REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES for the Year Ended 30 November 2020
The trustees who are also directors of the charity for the purposes of the Companies Act 2006, present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 30 November 2020. The trustees have adopted the provisions of Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019).
-
Welcome to our annual report for 2019/20. We are a charity that works for the benefit of: 1) advancing public education in, and appreciation of the arts in particular, but not exclusively the arts of literature and theatre; and 2) the advancement of health by the provision of arts and literature activities that support, nurture and improve health and well being, particularly for individuals from marginalised and isolated groups and those who struggle to communicate.
-
We exist to provide improved wellbeing, through the use of the arts, when working with people affected by dementias, isolation and/or ill mental health - and to take their words out to the public in artistic formats, to challenge societal attitudes towards the stigma of their condition. We champion the voices of those seldom heard. We are very grateful to all of our partnerships, funders and supporters. Despite the need to pivot our plans and delivery in response to the Covid-19 pandemic, outlined below, we are still here. Our funders for this year were: Kent Community Foundation, Martello Fund; Arts Council England; Kent County Council; Festivals Fund RDHCT; Medway Council; KMPT; NHS; Hythe Dementia Awareness Forum; Folkestone Mayor's Fund; Folkestone and Hythe District Council; and the BBC. We also ran specific fundraisers and received monies from individual donations, including Putney Dementia Awareness Group's fundraiser ball; Thomas Ernst; and trustee Reinhard Guss' garden parties. Many thanks to all who have been so kind, enabling us to stay afloat and move towards thriving. Despite the pandemic, 2019-2020 was our highest income to date. We look forward to building on this.
-
As 2019 became 2020, we had a very clear strategy, building upon the profile raising of the previous year, our intention was to 1) Continue working in our 'Listen Out Loud' methodology, working with people with late stage dementias, mid stage dementias, carers, and those with ongoing mental health battles; and 2) Up the quality and inclusion of our artistic responses to our participatory work; 3) Grow our board of Trustees; 4) Continue to work locally, share our work nationally and impact internationally. We were to do this through: a) Having our Living Warrior films shown in cinemas across the region, then the UK; b) Run 2 care home residencies locally; c) Deliver Normal? Festival of the Brain across 4 days in May; d) Develop our work with Nepalese elders; e) Develop, rehearse and tour a new theatre show about carers, relatives and those dying who are living with a dementia; f) Continue to research and develop an online course offer for pilot delivery 2022/3.
Dec 2019 - March 2020 saw us complete our pilot project with the local Nepalese elders, with a community sharing in Cheriton library; perform locally as part of the Folkestone Living Advent Calendar, sharing the words and songs of people from the area with late stage dementias; run a new project in Hythe continuing our work with Hythe Town Council/Dementia Aware Hythe, working in the homes of people with late stage dementia and their partners who have become their carers, this involved a big sharing event for the community; co-create Living Warriors films - participant led films, made with high production values, for the cinema. These were to go in cinemas as calls of hope to those who may be feeling depressed or suicidal, and was funded and supported by NHS/KMPT/KCC/Medway Council Innovation Fund.
When Covid hit in 2020 we had just had the friends and family screening of our Living Warrior films at Folkestone's Silver Screen cinema, and our founder Susanna Howard had been named Folkestone and Hythe 'Woman of the Year'. All of our live delivery was abruptly halted, and pivoted to online in support of our ongoing work. The majority of our anticipated funds were cancelled, as was all planned live activity. We were initially contacted and given support from Martello Fund through Kent Community Foundation, and Folkestone Mayor's Fund. Other previous funders supported our survival, including Arts Council England: Emergency Fund. As a charity, rather than a business, we were not given the grants of support available to businesses, but were supported by FHDC with a one off £5000 discretionary support mid-way through 2020. We met all of our financial obligations for 2020.

