Open StoryTellers ANNUAL REPORT & FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDING 31ST MARCH 2024 OPENSTORYTELLERS LIMITED (A COMPANY LIMITED BY GUARANTEE) COMPANY NUMBER 06829975 CHARITY NUMBER 1130148

Open StoryTellers Our Objectlves The Trustees have referred to the guidance contained in the Charity Commission's general guidance on public benefit when reviewing our aims and objectives and in planning our future activities. The structure and content of this report is designed to reflect the requirement to explain how the charity has operated within that guidance. The objects of the charity are: To advance the education for the public benefit and preserve and protect the health of persons who have learning and communication disabilltles, thelr famllles and carers by providing opportunities to develop stories and storytelling. To advance the education of the public in the knowledge of the art, practlce and value of oral storytelllng and In knowledge of the form and content of the oral tradition of people and cultures.

Message from the Chair In my message to you all last year, we made a commitment to be a progressive provider. We said: 'we will demonstrate active-allyship in all aspects of our work; equally value the quality of the service we deliver with the responsibility to fight for wider change. use our limited resources to further the lives of people with a learning disability not just by providing a service but by embedding real jobs and paid work into our structure. l am delighted to report that we have made real strides with this and have exceeded our own expectations in terms of paid work becoming an intrinsic part of our offer. In its simplest terms, anyone who is an artist at OpenStoryTellers can now also work for us if that is the right thing for them. We are still refining our offer and learning as we go, but l am particularly pleased to commend the section of this report called Proper Jobs to you. Employment remains one of the areas of inequality that faces the learning disability community, and our success in addressing this for our own corner of this community has emboldened us to think more widely about how our day to day operations might address other areas of stark inequality. Our motto has become 'social justice, not social care,. The amazing companies of artists have begun a major new devised performance project (Through the Front Door), and an examination of our own internal governance and PFactice, making sure we are listening to every voice and that the way we govern OpenStoryTellers is inclusive and innovative (OST & Me). I would like to thank them and my fellow trustees for their dedication and heartfelt commitment to making OpenStoryTellers the best we can be. We felt the loss of a longstanding volunteer and trustee for the organisation. Ruth Read died shortly before I sat to write this. It feels important now to honour her amazing work alongside artists at OpenStoryTellers . She is missed by everyone whose stories were enlivened and brightened by her careful and compassionate listening and encouragement. On behalf of all of us, thank you Ruth.

Arts and Expression Creative arts and expression are the 'engine room, of what happens at OpenStoryTellers. Here are some words and pictures to give you a flavour of that work in 2023 -2024. More than a Provider Conference May 2023 A group of 10 of us met new people and learned about new organisations at the More Than a Provider Conference at the M-shed in Bristol. We had our own exhibition space, we ran a workshop about Active Allyship and we even ended up opening the whole event in a surprise performance from our show Peter the Wild Boy in front of over 150 people. Frome Festival performances Jun 2023 Our Frome Feslival 2023 performances were a great success. We found new ways of enabling artists who don't usually work together (because they come on different days) to collaborate in a meaningtul, creative and dynamic way.

This was the first time we used our rooms at OpenStoryTellers as a performance space and we devised and performed with no additional project funding. It our first public perforrnance done in this way and proved to us how resourceful we can be. The performances were well attended and we received some great feedback not least from Wise Children director, Emma Rice, who attended along with her producer. The Mysterious Apple Peoplc The Creation of the Tree Room Studio Our Frome Festival show and Remembering Tree projects saw the collective creation of a life sized, enormous paper machè tree in one of our rooms. In the days and weeks after the performances, we followed threads of inspirations from our artists, and built on the almost ceremonial atmosphere held by the tree. People identified a need for a studio space where the focus could be on non-verbal exploration and creative expression. A space to move in, a space to be absorbed in a liminal quality. a space lo understand sensory storytelling. Over time we set aboul designing and setting up The Tree Room Studio. This space and some new technology has given birth to a whole new style and format of creativity which every artisl has benefitted from.

