## **Section C Objectives and activities**
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:
**Summary of the objects of the** (a) the advancement of education; **charity set out in its** (b) the provision of recreational and leisure time activities provided in the **governing document** 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.
Readipop in Reading – the CBF’s main partner – continues to deliver fantastic projects consistent with the CBF’s charitable aims. 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 self-expression, 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 have helped 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.
Due to all the successful fundraising efforts, we were able to commit £15,000 to Readipop, which they were able to leverage into significant further funding by seeking larger grants from major funders and trusts. CBF’s donations enabled Readipop to buy the offices and studio they work from, thus helping to safeguard the future of the charity. As well as help develop that space into more and better equipped studios, one of which will bear the name of Chris Bevington.
In planning the activities for the year, the Trustees had regard to the guidance on public benefit issued by the Charity Commission.

## **Brief statement of the**
## **charity’s policy on reserves**
The CBF has a reserves policy to ensure that sufficient funds are maintained to enable The CBF to deal with any unforeseen expenditure. 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
**Details of any funds materially** There are no funds in deficit. **in deficit**
