Ms Angela Alonso Mr Ashley Fulton Mr Conor Maxwell Dr Norman Cairns Mrs Astrid King Mr David Rutherford Ms Kate Coyle Mr Kevin McEnoy Ms Nicola Wilson

Structure, governance and management

The college is a registered charity and legally constituted as a Trust. The college is managed on a day to day basis by an administrator, an assistant administrator and a bookkeeper, who are in turn responsible to The Management Committee. This committee is made up of tutors, parents and students of the college.

Public benefit

Ulster College of Music meets the Public Benefit as follows:

Advancement of education

The college's objectives are to promote the advancement of education through the promotion, development, maintenance and study, teaching and practice of music and dramatic art in Northern Ireland.

Advancement of the Arts and Culture

The Ulster College of Music meets this purpose by engaging students in musical activities and performing concerts to the public.

It is well established that students of the arts - of all ages - learn to think creatively and to solve problems. Musical training helps develop brain areas involved in language and reasoning. Playing an instrument requires students to work with others, developing valuable team skills which can be carried over into all aspects of their lives. Since learning an instrument takes time and effort, our students learn patience and perseverance. Feedback from students and their parents tells us that playing music leads to higher concentration levels, improved coordination, reduced stress levels and better social and listening skills. Musical performance is an important tool that leads to improved self-expression which, once again, transfers into all aspects of life. The College Trustees and Tutors believe that playing an instrument, singing or acting promotes confidence, self-esteem, improved mental health and leads to greater contentment.

Donations

We received another generous donation of £2,500 from Alastair Nelson. We have spent this on a new professional lever harp and a harp trolley.

Stefanie Bell included a legacy in her will to award the Derek Fleetwood Bell scholarship annually to a deserving student at the Ulster College of Music. We are very grateful to Stefanie Bell for her generosity and for the opportunities this will provide to future musicians.

The National Lottery Fund awarded us a grant of £4,282 in October 2024 to run the Community Keyboard classes for two more years. We are very grateful for this funding.

Mary Higgins donated a piano as well as £300 for refurbishing it. We are very grateful to have this instrument for our new proposed teaching room next year.

In October 2024 we received £50 gift aid from HMRC

Achievements and performance

The College provides music and drama lessons to people of all ages from all nationalities, social and religious backgrounds. We welcome students from all the equal opportunities groups based on race, gender, age, sexual orientation, gender reassignment, disability, religion or belief, pregnancy and marital status. We provide individual lessons, group tuition, children's classes and GCSE and A-level music. The Chamber Music Class is a truly inclusive group of musicians from primary school to pension age. Our Musical Fun Foundation Course starts with Mini Music for the youngest children and progresses to Musical Games for the school age children. Many adults enjoy taking up lessons for the first time to learn a new skill or take up an instrument once more which they had not played for a while. We conduct lessons at times that suit people's busy lives - including afternoons, evenings and weekends.

Our Easter Recital on 16th March 2024 was very well attended and raised £21.97 towards expenses.

The End of Year recital was held at St. Thomas Parish Church on 8th June 2024. Ticket sales raised £336. The costs of putting on the recital were £300.86 for piano tuning, accompanist’s fees and refreshments.

The three Christmas recitals on 14th December 2024 were very well received. Donations: £2.62. Expenses for refreshments and accompanist’s fees £166.67

Our annual carol concert at the Kennedy Centre on 21[st] December 2024 was very enjoyable and raised £159.22. Thank you to the Chamber Music Group and their families who helped with the collection box and jingle bells for making it such a successful event.

The Chamber Music Group performed in Glencraig Camphill Community on 23[rd] November 2024. Our soloists played very well and the audience enjoyed the concert. We received a donation of £300 to add to our refugee bursary fund.

Tutors and Administrators

We engage services of highly qualified and experienced tutors from all over the world and make this expertise available and affordable to as many people as possible. We are very pleased that the following tutors have joined us:

Oksana Churikova started teaching piano in September 2024, Maebh Martin started teaching violin and viola in September 2024, Grainne Meyer started teaching harp in October 2024, Kristina Hedley joined as bassoon and clarinet tutor in January 2025 and Conor Masterson joined as violin tutor February 2025.

