During the period the Foundation paid the Company teaching fees totalling £18,373 (2020/1 £14,068). All fees charged by the Company to the Foundation are priced at or below the cost of providing the teaching.
The trustees acknowledge the potential conflict of interest and have reviewed the relationship between the two entities.
In accordance with the guidelines of the Charities Commission for England and Wales there is nothing preventing the Foundation from engaging the services of any other independent third party, should it believe that the third party provides a better alternative in fulfilling the charitable objectives of The Rhythm Studio Foundation.

OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES
Policies and objectives
The Rhythm Studio Foundation (“RSF”) was founded in 2011 with the goal of transforming the lives of young people through music.
“We believe young people deserve the chance to transform or enrich their lives through music, whatever their background or their personal circumstances.” - Mission statement
In association with The Rhythm Studio Academy of Music (“RSAM”), we work with schools, hospitals and community groups to provide opportunities to economically underprivileged and socially disadvantaged young people who have limited access to music-making.
ACTIVITIES FOR ACHIEVING OBJECTIVES
School workshops
We deliver pop and rock music workshops that allow local primary school children to experience the excitement of collaborative music-making. The workshops include creative music technology sessions using computers and tablets, and pop choir and rock band sessions culminating in a live performance at the end of term. Secondary school sessions focus on creative music technology using Logic Pro X software.
Hospital workshops
We carry out a program of weekly and fortnightly inspirational music workshops on the paediatric wards of local hospitals at St Mary’s, Paddington with the Imperial Health Charity and Chelsea & Westminster Hospital with the CW Plus Charity. We also have a Young Patients Programme providing one-to-one music lessons via Zoom. This scheme is open to young people, aged 8-18 who have medical conditions that mean they need to shield at home, have limited access to activities due to medical issues or whose well-being or mental-health would improve by having music lessons.
Provision of Scholarships and Bursaries
The Rhythm Studio Foundation Scholarship is an annual award aimed at talented and passionate 11 to 18 year-old musicians in need of financial support to help reach their full potential. We fund weekly lessons on drums, guitar, bass, piano, vocals or music technology. Students also experience playing in bands, performing live and recording as well as mentoring from music industry professionals.
ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE
Going concern
After making appropriate enquiries, the trustees have a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. For this reason, they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements. Further details regarding the adoption of the going concern basis can be found in the Accounting Policies.
REVIEW OF ACTIVITIES
In July 2021, RSAM moved premises from North Kensington to West London College, in West Kensington. With this larger studio space, RSF was able to expand its reach to a new group of beneficiaries in the local area whilst continuing to work with partner schools in the previous North Kensington base.
Schools
In 2021/22, as we emerged into the post-Covid environment, RSF was able to resume its series of 10-week Primary Schools Rock & Pop workshop programmes. We continued to work with four local primary schools in the North Kensington area – St Peters CE Primary School, Ark Atwood Academy, Ark Brunel Academy and St Mary’s RC Primary school – as well as adding two new schools, Addison Primary School and St Pauls CE Primary School, both local to The Rhythm Studio’s new studios.
These workshops allowed pupils to learn drums, guitar, bass or vocals and come together to form bands, as well as creating music using GarageBand on iPads or Bandlab software. Supported by John Lyon’s Charity, workshops took place at RSAM’s music studios in West Kensington as well as at schools’ premises with over 400 Year 5 and Year 6 pupils participating in our award-winning Primary Schools Rock & Pop Workshop programme, the highest number of students we have ever had.
“We have been astounded, as a school, to see what the children produce after a 10-week block at The Rhythm Studio. Their confidence to compose and consider audience and effect is impressive. Sometimes it feels like they are students in KS3! The children are so engaged and enthusiastic. They develop excellent skills in listening and collaboration which they bring back to school... We have been so fortunate to work with The Rhythm Studio staff, who support the children, have the highest expectations of what they can achieve and out no ceiling on this. The team are gifted and passionate about music and technical skills and therefore the children feel enthusiastic and appreciate the team sharing their expertise. The performances make me super proud of the children and what they can achieve”
- Claire, Head, St Pauls CE Primary
In terms of secondary schools, RSF worked in partnership with the Triborough Music Hub as part of a year-long “Sounds Like Hammersmith & Fulham” project. Sponsored by the London Mayor’s fund, RSF delivered a comprehensive set of Song Writing & Hip Hop music education resources as well as delivering a programme of live webinars and workshops to a large number of secondary school students in the Borough of Hammersmith & Fulham.
Hospitals
We were unable to resume our face-to-face hospital visits over this period. However, with our expanded Young Patients Programme, we continued to deliver weekly, zoom-based, one-toone music lessons for patients referred to us by the Imperial Health Trust.
“For us as a family, Drew being give this wonderful opportunity has been brilliant, a bit of sun on a gloomy situation. He’s looked forward to every lesson and Kaja is an amazing teacher. Online lessons have taken nothing away from the experience, lessons are well structured & Kaja is patient, enthusiastic and brings out the best in Drew.”
