Additional governance issues (Optional information)

You may choose to include additional information, where relevant, about:

• policies and procedures adopted for the induction and training of trustees;

• the charity’s organisational structure and any wider network with which the charity works;

• relationship with any related parties;

• trustees’ consideration of major risks and the system and procedures to manage them.

We attach trustees to ensembles, whenever possible, to provide an insight into the core activities of the charity, alongside an opportunity to make a practical contribution.

We have designated trustees attached to Safeguarding and Health & Safety procedures.

PDMC is a partner in the Derbyshire Music Hub, which is led by the Derby and Derbyshire Music Partnership. This enables us to access public funding via the Arts Council from the Department for Education.

The trustees maintain and regularly update a Handbook, for use by Ensemble Directors (EDs) and parent helpers, which sets out all required procedures and protocols - especially with relation to safeguarding children; equality; health and safety; risk assessments for performances, trips and tours; planning timelines; and financial management.

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)	Having due regard to the guidance issued by the Charity Commission on public benefit, PDMC works tirelessly to bring music making opportunities to young people of school age from all social backgrounds, whether or not they are members of PDMC. Section D below gives details of our achievements over the past year. As a further commitment to public benefit, in recent years the trustees have raised over £28,000 (£4000 in the current year) in grants from local charities and donations, specifically targeted at ensuring that financial hardship is no barrier to a young person’s aspirations to learn an instrument or play alongside others. £1,863 has been awarded in the past year. We also offer an initial free taster half term to beginners to encourage potential new members. Our new recruitment projects have also widened access to music making and we have been pleased to see increased applications to our Bursary Scheme. The trustees have met five times to monitor the efficiency and effectiveness of the organisation, to plan for long-term financial and musical viability, to maintain a strategic direction and to ensure that all statutory requirements are being met. Financial and management information provided by the Administrator informs close monitoring of the organisation’s performance and strategic decision making. The Administrator attends Board and ED meetings and meets as necessary with the Chair and a Strategy Group comprising three trustees. The EDs also met three times (once in separate wind and string groups) during the year and the Chair and Administrator attend their meetings and regularly communicate with them by email.

Summary of Main Activities cont’d …

Increasing player numbers has remained a challenge. 16 experienced players “graduated” from our ensembles over the summer, leaving us with just 124 ensemble players in September. This number remained steady throughout the year, with 10 new joiners being offset by as many leavers. However, our extremely successful Engagement Programme brought over 70 young new players onto our engagement programmes. Hub funding for 2023/24 was based on the number of registered players in 2022/23, which took us back just above 200 and so restored our Hub grant to £17000. Nevertheless our Revenue Budget still finished the year with an operating deficit of over £5,000, requiring a further draw down from reserves. Additionally, we drew heavily on our Reserves to fund bursaries and recruitment and other initiatives. Happily, our reserves remained very healthy, thanks to donations and grants totalling £21,000. To maximise income, subscriptions significantly increased by £50 (£30 for Beginner groups). This still represents excellent value for money compared with club fees elsewhere and parents did not demur, whilst making increasing use of our Direct Debit system for paying subs. Use of our Sum Up card reader also helped increase bucket collections and small donations. We began the year with eight Ensemble Directors. Kenneth (Tam Wing Kin) took over the Wind Band from Danny Riley and continued Danny’s success in steadying the Wind Band and maintaining morale and some excellent playing despite low numbers. Hannah Watson finally had to start calling time on her roles with PDMC and stepped down from the Training Strings in December. This left Gavin and Jason doubling up to cover three ensembles until Easter, when Sophie Sully joined the team. In November Gavin Usher stepped down from his role as Strategic Director of Music by mutual agreement with, and thanks from, the trustees. This increased the importance of the Strategy Group, comprising three trustees and the Administrator, in ensuring both effective short term planning and maintaining a focus on longer term development and strategic planning. The trustees reviewed the remuneration of our outstanding Administrator and agreed to award a modest but affordable increase. We hugely appreciate the initiative, efficiency and commitment which Marion consistently demonstrates. At long last, PDMC has an effective and growing social media presence on Facebook and Instagram, thanks to Sophie Sully, whom we have engaged to develop and coordinate it. As a result, an update of the Social Media Policy has been drafted, with Partnership advice, to allay ED concerns regarding photos of players temporarily held on their mobiles. With regard to statutory matters, the trustees monitor all Charity Commission updates for useful tips and reminders; and keep a particularly close eye on safeguarding and data protection. In particular, we maintain a Risk Management Statement and Risk Register. EDs also undertake basic First Aid training as a contractual requirement. Trustees recognise the need to be constantly looking for new fund-raising opportunities. Successful bids resulted in grants from the Ethel James Foundation for £6000 and from the Bingham Trust for £5000 (each including £2k for Bursaries). We also received an extremely generous donation of £10,000. We also successfully applied for small Hub recruitment grants of £400 towards the Gala Day WOpps workshops; and £850 towards the Y2 Strings Project /Play Day, plus discounted fees for continuing FOpps group registrations.

