Notes to the Financial Statements

for the Period Ended 31 December 2024

  • 1. Accounting policies

    Basis of measurement and preparation

    These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the provisions of Section 1A (Small Entities) of Financial Reporting Standard 102

    Turnover policy

    Turnover Policy Turnover is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable. Turnover is reduced for estimated customer returns, rebates and other similar allowances. Revenue from the sale of goods is recognised when all the following conditions are satisfied: the Company has transferred to the buyer the significant risks and rewards of ownership of the goods; the Company retains neither continuing managerial involvement to the degree usually associated with ownership nor effective control over the goods sold; the amount of revenue can be measured reliably; it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the Company; and the costs incurred or to be incurred in respect of the transaction can be measured reliably.

    Tangible fixed assets depreciation policy

    Tangible fixed assets held for the company's own use are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses. At each balance sheet date, the company reviews the carrying amount of its tangible fixed assets to determine whether there is any indication that any items have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of an asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss. Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off the cost or valuation less the estimated residual value of each asset over its estimated useful life: Plant and machinery 25% reducing balance Furniture, fittings and equipment 25% reducing balance

    Intangible fixed assets amortisation policy

    Intangible fixed assets are carried at cost less accumulated amortisation and impairment losses.

    Other accounting policies

    Taxation Income tax expense represents the sum of the tax currently payable and deferred tax. The tax currently payable is based on taxable profit for the year. Taxable profit differs from the surplus as reported in the income and expenditure account because of items of income or expense that are taxable or deductible in other years and items that are never taxable or deductible. The Company's liability for current tax is calculated using tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period. Deferred tax is recognised on timing differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the financial statements and the corresponding tax bases used in the computation of taxable profit. Deferred tax liabilities are generally recognised for all taxable temporary differences. Deferred tax assets are generally recognised for all deductible timing differences to the extent that it is probable that taxable profits will be available against which those deductible temporary differences can be utilised. The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at the end of each reporting period and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available to allow all or part of the asset to be recovered. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the period in which the liability is settled or the asset realised, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period. Current or deferred tax for the year is recognised in the income and expenditure account, except when they relate to items that are recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, in which case, the current and deferred tax is also recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity respectively. Trade and other debtors Trade and other debtors are initially recognised at fair value and thereafter stated at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less impairment losses for bad and doubtful debts. Trade and other creditors Short term creditors are measured at the transaction price. Other financial liabilities, including bank loans, are measured initially at fair value, net of transaction costs, and are measured subsequently at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

Company activities and impact

In 2024 Drum and Brass continued to focussed on three strategic aims: to increase participation in music, increase the impact of our work and to increase revenue to support our work with low income participants. To this end we ran programmes of music tasters in Leicester and Cumbria, which involved recruiting and training new staff members. Drum and Brass increased participation in the Woodgate Music programme in Leicester, and expanded activities in Cumbria with 3 new brass learning groups, a brass festival and a youth brass band. The main costs have been time spent defining goals and collating data. The benefits are the forming of empowered musical communities, developing skills and agency and increasing diversity in music-making. This year D+B delivered 165 regular sessions with ave. attendance 13 20 community events with ave. audience 300 The approximate percentage of project participants facing barriers due to low income (postcode), ethnic background and/or social and emotional needs = 94% *Directors defined impact for D+B as - diversity and inclusion of participation (at one off events and regular attendance of our groups) - wellbeing of participants resulting from our work - skills attained

Consultation with stakeholders

The companys stakeholders live in rurally isolated villages in Cumbria and in low-income postcodes of Leicester. They face barriers to engagement in the arts through geography or cultural exclusion , racially minoritised, disabled. The directors of the company have lived in Cumbria and Leicester for a number of years and we have developed the model for our music services based on our experience of working in our communities and talking to our participants. We ask everyone using Drum and Brass services for the first time to fill in a short questionnaire about themselves, their individual needs and preferences. This has helped us to build up a profile of our participants needs and what we can do to meet them more effectively. We also use our Sounds of podcasts to capture the voices and opinions of our participants and stakeholders. Feedback is that residents who feel socially or physically excluded value the provision of local activities which offer companionship, a feeling of belonging and a sense of purpose. We encourage suggestions for music that our participants want to play, performance ideas and venues and ways to increase inclusion, whether this be attending the Anti-Racist Cumbria conference or ensuring there are overlays for players with dyslexia. We share these contributions wherever we can, on our website, with partners and in our social media.
