**HOUSE OF IMAGINATION (REGISTERED NUMBER: 06173241)** 

## **REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2020** 

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 August 2020. 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). 

House of Imagination (formerly 5x5x5=creativity) is an arts research charity that improves children's life chances by helping them to explore and express their ideas and develop creative skills for life. This is achieved through exceptional and exciting creative partnerships with artists, schools, cultural centres, higher education and creative industries. Our ambition is that the benefits to society of investing in the development of children's creative thinking will be universally recognised. 

House of Imagination provides a range of spaces for children and young people to collaborate with creative professionals. It is a home for improvisation, creativity and innovation and a place to make those things visible to an international audience through research. 

## **OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES Objectives and aims** 

The objects of the Charity are the advancement of education and in particular: 

- working in partnership with educators and artists, and with museums, galleries, theatres and other artistic and cultural settings to support children in their exploration, communication and expression of creative ideas; 

- producing and disseminating research and guidance on creative values, relationships, dispositions and environments in order to help develop children as confident, creative thinkers; and 

- Providing integrated training and mentoring for educators, artists and cultural centres. 

During 2019-20 we have continued to develop the Vision and Strategy for the House of Imagination, now an award-winning charity providing cultural and educational infrastructure to Bath, Bristol and the SW region. The charity continues to develop a national and international reputation, working alongside key academics, artists, cultural and creative partners and pioneers to provide stimulating events and creative sites for pedagogical innovation, with integrated professional development and evaluation. 

The charity also directly supports a wider creative ecology through co-ordinating a number of key multi-sector and multi-partner networks, including Bath Cultural Education Partnership (BCEP), the South West Creative Education Hub, RSA Bath and What Next? Chapter West. 

Since March 2020 due to COVID19, we lost the opportunity for face-to-face collaboration with creative partners, artists, schools and young people. However, thanks to emergency funding from Arts Council England we were able to pivot swiftly to a digital platform to ensure our ongoing work both locally and internationally. 

We continue to work with colleagues to deepen thinking, challenge perceptions and stimulate change. We are working to contribute to the international and critical debate about education in a social democracy, to build an educational culture and creative environments that can change lives. As an organisation, House of Imagination is committed to ensuring services are inclusive and meet the needs of all members of the community. 

## **Public benefit** 

The Trustees confirm that they have complied with the duty in section 4 of the Charities Act 2006 to have due regard to public benefit guidance published by the Charity Commission. The public benefits of the work of House of Imagination include supporting creativity in the classroom, enhancing the learning and social skills of children and making teachers and schools more confident in developing to improve learning outcomes.

## **ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE** 

## **Charitable activities - Research activity** 

House of Imagination is a research organisation with a focus on children's and young people's creative and critical thinking. In practice House of Imagination uses action research to plan and deliver innovative programmes that enable children to shape their lives through creative activity and schools to change their practices through professional development and school-based activity. At its heart is co-enquiry between children, teachers and creative professionals. House of Imagination is driven by a desire for change in both children's lives and in schools, focusing on an exploration of the possibilities that creativity offers. Children need more opportunities to develop their creativity and to experiment and teachers need more support to integrate these skills. Through research and dissemination House of Imagination provides evidence for change and helps to build a strong cultural ecology that in turn supports children, schools and creative professionals. Over this last year we have continued working closely with schools and early years settings to develop and integrate a creative and reflective pedagogy with research at the heart of the process. 

HOI places children and young people at the heart of its work as co-creators, co-enquirers and co-learners. This creative collaborative learning approach helps develop critical thinking and communication skills. Crucially, it places value on the process of learning rather than pre-defined outcomes. HOI occupies a unique space within the creative and cultural learning sector that few can rival. The charity anchors its work within robust, academically underpinned research married to live case-studies and dynamic cross-sector partnerships. Programmed activities develop directly from this nexus responding to findings, need and lines of enquiry. This positioning enables it to operate fluidly without boundaries across local, regional and international spheres, attracting artists and creative talent from the UK and overseas. The charity's expertise in Creative Pedagogy is well documented and established over 20 years, with its credibility and rigor mirrored in an array of successful collaborations.

## **ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE** 

## **Activities of the Charity: Highlights of our research activity** 

**Bath Cultural Education Partnership** supports the development of cultural education provision for under-served children and young people in Bath and North East Somerset with House of Imagination working in partnership with  Bath Spa University, the egg theatre, Bath Festivals, Holburne Museum and Mentoring Plus. BCEP produced a vision statement as an invitation to all cultural organisations in B&NES to focus on access and provision for creative and cultural education for all children and young people. ArtsBathnes event 7 February with Bath's MP Wera Hobhouse included an introduction to The Arts Council's new 10 year strategy from Sarah Crown, Director for Literature, and explored ideas and ways of working together with the Bath arts' community. BCEP partners are scoping the possibility of establishing a Bath Cultural Education Trust as a future National Portfolio Organisation. BCET will incorporate and manage a coordinated approach to cr eative and cultural learning with children and young people across the region. 

