DDMIX

The Report of the Trustees

The trustees present their report and the audited financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2023

DDMIX Trust aims to enable the British education system to experience and thus recognise, the multiple mental and physical benefits that our children gain by doing a simple, fun, inclusive, diverse, ‘do it anywhere in the school’ dance fitness programs.

During 2023 we continued to ensure that interventions were effective.

Primary project change made during the period:

Increased free online provision of service

Secondary project changes made during the period:

Delay of objectives set in 2020 by two years from FY year end 2024 to 2026 due to Covid

Adjustment of cost base of team members onto part time basis, better matching revenue and dance teacher status

DDmix was able to take its experience and apply it more meaningfully to the UK school sector. Adjusting to the reality that primary school teachers are not willing, in sufficient numbers, to learn basic movement to music moves in order to lead their students in in dance fitness, we augmented our service with an online service of DDmix with live classes and a free plug and play option available to all schools, so that they could use the DDmix dance fitness program as seamlessly and as widely as possible. DDmix decided to use technology and go for volume at the expense of price. This has proved successful with the number of primary school students gaining the benefits of DDmix increasing from 1200 to 60,000

Our 2023/4 Objectives working on a five year project plan

One: 100,000 primary school students do DDmix at least once in a 12 month period.

Two: We reach 400 participatory schools in one 12 month period

Three: DDmix continues to ensure that evaluation data is incorporated in its stages of growth.

Participatory / Active schools. Our definition of an active school is one where they are either paying for the schemes of work and inset, have asked for an assembly participatory event, downloaded the plug and play or are a funded school with peripatetic teaching. At the start these numbered 22, and have grown annually to 40 (Dec 2022), 114 (Dec 2023)

General Awareness was wide ranging and thanks to Darcey’s profile, well exceeded any normal five person team. Awareness events have included but are not restricted to: BETT Education show at ExCel London National Education Show Cardiff, Mental Health Show Wales, RAD Schools event, Anthropy at Eden project, Summer challenge, Youth Sports Trust, two speeches in the Houses of Parliament.
