RICHARD SHEPHARD MUSIC FOUNDATION
CHAIRMAN’S REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2023
Chairman’s Report for the year ended 31 August 2023
The Foundation was established following the death of Dr Richard Shephard in 2021. Its main objective is to increase musical opportunities for young children, so they can experience the great many educational, health, and wellbeing benefits that music can bring.
We have plenty to celebrate from the Foundation’s second full year of activity.
We have been able to extend our programme delivering music in schools from 12 to 22 primary schools. This meant that by the end of August 2023, over 5,000 children in the region were receiving a subsidised weekly music lesson. We hope to increase this to over 10,000 by 2026.
We have also been able to grow our programme of music holiday clubs and choirs with over 1,400 children being involved in our extracurricular music activities during this reporting period. In partnership with Ryedale Festival, children from Ryedale schools attended the newly established Ryedale Primary Choir and performed as part of the Festival.
Added to that, our annual Make Music Day involved 264 children taking part in five workshops with professional musicians at the Creative Centre at York St John University and including performances in the Chapter House of York Minster.
As well as the benefits for individual children, we believe that we can start to generate rich social, cultural, and economic benefits in our region.

In July 2022, the revised National Plan for Music Education recommended children have at least one hour of music per week (preferably delivered by a music specialist), access to instrument tuition, a choir and performance opportunities. The ambitions lie at the heart of what we are already supporting schools to achieve.
This year, we have increased the level of evaluation of our work, to incorporate school leader and pupil surveys, independent lesson observations, and recorded interviews.
We are encouraged that school leaders reported improvements in the musical activity in their schools and scored us 9.9 out of 10 in terms of whether they would recommend other schools to join our programme. Our independent lesson observations rated the vast majority of sessions, as ‘Outstanding’ in all aspects.

CHAIRMAN’S REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2023
Our team is growing, with a new Head of Development & Engagement who started in September 2023. Through our contract with Sing Education (who recruit and train music specialists and deliver music in our schools), we have now been able to offer permanent teaching jobs to seven musicians and a manager to oversee their development. We also have a network of talented, inspiring freelance musicians, who we use to deliver some of our activities.
We have a small team of committed volunteers who are vital to the smooth running of our larger events, and we intend to develop further volunteer opportunities as we grow.
This work would not have been possible without the vision of the late Dr Richard Shephard, the donors who have generously supported the Foundation, our partner organisations, especially Sing Education, and the schools on our programme. We owe you all a debt of gratitude and are pleased to have had another successful year working together.

RICHARD SHEPHARD MUSIC FOUNDATION
TRUSTEES’ ANNUAL REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2023
Objectives and Activities
The principal objects as stated in the governing document are to advance the musical education of children and young people in Yorkshire and such other areas as the trustees shall from time to time determine, by enhancing the knowledge, experience, enjoyment, understanding and performance of music, including through some or all of tuition, master-classes, events, concerts and the use of assistive technology.
The Trustees believe they have complied with the duty in section 17(5) of the Charities Act 2011 to have due regard to guidance published by the Charity Commission in regard to public benefit.
Achievements and Performance
In our previous report we outlined plans for 2022/2023 – here is an update of what’s been achieved:
| Objective for 2022/2023 stated in last year’s report | Update |
|---|---|
| Increase the Schools Programme to reach 5,000 children |
Achieved |
| Events in 2023, such as Make Music Day and the Ryedale Festival, will allow children further performance opportunities. A Ryedale Primary Choir will be introduced, in partnership with the Ryedale Festival, and a programme of music holiday clubs will continue. |
All achieved in full - In total 1,400 children were involved in out of school community music activities and clubs. |
| A review of governance policies and procedures (undertaken during 2021/22) was an opportunity to reflect on the governance arrangements of the young organisation, ensure compliance in all compulsory areas, and map out a series of actions for the coming year. During 2022/23 an induction programme will be introduced for new trustees and a series of policies will be put in place to reflect the growing organisation. |
A full set of appropriate policies were adopted by the Trustees and made active by the Foundation. New trustees and staff received formal induction sessions. |
| A session focussing on the Foundation’s strategy, to be held in early 2023, will look to inform a longer term (3 year) business plan, help to focus the charity’s resources and establish the future direction. It will include a long- term fundraising strategy and an assessment of opportunities and challenges. |
The strategy session was held and formed the basis of the new three year business plan for 2023-2026. See more detail below. |
| A scheme to promote regular giving will be set up during 2022/23 and the Foundation participated in the Big Give Christmas campaign in December 2022. |
All achieved. The regular giving scheme is now active. The Big Give campaign raised almost £5,000 and will be rolled out again in December 2023 with a larger target of £10,000. |

