibrations projects. Support provided includes volunteering opportunities, referring participants to other organisations for specialised support, and creating opportunities for them to share experiences and opinions. These tend to be week-long, intensive courses with a group of about 15 people who learn to play the instruments, improvise, and make music together. On the final day, we host a playthrough for the group to perform what they have created in front of staff and guests. 4 ## **Resonate gamelan projects in the community** We have thriving community projects in Glasgow, Sheffield and Nottingham. Everyone is welcome, particularly people with disabilities and mental health needs and their carers. These include weekly gamelan sessions, where players can develop their musical skills and get to know people in their community. We also run week-long intensive gamelan courses in partnership with local support organisations, mixing different art forms and taking the project out to new places and people. ## **Our approach** We don’t teach, we facilitate. The Good Vibrations approach is about listening, exploring, taking creative risks, and working through difficulties to create something together. Much of our work uses gamelan because it’s communal and invites collaboration. As players fit their parts in, they develop listening and non-verbal communication skills. Gamelan is melodic, not just rhythmic, which provides rich opportunities for musical development. ## **Effective Facilitation Training** Sharing the Good Vibrations facilitation approach with music practitioners and students. In a group, most people will not have encountered gamelan before, meaning that they tend not to have prejudices about it. It is levelling, so everyone’s contributions are equally important. As a medium, it is accessible and adaptable. Everyone can succeed at it and be challenged by it. 5 ## **Our core values** ## Our approach to our work is based on 12 core values **----- Start of picture text -----**

If you want to find out about our research, please look at the Evidence Library. ## **Artist Care Research** We partnered with the University of Wolverhampton, Royal Northern College of Music, Irene Taylor Trust and Hear Me Out to create and fund an artist care action research programme. The project aims to better understand how to look after the wellbeing of musicians who work in community and secure settings, and to develop practical models that can support this in the sector. ## **Inspiring Futures Research** In March 2024, the National Criminal Justice Arts Alliance in collaboration with Cambridge University’s Institute of Criminology and eight arts partners, including Good Vibrations, published the findings of our research project Inspiring Futures. The research investigated the impact and meaning of arts projects in the criminal justice system. The research started in 2020 and included Cambridge University's team observing four intensive Good Vibrations prison projects before and after lockdown. 10 ## **The Gamelan Room** This year saw some amazing new developments in our Gamelan Room, the digital gamelan we launched in 2022. We oversaw a complete rebuild of the original design to facilitate new features and improve the existing design. The most significant development was the ability to download the Gamelan Room. Previously, only a ‘light’ version had been available. Other developments included: **----- Start of picture text -----**

- New instruments such as gender and gambang Coloured notes - MIDI compatibility for plug-in devices such as keyboards - Coloured notes and contrast settings for enhanced accessibility Floating note bar Playing along with a sequence. We created comprehensive guidance on our website; how to play gamelan and use the Gamelan Room with supporting clips, videos and audio recordings. Plus, some demo features for future development including: - Custom layouts Remote playing Composition tool Pitch adjusting The gender You can find further information and download links by scanning the QR code 11 ## **Our long-term impact** - We supported 146 past-participants through the Good Vibrations Keep in Touch Programme. - We supported a former participant through facilitator training, including shadowing sessions in a secure hospital. The experience was transformational, equipping him with skills he has since applied to other areas of his life. - We ran an Effective Facilitation day at the University of York designed for individuals interested in delivering arts and music sessions in challenging circumstances. Three former participants attended, gaining insight into course delivery and building the confidence to lead workshops themselves. - We connected a past participant to a community gamelan group. This post-covid success is particularly notable, given the severe reduction in gamelan opportunities since the pandemic. - I really hope we can keep in contact as I’m now learning the guitar and even ordered myself a ukulele to play as well. I want to thank you for letting me be part of this and for taking the time to work with me through music. I'm now - singing three times a week 12 ## **Thanks to our team** ## **Staff Team** ## **Board of Trustees** Ella Bleszynska (left January 2024) Jane Gibb Daniel Lewis Malcolm Milner Jamie Munn Jenni Parker ## **Facilitator Team** Jerome Bisgambiglia Alan Bryden Emily Crossland Ceylan Hay Jason Joomun Eb Jordan Nikki Kemp Kieran Plunkett Sam Weatherald Isis Wolf Light Kate Campbell Green Professor Laura Caulfield (retired January 2024) Rachel Driscoll Carolyn Hendry Jonathan Hollow (retired January 2024) Hannah Johns Nicholas Jolliffe Chloe Roberts (retired January 2024) Mark Tantum Catherine Turner (retired January 2024) ## **Patron** Bill Bailey ## **Volunteers** Mike K Steven Milligan Tony O’Hagan Tim Blades Find out more about them all here: - - www.good vibrations.org.uk/good - vibrations team ## **Pro bono advisers** Russel Haynes Errol MacGlashan Linda Yates 13 ## **Financial summary** With the generous help of funders and supporters we remained in a financially strong position.