LIVING WORDS ARTS
REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES for the Year Ended 30 November 2020
As news of the tragedy in care homes unfolded, we responded by communicating and supporting carers, and launching a consultancy period to work out how our skills could be used to benefit and support our communities. Through this we worked out how to support our artists and team to deliver a new way of working. The size of our organisation, and the
precariat status of our team, has always meant that we are able to be responsive and this was proved all the more resilient during the pandemic. Because our overheads are relatively low, and all of our team are still paid as self-employed, rather than employees, we were able to respond to Covid in the knowledge that we would be able to weather the storm, however hard it was. We knew that we had lost our expected income and projects, but were used to turning things around and living month to month. This mentality enabled us to flourish during the next 9 months, delivering quality projects, whilst bigger arts organisations shut their doors, furloughed staff, and counted their pennies - arguably, leaving the people that they usually support and work with out in the cold. Our resilience is the combination of our determination and the deep roots of our 'Listen Out Loud' methodology. The year was not without its struggles, particularly for our founder, who experienced the loss and serious ill health of friends, family and associates, and who despite all this led our team and our co-curated partnerships tremendously, with fantastic support and stepping up from our team.
Key highlights and overview of 2019-2020 year, were:
-
Re thinking with our partners Creative Folkestone and Folkestone Fringe, to deliver the Normal? Festival of the Brain across 6 months, rather than one weekend. We held outdoor Think In events for our community of co-creators of the festival to explore what this would look like, looking ahead to the likely Autumn/Winter lockdown, we felt our responsibility to run events for people to engage in from home, to connect and safeguard wellbeing through artistic activity and self expression. We decided to run the festival from October - March, and to honour the commitments we had made to artists previously committed to the 4 day festival. We had funding secured from ACE & RDHCT Festivals Fund that we would not lose, and could build from there. Normal? Festival of the Brain launched with an outdoor event, live on social media from the park behind our office and featuring approx. 5 events per month, focussing on the themes of Touch, Power, and Knowing v Growing.
-
Our trustee 'In The Garden' fundraiser went online and was deftly organised, enabling attendees from across the country. While good for us, this impacted more widely, directly influencing Good Chance Theatre's fundraisers for the Global 'Little Amal' project.
-
Artist workshops online and in park, to keep our team connected and look to build how we could and would respond to the pandemic. This included consulting with carers and care homes
-
Our Living Warrior films could not be shown in cinemas, but we created a website, got them on the local news and edited 3 of the films into one, which is featured on BBC Ideas website. This work was featured on BBC 10 o'clock News on World Suicide Prevention Day in September.
-
Designing and running Action Learning 'Listen Out Loud' courses for carers
-
Our big project 'Bringing The Inside Out' was run with 19 care homes across the UK, and over 70 individuals, resulting in the book 'Bringing the Inside Out' featuring the words of carers, people with a dementia, and their relatives about their experience of the Covid-19 pandemic. The book was endorsed by Dementia Research Centre, National Care Forum, and celebrities including Alison Steadman, and a foreword by Brian Cox OBE. The book received positive publicity, reviews and write ups in Alzheimer's Magazine, Times Radio and local radio.
-
We developed connection and partnership with East Side Institute, New York - Reimaging Dementia: A Coalition for Justice; One of our trainees in Taiwan shared her work in care homes in Taiwan, going from strength to strength; the Hungarian literary journal translated and wrote about our work; we continued to be featured internationally online and in journals and magazines.
As we look ahead, we wonder what the impact of Covid-19 will be long-term on how we adapt our delivery. Our agility and ability to pivot saw us positively impacting lives in the face of the fear of the pandemic. Like many, our founder, and team were impacted by Covid-19. In Susanna Howard's family there was loss and serious illness, this meant the team picked up and led on project and delivery elements and showed us that we are moving towards sustainability. In 2020-21/2 we want to up this and want to up our funding to enable us to bring in a General Manager. We need support with this, to get out of the delivery/funding loop and have more ongoing funds. We know the quality, reach and depth of our work deserves it.

OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES
Objectives and aims

We exist to provide improved wellbeing, through the use of the arts, when working with people affected by dementias, isolation and/or ill mental health - and to take their words out to the public in artistic formats, to challenge societal attitudes towards the stigma of their condition. Our self-employed staff are writers, actors, theatre makers, illustrators, animators and singers. We rely on project funding to carry out this work.
We would like you to support us in our crucial work, so please read on and let us tell you more about ourselves, what we do, what we have achieved and how we go about spending the money given to us.
What we aim to do: our objectives and activities
Our mission
As drawn up in our Story of Change, our mission is to improve society's recognition of the value of people affected by to the dementias, mental ill health and isolation, through improving all peoples' understanding, awareness and communication skills. We do this through: 1 ) advancing public education in, and appreciation of the arts in particular, but not exclusively the arts of literature and theatre; and 2) the advancement of health by the provision of arts and literature activities that support, nurture and improve health and well being, particularly for individuals from marginalised and isolated groups and those who struggle to communicate.

ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE Charitable activities A bit more about our work
- Participatory 1 to 1s, staff workshops & care home sharing events
These are usually in the form of 3 month long care home residency programmes. Though also include community Living Words workshops and one to one writing sessions. Plus in 2019, we began developing our residency model and taking it into new settings. This enabled our Living Warriors - mental health projects, and working more within the community with people with dementias living at home. At the heart of our work and practice is our 'Listen out Loud' method. Get in touch to find out more.
- Artistic outcomes - incl. books, films, songs, readings
Participants words' - with full ethical consents and continued communication with the person, the advocate/power of attorney, the relatives, and the care home (as appropriate) - are taken out to the public through high quality art form. This is to enable the voice of people in late stage dementias to be heard, and then stigma around possibilities re: communication and value be impacted, and over time, we aim, reduced. Participants and families are involved in this process as much or little as they indicate, extending to collaboration.
- Talks/presentations/sharings - theatres, conferences, literary festivals, & on radio
We further share our work on invitation at arts, science and literary events.
- Festival - incl. pre fest outreach
We share our practice and the words of people with dementias, those with mental ill health and those who are isolated at Normal? Festival of the Brain. We programme unheard voices, stories and neurological diversity. We aim to promote difference and positive communication practices in our community. We also bring people to the arts who have had little or no interaction with art forms since school.
-Other artistic work
It may be that other artistic art forms or projects arise from our participatory work and experience. Where possible, we encourage creation of these works, if the sharing of the works connects to our aims.
FINANCIAL REVIEW Financial position How we funded our work
Our work is funded project to project, with additional donations from individuals, fundraisers and charitable bodies. The work carried out is tremendous and we are aware we do so much on not a huge amount. As we move into a more sustainable framework, we are looking for funds and to appoint a General Manager as of 2022.
Reserves policy
Our reserves are minimal, this is something we would like more support with - to feed into our longer term sustainability. We are focussed on delivery, and funded project to project, and are committed to continue to build our reserves.

FUTURE PLANS
We aim to increase our levels of core and unrestricted funds, to be able to implement our plan to enable the charity to be truly sustainable. We are open to help on this and would also like help in being connected to philanthropists and potential legacy funds. Whilst donations to the large charities are the rule for a lot of wills, we would like to become the exception. Money given to us goes directly to impact people as our overheads are so much lower than larger charities. In the UK there are over 850,000 people living with a dementia. 38% of people in the UK have a family member or close friend living with a dementia. The main dementia organisations are focussing on finding a cure, and funding is mainly focussing on this, with no guarantee of a positive outcome. There are people living with dementia NOW who need our projects. By 2050 it is predicted that every person will be affected by dementias, either directly or through caring for another.
If you would like to donate, or connect to us to support our fundraising. Either contact us directly at the above contact, or your can donate directly via our website at : https://livingwords.enthuse.com/profile We do hope you might consider supporting us, every pound counts. Thank you.
