Introduction by the Chair of Trustrts
Like with many organi5ation& 2021 wos an exceptional year forth¢ Instiwte of Imagination {iOi) in 50 many ways. (
the one hand, our purpose has n¢ver clearer. or more essential within the cornmunities w¢ Serve. And of course on
Ehe other hand, organisations of all foms have faced never before seen challenges across every aspec( of their work-
from p¢opl¢, to strategy, to funding- creating fimdamental shit15 in the v¢ry nature of their exrstence.
Forso many of us. it isclearthat this lastyearh&5 had the most acut¢ impad on thechildren in oursociety. M￿ginalIsed
in number5 th* is perhaps unrnatched in living memory. children have been threatened with l(K)sing access io education,
farnily, friends and other social and support structures. even food and shelter. The essence of what defm¢5 chilthocrtt
and the means of growth and development ihar every child. everywhere, d¢serv¢5 &$ an inalienable right.
Th¢ mission ofthe loi has never been more relevarti and rteeded.
l am extremely proud of the team who, often through their own personal clJallen8es. re41oubled their commirment to
this mission. A5 d¢scribed below. th¢ pivot to on-line acceletzted during 20214nd we delivered prtsgTarnS to more than
33,000 people including 27.CIJO children through virtual and hybrid experiences. Organisationally, we faced these
¢hallenges head on by growing our capabilities with key new team m¢mber& who quickty got up io Speed and helped
to devel(Trp and grow our progTammes in both scope and reach. Together. the team has dynamically evolved our straiegy
lo enable us to lean into our impad objxtiV¢S.
And through ihis WOTk. we saw with clarity that whil¢ the thallenges of this past year prevented much for i)ur childr¢n,
the on¢ thing thes¢ events could not slow was their insatiable imagination5, the gift intrinsic in every young person's
mind, evcrywhere. I hope this repon gives you a thorough insight into the great work we a¢hieved durin8 this year.
l encourag¢ you to join us in our mission. and supw)rt our ￿lief that "imaginatton is the source of all human
achievemeni" Sir Ken Robinson {I950- 2020), ioi Founding Patron.

Report from the CEO
Children today face an uncerrain fijture and that Iincertkrnry is compounded for marginalis¢d and disadv¥ntaged
children. 65Va of children entering primary school ioday will ultimat¢ly end up WOTking in completely new job types
that don't yd exist and education syuems are failing to prepare them for the fijture of worf(. Children set their
aspirations as young as 7 but according to th¢ OECD. by thai age they aTeaiready facing limits on theiT fvture¥spiratitsns

Through our vital WOTK we are delivering a practical. scalable and tran5fi)mative solutiOlI. The Durham Commission

2. Prioritising Lortdon's disadvantaged tM)roughs, with 4 plan to our work regionally in areas of
disadvanthge in England to follow. If we had already begun work internationally, we would ihen cornplete this
but have Carefulty considered fu¢ure work in¢emth"onally so that we can focus OTI England as a priority in the
