- We are Music – Let’s Break the Mould
We strive to provide for the advancement of young people, between sixteen and twenty five, through music into the music industry, and education. We are excited to be running a project, Let’s Break the Mould with the support of our Youth Council, Decoy Studios and Colour Sound with funding support from Youth Music.
The geographic area in which we operate has high levels of unemployed and low family incomes. Tendring is ranked as the most deprived of all Essex districts. Essex County Council figures show Tendring is “falling further and further behind” and the situation worsened since COVID.
The Essex County Council Organisational Intelligence report on the profile of people living in Tendring shows a challenging environment facing young people in the area.
-
Secondary pupils score the lowest in wellbeing in Essex.
-
Seven areas in Tendring are in the most deprived 10% in England.
-
There are low family incomes in the area.
-
15 wards across Tendring have child poverty in the 20-50% range with significant high pockets (30%+) in Harwich, Clacton and Walton on the Naze.
-
Jaywick is the most deprived area in England
-
Tendring has the highest number of NEETs, and children in care in Essex.
-
There are very few activities available for young people in the area, a high degree of vandalism, early drugs use and because of the coastal locations a low police presence.
In planning our activities, 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 with minimal other income. All services are, due to the support of grant funding, free to participants.
WE ARE MUSIC - MOVING FORWARD
At the beginning of the financial year we were starting to recover from the effects of COVID and securing funding to stabilise the charities future. Youth Music had assisted us with reallocating their funding to improve our fundraising and ensure that our operation become structurally sound and resilient to change. At the end of the year we have secured funding to protect our forward programmes into 2025.
Youth Voice
We are a youth led organisation at the core of which is the WAM Youth group who are involved in every step forward. This group comprises young people from the Harwich and Jaywick centres along with the operational WAM team. Regular meeting discuss the way forward.
Saturday “open house” Sessions.
The youth group have developed and operate the Saturday “open house” sessions. It provides a space at WAM Harwich for social gathering, jamming and rehearsal spaces open to current and former members from both Harwich and Jaywick. This programme is funded until July 2024 by the People’s Health trust. An unexpected outcome from this project was that it fired up the young team who have used these meetings to develop new ideas.

WAM Harwich
Numbers have been steadily building and we have received support from the National Lottery Community Fund through to June 2025. This has catalysed other activities. We have run programmes with local primary schools providing six lesson courses at our WAM Harwich facility. To date we have worked with over 140 children and three primary schools. This has attracted further funding from the Essex Music Hub.
In addition we are running a series of summer taster sessions with the Essex Music Hub.
WAM Jaywick
This has restarted and is building steadily initial funding was provided by the Essex Arts & Culture Fund and is now funded through to December 2023 by the Tendring Community Fund.
Lets Break the Mould.
Following on from our Get Known programmes this project has received grant funding from Youth Music. It will provide a better deal for young artists to fund their recordings, release tracks and work with Industry Professionals. The support of Colour Sound provides a mechanism to share income from the artists streaming income with potential fans and those wishing to help young emerging artists. Artists will be selected by a team of industry professionals, then recorded at Decoy Studios and released on all streaming platforms.
FINANCIAL REVIEW
Our turnover £95,916 shows an increase on last year (last year £52,105) and we returned an excess of £14,964.
Various grants provide restricted funding, and we are holding balances totalling £34,975 at the year-end for these funds. These are supported by £60,815 cash at the bank. At the start of the year we had secured funding from the Essex Community Foundation, and during the year we obtained support from the People’s Health Trust, Essex Arts & Community Fund, and the National Lottery Community. In addition we received funding, from the Essex Music Hub, to support our primary school sessions. Our WAM Jaywick centre received funding from the Tendring Community Fund and Youth Music has supported our Let’s Break the Mould programme to assist emerging artists.
