REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES for the year ended 31 March 2022
The trustees who are also directors of the charity for the purposes of the Companies Act 2006, present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 March 2022. The trustees have adopted the provisions of Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019).
The Urban Development Music Foundation (UDMF) was founded as a company limited by guarantee (company number 8071972) on 16 May 2012 and a registered charity (number 1149090) on 25 September 2012.
OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES Objectives and aims
Overview
UD is a Black-led youth music charity, based in the London Borough of Newham, a Levelling Up for Culture Priority Place. We have a 20+ year track record of talent development focusing on Black music, bringing communities together around Black music culture. Our work stands at the crossroads where the creativity of underground music meets the industry, combining business acumen with an understanding of youth culture. An Arts Council England (ACE) National Portfolio Organisation (NPO) since 1999, UD enjoys UK-wide industry partnerships in music and beyond. We have developed broad music education partnerships including with Music Education Hubs, National Portfolio Organisations including East London Dance with whom we codeveloped the Talent House, UK Music Members and music industry trade bodies such as AIM (Association of Independent Music), BPI (British Phonographic Industry), MMF (The Music Managers Forum), MPG (Music Producers Guild), PPL (Phonographic Performance Ltd), and major funders, including the Esmée Fairbairn Foundation, Help Musicians UK, Paul Hamlyn Foundation, PRS Foundation and Youth Music.
Our work seeks to address the needs of our target audience, identified via sector analysis and external evaluation over 8 years following an action research project in 2014/2015 and a national pilot from 2015 to 2018 which have consolidated our understanding of the intersectional problems young Black people, in particular, face in engaging in music education and talent development programmes and the barriers to progressing towards careers in the music and related creative industries:
-
East Londoners are left behind by rapid regeneration.
-
The specific training needs demanded by Black music are not met by the progression routes in music education as the core repertoire is Western classical music and this is not inclusive of Black music nor recognises its value.
-
There is a lack of strategic talent development in Black music - many artists will not achieve public profile/support to develop sustainable careers without subsidised intervention.
-
Whilst Black music has never been more commercially successful in the UK, only a small % of the workforce is from communities experiencing racial inequality or barriers to social mobility.
Although we are based in an area with high levels of deprivation, we are passionate about excellence, and the potential for excellence in every young person we encounter. Talent is everywhere, opportunity is not. 50% Newham children live in households in poverty v 37% London average (Trust for London). Unemployment in Newham is 14%, double that of London (Newham.gov.uk). Youth unemployment is 7% v 6.4% in Inner London v 5.1% for England (newhamscp.org.uk). Young people we engage would not acquire knowledge or networks to develop their talent or progress in the creative industries without UD. Our model is a sustained response, offering a pathway of engagement from school to professional career.
To date, we have supported over fifty thousand young people experiencing racial inequality and socio-economic disadvantage, taking direct action to develop talent, equipping them with skills, tools and networks needed to access and progress within the notoriously competitive music industry.
Our ambition is to create THE talent development centre and national youth music organisation for Black music, recognised by the public sector for the social and cultural impact of our work, and respected and rewarded by the private sector for the value we add to the commercial music industry.