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out in note 1 to the financial statements and comply with the charity's governing document, the Companies Act 2006, the Charities and Trustee Investment (Scotland) Act 2005, the Charities Accounts (Scotland) Regulations 2006 (as amended) and "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) (effective 1 January 2019)". ## **Objectives and activities** The charity's objects are: 1. The advancement of education and mental health, in particular but not limited to Indonesia performing arts as a tool to promote, improve, and develop communication skills, teamwork, and creative learning in prisons and other institutions; 2. The promotion of Indonesian classical music, dance, singing and shadow puppetry and related art forms. ## **Achievements and performance** This last year was one of further consolidation for Good Vibrations. The charity continued to consolidate its position and activities in prison, secure hospital and community settings, our operations delivered to 641 people, an increase from 581 in the previous year. We saw major growth in the area of secure hospitals, especially in supporting health and mental health of participants. This includes 52 Loophole sessions with 68 adults and young people at Bethlem Royal Hospital and 28 sessions with 79 adults at Lambeth Hospital in London, using music technology and acoustic instruments to support patients' recovery. Our facilitators ran weekly community Resonate gamelan sessions in Nottingham, Glasgow and Sheffield, which are now all well established. We supported 146 past participants through the Good Vibrations Keep in Touch Programme. One highlight of this was giving two past participants the opportunity to develop their workshop skills by attending the Effective Facilitation course, safeguarding training and completing documentation to work such as DBS clearance. To support these activities we were successful in maintaining income at around the £300,000 mark, with a small increase compared to the prior year. ## **Financial review** ## **Our reserves policy** Trustees' policy is to maintain the fund at a level sufficient to cover 3-6 months of expenditure to allow for time to reorganise in the event of a downturn in income; and to protect work programmes, thus supporting the Charity's objectives. March 2024 saw a decrease in reserves of just over 35% compared to the previous year. Reserves continue to be monitored carefully with an emphasis on building these up during the course of the year. 1 ## **GOOD VIBRATIONS (MUSIC) LIMITED** ## **TRUSTEES REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS' REPORT) (CONTINUED)** _**FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024**_ ## **Managing risk** Through the risk register, trustees quarterly review risks for the charity, assess their likelihood and potential impact, and then ensure mitigations are in place. The trustees continue to be committed to supporting the organisation, its people and its participants and are fastidious in reviewing and acting upon all organisational and statutory documentation on their roles and responsibilities. ## **Plans for future periods** The New Year will begin with a focus on reflecting, reviewing and planning for greater sustainability by creating a robust Business Plan which will incorporate the wisdom and experience of everyone within and invested in the success of the organisation. The greatest asset to Good Vibrations is its people, who consistently demonstrate both an unwavering commitment to and unrivalled expertise in creating life-changing opportunities. ## **Structure, governance and management** ## **Memorandum and Articles of Association** The Trustees are the board of the company and function according to the organisation's governing document, the Memorandum and Articles of Association. We are responsible for decisions relating to strategy and governance of the charity, rather than operational management, which is carried out by the staff team. Trustees have agreed to contribute a sum not exceeding £1 in the extent of the charity winding up. There must be at least three trustees. Trustees are appointed by resolution. At each annual retirement, one-third of the trustees, shall retire from office, but retiring trustees can be reappointed for a second consecutive term, so long as they take a break from office after three consecutive terms (nine years). Trustees' training needs are identified and relevant training provided, and they receive advice from professionals, e.g. on legal and financial matters. The trustees, who are also the directors for the purpose of company law, and who served during the year and up to the date of signature of the financial statements were: K Campbell-Green (Appointed 7[th] March 2024) Professor L Caulfield (Resigned 12[th] February 2024) J Hollow (Resigned 12[th] February 2024) H Johns N Jolliffe (Resigned 31[st] July 2024) S Dale (Appointed 7[th] September 2024) M A H Tantam C Turner (Resigned 12[th] February 2024) C Roberts (Resigned 12[th] February 2024) R E Driscoll (Resigned 7[th] August 2024) C Hendry ## **Recruitment and appointment of trustees** ## **Key management personnel** The CEO and Head of Delivery are the key management personnel responsible for financial management, with remuneration set by the Board and reviewed annually, in conjunction with the appraisal process and finance policy. In March 2024, we appointed a new CEO, Jenni Parker, who has brought significant, proven experience of working in the charity sector and with HMPS. We also appointed a new Project Officer, Daniel Lewis who has already made a notable positive impact on the organisation, especially in relation to wider engagement and marketing. I'm also pleased to confirm that staff received an inflation-linked pay rise during the year. 2 ## **GOOD VIBRATIONS (MUSIC) LIMITED** ## **TRUSTEES REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS' REPORT) (CONTINUED)** _**FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024**_ The trustees report was approved by the Board of Trustees. ..............................

