-
Promote interaction and exchange between communities and different generations.
-
Provide advice, opportunities, training and learning in creative and media skills.
-
Push the creative boundaries of digital technologies.

As in previous years the provision of media services was a major source of income, much of this work was performed in tandem with the direct charitable work.
Reserves policy
The Reserves policy is to maintain sufficient reserves in order for the charity to meet its charitable objectives.
Many of the projects undertaken are fully funded and are treated as restricted fund activities. Over the duration of these projects it is anticipated that the restricted funds will be fully utilised and then the fund will close. If a fund is negative it is on the basis that future funding has been obtained to restore the restricted fund to a nil balance. Small deficits are funded from the unrestricted fund.
The unrestricted fund is used for working capital requirements. The trustees have no plans to build up the reserves, other than for working capital requirements. The trustees plan that the unrestricted reserves should equal approximately 3 months spending requirements.
FUTURE PLANS
The priorities for the 2021/2022 financial year are:
-
Build on innovative engagement (including online) and use of new technologies to create projects and opportunities that promote heritage, health & wellbeing and digital story telling within communities
-
Promote positive environmental messages and raise awareness of climate change through the arts and creativity
-
Build on making our work more accessible and inclusive to people of different cultural backgrounds, gender, and ability.
STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT Governing document
The charity is controlled by its governing document, a deed of trust, and constitutes a limited company, limited by guarantee, as defined by the Companies Act 2006.
Recruitment and appointment of new trustees
When a vacancy arises a new trustee is searched for who will have the required skills, experience and expertise needed in order to strengthen the existing Board. All potential trustees have to complete a brief application form and are interviewed by the other board members.

Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of One to One Development Trust
Independent examiner's report to the trustees of One to One Development Trust ('the Company')
I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Company for the year ended 31 March 2021.
Responsibilities and basis of report
As the charity's trustees of the Company (and also its directors for the purposes of company law) you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 ('the 2006 Act').
Having satisfied myself that the accounts of the Company are not required to be audited under Part 16 of the 2006 Act and are eligible for independent examination, I report in respect of my examination of your charity's accounts as carried out under section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 ('the 2011 Act'). In carrying out my examination I have followed the Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5) (b) of the 2011 Act.
Independent examiner's statement
I have completed my examination. I confirm that no matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe:
-
accounting records were not kept in respect of the Company as required by section 386 of the 2006 Act; or
-
the accounts do not accord with those records; or
-
the accounts do not comply with the accounting requirements of section 396 of the 2006 Act other than any requirement that the accounts give a true and fair view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination; or
-
the accounts have not been prepared in accordance with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice for accounting and reporting by charities (applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102)).
I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention.
The accounts have been prepared on the going concern basis, as there are no material uncertainties about the charity's ability to continue. Based on the adequacy of the charity's reserves as at the balance sheet date, along with their knowledge of the charity's ability to meet bills, payments and other liabilities as they fall due, the directors have a reasonable expectation that the charity has sufficient resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future.

Priorities and how we have met them
2020-21 has been an extremely busy year despite the difficulties of Covid-19. We have been able to continue delivery and because of the pandemic took on some important work addressing community need. We have been documenting this unusual year and finding alternative ways of engagement and delivery by increasing our digital offer.
We have been able to use our skills and knowledge to help support participants, groups and other charities understand and utilise the digital world that has been imperative as the main way of communication and engagement during lockdown.
Despite the challenges of Covid, and some projects going “on hold”, or unable to happen, this year has been insightful, rewarding and has connected us with potential new partners for the future.
For 2020-21 we identified two priorities for the year:
-
Ongoing development of our work in heritage, health and wellbeing and digital storytelling.
-
Using our skills and expertise in digital technologies to support communities and organisations through the Covid-19 pandemic.
During this year we have delivered 18 projects with hundreds of participants of all ages. The following case studies highlight the range of work undertaken as part of our priorities for the year.
Chester House Estate
2020/21 saw a new partnership with the Chester House Estate who plan open as a major visitor attraction in Autumn 2021. This important national historic site based in Northamptonshire on the banks of the River Nene in Irchester, is a £14.5m project funded by Northamptonshire County Council and the National Lottery Heritage fund. Steeped in history dating back 10,000 years, the Chester House Estate will also be home to
Page 20
the Northamptonshire Archaeological Resource Centre, a state-of-the-art facility that will act as the publicly accessible archaeological archive store for the county.
Our previous work in the Nene Valley led to this new partnership supporting Chester House Estate’s digital engagement and becoming an education partner through producing a film, a website and other interactive digital material.
The film ‘History in the Making’ gives a fascinating insight into the story of the Chester House Estate and its ambitions for the future. Both the film and new website https://chesterhouseestate.org/ were launched in February 2021 in preparation for the public launch later in the year. The relationship is ongoing, and we look forward to developing further projects in 2021 and beyond.
Be Kind to Yourself and to Others
In the summer we launched a bi-lingual smoking awareness campaign called ‘Be Kind to Yourself and to Others’ with partners from Public Health. The project began in 2019 with a research phase and then engagement workshops with families exploring why smokers from the Polish community were not accessing quit smoking support services.
Working with children and families we created two animations – one showing a father and son https://vimeo.com/395267481 and the other a mother and daughter https://vimeo.com/395267166 where the child is asking the parent to stop smoking.
The animations alongside a poster campaign were shown extensively on social media, on websites and used across the district, on billboards, digital screens in The Ridings Shopping Centre, in doctors’ surgeries, at bus stops and at Mid Yorkshire Hospital Trust.

