Structure, Governance and Trustees
Over The Hill Music Collective which is registered as a charity with the Charity Commission
for Northern Ireland, was incorporated as a company limited by guarantee in Northern
Ireland, registration number N1632636, with the objective of undertaking charitable
activities for the benefit of the inhabitants of Northern Ireland.
OverThe Hill provides a platform for older musicians to come together to perform,
collaborate and learn about the music industry. We offer the opportunity to work together
regardless of age race or religion and provide a safe and welcoming setting for people to
express themselves creatively. This is done once per month at the Oh Yeah Music Centre.
We also provide people the opportunity to record their music, tour and play external gigs
throughout Nl. Over the Hill also works with people with Dementia and provides live music
which enables people to enjoy music and to use this as a platform and vehicle to
reminiscence. This work causes no harm to any of the people we work with, and has very
ositive outcomes noted above.
Activities and Achievements
Over The Hill on consultation with its members decided not to deliver face to face meetings
in this financial year. Several meetings were again held over Zoom and there were
numerous conference calls and personal calls between member5. Many noted they did not
want to physically meet up.
OTH Musicians/facilitators were commissioned to work on several Arts and Older people's
projects with both Oh Yeah Music Centre and The Golden thread Gallery. These were
working with people with dementia as well as Carers. This resulted in doing reminiscence
work, providing live music and writing songs.
OTH continued with its programme of Christmas workshops provided to day centres and
within clinical settings for 10 groups. This was at not cost to any groups.
OTH helped support the Refugee Guitar club working alongside both Oh Yeah and Beyond
skin. Weekly support was provided to over 35 people per week. R'n'R workshop also
provide renovated donated guitars to rnembers.

Trustee5' Annual Report (Incorporating the Director's Report) (continued)
Activities and Achievements Continued...
Thanks to Gordon Hewitt at the Community Arts Partnership OTH has had several reviews
and interviews about our work in this year.
Paul continues to be the main driver of operational work.
A statement that the Trustees have had regard to the Commlsslon's Public Beneflt
requirement;
Over the Hill Music Collective strives to be open and transparent in all its work. It welcomes
all to its monthly meetings and performances and hopes to provide a setting where older
voices can be heard and be part of a musical community. We try and improve skills, reduce
isolation and provide knowledge. Our work provides music workshops for people with
dementia and feedback form these sessions from residential care centres, staff and family
members has been very positive. The work Over the Hill does no harm to communities and
allows people to develop themselves as creatives.
Flnanclal Posltlon
Over The Hill had been looking at several opportunities for new financial support. It hoped
to gain core support for its work to enable it to keep working with Chip Bailey. Sadly we
were not successful in achieving that this year again. Due to the high demand for funding
we have been unsuecceful for several major funding applications. From this stance it was
decided to maintain our no face to face meetings and concentrate on working with older
people and refugees.
We gratefully acknowledge the support from the Black Santa Sit Out Appeal which enables
to carry out our core activities.
Although our fundraising was reduced this year we were never in deficit. We continued to
put on hold all of physical meeting activities, which has effectively frozen our finances
{excluding core admin activities).
Financial Review
The results for the year ended 31 July 2023 are set out on pages 8 and 9 of the financial
The total income for the year ended 31 July 2023 amounted to £3,26412022..£6,8681. The

The Trustees consider that the unrestricted funds of the charity is sufficient and adequate to
fulfil their obligations. The charity held £4,284 in reserves at the year end {2022: £3,895).
Reserves Policy
The income of the Company is considered adequate and the risks associated with any
signif ica nt red uction in income is regarded as u nlikely. The Trustees are satisfied with the
current level of reserves at the present time. The Trustees are reviewing the Reserves Policy
in the current year.
