The Report of the Trustees
The trustees present their report and the audited financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2024
DDMIX Trust uses dance fitness to improve student wellbeing (founded by Dame Darcey Bussell DBE in 2014), specifically designed for state schools. With greater activity in school life comes a much larger pool of children interested in sport, arts and having the confidence to explore their own creativity in other fields. This will have a lasting impact for our society. The many benefits for both physical and mental health are clear to see and research has shown that if a child engages in physical activity by the age of 8, they are more likely to continue this into secondary school and later life.
During 2024 we continued to ensure that interventions were effective.
Primary project change made during the period: Further increased free online provision of service
Secondary project changes made during the period:
Decrease 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 in order to continue on our impact growth path in the UK school sector. Adjusting by putting more focus on providing free resources to schools and raising awareness of the importance of physical activity.
When DDMIX decided to use technology and go for volume at the expense of price the number of primary school students gaining the benefits of DDMIX increased from 1,200 to 63,000 in 2024.
Participatory / Active schools. Our definition of an active school is one where they are either paying for the schemes of work and inset (memberships), 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) and 114 (Dec 2023). In the year to December 2024 this number has increased to 264 of which 50 schools have current memberships, 170 are plug and play sign ups, 44 other.
In 2024 we adjusted our objectives going forwards to work on our Project 100 for 2025 as a bonus year after 10 years and a final year of DDMIX Trust as a charity.
Our 2025 Objectives
To: Engage 100,000 primary school students in DDMIX dance fitness activities in the UK.
To: Engage 400 active primary schools using DDMIX dance fitness activities in the UK.
