1. Introduction

This annual report tells the reader about the achievements of Shallal, its par�cipants 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 informa�on at the end of the document which tells you about what Shallal exists to do.

The main Annual Report contains reports and celebra�ons from our Chair, our Crea�ve Director and from some of our facilitators.

2. Chair’s Report from Henrietta Boex

Another busy year for Shallal with lots of comings and sadly a few goings. We say goodbye and good luck to facilitators Lou Bre� and Phoebe Barnicoat who have embarked on their new venture CoMo�on. They have brought so much to Shallal over the last few years and helped us to diversify and explore wider horizons. We look forward to future collabora�ons with them. I am grateful to my fellow trustees for their ongoing support and wish to thank Barry Cooper and Lizzie Dennison who have stepped down this year and to welcome Mary Godwin and Elizabeth Tomas who bring a diversity of skills to the Board.

As ever I must thank the ongoing support of our funders Henry Smith Charity, Arts Council England, Cornwall Council, Postcode Local, Claire Milne Trust and Ashley Family Founda�on as well as the generosity of smaller grants and individual philanthropists. The funding landscape is not ge�ng any easier, but I am convinced that Shallal is such a worthwhile organisa�on that helps to improve the wellbeing and happiness of on average 120 people a week across Cornwall and many more if you take into account friends and family and those that come to our sharing events. How great that we are in Liskeard, St Austell, Newquay, Falmouth, Penzance, Newlyn and have a centrally accessible studio at Krowji in Redruth. This geographical spread enables a very rich exchange of ideas and prac�ce which is born witness by the calendar of events at Appendix A and also the reports from our Lead Facilitators that follow this.

And with that in mind my chief thanks go to those without whom Shallal would not exist and who among them do all the hard work. Namely the Crea�ve Director, Jo Willis and other �reless lead and assistant facilitators, ar�sts and volunteers including (in no par�cular order) Colin Curbishley, Janice Schneider, Lois Taylor, Debbie O’Nyons, Kerry Tomlins, Amy Lawrence, Demelza Rouncefield , Becky Watson, Jo Lumber, Star, George Bradley Peer and of course all the wonderful, crea�ve members themselves. Thank you to one and all and onward and upward.

3. Shallal Report from Jo Willis, Creative Director.

It was a wonderful year for a range of events with many glorious crea�ve crossovers. The forefront being the Tate commission for their Winter Fes�val, ‘Connec�ng Forms’, and the DIY Fashion Show. These were real windows into Shallal’s mul�-talented, mul�-faceted ar�sts and teams.

We con�nued celebra�ng Passmore Edwards with a performance at Blackwater Village Hall, his home village. We then started what we hope will become annual birthday celebra�ons, featuring our ‘Passing on Passmore Pasty of Gra�tude’ cards to ini�a�ves

reflec�ng his suppor�ve contemporary ethos in our local communi�es.

In the DIY Fashion Show Zoe Wilton achieved a long-held dream of seeing her fashion designs realised and enjoyed, and everyone’s work shone. Congratula�ons to all who made it possible.

In this past year much was established and consolidated and then much has changed. In mid2024 Lou and Phoebe le�, moving onto other things including developing their Co-mo�on projects CIC. Before leaving some of the highlights Shallal Studio delivered were the highly successful DIY Fashion Show, training day at Tate, and Hospital Rooms commission for ar�st Janet Holland. We are so grateful for all their input, too many achievements to list them all, but they include a big thank you for our new website, crea�ng fascina�ng mul�-faceted projects and Lou’s consistent bid-wri�ng skills. They shared and established so much, and increased opportuni�es and partnerships, we look forward to working with them in their new CIC.

Janice established the arts fes�val Chill Out tent and led on three outreach projects, Project Arts Lab to Curnow School with Demelza, Shallal Sketchbooks and Get Changed Theatre Company with Kerry Tomlins.

As always everything only happens with the dedicated vision and energy of all the facilitators and associate ar�sts, making opportuni�es, seeing possibili�es, and caring for the rela�onships and visibility of all the ar�sts. This dedica�on has enabled us to con�nue to deliver through a brief barren funding patch for a few groups.

