UPROAR REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2023 ne ne
The trustees present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 August 2023. 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 charity was established to advance the education of the public in Music and the Performing Arts, in particular but not exclusively by commissioning and performing to the public, contemporary classical! music written in Wales, the UK and internationally and with particular emphasis on promoting and performing classical music written since 2000.
In planning our activities for the year, we kept in mind the Charity Commission's guidance in Section 17 of the Charities Act 2011 on public benefit at our trustees' meetings.
-
The strategy adopted by the Charity to meet its charitable objectives is to undertake the activities listed below: - The performance and promotion of public concerts of contemporary classical music at venues throughout Wales, the UK and internationally.
-
Broadcasts and recordings.
-
- Alearning programme including development opportunities for young and emerging composers. - Fundraising te achieve the above.
ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE
Charitable activities
:
Performance and Promotion
Following the successful completion of two ambitious performance projects in 2022, much of the year 2022-2023 was devoted to planning and fundraising for future projects. This resulted in three confirmed projects. Two of these started towards the end of the year and all three projects were planned to complete in the year 2023-24 - the highest number of projects the charity will have undertaken in any single year.
Artist Development:
As part of our commitment to develop artists of the future we devised a comprehensive plan involving three separate projects designed to support GCSE students, early career (graduate) composers and established composers. In the first two of these, we will collaborate with other organisations in Wales who are actively engaged in composer development to make the most of each organisation's individual areas of expertise.
Composition workshops for 14-18 year old students in collaboration with Arts Active (education department of St David's Hall in Cardiff). Scheduled during the half term school holiday in Autumn 2023, up to 10 students will gain knowledge and experience writing for an ensemble of 5 musicians, mentored by Sarah Lianne Lewis, a composer UPROAR has so far commissioned two new pieces for our ensemble. Arts Active organise composition workshops for this age group during every half term school holiday and have well established contacts with young people who would benefit from these workshops. Working together with our brilliant musicians who are dedicated to new work is a natural partnership.
Composers’ Studio 2023-24 in collaboration with Ty Cerdd - giving six, early career composers the opportunity to write pieces for large ensemble, mentored by experienced composers Richard Baker and Lynne Plowman. TY Cerdd is the national organisation for the promotion of music from Wales. It provides many development opportunities for composers and through its network we are able to reach most music creators in Wales. T¥ Cerdd's experience in handling an open call selection process is invaluable for the project.
The selection process for this project took place within the year 2022-23 and resulted in the selection of six composers:
Eluned Davies
Niamh O'Donnell
Joseph Graydon Tayla-Leigh Payne Jake Thorpe Luciano Williamson
The writing process, facilitated by 3 workshops involving the UPROAR ensemble of 12 players will take place during the 2023-24 year from October 2023 to March 2024.
To maximise resources, UPROAR and Ty Cerdd each fundraised towards the costs of the project, resulting in equal contributions.

UPROAR REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2023
ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE UPROAR secured funds from:
The Garrick Charitable Trust
The Leche Trust
Son_of Chamber Symphony - a performance project for large ensemble of 17 musicians including three new commissions from Welsh composers;
Richard Baker
Nathan James Dearden Lynne Plowman
These will be performed alongside existing pieces by well-known international composers:
John Adams Son of Chamber Symphony Oiga Neuwirth Symphonie Diagonale
‘Symphonie Diagonale' will be a UK premiere and it will be the first time both these pieces will have toured to audiences in Wales.
This project will tour to five venues throughout Wales, expanding the reach of our work to rural communities around Cilgerran in West Wales and to the socio-economically disadvantaged area of Merthyr Tydfil. It will also tour to venues in Bangor, Aberystwyth and Cardiff where we have performed previously. The tour is planned for Spring 2024.
The project attracted funds from:
Gwendoline and Margaret Davies Charity
PRS Foundation
TY Cerdd
Our three commissioned composers began writing their new pieces when the project funding was confirmed in July 2023 and are expected to complete their commissions in November 2023 leaving sufficient time for preparation and rehearsals ready for the first performance in Bangor Music Festival on 17 February 2024.
Pianning for future years
Small Scale Tour - for a small ensemble of 8 musicians without piano.
As part of our commitment to serve communities throughout Wales outside the main population areas, this project is designed to tour to smaller venues such as village halls which do not have the technical resources of the larger venues. The project is based around the works we commissioned from 5 Welsh composers during lockdown and which has, up until now, only been heard on BBC Radio 3. The project brings this music to live audiences for the first time. Fundraising within the 2022-2023 year resulted in the award of one grant from the Radcliffe Trust. Fundraising for this project will continue in the year 2023-2024.
Arts Council of Wales Investment Review
in line with our aim reported in 2022-23, significant effort was put into our application to the Arts Council of Wales to be included in their portfolio of clients funded on an ongoing basis with funding starting in April 2024, The application process required significant effort from the Trustees and Artistic Director including the creation of a business plan which needed to be submitted as part of the application process. Although our application was unsuccessful, much of the work done to create the application is relevant to the needs of the organisation and will be valuable going forward. UPROAR intends to reapply for Investment Review funding at the earliest opportunity.
Environmental Sustainability
At UPROAR, we are committed to reducing the environmental impact of our work. Having achieved Green Dragon Environmental Standard Level 2 in both 2021 and 2022, for the third consecutive year, we again gained this accreditation in 2023, signifying a continual improvement in reducing the impact of our work on the planet. As our main impact arises through touring, we encourage everyone working with us to travel via train or share cars and, whenever possible, plan tours with consecutive performances to reduce the numbers ‘there and back’ journeys.

ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE
In addition to taking steps towards becoming a carbon neutral organisation our performance projects also offer the chance to increase awareness of climate issues. Our commission from Lynne Plowman for the ‘Son of Chamber Symphony’ takes this approach and her piece will be inspired by the movements of wind turbines which increasingly feature in the landscape of Wales. With this starting point the listeners in addition to appreciating the music in its own right are likely to reflect on the environmental crisis.
Broadcasts and Recordings
The added value of a BBC Radio 3 broadcast helps to establish the quality of the ensemble in the minds of potential funders and audience members. It also allows us to reach a much larger number of listeners than simply the number who can get to the performance and is accessible to all.
In the year 2022-2023, UPROAR's performances were broadcast in three separate programmes of BBC Radio 3's New Music Show. The recordings were made during the previous year and included UPROAR's commissions from composers Andrew Lewis and Bethan Morgan-Williams (recorded at Galeri, Caernarfon). Each broadcast typically attracts 40,000-80,000 listeners which benefits listeners throughout Wales and allows listeners across the globe to experience new music from Wales. These broadcast performances were especially valuable in a year when we were not able to give public performances.
The Welsh Language
UPROAR aspires to become a fully bilingual company where Welsh and English are used equally according to the choice of those who work with the organization or benefit from its activities.
During the year we worked with the Welsh Language Commission to help formalise and develop our Welsh offer (Cynnig Cymraeg) and expect to gain our Cynnig Cymraeg during 2023-2024.
- Future aims We aim to: - Develop our work in line with the Well-being of Future Generations (Wales) Act 2015. - Support and adhere to the principles of the Welsh Government's Cultural Contract. - Increase the audience base and develop new audiences in fine with our artistic remit. - Increase the income base from a variety of sources. - Continue to build reserves. - Perform one large scale project per year, touring to three venues in Wales. - Perform one smaller project per year, touring to six venues in Wales. - Create one composer development project per year. - Create one community project per year. - — Identify and work more proactively with partners within Wales, the UK and internationally.

FINANCIAL REVIEW
Reserves policy
The trustees intend to build up reserves of £10,000 or 10% of annual turnover (whichever is larger) - to be used to aid cashflow and guarantee projects whilst waiting for grant income to be confirmed. Reserves will derive from unrestricted donations and any surplus earned income. Free reserves at the end of the accounting period amounted to £47,923 (2022: £58,016).
Future funding
In the immediate future, our work will be funded via project grants from Arts Council of Wales, Trusts, Foundations and individual giving. To secure our long-term future, we will need to obtain some form of ongoing funding to allow us to plan more consistently. We intend to apply for ACW Revenue Funding at the next opportunity.
STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT Governing document
UPROAR is a Charitable Incorporated Organisation (CIO). Its governing document is a constitution based on the Charitable Incorporated Organisation Foundation Model where the only voting members are charity trustees. Its constitution was last amended on the 27th April 2020.
Methods used to recruit and appoint new trustees
UPROAR aims to be an inclusive organisation and has developed the methods used to improve the openness and transparency of the Board selection process and increase the diversity of its trustees.
