| Summary of the main activities undertaken for the public benefit in relation to these objects (include within this section the statutory declaration that trustees have had regard to the guidance issued by the Charity Commission on public benefit) |
Throughout the year, especially during planning meetings, the trustees have taken into account the guidance issued by the Charity Commission on public benefit (ref. ‘public benefit requirement’, The Charities Act, 2011). Outreach projects: a) In close consultation with City of York Council and their HAF projects (Holiday Activities & Food Projects), working every school holiday with young people who receive FSM (Free School Meals) and have experienced poverty, fully subsidising the costs of their participation with funds put aside from donations and funding from City of York council. b) We have collaborated with RAY (Refugee Action York), designing with their customers a series of posters that were exhibited around York during Refugee Awareness Week. This project is ongoing. c) We were funded by ACE (Arts Council England) to run workshops with young people who use wheelchairs, raising awareness through organised happenings and performances, designing wheelchair covers, and designing items such as T-Shirts and stickers based on the freedom and dignity generated by full accessibility in a heritage city. d) We received funding from City of York Council Ward’s Acomb, Westfield, and Heworth Without to engage marginalised residents in creating ‘origami doves’ that were exhibited in Bar Convent’s Chapel, an exhibition which generated national interest with coverage in the Guardian, Independent, and more. e) We received funding from Nimbuscare via Two Ridings Community Foundation to run a series of intergenerational activities between the elderly and young people, using AI technology to revisit and rehabilitate old, damaged photos. f) We worked with Bar Convent Living Heritage Centre on two projects. i) ‘Peace on Earth’: a display of origami doves in the upstairs chapel, garnering international attention via the press, leading to a huge increase in footfall and raising awareness of the issues faced by the refugees we worked with. ii) ‘Colour!’: digital art outreach projects ran by young people for young people, with exhibitions curated in Bar Convent’s Exhibition space. The reimagining of York’s heritage hotspots using AI and cutting edge innovation was a great success in attracting young people to our sessions. g) Humber’s ‘Better Connect’ funded us through their ESF programme to work with 20 young people with learning differences, consolidating their CVs, enhancing experience, strengthening interview skills and providing paid work experience, and guiding them towards pathways in the creative industries. h) National Heritage: we worked with 20 young people, giving them carte blanche to reimagine York, rethinking traffic, access, tourism, environmental responsibility, and heritage, amongst other aspects. All artwork created was exhibited in city centre locations and helped young, marginalised people take up their ‘Cultural Capital.’ |

Section D Achievements and performance
| Summary of the main achievements of the charity during the year |
Curated 3 exhibitions in urban areas of York for three new artists, including Blueberry Academy students and All Saints students. Employed 5 young freelance assistants who have proved invaluable in their vision and energy. Now their involvements in projects is temporarily suspended, we will look to funding to incorporate their advocacy as permanent members of our decision making board and outreach projects. Work involved working with families in their homes, working with children in the summer holidays from families who receive Free School Meals, and visiting the elderly who have reported feelings of exclusion in local community centres. We engaged with 20 young people with learning differences in collaboration with Blueberry Academy. We provided pathways and consolidated CVs. As a result 8 participants went onto to Further Education and / or Supported Internships. We made 8 visits to York College to work with their ESOL (English as a Secondary Language) students, providing cultural contact, informal art sessions, opportunities to exhibit in city centre locations, and photography commissions, which led to displays at York’s nationally well regarded Big Ideas Tent Festival. We found for 6 young people who use wheelchairs opportunities to sell the crafts we co-created with them in summer and Christmas fairs, providing them with confidence, aspirational activities, money from sales, and enhanced experience. * Culminating artwork from 5 of our projects were exhibited in Bar Convent Living Heritage Centre’s chapel. The display made the national papers and was even picked up in Germany (we had associates contacting us from Munich saying, ‘isn’t this you?’). The exhibition, ‘Peace on Earth’, provided us and our participants with considerable pride in seeing the art we worked so hard to create treated so reverentially in such a world class location. |

Section E Financial review
Brief statement of the charity’s policy on reserves
The trustees have set a reserves policy which requires:
-
Reserves to be maintained at a level which ensures that New Visuality's core activity could continue during a period of unforeseen difficulty.
-
A proportion of reserves to be maintained in a readily realisable form.
The calculation of the required level of reserves is an integral part of the organisation's planning, budget and forecast cycle. It takes into account:
-
Risks associated with each stream of income and expenditure being different from that budgeted
-
• Planned activity level • Organisation's commitments
During the last financial year, a reserve of £1,500.00 has been built up which at current levels could support 8 weeks of operation costs were no additional funds realised. The Trustees aim to maintain at least a six months reserve as the organisation develops and grows.
