Charity Commissions’ Annual Report
Completed by: Kevin Rosental. Date: 03.01.2024
SUMMARY OF One Vision and ACTIVITIES
One Vision Media CIO, a Charitable Incorporated Organisation, established in March 2015. Originally, One Vision began as a not-for-profit Organisation started by a free speech group of people with disabilities in October 1998. The original group would meet one day per week to discuss ways in which they could voice their opinions and concerns about the services that they would make contact with on a regular basis. Choosing film as the medium gave everyone the opportunity to have and learn new skills whilst creating powerful messages to share with a wider audience.
With money from Wigan Adult Services, the group were able to secure rent for a room in a building in Wigan before moving to Hope Enterprise Centre the following year.
What started with just a handful of students and two staff members One Vision has now developed into a thriving Organisation. One Vision is proud to welcome in over 80 members across the week. The number in attendance still vary a little, each week. We now have an amazing staff team of 32 and sometimes need to hire Bank Staff too. Each person is dedicated to delivering an excellent activity program and providing the best quality of care for everyone. We also have other attendees (Around 50 plus students and staff) that visit from various schools and colleges during each week.
From renting just one unit for one day per week, the project has grown and grown. With successful applications to Awards for All and the Big Lottery Fund, the project was able to employ staff, buy new camera equipment and rent additional units. A second successful bid the Big Lottery Fund obtained in 2008 giving One Vision an additional 5 years funding.
One Vision Studios is a non-profit group that provides training courses for people with learning disabilities in all aspects of media production. The group was established in October 1998 through a free speech group. One Vision Studios provides practical training courses for people with a learning disability.
It was during this time that we began to redevelop the activities program to cover more areas of learning and began to develop links with other groups and organisations.
You will be amazed at what goes on at One Vision Media. Look at the following information below.
Here at One Vision Studios, we provide an alternative community based training and activities program in film, media, performing Arts, life skills, preparing for adulthood and the working world, Health and Wellbeing and education; taking a person centered, needs led approach to learning and support that will enable individuals to make informed choices about themselves and their education.
The education and training program at One Vision has been updated; we still study through our social setting and through an educational pathway, allowing our members the opportunity to gain a wide range of skills across a varied timetable/ experiences.

