Appendix 1 DIARY OF THE YEAR.

1. Introduction

This annual report tells the reader about the achievements of Shallal, it’s participants and facilitators in the last year and how the money has been spent.

If you are new to Shallal you may be interested in the information at the end of the document which tells you about what Shallal exists to do.

The main Annual Report contains reports and celebrations from our Chair, our Creative Director and from our facilitators.

2. Chair’s Report from Henrietta Boex.

It has been an extraordinary year and all of us have had to make our way through the complex and risky world brought about by Covid 19. The amazing efforts by all our facilitators to switch suddenly from inperson sessions to Zoom and other alternative means of delivery has been a great success. Participation numbers have risen in many cases, whilst everyone will be glad to meet in person again, the ability to stay connected throughout is a credit to all involved.

I have previously referred to the importance of having sustained funding in place that allows increased outreach experimentation and innovation and so we are hugely grateful to our funders, to the Henry Smith Charity, Arts Council England and Reaching Communities whose significant grants have made this possible in the last year. The Trustees continued stated aim for Shallal is to gain recognition by Arts Council England as a National Portfolio Organisation, we shall be submitting a bid in the early 2022 cycle, our aim to gain core funding for all its diverse activities across Cornwall and providing a sustainable future for both facilitators and participants alike.

Throughout the year, the various groups that meet under the Shallal umbrella have flourished. Embodied Spaces at Newlyn and Connect & Create were great successes; Shallal Sketchbooks grew and thrived; the new studio at Krowji was busy, when Covid rules allowed and created the Picture Post project. Shallal has also actively engaged with Doughnut Economics and Culture Declares Emergency. Colin’s 60th Birthday attracted a brilliant turnout and was the last fabulous act we enjoyed before lockdown.

As ever the Trustees thanks must go to those who daily make it all work. We thank Jo Willis for her creative direction and hard work, all the facilitators and volunteers and in particular Colin Curbishley, Sapphire Sumpter, Debbie O’Nyons, Demelza Rouncefield, Lois Taylor, Jo Lumber, Phoebe Barnicoat, Barry Cooper, George Bradley Peer, Star, Kerry Tomlins, Laura Menzies, Claire Mayle and Janice Schneider, for their dedication, enthusiasm and imagination. We would also like to thank Lou Brett and

3

Barbara Santi for their terrific bid writing among other things. We bid farewell to Matt Leach and

welcomed Jerry Drew as our new business manager. Thank you also to my fellow Trustees for your

support and guidance.

As I have said every year - WELL DONE to one and all.

Henrietta Boex

Chair of Shallal Trustees

3. Shallal Report from Jo Willis.

In August the wonderful exhibition at Falmouth Art Gallery Community Space of Portraits, was there throughout the summer holidays.

"Fabulous quirky and powerful intriguing portraits" feedback. Then the dream realised and the Studio at Krowji opened.

We welcomed Phoebe who joins Shallal to work developing the studios with Lou and others.

We met Sapphire Sumpter at Theo Clinkards talk at CAST. Sapphire has met Wolfgang and Amici and joined in from London when we are in lockdown and in less than a years' time CAST go on to support us in Regenerative Visions for the Arts In Cornwall zoom.

The national Fun Palace weekend sees:

October, Claire Mayle started volunteering with Shallal Sketchbooks and took over when Kerry passed it on, many thanks to Kerry, for sustaining it.

November, Outreach dance performance & Shallal Sketchbooks at New Service Launch Day Portreath, as we started working with Nikki Kelly and developing Social Prescribing particularly through Sketchbooks by phone, post and later on on zooms.

Embodied Space at Newlyn Art Gallery, Shallal Dance Theatre with Peter Freeman

"The collaboration and this performance are a meeting of light, space, dance and music. We have made several attempts over the past weeks; this is the most recent. Each time throws up new complexities and revelations. It's provisional and unfinished but that's the place it wants to be, in a zone of experiment, mistake and sudden luminous beauty." Peter Freeman

"So beautiful - seen quite a few Shallal performances, but this was my favourite. The music, the light, the movement - such an otherworldly environment to enter such a tonic such beauty. Thankyou, Kay.

PS loved the artwork too!" "Inspirational and life-affirming"

George's approach was the inspiration for the whole project and pushed forwards our approach to performance improvisation. Demelza emphasised in our feedback session that to create work from improvisation is not unusual, to continue that process and exploration into performance is! and to not know who will be there or what music will be played or the space, pushes it even further .... Film from ES "and as always Barbara you have captured the essence on film" Tina Cockett https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RqDqf2s7kk8&t=4s

Our last big gathering was Colin's 60th birthday bash.

