  • 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

    Revenue is recognised to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Company and the revenue can be reliably measured. Revenue is measured as the fair value of theconsideration received or receivable, excluding discounts, rebates, value added tax and other sales taxes. The following criteria must also be met before revenue is recognised:Rendering of servicesRevenue from a contract to provide services is recognised in the period in which the services areprovided in accordance with the stage of completion of the contract when all of the following conditions are satisfied:the amount of revenue can be measured reliably;it is probable that the Company will receive the consideration due under the contract;the stage of completion of the contract at the end of the reporting period can be measured reliably; andthe costs incurred and the costs to complete the contract can be measured reliably.

    Tangible fixed assets depreciation policy

    Tangible fixed assets under the cost model are stated at historical cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses. Historical cost includes expenditure that isdirectly attributable to bringing the asset to the location and condition necessary for it to be capable of operating in the manner intended by management.Depreciation is charged so as to allocate the cost of assets less their residual value over their estimated useful lives, using the straight-line method.Depreciation is provided on the following basis:Office equipment - 25% per annumThe assets' residual values, useful lives and depreciation methods are reviewed, and adjusted prospectively if appropriate, or if there is an indication of a significant change since the last reporting date.Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing the proceeds with the carrying amount and are recognised in profit or loss.

    Intangible fixed assets amortisation policy

    Intangible assets are initially recognised at cost. After recognition, under the cost model, intangible assets are measured at cost less any accumulated amortisation and any accumulated impairmentlosses.All intangible assets are considered to have a finite useful life. If a reliable estimate of the useful life cannot be made, the useful life shall not exceed ten years.

    Valuation information and policy

    Stocks are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value, being the estimated selling price less costs to complete and sell. Cost is based on the cost of purchase on a first in, first out basis. Work in progress and finished goods include labour and attributable overheads.At each reporting date, stocks are assessed for impairment. If stock is impaired, the carrying amount is reduced to its selling price less costs to complete and sell. The impairment loss is recognised immediately in profit or loss.

COMMUNITY INTEREST ANNUAL REPORT

CHILTERN MUSIC THERAPY COMMUNITY INTEREST COMPANY

Company Number: 07702358 (England and Wales)

Year Ending: 31 July 2021

Company activities and impact

Considering the pandemic, the company is still recovering from a downturn in service contracts and therefore income from services has reduced slightly from the last financial year 12.5%. However, the organisation continues to support those in need, and the total amount of fully subsidised sessions was just over £9,000. This figure is lower than the usual subsidised figure due to the lockdowns which restricted the start of clinical work and sessions. Additional services and projects continue to be commissioned and funded by the education, care and public health sectors, as well as the private healthcare sector. Over 1480 people received Music Therapy or Community Music sessions this year, in one to one and group sessions, approximately 45% were children and young people, with 55% of our clients in the adult population. Our full-service delivery includes Music Therapy, Neurologic Music Therapy and Community Music, with expansion in delivering training across education, health and social care. Furthering our journey through self-management, the organisation prepared to move to Employee Ownership, which is expected to be completed in September 2021 with ongoing implementation. Our fundraising efforts remain to be part of the business model and with the support of local donors, national grants and fundraising from private schools, the donations have continued to enable the organisation to provide pro bono services and launch innovative projects in the music therapy sector. The amount raised through our community fundraising initiatives was over £50,000 which, as per the accruals model, will be kept in the company’s reserves until funds are allocated against projects or subsidised services.

Consultation with stakeholders

We have continued to meet with our stakeholders (our staff and our clients); at the end of the financial year, the organisation had a team of 52 staff, including Music Therapists, Community Musicians and our office team. At the end of this financial year, there are just 5 members of staff using flexible furlough. The Bounce Back Loan was paid in full by May 2021. Engaging with our staff more than ever, the transformation to Employee Ownership utilised the support of staff steering groups and co-creation spaces. From September 2021, the board of Directors will be in place to safeguard, support and guide the organisation’s operations. A Membership Council will be formed in 2022 which will represent the voice of the employees and contribute towards dynamic change in the organisation. In addition, a service user group will be established during 2022 to ensure the voice of our services users is an active part of shaping our organisation for the future.Our staff team continue to be supported by roles that cover development activities in addition to clinical work. Importantly, these include roles that protect and champion the organisation's culture, staff wellbeing, inclusion and diversity and environment and sustainability. Our existing finance services continue to be covered by a part-time Bookkeeper, Finance Manager and a Financial Controller who works with us 2 days a month. We remain in touch with the current sector needs and research through engagement with external professional bodies and organisations across education, health and social care. The research efforts of the organisation continue to flourish this year and have involved projects with partner universities and other broader organisations in the health and social care sector. We continued to develop and provide training to music therapists, practitioners, educators and healthcare workers. We also continue to provide lectures and workshops to local and national groups. The coming year will see us expanding our online and in-person training programme for UK and global practitioners. Connecting and training professionals in other health and social care sectors enables the company to remain at the forefront of policy development, to benefit stakeholders and beneficiaries receiving our services. The organisation’s training offer is growing and developing and will continue to develop next year to reach a wider impact, and sustainably support revenue.

Directors' remuneration

The Director’s remuneration for this year was £108,762, which is higher than previous years. With the move to Employee Ownership and the appointment of a larger board of Directors, the two previous Directors received remuneration for their previous years of service. This included a standalone additional sum of £58,784 which reflected the accumulated shortfall in their directors salaries from 2011-2021.
