ANNUAL REPORT 2024125
As the Founder, Chief Executive Member and Project Coordinator of PerfO￿nIng
Room, l am proud to introduce this report [1] presenting a current overview of our
operations, [2] detailing, in particular, the highlights and performance data for 2024125
(another extraordinary and transformative year of achievement and growth for our
Charity which has continued its remarkable progress in enabling its expanding client
base massively to improve their lives and life skills through their creative participation
in music, heritsge and the arts and to engage the wider community in the outputs and
outcomes of its work) and [3] setting out some of our strategic issues and business
planning objectives for our continued development in the current year 2025126 and
beyond.
'At the end of 2024125, the latest dats from the Office for National Statistics (ONS)
eVIn￿S a significant rise in the number of young people and adults out of work due to
mental health challenges. The stsrk and alarming scale of this growing crisis
demonstrates an urgent need for action. It provides compelling evidence that will
underpin our funding applications to support the pressing need for the rapid expansion
of the Performing Room's work and the realisation of its vision to transport individuals
on a personal creative journey of self-discovery using the inherent power of creative
arts and music to renew minds and transform lives. At the heart of this vision is
commitment to open up creative pathways that lead to future education, training, and
employment opportunities. By fostering confidence, nurturing talents, and building
transferable skills, we can empower individuals not only to express themselves
creatively but also to develop the resilience and capability needed to thrive in their
future lives and work environments.
Completing the renovation of our building will massively increase our capacity and
provide sustaining income generating opportunities, firmly establishing our presen
as a durable and vital community hub - a space where creativity meets opportunity
and where personal growth and social transformation become possible with wide
ranging outcome impacts
strengthening our local community and economy,
improving the well-being and resilience of individuals and their families and
communities for generations to come, and broadening the public understsnding and
perception of mentsl health issues and young people for good"

Children and young peoplo (CYP), and adults with complex mental health
conditions and those struggling to fit in with mainstream education.
Based on Membership data since 2017 ('Members' being our registered participants,
primarily referrals from our network partner organisations), we estimate that 650k of
our client Members are CYP aged &25 - our main target clientele - experiencing
autistic spectrum disorders, schizophrenia, leaming disabilities, ADHD, OCD, PTSD,
domestic abuse, anxiety and eating disorders, speechlreading andlor hearing

impairments, depression and social isolation; the other 35 % are adults aged 2540
(20 % ) and adults over 40 (150h) with these same conditions.
We take referrals and particularly target CYP who are 'Not in Education, Employment
or Training, (NEET), living in care or with parents dealing with substance-abuse,
electively home-schooled, identified as having intellectual disabilities (SEND) and
being physically challenged, and those from low-income households andlor who have
little or no opportunities to engage in creative activities and opportunities by not having
ICT equipment available to them or home environments conducive to engaging in
musical, artistic and cultural artistic creativity.
These CYP 'client Members, are often vulnerable and lonely individuals, disconnected
if not isolated from their communities and wider society, and consequentially at risk of
being groomed and lured into involvement in criminal activity. Often living in areas of
the town with poor unemployment rates, their life expectancy outcomes are
significantly poorer than average and they are at much higher risk of suicide. Their
circumstsnces and situations have been exacerbated, too, by the impact of the
pandemic and its aftermath. Dealing with these client Members, complex and often
demanding needs is immensely costly for the NHS and, equally consequentially,
negatively impactful on the community and economy.

Past analysis of Client Member engagement has recorded 51 % staying with the
Performing Room up to 3 years and 180/0 remaining engaged with the Charity for over
5 years. This is an area of measurement for more robust and ongoing dats in future.