Summary of Main Activities cont’d …

The venue moves of Friday night strings from St Thomas More School to Buxton Infants School and of BUBW and the Big Band to the Community School all went smoothly. At the end of the year we consulted with Senior and Intermediate Wind Band parents about a possible Friday night move from Bakewell to Buxton. The survey also confirmed that a majority of parents did not wish to move away from Friday evenings.

Trustees met with Jayne Briggs in March for a briefing on the new national Music Hub arrangements and we subsequently registered, as required, as a partner in the new Derbyshire Music Hub. The Chair also now attends Hub Reference Group meetings. The previous Service Level Agreements have been discontinued.

Membership of the Hub entitles us to the services of the Hub Area Leader, Dan Timmins, who acts as a musical adviser and is responsible for the quality control of all musical activity and for the professional development of our ensemble directors. He also has a role in supporting our revival planning and strategy.

We maintain close links at both Chair and ED level with our Hub neighbour, Dark Peak Music Foundation, with a commitment to maintaining joint concerts and initiatives when possible. Dark Peak kindly invited our players to supplement their numbers for their appearance at the national Music for Youth event in the Royal Albert Hall – a memorable experience for the small number of our players who took up the invitation.

All our EDs are engaged with a local (usually Derbyshire) Music Service through which they receive updates, including on key issues such as Safeguarding, and a certain amount of professional development. Further to this, the trustees provide funding so that EDs may keep their First Aid training up to date. Kenneth Tam, a new ED, attended the Conducting Course at the RNCM, funded by the Hub and PDMC.

PDMC personnel are all self-employed and provide contracted services, which are reviewed annually. PDMC personnel make up a dedicated and talented team which serves the organisation with distinction and flair and which delivers the considerable benefits and successes experienced by our young musicians.

PDMC attracts considerable support from the players’ parents, several of whom actively support the work of the charity. All current trustees are either past or present parents. Parent helpers provide weekly administrative and safeguarding support for our ensemble rehearsals, as well as at performances and on trips and tours. They also help with fund-raising. The organisation is deeply indebted to its volunteers and sincerely acknowledges the contribution of our parent volunteers, as well as the contribution of all our contracted personnel.

This year we held our AGM in March at Lady Manners School. Nine parents attended – our best number yet – and engaged in a positive discussion about the challenges facing PDMC and possible solutions. Thanks to a generous offer from Markowitz we now have a customised instrument store at their Tideswell site, and we have finally been able to complete accurate inventories of all our own instruments.

Section D Achievements and performance

Summary of the main achievements of the charity during the year		Over the year we provided music making opportunities for over 200 young players, ranging from preparatory to senior level ensembles, and including several in our Engagement Projects. Ensembles We have been able to maintain 10 established ensembles: • 4 string ensembles: Training ; Intermediate ; Senior Orchestra - in Buxton Beginners in Bakewell • 5 wind ensembles: Beginner ; Intermediate ; Wind Band - in Bakewell Beginners in Buxton & in Hope Valley • Big Band: with over 20 players, in Buxton We now have sufficient new recruits to restart Buxton Beginner Strings and to start a Junior Choir in September. However, very low numbers mean that Bakewell Beginner Strings will be closed down, at least for the time being. An exciting new addition to our provision in September will be an Electric Strings ensemble. PDMC will purchase and own, initially, ten instruments and Sophie Sully will direct the ensemble. And we finally have our own extempore Parents Band, PDMC POPS, with around 20, often highly qualified, members! Ensemble Directors Our starting team of 8 ensemble directors saw Hannah Watson step down in December but Sophie Sully join and take over Training Strings at Easter. We were also delighted to engage Sara-Kate Townsend as our Choir ED for September. Rehearsals A full programme of 30 weekly term time rehearsals took place throughout the year in Buxton Infants School, Hope Valley College, Lady Manners School and Buxton Community School. PDMC Engagement Projects Six engagement projects during the year have involved wind groups at Harpur Hill Primary School and St Anne’s RC Primary School; recorders at Buxton Infant & Junior Schools; a “Promising Players” group at Burgage Primary School; and a choir at Buxton Infant School. Our PEP programme has led to regular dialogue with all our local schools.

S ummary of Main Achievements cont’d

Annual Concerts and Performances

• Sunday afternoon and evening Christmas concerts at Lady Manners School, Bakewell

• Our Spring Gala concert with all our ensembles in March in Buxton Octagon

• Our senior ensembles Spring Concert in May at St John’s Church

• Our Big Band played its regular spot at the Leek Arts Festival in May, and also played twice on the bandstand in Buxton’s Pavilion Gardens in May and June

• This year’s July summer concert was planned as an open air event at Bakewell Primary School but rain forced us indoors, with a slightly truncated programme but a great if squashed atmosphere, and an amazing cake stall.

