Manchester Jazz Festival 

Report of the Trustees for the Year Ended 30 June 2023 

The trustees (who are also the directors of Manchester Jazz Festival for the purposes of company law) present their report and the unaudited financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2023. The organisation is a charitable company limited by guarantee. The financial statements comply with current statutory requirements, the Memorandum and Articles of Association and the Charities Statement of Recommended Practice (FRS102). 

## **Background** 

Manchester Jazz Festival (MJF) was founded in 1996 to promote and advance the appreciation of and participation in jazz, contemporary and globally diverse music. Committed to dissolving genre stereotypes, the presentation of new work, and the development of home-grown talent, MJF is Manchester's longest running music festival. MJF looks within and beyond the city limits in its search for distinctive, original and exceptional music to provide outstanding cultural experiences that enrich the lives of the people and communities across Greater Manchester and the North of England. 

## **OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES Objectives and aims** 

The Articles of Association of Manchester Jazz Festival state that the charity will: 

(a) present, promote, produce and participate in concerts, performances, and festivals either alone or with others; 

(b) collaborate with and commission work from individuals and organisations who work in music and other art forms such as drama and dance in furtherance of the objects of the company; 

(c)  organise, promote and deliver jazz classes and workshops either alone or with others; 

(d) purchase, acquire and obtain interests in the copyright of or right to perform any musical composition which can be used to further the objects of the company; 

(e) enter into agreements with teachers, performers, musicians, producers and other professionals in associated fields; 

(f) publish, sell or disseminate any work produced as a result of the company's activities including programmes, recordings and merchandise designed to promote the work of the company. 

The trustees review the aims, objectives and activities of the charity each year. This report looks at what the charity has achieved and the outcomes of its work in the reporting period. The trustees report the success of each key activity and the benefits the charity has brought to those groups of people that it is set up to help. 

The review also helps the trustees ensure the charity's aims, objectives and activities remained focused on its stated purposes. 

## **Public benefit** 

The Trustees, having had regard to guidance on public benefit issued by the Charity Commission, confirm that the charitable purposes fall within the definitions set out in the Charities Act and, therefore are for the public benefit.

## **ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE** 

In the period covered by this report, 1 July 2022 to 30 June 2023, MJF used its continued funding to invest in performance, creative and personal development opportunities for artists and in reshaping its festival for the benefit of live audiences across Greater Manchester and beyond. Further cohorts were recruited into MJF's artist development programmes, soundcheck, Hothouse and new works were commissioned through the MJF originals programme and as part of MJF's participation in the Jerwood Jazz Encounters collaboration. 

## **1: MJF2023 festival** 

MJF2023 (May 19-28) was delivered, built upon the success and foundation of MJF2022 and following a similar model and aim: to curate 10 days of contemporary jazz and unforgettable experiences for audiences, across 10 partner venues in Manchester (four more than MJF2022), alongside a new commission and a piano trail that encouraged public engagement. The successful opening weekender at First Street attracted 8,000 visitors and cemented the idea that a free, accessible introduction to the festival in a public space creates a vibrant, inclusive, barrier-free environment. This affords MJF the opportunity to present emerging artists, reach new audiences and generate income and potential sponsorship opportunities through ancillary earned income. 23,000 people attended free and ticketed events across the festival, an increase of 25% on the previous year. 

The programme reflected the organisation's mission and its ambitions for high quality and diversity, with some notable engagement achievements: 

(a) 71% of ensembles featured female-identifying musicians - consistently one of the UK's highest ratings 

(b) 55% of ensembles featured musicians with a diverse cultural background 

(c) 76% of artists were from the North 

(d) 58% of events were free to attend 

(e) 96% of respondents said their whole festival experience was either very good or good. 

## **2: Talent Development** 

Thanks to its continual improvement and the bespoke nature of its artist support, MJF Hothouse is now recognised as one of the leading jazz artist development programmes in the UK. It combines new work development opportunities with tailored 1-1 mentoring, network and personal development for 6 under-represented, diverse mid-career artists from the North. Funded by ACE and PRS Foundation, MJF delivered its seventh round of this pioneering initiative, and impacted the participants in various profound ways, from wholesale changes in artistic direction to wellbeing support. 

MJF Hothouse continues to achieve its objectives of diversity and inclusion for the jazz scene, not only through the demographics of the participants, but through its legacy, as demonstrated by the artists' ensuing achievements, ranging from festival commissions to national awards. 

Soundcheck, delivered both online and in person in Autumn 2022, recruited ten 18-25 year-old artists from across Greater Manchester with little or no experience of improvisation in their music-making. Once again, the focus was placed on under-represented people, with a range of diversities from cultural heritage, disability and sexuality to educational and socio-economic backgrounds. Participants were offered an 8-week intensive programme, working towards sharing new work containing improvisation for the first time. 

Along the way, they were given a Hothouse mentor, a personal introductory session with an industry professional, a personalised playlist, participation in a group jam session at a professional venue, and an introduction to improvisation concepts. 

"It made me see myself as more than just a background musician. I can also be a capable creator, leader, artist and producer, and part of something bigger than simply the projects I'm in." 

"I would not have had the courage to get a new band together, write songs for them and perform without Hothouse. Hothouse gave me the confidence that I could be the kind of musician I dream about" - comments from our artist development programme alumni.

Manchester Jazz Festival 

Report of the Trustees for the Year Ended 30 June 2023 

Continuing MJF's 2023-year tradition of commissioning new work, and in partnership with the Jerwood Jazz Encounters programme with Cheltenham Jazz Festival, MJF presented Piera Onacko's 'Themory', a sound installation using family history narratives from home-movie footage contributed by local audiences. This supported our mission to empower artists to develop new music that involves communities in the creative process whilst furthering their own artistic vision. 

