wider benefits to society As we lived through the lockdowns at
as a whole. the beginning of 2021 and then
gradually began to emerge from
isolation as the year went on, we felt
that the ability of the arts to bring
people together and to create joy was
more important than ever to our local
community.
Our series of online workshops meant
that even during lockdowns we were
able to offer people the opportunity to
be creative, learn new skills and
socialise online. The fact that the
workshops were fully booked very
quickly, along with the feedback that
we received from the workshop
participants, demonstrated that the
chance for people to access these
creative opportunities during a time
of isolation was important for people’s
health and wellbeing during a very
difficult time.
Many of our activities during the year
were focussed on children and their
families, as we felt that the pandemic
had been particularly hard for families
with young children. Children missed
out on a lot in terms of their
education and opportunities to
socialise and our events during the
summer months allowed families to
come together and be creative in a
safe outdoor space.
Our lantern parade was particularly

special and allowed the children taking part to have fun and make mess, with each child having created their own lantern by the end of the day. Working in schools is of particular benefit, as teaching time and budgets for art is being squeezed. The final performance was a great opportunity to come together and celebrate.