You are satisfied that the financial statements of the charity are not required by charity or company law to be audited and have chosen instead to have an independent examination. Having satisfied myself that the financial statements of the charity 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 financial statements carried out under section 44 (1) ( c) of the 2005 Act and section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act). In carrying out my examination I have followed the requirements of Regulation 11 of the Charities Accounts (Scotland) Regulations 2006 (as amended) and all the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act. ## **Independent examiner's statement** Since the charity is required by company law to prepare its accounts on an accruals basis and is registered as a charity in Scotland your examiner must be a member of a body listed in Regulation 11(2) of the Charities Accounts (Scotland) Regulations 2006 (as amended). 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 that in any material respect: - 1 accounting records were not kept in respect of the charity as required by section 386 of the 2006 Act and Regulation 4 of the 2006 Accounts Regulations; or - 2 the financial statements do not accord with those records; or - 3 the financial statements do not comply with the accounting requirements of Regulation 8 of the Charities Accounts (Scotland) Regulations 2006 (as amended) and 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). 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 financial statements to be reached.

The registered office is The Circle 33 Rockingham Lane, Sheffield, S1 4FW. ## **1.1 Accounting convention** The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the charity's governing document, the Companies Act 2006, the Charities and Trustee Investment (Scotland) Act 2005, the Charities Accounts (Scotland) Regulations 2006 (as amended) and "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) (effective 1 January 2019)". The charity is a Public Benefit Entity as defined by FRS 102. The charity has taken advantage of the provisions in the SORP for charities applying FRS 102 Update Bulletin 1 not to prepare a Statement of Cash Flows. The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the charity. Monetary amounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest £. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, [modified to include the revaluation of freehold properties and to include investment properties and certain financial instruments at fair value]. The principal accounting policies adopted are set out below. ## **1.2 Going concern** At the time of approving the financial statements, the trustees have a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus the trustees continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements. ## **1.3 Charitable funds** Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the trustees in furtherance of their charitable objectives. Restricted funds are subject to specific conditions by donors or grantors as to how they may be used. The purposes and uses of the restricted funds are set out in the notes to the financial statements. Endowment funds are subject to specific conditions by donors that the capital must be maintained by the charity. ## **1.4 Income** Income is recognised when the charity is legally entitled to it after any performance conditions have been met, the amounts can be measured reliably, and it is probable that income will be received. Cash donations are recognised on receipt. Other donations are recognised once the charity has been notified of the donation, unless performance conditions require deferral of the amount. Income tax recoverable in relation to donations received under Gift Aid or deeds of covenant is recognised at the time of the donation. Legacies are recognised on receipt or otherwise if the charity has been notified of an impending distribution, the amount is known, and receipt is expected. If the amount is not known, the legacy is treated as a contingent asset. ## **1.5 Expenditure** Expenditure has been included where a legal or constructive obligation has been identified, this includes any irrecoverable VAT. - 8 - ## **GOOD VIBRATIONS (MUSIC) LIMITED** ## **NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)** _**FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024**_ ## **1 Accounting policies** **(Continued)** ## **1.6 Cash and cash equivalents** Cash and cash equivalents include cash in hand, deposits held at call with banks, other short-term liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less, and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings in current liabilities. ## **1.7 Financial instruments** 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. ## _**Basic financial assets**_ 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**_ 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 payments discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial liabilities classified as payable within one year are not amortised. Debt instruments are subsequently carried at amortised cost, using the effective interest rate method. 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. ## _**Derecognition of financial liabilities**_ Financial liabilities are derecognised when the charity’s contractual obligations expire or are discharged or cancelled. ## **1.8 Employee benefits** - The cost of any unused holiday entitlement is recognised in the period in which the employee’s services are received. Termination benefits are recognised immediately as an expense when the charity is demonstrably committed to terminate the employment of an employee or to provide termination benefits. ## **1.9 Retirement benefits** Payments to defined contribution retirement benefit schemes are charged as an expense as they fall due. - 9 - ## **GOOD VIBRATIONS (MUSIC) LIMITED** ## **NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)** _**FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024**_ ## **2 Critical accounting estimates and judgements** In the application of the charity’s accounting policies, the trustees are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amount of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates. The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised where the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods where the revision affects both current and future periods. ## **3 Income from donations and legacies** |Donations and gifts