We would like to thank the tutors who have left for their contribution to the College: Nathan Howe, clarinet, (left June 2024, Neil McErlean, violin, (left June 2024), Ruth Millar, harp, (left October 2024), David Preston, guitar (left December 2024)

We would like to thank our administrators, Patricia Pepper and Emily Knowles and our bookkeeper, Paul Megarity for their wonderful work. They make the College a pleasant place to visit and work in, ensure excellent communication and keep on top of a very diverse range of duties.

We are very fortunate to have an excellent cleaner, Monika Konik, who has been keeping the College beautifully clean for over a decade.

Founding Principles

The College's philosophy reflects that of its founder Daphne Bell MBE, Hon. FTCL LRAM LTCL - that music should be accessible to all and we work hard to achieve this. 4 bursaries are available to some

families and students who may otherwise not be able to afford music lessons. One bursary is available for a refugee to allow them to restart their music education. We have been fortunate to get nearly continuous finding for the Community Keyboard Skills class for a few years. This allows free access to music to people from diverse backgrounds, including refugees.

The wellbeing of children and young people is of the greatest importance to all the tutors and staff as well as the trustees of the College and our designated child protection officer arranges Access NI checks and child protection training for tutors and staff. Our designated officer is Miss Sheila Kerr. All our tutors have attended child protection and fire safety training courses and we have designated fire wardens on every floor of the building.

Maintenance

During the summer break and at other times volunteers helped with repairing window sills and surrounds, washing carpets, repairing toilets, cleaning PVC, replacing lights, decorating and carpeting Ulster Orchestra room after water damage as well as gardening and line painting in the car park.Thank you to all the volunteers for their time and hard work.

J.B. McCoy Building and Decorating Service was engaged to fit boards to level the floor in Ulster Orchestra room, fix the front door and fire escape door and paint the outside window sills. The cost was £2,328.

Financial review

The College received a total income of £257,331 for the year 2024 from which there was a surplus of £31,007. Reserve as 31st December 2024 totalled £199,092.

Plans for future periods

The college will continue to focus on enhancing the range of music tuition to be offered to students. As the building is often fully booked we are planning to add an extra teaching room by converting the garage into a sound proof studio. Planning permission has been applied for.

We have booked J.B. McCoy to replace the roof, including fascia and soffit boards and fit snow guards over the front door for safety during the summer of 2025. We may fit solar panels at the same time, providing planning permission is granted.

Statement of Trustees' Responsibilities

The trustees are responsible for preparing the trustees' report and the financial statements in accordance with the United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice) and applicable law and regulations.

The law applicable to charities requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and of the incoming resources and application of resources of the charity for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the trustees are required to:

• select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;

• observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP;

• make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;

• state whether applicable accounting standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; and

• prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in business.

The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011, the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008, and the provisions of the constitution. The trustees are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

Independent Examiner's Report to the trustees of Ulster College of Music

I report to the trustees on my examination of the accounts of Ulster College of Music for the year ended 31 December 2024.

Responsibilities and basis of report

As the charity’s trustees of Ulster College of Music you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act (Northern Ireland) 2008 (‘the Act’).

Having satisfied myself that the charity is not subject to audit under company law, and is eligible for independent examination, it is my responsibility to:

• examine the accounts under section 65 of the Charities Act (Northern Ireland) 2008;

• follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity Commission for Northern Ireland under section 65(9)(b) of the Charities Act; and

• state whether particular matters have come to my attention.

Basis of independent examiner’s report

My examination was carried out in accordance with the general directions given by the Charity Commission for Northern Ireland under section 65(9)(b) of the Charities Act. The examination included a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts and seeking explanations from you as charity trustees concerning any such matters.

My role is to state whether any material matters have come to my attention giving me cause to believe:

1. That accounting records were not kept in accordance with section 386 of the Companies Act 2006;

2. That the accounts do not accord with those accounting records;

3. That the accounts do not comply with the accounting requirements of section 396 of the Companies Act 2006 and with the methods and principles of the 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; and

4. That there is further information needed for a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

Independent examiner’s statement

I have completed my examination and have no concerns in respect of the matters (1) to (4) listed above and, in connection with following the Directions of the Charity Commission for Northern Ireland, I have found no matters that require drawing to your attention.