Behind the scenes:

The trustees have been working on the transparency and voice of the par�cipants being heard easily throughout the organisa�on, not just in the groups, firstly through regular visioning and now Members mee�ngs and invi�ng Zoe Wilton and David Willoughby in exploratory member trustee roles. Zoe and David have vast experience of most of the areas of Shallal. Welcome to trustees Elizabeth Tomos and Mary Godwin both of whom have a lot to offer. Thank you to Lizzie Dennison and the opportuni�es she enabled for us.

I am slightly overwhelmed with picking out what to talk about it, I point you to our NEWS sec�on on our website, our social media and i can’t even keep up on our blog anymore. It was a joy to have Bobby work with us on marke�ng and publicity and her skills have le� us be�er than before.

We managed to maintain our outreach to Newquay and St Austell. We listen to the people we work with and changed the Dance to Art and Movement in Newquay. We are glad to meet and begin to work with dance ar�sts Ishita Raina and Hannah Jacobs and to have had ar�st Bunny Ladd’s support.

Thank you to the trustees for being hands-on and suppor�ve through background changes and as always to everyone who makes it possible. Symbio�c is the way I o�en used to describe Shallal, many of us find it mutually fulfilling, and it’s fun when friends return and when new people find us. We are in it for the long haul. I have watched people wait years to free their �metables to come along to a group and then never leave.

I have recently enjoyed covering a Studio art group, we all con�nue to learn. Crea�vity and community is not an op�on, it’s a necessary way, especially in these �mes.

I realised more than ever this year that my love and main interest is in community arts with opportuni�es, raising the glass ceiling, enabling talented ar�sts to be seen, appreciated, enabling people to access the arts and not be deferred by cost, to share the joy and beauty of working together aspiring to equity, and celebra�ng.

So many people make up Shallal, all important, and I just want to men�on and pay tribute to Lily’s mum Nicky Harvey, who died suddenly this year, she supported Lily’s crea�vity enabling her to join in on zoom from their home in Spain, she wrote two short children’s stories for us and was such an enthusiast and support for Shallal, having said I can’t blog I will put the rest there.

Highlights: Rolling around making marks on paper on the floor leading to dancing to Ma� Thomason’s music with the background of the sea at Tate St Ives, watching the audience reac�ons to ‘spontaneous response’ performances, hanging bright cheerful exhibi�ons in community spaces and more, and the weekly meet ups which underpin it all.

Thank You All.

4. Report from Colin Curbishley.

The year kicked off at the Main Company with a ‘grand do’ in honour of Katherines 80th Birthday at which various members performed a party piece.

The year-long celebra�ons of Passmore Edwards bicentenary con�nued with several more ou�ngs of the puppets. At the opening of The Ladder they were introduced to royalty, namely the Duchess of Gloucester who watched a short performance and cha�ed to people. Shallal Main Company joined forces with Shallal 2 for Passmore’s birthday in Falmouth Art Gallery in a performance of ‘Moving On’ but the puppets did make further appearance in a parade on Mazey Day in Penzance.

Personally, that marked my return to ac�vity a�er a hip replacement earlier in June and came not a moment too soon for me. My favourite performance of the year was at Tate St Ives ‘Winter Fes�val’ in the amazing, curved gallery that looks out over Porthmeor. It featured the 4-metre-high collabora�ve pain�ngs we did inspired by a visit to the Barbara Hepworth Museum sculpture garden, with a focus on her biggest work called ‘Single Form’. We were very well looked a�er by Tate staff on all our visits and look forward to more collabora�ons.

This was the sixth year of the Henry Smith charity funding all the Shallal community groups including weekly Studio sessions plus the weekly Dance and Art Connec�on sessions on Zoom. We have now put in our third and final 3-year funding bid to them with a decision due in October 2024.

One of the Express Yourself/Friends and Dancing par�cipants, David W has been given an opportunity at the Dracaena Centre to sing and tell stories to a children’s group. He has also taken on a new trial posi�on in Shallal as a ‘Member Trustee’, both of these roles he’s very excited and proud about. Deb’s and I have been receiving fantas�c help in se�ng up the space for the art group from Peter K a long standing member of various Shallal groups...thanks Pete.

