Our values also reflect the way we want lo work. We are passionate, ambitious. collaborative and inclLtsive. These values and their impact were clearly demonstrated in practice, throughout the programme of work achieved during 23124. Highlights of the year included performances of 'Traces Through Time,, a deeply moving exploration of the complex journeys of recovery, to life altering Iransformalion through dance, music and spoken word. The performances were created in collaboration with the world's first recovery orchestra, New Note Orchestra, based in Brighton. Funded by Arts Council England, Garfield Weston and the Foyle Foundation, the production premiered at Sloryhouse Chester and the Linbury Theatre at the Royal Opera House, London. This production brought together over 40 recovery performers, raised artistic ambitions and helped to change the conversation about addiction and recovery life experiences. Another highlight was the Spreading Wings celebratory event which saw the culmination of three years of new community programme including outreach work, training and mentoring activity lo those in recovery. The three-year funding award from the National Lottery Reaching Communities Fund, which supported this project. provided FADT with the largest community grant lo dale and allowed the company, for the first lime, lo appoint an engagement worker lo work alongside the Artistic Director. This project helped FADT lo realise their ambition of reaching and working with a vulnerable community in depth. New partnerships were made during this year, one with the criminal justice sector, via Interventions Alliance Warringlon & Liverpool, which aims lo collaborate with organisalions to support the most vulnerable to build a belter future. A new dance recovery partnership was built with Theatre Porto, a cultural hub in Ellesmere Port which has allracled many new participants and connections. In addition, weekly dancel movement sessions were held in Chester, Liverpool, Wigan and Salford. Continuing professional dance development sessions were undertaken with professional dancers and recovery specialists and number of webinars, talks and performances were delivered al Recovery Conferences and other venues across the country. In total during 23124, FADT attracted 166 unique individuals in recovery to take part, 266 dancelmovement sessions were delivered, 28 commissioned workshops were undertaken lo enhance our earned income and remarkably five new professional performances were shown across the country, allraclin9 large audiences, opening up discussion and helping to dismantle the stigma of addiction. Corporately, the board of trustees worked on the development of a Risk Register, based on the Charity Commission's framework, focusing on artistic, financial, process and participant systems. We continued work on the Equality, Diversity and Inclusion policy and enacted these policy outcomes via changes lo the website, Board management and artistic productions.
