Annual Report 2023-24

Prepared for the JCC Annual General Meeting 17[th] November 2024

Overview

The Trustees have been in communication and have met, both as a whole group and also as a sub-group to manage the progress of JazzWorx – see below.

Donations and Support

1. Sputnik Arts

We sent an agreed gift from Jazz Community Church to support the Faith in the Arts podcast run by Sputnik Arts. An acknowledgment and a grateful response were received. Here’s a link to their work: https://open.spotify.com/episode/773jXOuPr6CAXmSMdzw7R5?si=3a94a3d31989497a

Chair of Trustees’ travel costs to enabling input at the European Songwriting Conferences in 2023 and 2024.
Cambridge Road Methodist Church – WiFi costs continue to be paid in lieu of charges for storage.

Break-in and theft of JCC resources from our storage

Shortly after the AGM last year, in the late summer, the premises we were storing our equipment in was broken into and numerous items were taken. An insurance claim and a police investigation followed. We have received the settlement from the insurance, and this money is in the bank, but we have yet to replace the missed items. As chair of Trustees, Paul made an official Police Statement and we understand that criminal charges have been made.

JazzWorx The website is now live. https://jazzchurch.org.uk/

Big Band Christmas charts and associated resources are now publicly available. Thanks to various people who have made this possible.

JazzPilgrims Further meetings have ceased for the time-being.

JazzChurch The Wednesday evening small group continues to meet weekly during term time either online or in person as availability allows.

Live Events A fundraising evening was supported by JCC in July, which was very well received and there is another planned for November 2024

Equipment and Resource Loan Various items of equipment have been loaned without charge to organisations and individuals to support work in line with our charitable aims

Future Plans

The trustees of JCC propose to plan the following activity for the coming year, to continue to:

be led by our charitable aims
consider the requirements and viability of changes to our name/constitution
store equipment and resources at our Birmingham base (in Kings Heath), and still have the option to gather and utilise the building if not being used for another event
to contribute a small amount towards the cost of running the facility
continue to support the development of the online resource, JazzWorx
continue to support the midweek small group as needed
offer practical resource and/or financial support to organisations and individuals aligned with our charitable aims
develop further opportunities for live events that support our charitable aims, as resource allows

We would also like to formally acknowledge the cessation of the organisation as a church fellowship, and that at some point in the coming year, we would like to hold an event to mark this.

Financial Report

This is on a separate document, and there will be an opportunity to discuss and raise questions on this at the AGM.

Trustees

The AGM is an opportunity for new Trustees to be nominated and appointed by its membership, and (in line with our constitution) 1/3[rd] of Trustees must always be changed or re-nominated at the AGM.