Other Major Initiatives and Events

These targeted events strengthen our partnerships and assist recruitment.

• In the Autumn half-term we put on our first, very well-attended Theory Course, delivered by Sophie Sully in Buxton. Unfortunately, a second course offered later in the year in Bakewell on a Friday evening did not take off.

• We again used our all day booking of the Octagon to run a morning wind and an afternoon string workshop for children in WOpps groups in most of our local primary schools. Our own EDs, very expertly, ran the sessions this time.

• • We broke new ground with a Y2 Strings Project, jointly planned and funded with the Music Partnership. Two of our EDs, Gavin and Sophie, ran introductory weekly sessions on violin and cello for around 60 pupils in Buxton Infant and Harpur Hill Primary schools during the summer term. 20 pupils then attended a Play Day at the start of the summer holiday, several of whom have gone on to join a Beginner Ensemble or continue with subsidised small group lessons. We see this as a prototype for future recruitment programmes.

• In June we ran a second Big Sing, using lessons learnt the previous year. Experienced and well-known musician Tom Newall ran three workshops with the choirs in each of five primary schools, who then came together for final workshop and performance in St John’s Church. This time we have managed to promote and launch our own new Junior Choir in September on the back of this initiative.

• We were again invited by the Buxton International Festival to provide a red carpet group of string buskers to play on the Opera House forecourt prior to evening premieres. Unfortunately, a more substantial liaison with the Festival did not materialise as a result of staffing issues at their end.

In addition, we have now set up an Ambassador Scheme, initially with six very keen members. These are older players who provide additional support for PDMC activities by helping younger players at rehearsals, promoting PDMC in more public ways, and generally helping out at concerts and events.

PDMC is regularly able to demonstrate our reputation for nurturing young players and developing them into accomplished performers and, thanks to the skills and imagination of our EDs, for the high standards of ensemble playing achieved, even with reduced numbers. Our players audition successfully for the County Orchestra and Wind Band, and even for the National Youth Orchestra; and then go on to play in university orchestras. Many continue their music-making into adult life, whether in careers in professional music or in high performing amateur orchestras whilst pursuing a range of other careers. Some have returned to perform star solo roles in various public performances in the town.

A further significant achievement of the past year has been a real cementing of our relationship with schools across our patch. Our Engagement Projects, some great collaborative events and our networking efforts have had a major impact. Several of our parents, past and present, have key roles in local schools and their support has been invaluable; and the fact that one of our trustees is a local primary school headteacher with direct access to the local cluster of schools has been of enormous benefit.

Section E Financial review

Brief statement of the

charity’s policy on reserves

Details of any funds materially in deficit

A reserve roughly equal to two years’ funding from the Derbyshire Music Hub is retained; this currently stands at £40k and is reviewed annually. A restricted reserve, currently of approx. £6k, is available for bursaries to address hardship, with funds released only as qualifying costs are incurred. A further restricted reserve of approx. £32k is available to fund specific improvements and developments, approved by the trustees. There is also an unrestricted reserve of approx. £16k available to fund expenditure outside the scope of the restricted reserves, which is rapidly depleting. None.

Further financial review details (Optional information)

You may choose to include additional information, where relevant about:

• the charity’s principal sources of funds (including any fundraising);

• how expenditure has supported the key objectives of the charity;

• investment policy and objectives including any ethical investment policy adopted.

Our main sources of funding are the Derbyshire Music Hub grants; membership subscriptions; concert profits; donations; and other fundraising.

We operate a Friends Scheme to allow our supporters to make regular, gift-aided whenever possible, donations.

Our main expenditure is on the provision of ensemble venues, EDs and assistants, and administrative services.

A Virgin Money interest paying charity account is operated in order to maximise the return on reserve monies not immediately needed.

