Objectives and Activities

SORP reference
Summary of the purposes of the
charity as set out in its governing
document		 Para 1.17 1) TO PROMOTE, MAINTAIN, IMPROVE AND
ADVANCE EDUCATION IN THE UK BY THE
PROMOTION, PERFORMANCE AND
ENCOURAGEMENT OF THE ARTS INCLUDING
DRAMA, DANCE AND MUSIC.
2) THE PROVISION OF RECREATIONAL AND LEISURE
TIME ACTIVITIES IN THE INTERESTS OF SOCIAL
WELFARE FOR YOUNG PEOPLE LIVING IN THE UK
WHO HAVE NEED BY REASON OF THEIR YOUTH,
AGE, INFIRMITY OR DISABILITY, POVERTY OR SOCIAL
AND ECONOMIC CIRCUMSTANCES WITH A VIEW TO
IMPROVING THE CONDITIONS OF LIFE OF SUCH
PERSONS.
Summary of the main activities in
relation to those purposes for the
public benefit, in particular, the
activities, projects or services
identified in the accounts.		 Para 1.17 and
1.19		 Our vision is a community that invests in its
children’s creativity. Where all children are given
free access to the arts so they can realise their
creative potential and are inspired to build for
themselves a vibrant, diverse and connected
community. To accomplish our vision, we create
both free and affordable, accessible arts events in
Boscombe that encourage children’s participation
and engagement with the arts and local artists.
Our aims are:
•
To work towards inspiring young
imaginations, bringing young people and
creative practitioners together.
•
To give disadvantaged children (6 – 14)
from the most deprived areas of our
community, who are excluded from arts
activities by means of their poverty, the
opportunity to engage in arts events that
will improve their life skills and help
alleviate them from the issues caused by
their hardship.
•
To nurture children’s well-being by using
the arts to encourage cooperation and
problem solving, free expression,
communication, imagination, creativity and
trust building.
•
To promote children’s health through arts
activities.
•
To raise awareness of Creative Kids within
the local community and to develop and
promote its services in order to encourage
greater participation, engagement and
community cohesion.
•
To enlist workers from the voluntary sector
including work experience/placements
students
We run an Arts Education Centre & Studios
delivering the Arts Award, which includes a free
and small fee based arts education program
operational in the school holidays and at the
weekends. We offer our Studios to creative
partners for free to bring talent into the area to
inspire children in need.
We run an arts outreach program, delivering free
pop-up arts at national cultural arts festivals.
Creative Kids aspires to exceptionally high
standards of performance, promoting equality,
celebrating diversity and teaching with passion.
We believe the arts are a powerful instrument for
social change and when projects use the arts to
engage, inspire and nurture the creative potential
of children, creative communities are born and
flourish.
Statement confirming whether
the trustees have had regard to
the guidance issued by the
Charity Commission on public
benefit		 Para 1.18 We can confirm that our charity trustees have a
high regard to the commission's public benefit
guidance when exercising any powers or duties to
which the guidance is relevant.

Achievements and Performance

SORP reference
Summary of the main
achievements of the charity,
identifying the difference the
charity’s work has made to the
circumstances of its beneficiaries
and any wider benefits to society
as a whole.		 Para 1.20 Registered Arts Award Education Centre by Trinity
College London. Registered with Ofsted (voluntary
register) February 2016.
Boscombe is one of the most deprived areas in the
South West of the UK with a number of social issues
especially for the younger generation including low
attainment levels, social isolation and anti-social
behaviour.
Creative Kids directly supports local families in crisis
by offering an arts programme where young people
can develop and improve their life skills, make new
friends and socialise with new peer groups. We also
give members the opportunity to gain a national
qualification in the arts – something that, without
this support, would have never seemed possible to
most of its members.
We re-launched the Anarchy Arts Project for NEETs
age 16-21. 5 young people took part and 1 gained a
Silver Arts Award and recognition for Young Leader;
Child of Britain Awards. We aim to work with 5
more this Summer 2022.
We have served 923 subscribed members. We
offered 2,200 fully funded places to vulnerable
children this includes a new target beneficiary of
any child in receipt of free school meals and was
part funded by BCP Councils HAF (Holiday Activities
and Food) Program.
We have children listed on record with clinically
diagnosed special educational needs; these include
autism, narcolepsy, cataplexy, anxiety, multi-
sensory impairments, high functioning ADD, limited
reading and writing, dyslexia and dyspraxia. They
have used digital skills to overcome barriers to
learning. Beyond this we have several children
suffering from anxiety or trauma, have attachment
issues, are in foster care, have parents in prison or
generally have very unsettled home lives with
problems that are unknown to social services and
who are ‘under the radar’. We have worked with
and referred several families this year to external
support services to help children in need and run
keyworker observations of children in need to help
parents with referrals to Doctors and Schools and to
speed up the lengthy process of getting assessed.
The varying programmes also provide opportunities
to recruit, train and celebrate volunteers and offer
respite care toparents with complex social needs

who wish to return to work or access specific specialist support services. Creative Kids is a highly respected organisation within the local community. We offer free space to The Coda Fiddle orchestra to bring high art to the masses and have referred 23 children to free classes this year. Our core funders are The Talbot Village Trust, Alice Ellen Cooper dean, and Valentine Trust. As Sovereign Centre leaseholders, Creative Kids hold a valid Public Liability Insurance certificate and Employers Liability Insurance. The units in which we operate are managed by a qualified art professional that holds safeguarding children and first aid certificates (child specific) and the setting is Ofsted registered (voluntary) EY496668 Our Charity works in partnership with the local Volunteer Centre to recruit volunteers and The Arts University Bournemouth to recruit work placement students. The Charities Commission and The Community Action Network advise us on good practice and we access free volunteer training events hosted by Dorset Youth Association. Volunteers are regularly consulted, appraised and develop work agreements, which are reviewed periodically. Volunteers are remunerated for travel and subsistence. We work with freelance artists and creative practitioners but the majority of our team is made up of dedicated volunteers. We were not successful in our funding application to The Arts Council Projects Grant to support the development of our Creative Kids Studio space over the next two years, to increase trading income, to support and work more closely artistic partners in term time and to transition to PAYE and offer staff contracts with pensions. We have used unrestricted funds to achieve this goal and plan to reapply in September. The pandemic appears to have had an impact on the quality of staffing and it has been increasingly more difficult to find well-trained, skilled, professional staff team that is committed to expanding the reach and quality of new audiences to achieve our charitable mission for the coming years.
