Report of the Trustees For The Year Ended 31 August 2021
The trustees who are also directors of the charity for the purposes of the Companies Act 2006, present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 August 2021. The trustees have adopted the provisions of 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) (effective 1 January 2019).
OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES
Objectives and aims
The objective of the charity is to promote, maintain, improve and advance education by encouraging and fostering the understanding , knowledge, appreciation and development of Jazz and its associated forms of music.
Public benefit
The trustees have had regard to the guidance issued by the Charity Commission in relation to Public Benefit in determining the actions and objectives of the Charity. The trustees also confirm that they have complied with the duty in Section 4 of the Charities Act 2011.
DYJA has continued to work closely with local schools directly, and as a member of the Doncaster Music Education Hub.
The trustees feel it is clear from the Charity's objectives and aims, the targets set for the Charity and its performance against those targets that DYJA brings substantial public benefit.
Volunteers
Volunteers provide valuable assistance particularly in setting up equipment for concerts and providing a chaperone service for students.
STRATEGIC REPORT
Achievement and performance
Charitable activities
The activities of the Charity continued to be severely impacted upon by the continuing Covid Pandemic. Staff and volunteers took the opportunity to use the lockdown time to undertake building repair works and major improvements such as a new CCTV security system; steps were taken to ensure that the facilities would be compliant with emerging rules to protect against the spread of Covid, such as separation screens to enforce social distancing requirements for players (when they were able to return). All of these investments will have lasting relevance irrespective of their value as defence mechanisms against infections.
Some elements of rehearsal were achieved by Zoom which at least fostered some of the fellowship lost by our young musicians. Plans for an inward visit from the EKS Band from Herten in Germany had to be abandoned, as did the launch of Britain's first Youth Jazz Festival (for which Arts Council funding support had been obtained); both of these are now scheduled for 2023!
Financial review
Financial position
Incoming resources totalled £29,556. This included grants which facilitated developing plans for the introduction to jazz of new young players using P-Bones in four junior schools; this scheme is expected to expand to using P-Trumpets soon.
The charity has closing total reserves of £322,199 as at 31 August 2021.
Principal funding sources
The principal fundraising activities in the year have been donations and the use of facilities by others, including examination bodies.
Reserves policy
Reserves are needed to bridge the gap between the spending and receiving of income and provide some level of financial stability. An ideal level of unrestricted reserves as at 31st August 2021 would be equal to the value of the fixed assets included in the accounts as at that date, and one year's operating costs excluding depreciation. Based on 31 August 2021 accounts this would amount to £315,234
The charity's unrestricted reserves currently exceed this amount.

STRATEGIC REPORT Financial review
Going concern
The trustees recognise that there needs to be concentrated attention given to securing external funding support in the longer term. With expected increases in operating costs beyond the control of the trustees, and the unavailability of major changes to existing funding sources, new funding resources need to be secured if the charity's work is to continue.
The trustees are of the view that the charity is a going concern.
Principal risks and uncertainties
The principal risk facing the charity is the obtaining of adequate long term funding and developing and maintaining a pathway for new musicians to develop their skills.
The trustees review the cash flow projections at their regular meetings to ensure adequate resources are available.
The charity works closely with schools and other parties to promote the playing of musical instruments.
Financial and risk management objectives and policies
The trustees have a risk management strategy which comprises:
-
an annual review of the principal risks and uncertainties that the charity face:
-
the establishment of policies , systems and procedures to mitigate those risks identified in the annual review
-
the implementation of procedures designed to minimise or manage any potential impact on the charity should those risks materialise.
This work has identified the long term financial sustainability is the major financial risk for the charity. A key element of the Risk Management is a review of budgets and forecasts.
Non -financial risks arising from fire, health and safety of those performing and attending at concerts, are managed by ensuring accreditation is up to date, having robust policies and procedures in place and ensuring those staff and volunteers engaged in these operational areas are fully aware of their responsibilities.
All chaperones, music staff, trustees and other personnel of the charity, who have access to children, are required to undergo Disclosure and Barring Checks (DBS) as required. In addition the charity is aware of its responsibilities under the Children & Young Persons Act 1963 and Children (Performances) Regulations 2014. In this respect particular regard is taken as to the potential restriction on the availability for concert performances of younger band members.
Future plans
Specific plans include:
-
to rearrange events cancelled in this year due to the pandemic.
-
to provide taster lessons as envisaged by the partnership with the Coop (the project with P-Bones (and then P-Trumpets) will meet this commitment in due course).
-
to implement a fee abatement scheme using the scholarship fund already established.