We sought out work placements through our department ‘Vocational Vision’ for individuals whose dream is to gain employment in the future (voluntary or paid).
We also link up with Wigan Councils Community Unity Project and supported Employment.
We access our local community for various activities as well as venturing further afield for day trips and holidays.
We in our third year of our ‘Vocational Vision’ venture. This has been added to our offer to ensure that our members start their experiences at One Vision and / or Vocational Vision and travel on an individualised journey. These are our ‘Routes’ (see examples below)
Due to COVID – 19 things have had to change but thankfully, we are getting back to some normality now.
-
We have regular social link, sessions, activities, meetings and events linked with our community, local services, schools, colleges and organisations.
-
We deliver a varied hosting a range of healthy life style activities, educational, vocational training, independent living skills and promoting independence.
-
We have a music project that focuses on 1:1 tuition, band practice, choir, song writing and composing. We do this working with Karl Derbyshire from a company called The Music Project; this enables our members to have an introduction to music and enjoy various music genres, instruments etc. They will learn how to explore or play instruments, sing or compose a song/music.
-
We also link up with Idyllwild Recording Studio. We have recorded tracks here, thus giving our members the immersive experience of a real recording studio and gaining knowledge and understanding of all elements to create a track.
-
We used to link up with The Canal and River Trust, ‘The Desmond Family Canoe Trail’ and The Princes Trust Ground work Team. We were restoring the canal sides as well as learning all about the canal wild life, caring for the countryside and for our local environment, health and safety near water, keeping the canals clean, tidy, and safe etc. The Canal and River Trust lost the funding from The Desmond Family Canoe Trail so this link ceased. We enjoyed this work so much, we now continue to support this wonderful ethos. Now we provide construction workshop for our members, other schools and local groups that link with One Vision of the projects. We are growing our own plants in our poly tunnel. These plants help us to transform our grounds, make donations or have sales in our local community etc. We also focus on maintaining and developing outdoor areas on site. Whilst doing this we have linked with the The John Muir Award. Our members have loved learning about John Muir and the great outdoors as well as gaining new skills along the way. At the end of The John Muir Award/project participants are awarded with a certificate on completion.
-
We provide educational and vocational experiences for our members, local organisations, local colleges, and schools. These linked schools and Colleges are from the Wigan areas, West Lancashire and Preston areas. We are contacted by OFSTED inspectors who embrace our collaboration as we offer functional education, preparing for adulthood, skills for independence and much, much more.
-
We work with ASDA superstore in Wigan, on various activities so that we can learn independent living skills and highlight our community awareness. We also enter their competitions and join in with their fundraising challenges when possible. This promotes our members Citizenship skills and supports British values. We also support Charities: Macmillan, Alzheimer’s Society, Children in Need and Save the Children and others.
-
Our wonderful dance studio has now been converted into a theatre has been a great success for us and beneficial for local groups to hire; dance companies and a cheerleading group as they rent this space when needed. It is also rented out for local council and group meetings too.
-
During the past years, we rented rooms out to three other business’ at reasonable rates so they could get a good start to their business’. Unfortunately, these businesses have closed due to lock down. These rooms are now used for our New Venture ‘Vocational Vision’. We have now put plans in place to Plan and refurbish this section of the building during the next two years.
-
Three years ago, we obtained another building that is attached to One Vision, and all of its grounds. Due to the pandemic, we realised that we need larger spaces to function safely. We started a refurbishment project on this building. This refurbishment was made possible by kind a hearted company ‘The Cloth Workers’ as well as our own funds (This is reflected in last year’s accounts). The dining space contains a pool table, Coffee and drinks bar and a training Kitchen. These rooms are now completed. We have other rooms still to complete but it is all looking grand and is developing into an amazing learning environment as well as a social environment.
-
We have an outreach team still that perform shows to other services / charities when possible.
Due to the pandemic it has made us work hard to re design the layout and or the location of some workspaces. The reason for this is… If this pandemic or something alike should happen again, would we be ready and safe to stay open? Are we all able to social distance in this workspace? Can we easily clean and sanitise the workspace? Is this workspace still of interest to our members? Do we need a new workspace, because of what we have learned from the pandemic? This refurbishment has already started. We have split the building up into departments and are addressing each department in turn.
We would like to:
Plans - we would like to. (Some of these plans have been held back a little due to the pandemic. This has been due to getting reliable trades to carry out work at this unprecedented time.
Studios’ 5 We are still in the process of creating a new venture ‘Vocational Vision’ This is where we will be promoting employability skills with our members and with people from the Wigan area. There will be an employability-training centre in this area along with the following businesses; these will run as standalone businesses. These businesses will create real jobs for local people of the community. They will provide work experience placements for the members of One Vision, local schools as well as local job seekers etc. These work placements will promote employability skills, build confidence, give the person the feeling of self-worth etc. It will also give the local people a place to gravitate to for socialising, which will combat loneliness.
-
Café – This will be open throughout the week and possibly match days too when our local team, Wigan Athletic or the Wigan warriors, play their home games. If we were lucky, enough to link up with a food bank we would provide local families with free or low cost meals, especially during the school holidays. Now we have set up a Tuck Shop where this café will be so the members will develop skills to follow procedures, instruction etc.
-
Shop – This will sell products, produced by our members and local people that are setting up their own enterprises. Stock will also be purchased from local businesses/wholesalers. At the moment we do have seasonal sales on local pop up markets etc.

Successes for studio 5 - we have already achieved :

In temporary measure now, we have set up a Sensory Art Room to promote postural management. The refurb plan for this area will be decided in the coming year.
-
Character creating studios – are rooms that consist of costumes and props store as well as a fully operating hairdressers and beauty salon. We have this salon on a very small scale. Due to the interest and benefits that this salon brings and the Covid safety guidelines, we now need a larger salon. This salon is to be relocated to another room in this same studio area. The Salon will provide experiences of working in creating characters for our filming projects. We hope that this will operate on some days as a standalone business where our members can gain work placements or enjoy being a customer. It will also provide wellbeing days for people in our local community.
-
Launderette – To clean our costumes, uniforms etc. It will also provide a service for local teams and hairdressers to have their kits, gowns and towels cleaned by the launderette staff and our members. This is going really well and the members are extremely proud of themselves.