Through the Front Door Sept 2023.-- We were overjoyed to be successful in our application to the Heritage Fund for our large scale project Through The Front Door, telling stories about Ihe heritage of people with learning disabilities, through the lens of the historical buildings that have housed them. The autumn and winter of 2023 saw us recruit a project researcher who has lived experience of learning disabilities, and a project assistant. The research phase has taken us to Taunton Archives, Mendip Hospital Cemetery, Bristol Archives, Norah Fry Hospital, Frome Union Workhouse, and the further reaches of the internet, uncovering stories and systems that are by tums full of joy and sadness in equal measure. A group of nine artisvresearchers visited The Rural Life Museum to glean an understanding of some aspect of life in the time period we are looking at. This research material is now finding its way into the creative practice of our day to day work, as we devise our perlormance for The Merlin Theatre on November 29 2024. We are also making a shorl feature film {to be submitted to Oska Bright film festival), working alongside long term collaborators, Suited and Booted.

Undertow (visiting artists) October 2023 ARTS CfATrU At Openstorytellers we revel in collaborating ENGLAND with olher companies and artists. In early 2023, we were approached by artists Pauline Scott- Garrett and Emma Kerr as we work in the building RISE where Pauline was to research and create work for an exhibition called "Undertow. (for The Whittox Gallery also in the same building). NDERTOW They ran workshops with our artisls, using sensory objects so the artists could to explore the themes for themselves, creating their own unique work. The effects of the work continue to resonate and ripple throughout our organisation and we always look forward to see where we will be taken to next. For the full story". 241 211 Bradford on Avon Dec 2023 A trip was organised to Bradford-on Avon by a couple of our Friday artists. 7 of us went and visited the Tythe Barn. The excursion was a great exercise in hunting and gathering and much creative inspiration was brought back to OpenStoryTellers on the topics of: acoustics and soundscapes. pattern-making. riverflow and more.

Paul's trip to London Dec 2023 Paul undertook a personally important journey to London with our director Alex. Trips are already very significant for Paul, and this one held a special mission - entirely led and initiated by Paul - lo eat at Harrods Foodhall. Kate Adams (one of our lead creative facilitators) was appearing and musically directing Raymond Briggs 'Father Christmas at the Lyric Hammersmith. In the afternoon Alex and Paul were thrilled to represent the OpenStoryTellers community and show our support for Kate at a performance of the show. They were treated to a backstage tour - it was a day to remember. Wise Children and OpenStoryTellers It's quite a thing to have a world class theatre company in our community and we have thoroughly enjoyed getting to know the company and their work, and sharing our work with them too.

In March, 13 of us were given free tickets to see Bluebeard at the Theatre Royal Bath as part of Wise Children's commitment to sharing their work with our artists. Simon worked with Wise Children to help them understand all the barriers around access and they funded all travel costs and overtime for Ben, Kate and Simon. It's a rare thing for people to take the time to fully understand what it means financially to support access to sornething like Ihis and is an indicator of how serious they are about equalising access to their work. We have also been invited to performances at their space in Frome, The Lucky Chance. T4.PTQ %FF i Hk #THkl 11 I LENIATC14GIRI HAPPI=R T ALES F RCJM THE COMPANY CALLEI ) @WISE CHILDREN. THANKYOU SC MUCH FOR HAVING USWE TOTALLY ENJOYED THF SHOVkl. Bath SpalFrome Museum co-production Making museum spaces inclusive and accessible: From January to March, we worked in partnership with Bath Spa University co-producing access awareness in the cultural heritage sector for people with learning disabilities. The aim of our project was to raise awareness of the access neecls of people with learning disabilities in heritage spaces. such as museums. This has involved researchers coming to us at OpenStoryTellers and our artists heading out with them to Frome Museum which was used as a research and learning site. 10

