Objectives & Activities darts creates art with people in Doncaster to improve life. learning and health. We make high-quality. inclusive, creative experiences across the borough of Doncaster. Our programmes are open to everyone, particularW those who have the least access to the orts. Our purpose is for anyone in Doncaster to learn and connect by toking part in the orts. Our mission is for everyone to feel an accepted and valued part of the community. creating a healthier and more connected society. Delivering our Covid-19 Recovery Plan Our Recovery Plan focused on five clear priorities.. Rebuild Our FAan enabled us to rebuild activity and audience at The Point and across the borough. as well as re-engaging Wlth partners to strengthen routes into our programmes. Following Doncaster Public Health and Government guidance. we have been running at full capacity for the majority of the year. Respond Our strategy was to focus on the two new urgent priorities in early child development and recovery from Lon9 Covid which we ore well placed to address. Funding was secured to develop Breathe & Connect and Tuneful Chatter as proven approaches to respond to these challenges long term. Re¢onne¢t Learning from the pondemic has had a significant impact on the woy that we communicate with existing and potential stakeholders. We worked with external expert, Penny Lee, to develop I[ 'story. identify audience personas and create o detailed communications strategy in order to develop specific audiences for priority areas. Our refreshed approach to communications has increased social media reach by 73%, website users by 49% and newstter subscribers by 113%. Reimogine Over the past decade our focus has been to make The Point as busy and as financially resilient as possible. As we reopened. those aims were challenged by social distoncing and changing work practice. Our approach has been to priorrtise our own delivery and to increase hire partnership5 Wlth those whose work closely aligns with ours. We redesigned the visitor experience. improving access to the front of the building, removed some walls to ease internal movement and installed new signage to improve visibility. Net Zero Our final priority within the Recovery Plan was around climote emergency, which underlies the health and social challenges around us. We have now secured funding for external experts to undertake a full environmental audit of our listed buildlig and will emerge with a clear action plan to become carbon zero by 2030. dart$, D¢)ncoster CommuntyArtsAnnual Report & Financial 5tolements Year Ended 31 st March 2022

Achievements, Performance & Future Plans Many of our participants have been anxious about returning to activities and for some groups, it has been o challengin9 time to rebuild engagement. We have learnt a great deal from the pandemic and hove continued to use this learning to offer a range of opportunities for people to stay creative ond connected whilst remaining at home. Despite the challenges, the pandemic has offered some opportunities. In December, we secured an Additional Restrictions Grant from South Yorkshire Mayoral Authority. Breathe & Connect enabled artists to work collaboratively to respond to specific issues caused by the Fxjndemic. We emerged with improved knowledge of the needs and developmental delays in many young children, and an understanding of how singing and movement helps people living with Long Covid improve physical and mental health. As a Weston Charity Award recipient. we have been supported this year by Pilotlight, with input from senior professionals across private and public sector organisations who offered in-depth expert guidance on developing a sustainable long-term business strategy. This year we have worked with staff and trustees to review and refresh our vision, mission and purpose, resulting in a new approach to developing and delivering our 2022-25 Business Plon, connecting priorities more closely with operations. Arts & Education Our Arts & Education programme embeds a quality creative offer for Doncaster young people in and out of school. We work closely with our local authority and ore founding members of our Cultural Education Partnership. As joint lead partner for Doncaster Music Education Hub we collaborate to provide music-making opportunities for all Doncaster children, while offering robust CPD for teachers. Work in schools has been particularly challenging this year, with teachers and pupils being absent with Covi&l Q. resulting in numerous last-minute cancellations. Schools themselves have been focusing on core subjects in order to support pupils to catch up after lengthy lockdowns. Communication & Language in Eorly Yeors Very young children have been hardest hit by Covid-19. Recent Education Endowment Trust findings establish that educational pr{reSS and social development of four and five-year-olds has suffered severely. Doncaster Early Years Foundation Stage teachers told us that their pupils are struggling. They don't know how to listen. sit and concentrate. focus, take turns or interact. Additional local research demonstrates that under-fives. personal, social and emotional development IPSEDI has been significantly negatively impocted. Tuneful Chatter is our creative approach focusing on communicotion and language, PSED and gross motor movement. Musicians and dancers delivered 40 music and movement sessions with 3-5-year-old children at