Cinema – Jeff Barton of Gf Holding recognised this dream. In collaboration with other businesses, they planned, built and donated this cinema. Sharing the cost of £130,000. We have had the official opening (on a quieter scale than we would of liked, due to the pandemic. When safe to do so this will be used for the community, local day care services, residential care homes, schools etc. to enjoy a social day. They will use it without having the added pressures that can occur when companies are low on staffing, people suffering from dementia and similar life
changing needs. It is also something that we need as a learning tool and a classroom for our students as well as it being a stepping-stone for some of our students who are learning how to cope with new environments. Our cinema is similar to our local cinema so that we can de sensitise our students so that they can eventually enjoy a trip to the local cinema with family and friends. Some local schools have used the cinema and the feedback is wonderful.
-
Needlework studio (Unique Sewing) – One Vision, community groups and other organisations, will book out this room when desired. We will be encouraging the community to be involved in sewing clubs, Knit and Natter groups etc. when the pandemic is over. The members of One Vision are enjoying this studio. They are making costumes for our plays etc. and stock for our seasonal sales. We also make quilts for The Linus Project UK.

Chairpersons’ Report
By Naiomi Hamilton:
I am always overwhelmed with how much progress the One Visions team continues to make throughout each year. Whatever barriers are put in their way, they continue to make improvements. They are always coming up with new ideas, setting themselves new goals, new hopes of new dreams. The management then lead their team so that they all collaborate their talents and skills and all go out of their way and achieve.
I am very proud to be chairperson at One Vision Media.
In July 2017, One Vision took over the Hope Enterprise buildings and since then various changes have occurred (e.g. The recent pandemic) which has meant that other businesses no longer rent spaces off One Vision. One Vision have moved into these workspaces bringing vocational opportunities to their members such as Their prestigious Hope Cinema, Printing work shop, Art studio, Unique sewing studio, Music room, Education room, an activity room and a laundrette and a salon. WOW! Isn’t that amazing?
I must take this opportunity to highlight that this progress is due to the strong leadership from Kevin Rosental, The Chief Executive Officer and Natalie Hamilton the Assistant Manager. They have an unbelievable passion to take One Vision Media on this incredible journey. They sort out their staff that are of a high standard for promoting caring qualities, education covering all areas of development that is always individualised to each member’s level of knowledge, understanding and developmental ability. They take care of their staff by guiding and training staff so that they can follow a career path and also ensure that their members receive the best care and ensure personal progress for all.
The Company Bursar, Jude Baker and the Quality Assurance Officers, Wendy Yates and Angela Hendry strive to develop the business. This is recognised by the local council in the form of recognition on ‘The Ethical Framework’. The Council have standards that you have meet in order to achieve this recognition. There are only 11 companies on this framework, who are in LOT 7 – Social Settings.
The amazing staff make the learning and care fun whilst promoting individualised targets and learning for all, with focus on each member’s personal progress in Health and Wellbeing, Life Skills, Independent living skills, education or vocational skills. All of these are important but I do like the fact that they focus on each person’s dreams and wishes too.
It gives me great pleasure to thank this outstanding team for all that they do to bring smiles and sunshine to everyone day. Their positivity, enthusiasm and hard work makes a different to the members and their families. The staff are constantly knocking down any barriers that stand in their way, ensuring all members make progress to reach their individual goals, wishes dreams and aspirations. They are diverse in their planning and in their delivery of their sessions. The same ethos is shared throughout the staff team, encouraging all staff to create their own career ladder. The staff encourage and support each other to develop their skills in various training opportunities so that they reach their own dreams and beyond.
I must still reflect on the way that One Vision handled the pandemic so that they could stay open and the fact that they continue to support all post pandemic. They have bought into a company that supports and provides counselling in many areas for their staff and their families so that we then can support our members and their families to the best of their abilities.
The staff have been inspirational, truly selfless. They continue to put the members before themselves, going out of their way to ensure normality for each day. Staff continue to work with a big smile their voices and spirits remain passionate and happy, they are truly inspirational.
The feedback that I hear from Families and visitors to One Vision - The comments I hear and what I read on facebook are always heart-warmingly positive. They constantly highlighting the overwhelming feeling of love, fun, laughter and positivity that radiates throughout this wonderful place. I am so proud to be the chairperson/ Trustee for One Vision.
I would like to thank the companies that support One Vision Media throughout the year. These companies help make One Vision an incredible place.
Milliken Flooring – in the past, for painting more of the corridor walls at One Vision and for donating extra carpet/tiles so that we could carpet additional rooms extra too. This year in November, they held a family Christmas event in which they have stated that some of the profits made from this event will be donated to One Vision. Milliken have chosen One Vision as their chosen charity.
We very grateful for the support from our educational links that use our service:

