Objectives and Activities
The object of the charity, as set out in the Memorandum and Articles of Association is the advancement of the Christian faith.
To deliver the charitable object, the Trust offers a range of music-related charitable services to churches and schools through its flagship schools programme, iSingPOP. The aim is to present the Christian message and the positive values it promotes in a way to which children and young people can relate.
There are 3 main values underpinning our projects. Firstly, it is about sharing the good news of our Christian faith. Secondly, we are passionate about great music. We use fun, modern pop songs specifically written for our projects which are based around great values and themes. Thirdly iSingPOP is about community. Our projects aim to bring school, church and home together through a community project that is uplifting and promotes joy and togetherness.
Achievements and Performance
For the first 8 months of 2021, the pandemic continued to play havoc with the ‘normal’ running of schools, with a further lockdown in January and then the mandate of ‘bubble’ working from Easter. This significantly affected our core project “The Main Event’ as we were unable to work, in person, in any school before September.
During these 8 months, many of our administrative support team remained on furlough, though with some flexible working hours undertaken to continue to liaise with schools through the uncertainty.
Despite the difficulty of this period, these months did, however, give us the opportunity to further develop and promote our new digital resources.
Classroom Worship
Due to popular demand from the schools, we decided to continue offering Classroom Worship throughout 2021. Classroom Worship was incredibly well received from an ever-growing number of schools as it provided an opportunity for all stakeholders to take part in, and engage with, fun and meaningful collective worship despite the fractured nature schools found themselves operating in. Classroom Worship became its own longer-term project this year, and we found that it has greatly enhanced the work of “The Main Event”. The children are so excited after watching the team each week that when our team arrive in school, they already feel like they already know

Innervation Trust Limited
them. This means that the children are excited and engaged with the project before we even step foot into the school on day 1.
Classroom Worship is an exciting resource designed to unite the whole school, even though children may be working in smaller bubbles or learning from home.
Once-a-week, 20-minute sessions involve almost no preparation in advance and are differentiated for Key Stage 1 and Key Stage 2 where necessary.
Trustees’ Annual Report Year Ended 31[st] December 2021
Each act of collective worship includes:
-
An animated Bible Story
-
A reflection on the theme
-
An interactive prayer activity
-
An iSingPOP dance routine to learn and practice
-
The Lord’s Prayer
On average in 2021, over 75,000 children, their parents and school staff worshipped with Classroom Worship each and every week.
Classroom Worship Feedback:
“We have been using the resources on our home learning platform and in school for class worship and from my perspective, they have saved me so much time, which has been a life saver. They are brilliant quality and really engaging for staff and pupils and I think they have also helped to break the stigma that collective worship is 'stuffy and dry' for parents.” Headteacher “First off, I sat in a meeting with RE Hub Leads from all over the Diocese and they were all raving about the iSingPOP Collective Worship resources and asked us to pass along a huge thank you! They say that siblings/parents and everyone at home are fully engaging.” Collective Worship Lead “Our children love iSingPOP, from Reception right through to Year 6. During the last year, when whole school worship was not possible it was nice to share a resource that the whole school could use but in our classroom bubbles - the next best thing to sharing as a whole school. We also shared the videos with families at home and they very much enjoyed watching the worship videos together and taking part in the activities. We have continued to use the resource even though we are back to whole school worship as the children enjoyed them so much.” Headteacher
Classroom Worship has now become a distinctive part of the iSingPOP brand and something we are keen to grow and develop further in the future.
Faithathome

Seeing the quality of our digital work during the pandemic, we were invited by Andy Wolfe (Deputy Chief Education Officer) to partner with the Church of

Innervation Trust Limited
England as primary lead to script and present a set of collective worship video resources called FaithatHome.
Our Media Team carried on working throughout Spring and Summer 2021 on series 3 & 4 of FaithatHome, a primary and secondary school offering which covered topics including Lent, Pentecost, Easter, Modern Day Slavery, Bullying, Diversity & Inclusion.
FaithatHome is a national campaign that builds on the work of Growing Faith and Everyday Faith to support the development of faith and pastoral care of children and young people.