TRUSTEES’ ANNUAL REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2023
Plans for Future Periods
September 2023 marked the start of a refreshed three-year business plan. Our primary aim is to sustain and grow our work in schools and communities. Specifically:
- To deliver subsidised music lessons in primary schools for over 10,000 young people by 2026.
2023/24 target: delivering music to 6,500 children 2024/25 target: delivering music to 8,500 children 2025/26 target: delivering music to 10,500 children
-
To increase the impact and breadth of our community music activities, clubs, and choirs further to support our Schools Programme – focusing particularly on the areas of our region where young people have the greatest financial and geographical barriers to music.
-
To work with partners to guide children towards opportunities to continue their musical journey from 11+ (such as secondary school music, local choirs, bands, ensembles and orchestras, music hub services, and other music projects).
Financial Review
During 2022/2023, our level of income broadly matched our expenditure at just over £330,000. We saw significant growth in income and expenditure on our Schools Programme, bringing our income from charitable activities up to around 40% of total income, with the remainder being from grants and donations.
The total funds held by the Charity at 31 August 2023 amounted to £294,036 of which £3,180 related to restricted reserves. Funds totalling £160,000 have been designated towards the cost of supporting the Schools Programme over the next two years. Free reserves, being unrestricted, undesignated funds not tied up in fixed assets, amounted to £130,856.
In Autumn 2023 we launched an awareness campaign aimed at helping us reach our target of bringing weekly music to over 10,000 children by 2026. Our funding strategy for the coming 3 years sees a proactive move towards a more balanced funding mix, ensuring the continuity, sustainability, and growth of our programmes.
Like many charities, we will always be dependent in part on fundraising and grants so we have chosen to invest in additional fundraising resource and, during 2023/24, will seek both to increase our level of multiyear grants and to secure further our burgeoning funding partnerships.
The following table shows how we’re moving from reliance on private donations (initially given in memory of Dr Richard Shephard) to a more sustainable income from a variety of grants and partnerships.
| 2020/2021 (pre-launch/staff) | 2021/2022 | 2022/2023* |
|---|---|---|
| 100% Private Donors | 7% Charitable Activities 31% Private Donors 39% Trusts & Foundations 5% Gift Aid 18% Legacies, Royalties and Other Income |

Reserves policy
The Trustees have agreed that the target level of reserves should be limited to six months’ running costs, as adjusted for amounts already allocated toward the following year’s Schools Programme. In the current period these costs would be in the order of £132,000. Free reserves, being unrestricted, undesignated funds not committed to fixed assets, amounted to £130,856.

TRUSTEES’ ANNUAL REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2023
Statement of Trustees’ Responsibilities
Charity law requires the Trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the charity’s financial activities during the year and of its financial position at the end of the year. In preparing the financial statements, the Trustees are required to:
-
select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
-
make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
-
state whether applicable Accounting Standards and Statements of Recommended Practice have been followed, subject to any departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; and
-
prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in operation.
The Trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy the financial position of the charity and which enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011. They are responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER’S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF

I report to the trustees on my examination of the accounts of Richard Shephard Music Foundation for the year ended 31 August 2023.
This report is made solely to the Charity's Trustees, as a body, in accordance with Section 154 of the Charities Act 2011. My independent examination work has been undertaken so that I might state to the Charity's Trustees those matters I am required to state to them in an Independent Examiner's Report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, I do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the Charity and the Charity's Trustees as a body, for my independent examination work, for this report, or for the opinions I have formed.
Responsibilities and basis of report
As the charity trustees of the Charity you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 (‘the Act’).
I report in respect of my examination of the Charity’s accounts carried out under section 145 of the 2011 Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed all the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act.
Independent examiner’s statement
Since the Charity’s gross income exceeded £250,000 your examiner must be a member of a body listed in section 145 of the 2011 Act. I confirm that I am qualified to undertake the examination because I am a member of the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales, which is one of the listed bodies.
I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect:
-
accounting records were not kept in respect of the Charity as required by section 130 of the Act; or
-
the accounts do not accord with those records; or
-
the accounts do not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 other than any requirement that the accounts give a ‘true and fair view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination.
I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
