OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES
Public benefit
‘The trustees confirm that they have referred to the guidance contained in the Charity Commission's general guidance on public benefit when reviewing the Charity’s aims and objectives and in the planning of future activities.
The charity's work comprises a portfolio of some 20 projects a year all delivered in community or educational settings. The work focuses on the celebration and support of the individual's creativity and sense of place in their neighborhoods, towns or cities. This process fosters their sense of wellbeing and happiness. It also nurtures a sensc of "pride" for their friends, families, carers and communities. The workshops engage with the use of hand and mind to create items that express each participant's individual feelings, desires and aestheties. These are then shown and enjoyed by many others to create a unified larger image. This work focuses on the paradox of being an dividual but having a community spirit. It builds seif-esteem and confidence in our participants. We have especially devised strands of work with young people with learning difficulties and additional needs, young carers and under-engaged young people. These strands give palliative and transformational experience to the participants helping thom to engage with the wider civic projects ensuring that these are as inclusive as possible and that the young people feel include in the life and culture of their neighborhoods. =. | a All these projects culminate in public events showcasing the talents and experiences of the participants by bringing joy and wonder to a large range of audiences. This manifests itself in the events, the shared memories and images of people celebrating life in all its richness with their own creations on their own streets.
