Report of the Trustees
For The Year Ended 31 August 2024


The trustees who are also directors of the charity for the purposes of the Companies Act 2006, present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 August 2024. The trustees have adopted the provisions of 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
Objectives and aims
The objective of the charity is to promote, maintain, improve and advance education by encouraging and fostering the understanding, knowledge, appreciation and development of Jazz and its associated forms of music.

Public benefit
The trustees have had regard to the guidance issued by the Charity Commission in relation to Public Benefit in determining the actions and objectives of the Charity. The trustees also confirm that they have complied with the duty in Section 4 of the Charities Act 2011.

DYJA has continued to work closely with local schools directly, and as a member of the Doncaster Music Education Hub.

The trustees feel it is clear from the Charity's objectives and aims, the targets set for the Charity and its performance against those targets that DYJA brings substantial public benefit.

Volunteers
Volunteers provide valuable assistance particularly in setting up equipment for concerts and providing a chaperone service for students.

STRATEGIC REPORT
Achievement and performance
Charitable activities
Whilst the activities of the Charity are no longer impacted directly by the 'Covid Pandemic', there continue to be ongoing effects such as an ongoing nationwide decline in music events and a significant change in education that has seen a significant decrease in the emphasis on music in schools- this has impacted the quantity of young people starting to play instruments, which has led to a challenge to recruit new players at DYJA.

The organisation has been successful in our aims to increase our outreach programmes in local schools and we have been able to offer a large number of young people up to the age of 11 the opportunity to learn trombone and trumpet for no cost - we are excited to continue this teaching and to expand to further schools and widen the instruments being offered. We believe that this is a way to identify young people who may benefit from and who would like to experience being part of our orchestras and we hope this will target children who would not have had this opportunity due to financial constraints. We will be looking at running projects to enhance young people's mental health and emotional wellbeing as it has been well documented that having music in schools enhances wellbeing and has an impact on attendance, self-esteem and confidence.

Financial review
Financial position
Incoming resources totalled £260,579. This included grants which facilitated developing plans for the introduction to jazz of new young players using P-Bones and P-Trumpets in junior schools. This scheme will be expanded and include other instruments.

The charity has closing total reserves of £407,165 as at 31 August 2024, of which £1,678 are restricted funds and £405,487 are unrestricted funds.

Principal funding sources
The principal fundraising activities in the year have been donations and the use of facilities by others, including examination bodies and holiday clubs.

Reserves policy
Reserves are needed to bridge the gap between the spending and receiving of income and provide some level of financial stability. An ideal level of unrestricted reserves as at 31st August 2024 would be equal to the value of the fixed assets included in the accounts as at that date, and one year's operating costs excluding depreciation. Based on 31 August 2024 accounts this would amount to £193,622.

The charity's unrestricted reserves are currently £211,865 above this amount.

Report of the Trustees
For The Year Ended 31 August 2024


STRATEGIC REPORT
Financial review
Going concern
The trustees recognise that there needs to be concentrated attention given to securing external funding support in the longer term. With expected increases in operating costs beyond the control of the trustees, and the unavailability of major changes to existing funding sources, new funding resources need to be secured if the charity's work is to continue.

The trustees are of the view that the charity is a going concern.

Principal risks and uncertainties
The principal risk facing the charity is the obtaining of adequate long-term funding in order to support and develop pathways for new musicians to develop their skills. For example, for the charity to continue offering 'outreach' projects in local schools that have been shown to be successful in terms of engaging disadvantaged children in music education and increasing life skills such as resilience and confidence, a substantial financial investment needs to be secured.
In addition, long term funding is required to ensure that we can meet our costs, principally wages.

The trustees review the cash flow projections at their regular meetings to ensure adequate resources are available.

The charity works closely with schools and other parties to promote the playing of musical instruments.

Financial and risk management objectives and policies
The trustees have a risk management strategy which comprises:

- an annual review of the principal risks and uncertainties that the charity face;
- the establishment of policies, systems and procedures to mitigate those risks identified in the annual review;
- the implementation of procedures designed to minimise or manage any potential impact on the charity should those risks materialise.

This work has identified the long term financial sustainability is the major financial risk for the charity. A key element of the Risk Management is a review of budgets and forecasts.

