Music to unlock extraordinary potential: Case study of our impact UpBeat delivers free specialist early years’ music and movement activities to families who live on military barracks. The weekly sessions are designed to respond to the need offamilies with children under 5 who feel isolated due to deployment or personnel serving on tours. They help support ana develop the social, personal, and emotional outcomes for these military families.
Amy* attends our weekly sessions with her godfather, Alan*, who provides a lot of childcare for Amy as her mother is a member of the armed forces. Amy’s relationship with Alan is wonderful, she loves spending time with him and sharing the UpBeat sessions with him.
## Amazing results
“A couple of weeks ago Amy’s mum was able to attend one of the sessions herself. She spoke to us about how Amy loves to tell her about the group, and that it had been lovely to be at home and learn the songs and dances from Amy. It was really rewarding for us to hear Amy’s mum singing our songs and perform the movements, allowing her to quickly bond and feel part of the group, despite not usually attending it herself. Clearly our sessions are spreading into the home, helping parents to share the experiences, and spend quality time singing and dancing. together, building stronger attachments.
.
Amy had only just become mobile when she started the group. We have seen her become a strong walker, then start running, jumping, and recently we have been working on hopping and skipping, which she has now mastered. Amy has become very active in our group, wanting to dance around the space all the time. She’s getting really good at internalising the music and moving in different ways to represent the music. She will often watch the team and Alan, then copy the style of dancing.
As Amy’s attention has improved, she now listens to instructions and loves it when she knows the session and can join us in giving out instructions. These elements are a big part of school readiness and although Amy is only 3, she’s showing strong signs of being school ready.” Kristy, Music & Movement Leader.
.
“The group has developed Amy’s speech, movement, confidence and lots, lots more. Every aspect of her development has been helped by her attending Upbeat.” Alan, Godfather to Amy

## Report of the trustees (continued)
.
## COVID19 Pandemic:
At the point of finalising these Annual Accounts, Government is attempting to transition out of Covid restrictions, national vaccination roll-out and regaining some societal normality. However, the world is still in the middle of a pandemic and Make Some Noise still feels the effect of this crisis.
- From April 2020 Make Some Noise delivered social, personal, musical, and educational outcomes-focused community programmes with a mix of digital and face-to-face sessions. As a result of this pivotal development in our delivery, Make Some Noise was able to reach -over 45,000 disadvantaged and vulnerable children, young people, and families online and face to face. During the summer months of 2020, we were reaching figures of 42,000 viewers a week. The learning and best practice from our blended approach will
Due to the pandemic-related restrictions, our beneficiaries and our charity have been severely impacted, dealing with increasing levels of uncertainty both personally and professionally, unusually high levels of risks to mitigate, additional mental health and wellbeing issues.
The Make Some Noise team operated digitally from home until January 2021. The team cautiously re-introduced face to face delivery alongside digital delivery (as part of our new Business Plan 2020-2024). From January 2021 and by April 2021 almost all our flagship programmes were running. Make Some Noise quickly responded and followed the ongoing and fast changing official for returning to the workplace. Make Some Noise has planned and is prepared to minimise disruption to our programmes during winter 2021/spring 2022.
## Highlights from 2020-2021
## Music Making: We make it happen
## ‘Early Childhood Development
.
## UpBeat
Although impacted by the pandemic, the UpBeat programme continues to demonstrate how specialist music and movement practitioners can achieve social, personal and emotional , outcomes for families with children under 5. The development of our music and movement provision has gone from strength to strength, supported by The Armed Forces Covenant Fund Trust, Staffordshire County Council, ABF Soldiers Charity, and the Army Welfare Service — Area West. This year piloted digital delivery, which it-will strive to maintain and embed in future delivery plans.
## Soundpots
.
Although impacted by the pandemic, this joint venture with Stoke-on-Trent City Music Service, provides heavily subsidised projects for nursery settings who want to improve the . speech and language of children in their setting. This year saw new collaborative partners wishing to join the programme to expand delivery into Telford and Staffordshire.

