## **Achievements and Performance**
Following a challenging period for the charity brought about by the pandemic and the disassociation with the trading company (MuzoAkademy Limited), the charity has made some significant changes to its operations, though not its purpose.
The charity will no longer derive funds from membership or the activities of a trading company. All monies will be acquired through grant applications and fund raising.
The services of the charity will be free.
The charity will establish projects and pay qualified individuals or organisations to facilitate them.
The charity continues with its aim to advance the art of music and the arts by extending provision of (predominantly, but not exclusively) musical activities to all and any age groups that would benefit. We believe in music for all, but make special effort to engage those who are underprivileged, excluded or vulnerable.
The charity also remains committed to providing spaces for people to meet, learn, create and perform and support this work through the Save the Rock Barn fund.
After a review of the challenges experienced for public performances and face to face teaching during the pandemic, the charity has adjusted its goal of opening a physical community arts venue in Witney town centre. Instead, grants are being provided to give access to existing spaces for freelance tutors and learners; to provide digital recording and streaming technology to allow artists to share their performances regardless of any need for social distancing or unforeseen disruptions; and to support community venues, fayres, fetes and festivals to put on live music events.
Furthermore, the charity has successfully piloted a music engagement curriculum, Superstar People, and is actively seeking grant funding to extend this provision.
The charity is confident it can continue to make a positive contribution to the West Oxfordshire community for the foreseeable future.
## **Financial Review**
The total income for the year was £615 and total expenditure on charitable activities amounted to £17,951.
## **Reserves Policy**
The trustees have examined the charity’s requirements for reserves taking account of the main risks to the organisation. It has established a policy whereby the unrestricted funds not committed or invested in tangible fixed assets held by the charity should be 4-5 months of expenditure. The trustees consider that this should be in the region of £5,000 in general funds. The reserves are needed to meet the working capital requirement of the charity and the trustees are confident that at this level they would be able to continue the current activities of the charity in the event of a significant drop in funding. Unrestricted funds stand at £14,392 which is above the required level.

## **INDEPENDENT EXAMINER’S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES**
I report to the trustees on my examination of the accounts of The 7 C’s Foundation for the year ended 30th June 2021.
## **Responsibilities and Basis of Report**
As the charity’s trustees 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 material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect:
1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the charity as required by section 130 of the Act; or
2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or
3. the accounts do not comply with the applicable 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 ACCOUNTS
**for the year ended 30 June 2021**
## 1. **Accounting Policies**
The principal accounting policies adopted, judgments and key sources of estimation uncertainty in the preparation of the financial statements are as follows:
## a) **Basis of Preparation**
The financial statements have been prepared to give a ‘true and fair’ view and have departed from the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 only to the extent required to provide a true and fair view. This departure has involved following Accounting and Reporting by charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) issued in October 2019 rather than the Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice effective from 1st April 2005 which has since been withdrawn.
- b) **Public Benefit Entity**
The 7 C’s Foundation meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS102.
- c) **Going Concern**
The Trustees consider that there are no material uncertainties about the Charity’s ability to continue as a going concern.
## d) **Income Recognition Policies**
Items of income are recognised and included in the accounts when all of the following criteria are met:
- The charity has entitlement to the funds;
- any performance conditions attached to the items of 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; and
- the amount can be measured reliably.
Income received in advance of a specific performance or provision of other specified service is deferred until the criteria for income recognition are met.
## **Interest Receivable**
- e) **Interest Receivable** 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.
- f) **Fund Accounting**
- Unrestricted funds are available to spend on activities that further any of the purposes of the Charity. Designated funds are unrestricted funds of the Charity which the trustees have decided at their discretion to set aside to use for a specific purpose. Restricted funds are donations which the donor has specified are to be solely used for the particular areas of the Charity’s work or for specific projects being undertaken by the Charity.
- g) **Expenditure and Irrecoverable VAT** Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to make a payment to a third party, it is probable that settlement will be required and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably.
Irrecoverable VAT is charged as a cost against the activity for which the expenditure was incurred.

## NOTES TO THE ACCOUNTS
**for the year ended 30 June 2021** (continued)
## h) **Tangible Fixed Assets**
Individual fixed assets are recorded at cost and are depreciated over their estimated useful economic lives on the straight line basis as follows:
**Asset Annual Category Rate** Equipment 15% straight line Computer equipment 25% straight line
- i) **Cash at Bank and in Hand**
Cash at bank and cash 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.
## j) **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.
## 2. **Legal Status of the Charity**
The 7 C’s Foundation is a Charitable Incorporated Organisation which registered with The Charity Commission on 3 October 2014 under number 1158771.

As noted in the Trustees Report, the charity has now disassociated from the trading subsidiary company which is in the process of being struck off. The value of shares held has therefore been impaired.
