Fanfare Milton Keynes Trustees Report 1[st] September 2024 to 31[st] August 2025
Structure, Governance and Management:

The Board of Trustees currently consists of 4 parent/former parent trustees and in December 2024 Fanfare appointed 2 addi�onal trustees represen�ng the Milton Keynes Music Service and The Milton Keynes Music Co-opera�ve. The trustees as of 19[th] December 2024 are Imogen Allen

Principal Ac�vi�es:
The object of the charity is to advance the musical educa�on of children residing in Milton Keynes in par�cular but not exclusively by administering a bursary fund to support families with financial hardship to access music tui�on at Milton Keynes Music Service, part of the BLMK Music Hub.
Administrative Work:
Fanfare set up an agreement with the MK Music Service regarding how we work together on bursaries and other Fanfare funded ac�vi�es.
We created policies and procedures around Safeguarding, Health and Safety, Financial Management, Conflict of Interest, Data Protec�on and Reten�on, EDI and Social Media.
Coffee Shop Related Work:
Milton Keynes Music Centre ac�vi�es. A considerable amount of work has gone into formalising the Safeguarding and Health and Safety procedures of the shop, and to provide a point of contact for parents/carers, musicians and teachers wishing to discuss Fanfare ac�vity.
Fundraising Ac�vity
a Concert organised by Music Centre students. We have also completed registra�on with HMRC so that we can collect Gi� Aid on future dona�ons and made dona�on informa�on available to the Music Centre community, including se�ng up an account with easyfundraising.
Planning for Funded Charitable Activity
Bursaries:
