Objectives and activities (continued)

The charity's main activities

Made with Music provides accessible and educational musical activities for everyone. We mainly work with families, but this extends from babies to grandparents and we aim to make all of our events and workshops inclusive and accessible to as wide a range of people as possible. We currently provide early years music classes for parents/carers and their children, specialist music sessions for disability support groups, singing development in schools, family-friendly and accessible gigs, intergenerational singing sessions and training sessions for staff and parents. We support young musicians to develop their skills through advice and training and support the mental wellbeing of our own staff by planning and delivering all projects in pairs.

Public benefit statement

In setting our objectives and planning our activities our trustees have given serious consideration to the Charity Commission’s general guidance on public benefit and in particular the advancement of music education of young people and families in and around Yorkshire through participation in live music activities. Made with Music has been very adaptable in the recent conditions and has continued to offer this service remotely.

Achievements and performance

We have continued to be affected by Covid-19 during this financial year yet have consistently provided opportunities for families to engage with live music both online and in person. We have carefully adapted our face-to-face work so members of the public, some of whom have been isolating for 2 years, can feel comfortable and confident attending our work. We have devised thorough risk assessments for all of our public facing events and classes and have provided opportunities for feedback on how our customers and families feel at these events.

We have had to manage our budgets carefully and after receiving an extension from two major grants (Arts Council England and Youth Music) we had to finalise these projects, and therefore the budgets, whilst maintaining a high standard of delivery. We were able to deliver some face-to-face sessions using these budgets and adapted the projects accordingly to make them safe and worthwhile. We used some of the money from these budgets to buy equipment which will enhance the charities offer going forward including a keyboard and a wireless microphone system which has meant we can sing indoors providing a safer Covid environment (using microphones was suggested by our NHS groups as we don’t have to project our voices as much, therefore producing less aerosols and mitigating risk of infection)

We have been able to work with new musicians again and have begun training them to deliver some of our faceto-face work over the past few months.

We have continued to promote our online content produced over the past few years and we are still getting consistent views of our early years classes and other content. Whilst we have gone back to face-to-face classes, we have had a high level of absences due to illness and so lots of families have commented on how great it was to have the YouTube channel to watch when this happens.

We received a grant from Leeds 2023. We are hoping that the ideas created with this seed commission grant will create future funding from this organisation going forward.

We have been successful in receiving 2 grants going forward into the 22-23 financial year.

Financial review

The net payments for the year were £11,771, including net payments of £483 on unrestricted funds and net payments of £11,288 on restricted funds after transfers.

Made with Music has been affected financially by the Covid-19 pandemic over the 21/22 accounting period. As with the previous year (20/21), the charity had regular contracts cancelled or put on hold and didn’t bring in as much income from fees. We have begun to receive more regular fees for classes now that we can re-start some projects and have been successful in funding for the next financial year so the charity is not in immediate financial difficulties. The trustees are aware that the impact of coronavirus on the arts sector is not over and will budget cautiously over the next few years to ensure the charity continues to run. At the time of signing these accounts the charity has been impacted by the global Covid-19 virus. The trustees have reassessed the charity’s ability to continue for at least 12 months from the date that the accounts are approved and conclude that no material uncertainties exist that cast significant doubt on the charity's ability to meet its liabilities as they fall due.

Reserves policy

The charity's free reserves, excluding fixed assets, at the year end were £13,358.

During this financial year, 2021/2022, we have used £483 of our reserves. (Reserves are defined as the total available unrestricted funds.) We would like to build up our reserves to £20,000 to allow us to pay all musicians for at least 6 months if a global crisis like Covid-19 were to impact us again.

Funds or subsidiary undertakings materially in deficit

The Arts Council England grant was £1,673 in deficit at the year end. Funding to meet these costs is scheduled to be received in May 2022.

Independent examiner's report to the trustees of Made with Music Charitable Incorporated Organisation ('the CIO')

I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the CIO for the year ended 31 March 2022, which are set out on pages 6 to 9.

Responsibilities and basis of report

Independent examiner's statement

I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect:

1 accounting records were not kept in respect of the CIO as required by section 130 of the Act; or 2 the accounts do not accord with those records.
