The Jam Place CIO
Trustees’ Annual Report for the year ending 31 August 2025
The Trustees present their report for the year ended 31[st] August 2025.
Structure, Governance and Management
The Jam Place CIO was registered as a charity on 18[th] October 2024, having previously operated as The Jam Place CIC. All assets and liabilities from The Jam Place CIC were brought into The Jam Place CIO on creation.
Objectives and Activities
The Jam Place CIO is a community based charity that uses joyful and creative expression to instil confidence in and empower young people. This is carried out principally through dance and movement lessons, including for young people with Special Educational Needs.
Since April 2023, the Charity has benefited from a peppercorn rent on a building owned by Columbia Threadneedle, on a 30 day rolling lease, for which we are very grateful. No financial recognition of this has been given of this in these accounts as the Charity would not have chosen to lease an entire building if this arrangement had not been in place; previously rooms for our classes were hired on a per hour basis.
Trustees
The Trustees who served during the financial year were:
Catherine Sullivan
Rebecca Yelland
Linda Smith
Karen Deadmarsh
Achievements and performance
The year to August 2025 was our second year in Hamilton House, and based in North Leatherhead. We continued to expand our specialist SEN dance classes and build relationships with other charitable and educational organisations in the area. We hope to continue to strengthen these relationships in the coming year. We have also increased our fundraising activities, including hiring out of the building to local businesses (principally local government, and charities) and putting on our first dedicated fundraising event; a Christmas Fair in December 2023.
In May 2025 the decision was taken to discontinue our general dance classes, to focus more fully on our SEN provision. From September 2025 we will be working solely with children and young people with additional educational needs.
Our SEN classes are the only provision of their kind in the area, with families travelling up to 30 miles to attend. We work hard to subsidise these classes to enable wider participation, charging only a nominal fee to the families.

Independent examiner’s statement
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.