Non-financial risks arising from fire, health and safety of those performing and attending at concerts, are managed by ensuring accreditation is up to date, having robust policies and procedures in place and ensuring those staff and volunteers engaged in these operational areas are fully aware of their responsibilities.

All chaperones, music staff, trustees and other personnel of the charity, who have access to children, are required to undergo Disclosure and Barring Checks (DBS) as required. In addition the charity is aware of its responsibilities under the Children & Young Persons Act 1963 and Children (Performances) Regulations 2014. In this respect particular regard is taken as to the potential restriction on the availability for concert performances of younger band members.

For The Year Ended 31 August 2024


STRATEGIC REPORT
Future plans
Specific plans include:


-
Following the sale of the Jazz Centre we now have funds in the bank and are taking financial advice. We will be investing some of the money and will
incorporate a reserve fund.

-
Recruitment of Trustees.- this is ongoing and needs to continue so we can offer comprehensive skill sets needed to enable the charity to move forward.
Our priority recruitment is a trustee with business and finance experience.


-
Our German exchange programme will continue this year with Herten visiting us. This will give the Herten young people experience of playing with an
orchestra in a different country, living with host families and experiencing the joy of shared concerts. We are working in partnership with other schools
on this exchange.We are also looking to do an exchange programme with Favela Brass in Brazil - we have submitted a funding bid.





-
To secure funding to continue our successful music education projects with local schools, most notably the P-Bones and P-Trumpet initiatives that
have been successful in terms of engagement with disadvantaged children and have been seen to increase resilience and confidence in young people.
They have also provided a pathway of musical education in local schools along with substantial parental engagement as seen in our workshops held
previously at The Jazz Centre before it's sale. We have secured some donations recently that will be used to continue these projects and enable new
instrument tuition in more schools.We are at present looking for further funding to enable us to continue for years to come with these projects with the
support of an advisor experienced in fundraising bids.

-
To develop strategic plans in terms of developing business - at the moment we are working on vision planning to get a vision of who and what we are
and where we want to be.




-
To continue to develop and implement a robust approach our compliance policies and procedures including safeguarding and Health and Safety.
These are to be completed by Mandy Henson (Office Manager) with the support of the Trustees and will include consultation with staff, trustees and
external bodies such as Doncaster Council Safeguarding Hub. In addition to the policies and procedures, our internal safeguarding framework is
continually developed including ongoing training of staff and trustees with a named safeguarding officer and two deputies. All staff will be working
towards level 3 safeguarding over the next year.

STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT
Governing document
The charity is controlled by its governing document, a deed of trust, and constitutes a limited company, limited by guarantee, as defined by the Companies Act 2006.

DYJA is a company limited by guarantee, and governed by its Memorandum of Articles. It is registered as a charity with the Charity Commission. In the event of the company being wound up, members are required to contribute an amount not exceeding £10.

Recruitment and appointment of new trustees
DYJA is managed by the trustees. The Trustees form the governing body of the charity and are responsible for ensuring the organisation is working within the bounds of the Memorandum and Articles.

New Trustees are appointed by the Board. New trustees are re-elected at the charity's Annual General Meeting.

Our Trustees have a wealth and diversity of professional skills, experience and knowledge to contribute to the development of the organisation, and are committed to the concept and values of DYJA.

Trustees are fully aware of their responsibilities regarding the organisation.

Method of appointment of trustees
Occasionally the charity identifies the need for new trustees. This may be because vacancies have arisen through resignations/retirements, or it may be that existing trustees have decided that one or more new trustees with specific skills are needed to help run the charity more effectively.

The trustees agree what skills, experience and knowledge are needed, and seek to identify possible people who may be willing to share their experience and skills.

The trustees agree on responsibilities and a process for recruitment; in doing this, they take care to comply with any specific requirements set out in the charity's governing document.

Some of the work may be delegated to a sub-group of trustees, but the whole trustee board remains in full control of the process and decisions.

Prospective trustees are invited to spend time within the organisation to ensure they understand the depth and breadth of the organisation, the ethos of the charity and the responsibilities involved before making a commitment to serve and formalise the position.

Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of
DYJA

Independent examiner's report to the trustees of DYJA ('the Company')
I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Company for the year ended 31 August 2024.

Responsibilities and basis of report
As the charity's trustees of the Company (and also its directors for the purposes of company law) you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 ('the 2006 Act').

