The trustees are pleased to present their annual report for the year ended 30[th ] June 2025.

The financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011, Companies Act 2006, Accounting and Reporting by Charities; Statement of Recommended Practice (SORP 2019) applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS102) (as amended for accounting periods commencing from 1[st] January 2019).

OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES

The aims and objectives of MPNW are to use music therapy to bring improvements to mental health and well-being, for people of all ages and abilities, from pre-school age to the over-80s'. Its work is based on the belief that music is a powerful and positive force in many people's lives and that in some way, everyone can respond to it.

Music therapists use music in a specific way to encourage people to interact and communicate so that over time the therapy helps individuals to develop and to fulfil their potential.

We review our aims, objectives, and activities every year. We look at what we achieved and the outcomes of our work during the year under review. This review looks at the success of each key activity and the benefits delivered to the groups of people we are set up to help; and helps us remain focussed on our stated purposes

We refer to the guidance provided by the Charity Commission on public benefit, when reviewing our aims and objectives, and planning future activities. We consider how planned activities will contribute to the aims and objectives we have set.

Public Benefit

The charity's objects, for the public benefit, are as follows:

  1. The protection and promotion of good health, both physical and mental, by the therapeutic and specific use of music.

  2. The relief of sickness, and the alleviation of developmental, emotional, and social difficulties, by the therapeutic and specific use of music.

  3. The advancement of the education of the public concerning music as a means of therapy and the provision of support for the education and training of music therapists and of other interested professionals and students; and

  4. The promotion and publication of research concerning the therapeutic use of music as set out in these objects.

The charity delivers these public benefits by delivering: -

ACHIEVEMENTS, SERVICE DELIVERY AND PERFORMANCE FOR THE YEAR

The principal activities and achievements of the charity during the year under review were as follows:

MUSICPLACE NORTH-WEST

0[TH] JUNE 2025

Over the course of the year MPNW provided a music therapy service in 9 schools across Merseyside, Cheshire, Lancashire and North Wales and in 1 college. Contracts were of varying duration, but most were for a full academic year. Most were renewals of contracts from the previous financial year, demonstrating appreciation of the service provided.

We began some new work at Centre 56, a domestic abuse charity in Liverpool that supports families who have experienced abuse or who are in crisis. Our Music therapist provided Music therapy sessions for nursery aged children. The sessions were very well received. As an outcome of this work, experiencing domestic abuse. Towards the end of the financial year, we began discussions and planning for Music therapy sessions to be run for women and children at the refuges.

Over the year in various settings Music therapy was provided for children and young people with communication difficulties, autism, severe learning difficulties and physical disabilities and children and young people with social, emotional, and mental health needs. In the college setting, Music therapy was provided for young adults with learning disabilities.

Sessions at Aintree University Hospital Stroke Centre continued throughout the year, with the music therapy service being greatly valued by both patients and staff. The Music therapist worked closely with the multidisciplinary team and the sessions supported patient recovery and rehabilitation.

Our work at Mersey Care NHS Trust with adults with mental health needs continued throughout the financial year. The service continued to receive excellent feedback from service users and staff.

At the end of 2024 we faced a sudden and significant increase in the rent for our office premiss and so we needed to relocate our base. We were successful in finding new premises quite quickly and moved to the Moozik Academy on the site of Woolton High School, where we were allocated an office, a Music therapy room and a storage space at a manageable rent. This enabled us to recommence our sessions with privately referred clients. Clients included adults with learning disabilities and physical disabilities. An online service was provided for one individual. We also provided sessions for one adult client and one child in their own homes, and sessions for some young adult clients in a Day Centre setting.

In June 2025 we were required to move to another part of the Woolton high school site, the ground floor of a 3-storey building, separate from the main school. We were again allocated an office, music therapy room and a storage space and we had excellent disabled access.

We were able to continue to provide sessions at a Chester Hospice because of a successful the National Lottery community fund. We were grateful to receive both these grants. Music therapy sessions were provided at the Hospice throughout the year, in both the inpatient ward and the Wellbeing Centre. Feedback from the Hospice about the music therapy service continued to be excellent.

Over the year our Music therapy team worked with over 300 people of all ages in a variety of health and educational settings.

There were some changes of staff during the year. Some therapists moved away from the North West of England or took on new roles in a different part of the country. We therefore appointed new members of staff to our team. We have a rigorous recruitment process and have a strong team of therapists with a variety of skills and specialisms.

Our previous Bookkeeper resigned and we appointed a volunteer to the role of financial administrator. This appointment has gone well and has reduced our core costs.

Other MPNW activities continued during 2024 -2025 included, but were not limited to:

minimum but raising funds to support these costs is an important element of our financial plan going forward.

FINANCIAL REVIEW

Total income in the year was £114,060 (2024: £91,910) of which £14,590, related to funding for projects upon which restrictions are placed.

Total expenditure in the year was £111,202 (2024: £101,377), leaving a surplus for the year of £2,858 (2024: deficit £9,467).

At 31[st] March 2025 £27,569 (2024: £24,711) of which £8,406 (2024: £4,438) represented restricted funds.

Risk Management

The main risk that the charitable company faces is financial risk as it relies on an income mix of therapy income and grants.

The board continue to regularly review the financial strategy, and the Trustees maintain their view that there is a need for a more robust pricing structure, whilst maintaining the charitable objectives and support for people with limited means. The board have considered a new model, including the appointment of a business development manager to take on the role of developing new business opportunities, with clients and submitting grant application. Therefor releasing the current Music therapist/Coordinator to focus more on clinical music therapy work and on leading the therapy team.

To cover the additional costs of this model, we need to continue to make applications to Charitable Trusts for significant funding (minimum £25,000 over a period of 3 years). We keep core costs to the minimum but raising funds to support these costs is an important element of our financial plan going forward.

Reserves Policy

At the end of the financial year, unrestricted funds totalled £19,163 of which £746 is represented by tangible assets (see note 8), leaving a surplus free reserve of £18,417. The charitable company requires £8,382 for one running costs and £9,081 for redundancy provision, total of £17,463.