Easter Watch Party
After the success of the Christmas Watch Party we offered in 2020, we also decided to put together a set of interactive Easter digital resources so that schools could film their children to be able to put on their own Easter Watch Party, allowing families and community to engage with their school and church at this important time of year, despite high Covid cases, school closures and bubble working. At a time when people could not gather in groups iSingPOP’s Easter Watch Parties enabled families to hear the hope of Easter and the good news of Jesus in their own homes.
Diocese Leavers’ Services
In Summer 2021 we helped both Chelmsford and Lincoln Dioceses produce digital resources for their Leavers’ Services. We also filmed and edited a service for over 100 Gloucester Diocese schools, including a live action/animation hybrid of Bob Hartman’s lost sheep story.
Back In School
Periodically throughout the year, and as furlough ended, our Operations Team spent hours organising and reorganising the postponed schools' projects.
Finally in Autumn 2021, we started working back in schools. This was not all plain sailing due to various Covid outbreaks and numerous alterations and last-minute changes needing to be navigated. Having said this, we have been overwhelmed by the response to our work we have seen in the schools we have visited. After two years of lengthy separation, in many schools iSingPOP has been the event to reunite the school, home and church communities once again through our week-long projects, culminating in a community concert in the local church.
We had great feedback from the schools who were so happy to be able to celebrate and sing together after such a long time. It was very emotional as
5
Innervation Trust Limited
many concerts were the first opportunity communities had had to see each other that year.
iSingPOP Main Event Feedback
"We really did have a fabulous time and I really felt everyone was much more connected afterwards. It was a truly wonderful experience and that was only because you were such a brilliant teacher. The parents absolutely loved it! We sing iSingPOP songs most days. The Y1 children always ask for... Wait for it... FEVER forever!!!!!!!!!! It makes me chuckle so much!" - Helen Webb, Headteacher – Colwall
Christmas Songs
We introduced three brand new Christmas songs into our current Christmas set in 2021. It was wonderful to be able to use them to share the “Story of Christmas” with the children in school. Quite a few of the services had to be either postponed or filmed and watched from home as Covid was on the rise again at the end of the year and schools were being very cautious about Trustees’ Annual Report Year Ended 31[st] December 2021
larger gatherings. Despite these difficulties, our Christmas projects were hugely successful and we are already booking up for the Christmas period of 2022.
Summary
In 2021, we were delighted to be able to work with 32 schools and shared the Christian faith with over 25,000 children, families and school staff through our in-person “Main Event” project in Autumn of 2021. When this is considered alongside the 75,000 children worshipping with Classroom Worship each week, we had an approximate impact on the lives of over 100,000 people in 2021. We are profoundly grateful for these opportunities and consider this fulfillment of our charitable objectives.
Strategic Report
Financial Results
Innervation Trust Limited receives its funding from three sources: voluntary income and grants, income from schools’ weeks projects and income from the sale of music and merchandise. This year we also took advantage of the government Coronavirus Support Package with the Job Retention Scheme.
Total donation and grant income, including Gift Aid amounted to £175,079 (2020: £204,243).
6
Innervation Trust Limited
‘Income from Charitable Activities’ in the accounts, shown as £113,805 (2020: £88,851).
Expenditure on Charitable Activities has increased to £256,865 in 2021 compared to £251,049 in 2020. This is due to steps taken by the trust to sure up finances during the pandemic, alongside the schools closing. Total income exceeded expenditure in the period by £23,351 (2020: £32,914). This all related to unrestricted funds.
Principal Risks and Uncertainties
The Trustees have identified the major risks to which the charity is exposed and have put in place processes and procedures to ensure that such risks are mitigated as far as possible. The principal risks are identified as:
- Covid 2019 - When it became clear that the iSingPOP project was going to be a significant risk factor in spreading Covid 19 and the school's shutdown we realised we would have to hibernate the iSingPOP Experience. The trustees and key staff took steps immediately to sure up the finances. All staff apart from the director and one of our creative team were furloughed, a government small business grant was
Trustees’ Annual Report Year Ended 31[st] December 2021
sort and when it became clear that the pandemic was going to carry on into the new academic year the office and all the regional lock ups were closed. The director immediately contacted all major donors to share our vision and plans during the pandemic and the initial lockdown. This enabled us to utilise our freelancers, alongside our creative team to start online resources, initially this was in the form of a weekly YouTube episode, then we were given then working with the Church of England of their #faithathome initiative. When school bubbles arrived, and we realised the need for help with Collective Worship in a classroom setting Classroom Worship was born. This has enabled us to continue with our trusts aims, alongside bringing back some key staff and giving much needed work to our freelance project leaders. With the furlough scheme we have not needed to lay off any staff in 2020 or 2021.
- Retention of Key Staff - As we have a lot of freelancers in the arts industry, we were concerned that they would leave the industry, due to the restrictions Covid 19 has placed on their work. To mitigate this, we have where we can give them opportunity and drawn on the pool of talent to work with us on the on the new

