| SCVO Model SCIO Constitution (single-tier) | ||
| The initial trustee recruitment was conducted through a process of contacting musicians who were active in Edinburgh’s local music education and performance scene and who have been long-time supporters of Youth Music Initiative projects in and around the city of Edinburgh. All current Board members have a deep conviction to support access to music and the arts for underrepresented groups. Subsequent appointments will follow the guidance set out in our constitution. With the constitution in mind, appointments will be made by: 1. Identifying gaps in existing trustee skills/experience and opportunities for charity growth. 2. Identifying potential candidates who can help develop the charity. 3. Approaching potential candidates to join the Board of Trustees. No external organisation is entitled to appoint charitytrustees. |

Achievements and performance

| Summary of the main achievements of the charity during the financial period |
Totally Sound - Reel Youth Media activity continues to support young music makers/bands/performers during Saturday sessions and has managed and coordinated several live performance events for young people to engage with wider youth music culture, digital creativity, and live & recorded music production activity. The programmes continue to be very popular with an increasing demand of the available resources and staff capacities. The project has successfully secured a partnership agreement with the Edinburgh Fringe Festival Society and looks forward to continuing to deliver a programme of youth music learning from the Infirmary Street venue after a period of renovation and development to the Southbridge Resource Centre Building in 2026. Totally Sound – Reel Youth Media currently operates out of the Edinburgh College Milton Road Campus and has successfully decanted the programme whilst the usual site of operation is under renovation. The partnership with Edinburgh College has allowed Totally Sound – Reel Youth Media to continue to deliver its services and support to young music makers/learners and through this new partnership has strengthened pathway options to further/higher music learning college courses. Fundraising events During the reporting period, donations were made to the charity by the public (amounting to £1,312) and by service users (amounting to £766). Our Ceilidh Cabaret event was held in December where the charity raised funds through ticket sales and donations. This event showcased performances from a variety of current and previous Totally Sound students throughout the evening alongside a ceilidh. This event was well attended and grossed £746. In addition to this, the Winterfest End of Term concert grossed £175. This generated an overall income of £2999 for the year. Supporting Workshops and Events Throughout the year, the charity has supported events by funding the purchase of musical and media equipment, such as instruments and other technical equipment, required to run workshops and events successfully. In addition to this, the charity has been able to provide the funding to contract freelancers from the creative industries to produce and capture the various events to a professional standard. |