From the last report, the management and their team have developed spaces so that recreational time and wellbeing will be organised in promoting social skills for all as well as vocational skills for some, this is in Kenny G’s Diner and its surrounding grounds of our Studio 1 building.
The ongoing plans for the outside spaces are very exciting and I honestly cannot wait to see all the members’ faces working in all of these areas when the work is completed. I know that these ideas do take time to achieve but the drive the One Vision team has, I know that these dreams will come true.

Building Management – Kevin Rosental.
-
Please look at our Plans for the future under the heading ‘Plans - We would like to’. These are the plans that management will be project managing over the next year onwards.
-
As we are a service for people with severe disabilities, we are continuing to create new pathways and easy access ramps so that independence in traveling around the site is safer and achievable.
-
We have created a beautiful social and dining area last year but extended this to an outdoor dining space/outdoor learning space this year.
-
We have updated and created new risk assessments for all rooms and areas, created systems etc. to cover all healthy and safety aspects since the COVID – 19 Pandemic changes/updates. (This is still ongoing as we are continually being updated from ‘Public Health England’ of changes)
-
The grounds are continually being cleared, tended to and developed to create new outdoor spaces. We have linked up with Wigan & Leigh College Horticulture / Groundwork / Hard landscaping and Joinery courses to work on the
grounds. Together we can make our dream a reality. We have also started a project to add new walls and fencing to the Scot Lane side of our site so that the site and the people using our site are in a safer space.
- We are renting the house next door and a refurb project is now completed making the house accessible for all. This refurb work better for our members, promoting independent living skills etc.
Concerns
Our concerns for the future are mainly, as always, the upkeep of the building as it is an old building and needs repairs and refurbishments. The focus is to update the toilets so that they are accessible for all and our members can be as independent as possible. However, we and the help of the local college construction/plumbing department have helped to brighten them up but they still are in need of the refurbishment. Some of the ceilings are leaking in a couple of units, the doorframes and windows need addressing too.
The toilets will need specialist contractors as the floors in some areas hold asbestos.

Just wanted to let you know how much my daughter is enjoying herself at One Vision. She really loves coming. She had a fab time trampolining. It is great that she is taking part in so many activities. She is living the dream! Thanks – Cathy, parent.
Members at One Vision are the core element of the organisation; everyone is unique, with their own personality, character, fears and dreams. Many often have hidden assets and strengths that help them to cope with the challenges that life has set them - strengths that can easily be overlooked or unrecognised. Genuinely, trying to view the world through the eyes of the member, gives great insight into the behaviours, difficulties, emotions, anxieties and the daily struggles that they are faced with. Before we can fully understand the issues faced and feelings of another person, perhaps we must first see the world as he or she does – then we can really start to have an impact/make a difference’. This methodology, which identifies true understanding, creates real empathy
and nurtures creative and innovative ways of working, which generates positive, reliable outcomes that have an impact on lives by focusing on what they can do and upskilling people to develop independence, confidence to have hope for the future and a pathway of choice and for all areas of their lives. ‘Quote from a Social Worker’

I feel very fortunate to be able to work in partnership with One Vision from a social care perspective. The staff team work tirelessly to ensure that their attendees have the best experience possible, are made to feel valuable and included members within their local communities, have ample opportunities made readily available to them and most importantly always have smiles on their faces. The staff here are the most committed and passionate group of people I have had the good fortunate to work alongside in many years
and it is evident that they have the best interests of their attendee’s at the forefront of their minds at all times.

