## Fanfare Milton Keynes Trustees Report 1[st] September 2024 to 31[st] August 2025 ## Structure, Governance and Management: Fanfare Milton Keynes (herea�er referred to as Fanfare) was established as a Charitable Incorporate Organisa�on by adop�on of a cons�tu�on in February 2024. There was a minor amendment made in 2025 to reflect the change in name of the Milton Keynes Music Service. 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 Thomas Barlex Christopher Jolly Sonya Jolly Giles Liddiard (MK Music Service) and Margaret Smith (MK Music Co-op). ## 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: Keynes Music Service, we adver�sed to both the Music Centre community and Music Teachers. Presenta�ons were made in both a Saturday morning engagement session and at concerts. We will also be a�ending the Milton Keynes Music Coopera�ve AGM in September 2025. Workshops: experience of making music as a group, with a view to providing follow up ac�vi�es at the Music Centre. During the first half of 2025, we iden�fied an provider of percussion, par�cularly body percussion, workshops; had conversa�ons with them to understand be�er their offer, costs and logis�cs; iden�fied the schools in a par�cular area of Milton Keynes that are not currently receiving Music Service provided ac�vi�es and wrote to the heads of these schools. promo�on of our object. ## Financial Review: the concert run by students. All spending has been related to the Coffee Shop, including stock, safeguarding and health and safety related spending. ## Future Plans: ## We will: - review the take up of bursaries for 2025/26, - follow up on workshops, - develop the website, - produce adver�sing materials and increase our social media presence, - make contact with head teachers/chief execu�ves of Milton Keynes schools and generally work at spreading the word about Fanfare with a view to increasing uptake of ac�vity and raising funds. - develop policies and procedures for complaints, serious incidents, internal risk management, bullying and harassment and engaging external contractors. - review Safeguarding, Financial and Bursary policies.
