b) providing an annual series of entertaining, high standard public concerts;
c) providing opportunities for young people to make music through leisure time activities.
N.B.

Financial review
Policy on reserves
MfE holds a policy of 3 months fixed costs (Salaries and various office-based commitments such as photocopier lease etc) as a minimum reserves level, and we have exceeded these levels throughout the year.
Major risks and management of those risks
We face the risk of continued staff and overheads costs whilst it is still unknown when audience and participant levels at our events will return to pre-pandemic levels. We are being cautious in our approach to events as a result to keep costs down wherever possible.
Annual report from Chair of Trustees John Hess, February 05, 2023
Managing change in any organisation can be an invigorating and challenging process … and Music for Everyone is no different in adapting in its 40th anniversary season.
It’s a wonderful occasion to celebrate the dynamic artistic leadership of our founder, Angela Kay. Considering how all this started - with just one weekend course and concert 40 years ago - we can only salute her for the way she has built up Music for Everyone. She has created such an extensive and life-affirming array of music activities, enabling countless people of all ages to discover and take part in choral and orchestral music. Her vision, initiative and drive, musical expertise, career-long commitment, unbelievable energy and sheer joy and love of music have inspired us all.
With Angela stepping back from the day-to-day running of MfE, it’s a significant milestone to map our way to the next exciting opportunities with our recently appointed Director, Donna Fox. Working with the Board of Trustees and sharing our vision, Donna will help shape the strategic direction of MfE. She brings expertise in arts management, leading community organisations, business planning and developing new initiatives, as well as fundraising.

Trustees' Report
After the impact of the pandemic on all creative and voluntary organisations, people are coming back to us, reconnecting with the social buzz and thrill of music making and choral singing. Enrolment in the weekly Daytime and Lunchtime Voices is encouraging, and we’ve opened a new Daytime group in Hucknall. The Bandwise and Stringwise youth groups also report healthy numbers.
But financially and for MfE’s budget, Covid has a long tail, and the understandable reticence of many people last year to mix fully in group singing had its impact on ticket sales and participation. At a time when the cost of living is rising, all this has affected MfE’s finances. We ended our financial year making a loss of £32,858, which, on this occasion, we were able to support from our reserves.
It’s not an ideal situation and one which we are taking every prudent step to avoid repeating this season.
Donna’s appointment as MfE Director will be key to tapping more grants, sponsorship and cash support to maintain both MfE’s programme and its spirit. Writing more applications, spotting partnership deals and nursing those contacts with funders isn’t a quick fix, but I am confident of progress in 2023.
Our members of course play a huge part in sustaining the work of MfE and, on behalf of the Board, I thank you very much for your continuing support and participation, and for your generous donations of time and money. The Trustees, Donna and our excellent office team maintain a constant monitoring of ongoing costs to protect our financial stability and the music programmes you love.
As in past annual reports, I must highlight the sterling work of the Bookwise volunteers and their chair, Andrew James. Bookwise and the sales from its three Nottinghamshire-based charity bookshops helped underpin MfE finances last year with cash donations and in-kind support equivalent to £57,561. I cannot emphasise enough the importance of that regular contribution to our balance sheet.
I also want to record my warmest thanks to our regular MfE volunteers and your MfE Trustees - Angela Smallwood, Richard Flewitt, Rachel Emmett, Matt Lax and Janet Wootton. Often behind the scenes, they’ve helped to guide MfE through the pandemic challenges and chart our future direction. Angela and Matt will be serving one more year before standing down, and MfE will be on the search for new Trustees. If you’re interested and want to know more, let me know.
This is also an opportunity for me to thank on your behalf two MfE stalwarts, who‘ve decided to move on. Jen Adams, a volunteer in a million, ran our extensive music storage depot in Lenton for eight years, and our Senior Co-ordinator. Robin Reece-Crawford, decided to leave the staff after many years, but I’m delighted to note he’ll remain a vocal presence with the basses and as a concert compère.
Finally, back to our founder Angela Kay MBE. In July, MfE will celebrate Angela’s enormous achievements with a gala concert at Nottingham’s Albert Hall. It’ll be the high point of our 40th anniversary year. Watch out for further details. You won’t want to miss it.

Statement of Trustees' Responsibilities
The trustees are responsible for preparing the trustees' report and the financial statements in accordance with the United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice) and applicable law and regulations.
The law applicable to charities requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and of the incoming resources and application of resources of the charity for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the trustees are required to:
-
select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
-
observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP;
-
make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
-
state whether applicable accounting standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; and
-
prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in business.
The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011, the applicable Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations, and the provisions of the constitution. The trustees are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

