Achievements and perfornianee
The past 12 months have been a period of strategic review and development for the charity, culminating in creating a

programme, Olir n)le and plaec within the sc¢tor, and th¢ chl¢ ngingF needs of oiir community.
It is abundantly clear that those who are excluded, marginalised, impoverished, and discriminated against by the
structure of our society continue to face an unequal impact of the cosl-of-living Lrisis. climate emergency,
impending recession. The urgency of the need for chaiigye is ixith absolute and incontrovertible.
This is brought into even greater focus by the legacy and impact of BlackLivesMatter, WeShallNotBeRemoved
movements, and growing LGB TQL+ discrimination. We continue lo ask ourselves how we have been part of the problem
in the past- and how we can help drive chEMg)e Lioing foNard.
We continue oiir joiimey with oiir commiinity and oiir artists to proactively challenge this inequality and commit to our
niission of Arts as Social Change through ¢o-¢r¢iltion with our Coinmunity.
