## **Additional details of objectives and activities (Optional information)** 

EYSM is constantly seeking further support for participants who cannot afford to pay the full course fee by approaching grant-making trusts and companies. Particular thanks are due to the John Lewis Partnership Trust, Yamaha and to individual private donors who have given significant support to young people. 

You **may choose** to include further statements, where relevant, about: 

- policy on grantmaking; 

- policy programme related investment; 

- contribution made by volunteers. 

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.
