REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022

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 March 2022. 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).

The charity is a public benefit entity.

OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES

Objectives and activities

The charity's purposes as set out in the objects section of the Memorandum and Articles of Association are:

a) To advance the education of the public in jazz music, primarily but not exclusively in the north of England, through programmes of work which enable the performance and teaching of a variety of forms of jazz from across the history of jazz music and by promoting and developing the public's artistic knowledge, understanding and appreciation of such music and of the interaction between jazz and other music forms; and

b) The advancement in life of young jazz musicians (under the age of 25 years) from diverse backgrounds and to relieve the charitable needs of emerging and/or struggling jazz musicians from diverse backgrounds (primarily but not exclusively those based in the north of England and including but not limited to those musicians who wish to team and/or perform different versions of jazz from across the history of jazz music) by offering performance and development opportunities to such musicians and by such other charitable means as the directors in their discretion shall see fit for the public benefit.

Our vision:

Our ultimate aim is to see the north recognised both nationally and internationally as a leading talent hub for jazz.

Our mission:

OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES

Our values

-Artists are at the heart of every project we support

-Openness and transparency

-Celebrating and enhancing the rich ecology of artists, promoters, venues, educational institutions, other organisations and individuals through brokering partnerships and capacity- building

-Encouraging and stimulating creativity amongst both artists and audiences

The objectives of the charity as defined in the business plan are:

SUMMARY OF THE MAIN ACTIVITIES

During 2021-22 Jazz North underwent a fundamental transition. During the year Lesley Jackson - Executive Director left the organisation. An Interim CEO - Tom Northey was appointed from September 2021 - February 2022 to lead the transition and support the board in this time. In November 2021 Chris Bye was appointed. Previously Head of Artist Development at Pirate, Music Strategy consultant, RM Music at Arts Council England, board member for Loud in Libraries, Africa Oye, RR Foundation and SeaChange Festival. In addition in May 2021 6 new trustees were appointed, which increased the diversity of the board. To increase capacity on the senior management team, in February 2022 a Finance & Operations Manager was appointed.

It's an exciting time for Jazz North. We are evolving our structure, our practice, our strategy and our ethos. We are raising the profile of the northern sector on both a national and international level. We will be seeing more of the artists we support securing Momentum funding; more column inches about our live scene; more artists showcasing overseas; more partnerships both in and outside the region; but most importantly, we will see a demonstrable shift in the diversity of artists, audiences, managers and promoters within the northern jazz ecology. - Chris Bye - CEO

How our activities deliver public benefit

The main activities carried out in 2021/22 by Jazz North that gave rise to public benefit were focused on the following areas:

In addition we implemented an Equity Diversity Inclusion and Belonging strategy, and a Digital 360 Strategy.

JAZZ NORTH

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022

Public Benefit

In shaping our objectives for the year and planning our activities, the trustees have considered the Charity Commission's guidance on public benefit, including the guidance on public benefit and fee charging. Jazz North relies on grants and the income from fees and charges to cover its operating costs. In setting the levels of fees and other charges the Board and senior management is committed to ensuring that all activities are made available to those on low incomes through the provision of fair pricing and, where applicable, bursaries but balances this against the necessity to pay the musicians on our scheme a living wage, in line with the Musician Union's guidance 'Fair Pay for Fair Play'.

We have referred to the guidance contained in the Charity Commission's general guidance on public benefit when reviewing our aims and objectives and in planning our future activities. In particular, the trustees consider how planned activities will contribute to the aims and objectives they have set.

Ensuring our work delivers our aims

We actively seek, and monitor, feedback from a variety of sources including external reviews, media mentions and social media communication and this is all fed into our internal evaluation systems. We are also in the process of strengthening and expanding our monitoring agreements with partners to ensure that they incorporate a wider range of information enabling us to evaluate the progress of programmes more effectively.

We have continued to strengthen our reporting procedures using the governance reporting calendar to ensure that the board is able to identify and mitigate risks and has a clear understanding of progress against KPIs. Progress towards objectives is considered at board meetings, an in-depth report on KPI's is produced annually and incorporated into the organisations risk analysis.

The Board reviews the aims, objectives and activities each year as part of the business planning cycle. This review looks at what the charity achieved and the outcomes of its work in the previous 12 months. The review helps the Board to ensure that the charity's aims, objectives and activities remain focused on its stated charitable purposes.

