| The EYSM mission is to offer the best possible opportunities to young people to participate in an orchestral and vocal summer course which enables them to undertake new musical experiences. In doing so, EYSM adheres to the following principles: SafetyAll activities take place in an environment of respect and safety for all participants with regard to current legislation and taking a lead from best practice in education. InclusivityThe chance to take part is offered to any young person between the ages of 11 and 21 (or 8 and 12 for Juniors) who has the talent to take part in the work, without any auditioning process. Where economic background means the course fee is unaffordable, EYSM endeavours to find sponsorship to support young people to attend. ExcellenceEYSM supports the highest possible standards and seeks always to enable participants to experience both artistic and personal growth. RangeEYSM seeks to explore a variety of musical works across a range of genres that extend the repertoire of performers. Enjoyment and fulfilmentEYSM provides an holistic experience encompassing a wide range of musical experience in playing, singing and listening. Ancillary activities are structured around music and sport and they all support team work. In carrying out its mission, EYSM keeps in mind Charity Commission guidance on public benefit and ensures that its activities retain the focus of its aims and objectives. EYSM draws on musicians at the height of their profession who work at reduced rates in order to support the participation of young people with talent. EYSM also seeks bursary assistance for young people where needed, with the aim of ensuring that no young person is disadvantaged due topersonal circumstances. |

EYSM is extremely grateful to the volunteers who organise and run the course from their homes throughout the year, providing guidance for potential applicants, receiving applications, sending and receiving-in essential information from boarders and day students, researching and ordering sheet music and instruments, keeping a full financial record of all income and expenditure, allocating bursary funds to young people and, of course, attending meetings to discuss plans and progress.
EYSM is also grateful to those who set aside their time to help during the EYSM week, receiving only expenses.
All of this enables EYSM to spend its revenue on supporting the young people for whose benefit the charity was formed.

Achievements and performance
Section D
Summary of the main achievements of the charity during the year
EYSM was unable to run a live performance in 2020 due to the Covid Epidemic. Instead, EYSM provided a week of online activities for students from the UK and overseas and also presented selections of past performances online.
During this time, EYSM attracted attention through its internet presence which increased its online presence.
Costs involved in creating the online activity were met by sponsors in order to support the charity remaining in the public eye.
Conductors and tutors gave their time to online workshops, incurring no artistic cost.
In terms of the continuing revisions of risk assessment work, EYSM’s Core Team of volunteer organisers met to ensure online safety was reviewed and set in place.
