Foreword

It is my pleasure to introduce this year’s annual report after a year of increasing stability in our charity. It is with pride that as Chair, alongside the other Trustees and staff at Make Some Noise, that we are able to report a truly positive progression for the charity after post-pandemic regeneration plans have been firmly established.

The last 3 years have been some of the most challenging times for the charity, as the team grappled with the increasing needs of beneficiaries and a constantly changing fundraising landscape giving uncertainty. The resilient and talented staff and trustees have worked incredibly hard to ensure the most vulnerable communities continued to receive essential support they needed.

“I’m going to write a song for mental health awareness week” Young person planning next session

Isolated children and young people, often suffering from poor mental health, at times due to the pandemic effect, are experiencing poverty – both at a ‘socio-economic level’ and of ‘opportunity to access services’. All of which severely impact upon their ability to thrive and look forward to a brighter future. It has continued to be Make Some Noise’s mission to support and encourage these children and young people to feel engaged, included and empowered . We provide them with respite and fun during some of the most challenging times of their lives.

As the impact of political, social and economic uncertainty still affects many charities, Make Some Noise has continued to endure this effectively with rigorous planning and action.I am pleased to report that we are out of survival mode and in to a time of hope and growth. Demand for our services is growing, and it has been hard to meet demand this year due to a decrease in funding in 2022 that impacted delivery capacity this year.

“You should let us take over your social media, everyone should know about you guys” Young person from consultation group

Make Some Noise remains committed to exploring pioneering and inclusive approaches that will further enhance its impact and positive outcomes for children and families. We strive to respond to the increasing demand for Make Some Noise, remaining hopeful, that by connecting communities through creativity we will continue to amplify voices that are often silenced.

In my role as Chair, I have had the opportunity to talk to those we support and the delivery team and have been enheartened by the positive feedback. I am pleased to have witnessed children’s and young people’s enjoyment in learning new skills, being completely engaged in activities, making new friends and feeling part of a group, all of which is making a positive impact on their wellbeing.

Regardless of the challenges the beneficiaries may be facing in their childhood, or the traumatic experiences they’re overcoming, our doors will always be open so they can have fun in a safe, creative space, free from judgment, where everyone is encouraged to flourish.

Case study of our impact

Unlocking extraordinary potential

Mally is now 18 months old and is one of our regular attenders, coming every week with Mum, Chloe. When Mally first started coming as a baby, she was accompanied by her older siblings. They were babies when they first joined Upbeat and are now both at school, leaving Mally to enjoy Upbeat by herself with mum.

Our Upbeat programme is there to support the development of children who may be coping with challenging circumstances, but the team are also trained to support the parents too. Over time, a positive relationship has formed between the Make Some Noise’s creative practitioners, the children and Chloe.

Chloe eventually confided in the team that she has mental health issues and part of that means she struggles a lot socially.

The team worked more closely with Chloe. She would always sit beside to the team during the music and movement sessions, interacting with the creative practitioners throughout the session, seeking reassurance and guidance.

Amazing results

We have really noticed a big change in Chloe in the last couple of years. During the weeks that she’s participating with just Mally. Chloe’s confidence, self-esteem, and levels of engagement with other parents has gradually been increasing once the creative practitioners identified the most appropriate support with Chloe.

Whilst mum still likes to sit close to our team during the music, singing and dancing sessions, Chloe no longer feels the need to sit right next to a creative practitioner and is no longer seeking constant reassurance.

It has been wonderful to witness. Especially as this confidence is rubbing off positively on Mally. Mally now explores the space, with independence, seeking out new friends to sing and dance with.

During a feedback session over tea and biscuits, Mum said “this is the only group she goes to where she does not feel judged, feels relaxed and can be herself.

Both mum and Mally continue to flourish as a result of participating in these sessions.

Highlights from 2023-2024

Music Making and Creativity: We make it happen

UpBeat (Flagship Programme)

The UpBeat programme continues to demonstrate how specialist music and movement Creative Practitioners can achieve social, personal, and emotional outcomes for families with children under 5.

UpBeat delivers fully funded specialist early years music and movement activities to military and civilian families every week. Thus, supporting the integration of military families into the local area enabling a reduction in isolation and loneliness within this cohort.

UpBeat helps support and develop the social, personal, and emotional outcomes for these military families with children under 5; this has been particularly important post Covid due to the reported impact of the pandemic on children’s development and mental health.