Promoting our work

The charity works to raise its public profile, with a view to supporting fundraising and public awareness of its activities and may from time to time employ PR consultants to assist on specific projects.

A regular e-newsletter and social media communications are produced and managed centrally with additional digital materials relating to specific areas of work.

The charity fosters relationships with key partners including promoters, funders, education organisations and other arts organisations in order to develop new areas of work.

ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE

Charitable activities

COVID continued to have a devastating impact on the music sector during 21/22. The second lockdown was lifted in phases from Apr - July 21. In December 2021 there were further restrictions issued by the government which adversely impacted the Christmas season for the hospitality and entertainment sector.

Equity, Diversity & Inclusion

During 21/22 Jazz North finalised their EDIB strategy and embedded it into business planning for 22/23. We have worked in partnership with Black Lives in Music, becoming a founder member and collaborating on activities such as CEO recruitment, speaker panels and co-hosting events.

During the year 2021/22 the company did the following activities:

Northern Artist Talent Development

Jazz North has continued to support northern artists throughout the pandemic, assisting them with returning to work as venues reopened and performances were permitted. This includes Northern Line Round 7 which will complete with a delayed ending of September 2022. We also recruited for Northern Line Round 8 and were proud to have a diverse selection panel which was representative of the communities and artists we want to reach with our work.

In order to support the promoters to get back to booking shows, we increased our subsidy on Northern Line shows from 50% to 70% during this time. In addition we regularly featured their work and events on our marketing channels such as our newsletter and social media.

We successfully delivered back to live which enabled artists on our roster to rehearse (sometimes for the first time since the pandemic), refresh all their assets and return to live touring.

We continued to support individual artists with grant funding and career advice.

"Huge thanks to Jazz North for their help with my recent Arts Council application. If any of my musician friends in the North of England are currently applying for funding, and need support, I would highly recommend you give Jazz North a shout." - Recipient of grant funding advice from Jazz North

Networks and Sector Development

We continued to do online forums, consultations and drop ins for artists and promoters. We were able to present the programme in partnership with organisations such as Black Lives in Music, Northern Jazz Promoters and Attitude is Everything.

We continued to use these platforms to do research and consultation on sector needs post pandemic. As a result we were able to use our findings to inform the programme for the NPO funding bid.

Children & Young People

During 21/22 we piloted a workforce development programme funded by Northern Jazz Promoters aimed at young people. In March 2022 we delivered the first Jazz Camp for Girls (JCFG) in person post pandemic to over 120 girls and we appointed a freelancer to project manage the work. We also secured funding from the Postcode National Lottery trust to continue our work on JCFG.

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022

PLANS FOR FUTURE PERIODS

The continued impact of the Covid-19 restrictions on live performance and group gatherings continues even though restrictions by the government were completely lifted in early 2022. We will continue to consult with musicians, promoters and educators to help us to understand the impact of the pandemic and the emerging needs of the sector.

In October 2022 Jazz North will find out if it has been successful in its application to be a National Portfolio Organisation from 2023 - 2026. It will continue to undergo a transformation in its business systems to ensure value for money and that best business practices are followed. We have fully embedded our Equity Diversity and Inclusion strategy across all of our activities.

In the interim year we will focus on delivery on the three areas:

Northern Artist Talent Development

We will maintain our commitment to supporting and developing wider opportunities, including engaging more Black, Asian and ethnically diverse musicians in our programmes; expanding the geographical coverage within the North; supporting collaborations; establishing trans-national projects; supporting artists at different stages of their careers; and nurturing a diversity of styles.

Network and Sector Development

Our work in this area has been developed to meet currently identified needs as well as future issues that are identified as the sector reopens and has been informed by our EDIB strategy and action plan. We will consult with our networks in the coming months to explore how we can, collectively, contribute to Arts Council England's Let's Create outcomes.

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022

Children & Young People

Developing our work with children and young people will be a critical element of our Equity, Diversity, Inclusivity and Belonging strategy moving forwards. We are not, at present, resourced to deliver this aim but we have previously raised funds for successful projects including Jazz Camp for Girls, which addresses the gender imbalance in jazz, and Creative Collective. Whilst some developmental activity is deliverable without additional funding, further resources will be needed to address wider issues of diversity and inclusion in the longer term. We will therefore ensure that this is a priority within the fundraising strategy. Our main objectives in the coming year are:

Digital 360

We will embed digital across all strategic objectives and activities by way of:

STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT

Governing document

Jazz North is a company limited by guarantee, incorporated on 13 February 2013. The company was established under a Memorandum of Association which established the objects and powers of the charitable company and is governed under its Articles of Association, as amended by special resolution on 17 March 2016.

