Report of the Trustees for the Year Ended 31 March 2023
The trustees who are also directors of the charity for the purposes of the Companies Act 2006, present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 March 2023. The trustees have adopted the provisions of Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019).
OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES
Objectives and aims
In planning the activities for the year at trustee meetings the Board and Chief Executive kept in mind the Charity Commission's guidance on public benefit.
The charity exists to:
-
Enhance civic pride and community spirit.
-
Raise awareness and promote opportunities for cultural diversity, social inclusion and education through the use of film, digital media and the arts.
-
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.
-
Support any other charitable objectives agreed as a priority by the trustees.
Significant activities
A review of significant activities undertaken by the Charity in relation to the objects are included in the detailed report by the Chief Executive, which is attached to this report and financial statements.
Public benefit
The charity trustees have complied with their duty to have due regard to the guidance on public benefit published by the commission in exercising their powers or duties.
ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE
Charitable activities
The Chief Executive's report at the end of this report and financial statements includes a summary of the main achievements of the charity in the year.
FINANCIAL REVIEW
Financial position
The net assets of the Charity at the year end were £112,022 (2022: £115,875). Of these funds the unrestricted balance was £112,022 (2022: £101,896) and the total restricted funds were £NIL (2022 £13,979).

FINANCIAL REVIEW
Principal funding sources
During the year major grants were received from:
| Wakefeld Council Nenescape Creatve Art House |
31.03.2023 £ 4,748 5,000 - 9,748 |
31.03.2022 £ 21,548 5,000 3,000 29,548 |
|---|---|---|
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 6 months spending requirements.
FUTURE PLANS
The priorities for the 2023/24 financial year are:
-
Continue our core work within communities promoting heritage, health & wellbeing and digital storytelling using a range of technologies and creative approaches.
-
Expand our knowledge and creative practice in XR, games and immersive media to support and facilitate meaningful opportunities for young people.
-
Use our own extensive film archive and key community projects that can be developed further, to provide opportunities and increase positive change for Wakefield communities.
-
Aspire to bring environmental sustainability increasingly into our creative practice and organisation.
STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT

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 2023.
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.

Compiled by Judi Alston CEO
About Us
One to One Development Trust is a charitable media/arts organisation. Using a variety of creative approaches and technologies we work with organisations and communities to create exciting, engaging, and innovative projects, positively changing lives for the better.
Our work is local, national, and sometimes international. We consistently push the boundaries with technology, creating innovative films, apps, games, and online applications to raise awareness, share knowledge, increase aspiration and make a positive difference to people’s lives.
We offer meaningful engagement, creative excellence, best practice in our field and high production standards across all aspects of our work.
Our Vision
To bring creative experiences and opportunities to all people, particularly those not engaging in the arts or marginalised for whatever reason. We believe that creativity can make a real difference to people’s lives, to express, shape and improve their health and wellbeing, sense of place and community. We believe access to technology offers great potential for creative expression, giving individuals and communities a way to communicate and be heard, and access knowledge whilst increasing digital literacy and aspiration.
Our Purpose
Is achieved by:
-
Enhancing community spirit through meaningful engagement
-
Using film, game design, podcasts, digital media, and the arts to promote positive opportunities for all, celebrate cultural diversity, social inclusion, and learning
-
Promoting interaction and exchange between communities and different generations
-
Providing advice, opportunities, training and learning in our areas of specialism
-
Pushing the creative boundaries with digital technologies

-
Mindful, sensitive, and non-judgemental
-
Constantly aiming for best practice and high production standards in all aspects of our work
Overview of the Year
This year saw a significant change with Covid lockdowns easing making it possible to resume in face to face work again. We have continued to maintain a hybrid approach, combining in-person work with online interaction. This works effectively for us and is a positive take-away from the previous two years, particularly as now many of our partner organisations are much more ITsavvy than they were pre-pandemic.
Within our programme of work over the last twelve months we have developed projects or expanded on existing work that addresses our five priorities outlined in last year’s Annual Report (2021-22). In this report we reflect on how we have been meeting our priorities and give a snapshot of the organisation as it is in 2022/23.
Case Study : Priority 1
Work within communites promotng heritage, health & wellbeing and digital storytelling through a range of technologies and creatve approaches. The Big Conversaton
Through a long track record of working with colleagues in Public Health, we were asked to become a delivery partner in a new project called The Big Conversation.
Our role has been to work with the lead team to create all the public facing campaign design, website, branding needed to launch the project, in a style that appealed to the general public. Our role then expanded to then document the engagement activities on film and support the council team in communicating the ethos of the project across different media platforms.