Expansion of our music and movement provision has gone from strength to strength thanks to the support from The Armed Forces Covenant Fund Trust, the ABF Soldiers Charity, Staffordshire County Council, and the Army Welfare Service team - Area West.

Stoke Young Parents (Flagship Programme)

This programme continued to support the development of 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 engaged those young people who are least likely to access professional services. The impact of the pandemic on this cohort has been considerable and a greater need was identified within young parents currently serving time in a local open prison.

Practitioners have been delivering monthly family creative sessions to support family attachment and rehabilitation whilst Dad is prison, this has been a whole family approach. We have also supported this by delivering monthly Kids Clubs specifically for children of younger parents within the prison, focusing on creative activities for wellbeing and mental health.

This project has successfully built life-changing relationships and addressed the needs of young people dealing with incredibly challenging lives. The legacy of this work will now support our partnership working with Stoke-on-Trent’s Family Support “Family Matters” Strategy.

Report of the trustees (continued)

#iWill Rise – Peer Mentoring and School transitions (Flagship Programme)

This programme developed from our previous 2 year, nationally recognised programme #iwill Rise and continued the support of children transitioning from year 6 (primary school) to year 7 (secondary school) and the impact this can have upon their mental health and wellbeing, friendships, and sense of self.

A 2-year long project focusing on developing Student Peer Mentors within 3 secondary schools saw two Creative Practitioners delivering sessions weekly; working with pupils to train them as peer mentors to support incoming children to the school.

This incredibly successful programme saw many pupils attaining multiple AQAs, experience and life skills and cumulated in one school embedding the programme into their yearly transition activities and setting up a transition peer mentor hub within the school. Make Some Noise continues to support this school and have agreed charitable activities and sessions with sixth form pupils to continue social action and beneficial outcomes for the pupils, school and for our charity.

The beneficiaries on this programme achieve qualifications and accreditations from our Arts Award and AQA unit’s portfolio. The new 2year programme was impacted by the pandemic so the team had to work in innovative and flexible ways to ensure the impact and the quality could still be maintained.

Level Up (Partnership Project)

Level Up project is a partnership with Staffordshire Special Schools. Steering groups of pupils from the secondary special schools co-develop the project to aims to support young people with SEND to progress with their music making ability in school. Pupils aged 11 – 18 received group and 1 to 1 music tuition, workshops in songwriting and performance. The project culminates with live music performances out in the wider community. The beneficiaries on this programme achieve qualifications and accreditations from our Arts Award and AQA unit’s portfolio.

Beatbox and iPad Orchestra (Partnership Project)

The Music Partnership continues to commission our inclusive, accessible singing, vocalisation, and technology provision for pupils, primarily schools disengaged from music, pupil referral units and/or special schools.

The beneficiaries on this programme achieve qualifications and accreditations from our Arts Award. As of September 2023, these 2 projects ceased to run.

SENsationals (Partnership Project)

This new partnership project with Army Welfare Service Team (Area West) was born out of an identified need for additional Special Educational Needs provision for children aged between 0 and 12 years from military families within the area.

This expansion of the Upbeat model has allowed us to support families monthly in Stafford and Whittington providing creative activities including art, sculpture, and music.

Funded from various sources this valuable project and the unaddressed needs of this cohort have been recognised nationally for military families. Working with local partners it has been a highly successful programme that continues to grow.

The demand to develop this activity in other sites across the Area West patch is currently in discussion with Army Welfare teams.

Music Makers (Partnership Project)

The Midlands Partnership University NHS Foundation Trust funded project supports children and young people aged 6 – 18 years old currently living within Staffordshire, currently accessing support from the Children and Adolescent Mental Health services (CAMHS).

Weekly group sessions of up to 6 young people have met in two areas – Tamworth and Lichfield for over a year, with Stafford and Cannock sites developing soon.

This small group activity is supported by a CAMHS worker and delivers creative activities to provide respite, learning and fun for young people struggling with their mental health and wellbeing.

2. Training and Development: We develop the capacity in others to provide inclusive opportunities.

Training on Inclusive Creative Practice

Make Some Noise provides free and/or heavily subsidised training to support organisations, creative practitioners, volunteers and beneficiaries, encouraging quality inclusive provision across the sector.

Throughout the year, we have focussed on improving our workforce’s trauma-informed practice and the team have attended training on Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs), Understanding Executive Functioning, Positive Psychology, Building Resilience, Understanding Trauma and Resilience, Chimp Paradox, Secure base Model and Youth Mental Health First Aid.