The company is a registered charity (registration number 1166241).

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022

STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT

Organisational structure

The governing body for Jazz North is the Board, whose members are non-executive and unpaid. They are directors of the company under the Companies Act and trustees under charity law. The Board of Jazz North gives strategic and policy direction for the Charity. The Charity employs a Chief Executive Officer and operational team to manage all day-to-day operational activities.

Since the new CEO has come into post there has been an increase in capacity with the appointment of the Finance and Operations Manager. Further organisational changes to staffing have happened in early 2022 with the creation of the Head of Learning & Participation role. This role is undertaken by Nigel Slee who is reallocated from his previous role of Creative Director. Jazz North currently employs 3.3 FTE. In addition we also have 0.6 FTE of freelancers delivering core activities.

The full Board held 4 ordinary meetings in the period and an annual general meeting. Trustees and staff also took part in three strategy planning sessions with a team of consultants to define new approaches to strengthen the organisation's approach to equality, diversity and inclusion. Meetings of the Jazz North Board were attended by the Chief Executive and staff team. A representative of the charity's main funder, Arts Council England, attended one meeting as an observer.

Trustee selection methods

The company recognises the importance of recruiting board members who have the appropriate experience and skills to determine strategy, advise on artistic development and maintain financial stability. The board maintains a comprehensive skills profile of its membership and recruitment takes account of identified skills shortages. A review process is conducted on a regular basis to monitor the effectiveness of the board and relevant external training opportunities for trustees are brought to the attention of trustees by the Chief Executive.

Board members are appointed for a three-year term and may serve no more than two consecutive terms. To take account of this rotation of members, the board undertakes succession planning including an annual skills audit to ensure that recruitment is timely, fair and transparent.

When a vacancy occurs, the charity uses a combination of recruitment methods including advertising and personal recommendations from existing board members and senior management staff. Trustee candidates first meet informally with the Executive Director and the Chair of the Board. If both parties wish to proceed, the candidate is invited to observe a board meeting before being recommended to the board for membership. An induction pack and, where appropriate, training is provided for all newly appointed board members.

Induction and training of new trustees

Potential new trustees are invited to attend a trustees' meeting as observer prior to consenting to be put forward for appointment as a trustee. Once appointed, new trustees are provided with an induction pack which includes a copy of the Constitution, an outline of the charity's organisational structure with a description of trustees' roles and responsibilities, background information and internal documents relating to the principal activities of the charity. New trustees are supported during their induction by the Chair and Chief Executive and are paired with an existing trustee for additional support.

BASIS OF PREPARING THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention.

INCOME

All income is recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities once the charity has entitlement to the funds, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably.

EXPENDITURE

Liabilities are recognised as expenditure as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to that expenditure, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all cost related to the category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources.

Irrecoverable VAT is charged as a cost against the activity for which the cost was incurred.

TANGIBLE FIXED ASSETS

Tangible fixed assets with an acquisition cost of less than £500 are written off in full in the year of acquisition.

Tangible fixed assets with an acquisition cost of over £500 are depreciated using a suitable basis over their useful economic lives as follows:--

Office equipment - Over 3 years - straight line basis

TAXATION

The charity is exempt from corporation tax on its charitable activities.

FUND ACCOUNTING

Unrestricted funds can be used in accordance with the charitable objectives at the discretion of the trustees.

Restricted funds 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.

PENSION COSTS

The charitable company operates a workplace pension with NEST. The cost of providing pension benefits is charged to the SOFA on the basis of employer contributions accrued in the period.

DEBTORS

Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount due after any trade discount has been applied.

Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid net of any trade discounts due.

CASH AT BANK AND IN HAND

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

CREDITORS AND PROVISIONS

Creditors and provisions are recognised where the charity has a present obligation as a result of a past event, that will probably result in the transfer of funds to a third party, and the amount can be measured or estimated reliably.

FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The charitable company only has financial assets and 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.