Independent Examiner's Report to the trustees of Music for Everyone
Independent examiner’s report to the trustees of Music for Everyone
I report to the trustees on my examination of the accounts of Music for Everyone (the Charity) for the year ended 31 August 2022.
Responsibilities and basis of report
As the trustees of the charity you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 ('the Act').
I report in respect of my examination of the Charity’s accounts carried out under section 145 of the 2011 Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed all the applicable directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act.
Independent examiner’s statement
I have completed my examination. I confirm that no matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect:
-
accounting records were not kept in respect of the Charity as required by section 130 of the Act; or
-
the accounts do not accord with those records; or
-
the accounts do not comply with the accounting requirements concerning the form and content of accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 other than any requirement that the accounts give a ‘true and fair' view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination.
I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 August 2022
1 Accounting policies
Statement of compliance
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the second edition of the Charities Statement of Recommended Practice issued in October 2019, the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Charities Act 2011.
Basis of preparation
Music for Everyone meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102. Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy notes.
Exemption from preparing a cash flow statement
The charity opted to adopt Bulletin 1 published on 2 February 2016 and have therefore not included a cash flow statement in these financial statements.
Going concern
The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis.
The trustees assess whether the use of going concern is appropriate i.e. whether there are any material uncertainties related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the ability of the charity to continue as a going concern. The trustees make this assessment in respect of a period of one year from the date of approval of the financial statements.
Income and endowments
Voluntary income including donations, gifts, legacies and grants that provide core funding or are of a general nature is recognised when the charity has entitlement to the income, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured with sufficient reliability.
Donations and legacies
Donations and legacies are recognised on a receivable basis when receipt is probable and the amount can be reliably measured.
Grants receivable
Grants are recognised when the charity has an entitlement to the funds and any conditions linked to the grants have been met. Where performance conditions are attached to the grant and are yet to be met, the income is recognised as a liability and included on the balance sheet as deferred income to be released.
Deferred income
Deferred income represents amounts received for future periods and is released to incoming resources in the period for which, it has been received. Such income is only deferred when:
- The donor specifies that the grant or donation must only be used in future accounting periods; or - The donor has imposed conditions which must be met before the charity has unconditional entitlement.
Page 11
Music for Everyone
Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 August 2022
Expenditure
All expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to that expenditure, it is probable settlement is required and the amount can be measured reliably. All costs are allocated to the applicable expenditure heading that aggregates similar costs to that category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated on a basis consistent with the use of resources, with central staff costs allocated on the basis of time spent, and depreciation charges allocated on the portion of the asset’s use. Other support costs are allocated based on the spread of staff costs.
Charitable activities
Charitable expenditure comprises those costs incurred by the charity in the delivery of its activities and services for its beneficiaries. It includes both costs that can be allocated directly to such activities and those costs of an indirect nature necessary to support them.
Government grants
Government grants are recognised based on the accrual model and are measured at the fair value of the asset received or receivable. Grants are classified as relating either to revenue or to assets. Grants relating to revenue are recognised in income over the period in which the related costs are recognised. Grants relating to assets are recognised over the expected useful life of the asset. Where part of a grant relating to an asset is deferred, it is recognised as deferred income.
Taxation
The charity is considered to pass the tests set out in Paragraph 1 Schedule 6 of the Finance Act 2010 and therefore it meets the definition of a charitable company for UK corporation tax purposes. Accordingly, the charity is potentially exempt from taxation in respect of income or capital gains received within categories covered by Chapter 3 Part 11 of the Corporation Tax Act 2010 or Section 256 of the Taxation of Chargeable Gains Act 1992, to the extent that such income or gains are applied exclusively to charitable purposes.
Tangible fixed assets
Individual fixed assets costing £500.00 or more are initially recorded at cost, less any subsequent accumulated depreciation and subsequent accumulated impairment losses.
Instruments are initially measured at cost and subsequently measured at insurance value.
Depreciation and amortisation
Depreciation is provided on tangible fixed assets so as to write off the cost or valuation, less any estimated residual value, over their expected useful economic life as follows:
Asset class Depreciation method and rate General equipment 25% reducing balance basis
Impairment of fixed assets
At each reporting end date, the charity reviews the carrying amounts of its tangible assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss (if any) .
Page 12
Music for Everyone
Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 August 2022
Trade debtors
Trade debtors are amounts due from customers for merchandise sold or services performed in the ordinary course of business.
Trade debtors are recognised initially at the transaction price. They are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less provision for impairment. A provision for the impairment of debtors is established when there is objective evidence that the charity will not be able to collect all amounts due according to the original terms of the receivables.
Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand and call deposits, and other short-term highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to a known amount of cash and are subject to an insignificant risk of change in value.
Fund structure
Unrestricted income funds are general funds that are available for use at the trustees' discretion in furtherance of the objectives of the charity.
Restricted income funds are those donated for use in a particular area or for specific purposes, the use of which is restricted to that area or purpose.
Pensions and other post retirement obligations
The charity operates a defined contribution pension scheme which is a pension plan under which fixed contributions are paid into a pension fund and the charity has no legal or constructive obligation to pay further contributions even if the fund does not hold sufficient assets to pay all employees the benefits relating to employee service in the current and prior periods.
Contributions to defined contribution plans are recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities when they are due. If contribution payments exceed the contribution due for service, the excess is recognised as a prepayment.

Trustees agreed transfers between the Health & Wellbeing and Youth Development fund and the General fund to support related elements of the programme that are now being regularly delivered. The remaining balance on both the Health & Wellbeing and Youth Development Fund as at 31st August 2022 is zero.
The specific purposes for which the funds are to be applied are as follows:
Youth Development fund - an initiative to support our youth groups, courses and concerts. Health & Wellbeing fund - partnership projects to improve people's health and wellbeing through participating in music.
Instruments - this fund represents the net book value of the fixed assets (Instruments).
Paul Redfearn Instrument fund - a fund to support the loan of musical instruments to pupils in the City/County. Inspire - funding to deliver music projects in Nottinghamshire. £8,400 was used in 21/22 to support 1.5 days/week led by our Assistant Artistic Director, Rachel Parkes. The balance of £5,561 is carried forward to 22/23.