MJF also led a pilot European artist development exchange programme 'Constellations', with 9 international partners and 9 artists. 

MJF also contributed to national and international panels, webinars and conferences, including the Take 5 programme run by Serious, the Europe Jazz Network annual conference in Sofia, and the JPN Conference in Belfast. 

MJF continued its Founder Membership of Black Lives in Music initiative and as a Keychange signatory, to support campaigns to increase awareness of imbalances in cultural diversity and gender representation on and off stage in the UK music industry. 

## **FINANCIAL REVIEW** 

## **Financial position** 

As an annual festival whose window of opportunity for earned income relies on a condensed period, MJF depends on the continued support of our core funders. All our main sponsors recommitted to supporting MJF in their new funding period with funding at 100% or above. This, alongside good audience attendance at ticketed events, means that the charity finished the financial year with a healthy surplus that will be added to the company reserves. 

Our venue partnerships across the city have resulted in MJF being able to deliver the festival with a moderately low risk. 

## **Income** 

Total income for the period was £274,402 (2022: £266,386). Income from grants, trusts and foundations awarded in the reporting period was £236,981 (2022: £237,126), of which Arts Council England contributions were £153,292 (2022: £171,531). Current Arts Council England NPO funding was extended for a year to enable recovery from the impact of Covid-19 restrictions, running until 31 March 2023, after which the new NPO funded period began from 1 April 2023. 

## **Trustees wish to thank all our funders in 2022-3:** 

Arts Council England Manchester City Council Greater Manchester Combined Authority PRS for Music Foundation Granada Foundation 

MJF acknowledges the generous support of MJF Friends, sponsors, individual donors and audiences for their continued support of Manchester Jazz Festival over the last 12 months. 

## **Expenditure** 

Total expenditure for the reporting period was £257,169 (2022: £236,955).

Report of the Trustees for the Year Ended 30 June 2023 

## **FINANCIAL REVIEW** 

## **Reserves policy** 

MJF finished the period covered by this report with net income of £17,233 (2022: £29,431). Unrestricted funds of £108,250 and restricted funds of £169 were carried forward to the 2023-4 financial year. 

MJF, in a normal year, adheres to best practice on reserves and aims to sustain its free reserve of 3 months' running costs plus 10-20% of turnover. This is to enable the charity to manage unexpected events and to respond quickly to opportunities. 

## **FUTURE PLANS** 

The cost-of-living crisis is impacting audience and ticket buying behaviour, and along with increased pressure on public subsidy, makes forecasting for 2024 challenging. However, our recently revised venue-partnership festival model provides us with a solid foundation for delivery, supplemented by additional family and invitation activities to engage communities. 

Staff structure changes made in 2022 have successfully strengthened the organisation's communications capabilities, along with advances with cultural diversity of the workforce and board. MJF's successfully renewed ACE NPO funding was confirmed and will run to March 2027. 

Plans are underway to mark the organisation's 30th anniversary in May 2025, with a fundraising campaign to support this. 

## **STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT Governing document** 

The charity is controlled by its governing document, a deed of trust, and constitutes a limited company, limited by guarantee, as defined by the Companies Act 2006. 

MJF is a company limited by guarantee and a Registered charity, with a Board of directors who are also its Trustees. 

As stated in the Memorandum and Articles of Association, MJF was founded in 1996 to promote and advance the appreciation of and participation in music, especially contemporary music, including jazz and world music, in the North West of England and particularly Greater Manchester. 

It does this primarily through the organisation and presentation of the annual MJF, a series of free and ticketed events staged at various city centre venues. 

## **Recruitment and appointment of new trustees** 

The Board of trustees is comprised of diverse individuals well-matched to the momentum of the organisation. Trustees are recruited either through personal approaches, advertisement or through a Board Bank scheme. They are subsequently invited for an informal interview and then formal discussion with the Board prior to the Board voting on their appointment at a Board meeting.

## **STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT** 

## **Risk management** 

The Trustees have a duty to identify and review the risks to which the charity is exposed and to ensure appropriate controls are in place to provide reasonable assurance against fraud and error. 

## **Responsibilities of the members of the Council in relation to the financial statements** 

The Trustees are responsible for preparing the trustees' annual report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (The Financial Reporting Standards applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland "FRS 102"). 

Company law requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year. Under company law the trustees must not approve the financial statements unless they are satisfied that they give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and of the incoming resources and applications of resources, including its income and expenditure, of the charity for the year. In preparing those financial statements the trustees are required to: 

" Select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently; 

" Observe the methods and principles in the Charities Statement of Recommended Practice (FRS102); 

" Make judgements and accounting estimates that are reasonable and prudent; 

" State whether applicable accounting standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; 

" Prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in operation. 

The trustees are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain the charity's transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities. 

In preparing this report the trustees have taken advantage of the small company exemptions.

Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of Manchester Jazz Festival 

## **Independent examiner's report to the trustees of Manchester Jazz Festival ('the Company')** 

I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Company for the year ended 30 June 2023. 

## **Responsibilities and basis of report** 

As the charity's trustees of the Company (and also its directors for the purposes of company law) you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 ('the 2006 Act'). 

Having satisfied myself that the accounts of the Company 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 your charity's accounts as carried out under Section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 ('the 2011 Act'). In carrying out my examination I have followed the Directions given by the Charity Commission under Section 145(5) (b) of the 2011 Act. 

## **Independent examiner's statement** 

Since your charity's gross income exceeded £250,000 your examiner must be a member of a listed body. I can confirm that I am qualified to undertake the examination because I am a member of the Association of Accounting Technicians, 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: 

1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the Company as required by Section 386 of the 2006 Act; or 

2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or 

3. the accounts 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 accounts 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 accounts to be reached.
