Pupil tuition has resumed in all settings. - Compliance was sustained through internet Zoom meetings and email. - Consideration was given to the impact on the charity’s finances and the Trustees were satisfied that reserves and the outcome of ongoing initiatives were able to sustain the activities of the charity in the immediate future. - Relationships were sustained with four major delivery partners: - Northwick Park Primary Academy - Song School - BOSP (Bright Opportunities for Special People) - `o` Nicola Collis Music - New partnerships have been explored with the Aurora Orchestra ## **Section C Objectives and activities** **Summary of the objects of the charity set out in its governing document** To advance the education of children and young people in the subject of music by, in particular, but not exclusively, providing bursaries for instruments, workshops, performances and tuition. March **2012** **TAR** 3 The Trustees of the charity have paid regard to the Charity Commission guidance on public benefit and ensured that the activities and outcomes associated with the charity have met this requirement. The principal criteria applied is that beneficiaries demonstrate that without support from the charity that their personal, medical, social or financial circumstances would prevent them participating in, and developing ability, in music. Our partner organisations were able to deliver activities on our behalf. **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)** - BOSP expanded its Music Therapy sessions for children with severe impairments and their families to a weekly session which the charity has supported. This provides regular opportunity for the children to enjoy making music and also to enable a degree of respite care for the families. - Song School (formerly EVC) has continued with musical tuition and enabled 16 young people to receive tuition. In addition, they have established regular holiday workshops for the children to attend and developed a number of creative projects which the charity has supported alongside other partners. This has seen students engage in songwriting, production and performance which has created major benefits to their emotional wellbeing. - · The award of Ewan's Drum Scholarship was made to a young female student who demonstrated both talent and aptitude. ## **Additional details of objectives and activities (Optional information)** You **may choose** to include further statements, where relevant, about: - policy on grantmaking; - policy programme related investment; - contribution made by volunteers. The charity has no employees and therefore relies heavily on the contributions of time and resources from its volunteers. The efforts of this group have sustained the fundraising and awareness of the charity. The charity is primarily a grant-making body and has benefitted from its relationship with a number of key partners, BOSP; Song School; Nicola Collis Music. The Trustees ensure that activities of its delivery partners are compatible with the charity's objects. Section D Achievements and performance March **2012** **TAR** 4 ## Section D Achievements and performance **Summary of the main achievements of the charity during the year** The charity has relied heavily on individuals to continue supporting the charity in innovative ways to supplement its regular supporters. The continued regular donations from Ewan’s grandmothers Mrs V. Lane and Mrs. J Spittle plus those of Andrew Manton were augmented by funds raised from supporters through social occasions and designated donations e.g., BBQ’s, Xmas cards, snack sales. The continuing UK economic challenges have meant that there has been sustained pressure on public giving with the subsequent reduction in opportunities to raise charitable donations. This has required the Trustees to review the proposed activities and to revise the programme accordingly. The generosity of a benefactor, known to the family, brought a significant benefit to the charity and reduced the pressure on revenue raising to meet its obligations through the year. Consequently, the charity’s funds remain in a healthy position and will enable it to fulfil its objectives for the foreseeable future. Song School continued its partnership by also raising funds through collections at performances and through licensed 'busking' showcases in Southend. The continued support for BOSP has been a key objective for the charity and has provided continuing music therapy and respite care for BOSP’s clients. This is a strong relationship and one which the charity hopes to sustain. ## **Section E Financial review** We look to maintain adequate reserves to meet our commitments should **Brief statement of the charity’s** there be a short-term fall in donations. Our policy is to continue to look for **policy on reserves** opportunities to deliver our charitable objectives to as many beneficiaries as we can.