Group Comments
Hope school and college: This is a great place to be a part of. The students gain a range of experiences through their timetabled sessions every week. They are part of an annual show that builds confidence in both students and staff self-esteem. It is so good I would like to work here.
Oak Field School and college: We use One Vision for taster days and school/college links. We appreciate that One Vision always supports our students to develop their work experiences through regular work placements.
Hawks cheer leading team: The dance studio is ideal for us. It is a good dance space with a great floor. The site has good car parking space too. The staff are friendly and nothing is ever a problem.
Desmond Family Canoe Trail / Canal and River Trust: This is a fantastic place with great facilities. We do not have these facilities in the Hub ‘our venue’. One Vision have kindly agreed to get involved in our projects and we have started to use this venue for our construction projects. This is where we bring other schools, clubs or colleges to One Vision to produce the items that we need to support The Canal Trusts projects.
James Rosental & Co Dance Company: This is just perfect for what we need so that we can rehearse for my company’s projects. We have recently choreographed a project at One Vision and used it as a base for a whole week. In this week we produced a Wigan funded project called ‘Wigan Born and Bread’.
‘Social care officer’
One Vision have always been renowned locally for their innovative thinking and the creative approach they take to supporting their attendee’s. Due to recent circumstances, accessing services has obviously been increasingly difficult for individuals with learning disabilities, physical disabilities, and associated health needs due to Covid- 19 but this has not deterred One Vision. They have remained dedicated throughout to providing a service to their attendee’s and families to ensure everyone has support in place where it is required.
I have had the pleasure of supporting many individuals to attend One Vision over the years and have only ever seen positive results. Individuals thrive at One Vision, they become more independent and we tend to see an increase in their confidence because of the work they undertake. Attendees are given unbelievable opportunities such as viewing their own short films on the local cinema screen with loved ones and professionals viewing together alongside ongoing work to develop independent skills, make and develop friendships and relationships and to have increased community access.
I know that One Vision is appreciated, loved, and respected by all those who attend, but also by the families, carers and professionals who support all the attendees. The ongoing support is so greatly appreciated by all of the above and as a whole we can’t wait to see this fantastic provision go from strength to strength, expanding their offer wherever possible to meet the needs of individuals in borough that would benefit from their input and support.

Supporting Health and wellbeing going the extra mile:
“I have a young gentleman and at the present time they are picking him up 3 days a week due to the situation with COVID and he is doing well. Mum said that if he didn’t have this he would just be sitting in his room. This way albeit not everyone is attending he is seeing some of his friends because up until last week he wasn’t even seeing his PA on a Saturday.”
– Social Care Officer.
“I have a client with a Severe Learning Disability and challenging behaviours who has been accessing One Vision for a considerable length of time. After my client having numerous agencies supporting him, One Vision is the only service that has been sustainable to meeting his challenging care and support needs that has proved to be very positive with regards to his independence, health and wellbeing. My client really looks forward to attending and he has built really good relationships with the staff.
His mother has nothing but praise for the staff and Manager(s) at One Vision and my experiences has a Social Worker would agree with her comments. I have always found the Manager(s) and staff very helpful, experienced and compassionate about what the service offers and strives to make a positive difference to lives of vulnerable people,
Carers and families.” – Social Worker
I hope that this provides some insight into the ongoing work that One Vision are doing within their local community and highlights how highly thought of they are by all that meet them. They truly are a fantastic asset to Wigan and the passion, empathy, and drive that the staff have to support vulnerable individuals within our local area is irreplaceable.
