BLOOMIN’ ' ARTS

Bloomin’ Arts is a creative arts charity driven by the voice of learning disabled adults. Our aim is to support people to live valued, creative, confident, and fulfilling lives by offering accessible, lifelong arts opportunities, participation and training, where participants voices guide the services we provide.

We provide high-quality creative experiences that recognise and develop disabled talent, build confidence and independence, and challenge perceptions of what disabled adults can achieve.

Creativity sits at the heart of everything we do, powering personal growth, wellbeing, health and connection.

A Surrey-based charity supporting adults aged 18+ with a learning and /or physical disability. We are located in Lingfield, and support people from across Surrey, Kent, West Sussex, East Sussex and South London.

“I enjoy coming here because we can meet new things and in dance we can explore and in drama we can experiment and in art, can challenge me to do new things in art and meet new people with learning disabilities such as the people from the Orpheus Centre College.” Lynne - Express It! Group Participant

Only 4.8% of learning disabled adults are in paid work, compared with 75% of the general population.

Learning disabled adults face significant barriers to opportunities, skills development, and employment. Only 4.8% are in paid work, compared with 75% of the general population.

These inequalities limit wellbeing, independence, and participation in inclusive communities. Many experience social isolation, low confidence, and fewer chances to develop their talents or be recognised for what they can achieve.

By providing accessible creative opportunities and a participant-led approach, we support learning disabled adults to develop confidence, independence, skills, and meaningful connections, while challenging societal assumptions about ability and potential.

We deliver 6 structured, 40-week creative arts courses annually, led by specialist freelance tutor-artists. Courses are small, accessible, and inclusive, allowing participants to develop their talents in ways that suit their interests, strengths, and ambitions. Throughout each course, participants work on projects that culminate in a public exhibition or performance, allowing them to demonstrate their skills, creativity, and confidence to a wider audience.

Our creative courses at Bloomin’ Arts aim to support learning disabled people to live valued, creative and confident lives that they choose, by offering accessible lifelong arts opportunities where participants’ voices guide the services and opportunities we provide.

Professional tutor-artists act as mentors, supporting participants to develop skills, build confidence, and realise and develop their creative potential. Accessibility is central to our work, ensuring every participant can take part safely and with dignity.

During 2024 to 2025 the following courses were offered for 40 weeks of the year:

By providing tailored 1:1 creative access courses, our participant artists are recognised for their talents and contributions as artists and community members, rather than defined by disability.

Through exhibitions, events, workshops, and performances, devised and developed by our participant artists, we devise inclusive spaces that benefit participant artists, volunteers, and audiences alike. These activities improve mental health and wellbeing, reduce isolation, and break down barriers to inclusion.

Our work delivers lasting social and economic value by supporting learning disabled adults towards greater independence, reducing reliance on health and support services, and strengthening inclusive, connected communities. Breaking down barriers in recognising disabled talent.

Our income has risen this year from £211,867 in 2024 to over £241,531 in 2025. Which comprised unrestricted income £195,062

(2024 - £129,335) and restricted income £46,469 (2024 - £82,532).

Expenditure by Bloomin Arts is dominated by salary and tutors fees and the running maintenance of our facilities and equipment. The total expenditure for 2025 is £211,834 (2024 - £188,101).

This is a continued increase at a time of crisis in funding in our charitable sector and reflects much hard work in applying for funding as well as the increased need for our services.

We have been successful in securing support for core cost donations this year, which enables bespoke creative training to meet individuals’ access requirements, provides access to our courses, and creates opportunities to showcase the creative work of our participant artists. This recognises the importance donors place on supporting core costs. This kind of funding, alongside unrestricted income, enables small charities to remain resilient and reduces their reliance on short-term project funding.

We were placed in the Mud Run in East Grinstead. The event generated strong local support and saw our staff team throwing themselves fully into the challenge. With the backing of the local community, we raised £1,425.

Feedback was very positive, and we have been offered places again for 2026. We hope to build on this success, raise even more funds and secure wider local support.

In the past financial year, sadly two vital creative charities supporting adults with learning and/or physical disabilities, in our area have closed their doors.

If this continues, the safety net for our most marginalised communities will disappear. These closures are not isolated; they reflect a national emergency. As highlighted in The Centre for Social Justices ‘underfunded and over looked report’, 97% of charities shutting down across the UK are small charities like ours. There has also been a £4.6 billion reduction in the support available, severely limiting opportunities for funding applications.

This year brought changes to our trustee board. Our Chair, Shirley Cooper, had to step down suddenly for personal reasons. We would like to thank her for the commitment and knowledge she shared with us during her time as both trustee and chair. Treasurer Katie McDonald also stepped down after providing a wealth of experience with bookkeeping and supporting the management of our accounts. Both have made significant contributions to Bloomin’Arts and our operations and governance.

We were pleased to welcome a new trustee, Robert McGregor, who brings expertise in marketing alongside lived experience of disability, access and inclusion.

Bloomin’ Arts is already delivering positive outcomes for one of the most marginalised communities in
the United Kingdom - learning disabled adults who often feel on the edge of society. We offer an

in May and July 2025, our Theatre Company took to the stage at Chequer Mead Theatre, East Grinstead and the Worthing Theatre Trail with ‘Hear. | AM’, a bold, devised production exploring how we connect in a fastmoving, noisy world.

Using physical theatre, original music, voice and storytelling, the show wove together characters and moments from city life, asking: what gets lost when we stop looking or listening?

Performed to a packed audience, the production highlighted the creativity, talent and teamwork of our participants, and showed the power of inclusive performance to spark reflection and connection.