We took the groups to the Shallal Studio ar�sts fashion show at Princess Pavilions for what was a fantas�c display of costumes and models alike, a wonderful celebra�on of crea�vity and community with over a hundred people in the audience.

At Open House in Penzance Kerry has been running engaging and fun sessions that have inspired a few of the community group par�cipants to try out the Main Company.

This progression pathway is something we offer to anyone who aspires to join a performance company and has been very successful over the years, long may it con�nue.

I send a heartfelt thanks to all the trustees who are dedicated to helping Shallal thrive and supporting the constant driving force of our brilliant Creative Director/Benevolent Dictator Jo Willis. Here’s to another year of co-creative endeavours

5. Sketchbooks by Janice Schneider

In the Autumn of 2023 Shallal Sketchbooks were showcased at the Krowji Christmas Open Studios, crea�ng a wonderful exhibi�on. We were delighted to welcome many visitors who looked through the diverse range of crea�ve work. Several visitors signed up for a sketchbook and discovered the other vibrant Shallal groups in our community.

In the winter, we were thrilled to bring Shallal Sketchbooks to a new and exci�ng venue at The Ladder in Redruth. Although the space was s�ll undergoing

6

extensive renova�ons to fully resource it for rehearsal, performance, co-working, and ar�st residencies, it provided a unique and evolving environment for our group (‘The Writers Block’ area proved very inspiring). Armed with blankets and hot drinks par�cipants joined us monthly, delving into their own crea�ve journeys developing crea�ve ideas and discovering new techniques. The format of the sketchbook project con�nues to show its profound impact on par�cipants' health and wellbeing, also fostering new connec�ons beyond the sessions themselves.

Following the success of the project at a community hub in Perranporth Newquay, we expanded to another community hub and food bank in Callington, East Cornwall. Running weekly throughout January 2024, these consecu�ve sessions were invaluable in building confidence among par�cipants. Feedback was overwhelmingly posi�ve, with partners at the hub no�ng how clients who would typically shy away from such ac�vi�es were eager to join in, many asking for more sessions. Once again, the format of the project and the freedom to explore, whilst being supported to develop their own crea�ve path proved key. While hos�ng the sessions in a community hub and food kitchen presented some challenges, it made the experience accessible and surrounded par�cipants with partners who could offer addi�onal services when needed. This hub was incredibly suppor�ve and would greatly

By spring, we returned to Shallal Studio at Krowji, where we con�nue to hold monthly sessions. Many of the core group from The Ladder s�ll join us, alongside new faces. We've also introduced a blended session format, offering par�cipa�on via Zoom during the studio �me. Although this can shi� the group dynamics a bit, it's been embraced with enthusiasm, allowing even more people to engage in the project.

This has truly been an incredible project that has touched individuals on such a personal level, and I’ve deeply enjoyed working with everyone involved. The sense of community, crea�vity, and connec�on has been nothing short of inspiring.

6. St Austell Community Dance Improvisation Group Janice Schneider /Demelza Rouncefield

The Autumn term 2023 saw our group move to a new venue that proved very exci�ng for the par�cipants. A very welcoming dedicated dance studio space (Studio4) with café facili�es, based in the centre of St Austell.

The par�cipants had gained in confidence following the ‘Pop Up’ Impromptu performance at The Fes�val on the Beach earlier in the year (Outreach connec�on with the Prodigal Theatre & The UPG Team). The group were very keen to work towards more performance opportuni�es. In the fortnightly sessions we con�nued to explore dance theatre ideas and par�cipant led crea�ve prompts. Quirky music and props became a regular feature as the group were establishing their own iden�ty. The numbers remained small but stable between 5-10, however awareness of the group had started to grow in the community and interest was building. The group members had established a strong bond and were proac�vely encouraging others to join and supported each other to a�end. Although the group is not running at present there are ongoing enquiries and interest for a group in St Austell, and we hope to relaunch at some stage.

7. Newquay Art and Movement Community Dance Improvisation Group Janice Schneider/Julie and Becky Watson

At the request of the local community a new Newquay Art and Movement group was launched. The sessions were run monthly. The aim was to use a new approach and blend the session using visual art ideas and dance improvisa�on.

We explored and experimented with large gestural work / Ma�sse inspired cut outs / light and Shadow theatre, as well as projec�on and movement. It was clear that the group were growing in confidence and enjoying the combina�on of art and movement in this format. Individual par�cipants were proac�ve in ini�a�ng ideas for the group to respond to. Great music and great fun was had by all as well as producing some very crea�ve work. Very much par�cipant led and one group member with support needs had the role of associate ar�st support and contributed to warm up sessions and joined us on the zoom planning mee�ngs with crea�ve ideas. Although the group is not running at present there are enquiries and interest for a group in Newquay and we hope to relaunch at some stage.

8. Out There Liskeard by Lois Taylor and Janice Schneider

We have had a full and busy year and also a deeply crea�ve one. We are super pleased with how since Covid we have been able to build and sustain the groups numbers. We now have a core group of 10 par�cipants alongside the 2 facilitators and then many regulars who drop in for different sessions. This year has been very sociable, we have been connec�ng out with

9

other groups and ar�sts and joining in crea�ve projects within the community, to open up the work of the group, enrich crea�ve prac�ce and enjoy new people and experiences.

Con�nuum Dance - We invited Con�nuum Dance to join one of our sessions. We have done this before and there is a depending of knowledge about each other’s work which is lovely. Con�nuum is a Lostwithiel based group of about 15 women who have been working in improvisa�on prac�ce together for many years. 12 joined our session, we explored ideas together then each group shared some of the things they have been working on. This offers an exchange of skills and ideas and witnessing and valida�on of each other’s work.

Birds on the branch line - Sally Crabtree - We collaborated with Poet and songster Sally Crabtree in her project with Birds on the branch line. This was a partnership with Artconnexion and funded by Great Western Railways. This inspired us to explore the movement of birds, then in a workshop with Sally she made a song from the groups feelings about being a bird in flight. The group loved the immediacy of the crea�on of a song filled with their words, and Sally said she was overwhelmed that we had created so much in response to her project.

Danced messages - Another idea we have enjoyed this year is sending danced messages – short films of an improvisa�on by the group with a message at its heart. We sent a happiness dance message to one member of the group who was poorly and we sent a message “Spread your wings and fly” based on our Birds on the branch line work, to a group of adults with Parkinson’s based in Finland and exci�ngly they sent one back.

Stories of Stuff - We hosted Stories of Stuff – this involved a writer asking us to bring in and talk about an object important to us. She then wove this into a piece of wri�ng. The wri�ng and our objects are now in an exhibi�on at Liskeard Library. This project was run by The Writers Block. A�er the workshop with the writer The Story Republic performance group came to one of our sessions, they watched our group improvise that had arisen out of the Stories of Stuff work, they joined in and then they performed some of the stories gathered from over the project for us.

Ideas and sharing them - We always gather ideas from the group to work with and explore, and ideas have included Top Hats, the colour yellow, trains, the spirit of spring and more. We have been par�cularly happy that one par�cipant has opened up and begun to really par�cipate within the group rather than on the edges and another has been able to share their wri�ng and poetry with our guests on a level as an equal. We have no�ced a real development and confidence with one par�cipant in balance and coordina�on and in another in flow and extension of movement increasing their poten�al range of movement for expression. We love to share the work we do so as well as sharing them with our guest groups and ar�sts, we have had 2 open sessions for family, guardians and support and friends where share our way of working live and on film.

The little box - This has become a lovely way for every member of the group to lead an idea for the session. It came from the Stories of Stuff project when one participant brought in a little box with something special in it and told how her and her daughter would place surprises in it for each other. We have a little box of our own and each week someone takes

10

it home and puts something in and can bring it back to the group as a starting point for dance and conversation. So far we have had a Cornish Piskie, a piece of jigsaw, a medal, a poem and some hand printed paper, who knows what else we are going to find to inspire our imaginations!

11.Charitable Objects (what Shallal is here to do):

Promote, maintain, improve and advance educa�on and to preserve and protect health par�cularly by providing access to and involvement in the performing arts including the arts of dance, theatre, music, visual arts, film, costume, photography, sculpture, wri�ng and theatre technical skills by a wide range of the community, especially those who need a suppor�ve environment.

