## i
- . Development support for young artists providing them with useful information through Industry contacts.
## Rock School —
- « We support young people from nine to eighteen providing regular band sessions, led by Music Leaders, three days per week, during term times in our Harwich facility. As a result of COVID we no longer operate at the Jaywick Martello Tower and have integrated participants into our Harwich based operation,
The geographic area in which we operate has high levels of unemployed and low family incomes. In planning our activilies, the trustees have considered the Charity Commissions guidance on public benefit, including the guidance on public benefit and fee charging. We are Music relies on grants and the income from fees to cover Its operating costs. We charged £4.00 per week fo participants for one-hour tuition and unlimited access to the facililies in 2020/2021. The trustees also have discretionary powers to enable people to attend for free and have used these powers during lhe COVID crisis,
## ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE
## IMPACT OF COVID 19 ON CURRENT & FUTURE OPERATION
COVID has had a devastating effect on our operation. Although we provided some online services from June to Seplember 2020 these were poorly supported by our participants. We were able to open our facilities from September 2020, wilh a slow pick up from participants, and then closed in Lockdown from December 2020 to mid-April 2021, Since March 2020 we have not delivered any primary school sessions.
The emphasis of our projects has always centred on getting young people out of their homes and into aclivities that motivate them, leading to live performances, so it has had a disastrous effect on our operation. During Lockdown we delivered online artist livesiream performances and training for our Music leaders.
## Long Term Impact-
We will not be providing Primary school afterschool sessions for the foreseeable future. We will not be proving sessions at Jaywick Martello Tower, We do not anticipate live performances before July 2021. We will continue to operate COVID secure facililies.
Below is a summary of the year's achievements and performance more details are available on our website, www.we-ore-music.org.uk
## Get Known
The only highlight to note Is that we have secured fulure funding through fo August 2022 from Youth Music to expand and continue our work. Gel known was hard hit by COVID, we thought bands and artists would take the opportunity to write and record new material, bul they were upset with the fact |hal there were no gigs where they could ploy to an audience, Our live performance programmes have not existed since March 2020.
Also studio space was too small to provide for COVID isolation and we moved the Get Known operation to a new studio space at Hamford View. This opened at the end of November 2020 and shut in December 2020. Although we could have worked in the space, several of our staff contracted COVID and with levels high in the Tendring area we remained shut until March 202),
Since opening the programme has taken off and mos! weekends, we have one or lwo bands working on

material producing singles and live performance videos. For our staff we have operated training courses in recording techniques including Pro tools and Video production courses. There are exciting opportunities ahead for many of {he bands we have been working with and we are hopeful thal we will be able to Help them into the music industry.
## Rock School Club Programme.
Regular sessions ran until March 2020 with 35 players, |hen we closed wilh no sessions or live performances.
In September 2020 we re-opened with | 46 players and no players from Jaywick. Setting us back to a lower level than in our first weeks |2 years ago. Given our summer 2019 show attracted an audience of over 300 people drawn from across Tendring and our sell out Christmas 2019 event since then no live performances have been run to date.
We shul again with Lockdown in December 2020 and re-opened In April 2021 with 12 players. Since then we have worked hard to rebuild the programme and al the end of May have 27 players with 8 from Jawick. Siill a long way fo go bul have a show on 18 July which hopefully will fire enthusiasm again.
## Rock the Tower - Jaywick Project,
We ran regular sessions one night per week a! Jaywick Martello Tower wilh around 20 players. funded by the Essex Music Education Hub and ECC, though to March 2020 when COVID shut the facility. In April 2021, we have incorporated some of the participants into sessions at the Harwich Facility.