- Helen, patient Drew’s mother
Charity partner CW Plus have also asked us to become involved more widely in their arts programme, with opportunities including lunchtime performances, hospital radio, podcasts and Christmas concerts.
Scholarships
An RSF Scholarship worth over £1,000, is awarded on a means-tested basis, and contributes from 50%-100% of fees. In 2021/22, RSF funded 25 students, with 9 scholarships at 50% and 16 at 100%. Each student received weekly one-to-one lessons on their chosen instrument or a band class.
Scholarship holders had a number of opportunities to perform such as busking as part of “Valentine’s Voices” or featuring in the new RSF video promoting the foundation, in particular, the annual scholarship scheme. In March 2022, RSF Scholarship holder Magan was the winner of the Future Sounds competition held at the iconic Bush Hall, winning a recording day at Eastcote Studios in Ladbroke Grove and a further opportunity to perform at RSF10.
In terms of specific achievements, one of our scholarship holders, Zipporah, won a fully funded scholarship to go to Columbia University in New York. Another scholarship holder Asia, gained a place at Leeds Conservatoire and was selected for a mentoring programme by Sony Records.
Other activities
In October 2021, the RSF Welcome Evening was a small event to celebrate the move to our new home and to showcase the talent of our scholarship students. A number of our important and long-standing supporters, as well as trustees and the families of our beneficiaries attended the event
RSF delivered a weekly choir for the neighbouring refugee charity, West London Welcome. We also set up a programme offering weekly one-to-one instrument lessons to young refugees referred to us by the charity.
In May 2022, we belatedly celebrated our 10[th] anniversary with RSF10 at Bush Hall. The event showcased several scholarship performers, who played with our RSF All Stars band, which included patrons Guy Chambers and Tim Bran. Nick Lowe played a short set with his son and we had video messages from RSF patrons Coldplay, Sharleen Spiteri, Martin Terefe and Shaun Keaveny.
We also participated in The Big Gig Take One which took place at Westfield in July 2022, putting together an industry panel to give advice to young musicians, as well as providing a performance opportunity on a festival-style outdoor stage for several RSF Scholarship holders.
FINANCIAL REVIEW
Investment policy and performance
The Foundation currently holds no investments.
Reserves policy
The Foundation’s Reserves policy is to maintain 9 months of core fixed costs (i.e salary and administration). Projects will not be undertaken if they cannot be comfortably funded.
Surplus
The Foundation reported an accumulated surplus of £95,932 for the year (2020/21: £90,591). Our income at £68,311, was lower than £77,187 in the previous period which had been significantly boosted by the RSF Music Marathon Challenge. In addition, the main purpose of our major event, RSF10, was to rebuild our community after Covid restrictions rather than to raise funds. Our expenditure returned to a more normal level at £62,970 (2020/21: £39,194), as we were able to resume and expand our Primary Schools Workshop Programme.
PRINCIPAL FUNDING
Fundraising
Our fundraising activities included the RSF10 event at Bush Hall, where we relaunched our RSF Friends Scheme and unveiled our new RSF brand video, raising over £5,000 from T-shirt sales, tickets and donations on the night. Compared to 2020/21, the amounts raised were relatively modest.
Funds and Trusts
We received funding from: The Ofenheim Trust (£13,000), The Nathan M Ohrbach Fund (£4,583), The Margaret Killbery Foundation (£8,062), John Lyon’s Charity (£10,000), The Worshipful Company of Glovers (£2,500) and The Basil Samuel Charitable Trust (£5,000).
Individual Giving
We received a combination of direct donations (£9,547), the Friends Scheme (£2,410) and Gift Aid (£956) from individuals and families. Local businesses including Elephant Music, XL Recordings and CLC Solicitors also supported The Rhythm Studio Foundation and Scholarship scheme.
Fees
Our partner primary schools normally contribute to the funding of workshops – typically 2030%. We received £2750 in fees from schools during the period and offered reduced or free programmes to our new partner schools for a trial period.
Future funding
Along with diversifying our income sources, we plan to build up our community fundraising capability, increase our support from Trusts and Foundations and boost our Friends regulargiving programme.
FUTURE DEVELOPMENTS
Schools programme
We currently work with eight local schools with Year 4, 5 and Year 6 pupils and that brings us close to capacity at the studio. We have some room to expand our creative music technology workshops which can be carried out at individual schools’ premises and therefore we hope to reach more young people in the future. We also hope to increase our work with secondary schools in the local area, focusing on music production.
Hospitals
We have now resumed face-to-face hospital workshops and are continuing our Young Patients Programme with a target of 8-10 beneficiaries. We also plan to increase our workshop programme with events targeted at outpatients both at the hospitals and at The Rhythm Studio itself.
Scholarships
We aim to continue to fund 20 – 25 music tuition scholarships.
FUNDS HELD AS CUSTODIAN
The Foundation does not hold any funds as custodian.