So many plans, on hold or cancelled as the pandemic and lockdown affect us all...

Poetic Places Shallal Dance Theatre, a theatre tour and outreach performances at literary festivals pushing our use of sign language and accessibility and developing ES work with Pete Freeman in art galleries.

I liked the image saying that "the earth sent us to our rooms to think about it" We responded quickly with 'CONNECT & CREATE 16th/20th March - review of plans as coronavirus develops, keep in touch, stay connected!'

Many thanks to our funders, Henry Smith Charity enabled the community groups to run and Reaching Communities funding came in just before lockdown enabling Shallal2, & Shallal Dance Theatre, and the Studio rent for the next 3 years!

Shallal Dance Theatre's Art and Production afternoon slot became Shallal Art Zoom meeting for people across Shallal hosted by Barry Cooper, and with artists from West Cornwall to Liskeard joining in. Shallal 2 went international with Lily and Nicky from the hilltops of Southern Spain to a garden in Scotland with old Shallal colleague Shelley joining in after work!

However, equality and equity come into all these equations. We are very aware that not everyone has access to technology some by poverty, some by choice. So we also phoned & sent post.

'It was so great to re-connect and see some new faces. I need more Shallal in my life and really hope I can

6

be involved with some of the art stuff again moving forward. ' participant

We made a special Connect and Create Facebook page

'...a space to share what we are creating at home.

Feel free to post photos, videos, writing, ANYTHING creative on the group for us to see.'

And

A new Shallal arts you tube channel : hosting Picture Post videos, poems, dances, music and art work. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCHqXvGvul--aNrXo- NoGtsA

"Adore the film made me feel emotional to be so close and yet so far from someone, very beautiful. Thank you so much."

An output of my immersion into Culture Declares Emergency and Doughnut Economics was to share some of the best of what I'd heard, and with the support of Manda Brookman we hosted 'Regenerative Visions for the Arts in Cornwall' with 2 local and 2 national speakers attracted audience 73 from Japan & Berlin to UK, Cornwall! which showed its relevance - 55 on event.

We left the year with Our Culture Declares Emergency banner in our studio window. Building on Regenerative Visions, Shallal collaborated with Cafe Disruptif http://www.cafedisruptif.com/ for Cornish Doughnut Feast https://www.instagram.com/cornishdoughnutfeast/ - 'positive news and ways forward are what we need, so let's drop what got us here 'growth economics' and start joined up, circular thinking.'

Doughnut Economics provides a new inspiring model which can be adapted and is already being used by

many.

Let's promote and introduce it.

Shallal are now part of Cornwall Doughnut Collective.

Many thanks as always across the whole of Shallal for everyone's hard work, dedication, creativity and support.

4. Report from Colin Curbishley.

It’s a little bit tricky to cast my mind back to the first two months of 2020 but there’s one event I do remember very clearly to this day. It was a Shallal style party on a Friday afternoon in early March to celebrate my 60[th] birthday…the last time so many of us we’re gathered in one place. I feel very fortunate

7

to have shared that time with everyone and if I’d known what was coming two weeks later I’d have had a few more parties.

Since then, I’ve been very happy to see how Shallal has adapted to the big changes that we have all been experiencing. So, I’m starting with a big thank you to everyone involved in keeping things going through these challenging times. Not only did we manage to keep all the groups going but also created new projects that have reached a lot of people who are new to Shallal and probably wouldn’t have found us if things had just carried on as normal.

There have been other positive aspects to the fact Shallal hasn’t been able to do things in the way to set out this year. Many people in the community groups are forming stronger friendships and bonds through the online chat groups on WhatsApp and Facebook. The sharing of creative ideas, artwork, videos and photo’s that are made personally or taken from other platforms has help to lift spirits and fulfil Shallal’s ethos of celebrating community, ability and diversity.

We have mostly been holding sessions on Zoom particularly with the Express Yourself and Friends & Dancing groups. Debs has set up wonderful art sessions on a particular theme that I’ve then managed to carry over into the dance session, thanks to the help of the people participating and Demelza. They have been bringing along their music suggestions and ideas for new themes which has made for an interesting and fun time.

