AcfiviTIES
Musically we have had a very successful session. Over the past year our fourteen staff have worked wlth around
130 childrèn frcrn 34 prlmary and 115econdary schools. Pupi15 have taken part in the Bridgeton Burns
Competition, the Trades House Robert Burns Festival, the Glasgow Music Festlval, and our own Chrlstmas and
Summer Concerts. After somè excellent competltlon results. once agaln some of our puplls were invited to
represent Glasgow in the Natlonal Burns competition and performed extremely well. These actlvitles are over
and above the indlvSéual lessons, two singing sessions, vocal ensemble, two recorder ensembles and orchestra
which continue to run each week. Our new Mini Music School class for Primary l and 2 children ha5 continued to
be popular this year, atthough a forced change of tlme has resulted in reduced number5 whlch we plan to review
for next sesslon.
FUNDING
Funding ha5 continued to be a huge challenge th15 year. De5plte applyln8 for various grants to replace our
previous regular funding, we were only able to secure a 5rnall number, whith didn't cover all of our outgolngs for
the year, To mitigate thls we reduced our number of tutors from sixteen to fourteen and re-organised some
classes to ensure minimum impart on our pupils. In additlon, our team of volunteers organised various
fundraislng attivities IncludlnB bake sales, kiltwalks and our weekly tuckshop. In order to allow more time for
flnding new fundlnE opportunitSes we set up a Crowdfunder whlch was generously supported and allowed us to
meet our commitments for the end of the session, Our contlnued efforts to find funding Options for next session
have begun to pay off with grants pledged from previou5 5UPPOrters suth a5 Hugh Fraser and Glasgow Care
Foundation but also new supporters includin8 the Bellahouston Benevolent Fund and Eilidh's Trust. We are
extremely grateful to all our funders and all our volunteers who have spent many hours researchlng and apptylng
for grants. Thelr efforts mean that we will be in a position to re-open in September 2024.
The x¢ounts for the year are attad)ed. and fom) part of thi5 report.