Make Some Noise Financial Statements for the year ended 31 March 2021
## - Report of the trustees (continued)
The online mentoring pilot (developed to support nursery settings remotely) also proved to be a great success by offering highly convenient and comprehensive CPD despite government restrictions on external training providers entering premises.
## Complex Communities
## Positive Sounds
Although impacted by the pandemic, this project continues to provide free provision and support for Looked after Children in Staffordshire & Stoke on Trent. This year saw the trial of 1-2-1 sessions in foster homes turn into a true success story, with looked after children and _ Carers sharing that these sessions becomea vital part of their week, providing respite, focus and creative distraction. This year piloted digital delivery, providing 1-to-1 and small group workshops, temporarily replacing our face-to-face workshops as a stopgap between lockdowns. The beneficiaries on this programme achieve qualifications and accreditations from our Arts Award and AQA unit’s portfolio. :
## Stoke Young Parents
Although impacted by the pandemic, the provision develops and supports young parents’ independence across Stoke-on-Trent. Young parents (and their babies) are provided with an opportunity to attend free, weekly music groups and explore 'themes' such as Healthy Baby, ’ Healthy Me, Future You and Look Local. By using music as the 'hook' we engage those young people who are least likely. to access professional services. This project has successfully built life-changing relationships and addressed the needs of young people dealing with incredibly challenging lives. This year piloted digital delivery such as 1-to-1 mentoring, support groups and parent/toddler music sessions.

## Education and Learning
## Next Level
Although impacted by the pandemic, the programme is supported by a steering group of pupils from a secondary special school in Tamworth to develop a school-based project that enables young people with SEND to progress their music making ability in school and in the wider community. Pupils aged 11 — 18 receive group and 1-2-1 music tuition. This year piloted digital delivery e.g. Makaton signed music videos and online song writing collective of pupils. The beneficiaries on this programme achieve qualifications and accreditations from our Arts Award and AQA unit’s portfolio.
Level Up ; Although impacted by the pandemic, the programme was supported by teaching staff and pupils from secondary special school in Lichfield. To ensure the best outcomes and opportunities for pupils from the school a quick joint decision was made to pause this programme of work until the pandemic was deemed less severe. This programme will recommence in October 2021.

Music to unlock extraordinary potential.. Case study of our impact
One of the wonderful things about 'Rise' is thefocus on the copturing and
chonnelling of experiences of secondary pupils who've recently been through
that process of transition between primory to secondary school. These
experience5 con be used to help reduce possible misconceptions, worries or
concerns that existing primary school children moy have around moving onto
secondary school.
Each weekly session begins at the secondary school with a mix of Year 7's and
Years 8,5, From the outset the whole group dynamic was one of shyness and
withdrawal, with only one or two characters who would contribute.
Ben, was very quiet and unassumingfor quite a while, As the group became
morefamiliar with each other and the musical side of the project became more
and more prominent, he st(yrted to become more vocal. As Ben has musical
knowledge (he plays the guitar) he would quietly guide one or two of the less
experienced members of the group Lvho werefinding some of the chords or
notes difficult to pick up.
This became more prevalent as the weeks went by, to the point where he began
responding to questions and vocalising his answers out loud to the whole group,
particularly when there was a question around the direction of the music we
were all producing.
Amazing results
Ben is now one of the most vocal leaders of the group and has naturally
become a voice of reason when decisions are being made. As part of the youth
social action element, we collaborated with a local design company TR2 w/ho
worked with us to produce a resource kit, designed by the secondary pupilsfor
the primary pupils. They promoted their messages oround youth loneliness via
an anthology and activity booklet, CDS, wrist bands, draw string bags and T-
Shirts.
Ben was a key person in the initial design of the logo, but also had the
confidence to help guide TR2 towards what the pupils were looking to create.
There is a genuine sense of excitement and pride that Ben now exudes when he
comes to our sessions. We are pleosed that we have enabled his sense of self-
esteem to continue to confidently grow. Kurly, Lyrics & Music Leader

Funds relating to specific projects that are to be expended in 2020/21 have been set aside by the trustees as Designated Funds. —
,
The trustees consider that in order to safeguard the future of the charitable company it is important to ensure that there are some reserves available to the Charitable Company to _ cover committed expenditure in the case of a dip in funding: The target figure has been calculated at £55,000, however through active reserves management both trustees and Chief Executive Officer will ensure that the reserves levels required reflects the current risk profile at the time. ike
At the end of the financial year free reserves (General funds less fixed assets balance, Jess designated funds) amounted to £41,899 which is lower than the stated target level. Through the successful implementation of the new business plan for 2020-2024, a new organisational structure, regular review of operating costs and the successful transition to blended delivery programmes moving online, the trustees believe that Make Some will be recovering from 2021-22 and intends to meet its target by 2024-25.