Aggregate Client Member feedback for 2024125 reported 980h feeling an improved
sense of well being, 960/0 improved development of musical skills, 970h feeling less
lonely and isolated and more connected to their neighbourhoods, and 98 % making
new friends.
[5] Project partlclpatlon and engagement - achlevement of tralning and
worklemployment outcomes
Past analysis of Client Member engagement in Project work has recorded 51 %
achieving training and worklemployment outcomes, 15% of them in the creative and
recreational sector. Some Member Clients develop into 'member helpers, and, in
effect, grow into associate volunteers after Project experience, training, gaining and
accruing work experience in the process and, potentially in effect, equivalent to part
time employment.
This is another area for the development of more robust and ongoing data in future
with the Charity's strategic objective of creating Client Member portfolios of accredited
skills and documenting individual progress over time. The Charity also plans to
increase its capacity for creating volunteering training opportunities and tsrgeting
support services to train more Member Clients and equip them to serve as part of its
future 'Workfor￿, with the marketable advantages that offers for their future wider
employability.

Project client Member partlclpation and engagement - cost effectlveness
Past analysis of engagement in Project work, on the basis of attendan￿ of one day
per week (excluding possible linked participation in associated events), suggests an
estimated average annual cost of only £1000 for Client Member referrals.
During 2024125 it's estimated that over 30000 CYP benefited as viewers and listeners
to hosted and streaming events and Performing Room's wider presence across social
media.
The Charity's work has a very wide reach and impact on a range of other people
including families and friends of Client Members, volunteers and associates, and
network partners.

from WNC as well as with some of the biggest, most prestigious funders in the UK-
Garfield Weston Foundation, Arts Council England and the National Lottery as well as
from other trusts and foundations.. Foyle Foundation, and Brian Murtaugh. Jan8n

Financial Review
Reserve Policy
The Trustees review the Charity's reserves policy annually as part of the budget-
setting process and wider financial planning. The policy aims to ensure that the Charity
maintains sufficient reserves to meet its ongoing commitments and to continue
operating in the event of unforeseen circumstances.
During the financial years 2022123 and 2023124, the Trustees deliberately applied the
Charity's reserves to fund the relocation to its current premises at 9 Guildhall Road
and to meet the costs of essential repair, renovation, and refurbishment works. These
works were ne￿SSary to enable the Charity to operate effectively from the premises
and were delivered largely with the support of volunteers.
During this period, the Charity was also affected by increased inflationary pressures,
which impacted operating costs. As a result, the accounts for these years show
planned in-year operating deficits. This approach was adopted as part of a strategic
23

ANNUAL REPORT AND FINANCIAL STATEMENT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31ST MARCH 2025
PERFORMING ROOM (A CIO Registered Number: 1170745)
decision by the Trustees to invest in the Charity's long-term sustainability and
operational capacity.
Following completion of these works, the resulting credit balan￿ was used to rebuild
reserves to a level sufficient to cover approximately two months of operating
expenditure. The Trustees, longer-term objective is to increase free reserves to
provide a financial buffer sufficient to cover between three and six months of core
operating costs.
At the end of the 2024125 financial year, the Trustees, policy is to maintain free
reserves at a minimum level equivalent to three months, expenditure, with a target
level of up to six months, expenditure. This level of reserves is considered appropriate
given the scale of the Charity's activities, its reliance on grant funding, and its exposure
to ongoing cost and inflationary pressures.
Statoment of Tru8tee8' Respon8lbilltle8
The Trustees are responsible for preparing the Trustees, Annual Report and the
financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom
Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
Under the law applicable to charities in England and Wales, the Trustses are required
to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view
of the Charity's financial activities during the year and of its financial position at the
end of the year. In preparing these financial statsments, the Trustees are required to:
• select suitable accounting policies and apply them consistently;
observe the methods and principles set out in the Charities SORP;
• make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
• State whether applicable accounting standards have been followed, subject to
any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements;
and
prepare the financial statements on a going concern basis, unless it is
inappropriate to presume that the Charity will continue in operation.
The Trustees are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that disclose,
with reasonable accuracy at any time, the financial position of the Charity and enable
them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011 and
the applicable Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations. They are also
responsible for safeguarding the assets of the Charity and for taking reasonable steps
to prevent and detect fraud and other irregularities.