3. Information and Advocacy: Sharing best practice and working with others to champion the positive impact of inclusive music making and creativity

Championing

We have been championing inclusive approaches and promoting best practice across the sector and advocating to decision-makers involved in Local Authority Departments (such as Looked After Children, Social Care and Health, Education), supporting the Youth Social Prescribing Agenda through our memberships with the Culture Health and Wellbeing Alliance, the National Academy for Social Prescribing, the Staffordshire & Stoke on Trent VCSE Healthy Communities Alliance, the Midlands Partnership University NHS Foundation Trust and Stokeon-Trent’s City Council Family Support “Family Matters” Strategy.

Social Action and Youth Voice

Social Action plays a crucial role in enabling children and young people to flourish and give back to their community. Make Some Noise incorporates creative and inclusive ways to ensure our delivery is youth-led and that everyone has a voice, regardless of their ability and confidence.

In 2023-2024 Make Some Noise had 2 established youth steering groups, some have their own budgets, some help with marketing and social media and some help with developing delivery and funding applications. This year, these 2 groups collectively consulted with 30 children on personal and social issues and challenges.

We would like to thank everyone on the steering group and Task & Finish Group for their contribution. Below are some examples of the advice and feedback received from participants that we have put in to action.

Cannock Young Ambassadors Group

“We should make a video to help other parents know what it’s like. I don’t mind helping out. Maybe get it on TikTok.” M (22yrs), Peer Mentor & Steering Group Member

“I’m pretty good at social media and I like making videos. Is there any way I could get involved?”

A (20yrs), Steering Group Member

Make Some Noise Marketing Youth Task and Finish Group

“You should let us take over your “I think the logo is good, it doesn’t social media, everyone should know need changing and the name is fine about you guys.” too. It’s about giving young people a D (16yrs), Young person from voice. Connecting with communities.” consultation group K (13yrs), Young person from consultation group

FINANCIAL REVIEW

The financial statements show total income of £281,946 (2023: £181,912) and expenditure of £187,311 (2023: £238,335) generating a surplus of £94,635 (2023: deficit £56,423) for the year. This comprises of a surplus of £37,496 (2023: deficit £58,330) relating to restricted funds and a surplus of £57,139 (2023: surplus £1,907) relating to designated and general funds for projects ongoing into the next financial year. Funds at 31 March 2024 comprise restricted funds of £57,070 relating to on-going projects, leaving unrestricted general funds of £90,031.

Make Some Noise has benefited from major funding from the Lloyds Bank Foundation, Big Lottery Community Fund, the National Foundation for Youth Music, the Victor Ford Foundation, the Ironmongers Company and the Armed Forces Covenant Community Fund Trust.

Reserves policy and risks

The trustees review the level of reserves at each of its quarterly management meetings and review policy and action required regarding reserve levels at year end, to build into the budget and project planning for the coming financial year.

The trustees consider that to safeguard the future of Make Some Noise it is important to ensure that there are some reserves available to the organisation to cover committed expenditure in the case of a dip in funding.

The target figure is calculated at £55,000 for 2024-25. Through active reserves management the trustees and Chief Executive Officer will ensure that the reserves levels required reflects the current risk profile at the time.

At the end of the financial year free reserves (General funds less fixed assets balance, less designated funds) amounted to £90,031 which is above the stated target level.

The remaining balance is earmarked for the anticipated increases to running and staffing cost from April 2024, as the Board fully supports plans to grow the team with the development of a fundraising and marketing team.

The address of its registered office is: c/o 2 Staffordshire Place Tipping Street Stafford ST16 2LP

2 Accounting policies

Summary of significant accounting policies and key accounting estimates

The principal accounting policies applied in the preparation of these financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all the years presented, unless otherwise stated.

Statement of compliance

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 (FRS 102)) (issued in October 2019) - (Charities SORP (FRS 102)), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Companies Act 2006.

Basis of preparation

Make Some Noise Ltd meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102. Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy notes.

Going concern

The trustee consider that there are no material uncertainties about the charity's ability to continue as a going concern nor any significant areas of uncertainty that affect the carrying value of assets held by the charity.

Income and endowments

All income is recognised once the charity has entitlement to the income, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount of the income receivable can be measured reliably.

Donations and legacies

Donations are recognised when the charity has been notified in writing of both the amount and settlement date. In the event that a donation is subject to conditions that require a level of performance by the charity before the charity is entitled to the funds, the income is deferred and not recognised until either those conditions are fully met, or the fulfilment of those conditions is wholly within the control of the charity and it is probable that these conditions will be fulfilled in the reporting period.