## Principal accounting policies
## Status of the company
The charitable company is limited by guarantee and does not have share capital. The liability of members is limited to £1 per member.
## Basis of preparation
**----- Start of picture text -----**
a.
**----- End of picture text -----**
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 (FRS102) (updated 1 January 2019) — (Charities SORP (FRS102)), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS102) and the Companies Act 2006.
Make Some Noise Ltd meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS102.. Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value-unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy note(s). ,
:
## Judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty
The preparation of the financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported. These estimates and judgements are continually reviewed and are based on experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.
.
## Preparation of the accounts on a going concern basis
The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis which assumes that the Charitable Company will continue to operate. The validity of this assumption is dependent upon the continuance of support from the Charitable Company's key funders and in response to the progress made by the Charitable Company in pursuing a viable budget including the obtaining of further grants and other contracts. The Charitable Company's current business , plan shows that the Charitable Company will be able to operate in the foreseeable future. Based on this understanding, the trustees believe that it remains appropriate to prepare the financial statements on a going concern basis. The financial statements do not include any adjustments, which would result from the basis of preparation being inappropriate.

Restricted funds are funds subject to conditions imposed by the donor or by specific terms of the appeal under which the funds are raised. The restrictive conditions are binding upon the Charitable Company.

## Principal accounting policies (continued)
## Income
Items of income are recognised and included in the accounts when all of the following
- criteria. are met:
,
- The charity has entitlement to the funds;
- any performance conditions attached to the item(s) of income have been met or are
.
- ’ fully within the control of the charity or its subsidiary;
- - there is sufficient certainty that receipt of the income is considered probable; and 3 the amount can be measured reliably.
Income received in advance of provision of specified service is deferred until the criteria for income recognition are met and the relevant service has been provided.
## Donated services
Donated services (in kind) are recognised as income when the charity has control over the item, any conditions associated with the donated item have been met, the receipt of economic benefit from use by the charity of the items is probable and that economic benefit can be measured reliably. On receipt, donated services are recognised on the basis of the value of the gift to the charity, namely at the equivalent cost to the donating organisation. A corresponding amount is then recognised in expenditure for the period.
## Expenditure
.
Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to make a payment to a third party, it is probable that settlement will be required, and the amount ofthe - obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is classified under the following activity headings:
- Costs of raising funds comprise the costs involved in fundraising including fees paid to professional fundraisers, publicity, marketing costs and.an allocation of staff costs in relation to fundraising activity.
- Expenditure on charitable activities includes the costs of running projects and other activities undertakento further the purposes.of the charity and their associated
- * support costs. . ,
- - Governance costs are those costs incurred in connection with governance and professional support to trustees.
Irrecoverable VAT is charged as a cost against the activity for which the expenditure was incurred. i
.
Support and governance costs are allocated in accordance with the amount of staff time spent on each area of activity.
## Interest receivable
Bank interest is shown on the basis of amounts received in the year.

## Principal accounting policies (continued)
.
## Pension costs
Make Some Noise participates in the Local Government Pension. Scheme (‘LGPS’) administered: by Staffordshire County Council. The scheme is a multi-employer defined benefit scheme, is funded and is contracted out of the state scheme. The assets of the scheme are held separately from those of the Charitable Company and in an independently administered fund. It is not possible to identify the share of underlying assets and liabilities belonging to individual participating employers, and therefore, as required by FRS 17 ‘Retirement benefits’, Make Some Noise accounts for the scheme as if it were a defined contribution scheme. As a result the charge to the SOFA for the year represents the charity’s employer contributions in respect of the accounting period.
.
## Tangible fixed assets
Depreciation is provided at a rate calculated to write off the cost ona straight line basis over a period of less than the estimated useful life of the assets as follows:
Musical equipment Computer equipment
- 3 years = 3 years
Fixed assets are capitalised when the purchase cost is in excess of £500.
## Debtors
Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount due after any trade discount offered. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid after taking account of any trade discounts due.

## Creditors and provisions
mo
Creditors and provisions are recognised where the charity has a present obligation resulting from a past event that will probably result in the transfer of funds to a third party and the amount due to settle the obligation can be measured or estimated reliably. Creditors and - provisions are normally recognised at their settlement amount after allowing for any trade discounts due.
