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 2. Chair of Trustees’ travel costs to enabling input at the European Songwriting Conferences in 2023 and 2024. 3. 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. **Jazz Community Church** **1166779** **CC16a** ## **Receipts and payments accounts** **For the period** 06/04/2023 05/04/2024 **To from** ## **Section A Receipts and payments** **Unrestricted Endowment Restricted funds Total funds Last year funds funds to the nearest £ to the nearest £ to the nearest £ to the nearest £ to the nearest £ A1 Receipts** Donations (Gift Aid) **384 - - 384 -** Gift Aid Repayment **2,060 - - 2,060 -** Insurance pay-out for stolen equipment **4,288 - - 4,288 -** Interest Earned **34 - - 34 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -** _**Sub total** (Gross income for AR)_ **6,766 - - 6,766 -** ~~==55===~~ **A2 Asset and investment sales, (see table). - - - - - - - - -** _**Sub total**_ **-** _**Total receipts**_ **6,766 - - 6,766 -** ~~=SSS5=~~ **A3 Payments** Accounting/Legal/Bank Fees **1,020 - - 1,020 -** Advertising/Promotional **215 - - 215 -** Charitable Gifts **872 - - 872 -** Trustee's Expenses **358 - - 358 -** Gatherings- Venue Hire **360 - - 360 -** Insurances **476 - - 476 -** Website Design & Development **3,000 - - 3,000 - - - - - - - - - - -** _**Sub total**_ **6,301 - - 6,301 -** ~~22S~~ **A4 Asset and investment purchases, (see table) - - - - - - - -** _**Sub total**_ **-** _**Total payments**_ **6,301 - - 6,301 -** ~~=SSSe=~~ _**Net of receipts/(payments)**_ **465 - - 465 - A5 Transfers between funds - - - - - A6 Cash funds last year end 17,041 - - 17,041 -** _**Cash funds this year end**_ **17,506 - - 17,506 - Section B Statement of assets and liabilities at the end of the period** ~~=—>>—>~~ **Unrestricted Restricted funds Endowment Categories Details funds funds to nearest £ to nearest £ to nearest £ B1 Cash funds** CAF Bank CafCash Account **17,506 - - - - - - - -** _**Total cash funds**_ **17,506 - -** ~~====~~ CCXX R1 accounts (SS) (agree balances with receipts and payments account(s))1 OK OK 22/01/2025OK |Signed by one or two trustees on
