Objectives and activities

The charity's objects

(1) For the benefit of the public, to advance the education and health of people with learning disabilities including but not limited to people on the autistic spectrum and other people who experience similar barriers to learning, development and inclusion ('the beneficiaries'), via the performing arts and other art forms and to increase opportunities for such persons to participate in the arts.

(2) The promotion of social inclusion amongst the beneficiaries who are socially excluded from society, or parts of society, as a result of their disability through the use of the performing arts and other art forms in order to advance equality, diversity and inclusivity within society.

(3) To develop the capacity and skills of people with learning disabilities (a socially disadvantaged community of interest) in such a way that they are better able to identify, and help meet, their needs and to participate more fully in society.

The charity's main activities

To deliver arts activities to adults with learning disabilities.

Public benefit statement

In setting our objectives and planning our activities our Trustees have given serious consideration to the Charity Commission’s general guidance on public benefit and in particular the advancement of health, the arts and culture.

Our trustees work closely with the core team, who act as a conduit for our steering group made up of learning disabled members who benefit from our core activities. The steering group inform and guide the charity on the needs and aspirations of their peers and therefore fully influence the planning of activities on a day to day and strategic level for the benefit of the local learning disability community.

Achievements and performance

The year 2024-2025 continued to keep the creative focus on CoActive’s 20th anniversary year with a theme of Pride and Protest; a powerful theme emphasising visibility, identity, and artistic presence within the wider Wakefield creative community. Through performances, exhibitions, and collaborations, members explored what it means to be seen, heard, and valued as artists, using their work to express their individuality and collective strength.

This year-long focus in 2024 carried forward into spring 2025 culminating in an anniversary party in March 2025 bringing together over 150 people, members past and present, artists, family members and carers in a joyful afternoon and evening of celebration of our community.

Despite the huge energies gone into the anniversary year and celebrations, the commitment to developing creative skills, processes and outcomes continued in full force into the rest of 2025.

Below is more detail on how our activities in the year September 2024 to August 2025 achieved the guiding objectives of our organisation:

Objective 1: For the benefit of the public, to advance the education and health of people with learning disabilities , including but not limited to people on the autistic spectrum and other people who experience similar barriers to learning, development, and inclusion (the beneficiaries), via the performing arts and other art forms , and to increase opportunities for such persons to participate in the arts .

Summer showcase double bill Seasons of the Soul/Heartlands :

In June 2025 20 CoActive members performed to an audience of 80 at the theatre at Queen Elizabeth Grammar School.

Achievements and performance (continued)

‘Seasons Of The Soul’ was a drama piece. This piece used excerpts of literature, and followed a journey through the seasons. Past projects have developed creative writing with the group and they have performed their own words. We wanted to stretch the group to interpret others words and develop skills in performing them. The group members found it challenging, but we saw them rise to that challenge and grow as performers. Their confidence grew and they were proud of their achievements. They created a beautiful piece of theatre which both faithfully interpreted the text and expressed themes they wanted to explore, incorporating dance, drama, live music and song.

‘Heartland’ was an ambitious piece including a lot of elements. Group members responded incredibly well to the starting point of talking about their emotions as a landscape. This was helped by spending time with the surrealist exhibition at the Hepworth Gallery. This meant the group had already understood this way of expressing emotions and thoughts. Every member of the group was able to express themselves in this way, talking in detail about complex emotions through the metaphor of landscapes. Group members expressed this opportunity as therapeutic and calming.

The creation of these landscapes through movement and art was both challenging and rewarding. We had been concerned that expressed sensitive or difficult emotions, but without exception members wanted to share them. For a couple of people a better way of doing this was to have another member of the group take the role of them and they directed from the outside. These members found this to be very powerful and cathartic.

Audience members responses to the performances:

'Beautiful’

“The performance revealed so much of the groups experience of living with complicated emotions" “Such an achievement”

Case study:

J. speaks very little and mostly expresses herself through typing in text messages. In our last project she took the massive step of reading out some of her own writing on stage, some of her support staff had never heard her voice. In this project we challenged her further by encouraging her to learn excerpts of scripts that others had written and perform them. This was something she wanted to do though she was nervous. Throughout the project her voice got stronger and she was able to perform in front of an audience. In evaluation, speaking in front of people had been the most important aspect for her.

Objective 2: The promotion of social inclusion amongst the beneficiaries who are socially excluded from society, or parts of society, as a result of their disability, through the use of the performing arts and other art forms in order to advance equality, diversity, and inclusivity within society .

Chimera willow lantern:

Following on from the personal portraits undertaken in the summer of 2024, in the autumn, marking the beginning of the next CoActive year we shifted the focus to a collective self portrait and reaching wider audiences. CoActive members and artists came together to design and create the CoActive Chimera willow lantern - an enormous and brilliant construction representing the collective spirit of the group. This piece was proudly introduced to the public in November at the Hepworth Wakefield as part of the Wakefield Light Up Festival, where it illuminated the space and captured the imagination of audiences. The project was a celebration of creativity, collaboration, and identity, showcasing the artistic talents of CoActive members.

Achievements and performance (continued)

The CoActive Chimera then made its way to the Apple Tree Community Garden’s inaugural lantern festival in December, where it became a centrepiece of another magical evening, before its third appearance at Wakefield Cathedral as part of January's Art Walk. Across the three events audience numbers exceeded 280, including arts audiences and families and community audiences at the garden.

Public feedback on this work

Chimera at Hepworth: “Wow! Well done each and every one of you!! Looks amazing!!”

