## **Trustees' Report** 

The trustees present their report and the financial statements for the 454 day period (15 months) ended 31 March 2023. 

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out in note 1 to the accounts and comply with the charity's trust deed, the Charities Act 2011 and 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). 

The legal and administrative information set out on page 1 forms part of this report. 

## **Objectives and Activities** 

The objective of the charity, as set out in the constitution, is to advance the education of the public in the subject of orchestral music, particular but not exclusively, by advancing and developing public access to, and appreciation of, orchestral music. 

We developed our business plan during this period, with our vision being 'a world where orchestral music values and can involve absolutely anyone', and our mission as follows: 

- To find inclusive, creative ways to make powerful orchestral music; To give opportunities to those who don't already have them; To empower everyone we involve to be creative and be heard; To inspire change in the rest of the orchestral world. 

In shaping our objectives for the period and planning our activity, the trustees considered the Charity Commission's guidance on public benefit, including the guidance 'public benefit, running a charity PB2' 

## **Key activity** 

This has been a hugely successful and busy period, with a range of projects and performances, all of which included large groups of local young people trained to create and perform alongside our professional orchestral musicians. We have found that these methods of working, especially those where the music is actively created by everyone involved in the project rather than pre-existing, leads to greater impact on those involved and results in the highest quality music. The projects carried out in the period included: 

- Creation and performance of 'The Volcano', a new work depicting the life cycle of a volcano with percussion instruments, led by Fran Lobo, Elsa Bradley, Joe Richards, and Delia Stevens, performed at Bold Tendencies car park in Peckham and at the Southbank Centre in London; 

- Our 'Big Summer Concert', with music by Barbara Strozzi and Vivaldi, conducted by Moustapha Doumbia and featuring soloist Francesca Chijiena; 

- Creation and performance of a developed version of The Endz, with a new script written by Abi Falase, featuring soloists Moustapha Doumbia, Dupri McKoy, Flame Rhoden, Christina Brown Onabanjo and Toni Olabanji;

## **Multi-Story Music** 

## **Trustees' Report** 

- Creation and performance of Awake! with interactive introduction performances included, both at our home Bold Tendencies in Peckham, at the Queen Elizabeth Hall in the Southbank Centre; 

- Creation and performance in partnership with GL4 on Matson Estate in Gloucester of Tomorrow Is Another Day with young people from Beats programme, led by Fran Lobo and Jon French; 

- Performance of Julis Eastman's Stay On It both in Exeter with Cygnet Theatre and in Portsmouth as part of PortsFest, led by Yusuf Narcin, Fra Rustumji, and Corentin Chassard, with young people from local schools. 

## **Summary of main achievements in the period** 

- Carrying out a dynamic and varied concert series both at our home Bold Tendencies in Peckham, at the Queen Elizabeth Hall in the Southbank Centre, and in other locations around the country, reaching hundreds of young people and musicians and providing significant opportunities in areas of greater need; 

- Launching of our Young Creatives scheme, which now enables our young people aged 16-19 to meet weekly and benefit from significant creative and development opportunities; 

_- Securing significant national press coverage, including being featured on ITV News, in The Telegraph and in The Times for The Endz;_ 

- Securing Arts Council National Portfolio Funding, which transforms our financial stability over the next 3 years; 

- Expanding our staffing team to reflect the growing scale of our work, with the new programme team including a full time Youth Coordinator as our work with young people expands significantly. 

## **Reserves Policy** 

The trustees understand the need to build up sufficient reserves to provide a degree of financial security for the orchestra's ongoing operations. Trustees consider that a prudent level of unrestricted charitable reserves should cover unavoidable operating costs of the charity for three to six months, which equates to between £58,000-£116,000. 

On 31 March 2023, the total amount of unrestricted funds was £150,054, with designated funds of £77,494 and general funds of £72,560.  The restricted funds balance at the year-end was £137,378. 

## **Financial Review** 

During the 15 month period ended 31 March 2023, Multi-Story Music received grant income of £296,900 (2021: £69,504), performance income of £71,028 (2021: £25,404), voluntary income of £67,616 (2021: £59,232) and orchestra tax relief of £56,578 (2021: £16,987) totalling  £492,122   (2021: £171,127). 

During the 15 month period ended 31 March 2023, total expenditure was £349,856 (2021: £230,792)

## **Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of Multi-Story Music** 

I report on the accounts of the charity for the period ended 31 March 2023, which are set out on pages 5 to 18. 

## **Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner** 

The charity's trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The charity's trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144(2) of the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act) and that an independent examination is needed. 

The charity's gross income exceeded £250,000 and I am qualified to undertake the examination by being a qualified member of The Association of Chartered Certified Accountants. 