Members of the Bath Cultural Education Partnership steering group were successful in our individual bids for emergency funding from Arts Council England. This funding meant that collectively, we devoted 10% of our ACE grants (£12,800) to working with artists to co-design new creative activities that will be delivered to families in  B&NES who have been significantly impacted by the COVID-19 crisis. Bath Spa University is supporting this initiative by funding a Digital Internship, enabling the project to have a longer-term digital presence. BCEP will work in partnership with local schools and organisations in the area to reach out to those in need. 

**School Without Walls:** Staff meetings with schools fed into a bespoke programme of professional development and learning in preparati on for a future funding bid to Paul Hamlyn Foundation. 

**Forest of Imagination:** Normally a five day contemporary art and architecture event and joint initiative with Grant Associates funded by Grant Associates, Bath Spa University and Arts Council England. Forest of Imagination 2020 pivoted to a digital platform and generated a Virtual Forest of Imagination 2020, alongside local and international artists and designers. This involved 10 weeks of excellent creative activity with diverse audiences, in collaboration with the Big Draw team, Children's Art Week, Clayhill Arts and Bath City Farm. Virtual Forest 2020 was an online virtual festival with creative live-streamed activities, interviews, special talks and spotlights on artists worldwide whose practice focuses on environmental issues and climate change. In partnership with Avon Wildlife Trust, House of Imagination has made a proposal to the Council for a permanent Forest of Imagination at Entry Hill Golf Course, involving a tender process in Autumn 2020. 

**SW Creative Education Hub:** professional development learning opportunities for educators and creative professionals funded by Comino Foundation, drawing on existing and emerging clusters of educational practice and expertise and providing outstanding creative education for children and young people, underpinned by continuing professional development for participants. Partners include Bath Spa University, University of Bath, University of Bristol, University of West of England and University of Gloucestershire plus regional creative industries include Grant Associates, Feilden Clegg Bradley Studios, Knowle West Media Centre and local education partnerships. The focus of hub meetings with heads and creative partners in 2020 has been to co-design relevant professional development for teachers in response to need, especially in the li ght of COVID19. 

**Re-imagining Libraries:** HoI has played an active role in the vision group working with Bath Spa University, University of Bath, Bath College to re-imagine the city centre Library in Bath as a space for thinking, creating and innovating. The links to the WECA funded iSTART (Innovation, Science, Technology, Arts, Research and Training) project and the Bath Qu ays development. 

**House of Imagination** was an industry partner in the Bristol and Bath Creative R&D Expanded Performance programme (May-September 2020), with a focus on co-designing an adaptive podcast for young people in  collaboration with BBC Creative R&D. HoI also ran joint professional development courses in 2020 with Bath Spa University and Sightlines Initiative . 

**Thinking Differently:** work with Neurodiverse and Special Needs Children in Worcestershire, Hertfordshire and Shropshire, with onli ne mentoring and professional development.

## **Future Aims and Objectives** 

This review process has resulted in the following key achievements: 

- effective financial management, fundraising and relationship building 

- a strong affiliation with Bath Spa University and the Centre for Culture and Creative Industries 

Our aims over the next three years are: 

- to continue our research alongside children and young people, educators, policy makers, creative professionals and families to improve children's life chances 

- to support children in exploring and expressing their ideas and developing creative skills for life through the themes of children's voices, creative communities and a hopeful future 

- to establish House of Imagination as a thought leader in the national and international dialogue about creative education in order to contribute to shaping a more humanitarian and democratic society 

- to seek longer term funding to ensure steady growth and long term sustainability. 

## **FINANCIAL REVIEW** 

## **Reserves policy** 

It is the policy of the charity to have three months of operating costs in reserves. 

## **Financial Review** 

The Board of Trustees has continued to develop its capacity to analyse the impact of House of Imagination and to set  the overall direction for the charity. We continue to invest in the quality of our work and thereby to increase its impact on the participants in our research in the South West and also on policy and practice further afield. 

Arts Council emergency funding in May 2020, enabled the charity to continue to operate with confidence. House of Imagination already achieves a huge amount on a modest budget due to the credibility of its innovations and the passionate and dedicated creative leadership of the Director and Trustees. With the Arts Council funding we were able to mitigate the immediate risks to the charity, giving it time to adapt agilely and re-emerge tempered to meet the challenges ahead. We were able to safeguard the team and gave assurance to partners and pivotal networks such as BCEP that HOI was able to continue to provide the crucial facilitation and leadership role it plays. For very many individual artists, creative practitioners, families and cultural organisations across Bath and Bristol, HOI acts as the  'glue' holding together an accessible and creative cultural offer. Without these funds, existing commitments to artists and partners would have been under threat and high-impact programmes such as 'Forest of Imagination' halted. COVID 19 was a catalyst to hone thinking around new ways of working, with a focus on how we extend meaningful digital engagement responding dynamically and collaboratively to best meet the challenges head-on.
