The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Charity’s accounting policies set out in Note 1 and comply with the Charity’s Memorandum & Articles of Association, the Companies Act 2006 and the provisions of “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 the Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective for accounting periods commencing from 1 January 2019).”
STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT
Governing Document
The Charity is a charitable Company limited by guarantee incorporated on 4 August 2008. The Charity was established under a Memorandum of Association that established the objects and powers of the charitable company and is governed under its Articles of Association as amended by special resolutions dated 13 May 2019, 15 June 2020, and 10 July 2023. The Charity registered with the Charity Commission for England and Wales on 6 November 2008.
The directors, who are also trustees, until the signing of the financial statements, were:
| Sandra Bristoll | (Appointed Chair 11 December 2023) |
|---|---|
| Sue Ayres | |
| Carrie Churnside | |
| Karmah Boothe | |
| Matthew Stafford | (Appointed 2 December 2024) |
| Joanne Sweet | (Appointed 2 December 2024) |
| Prof John Whenham | (Resigned 2 December 2024) |

| John Clemson MBE | (Chair - resigned 11 December 2023) |

| Dee Manning | (Resigned 3 November 2023) |
The company is limited by guarantee and therefore no director has any interest in the share capital of the company. The directors are usually appointed at the Annual General Meeting to ensure that the Board represents a cross section of the community.
The directors are responsible for financial controls and accounts; for developing and overseeing a reserves policy; for ensuring that all procedures and policies adhere to their legal requirements as employers; for reviewing risk management of the organisation; to ensure all aspects of charity and company law are fully and properly adhered to and generally protect the charity’s property.
STATEMENT OF TRUSTEES’ RESPONSIBILITIES
Company law requires the Trustees to prepare accounts that give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charitable company at the end of the financial year and of the charitable company’s surplus or deficit for the year. In doing so, the Trustees are required to:
-
select suitable accounting policies and apply them consistently;
-
make judgments and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
-
state whether applicable accounting standards and statements of recommended practice have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the accounts; and
-
prepare the accounts on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in business.
The Trustees are responsible for maintaining proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charitable company and which enable them to ensure that the accounts 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.

Music Therapy Works Annual Report and Financial Statements for the year ended 31[st] August 2024
MISSION STATEMENT
The overall mission of Music Therapy Works is:
-
To deliver an excellent and comprehensive Music Therapy service in a cohesive and locally appropriate manner, accessible to all who need it.
-
To develop and support the widest possible application of Music Therapy.
-
To maintain the high quality of the therapy provided through regular monitoring and review.
-
To be recognised as a leading provider of Music Therapy.
-
To contribute to Music Therapy provision, training, and research.
OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES
The principal objective of Music Therapy Works is to provide Music Therapy for children and adults of all ages within local communities in the Heart of England area. The charity achieves its objective through the provision of a community-based Music Therapy service for both children and adults.
The main objects, as shown in the Memorandum and Articles of Association, are:
-
The therapeutic use of music for the relief of physical and mental illness and disability, the alleviation of developmental, emotional, social, and behavioural difficulties and the protection and promotion of good health.
-
The promotion of the use of Music Therapy by other organisations including but not limited to hospitals, prisons, hospices, and schools.
-
The promotion and publication of research into the therapeutic use of music.
-
The education of members of the public concerning music as a means of therapy.
-
The establishment, development, and use of health professions council approved training courses to train individuals as music therapists.
For the future, the directors will continue to seek to expand the provision of Music Therapy and associated activities throughout the Heart of England region.
PUBLIC BENEFIT
The trustees confirm that they have complied with their duty in section 17 of the Charities Act 2011 to have due regard to public benefit guidance published by the Charity Commission. Music Therapy Works promotes the advancement of Music Therapy and is open to the majority of the public in need of Music Therapy.
FINANCIAL REVIEW
The results of the Charity for the year are shown in detail in the Statement of Financial Activities on page 10. In summary, the Charity had a surplus of income above expenditure on the unrestricted funds of £58,691 during the year. The balance on the unrestricted funds at 31[st] August 2024 was £230,951 (2023: £172,260). The balance on the restricted funds was £11,835 (2023: £23,704).
RESTRICTED FUNDS
The restricted funds have been donated to the Charity for specific purposes and are listed in note 10 to the accounts.
RESERVES POLICY
The Board has agreed as policy that the free reserves of the organisation, defined as net current assets that are neither restricted nor designated for specific purposes, should be sufficient to provide a reasonable working balance to meet commitments when they become due whilst recognising the possible delays in receipt of fee income due. It is considered that, given that 83% of annual turnover is used to fund staff costs, the reserves target is best expressed in
5
Music Therapy Works Annual Report and Financial Statements for the year ended 31[st] August 2024
terms of payroll months. The Board has assessed that, under current circumstances, the free reserves should be the equivalent of 6 months’ payroll costs.
Using the average payroll costs from the 2024/2025 budget, free reserves should be in the region of £165,319. As at 31 August 2024, non-designated free reserves (excluding functional tangible fixed assets) stood at £230,951. The stated strategy has therefore been achieved this year.
The Board’s reserves policy also requires the Trustees to reassess any designated funds annually when reviewing its reserves, so that no funds are needlessly designated and excluded from the calculation of free reserves.
FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT
The Charity finances its operations through the generation of cash from operating activities and has no interest rate exposure on financial liabilities. Liquidity risk is managed through forecasting the future cash flow requirements of the Charity and maintaining sufficient cash at bank.