Wakefield Council trained over 100 staff, local councillors, young people and community champions in Appreciative Inquiry, an asset-based approach to dialogue and engagement that can be utilised by communities, organisations, and teams. The aim was to create meaningful conversation, encouraging a more open-ended dialogue where people are trained to listen rather than lead.
The findings of this work over a year will help inform future strategy and promote a culture of change in how a statutory body engages with its residents.
We produced:
-
A bright, fresh website with a comprehensive private resource area for people trained as Conversationalists through the project.
-
Over 100 marketing assets created - including logo packs, animated social media and various document templates.
-
10 films/ film clips engaging 40 people in direct contribution which have been viewed 4,278 times in six months.
We were delighted that Wakefield Council were a finalist in the Local Government Chronicle Awards 2023 for The Big Conversation.
Case Study: Priority 2
Our Earth Your Choice
Our participatory climate change project Our Earth Your Choice started in December 2020, and a video game co-produced with 25 young people aged 8 to 20 years old.
On 2nd June 2022, we officially launched Our Earth Your Choice. We were delighted to have the Mayor of Wakefield Metropolitan District Council Councillor David Jones, the Mayoress, Mrs Annette Jones, and Cllr Jack Hemingway, Deputy Leader and Cabinet Member for Climate Change, to share in the celebration with participants and families of the project at our home, The Art House in Wakefield. The game is available through the project website with PC and Mac versions and on games platform itch.io
In September, we launched the online virtual evaluation gallery for the project, documenting the process and impact of the project for our funder Wakefield Council. The evaluation gallery gives an insight into how we embedded the Wakefield Resilience Framework into the participation workshops with the young people, giving an in-depth breakdown of each skill we chose to focus on, including teamwork and confidence building.

Two of the participants from the project, Tiara Ashworth and Madison Newbold, alongside our CEO/Creative Director, Judi Alston and Digital Director, Andy Campbell, were invited to present the project at an international conference for paediatric doctors. Tiara and Madison went on to have their presentation, published in Milestones - the international magazine of The Royal Society of Paediatricians and Child Health.
“Fascinating to hear about a climate change game co-created with young people. A brilliant illustration of innovative ways of engaging with young people to tackle climate anxiety.” Dr Anne-lise Godding
In January 2023, the project won the national Climate Award 2022 from the Culture Health & Wellbeing Alliance. This has been a huge boost for our team and an award we will be proud of for a very long time. Our Earth Your Choice was more far reaching and influential than we ever expected. We will continue to build on this project in 2023/24.
Having built up some financial reserves in the previous year we have been able to invest these funds into particular projects where we see considerable community benefit like Our Earth Your Choice . It is worth noting that some of the excellent projects in our portfolio offer a great legacy and have the potential to be developed further. Building on the success of this, we have identified and are exploring other previous projects, which we can develop further and could be supported by further funding which we will seek in 2023/24.
Case Study: Priority 3
Expand our capacity to deliver XR* and game projects through up-skilling the team, developing new partnerships and increasing our range of freelancers.
( *XR is an umbrella term that covers virtual reality (VR), augmented reality (AR), and mixed reality MR)
Our CEO/Creative Director, Judi Alston, completed a 6 month ‘Advance’ training programme run by Creative UK for video game production studios, to support this expanding area of our work. Following this professional development programme, we were invited to work with The University of York’s Screen Industries Growth Network (SIGN) to create a new educational game as part of a nationally significant research project.
Page 22
Play Your Way Into Production is an online game also available in Virtual Reality that opens up the world of TV and film production. Players will discover what a typical day on set looks like for entry level roles, gaining valuable skills and industry knowledge in the process. Screen industry employers report that they are unable to recruit graduates with the right skills for junior production roles, citing lack of industry understanding and ‘people skills’ as barriers to employment. Traditionally, these are picked up through in-person work experience on set. Work experience is usually unpaid, therefore inaccessible to many. Recent research in the use of applied games and XR technologies for training purposes has shown that situational skills training can be facilitated through these novel approaches.
This project gave four young people paid internships who worked with our creative team and increases our opportunities to support freelance creatives.
The game will launch in autumn 2023 and will be hosted on a newly created website https://playyourwayintoproduction.com/
Case Study: Priority 4
To expand our freelance team with experienced youth/community workers
Our work with young people has been an important focus throughout the year. In the spring of 2022, we received grant funding from Wakefield Libraries to expand a previous project Zero Gravity Lunar Library and develop it for young audiences as an education resource. We worked with young people in libraries and schools to create a new version of this project that encourages digital literacy through gaming technology.
Funding from Wakefield Libraries enabled us to bring an education worker into our team for this project to create a prototype education pack for the project which we tested with Year 6 in Mackie Hill Primary School. This research with lesson plans were a good addition to the project and led to relationships that we hope to build on in the future. The lesson plans cover National Curriculum Key Stage 2 English (reading), Maths, and Science for years 3, 4, 5 and 6 so that the project has the potential to be delivered in schools by practitioners/teachers. We hope to look at ways to further develop this project for use in schools, including getting the resource pack designed in alignment with the project.