Having satisfied myself that the accounts of the Company are not required to be audited under Part 16 of the 2006 Act and are eligible for independent examination, I report in respect of my examination of your charity's accounts as carried out under Section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 ('the 2011 Act'). In carrying out my examination I have followed the Directions given by the Charity Commission under Section 145(5) (b) of the 2011 Act.

Independent examiner's statement
Since your charity's gross income exceeded £250,000 your examiner must be a member of a listed body. I can confirm that I am qualified to undertake the examination because I am a member of the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales, which is one of the listed bodies.

I have completed my examination. I confirm that no matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe:

1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the Company as required by Section 386 of the 2006 Act; or
2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or
3. the accounts do not comply with the accounting requirements of Section 396 of the 2006 Act other than any requirement that the accounts give a true and fair view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination; or
4. the accounts have not been prepared in accordance with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice for accounting and reporting by charities (applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102)).

I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

Notes to the Financial Statements
For The Year Ended 31 August 2024

1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of preparing the financial statements
The financial statements of the charitable company, which is a public benefit entity under FRS 102, have been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102) '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)', Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland' and the Companies Act 2006. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention.

Going Concern
The trustees assess whether the use of going concern is appropriate i.e. whether there are any material uncertainties related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the ability of the company to continue as a going concern. The trustees make this assessment in respect of a period of one year from the date of authorisation for issue of the financial statements and have concluded that the charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future and there are no material uncertainties about its ability to continue as a going concern.

Critical accounting judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty
Estimates and judgements are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.

Critical accounting estimates and assumptions:
There were no critical accounting estimates or assumptions this year that are deemed to be material in nature to the financial statements.

Income
All income is recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities once the charity has entitlement to the funds, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably.

The balance of income received for specific purposes but not expended during the period is shown in the relevant funds on the Balance Sheet. Where income is received in advance of entitlement receipt, its recognition is deferred and included in creditors as deferred income. Where entitlement occurs before income is received, the income is accrued.

Expenditure
Liabilities are recognised as expenditure as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to that expenditure, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all cost related to the category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources.

Charitable activities and governance costs are incurred on the operations, including support costs and costs relating to the governance of the Charity apportioned to charitable activities.

Tangible fixed assets
Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off each asset over its estimated useful life.

Freehold property - 4% on cost
Musical Instruments - 10% on cost
Fixtures and fittings - 10% or 33.33% on cost
Library - 4% on cost
Computer equipment - 25% on cost

Assets are initially recognised at cost and subsequently measured at cost, net of depreciation and any provision for impairment.

Taxation
The charity is exempt from corporation tax on its charitable activities.

Fund accounting
Unrestricted funds can be used in accordance with the charitable objectives at the discretion of the trustees.

Designated funds comprise unrestricted funds that have been set aside by the Trustees for particular purposes.

1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued

Fund accounting
Restricted funds can only be used for particular restricted purposes within the objects of the charity. Restrictions arise when specified by the donor or when funds are raised for particular restricted purposes.

Further explanation of the nature and purpose of each fund is included in the notes to the financial statements.

Donated goods and donated facilities
On receipt, donated professional services and facilities are recognised on the basis of the value of the gift to the Company which is the amount it would have been willing to pay to obtain services or facilities of equivalent economic benefit on the open market; a corresponding amount is then recognised in the expenditure over the period of receipt.

Liabilities
Liabilities are recognised when there is an obligation at the balance sheet date as a result of a past event, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefit will be required in settlement, and the amount of the settlement can be estimated reliably. Liabilities are recognised at the amount that the charity anticipates it will pay to settle the debt or the amount it has received as advanced payments for the goods or services it must provide.

Financial instruments
The charity only holds basic financial instruments as defined by FRS102. The financial assets and financial liabilities of the charity and their measurement basis are as follows:

Financial assets - trade and other debtors are basic financial instruments and are debt instruments measured at amortised cost. Prepayments are not financial instruments.

Cash at bank - is classified as a basic financial instrument and is measured at face value.

Financial liabilities - trade creditors, accruals and other creditors are financial instruments, and are measured at amortised cost. Taxation and social security are not included in the financial instruments disclosure definition. Deferred income is not deemed to be a financial liability, as the cash settlement has already taken place and there is an obligation to deliver services rather than cash or another financial instrument.