Chimera at Apple Tree: “Absolutely amazing to watch, so much effort was put in by every single member to ensure that the whole project went smoothly - and it did. So beautiful to watch and listen to. The lanterns throughout the garden looked wonderful. Great night. Thank you”

Fieldhead exhibition:

In May a group exhibition opened on the corridors at Fieldhead hospital, including 20 works from CoActive artists - the largest representation amongst a variety of artists. The works were drawn from many produced over a number of years and were chosen and curated by theme by the Friday studio group.

Guest Artists:

In addition to having our work seen in a variety of settings we made a commitment this year to engaging directly with guest artists who identify as either neurodivergent or disabled, to support the wider disability arts community and to inspire and encourage our members by introducing them to disabled artists who earn a living through their art. Guest artists included:

James Owen Thomas https://www.jamesowenthomas.com/about/

Joanne Tiffany https://www.joannetiffany.com/about

Sam Metz https://sammetz.com/about

Jason Wilsher-Mills https://www.jwmartist.co.uk/about

CoActive members saw work by the artists, worked alongside them to create their own work, often trying new mediums, and in some cases exhibited the work produced alongside the artist in public exhibitions in Wakefield and Leeds.

Objective 3: To develop the capacity and skills of people with learning disabilities (a socially disadvantaged community of interest) in such a way that they are better able to identify and help meet their needs, and to participate more fully in society .

Creative Enterprise:

In September 2024, CoActive members launched an exciting new enterprise project, experimenting with turning their artistic talents into income. This initiative was driven by members’ interests in selling their artwork and sharing their creative skills with the wider community, including leading dance sessions and teaching and sharing skills.

The skills developed by members in designing and making the Chimera and smaller lanterns were shared by teaching willow lantern-making to community groups in Agbrigg, in preparation for the AppleTree lantern festival, fostering creativity and connection with the area’s diverse community.

Members produced mugs, keyrings, stickers, postcard prints, books and magazines sold or gifted at the 20th anniversary event and beyond, raising funds for CoActive and raising aspirations of earning income from members skills.

Achievements and performance (continued)

Steering Group:

Since the very beginning, when a self advocacy group designed the very first CoActive project, the Steering Group of Learning Disabled members has been a central part of CoActive. It has taken various shapes over the years and currently comprises a group of 6 who applied to volunteer for the group and attend weekly meetings. They are a particularly motivated and administratively skilled group who have taken real ownership of the process of a formal meeting, chaired and minuted with accountable actions, and they are going from strength to strength. This year they have:

Planned the annual trip to Scarborough, including emailing for coach prices, gauging interest with CoActive members, researching evening meal options.

Refining feedback and a list of rules put forward by the group into a Code Of Conduct for group members. Presenting information about the code of conduct to group sessions and getting feedback.

Exploring an idea to help group members express themselves if not feeling OK and if feeling overwhelmed. This was by wearing a lanyard based on the ‘traffic light system.’ Finding out that it only worked for some people in some situations.

Bringing concerns about fire safety. Working on an evacuation procedure and instigating fire drills.

Taking over chairing the AGM. A job usually done by the chair of trustees. Preparing cardboard open/closed loops for each agenda item as a visual/physical aid to keep people engaged and help everyone follow what is going on. Planning who was doing what, and liaising with trustees.

Revisiting list of requirements / wishes for a new home for CoActive.

Forming ideas about summer activities and sharing with the wider group.

Looking at an opportunity to be involved in delivering Oliver McGowan training as a paid role. Asking questions of the organisers. Hearing worries about how it may affect receiving benefits. Writing to their MP about the issue.

Group members carrying out jobs in their own time such as research, creating a spreadsheet, buying stationery supplies, writing emails.

Steering Group members comments about their experiences:

Dale: I feel like a member of staff. I feel more adult. You know what a meeting is and how it runs. You can go to another meeting and know the structure.

Georgina: It’s a great opportunity to organise things. We have improved our organisation skills. I feel on the same level. It has improved my independence.

Dan: I feel like I organise staff more than Jody (staff facilitator) does. We all try and share the work out between us as best we can.

Rach: I feel like half staff and half member, which feels like a good thing.

Jody (staff facilitator): One of the biggest joys - I planned to come in late due to a dentist appointment, but the group planned to set up and get started ahead of me. I arrived even later than I expected, and when I did my colleague stopped me at the door and made me hang back and listen. They had set a chair, minute taker and were doing just fine.

Premises:

We have continued to call The Make Space at 2 Almshouse Lane home. Discussions regarding the longer term future of the space are ongoing as are plans to make alterations to make it more fit for purpose. This will be a primary focus for the coming year.

As ever, tribute must be paid to the hard work of the members and the people who support and guide them.

Statement of trustees' responsibilities

The trustees (who are also the directors for the purposes of company law) are responsible for preparing the Trustees report and the financial statements in accordance with the applicable law and UK Accounting Standards.

Company law requires the trustees to prepare financial accounts for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charitable company and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including the income and expenditure, of the charitable company for the year. In preparing these financial statements, the trustees are required to:

select suitable accounting policies and apply them consistently;

observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP;

make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;

state whether applicable UK accounting standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements;

prepare the accounts on a going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charitable company will continue in operation.

The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charitable company and to enable them to ensure that the financial accounts comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

This report has been prepared in accordance with the Statement of Recommended Practice: Accounting and Reporting by Charities (Charities SORP (FRS102)), and in accordance with the special provisions of the Companies Act 2006 relating to small companies.

Approved by the board of trustees on 13/5/2026
