Objectives and activities
Summary of the purposes of the charity set out in its governing document
-
i) Advancement of arts, culture and heritage to benefit public through accessible exhibitions, installations and outreach work within disadvantaged communities
-
ii) Promote, maintain, improve, advance the education of the public in the arts in particular contemporary design and mixed media culture
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
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 participationwith funds put aside from donations and funding from City of Yorkcouncil.
-
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 provided opportunities across York for activities, where elderly residents chatted with each other and learned digital skills and got creative. Primarily, we used the old black and white photos as a building block to get things started, though this soon evolved into digital art sessions, traditional art, and Zoom chats. Along the way, the participants themselves took over chronicling the anecdotes and memories of each other and created artwork, which became animation for our digital projections, based on 200 memories.
The trustees consider that they have complied with their duties to have due regard to the public benefit guidance published by the Charity Commission.
Achievements and performance
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.
Curated 3 exhibitions in urban areas of York for three new artists, including Blueberry Academy students and students excluded from mainstream education.
-
We worked with 25 young people from urban areas in York such as Strensall.
-
Employed 2 young freelance assistants and advocates. 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 10 young people with learning differences in collaboration with Blueberry Academy. We provided
-
∙ pathways and consolidated CVs. As a result 4 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 Bar Convent Living Heritage Centre.
1
We found for 6 young people who use wheelchairs opportunities to sell the crafts we co-created with them in summer and
-
Christmas fairs in Acomb and Westfield in York, providing them with confidence, aspirational activities, money from sales, and enhanced experience.
-
Culminating artwork from our projects were exhibited in Bar Convent Living Heritage Centre’s exhibition space. The
-
exhibition, ‘Gifts of Christmas', provided us and our participants with considerable pride in seeing the art we worked so hard to create treated so well in such a world class location. We were featured in Yorkshire Post and in numerous blogs.
Financial review
Review of the charity’s financial position at the end of the period
t
Statement explaining the policy for holding reserves stating why they are held 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.
Amount of reserves held
£320