Having satisfied myself that the charity is not subject to an audit under charity law and is eligible for independent examination, it is my responsibility to: 

- ꞏ examine the accounts under section 145 of the 2011 Act; 

- ꞏ follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity Commission (under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act; and 

- ꞏ state whether particular matters have come to my attention. 

## **Basis of independent examiner's report** 

My examination was carried out in accordance with the general Directions given by the Charity Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records.  It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from you as trustees concerning any such matters.  The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a "true and fair view" and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below. 

## **Independent examiner's statement** 

In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention: 

1. which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in, any material respect, the requirements: 

   - ꞏ to keep accounting records in accordance with section 130 of the 2011 Act; and 

   - ꞏ to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the 2011 Act have not been met; or 

2. to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

## **Multi-Story Music** 

## **Notes to the Financial Statements for the 454 day period (15 months) ended 31 March 2023** 

## **1. Accounting policies** 

## **1.1. Basis of preparing the financial statements** 

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard (issued October 2019) applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019) - (Charities SORP (FRS 102)). 

The charity 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 note(s). 

## **1.2. Income** 

All incoming resources are included in the Statement of Financial Activities when: 

- the charity is legally entitled to the funds 

- any performance conditions attached to the income have been met or are fully within the control of the charity 

- there is sufficient certainty that receipt of the income is considered probable 

- the amount can be reliably measured 

## **- Donations and legacies** 

Grants/donations are recognised in incoming resources in the 454 day period (15 months) in which they are receivable, except as follows: 

- when donors specify that grants/donations given to the charity must be used in future accounting periods, the income is deferred until those periods 

- when donors impose conditions which have to be fulfilled before the charity becomes entitled to use such income, the income is deferred and not included in incoming resources until the preconditions for use are met. 

## **- Charitable activities** 

Concert income - ticket sales from concerts and sundry other performance income is included in incoming resources in the period in which the relevant activity takes place. 

Project specific funding - when donors specify that donations and grants are for particular restricted purposes, which do not amount to pre-conditions regarding entitlement, this income is included in incoming resources of restricted funds when receivable. 

## **- Investment income** 

Interest on funds held on deposit is included when receivable and the amount can be measured reliably by the charity; this is normally upon notification of the interest paid or payable by the Bank.

## **Notes to the Financial Statements for the 454 day period (15 months) ended 31 March 2023** 

## **1.3. Expenditure** 

All expenditure is included on an accruals basis inclusive of any VAT which cannot be recovered and is recognised when: 

- there is a legal or constructive obligation to make a payment 

- it is probable that settlement will be required 

- the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably 

## **- Costs of raising funds** 

Costs incurred in attracting donations, and those incurred in trading activities that raise funds. 

## **- Charitable activities** 

Concert costs - costs incurred in the staging of performances during the 454 day period (15 months).

## **- Governance costs** 

Costs associated with the constitutional and statutory requirements of the charity. 

## **1.4. Fund accounting** 

Funds held by the charity are: 

- Unrestricted general funds - these are funds which can be used in accordance with the charitable objects at the discretion of the trustees. 

- Designated funds - these are funds set aside by the trustees out of unrestricted general funds for specific future purposes or projects. 

- Restricted funds - these are funds that can only be used for particular restricted purposes within the objects of the charity. Restrictions arise when specified by the donor or when funds are raised for particular restricted purposes. 

Further explanation of the nature and purpose of each fund is included in the notes to the financial statements. 

## **1.5. Tangible fixed assets and depreciation** 

Individual fixed assets costing £500 or more are capitalised at cost. 

Depreciation is provided at annual rates calculated to write off the cost less residual value of each asset over its expected useful life, as follows: 

Fixtures/fittings/equipment

## **Notes to the Financial Statements** 

## **for the 454 day period (15 months) ended 31 March 2023** 

## **1.7. Cash at bank and in hand** 

Cash at bank and in hand includes cash and short term highly liquid investments with a short maturity of three months or less from the date of acquisition or opening of the deposit or similar account. 

## **1.8. Creditors and provisions** 

Creditors and provisions are recognised where the charity has a present obligation resulting from a past event that will probably result in the transfer of funds to a third party and the amount due to settle the obligation can be measured or estimated reliably. Creditors and provisions are normally recognised at their settlement amount after allowing for any trade discounts due. 

## **1.9. 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. 

## **1.10. Significant Accounting Estimates and Judgements** 

In determining the carrying amounts of certain assets and liabilities, the charity makes assumptions of the effects of uncertain future events on those assets and liabilities at the balance sheet date. The charity's estimates and assumptions are based on historical experience and expectation of future events and are reviewed annually.