Page 26

Make Some Noise Ltd

Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 March 2024

Grants receivable

Grants are recognised when the charity has an entitlement to the funds and any conditions linked to the grants have been met. Where performance conditions are attached to the grant and are yet to be met, the income is recognised as a liability and included on the balance sheet as deferred income to be released.

Deferred income

Deferred income represents amounts received for future periods and is released to incoming resources in the period for which, it has been received. Such income is only deferred when:

Gifts in kind

Gifts in kind are recognised in different ways dependent on how they are used by the charity:

(i) Those donated for resale produce income when they are sold. They are valued at the amount actually realised.

(ii) Those donated for onward transmission to beneficiaries are included in the Statement of Financial Activities as incoming resources and resources expended when they are distributed. They are valued at the amount the charity would have had to pay to acquire them.

(iii) Those donated for use by the charity itself are included when receivable. They are valued at the amount the charity would have had to pay to acquire them.

Investment income

Dividends are recognised once the dividend has been declared and notification has been received of the dividend due.

Expenditure

All expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to that expenditure, it is probable settlement is required and the amount can be measured reliably. All costs are allocated to the applicable expenditure heading that aggregate similar costs to that category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated on a basis consistent with the use of resources, with central staff costs allocated on the basis of time spent, and depreciation charges allocated on the portion of the asset’s use. Other support costs are allocated based on the spread of staff costs.

Raising funds

These are costs incurred in attracting voluntary income, the management of investments and those incurred in trading activities that raise funds.

Charitable activities

Charitable expenditure comprises those costs incurred by the charity in the delivery of its activities and services for its beneficiaries. It includes both costs that can be allocated directly to such activities and those costs of an indirect nature necessary to support them.

Page 27

Make Some Noise Ltd

Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 March 2024

Governance costs

These include the costs attributable to the charity’s compliance with constitutional and statutory requirements, including audit, strategic management and trustee’s meetings and reimbursed expenses.

Taxation

The charity is considered to pass the tests set out in Paragraph 1 Schedule 6 of the Finance Act 2010 and therefore it meets the definition of a charitable company for UK corporation tax purposes. Accordingly, the charity is potentially exempt from taxation in respect of income or capital gains received within categories covered by Chapter 3 Part 11 of the Corporation Tax Act 2010 or Section 256 of the Taxation of Chargeable Gains Act 1992, to the extent that such income or gains are applied exclusively to charitable purposes.

Tangible fixed assets

Individual fixed assets costing £500.00 or more are initially recorded at cost, less any subsequent accumulated depreciation and subsequent accumulated impairment losses.

Depreciation and amortisation

Depreciation is provided on tangible fixed assets so as to write off the cost or valuation, less any estimated residual value, over their expected useful economic life as follows:

Asset class Depreciation method and rate
Musical Equipment Straight line over 3 years
Computer Equipment Straight line over 3 years

Trade debtors

Trade debtors are amounts due from customers for merchandise sold or services performed in the ordinary course of business.

Trade debtors are recognised initially at the transaction price. They are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less provision for impairment. A provision for the impairment of trade debtors is established when there is objective evidence that the charity will not be able to collect all amounts due according to the original terms of the receivables.

Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand and call deposits, and other short-term highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to a known amount of cash and are subject to an insignificant risk of change in value.

Page 28

Make Some Noise Ltd

Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 March 2024

Trade creditors

Trade creditors are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of business from suppliers. Accounts payable are classified as current liabilities if the charity does not have an unconditional right, at the end of the reporting period, to defer settlement of the creditor for at least twelve months after the reporting date. If there is an unconditional right to defer settlement for at least twelve months after the reporting date, they are presented as non-current liabilities.

Trade creditors are recognised initially at the transaction price and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

Fund structure

Unrestricted income funds are general funds that are available for use at the trustee's discretion in furtherance of the objectives of the charity.

Designated funds are unrestricted funds set aside for specific purposes at the discretion of the trustees.

Restricted income funds are those donated for use in a particular area or for specific purposes, the use of which is restricted to that area or purpose.

Pensions and other post retirement obligations

The charity operates a defined contribution pension scheme which is a pension plan under which fixed contributions are paid into a pension fund and the charity has no legal or constructive obligation to pay further contributions even if the fund does not hold sufficient assets to pay all employees the benefits relating to employee service in the current and prior periods.

Contributions to defined contribution plans are recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities when they are due. If contribution payments exceed the contribution due for service, the excess is recognised as a prepayment.