These include:
-
Potential new trustees are identified by current Board members and the Artistic Director taking account, where appropriate, external advice and the requirement for specialist skills.
-
Open calls via advertisements and announcements in arts industry newsletters, performance programmes and organisations such as Disability Arts Wales, Arts & Business Cymru, Arts Council Wales, T) Cerdd.
No new trustees joined the Board during the year 2022-2023. The Board currently has five trustees - 3 female and 2 male and includes one Welsh speaker. It is aimed to recruit one or possibly two additional trustees during the year 2023-2024.
Induction and training of new trustees
After selection, potential new trustees are invited to meet with one of the trustees and the Artistic Director prior to attending their first board meeting which is considered as probationary by both parties. If both the new member and the Board are satisfied, their appointment as trustee is confirmed in writing. They are given documentation relating to their responsibilities under charity law (including current SORP regulations) and copies of the charity's constitution and most recent Annual Report and Accounts.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2023
UPROAR
- STATUTORY INFORMATION
UPROAR is a registered charity, registered in England and Wales under charity number 1174587. The governing document of UPROAR is its Constitution and it is a Charitable Incorporated Organisation (CIO). The principal address is 1 Porth-Y-Green Close, Llanblethian, Cowbridge, CF71 7JR. The nature of the charity's operations and principal activities are disclosed within the Report of the Trustees.
The financial statements are presented in Sterling (£), the charity's functional currency, and rounded to the nearest pound.
The significant accounting policies applied in the preparation of these financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all years presented unless otherwise stated.
- ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of preparing the financial statements
The financial statements of the charity, which is a public benefit entity under FRS 102, have been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102) ‘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 freland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019)’, Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland’ and the Charities Act 2011. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention.
The financial statements have been prepared to give a ‘true and fair' view and have departed from the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 only to the extent to provide a ‘true and fair’ view. This departure has involved following the 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 issued in October 2019 rather than the Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice effective from 1 April 2005 which has since been withdrawn.
There have been no material departures from Financial Reporting Standard 102.
UPROAR meets the definition of a public benefit entity as demonstrated within the Report of the Trustees.
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.
Donation income includes donations, gifts and grants that provide core funding or, are of a general nature and are recognised where there is entitlement, probability of receipt and the amount can be measured with sufficient reliability. Such income is only deferred when the donor specifies it must be used in future accounting periods or the donor has imposed conditions which must be met before the charity has unconditional entitlement.
Income from charitable activities includes income received under contract or where entitlement to grant funding is subject to specific performance conditions. This income is recognised as the related services are provided and there is entitlement, probability of receipt and the amount can be measured with sufficient reliability. Income is deferred when the amounts received are in advance of the performance of the service or event to which they relate.
It is not the policy of the charity to show income net of expenditure.
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.
Expenditure on charitable activities comprises those costs incurred by the charity in the delivery of its activities and services for its beneficiaries. It includes both costs that can be allocated directly to such activities and those costs of an indirect nature necessary to support them.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - continued FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2023
- ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued
Expenditure
Support costs are those costs that, whilst necessary to deliver an activity, do not themselves produce or constitute the output of the charitable activity. This includes governance costs which are those costs associated with meeting the constitutional and statutory requirements of the charity and include the accountancy fees and costs linked to the strategic management of the charity.
Tangible fixed assets
Fixed assets are initially recorded at cost. Only assets which cost £500 or more are capitalised by the charity.
Depreciation is calculated so as to write off the cost of an asset, less its estimated residual value, over the useful life of that asset as follows:-
Computer equipment
25% straight line
Taxation
The charity is exempt from tax on its charitable activities.
Fund accounting
Unrestricted funds are donations and other incoming resources receivable or generated for the objects of the charity without further specified purpose and are available as general funds.
Restricted funds are to be used for specific purposes as laid down by the donor. Expenditure, which meets these criteria, is charged to the fund, together with a fair allocation of support and governance costs.
Further explanation of the nature and purpose of each fund is included in the notes to the financial statements.
Financial instruments
The charity only has financial assets and financial 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.
Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount due and prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid.
Creditors and provisions are recognised where the charity has a present obligation resulting from a past event that will probably result in the transfer of funds to a third party and the amount due to settle the obligation can be measured or estimated reliably. Creditors and provisions are normally recognised at their settlement amount after allowing for any trade discounts due.
