Report of the Trustees for the Year Ended 12 December 2023
The trustees present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 12 December 2023. The trustees have adopted the provisions of Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019).
OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES
Objectives and aims
Promote the Art of Steel Pan Music. To advance the education of the public in the arts. In particular Steel Pan music through the provision of workshops and public performances.
Significant activities
We have continued our twice weekly rehearsals for Junior and Senior Band. We ran workshops during the school holidays for young students to learn the art of Steel Pan playing, performance and music.
We are developing positive social connections and relationships for young people and their parents and friends within our community. We are doing this by providing a facility (Steel Band) that students from ethnic minority backgrounds can relate to. An inclusive community group where students and parents can work together to improve the quality of life for everybody.
Our concerts have been successful events reaching a wider audience within the Community, often complimented on both the high quality of the performance and the fun filled atmosphere we have surrounding them. Students who have attended our workshops and Junior Band have also had the valuable experience of performing with the support of our main band for the wider Community.
Concerts performed in the local area include:
Urban Arts Festival - Wealdstone Square King's Coronation - Pinner Village Gardens King's Coronation - Headstone Manor and Museum Harrow Arts Centre World Music Festival with Harrow Music Service Orley Farm - Summer School Fair Windrush event - Harrow Music Service Pinner Memorial Park - Annual Music Event One Week Summer School West Harrow Park - Summer Event Star Pub, South Harrow- Family Event
Public benefit
The Trustees confirm that they have referred to the Charity Commission's guidance on public benefit when reviewing the charity's aims, objectives and activities and are satisfied that they fully meet it.
Volunteers
Harrow Steel can rely on volunteer contributions principally from the Band Manager, Parents, Trustees and former students who contribute time and energy in helping stage concerts and assist in the day to day running of the charity. We are incredibly grateful for efforts and contributions of the volunteers.

ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE Charitable activities
The local community have enjoyed the interaction and arts activities/concerts, we provide. Our rehearsals and workshops have:
a) Improved mental health and wellbeing whilst giving young people skills they need for employment such as teamwork, leadership skills, ability to interact with students from different ethnic backgrounds.
b) Improved the quality of life by our commitment to perform regularly within the community.
c) Promoted social inclusion for those who have poor educational skills or attainment, disability or who feel excluded due to their ethnic origin or religion.
d) Provided a leisure time activity to improve aspiration and employment opportunities and enable them to participate in society as mature and responsible individuals.
We will continue to encourage, develop and resume positive social connections and relationships for young people within our community. In the coming year we hope to be able to continue our regular rehearsals and to perform regularly in the local area.
We also hope to be able to continue our aim to bring the local community together to improve mental health and wellbeing and expand this to have a wider reach and impact.
Rehearsals and Workshops:
Rehearsals for the Junior Band are weekly during term time and most of our students have now been learning for 3 years and some are progressing towards the Senior Band. The Senior Band rehearses weekly during term time and this year we have been able to recruit a number of new members who have shown a great deal of commitment. We were able to provide a Summer Workshop, in addition providing a boost to their mental health, a supportive social environment and an outlet for their creative endeavours.
Both the musicians and our staff deserve high praise and credit for their resilience and hard work to make these a success during these difficult times.