Developing our own creative process This year we found new ways to bridge the gap between artists who don't usually meet. The Fragment process supports building larger pieces of devised and collaborative work from the amazing minutiae of our everyday work. Whether it's via our 'Fragments-to-Constellations' magnetic wall or in people's own art joumals, every large scale project and exhibited piece is a construction, built upon a myriad of spontaneous moments thal have been held carefully by artist and facilitator alike. This is our wall of fragments. Each time an artist creates something they want to build on, they make a small round fragment to represent that work. It is added to our magnetic fragments wall. li Other artists can then include any number of creative fragments to add to their own or build something new. The creative journey you see above resulted in work that is currently earmarked for inclusion in our Merlin performance in November 2024. All because of a tiny dolphin fragment! 11

Pigeon Productions Pigeon productions is the commercial enterprise wing of our organisation. We take on commissions from external clients which in turn allow us to provide proper jobs for any artist who comes to OpenStoryTellers. Here is a taster of our work for clients this year. Easy read services: A21 Workshops - 8 creative consultants provide an easy read checking service for A21 3 or 4 times a year. Spark Somerset - 2 creative consultants provided a one off easy read checking service on an information18aflet for Ihe Open Mental Health Community Engagement Team. Go Easy Read - Research project funded by the British Journal for Learning Disabilities. Looking at how artificial intelligence can support easy read. 5 creative consultants took part in the research in a series of workshops. WelcmtoowMus•um Frome Museum Top Tips, _ with Bath Spa University. We produced an illustrated poster, leaflet & invitation, to the launch of their project, which informed staff how to be an accessible seNice 12

Somerset Mortality Review Team Inclusion work - Building on our work developing a workshop to support inclusion around loss and bereavement, 8 creative consultants went on to run 4 workshops. We used creative tools to help people with learning disabilities talk aboul death. Hate Crime Workshops We ran 3 training sessions with a team of 6 creative consultants, to plan and prepare for the workshops. We delivered 4 workshops for groups with learning disabilities across Mendip and the police service. x7 13

Proper jobs 2023-2024 has been our year of creating proper lobs! We pride ourselves on providing real jobs, not 'opportunities', not 'training' in the hopes that someone else will one day employ people. We believe responsibility lies with all organisations to receive money to provide support to also lead the way in showing other organisations what they are missing. OpenStoryTellers now has a team of 14 salaried people. 4 of these have a learning disability which is a 1000/0 increase on the previous year. These roles are: 2x supported internships (initially a 6 month contract, extended to 12 months and recently extended to 24 months), each role works 6 hours each week. 1 x resources officer, permanent contract 1 .5 hours a week. 1 x peer mentor, permanent contract, 3 hours a week. We currently have a bank of 7 creative consultants, all of whom have a learning disability. These roles are contracted on a freelance type basis. Hours vary and are available when commissioned. Robin Meader, artist: We are honoured to continue to work with Robin on a regular basis as our preferred freelance artist. 14

OST&Me The National Lottery Community Fund is supporting us to take a deep dive into our own practice and governance to explore what it truly means to be a 'user-led' organisation when everyone has a voice. There are particular challenges and opportunities for a learning disability organisation and we got off to a flying start by employing 2 suppjrted interns to take on the design and delivery of our inilial survey. We completed the first 6 months of this project. OST & Me will find out exactly what people who come to OpenStoryTellers think about what we do and how they would like the next 5 years to develop. This is what has happened so far! We recruited out 2 project workers, Joe and Ellie, both of whom have a learning disability. They spent time learning about governance in charilies They have had 2 meetings with trustees lo discuss how the trustees can be closer to the views of OST artists They have worked with Katy Brickley, and amazing volunteer who has experience as a researcher at universities Together wilh Katy they designed and implemented consent forms for this research They designed the questions and recording formats We are very excited to find out what they discover and, with our board of Irustees, find the best ways of including people's voices in the running of OpenStoryTellers. Here is a quote from Joe: "My best achievement at work has been your work on OST & Me. I have helped people express their thoughts and feelings about OpenStoryTellers" 16
