**Commission on public**
**benefit)**|The trustees confirm that they have had regard to the Charity
Commission’s guidance on public benefit when reviewing the
charity’s aims and objectives and will take account of the public
benefit requirements when planning future activities.
Harmony exists to promote music education and performance for
people under the age of 25 years who are socially and economically
disadvantaged; there are many who would like to study music and
become competent at playing a musical instrument but who
currently lack the funds they need to do this. The aim of the charity
is to provide the necessary assistance that will enable children and
young people from disadvantaged backgrounds to pursue their
musical ambitions, whether at school, in higher education, or at the
start of a career as a professional musician.
The playing and performing of music can help people to express
themselves better, find new confidence in their own abilities and
discover hope for a better future.
Playing music with others, in ensembles or orchestras, develops an
awareness of how individual contributions can come together to
make the whole, and this brings a sense of community. Working
towards a common goal in partnership with other musicians
cultivates valuable life skills that can be utilised in many different
walks of life, as well as in the field of music.
There are millions of under-25s, in the UK and across the world,
who have never had the opportunity to experience the life-
enhancing benefits of music-making and are therefore potential
beneficiaries of the charity’s work.
Harmony’s charitable objects describe various ways in which it
might seek to support the music training of young people under the
age of 25. These include the provision of direct financial assistance
where needed, input from professional musicians funded by the
charity and the setting up of special projects involving groups of
young musicians.|

Section D Achievements and erformance p
**Summary of the main** The prolonged impact of Covid restrictions during the financial year **achievements of the charity** meant there were no opportunities to develop the charity’s work; **during the year** this included the planned re-recording of the lead vocal part on the STAND soundtrack, which could not be carried out as we had hoped. As a result the use of the song as a fundraising vehicle had to be put on hold. Donations amounted to £950, which covered the costs of further development of the charity’s website and legal advice in connection with the use of the STAND soundtrack.

The charity has no reserves (the cash balance at the end of the financial year was just £67).