Our Earth Your Choice
We were pleased to be awarded funding from Creative Challenge - Wakefield Council to design and produce a new multiplatform video game about the importance of protecting the environment. We have been working with 25 young people aged 8 to 20 years across 4 groups who are helping to co-produce this game through a series of regular weekly online workshops and master classes. A lot of the young people have fed back that this project has been helpful for their mental health and wellbeing during lockdown. Our Earth Your Choice will be launched as a “prototype” game during Wakefield Council’s Festival of the Earth in Summer 2021. https://ourearthyourchoice.co.uk
Stories of Insight
We created a series of podcasts telling the stories of local people with sight loss and how they managed during Covid-19. We worked closely with members of Wakefield District Sight Aid on this arts engagement project helping combat loneliness during lockdown. These inspirational stories are now available to listen to online and offer a fascinating insight into the lives of the visually impaired community. Young and old interviewees talked about how they have coped with isolation and lockdown restrictions and share their personal stories - reflective and told with humour and resilience. Stories of Insight gives voice to a
community that is often not heard and has created a legacy of important experiences at this unprecedented time. The project was funded as a Creative Challenge by Wakefield Council and forms part of an exhibition about the community response to Covid ‘Together and Apart’ launching in June 2021. https://onetoonedevelopment.org/portfolio/stories-of-insight/

Local Story
Local Story was commissioned by Wakefield’s Council’s Director of Public Health, Anna Hartley to create an online snapshot of the Wakefield community’s response to the pandemic. People went the extra mile to support their community and the voluntary sector pulled together to meet local needs. Grass root stories were submitted to an online portal. These stories included: a mural artist painting tributes to the NHS on walls of business premise (with permission) and to give local people some inspiration when everything was closed; and a Scarecrow Festival where residents created scarecrows for a village trail as a thank you to key workers working throughout the pandemic. Children from an adventure playground recorded a short poignant poem co-written by poet Matt Abbott, which captures all that is special about community resilience and people pulling together to look out for each other. The project was so successful that to give it longevity, the content will be turned into a virtual museum, capturing the year of the pandemic. - https://onetoonedevelopment.org/portfolio/local story/
Virtual Gallery for Space2
We created a virtual online gallery for Leeds-based arts organisation Space 2. ‘Unlocked’: Inspiration from Isolation’ is a collection of artwork and projects made during Covid by the local community working with artists. This is Space2’s first digital gallery and they have plans to work with us to develop the virtual gallery space further. Emma Tredidden, Creative Director, described the new digital space as ‘ground-breaking in its approach.’ https://onetoonedevelopment.org/portfolio/space2-unlocked/

Young people dealing with loss
During Covid-19 we have been working with the charity Star Bereavement to run an online arts programme to help children and young people who have recently lost a loved one to be creative through writing, spoken word, animation, and music. We invited in artists with specific skills to support these activities. This is part of a larger project we are working on with Star Bereavement to create a new website to support young people who are coping with bereavement.

Mental Health Support for Young People
Young people’s mental health has been particularly affected during Covid-19, so we were really pleased to have teamed up with Young Lives Consortium/Wakefield Council to create WF I CAN – the online resource for children and young people in Wakefield. Designed and structured with input from young people, this comprehensive site offers advice on a wide range of important areas including relationships, how to look after yourself, healthy eating and Covid-19 - and signposts to other organisations offering help. It also offers a live online chat service with support workers. https://onetoonedevelopment.org/portfolio/wf-i-can/