REPORT FROM THE CHAIR
On behalf of the Trustees of Music Therapy Works, it gives me great pleasure to provide you with an update on the activities of MTW during 2023/24. I am happy to report that MTW had a successful year delivering Music Therapy for people whose lives are affected by disability, injury or illness, supporting their psychological, emotional, cognitive, physical, communication and social needs.
In line with our strategic objectives, our dedicated team of therapists delivered even more of the work that we are so passionate about in 2023/24. It was a record year, with the highest number of therapy hours ever delivered by MTW.
| Clients | Hours delivered |
|---|---|
| Schools & Colleges | 5,180.5 |
| Hospitals | 253.5 |
| Assisted Living | 427.5 |
| Individuals | 617 |
| Total | 6,523.5 |
This strong performance is up 2% from our second highest year (2018/19), demonstrating a full recovery to prepandemic activity levels. Although most of our delivery continued across the West Midlands, we further developed our presence in the East Midlands, supporting clients in areas such as Nottingham, Mansfield and Loughborough.
Despite challenging circumstances due to the cost-of-living crisis, our delivery of Music Therapy in schools and colleges has remained consistently in demand. We are grateful to the many school and college leaders who so clearly value the Music Therapy we provide for their children and young people:
“I would just like to say a huge thank you for the service N has delivered… this academic year, it has been outstanding.”
“MTW is so valuable to the learners.”
We have also continued to deliver hundreds of hours of Music Therapy for individual clients, funded via a range of sources including Adoption Services, Case Managers, EHCPs (Education Health and Care plans) and privately:
“It’s an amazing service that you provide…”
"It's clearly helping, she has a good relationship with you.”
“Music Therapy has been life changing for X in so many ways and we are thankful for you being an important person in his life.”
As well as recruiting several music therapists this year, MTW also recruited a new CEO, Doug Bott, in April 2024. Doug has been able to offer valuable leadership to MTW and support to the team. He has worked tirelessly to consolidate our position and develop the underlying organisational structure to maximise what we can offer. Looking to the future, Doug has also been leading the development of a new strategic plan, which we aim to deliver from September 2025.
Following the retirement of Sophia Parker as Finance Officer in July 2024, we recruited Alison Bevins to the role. Alison has maintained responsible and stable stewardship of our finances, while delivering a number of improvements.
Our Clinical Lead, Kate Fawcett, has remained instrumental in overseeing our team of Music Therapists. Staff training targets were met during the year, ensuring that our clients are served by highly qualified and skilled therapists. The Board has extended the hours of the Clinical Lead since November 2024 to ensure that the team is even better supported, and to enable greater collaboration between the Clinical Lead and the CEO on both operations and future planning.
Notwithstanding the positive reports above, it remains extremely challenging to run a successful charity in the current climate, balancing the need to keep fees and overheads as low as possible, with our responsibility to strive for excellence in delivery. In this endeavour we are particularly grateful to the funders and donors whose generosity continues to provide essential financial support for our work.

Thanks to…
The Irving Memorial Trust Dumbreck Charity The Patrick Trust
The Edward Gostling Foundation
… for helping to fund our operational running costs.
Thanks to…
Baron Davenport’s Charity
The Edward and Dorothy Cadbury Trust
… for helping to fund Music Therapy for people living with dementia
MTW was fortunate again to be the chosen charity for collections at concerts given by The Midlands Hospitals’ Choir and by the B Natural Choir. We would like to record our special thanks to both choirs and to all our donors for their generosity despite challenging economic times. We remain fully committed to ensuring that our donated income is used responsibly, efficiently, and effectively.
As well as recruiting a new CEO this year, Trustees have focussed on succession planning for the Board and have recruited 5 new trustees, who will all be in post by spring 2025. We are enthused by the potential that lies ahead for MTW and recognise the need to ensure that the Board remains primed and energised to deliver its role alongside the staff team.
The Trustees and CEO met for an Away Day in August 2024, which provided a valuable opportunity to discuss MTW’s priorities for the future and undertake EDI training provided by one of our trustees, Karmah Boothe.
Significant work has been done to develop a robust and supportive induction process for new trustees, together with a code of conduct, role descriptions and a trustee buddying scheme. We are working to be a Board that is diverse and inclusive, including diversity of opinions. We want the Board of MTW to be both supportive and constructively challenging of MTW, mixing realism and pragmatism with innovation and creativity.
On behalf of the Trustees, I would like to thank our music therapists and staff for their hard work and enthusiasm which helped make 2023/24 another successful and special year for our clients. I thank our former Finance Officer, Sophia Parker for her years of loyal service and the Board wishes her a happy retirement.
I would also like to pay tribute to MTW’s former Chair, John Clemson, who retired as a trustee and Chair in December 2023 and to Andrea Howl and John Whenham who retired as trustees in December 2024, all of whom gave many years of dedicated service to MTW and helped to guide it forward. The Board wish to explore an alumni scheme for retired trustees to preserve the valuable knowledge, experience and networks of retiring trustees.
The Board of Trustees is immensely grateful to Doug Bott for all the hard work which he has put in to stabilising MTW since taking over as Chief Executive in April 2024 and the Board is delighted that, as of January 2025, he is working fulltime for MTW. The decision to invest in his role and that of the Clinical Lead reflects the Board’s desire to ensure that MTW has the resources required to develop its new strategy and to build a legacy for the future. We look forward to working with them to define and deliver a fresh vision and focus for MTW.
This report has been prepared in accordance with the special provisions for small companies under part 15 of the Companies Act 2006.
Signed on behalf of the Board

-
designated funds – these are unrestricted funds designated by the trustees for a particular purpose;

Derecognition of financial liabilities
Financial liabilities are derecognised when the charity’s contractual obligations expire of are discharged or cancelled.
