Section C Objectives and activities
Summary of the objects of the charity set out in its governing document
The CBF is a charity established in 2018 in memory of Chris Bevington who was tragically killed in the Stockholm terror attack in April 2017. Like Chris, we believe in the transformative power of music and we fund projects that use music to improve the lives of children and young people living with or facing challenging circumstances.
The objects of the CIO to achieve this is to advance in life and help young people through the provision of grants to support in particular, but not exclusively:

(a) the advancement of education; (b) the provision of recreational and leisure time activities provided in the interest of social welfare, with the object of improving their conditions of life; (c) the relief of financial need and suffering; and (d) the promotion of social inclusion by preventing young people from becoming socially excluded, relieving the needs of those young people who are socially excluded and assisting them to integrate into society. (For the purposes of this clause ‘socially excluded’ means ‘young people up to 25 years of age who are excluded from society, or parts of society, as a result of one or more of the following factors: race; gender; religion; ethnic origin; immigration history; poor educational or skills attainment; disability; or who are within, or have experienced, the public care or penal system’).
Consistent with its objects, the CBF reviewed and considered a range of projects to fund, based in Brighton and Reading. However, as the charity’s main fund-raising initiative of the year – the family festival ‘Around the Boundary’ – had to be cancelled due to the COVID pandemic, the trustees considered it prudent not to make any grants this year. The trustees were very grateful to receive a grant from Cadbury Foundation when the event was formally cancelled.
Throughout the year, we continued to keep in touch with Readipop in Reading, and Audio Active in Brighton – the charity’s two main partners. Readipop is an innovative music and arts charity, with a strong reputation for inspirational, engaging arts projects that make a positive difference in young people’s lives. They specialise in working with socially-excluded young people and adults, providing a safe space for them to learn at their own pace, develop selfexpression, build confidence and find their own voice.
Summary of the main activities undertaken for the public benefit in relation to these objects (include within this section the statutory declaration that trustees have had regard to the guidance issued by the Charity Commission on public benefit)
Previous funds from the CBF have been used to support Readipop’s AAA (Access All Areas) programme for vulnerable young people. Specifically, we are helping to fund the AAA holiday workshops, which take place during the school holidays and include Family Jam sessions for primary age kids and parents, as well as studio production and music tech workshops for teenagers. Readipop provide sessions for Young People (YP) referred by a wide range of organisations that manage YP from disadvantaged backgrounds, with a diverse range of challenging circumstances.
The CBF also continued to keep in touch with Audio Active. Based in Brighton, they are a ground-breaking music organisation that works with young people at the meeting point of technology and contemporary urban culture. They provide young people in challenging circumstances with opportunities they wouldn't otherwise have. Funds from the CBF have been used to support Kustom Vibes, a monthly night with performances from young musicians involved in all Audio Active projects. Following the onset of the COVID pandemic Audio Active adopted a digital offer, including: increasing presence online, contacting some of the most vulnerable young people to offer support where they have identified safeguarding issues, supporting their Music Leaders to adapt to remote working and video delivery.
In planning the activities for the year, the Trustees had regard to the guidance on public benefit issued by the Charity Commission.

Section D Achievements and erformance p The main fundraising event for the year was set to be a revival of the Summary of the main ‘Around the Boundary' Family Fund Day in May 2020. The plan was to achievements of the charity run several family friendly stalls and stands, along with a selection of food during the year and drink. Sadly, the event had to be postponed due to the pandemic. Consideration was given to trying again in September, but the rules at the time made it impossible. Some funds were received at the beginning of the year from “Cooking for Crispy” events where people self-hosted fund-raising dinner parties.

Section E Financial review
The CBF has a reserves policy to ensure that sufficient funds are Brief statement of the maintained to enable The CBF to deal with any unforeseen expenditure. charity’s policy on reserves However, the chance of unforeseen expenditure arising is very low. The Trustees do not make commitments on spending until sufficient funds have been raised and are held in The CBF bank account. Funds in the bank account must be able to cover the full future cost of the charitable spend being committed. The CBF has no employees, property and very limited overheads (the single regular out going is a small licence fee for accounting software) and the Trustees will never make commitments that require the Foundation to use an overdraft facility or secure a loan. The CBF therefore does not need to hold substantial reserves. This policy is review annually. The current reserves policy is that the charity will always keep a minimum of £240 in its bank account

Notes
The CBF received £15,000 from an external funder to underwrite the cost of putting on the charity's main fundraising event in 2020. As this event was cancelled in 2020 and not possible in 2021 because of COVID. It is not yet clear whether the event will be possible in 2022 the funds may need to be returned so was accounted for as a loan in 2019-2020.
