Report of the Trustees

For The Year Ended 31 August 2025

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 2025. 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

Achievements 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 £50,969. 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 £372,285 as at 31 August 2025, of which £20,251 are restricted funds and £352,034 are unrestricted funds.

Principal funding sources

The principal fundraising activities in the year have been donations and through various community projects and band fees

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 2025 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 2025 accounts this would amount to £174,618.

The charity's unrestricted reserves are currently £177,416 above this amount.

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.

Report of the Trustees

For The Year Ended 31 August 2025

STRATEGIC REPORT

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.

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 have invested some of the money and incorporated a reserve fund.

- Recruitment of Trustees - this is always work in progress, we now have on board several new members who bring the skills needed to take the charity forward.

- Our German exchange programme continues annually, this year EKS Herten visited DYJA. This provided our 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 (Favela Brass in Brazil & DYJA) were unsuccessful in our British Council Cultural Exchange bid between British and Brazilian organisations. Work is ongoing to provide some form of joint musical project between both organisations.

- To secure funding to continue our successful music education projects with local schools, most notably the P-Bones, P-Trumpet and Saxophones 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 at XP School. 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.

- 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 Shelley McQuade (Administration 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 either have Level 3 Safeguarding or are working towards it this 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.

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.

The Trustees meet monthly and receive detailed reports from the Senior Officers. Trustees are responsible for financial decisions but the day to day operations of the charity are delegated to the Senior Officers.

Notes to the Financial Statements

For The Year Ended 31 August 2025

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.

| Musical instruments - 10% on cost

| Fixtures and fittings - 10% on cost

| Library - 4% on cost

| Computer equipment - 25% on cost

| Motor vehicles - 25% reducing balance

| 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.

| 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.

For The Year Ended 31 August 2025

1. | ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued

| Fund accounting

| 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.