THE BLOOMIN 3 ARTS DANCE COMPANY

SS ee eee ee ee SS ee SSeS Se

in June 2025, The Bloomin Arts Dance Company worked in close partnership with The Oaks Specialist College in Tanbridge to create a meaningful and inclusive project. The aim was to introduce college students, many of whom are preparing for life beyond education to the world of disability arts, and what is available to them when they leave. By working alongside the Bloomin Arts Dance Company, they saw first-hand how disabled artists produce bold, ambitious work and take to the stage with confidence, creativity and professionalism.

The performance took place at the Trinity Theatre, Tunbridge Wells and was based on the 1001 Nights collection, with our Dance Company telling the story of Sinbad the Sailor through movement.

“We were blown away by the show, we hadn't anticipated the professional level of performance our daughter was was involved in. It was truly a celebration ofbest weeveryone's we everyone's we talents.seen.” The best weeveryone's we have seen.”

Strategic Report

The trustees present the annual report together with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended August 2025.

Financial Review

Going Concern

After making appropriate enquiries, the trustees have a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. For this reason, they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements. Further details regarding the adoption of the going concern basis can be found in the Accounting Policies.

Policy on Reserves

Reserves

Donation income, income from events and participtants fees are our primary funding sources for our core fund from which we support all of the organisations fixed costs. As donated income cannot be predicted, and the success of funding bids is not guaranteed, the trustees believe it is prudent for the charity to work towards a minimum reserve equivalent to three months expenditure. This will provide:

We have a reserves policy as noted above but currently we do not have the liabilities that require reserve funding outside of our projects.

In accordance with the Charity Commission's guidelines, the Trustees review this policy annually and consequently manage the cash flow in an appropiately prudent manner. For this financial period, our income constitutes restricted grant donations £ 46,469.00, unrestricted donations and income of £ 195,662.00 our expenditure of £21, 834 anda finishing balance for reserves of £29,697.00.

The strategic report was approved by the Trustees of the charity and signed on its behalf by

The charity constitutes a public benefit entity as defined by FRS102.

4.2 Going concern

The trustees have a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. For this reason they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements.

1.3

Change in accounting policy

The financial statements present a true and fair view and no changes have been made to the accounting policies.

1.4 Company status The charity is a company limited by guarantee. The members of the company are the Trustees named on page 1. In the event of the charity being wound up, the liability in respect of the guarantee is limited to £10 per member of the charity. 1.5 Fund Accounting General funds are unrestricted funds which are available for use at the discretion of the Trustees in furtherance of the general objectives of the charity and which have not been designated for other purposes.

Restricted funds are funds which are to be used in accordance with specific restrictions imposed by donors which have been raised by the charity for particular purposes. The cost of raising and administering such funds are charged against the specific fund. The aim and use of each restricted fund is set out in the notes to the financial statements.

1.6

1.7 Incoming resources

All incoming resources are included in the Statement of financial activities when the charity is legally entitled to the income and the amount can be quantified with reasonable accuracy.

Donated services or facilities, which comprise donated services, are included in income at a valuation which is an estimate of the financial cost borne by the donor where such a cost is quantifiable and measurable. No income is recognised where there is no financial cost borne by a third party.

Income tax recoverable in relation to donations received under Gift Aid or deeds of covenant is recognised when received from HM Revenue & Customs.

1.8 Resources expended

All expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been included under expense categories that aggregate all costs for allocation to activities. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular activities they have been allocated on a basis consistent with the use of the resources.

Governance costs are those incurred in connection with administration of the charity and compliance with constitutional and statutory requirements.

All resources expended are inclusive of irrecoverable VAT.

Turnover comprises revenue recognised by the charity in respect of goods and services supplied during the period.

1.10 Cash and cash equivalents

Cash is represented by cash in hand and deposits with financial institutions repayable without penalty on notice of not more than 24 hours. Cash equivalents are highly liquid investments that mature in no more than three months from the date of acquisition and that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash with insignificant risk of change in value.

Individual fixed assets costing £1,000 or more are capitalised at cost and are depreciated over their estimated useful economic lives, on a straight line basis as follows:

Depreciation is provided on the following basis: Computer equipment - 3 years straight line Other equipment - 4 years straight line

Fixed assets purchased with grant funding are expensed in the year of purchase.

1.12 Creditors

Short term creditors are measured at the transaction price. Other financial liabilities, including bank loans, are measured initially at fair value, net of transaction costs, and are measured subsequently at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

1.13 Financial instruments

The Charity only enters into basic financial instruments transactions that result in the recognition of financial assets and liabilities like trade and other debtors and creditors, loans from banks and other third parties and loans to related parties.

Debt instruments that are payable or receivable within one year, typically trade debtors and creditors, are measured, initially and subsequently, at the undiscounted amount of the cash or other consideration expected to be paid or received. However, if the arrangements of a shortterm instrument constitute a financing transaction, like the payment of a trade debt deferred beyond normal business terms or financed at a rate of interest that is not a market rate or in case of an out-right short-term loan not at market rate, the financial asset or liability is measured, initially, at the present value of the future cash flow discounted at a market rate of interest for a similar debt instrument and subsequently at amortised cost.

1.13 Pensions

Defined contribution pension plan

The Charity operates a defined contribution plan for its employees. A defined contribution plan is a pension plan under which the Charity pays fixed contributions into a separate entity. Once the contributions have been paid the Charity has no further payment obligations. The contributions are recognised as an expense in the Statement of financial activity when they fall due. Amounts not paid are shown in accruals as a liability in the Balance sheet. The assets of the plan are held separately from the Charity in independently administered funds.
