Charitable Incorporated Organisation (Foundation) Report and Financial Statements Year ending 5April 2024 Charity Number 1182926 ## **Report of the trustees for the year ending 5 April 2024** The trustees are pleased to present their annual report together with the statement of financial Progress, year ending 5 April 2024. ## **Charitable Objectives** **Isikoza** is a Charitable Incorporated Organisation, established to: .Advance the education of the general public in the appreciation and understanding of music and its history; with special emphasis on Jazz and Popular Music - Provision of performance workshops and training - Programming of educational performances (recitals) ## **OBJECTIVES AND AIMS** **Isikoza** is committed to enabling people from diverse backgrounds access to ‘inspiring and practical’ educational training in the fields of jazz and popular music. The charity aims to achieve this by:  Designing and implementing creative music modules for adults who desire greater comprehension and understanding in jazz theory and improvisation  Provision of music workshops for instruments greatly utilised in Popular Music (Electric Bass, Electric Guitar, Acoustic Drums, & Electric Piano)  Programming of educational performances (recitals) in Churches, Community Centres & Open Spaces ## **ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE** In the financial period April 2024 to April 2025 we have: - Consultations for Book Launch - Consultations for Easter Service - Conducted several viewings of Commercial Properties in Stoke on Trent ## **Consultant for Easter Service in Elderly Home** Our Trustee, Mr Roberts was contacted by the care home to assist with programming a special Easter Service for their residents. . The consultations in question, revolved around how to provide the correct backline equipment (amplifiers, electric bass, drums, keyboards, laptops and microphone’s) plus religious hymns, for the occasion. The consultations proved to be highly successful, resulting in a tremendous Easter Sunday Christian Service for residents and visitors. ## **Consultant for Book Launch** Once again our Trustee Mr Roberts was asked for expert advice on ‘technical specifications’, to assist with a ‘Posthumous Book Launch’. The launch would be filmed live, and available for viewing to family members in oversea territories, and nationally. Although there was a lot of pressure because of the significance of the occasion; our trustee’s expertise and experience, ensured the event was a resounding success. ## **Conducted Several Viewings of Commercial Premises** Our board decided to look at commercial premises alongside the possibility of community asset transfers. To this end we looked at several pubs, and a restaurant. Although the restaurant was in the best condition, we felt that the location was not suitable to fulfil our charitable objectives. One of the pub’s was in an ideal location was ideal for our charity, however the condition of the building, and costs needed to renovate, were decisive factors not to proceed further with an expression of interest. ## **FUTURE** All of the above projects were again delivered with the charity receiving no financial remunerations .To address this urgent matter we will seek advice from organisation’s who have received funding, and experienced with applications for grants. ## **TRUSTEES** The board of trustees met three times during the financial period 5th April 2024 to 5th April 2025 Charity trustees during this period were: Paul Roberts Elaine White (Secretary) Derrick Wallace (Chair) ||**Charity Name**