Fortunately, Kerry and I have been able to meet in person during the summer months with small groups in Penzance at the Penlee Open Air Theatre thanks with the support of the Town Council. When the weather turned in Autumn The Acorn kindly opened its doors to us again and we ran two sessions each Monday with six people at each to comply with the government guidelines. When they closed for refurbishments, we moved to the Big Dance Company on Chapel Street thanks to Fiona and Ben for being very supportive. We are forming a new relationship that will hopefully grow in the future when they buy the premises, and we can have an allocated space and possibly and art studio. These sessions proved very popular, and I believe, have helped people to gain the confidence to come out and express themselves again by dancing with others.

The Sketchbooks project now led by Claire went online back in the summer and it’s been a great pleasure to spend a few hours a week with her and all the participants making visual art. Some people have come from existing Shallal groups and others came through our connections with NHS Social Prescribing.

As always, it’s been my pleasure to support Jo at Shallal Main Company and share the sometimesturbulent waters of Zoomland. Finding new ways to carry on the unique creative process that continues to bring marvellous outcomes has had its challenges.

8

My prayers are that Shallal will again be performing in public very soon and continues to be a stable and thriving Arts Charity that always receives ample, generous funding and donations which fully supports all of its creative projects for the benefit of One and All in Cornwall and beyond.

5. Shallal Studios by Lou Brett

It would be easy to split the year into pre-Covid and Covid periods, given that the studio launched in September 2019 and got off to a flying start, only to close the following March. But actually, the studio has been incredibly active and innovative through the year and has continued to grow and thrive. The studio doors may have been closed on and off since March but, like all of Shallal, we’ve continued to work with our artists remotely, we’ve recruited new artists and we’ve launched new projects. We also have exciting and ambitious plans for the future. What is clear is that the pandemic has shone a spotlight on health, social and cultural inequalities in the UK, and that Shallal’s offer of creative social connection has been more urgently needed than ever.

We moved into our ground floor, purpose-built studio space at Krowji creative hub in September 2019 and began our pilot project ‘Expanding Limits’, opening three days a week and engaging around 40 artists. Funding from Creative Kernow (Arts Council and Cornwall Council) and Cultivator Cornwall (European Funding) meant that we were able to equip the studio with a Mac computer and printer, three cameras and tripods and a Wacom digital drawing pad as well as a flatbed printing press and screenprinting equipment. We also have a lower, more accessible sink and height adjustable tables. The studio offers open access workshops to artists of all ages and abilities and encourages artists to try new

creative mediums. We love the communal atmosphere where ideas bounce from one artist to another!

October 2019 saw our first opportunity to tell the local community about Shallal Studios, by taking part in Krowji’s Fun Palace. 180 people saw our ‘Drop in and Draw’ table, and 27 people, aged between 7 and 60 years, signed up for the Shallal Sketchbooks project.

At the end of November, we opened our doors to the public for the first time for Krowji Christmas Open Studios. 141 people came to see the work and the event was a fantastic opportunity to network with artists, potential funders, journalists and new creative partners. Our artists were excited to see their work hanging in an exhibition and three artists sold work.

To add to the creativity in the Autumn term, we managed to fit in our annual combined arts residency at Back Lane West, Redruth. With Arts Council funding, this year’s residency has been packed with diverse collaborative research, with 40 artists taking part. Light, shadow and puppetry was something of a theme, with a week-long shadow puppet research project and a really exciting opportunity to work throughout the month with lighting artist Peter Freeman. Peter’s work concluded with ‘Sculpting with Light’; a talk, Q&A and showing of residency research findings. Shallal dancers and musician George Bradley-Peer responded to Peter’s light installation, creating a powerful and immersive experience. Peter summed up the event:

"The collaboration and this performance is a meeting of light, space, dance and music…It’s provisional and unfinished but that’s the place it wants to be, in a zone of experiment, mistake and sudden luminous beauty." Peter Freeman

The residency closed with a well-attended sharing event including big, group abstract pieces, poetry and prose, short films and shadow puppets made by children at Red River Steiner School.

In January 2020, the studio was delighted to be included in Shallal’s ‘Embodied Space’ event at Newlyn Art Gallery, featuring a Main Company dance performance, lighting art by Peter Freeman and visual art from Shallal Studios. Additional funding from Cornwall Community Foundation’s Lord St Levan fund enabled studio artists who had never exhibited before to be part of the curation process of framing and hanging their work at Newlyn Art Gallery. One artist sold work.

