YORKSHIRE YOUTH AND MUSIC LIMITED

TRUSTEES’ REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS’ REPORT) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025

The trustees present their annual report and financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2025.

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out in note 1 to the financial statements and comply with the charity's Memorandum and Articles of Association, the Companies Act 2006 and "Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of ireland (FRS 102)" (effective 1 January 2019).

Objectives and activities

Yorkshire Youth & Music is a community music and education company working across the whole of Yorkshire. We aim to be as diverse in both perspective and people as the communities we work in, and to reveal unheard talent, voices and stories. We offer high quality creation, participation and learning opportunities in music making and creative arts for disadvantaged young people in challenging circumstances, across all music styles, and according to young people’s needs and aspirations, alongside excellent training and development opportunities for musicians, teachers and others who work in young people’s music making and learning. Young people who participate in our projects make and learn about music that is relevant and meaningful to them. We encourage young people to explore, discover and find inspiration across all kinds of music and to widen their musical horizons and raise their aspirations. We want music making to be enjoyable, creative and for it to make a positive contribution to young people’s lives, and we find the best music creators, producers, instrumentalists, and singers to be our Music Leaders.

We address regional priorities and local needs through Yorkshire-wide partnership projects. We work in partnership with other music organisations, loca! authorities, arts venues, schools, children's centres, voluntary organisations, Arts Council England and Youth Music.

Public benefit

We use the Charity Commission's general guidance on public benefit when reviewing our aims and objectives and in planning our future activities. The trustees regularly review our Business Plan and consider how planned activities will contribute to the aims and objectives they have set, how they align with our values and how they contribute to our Vision; We want young people to be inspired to lead musical lives, because music makes lives better.

Significant activities

Our production facility in Huddersfield, Safe Space Studio, had its first full year of operation. At the beginning of the year it was in use three days a week, and this had increased to four days a week by March 2025. The studio is used by a young people from ali parts of Kirklees, who work with our Music Leaders to create original tracks, and cover songs by their favourite artists. They learn to play instruments; we have guitars, drum kits, keyboards, brass, woodwind and string instruments on offer. They also learn to work with the digital music-making equipment we have; synthesisers, drum pads, DJ decks and to use microphones, amps, interfaces and the professional standard software systems we have available.

The young people are often in residential care or foster homes, are neuro-divergent, attend a Pupil Referral Unit, or are under the supervision of Youth Justice or Youth Engagement Services; working with us, they're able to explore their creativity in a supportive environment, tell their stories and express their feelings.

At Dewsbury Moor we were asked to establish a music project for young people in an area of Kirklees has few local services and includes many low-income families. In particular, there was very little for young people to do once school was over. The project ran for most of the year; there were Mother and Baby sessions (‘Baby Disco’) in the early afternoon, followed drop-in after school sessions from 4-7 pm that young people could attend at a time they chose; some came straight from school, others came later. With DJ decks, keyboards, a drum kit, guitars and music software, and two music leaders, young people were abie to try their hand at music for the first time, and a few who had some previous experience were able to refresh and develop their skills. The sessions also provided drinks and sandwiches, for that all-important after school gap before tea.

In the Secure Children’s Homes Aldine House and Adel Beck, music continued to be a feature of everyday life for residents. Every new resident is offered the opportunity to make music, and most residents make the most of the offer. There were four music leaders with different skills working across both homes, so that young people could learn the music they wanted to learn, from making original music and writing their own raps, through learning to sing cover versions of their favourite artist's work, through to some serious guifar practice.

: Our visits continued all year to the Mother and Baby Units at HMPs New Hall and Askham Grange. Our musician made regular visits to each unit with her ukulele, shakers and puppets, encouraging babies and toddlers to shake, : rattle, roll (and sing!) with musical games and nursery rhymes. She also visited for Family Day visits when older : children who have a Mum in prison visit for an afternoon of activities. : At Wetherby Young Offenders Institution aur musician visited once every two weeks to work with groups of residents : on their music skills; learning production and editing skills, using Cubase software, learning to set up a live PA : system and sound engineer for each other’s performances. Some residents arrived with little or no previous music : experience, but for the most part they had good digital skills and understanding, which they were able to transfer to : digital music making quickly.

|

At Becton Centre, Chapel House School and Sheffield Children’s Hospital our musicians worked for three and a half days each week during term time. All the participants have significant health needs and Nexus Academy School supports their education in NHS settings. Our musicians visited wards and rooms in the Children’s Hospital and Becton Centre to offer music to young people who were very ill, and Chapel House School for young people who are medically unable to attend mainstream school.

: Our Refugee and Asylum Seeker project in Calderdale was in it’s final year, working in Calderdale College and Halifax Academy. At Calderdale College, young peopie made and released an EP, complete with artwork, of the : best songs they thought they'd made over the school year. At Halifax Academy the group formed a band, learning : 12 bar blues and other standard band forms so that they could make original work.

Achievements and performance

Significant activities and achievements against objectives

? Over the course of the year we reached over 570 young people, with well over 60% having a minimum of 5 sessions and around 35% having more than 20 sessions. : There were many factors affecting young people’s ability to access music-making, which our music leaders worked ; hard to overcome with imaginative activities and endless care. They included physical or mental ill-health, being Looked After, at risk of criminal exploitation, being neuro-divergent, having a learning or physical disability, needing protection fram others, being an asylum seeker or refugee, or being a young offender. Many young people had : more than one factor affecting their life. We provided 13 music leaders with regular paid work, including 5 who were new to YY&M. Of those, 3 were female, ; 10 male, and 1 trans. Almost all were white, with 6 in their 20s, 4 in their 30s and 3 over 40. Over the course of the year our music leaders were paid over £155,000, delivering almost 800 full days of music making to disadvantaged : young people across the region. | We received anonymous donations and grant funding that enabled us to invest in new equipment, inciuding an : Ableton Push controller, an additional set of DJ Decks, a Drum Pad and mini-synthesiser. We also received

We received anonymous donations and grant funding that enabled us to invest in new equipment, inciuding an Ableton Push controller, an additional set of DJ Decks, a Drum Pad and mini-synthesiser. We also received donations of instruments including a drum kit, guitars and amps, and an electric violin.

.

As in previous years, many of the young people who came to us had missed substantial parts of formal education and had limited social and community engagement. We supported them to re-engage with formal learning, finding courses and institutions they could apply to, and working with others as they found their first employment.