Innervation Trust Limited
digital media. This has been a wonderful experience as they have been crucial in the
scripting and production of our new digital media, and we are now built a creative/media team which just makes our project stronger.
- Retention of Supporters – We were concerned at the start of the pandemic that we would lose key support; we have endeavoured to send out regular clear communication, via mailouts, social media and zoom events. This has meant we have retained a lot of our key partners and in some cases, they have increased their support. We are so thankful for all our support partnerships.
Resources
The key resources of the trust are its incredibly talented and motivated staff, project workers and technical assistants as well as excellent creative talent in the form of song writing ability. The iSingPOP Ambassadors are working well and increasing our reach in schools. The trust has a significant catalogue of songs tailored for use in the iSingPOP programme. In September 2021, the trust employed a videographer and partnered with a media consultant, this has been key to developing digital resources during the pandemic.
Reserves Policy
Last year we committed to improving our financial position and building reserves to cover three months expenditure over the next three years, as soon as the pandemic hit, we shored up our finances, that alongside our extremely generous donors and support network has enabled us throughout the pandemic to continue towards this goal.
Trustees’ Annual Report Year Ended 31[st] December 2021
The Future
We still have a large number of schools waiting for us to rebook postponed projects and enquiries for new bookings are starting to come in. We are looking forward to going back into schools in 2022 to run the core project, alongside building on the last year success of Classroom Worship.
We plan to continue creating fun, interactive, inspirational Christian resources to serve children, parents, teachers, and churches right across the UK. Both will work hand in hand creating a stronger project and giving us further reach to share to good news of the gospel and the hope it brings with more schools' churches and communities than ever before.
Going Concern
8
Innervation Trust Limited
Over the year, income exceeded expenditure by £23,351 resulting in unrestricted funds of £44,056 at 31[st] December 2021. There were no restricted funds at that date.
Due to the pandemic, and the kindness of our supporter we halted loan repayments in March, so the loans remain at £17,500, which we plan to start repaying once the project resumes.
The trustees have prepared projections of the income and expenditure of the charity for 2022 and 2023. The management team are confident that, with the resumption of projects, the new digital resources and the support of existing donors, the charity has sufficient cash to meet its liabilities as they fall due.

2. Accounting policies (Cont’d)
Group accounts
The Charity is exempt from the requirement to prepare consolidated accounts by the virtue of the size of the group. These financial statements therefore present information about the charity as an individual company rather than as a group.
Statement of cash flows
The charitable company has taken advantage of the small company exemption and has not included a Statement of cash flows within the financial statements.
Income
Income is included in the Statement of Financial Activities when the charity is legally entitled to it, receipt is probable and the amount can be quantified with reasonable accuracy.
Investment income is accounted for the period in which the charity is entitled to receipt.
Expenditure
Expenditure is included in the Statement of Financial Activities on an accruals basis.
Costs of raising funds comprise those costs incurred in generating donations and legacies.
The Trust’s charitable activity is the advancement of the Christian faith worldwide. Costs incurred in furthering these aims are related to running schools weeks, including costs of merchandising and organising events. It also includes governance costs which are costs incurred for running the charity itself as an organisation, including costs related to the independent examination and accountancy.
Allocation of support costs
All costs are directly attributable to specific activities.
Pension scheme
The costs of providing defined contribution pensions are charged to the SOFA as they fall due. The difference between contributions payable in the period and those actually paid are shown as accruals in the balance sheet. The
18

2. Accounting policies (Cont’d)
Tangible fixed assets and depreciation
Tangible fixed assets are stated at cost less depreciation, with assets greater than the de-minimis of £500 being capitalised.
Depreciation is provided at rates calculated to write off the cost of fixed assets, less their estimated residual value over their expected useful lives on the following basis:
Fixtures, fittings and equipment 25% reducing balance Motor Vehicles 25% reducing balance
Stock
Stocks are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value. The stock held is merchandise for resale.
Debtors
Trade debtors and accrued income are recognised at the settlement amount due. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid.
Cash at bank and in hand
Cash is represented by cash in hand and deposits with financial institutions.
Creditors
Creditors 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.
Funds
Funds held by the charity are either:
19
Innervation Trust Limited

Notes to the Financial Statements Year Ended 31[st] December 2021
2. Accounting policies (Cont’d)
Financial instruments
Innervation Trust Limited only has financial assets and financial liabilities of a kind that qualify as basic financial instruments. Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at transaction value and subsequently measured at their settlement value.
Operating lease
Rentals applicable to operating leases are charged to the SOFA on a straightline basis over the term of the lease.
Recognition of liabilities
Liabilities are recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation that commits the charity to the obligation.
Taxation
The company is a registered charity and as such is entitled to tax exemption on all its income and gains, properly applied for its charitable purposes.
VAT
Irrecoverable VAT is charged as a cost against the activity for which the expenditure was incurred.
Critical accounting judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty
Estimates and judgements are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.
The annual depreciation charges for the tangible assets are sensitive to changes in the estimated useful lives and residual values of the assets. See
20
Innervation Trust Limited
note 13 for the carrying amount of the tangible assets and note 2 for the depreciation policies.
