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
– 18) 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 bytheir
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 ofer 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 fourish.

Commission on public

Summary of the main
achievements of the
charity, identifying the
diference the charity’s
work has made to the
circumstances of its
benefciaries and any wider
benefts 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 ofering 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
qualifcation in the arts – something that,
without this support, would have never
seemed possible to most of its members.
We completed the Anarchy Arts Project
for NEETs age 16-21. 7 young people took
part.
We currently have 968 subscribed
members. We ofered fully funded places
to vulnerable children this includes a new
target benefciary 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 sufering
fromanxiety 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 to parents 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 offered free space to The Coda Fiddle orchestra to bring high art to the masses and have referred 23 children to free classes this year. 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 have been successful in receiving continued grant funding from 3 local Trusts which has helped with the rising

cost of living. The pandemic continued to have an impact on the quality of staffing 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. It is only recently we have recruited a team of freelancers and volunteers with a varied

Financial Review

Financial Review
Review of the charity’s
fnancial position at the end
of the period
Para 1.21 Income down by £58,306 on last year due
to Gov. Covid Grant support ending and
drop in HAF grant value (see Para 1.46).
Closing Balance £17,379. Mixed income
Model; BCP HAF contract granted for 2023
which is helping to cover some core
running costs in addition to Trust Funds
and rising childcare income from parents,
enabling us to sustain a quality service
and provision. U-turn in UC benefts and
being paid childcare costs upfront is
showing signs of helping although there is
still fear of applying from some parents.
Revenue from Parents Fees was up by
£1,685 from lastyear.
Statement explaining the
policy for holding reserves
statingwhythey areheld
Para 1.22 We do not have a reserve policy.
Amount of reserves held Para 1.22 None
Reasons for holding zero
reserves
Para 1.22 We operate on a project to project basis.
Our overheads are very low due to the
value of our in-kind sponsorship e.g.

Para 1.46 None
A description of the
principal risks facing the
charity
Para 1.46 Operational Risk is relatively low (see Par.
1.22)
The current elected Board of Trustees
were drawn upon more frequently this
period as we had to navigate and
overcome many economic, HR and
operational challenges. During our most
recent AGM active Trustees voiced that
due to their own immediate extenuating
personal circumstances they would be
less involved this coming year.
We seek torecruitanew Board of

Trustees with a range of skills that will add value and support to the Charity and who will be voted in October 2023. The Towns Fund will no longer be purchasing the building we operate in for demolition which strengthens our position. HAF grant funding decreased, with tighter monitoring controls over child data and less value placed on each child’s place compared to last two year. This is set against a backdrop of increased food prices, energy and a higher living wage. This DFE Policy change has forced us to adapt the holiday program which means less children are accessing funded 10hour activities with hot lunch (as the BCP offer is at a much lower daily price point than previously set by DFE of £57 and is not sustainable in terms of staffing/food/art materials). Looking for new grant funding to fill the gap and continue to sustain our promise to local families in need. 4 hours of funded care is not enough time off and/or activities for at least 60% of our vulnerable families. Festivals have been impacted negatively by Covid so bookings have been less than previous years. We still need to find a part time Arts Education Centre Manager / job share to work in the school holidays with our new Manager, this puts pressure on the Founder to cover some shifts, who is registered disabled. New funding being sourced. Unexpected IT costs in what were ‘donated subscription services’ such as Breathe HR, and our Website are now charging which has to be factored into future budgets and Brexit impacted our free accounts app ‘Wave’ – so we migrated accounts to Sage (free Charity Edition). Gov. Covid Grant funding ended. One more year to recover would have been prudent as we are still seeing the impact of the pandemic socio-economically. Other