Case Study: Priority 5
Refne our ofer and profle as a Learning Organisaton* especially in our partnerships with Universites
*A Learning Organisation encourages learning through personal/professional growth and knowledge transfer
Heritage projects formed an important part of our year including more film work telling the story of Chester House Estate in Northamptonshire. Our latest film in this series was launched to around 1,000 people at a public event opened by the Princess Royal, acknowledging the first year of this significant heritage attraction.
Through presenting our work at ‘Merged Futures’ at the University of Northampton in June 2022, we inspired the University to develop one of our ideas for a heritage trail which went on to be developed for release by a new student start-up in the summer of 2023.
Our work at Chester House Estate has led to a new partnership with University of Leicester for a project working with the archaeology department which will start in 2023/24.
Two virtual museums were launched this year: Phoenix Dance Theatre, celebrating 40 years of their story, and Rugby League in the North East.
Since 2014 we have continued to refine our style and approach to support organisations who don’t have physical room for a museum and explore ways in which their heritage can be displayed and promote engagement with wider audiences. Through this active process of cocreation, we are helping other cultural and sporting organisations extend their tools for digital engagement to a wider audience and enhancing their staff and volunteer knowledge through onjob training and mentoring.
Virtual community spaces are still proving really popular post-pandemic, as evidenced by a current virtual museum project for Hull Kingston Rovers Rugby League Community Foundation, funded by the University of Hull, launching at the end of August 2023.

Page 27
One to One is keen to support young people, and one of these volunteers is now working as a paid member of the team. We asked Tiara to write her story.
Tiara’s Story
“I first started with One to One in 2020, when I applied to be part of the Our Earth Your Choice project. As I was one of the older participants I took on a volunteering role. This meant that I helped out at events, contributed lots of artwork and learnt 3D modelling skills.
During the launch event for OEYC , I showed people how to play the game and helped write down bugs and feedback, I also presented the Mayor and his wife with flowers and an OEYC water bottle after they gave each participant a certificate for their part in the project.
In November 2022, I attended #RCPCHyouth2022 conference in Birmingham and I presented to an audience of around 300 doctors and around 500 online. I spoke about OEYC and the importance of the game and Climate Change. I was really proud of this achievement as I’ve never done anything like that before and I was speaking about something that I find really important. Presenting at this conference led to being included in an article in Milestones Magazine, the international magazine of The Royal Society of Paediatricians and Child Health.
Also in November 2022, I officially started working with One to One on an internship from University of York on the Play Your Way Into Production project. After I started learning 3D modelling during OEYC , I really enjoyed it and was excited to work on this project too and enhance my skills. Through this project I have learnt a lot about details whilst making 3D models.
I have also attended some visits to York University where we have done presentations as a team. I had a look around the Film Lab which gave me insight into this world and lots on inspiration! I have really enjoyed working with One to One so far. It’s been really fun and I’ve learnt so much stuff that I wouldn’t have done otherwise. I enjoy how everyone comes together to talk about things and then we all go off and work on our own bits to put into the project. It feels like a really great team, everyone works together really well. I feel very very supported which I think is important when you’re learning new things and it has helped me grow my skills significantly during this time!”