Grange Lane Infant Academy and Town Fields Primary School. Activity was based on well-known story books and designed specifically to respond to issues highlighted. Artists and early years practitioners saw a distinct improvement in the development of the children.. "As the project continued Cindy stayed longer and longer and become port of the group[or periods of tiTne. Herfocus was mogicol lo behold.. reol concentrotion oligned lo the sounds Ihol she was hearing. Emotional resilience in Doncaster primary schools Our Paul Hamlyn Foundation funded Creative Classrooms project responds to the needs ol Doncoster's primary school pupils whose existing issues around living in deprived neighboUrhoS, with chaotic backgrounds. low resilience and emotional literacy have been exacerbated by the Fxjndemic. We expanded the number of collaborating schods from three to five this year. Creatwe Classrooms uses immerswe storytelling to help dart$, D¢)ncoster CommuntyArtsAnnual Report & Financial 5tolements Year Ended 31 st March 2022
children understand their emotions, make sense of their world, and develop healthy and resilient minds. The model slows the storytelling process down, supporting children's capacities to identify and understand their own feelings, and to empathise with others, offering a safe place to build skills, and supporting the development of imagination, conflict resolution. creativity, language and communication skills. We have worked closely with arts therapist, Elaine Burke. to refine the Creative Classrooms principles. Artists have participated in two days of CPD. Impacts are strong, with one teacher saying that they'couldn'lfind a singlefvult with the projecf. l 00% of teachers saw improvements in engagement in activity in both Creotive Classrooms and other lessons and 92% sow improvements in student ability to communicate thoughts and feelings. Music progre55ion through Don¢aster Musi¢ Educotion Hub Continued lttkdowns and Covid-l g restrictions meant we were unable to deliver our onnual massed singing events in person. This year, however. musicians created a digital version so schools could engoge virtually. Digital resources enabled pupils to learn the songs and choreography and take part in their classrooms. An amazing team of proFessionol artists created online resources for the Music Education Hub this year, including Rumbi Tauro, Satnam Galsian. Moony Wainwright and Jim Lunt. Engaging teachers in CPD has been a challenge, but we delivered sessions online (Musicionship. New McKlel Curriculum) and in person (Singing Champions with Janet Wood and Satnam Galsian shoring Zimbabwean and Indian songs). Swag Choir and Swa9lets returned to The Point in July. and tasters resulted in new young people joining with a mix of experiences, backgrounds and abilities. We also offered new progression opportunities for young people through DJ Basics and Band Basics courses. Connecting school pupils with our exhibition progromme Our Gallery and exhibitions programme is at the heart of the building and our work. In 2021122 we were successful in securing Art Fund funding to build on our digital experience triggered by lockdown, and provide a rich digital offer for schools linked to our exhibitions. The locus was to provide a bridge between pupils and visual arts, artists and exhibition interpretation. We tested approaches over five exhibitions which this year included.. The Art of Disconnection - Kate Sully, Re-vision, Eduardo Paolozzi= General Dynamic F.U.N and Georgia O'Keeffe. The project gave us space to create a range of curriculum focused resources, collaborate with teachers and pupils, and improve our website to enhance experience. Feedback from teachers on class visits was excellent ond we are building on this learning with o clear engagement plan for the year ohead. All Aboard with Disabled children and youn9 people A skilled team of artists has worked with older Disobled children through our Transitions programme this year. 14-19 year olds focused on employability skills through 76 collaborotive sessions with DJ and producer Rob Pearson, visual artist. Karen Hall, poet. Sile Sibanda, sculptor. Dan Jones and drama practitioner, Val Holland. Careers focused sessions brought the groups together to explore barriers faced and opportunities ovailable.. "Il is so nice to see our students celebrated, sharing their experiences with a group ojyoung people with similar experiences. They lovedfinding out more about the jobs in the arts and we Iwkforword lo visiting ogoin soon." We were successful with our bid to Youth Music to develop our music and Makaton programme with all six Doncaster Special Schools. Musicians have delivered sessions with 124 Disabled young people and the project consistently delivers strong impacts, with sustained engagement resulting in real progression in children's ability to make choices, express themselves and communicate confidently. "I have never seen the boys dart$, D¢)ncoster CommuntyArtsAnnual Report & Financial 5tolements Year Ended 31 st March 2022