1 Accounting policies

General information

The charity is a public benefit entity and a registered charity in Northern Ireland and is unincorporated. The address of the principal office is 13 Windsor Avenue, Belfast, County Antrim, BT9 6EE.

Statement of compliance

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the second edition of the Charities Statement of Recommended Practice issued in October 2019, the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Charities Act 2011.

Basis of preparation

Ulster College of Music meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102. The accounts (financial statements) have been prepared under the historical cost convention with items recognised at cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant note(s) to these accounts.

Going concern

Ulster College of Music

Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 December 2024 (continued)

Incoming resources

All incoming resources are included in the statement of financial activities when entitlement has passed to the charity; it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the charity and the amount can be reliably measured. The following specific policies are applied to particular categories of income:

• income from donations or grants is recognised when there is evidence of entitlement to the gift, receipt is probable and its amount can be measured reliably.

• legacy income is recognised when receipt is probable and entitlement is established.

• income from donated goods is measured at the fair value of the goods unless this is impractical to measure reliably, in which case the value is derived from the cost to the donor or the estimated resale value. Donated facilities and services are recognised in the accounts when received if the value can be reliably measured. No amounts are included for the contribution of general volunteers.

• income from contracts for the supply of services is recognised with the delivery of the contracted service. This is classified as unrestricted funds unless there is a contractual requirement for it to be spent on a particular purpose and returned if unspent, in which case it may be regarded as restricted.

Resources expended

Expenditure is recognised on an accruals basis as a liability is incurred. Expenditure includes any VAT which cannot be fully recovered, and is classified under headings of the statement of financial activities to which it relates:

• expenditure on raising funds includes the costs of all fundraising activities, events, non-charitable trading activities, and the sale of donated goods.

• expenditure on charitable activities includes all costs incurred by a charity in undertaking activities that further its charitable aims for the benefit of its beneficiaries, including those support costs and costs relating to the governance of the charity apportioned to charitable activities.

• other expenditure includes all expenditure that is neither related to raising funds for the charity nor part of its expenditure on charitable activities.

All costs are allocated to expenditure categories reflecting the use of the resource. Direct costs attributable to a single activity are allocated directly to that activity. Shared costs are apportioned between the activities they contribute to on a reasonable, justifiable and consistent basis.

Tangible fixed assets

All fixed assets are initially recorded at cost.

Page 12

Ulster College of Music

Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 December 2024 (continued)

Depreciation and amortisation

Depreciation is calculated so as to write off the cost or valuation of an asset, less its residual value, over the useful economic life of that asset as follows:

the useful economic life of that asset as follows:
Asset class	Depreciation method and rate
Land and buildings	2% straight line
Fixtures and fittings	25% reducing balance

Trade debtors

Trade debtors are amounts due from customers for merchandise sold or services performed in the ordinary course of business.

Trade debtors are recognised initially at the transaction price. They are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less provision for impairment. A provision for the impairment of trade debtors is established when there is objective evidence that the charity will not be able to collect all amounts due according to the original terms of the receivables.

Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand and call deposits, and other short-term highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to a known amount of cash and are subject to an insignificant risk of change in value.

Trade creditors

are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of business from suppliers. Accounts payable are classified as current liabilities if the does not have an unconditional right, at the end of the reporting period, to defer settlement of the creditor for at least twelve months after the reporting date. If there is an unconditional right to defer settlement for at least twelve months after the reporting date, they are presented as non-current liabilities.

are recognised initially at the transaction price and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

Defined contribution plans

Contributions to defined contribution plans are recognised as an expense in the period in which the related service is provided. Prepaid contributions are recognised as an asset to the extent that the prepayment will lead to a reduction in future payments or a cash refund.

When contributions are not expected to be settled wholly within 12 months of the end of the reporting date in which the employees render the related service, the liability is measured on a discounted present value basis. The unwinding of the discount is recognised as an expense in the period in which it arises.