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES for the year ended 31 March 2022
OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES
Public Benefit
Access, diversity and representation - talent is everywhere, opportunity is not
UD brings communities together around Black music culture. We work for a world where young people who make and love Black music, are recognised as equal to any excellent creative individuals, and are celebrated and supported as such. The young people we engage are: 70% Black; 50% female; 5% disabled and 50% minimum experiencing socio-economic disadvantage (re postcode, income, free school meals eligibility, risk of exclusion).
Our work centres on addressing the underrepresentation of Black and working-class artists/executives within the music sector, lack of relevant training that reflects their interests/lived experience and providing pathways into sustainable music careers. Our expanded programme at the new Talent House will enable us to engage more (double) high-potential young people from our communities, whilst retaining the diversity of participants, supporting them to progress from education into enterprise/employment in the creative industries, particularly pertinent in the context of the Black Lives Matter movement.
Case studies
Flames Collective: Born in 2016, from a series of after-school projects and song writing camps, Flames Collective is UD's flagship programme, working with young people from inner-city secondary schools who demonstrate high potential in singing or rapping. Flames gives 20+ young people talent, recruited via school outreach projects, an entry into the world of the professional music industry. Participants benefit from year-round weekly sessions and weekend or holiday camps offering expertise in vocal technique, song writing, performance skills and the opportunity to record and perform at live gigs. They have performed on stage with artists signed to major record companies including Jake Bugg, Miraa May and Ray BLK. "They are amazing!!! Thank you so much for sharing. Would love to see their next performance - they are so talent! WE ARE OBSESSED WITH THEM!" Grace Ladoja, Skepta Manager. My Hood video performed and recorded by Flames Collective featuring Y.O.U Collective.
Nayana Braithwaite, aka NAYANA , is a 19-year-old singer-songwriter from North London who joined UD's Flames Collective programme in 2018. While Nayana was academically minded at school and had considered pursuing a career as a philosophy lecturer, she decided singing was her future. She had little to no writing experience, but UD helped her to turn phrases and ideas into fully formed songs. Nayana has roots in Trinidad, and she says the storytelling and emotive traditions of the Caribbean have influenced her impressive onstage presence. "Through UD Flames Collective, I grew and started to feel a little more comfortable in the creative industries and the creative scene altogether… UD's programmes taught us everything. All the behind-the-scenes stuff, copyrights, PRS, legal stuff - I was like, this is everything that I need." Nayana has progressed from the Flames Collective to the Incubator Programme and now is employed part-time as Programme & Marketing Assistant. Upon completion of her degree at BIMM in summer 2023, she will commence full-time em ployment with UD as a valued staff member. Blog feature on UD Music website .

ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE Charitable activities
Progress in 2021/22
We achieved a great deal during 2021/22 although still impacted by COVID restrictions for a large part of the year.
Talent House
We realised our long-term vision of a purpose-designed building in Newham in partnership with East London Dance - the successful outcome of a 5-year capital project (£4.1m total, £2.1m UD) backed by strategic stakeholders GLA, ACE, LB Newham/LLDC and FFL. Co-created with young people and emerging artists, who informed building designs and programme plans, the capital project was led by Urban Development, the organisation co-founded by Pamela McCormick who is a trustee of UD Music Foundation, building on our track record of working with target beneficiaries over 20+ years.
Raising the remaining capital funding, completing the fit-out and preparing for occupancy have represented a significant and critical element of our work during 2021/22. Practical completion of one part of the building (the 'warehouse' shared with East London Dance) took place in December 2021 and the remaining part (the UD demise in the 'annexe)' in February 2022. The 'annexe' was delayed due to water ingress in July 2021 following a flash flood.
The Talent House will be gifted to the UD Music Foundation during 2022/23 upon expiry of the defects period. It is expected that this state-of-the-art studio and rehearsal space will provide opportunity for growth through a mixed revenue model - turnover will grow (£1m+) and the number of C&YP we engage/support will double (6k pa). The learning acquired from a capital project has embedded robust systems/processes - to develop as the organisation grows.
As of 31st March 2022, we are moving towards completion of the wiring and installation of the recording studios in the UD demise and preparing for a 'soft landing' period ahead of the official public launch in July 2022.
Programme
Our programme offers a ladder of progression for young people aged 14-25, with over 70% of participants from Ethnic Minority Backgrounds, and with an equal gender balance. The majority of our participants face socio-economic disadvantage (POLAR quintile definition, free school meals). The programme includes:
-
Our new building (Talent House) will offer industry standard facilities free of charge or at low cost to local communities and artists/creatives working in Black music culture.
-
UD Education and Engagement projects engage young people, develop skills and outline pathways to careers in music.
-
Our Acceleration projects support emerging talent into sustainable careers. Events showcase talent from/to local communities and signpost careers.
We educate, empower and create life opportunities for young people inspired by the sounds, words and rhythms of Black music culture. With our roots in the vibrant Black music scenes that have emerged from East London, UD combines business acumen with an up-to-the-minute understanding of youth culture and stands at the crossroads where the creativity of emerging Black Music meets the music industry. UD is passionate about excellence, and the potential for excellence in every young person we encounter.
In 2021/22, we worked with fewer beneficiaries than our projected level given reduced delivery due to cancellation of events and school activity following COVID restrictions and the deferment of programmes caused by the building delay.
Education and Engagement
-
We delivered 2 projects in 2 secondary schools in Tower Hamlets in partnership with music education hub THAMES and worked with 43 young people attending Bishops Challoner School and George Green's School and a summer school project and showcase at Spotlight. Planned taster sessions delivered in school assemblies were not possible due to COVID restrictions.
-
Flames Collective. We worked with 24 young people via sustained delivery throughout the year. In-person sessions resumed at Spotlight in June following a period of online delivery. Highlights included collaborations with Jake Bugg (Chris Evans Show and live performance at The One Hundred) and a showcase at Standon Calling Festival. We will trial a songwriting camp with the Flames Collective during the Easter break as part of the Talent House 'soft landing's period.