2.4 ASSETS Intangible fixed assets Heritage assets Support costs include central functions and have been allocated to activity cost categories on a basis consistent with the use of resources, eg allocating property costs by floor areas, or per capita, staff costs by the time spent and other costs by their usage. Grants with performance conditions Where the charity gives a grant with conditions for its payment being a specific level of service or output to be provided, such grants are only recognised in the SoFA once the recipient of the grant has provided the specified service or output. Grants payable without performance conditions Where there are no conditions attaching to the grant that enables the donor charity to realistically avoid the commitment, a liability for the full funding obligation must be recognised. The charity has intangible fixed assets, that is, non-monetary assets that do not have physical substance but are identifiable and are controlled by the charity through custody or legal rights. The amortisation rates and methods used are disclosed in note 9.5 They are valued at cost. The charity has heritage assets, that is, non-monetary assets with historic, artistic, scientific technological geophysical or environmental qualities that are held and This includes any realised or unrealised gains or losses on the sale of investments and any gain or loss resulting from revaluing investments to market value at the end of the year. Income from interest, royalties and dividends This is included in the accounts when receipt is probable and the amount receivable can be measured reliably. Income from membership subscriptions Membership subscriptions received in the nature of a gift are recognised in Donations and Legacies. Membership subscriptions which gives a member the right to buy services or other benefits are recognised as income earned from the provision of goods and services as income from charitable activities. 2.3 EXPENDITURE AND LIABILITIES Liability recognition Liabilities are recognised where it is more likely than not that there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to pay out resources and the amount of the obligation can be measured with reasonable certainty. Investment gains and losses The charity accounts for basic financial instruments on initial recognition as per paragraph 11.7 FRS102 SORP. Subsequent measurement is as per paragraphs 11.17 to 11.19, FRS102 SORP. Tangible fixed assets for use by charity The depreciation rates and methods used are disclosed in note 9.2. Governance and support costs Support costs have been allocated between governance costs and other support. Governance costs comprise all costs involving public accountability of the charity and its compliance with regulation and good practice. Settlement of insurance claims Insurance claims are only included in the SoFA when the general income recognition criteria are met (5.10 to 5.12 FRS102 SORP) and are included as an item of other income in the SoFA. They are valued at cost. Volunteer help These are capitalised if they can be used for more than one year, and cost at least £1,000 The value of any voluntary help received is not included in the accounts but is described in the trustees’ annual report. Redundancy cost The charity made no redundancy payments during the reporting period. Deferred income No material item of deferred income has been included in the accounts. Creditors The charity has creditors which are measured at settlement amounts less any trade discounts Provisions for liabilities A liability is measured on recognition at its historical cost and then subsequently measured at the best estimate of the amount required to settle the obligation at the reporting date Basic financial instruments		 Yes No N/a  Yes No N/a  Yes No N/a  Yes No N/a  Yes No N/a  Yes No N/a  Yes No N/a  Yes No N/a  Yes No N/a  Yes No N/a  Yes No N/a  Yes No N/a  Yes No N/a  Yes No N/a  Yes No N/a  Yes No N/a  Yes No N/a  Yes No N/a  Yes No N/a

scientific, technological, geophysical or environmental qualities that are held and maintained principally for their contribution to knowledge and culture. The depreciation rates and methods used as disclosed in note 9.6.1.4. They are valued at cost. Investments Fixed asset investments in quoted shares, traded bonds and similar investments are valued at initially at cost and subsequently at fair value (their market value) at the year end. The same treatment is applied to unlisted investments unless fair value cannot be measured reliably in which case it is measured at cost less impairment. Investments held for resale or pending their sale and cash and cash equivalents with a maturity date of less than 1 year are treated as current asset investments Stocks and work in Stocks held for sale as part of non-charitable trade are measured at the lower or cost or net progress realisable value. Goods or services provided as part of a charitable activity are measured at net realisable value based on the service potential provided by items of stock. Work in progress is valued at cost less any foreseeable loss that is likely to occur on the contract. Debtors (including trade debtors and loans receivable) are measured on initial recognition at Debtors settlement amount after any trade discounts or amount advanced by the charity. Subsequently, they are measured at the cash or other consideration expected to be received. The charity has has investments which it holds for resale or pending their sale and cash and Current asset cash equivalents with a maturity date less than one year. These include cash on deposit and investments cash equivalents with a maturity date of less than one year held for investment purposes rather than to meet short term cash commitments as they fall due. They are valued at fair value except where they qualify as basic financial instruments.

Independent Examiner’s report to the trustees of Peak District Music Centre CIO

I report on the accounts of the company for the year ended 31 August 2024.

Respective responsibilities of Trustees and Examiner

The trustees (who are also the directors of the company) are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144(2) of the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act) and that an Independent Examination is needed. The charity’s gross income has not exceeded £250,000. I am qualified to undertake the examination by being a qualified member of ICAEW.

Having satisfied myself that the charity is not subject to audit under company law and is eligible for independent examination, it is my responsibility to:

• Examine the accounts under section 145 of the 2011 Act

• Follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act

• State whether particular matters have come to my attention.

Basis of independent examiner’s report

My examination was carried out in accordance with the general Directions given by the Charity Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from you as trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a ‘true and fair view’ and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below.

Independent examiner’s statement

In connection with my examination, no matter have come to my attention:

1. Which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements:

2. To keep accounting records in accordance with section 386 of the Companies Act 2006

3. To prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records, comply with the accounting requirements of section 396 of the Companies Act 2006 and with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice: Accounting and Reporting by Charities

Have not been met; or

1. To which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