Arts & Health Our Arts & Health programme kjs grown exponentially over the past decade. We generate new ways of thinking and convince commissioners to invest in creotive models that improve health & wellbeing.. over £250k in the last 3 years. We lead Doncaster's Arts & Health Board, working closely with key partners.. Doncaster Public Health, Social Prescribing and NHS. We are identified as an 'Anclx)r Organisotion, by Doncaster Council. improving links with our most lttal, under-represented communities. Our work with adults experien¢in9 mental heolth issues Covid-l g restrictions impacted face to face delivery at the beginning of 21122. so our weekly We Create Zoom sessions (funded by the Clinical Commissioning Group) and our ortist-designed Postal Packs for Creative Directions remained vital to those experiencing mental ill health. Levels of anxiety and isolation continued to be exacerbated by the pandemic and participants said the Zooms were a 'lifeline': .1 am so very thanklulfor all the opportunities Ihot you are putting on my poth. I don t think that I will ever be able lo express in words my grotitude to the service Ihot darts hos provided to me over the past months. ft has been involuable in my recovery. Creative Directions groups restarted in Moy 2021 at The Point and Edlington, and numbers hove grown steadily since. The group at The Point has responded to exhibitions. collaborating Wlth artists including poet lan Mcmillan, percussionist Gory Hammond, musician Luke Catvei Goss, visual artist Angle Hardwick and DJ Rob Pearson. Additional sessions to develop a specific skill included Satnam Galsian's popular North Indian singing sessions, with rekjxotion, breath worl vocalisation and mindfulness.."Ifeel so much better. It's so important thol I do these sessions. It's like stepping in lo a different world. I left the sessionfeeling o lol better thon I did when I wolked in.. Outdoor We Create sessions between July and September 2021 included Creative Rambles in Mexborough and Conisbrough Art Allotment sessions. In collaboration with Heritage Doncaster and the local History Society, the sessions drew an interested and engoged group. lan Mcmillan was superb at bringing the Rambles to life. exploring strange objects and places, and encouraging the group to develop poetic responses. Our final report from ARC (Sheffield University}'s academic research around the positive impacts of engaging in creative activity on people's mental health and wellbeing was published. and we released a film celebrating We Create and Creative Directions, focusing on the importance of participatory practice. Funding was secured from the Local Solutions Community Fund for activity to strengthen connections with our most local, under-represented communities. This fccuses on the 32% of residents who identify as from Global Majority or eastern European communities, and the 7% who don't speak English. Our collaboration with Cast and National Theatre continued and Public Acts has gone from strength to strength. Participants, many of whom were severely lacking in confidence ot the beginning of the process. performed The Magic of Wild Heather on Cast's main stage. "I've come alive aqain in o way I suppose...Crealive Directions has given me so much confidence in speaking. When I'm very nervou5 my speech is very hard to understand, but no one seems lo have trouble with my speech in the group. dart$, D¢)ncoster CommuntyArtsAnnual Report & Financial 5tolements Year Ended 31 st March 2022
Our work with th¢se living Wlth long term heolth ¢onditi¢n$ Singing for Memory has continued to engage people with dementia and their family carers in a range of ways. While restrictions were in place, our Paul & Nick Harvey funded 'Singing for Memory at Home, offer included 8 CDIDVD high quality newsletters delivered to people's homes. These newsletters were full of activities, photographs and music to improve wellbeing and feelings of connectedness for both people with dementia and their carers. We also produced l O episodes of'sing FM, on Doncaster's Sine FM within their community show with a listenership of 6000 per show. As restrictions eased, Singing for Memory sessions restarted at The Point in May. We also delivered 14 sessions at existing day-care provision, partnering Wlth Inspire Doncaster.

Dance On zooms and 'on the airwaves, continued at the beginning of 21122 before warmer weather enabled uplifting outdoor sessions in the park next to The Point. Sessions recommenced ot The Point and community settings in June. Porticiponts have been quick to return ond we have rebuilt our six core groups across the borough, as well as storting new groups in Armthorpe and Thorne.

Addington and Astill. 20171. We continue to seek out. train and work with dancers who live locally to Doncaster. Quirky Choir- our open group for anyone who wants to sing- also continued via Zoom until warmer weather enabled outdoor sessions in the park next to The Point. These sessions were a joyous reunion for the group, for whom social singing meons so much to their own mental health and wellbeing. We secured funds for an intenswe test and learn project using our existing expertise around singing ond dance for health to respond to Long Covid. A team of artists tested approaches with adult groups in collaboration with health professionals. They emer9ed with a proven approach to improving the mental and physical health of those living from Long Covid and similar breathing related conditions. This project was an incredible opportunity for ortists to research, plan. deliver. reflect and evaluate together. meaning that each of them gained o rich understanding of each others, opproaches and new skills to add to their delivery= "The whole process has encoltraged me to reflect, evaluate, expand ond build upon my practice.

