PART 1 - GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF THE COMPANY’S ACTIVITIES AND IMPACT In the space provided below, please insert a general account of the company’s activities in the financial year to which the report relates, including a description of how they have benefited the community. Our steel band has actively contributed to the local community by performing at a variety of charitable events, including church gatherings, school and local community fetes, across Leicestershire. These performances have provided our members with valuable opportunities to develop their musical abilities and build confidence by playing in front of live audiences, while also supporting meaningful causes within the community. In addition to our charitable work, we have also performed at a number of non-charitable private events. These engagements have helped us to generate income to support the running of the band and have enhanced our reputation as a high-quality, professional steel band, further enabling us to meet our aims of musical development, community engagement, and cultural outreach. Following the successful pilot of our new youth band, Contrast Cadets, last year, we were pleased to formally launch the group and expand its activity throughout this year. The Cadets quickly became an active part of our programme, performing at a range of community events and building both confidence and visibility. A key highlight was their performance at the Leicester Riverside Festival, which attracts approximately 80,000 attendees each year. Taking part in events of this scale provided invaluable experience for our young performers and demonstrated the positive impact of investing in the next generation of musicians within our community. We were proud to bring together both our youth band and main band to participate as one unified group in the procession for the Leicester Caribbean Carnival. This marked a significant milestone for us, as it is an event we have not been able to take part in for over 10 years. The opportunity to return in this way was deeply meaningful, allowing us to reconnect with a vital cultural tradition that sits at the heart of our community. Uniting performers across generations not only strengthened our organisation internally, but also enabled us to present a vibrant, collective expression of our heritage within a celebration that is integral to our cultural identity. We also piloted a new adult community band, open to individuals of all ages and backgrounds, with the aim of tackling social isolation while promoting the enjoyment of learning music and being part of a collective ensemble. Delivered as a 10-week course, the programme attracted between 15 and 20 regular participants, many of whom were either new to music or returning after a long break. The sessions created a welcoming and supportive environment where adults could build skills, form social connections, and experience the wellbeing benefits of making music together as part of a band.
Our company’s stakeholders include Band members, both current and former, including young people transitioning from educational steelpan tuition Parents and carers of younger members Leicestershire Music Service, as a key partner in music education The wider community of Leicestershire, including organisers and attendees of our public performances and events and from our new adult class. Consultation and Feedback Methods We regularly engage with stakeholders through both formal and informal methods, including Verbal feedback during and after rehearsals, performances, and events and in band meetings. Ongoing conversations with young players and their families regarding progression opportunities Collaborative discussions with Leicestershire Music Service about gaps in provision and support for young musicians Feedback gathered during classes community events, where organisers and attendees shared thoughts on the band’s role, outreach, and accessibility. Actions Taken in Response to Feedback As a direct result of consultation: We formally launched our youth band following a successful pilot, enabling performances at major community events such as the Leicester Riverside Festival, approximately 80,000 attendees annually, addressing the need for greater inclusivity, progression opportunities, and reduced social isolation. We piloted a 10-week adult community band, 15 to 20 participants, to support wellbeing, social connection, and accessible music-making. We united our youth and main band to participate in the Leicester Caribbean Carnival procession for the first time in over 10 years, reconnecting with an event that is integral to our cultural identity. We remain committed to ongoing stakeholder consultation as a core part of our decision-making and development processes.