-
Showcase events continued to be affected by COVID restrictions during the year (The Great Escape did not take place in person). We are planning a regular series of open mics and jams to engage the local community at Talent House and a return to The Great Escpae in 2022/23.
FINANCIAL REVIEW
Reserves policy
The trustees have examined the requirement for free reserves i.e those unrestricted funds not invested in tangible fixed assets, designated for specific purposes or otherwise committed. The trustees consider that, given the nature of the charitable company's work, the level of reserves should be equal to approximately three months of expenditure.
The trustees are actively pursuing sources of funding in order to ensure that there are sufficient reserves to provide to financial stability and flexibility.
Results for the year
The Statement of Financial Activities on page 12 shows net income of £16,326 (2021 - £12,301). At the year end charity had reserves of £31,297 (2021 - £14,971).

STRATEGIC AND FORWARD PLANNING
A 4-year business plan has been developed for 2022/23 - 2025/26 encompassing the new programme at Talent House. The plan sets out a projected model and road map to create THE talent development centre and national youth music organisation for Black music - recognised by the public sector for our social and cultural impact; respected and rewarded by the commercial industry for the value we add. On this basis, we have secured an uplift in Arts Council England National Portfolio Organisation for 3 years from April 2023.
Ambition for excellence
UD is a youth music charity delivering exemplar skills and talent development opportunities for emerging music artists/producers, achieving national cultural significance. Whilst our work is principally focused on London, based in a Levelling Up area, it serves as a blueprint for music education nationally. We make a significant contribution to the Access, Diversity and Representation in the music sector by breaking down barriers for diverse and disadvantaged young people and giving prominence to Black music genres that are overlooked in wider music teaching.
Our development goals:
-
Diversify the music sector through equipping more high-potential young people in London with the necessary skills to access a sustainable career.
-
Develop a model of best practice to be replicated outside London. After consolidation of the Talent House programme and R&D to secure appropriate partners and a sustainable scaling-up model, look to develop regional satellite projects, building on the 2016/19 pilot.
-
Raise our profile to attract new partners and the support of key policymakers to benefit thousands more young people.
-
Develop new audiences for the Talent House from the local community in a Levelling Up Area
-
Improve the join-up between schools/referral partners and develop effective recruitment channels and access for high-potential musicians from challenging circumstances into a pathway of sustained development.
Organisational development
Based on a Theory of Change approach, we will:
Quality & Ambition
Ensure the board and staff team have the skills and tools to drive and monitor quality and ambition through training and support programmes;
Dynamism
Ensure financial sustainability of the organisation, driving a mixed funding model of public, voluntary and commercial support with staff and Board working together to optimise income generation;
Inclusivity & relevance
Ensure governance and staffing continue even further its representation of the communities we serve with the aim of the board being 70% global majority by 31st March 2023;
Environmental responsibility
Deliver a new flagship carbon neutral building and operation in the Talent House.

1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued
Creditors are recognised when there is an obligation at the balance sheet date as a result of a past event, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefit will be required in settlement, and the amount of settlement can be estimated reliably.
Financial instruments
The charity 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 except for bank loans which are subsequently measured at the carrying value plus accrued interest less repayments. The financing charge to expenditure is at a constant rate calculated using the effective interest method.