Notes to the Financial Statements ACCOUNTING POLICIES Bosis of accounting The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention and in occoidonce with the Financiol reporting Standard 102. the finoncial reporting standard opplicable in the UK and the Republic of Ireland, and the Statement of Recommended Practice- "Accounting and Reporting by Charities.. revised 2019" ISORP 20191 and the Companies Act 2000. The following principle occounting policies hove been applied. Presentation is in pounds sterling. In¢oming res¢ur¢e$ Incoming resources all arise from grants. fees and fund-raising within the United Kingdom. Income from donations and grants. includin9 capital grants. is included in incoming resources when these ore receivable, except as follows= When donors specify that donations and grants gDien to the charity must be used in future accounting periods, the income is deferred until those periods. When donors impose conditions. which have to be fulfilled before the charity becomes entitled to use such income, the income is deferred and not included in incoming resources until the pre-conditions for use have been met. When donors specify that donations and grants. including capitol grants are for particulor restricted purposes which do not amount to pre-conditions regarding entrtlement, this income is included in incorning resouices of restricted funds when receivable. Fund accounting Funds held by the charity ore.. Unrestricted generalfunds- these are funds. which can be used in accordance with the charitable objects at the discretion of the trustees. Designoledfunds- these are funds set aside by the trustees out of unrestricted general funds for specific future purposes or projects. Restrictedfunds- these are funds that can only be used for Fxjrticular restricted purposes within the objects of the charity. Restrictions arise when specified by the donor or when funds are raised for particular purposes. Further explanation of the nature and purpose of each fund is included in the notes to the accounts. Resources expended Expenditure is recognised on an accruals basis as a liability is incurred. Expenditure includes VAT where applicoble and is reported as part of the expenditure to which it relates. The charity is unable to recover input VAT on goods and services. Costs of generating funds comprise the costs associated with attracting voluntary income and the costs of trading for fundrasing purposes. Charitable expenditure comprises those costs incurred by the charity in the delivery of its activities and services for its beneficiaries. It includes both costs that can be allocated dart$, D¢)ncoster CommuntyArtsAnnual Report & Financial 5tolements Year Ended 31 st March 2022
directly to such activities and those costs of an indirect nature necessary to support them. Governance costs include those associated with meeting the constitutional and statutory requirements of the charity and include the audit fees and costs linked to the strategic management of the charity. All costs are allocated between the expenditure categories of the SOFA on o basis to reflect the use of the resource. Costs relating to a particular activity are allocated directW'. others are apportioned based on the delivery staff numbers or floor area specifically allocated to the projects fallin9 Wlthin the activity. Fixed ussets The cost of fixed assets is their purchase price. together with any incidental costs of acquisition. The minimum value for capitalisation is £500. Depreciation is charged so as to write off the cost over the estimated life of the asset on o straight line basis and the principal rates are as follows.. Freehold property- 2.5% straight line Furniture and equipment - l O to 33.3% straight line Tangible fixed assets are reviewed for impairment by the Trustees at the end of each reporting period. Debtors Short term debtors are measured at transaction price. less any impairment. Loans receivable are rneasuied initially at lair value, net of transaction costs, and ale measured subsequently at amortised cost using the effective interest method. less any impoirment. Cash & cash equivolents Cash is represented by cosh in hand and deposits with finoncial institutions repayable without penalty on notice of not more than 24 hours. Cash equivalents are highly liquid investments thot mature in no more than three months from the date of acquisition and that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash with insignificant risk of change in value. 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 subsequentW ot amortised cost using the effective interest method. Pension Contributions The charity operates a money purchase defined contribution pension scheme. The contributions mode for the accounting period are treated as an expense. Key judgements & $our¢es of e$timation uncertainty The preparation of financial statements in compliance with FRSI 02 requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates and requires management to exercise judgement in applying the company's accounting policies. The trustees have deemed that there were no particular critical accounting estimates and judgements involved in the preparation of the financial statements. dart$, D¢)ncoster CommuntyArtsAnnual Report & Financial 5tolements Year Ended 31 st March 2022