The positive effects of an active, well-equipped and well-manned studio base can be seen across the charity as a whole and the advantages of being at Krowji; a connected creative hub, have been immediate, with opportunities to raise awareness of Shallal and increase engagement among the creative sector, social services and local people.

In March 2020, when the pandemic came along, the studio was well enough established in its relationships with artists to be able to support all of them to some extent remotely via the phone, Zoom, email and post. With emergency funding from Arts Council England and guided by the needs of our artists, this developed into Picture Post, a postal art project in partnership with Project Ability, designed to bridge the digital divide and to offer isolated artists a sense of community. This 6-month project has enabled 26 artists to work creatively at home and has resulted in an amazing gallery on our website of over 300 artworks on paper as well as two printed catalogues and a resource of accessible art

demonstration videos. Feedback from this project has enabled us to set up Picture Post 2, run by Shallal Sketchbooks, developing the project idea further and increasing the number of artists involved. Picture Post 2 is funded by the Postcode Neighbourhood Trust will run during 2021.

With the studio closed over Spring and Summer 2020, funding from Cornwall Community Foundation enabled the studio to support artists one-to-one outdoors who were extremely isolated and vulnerable and unable to access digital technology. For a few of our artists this has been a creative lifeline. Shallal Sketchbooks has also been incredibly active during this time, reaching many isolated and vulnerable people, as described in the Sketchbooks report.

Looking ahead: Thanks to funding from Reaching Communities Emergency Fund the studio will make adjustments to adapt to Covid-19 social distancing and hygiene restrictions in order to open after summer 2020 with up to two artists at once.

6. Sketchbooks Feb 2020 -August 2020 by Claire Mayle

At February half term I set up my first exhibition at Falmouth art gallery this was up for several weeks and then moved into the library space as part of the Benow festival it was my first (& last! due to Covid) workshop in person. I learnt a great deal from this experience and I am looking forward to continue to run workshops within the community as soon as possible.

Shallal sketchbooks ran a drop-in workshop in the library as well as exhibiting completed sketchbooks in the gallery.

11

The workshop aims to give guidance on how to begin a sketchbook. Explore different methods of how to express yourself and look at what can ignite your imagination and inspire you to make a mark.

During the first lockdown 35 sketchbooks were sent out reaching those that were particularly isolated, NHS workers & families. As well as other creatives and non-creatives alike, that wanted to participate with the project and try something new.

March through to June was spent navigating the first national lockdown and how we can reach people through the sketchbook. There was a small budget to begin with to provide sketchbooks within the community. Sketchbooks began to gain momentum towards the end of the summer when we were getting referrals through the social prescribing team. This proved to be a great success in providing regular support through the post, email, zoom and telephone calls to people that are particularly vulnerable at the moment.

Jane is an artist that was introduced to the project through the social prescribing service. Due to the medication Jane is on she is unable to work in the way she was once accustom to & now works digitally using photographs. We have been able to send images over to Jane for her to work with and engage with others in support Jane’s creative process.

15/06/20

‘I took part in the last Shallal Sketchbooks and I was so inspired by it that it led me to start painting. I have since held exhibitions and started a free art group for Falmouth in the community, so I am a huge fan of your work.”

Antonella via Facebook – runs Falmouth Community Art Group

Feedback from some of the artists that have been referred to us though the social prescribing service: Geraldine has said this has changed her life and is so pleased to have the contact, the sketchbook is giving her hope and cannot thank us enough.

Jane was isolated and felt unmotivated and is now looking forward to our conversations and is inspired by the sketchbook.

12

The image above was by Lauren who was finding life incredibly hard following the death of her brother and suffering from anxiety. Lauren has since been able to communicate more and open up to showing us her work. After receiving the sketchbook Lauren’s family supported her with this and was brought some paints, then another gave Lauren a camera to which Lauren has taken some exceptionally beautiful photographs which she shares on Instagram.

August

Due to Emergency Reaching Community Funding we were able to run a weekly workshop with our sketchbooks and is proving to be a great success. Through the workshops we continue to bring awareness & encourage to work responsibly towards our environment using recycled materials and supporting the use of environmentally friendly processes.

“Thanks to you and Lisa for facilitating the sessions for us so far. Your manner makes them friendly, relaxed and encouraging. I’ve been enjoying having a focus subject each week, and the time spent where we all work together online in our sketchbooks”.

14. Contribution made by volunteers

Voluntary community-based effort is intrinsic to the way Shallal works and we envisage building on this. By supporting the development of members’ capacity through skills development and training opportunities and events, individuals have been empowered to take on workshop facilitator roles and greater administrative and governance control of the charity.

Throughout the organisation, including the main dance company, in administration, governance and communication, service users are encouraged and enabled to play a full part as volunteers alongside artists and allied professionals. This helps to maximise the impact of the paid staff and facilitators, which in turn enables the organisation to maximise the impact of funding.

It is difficult to include the full extent of time input by volunteers, but the voluntary in-kind contribution is substantial.

17

15. Financial Review

The Shallal reporting period for the purposes of the Charity Commission runs from 1st September 2019 to 31st August 2020.

Shallal has remained solvent and it is a credit to all involved that the charity continues to operate in difficult conditions with Covid through lockdowns and uncertainty . Everyone has played their part, the application writers, the fundraisers, the facilitators and the trustees. Our new business and finance managers are working hard to strengthen the systems for financial management in the current year and that is providing improved assurance to trustees and members about financial management following a challenging period in late 2020.

The income over the year was received from the following sources:

GRANTS ARTS COUNCIL £37,441 HENRY SMITH £34,100 CORNWALL COMMUNITY FUND £7,180 SIR JULES THOR £750 CORNWALL COUNCIL £10,000 REACHING COMMUNITIES £90,270 TOTAL GRANTS £179,741 OTHER INCOME PARTICIPANTS FEES £4,905 DONATIONS £55 ART SALES £6 TOTAL OTHER INCOME £4,966 TOTAL INCOME £184,707 TOTAL EXPENDITURE £123,069 BALANCE OF INCOME OVER EXPENDITURE £61,638

It can be seen that our income exceeded our expenditure by £61,638 (2019 £24,807) but it should be noted that this surplus is committed to the delivery of funded programmes. There is a need to ensure that there continues to be close scrutiny of the accounts and budget projections, to secure the continued viability of Shallal.

18

The Reaching Communities Grant has had a significant impact on Shallal’s funding position this year. Total grants received in the previous year being just £88,441.

Other income is half of what it was in the previous year with participants' fees and workshop fees being significantly reduced due to the impact of Covid 19 and this is a continuing concern in the current financial year resulting in further reduction of our unrestricted funds. It is a priority for us to build this element of our income to ensure that Shallal can manage unexpected circumstances and invest in development. The balance of unrestricted funds £14,536 (2019 £12,561)

The trustees declare that they have approved the Annual Report and Accounts.

  1. NOTES TO THE ACCOUNTS

Stocks

Stock is included at the lower of cost or net realisable value. Donated items of stock are recognised at fair value which is the amount the charity would have been willing to pay for the items on the open market.

Trade and other debtors

Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount due after any trade discount offered. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid net of any trade discounts due.

Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash at bank and on hand, demand deposits with banks and other short-term highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less and bank overdrafts. In the statement of financial position, bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings or current liabilities. In the Statement of Cash Flows, cash and cash equivalents are shown net of bank overdrafts that are repayable on demand and form an integral part of the company's cash management.

Trade and other creditors

Short term creditors are measured at the transaction price. Other creditors and provisions are recognised where the charity has a present obligation resulting from a past event that will probably result in the transfer of funds to a third party and the amount due to settle the obligation can be measured or estimated reliably. Creditors and provisions are normally recognised at their settlement amount after allowing for any trade discounts due.

Leased assets

Where the charity enters into a lease which entails taking substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of an asset, the lease is treated as a finance lease.

Leases which do not transfer substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership to charity are classified as operating leases.

Assets held under finance leases are initially recognised as assets of the charity at their fair value at the inception of the lease or, if lower, at the present value of the minimum lease payments. The corresponding liability to the lessor is included in the balance sheet date as a finance lease obligation. Lease payments are apportioned between finance expenses and reduction of the lease obligation so as to achieve a constant rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability. Finance expenses are recognised immediately, unless they are directly attributable to qualifying assets, in which case they are capitalised in accordance with the charity's policy on borrowing costs.

Assets held under finance leases are depreciated in the same way as owned assets.

Operating lease payments are recognised as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

In the event that lease incentives are received to enter into operating leases, such incentives are recognised as a liability. The aggregate benefit of incentives is recognised as a reduction of rental expense on a straight-line basis.

Statement of cash flows

The charity is exempt from preparing a statement of cash flows on the grounds that it is a small charity

2 Company status