11

12.Shallal aims to:

13.Contribution made by volunteers

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

Throughout the organisa�on, including the main dance company, in administra�on, governance and communica�on, service users are encouraged and enabled to play a full part as volunteers alongside ar�sts and allied professionals. This helps to maximise the impact of the paid staff and facilitators, which in turn enables the organisa�on to maximise the impact of funding.

It is difficult to include the full extent of �me input by volunteers, but the voluntary in-kind contribu�on is substan�al

14.Financial Review

We were successful in securing £234,876 in 2022/2023. In 2023/2024 income reduced to £203,261 mainly due to major grant funding ending. Our expenditure during the 2023/2024 year was £200,440 which is also reduced from the 2022/23 £261,062 figure also as a result of less funded activity. We have recovered from the loss in 22/23 and steadied the ship in terms of total funds carried forward in 2023/24 £54,730 (22/23 £51,909). We thank our donors for their support (see ‘incoming resources from charitable activities in the Notes to the Accounts)

12

which helps us to make a positive difference for our members and participants at the same time as maintaining Shallal’s exemplary pursuit of artistic excellence. We continue to pursue more reliable/regular funding for core costs as well as project activity and will be applying to Henry Smith Charity for a further three-years of funding to support our outreach groups. We are grateful to Chris Gardner and Ian Burns for their administrative and financial work for Shallal.

15.Independent Examiner’s Report

I report on the accounts of the company for the year ended 31 August 2024 which are set out on pages 15 to 25.

Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner

The trustees (who are also the directors of the company for the purposes of company law) are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 (“the 2011 Act”). The trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144(2) of the 2011 Act and that an independent examination is needed.

Having satisfied myself that the charity is not subject to audit under company law and is eligible for independent examination, it is my responsibility to:

Basis of independent examiner's report

My examination was carried out in accordance with the General Directions given by the Charity Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from you as trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a 'true and fair view' and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below.

Independent examiner's statement

In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention:

1) which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements:

o to keep accounting records in accordance with section 386 of the Companies Act 2006 and section 130 of the 2011 Act; and

o to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records, comply with the accounting requirements of section 396 of the Companies Act 2006 and with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice: Accounting and Reporting by Charities have not been met;

2) or to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

ꞏ there is sufficient certainty that receipt of the income is considered probable; and ꞏ the amount can be measured reliably.

Donations and legacies are voluntary income received by way of donations and gifts. It is included within the accounts when receivable and only when the charity has unconditional entitlement to the income.

Tax reclaims on donations and gifts are included in the accounts at the same time as the gift/donation to which it relates

Donated goods and services are only included in income (with an equivalent amount in expenditure) where the benefit to the Charity is reasonably quantifiable, measurable and material.

The value of services provided by volunteers is not included within the accounts.

1.5 Resources expended

Liabilities are recognised where there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to the expenditure. All expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and includes the attributable value added tax which cannot be recovered.

Grants payable are charged in the year when the offer is conveyed to the recipient except in those cases where the offer is conditional, such grants being recognised as expenditure when the conditions attaching are fulfilled. Grants offered subject to conditions which have not been met at the year-end are noted as a commitment, but not accrued as expenditure.

Charitable expenditure comprises those costs incurred by the charity in the delivery of its activities and services for its beneficiaries. It includes both costs that can be allocated directly to such activities and those costs of an indirect nature necessary to support them.

Support costs are the those costs required to support the charity in carrying out its activities and meeting its objects.

Governance costs include costs associated with meeting the constitutional and statutory requirements of the Charity, including the preparation and examination of the statutory accounts, the costs of trustee meetings and other costs linked to the strategic management of the Charity including the cost of any legal advice to trustees on governance or constitutional matters.

1.6 Tangible fixed assets and depreciation

All assets costing more than £500 are capitalised.

Tangible fixed assets are stated at cost less depreciation.

18

Depreciation is provided on all tangible fixed assets at rates calculated to write off the cost less estimated residual value of each asset over its expected useful life, which is reviewed annually. The rates used are as follows:-

Camera and Music Equipment - 15% reducing balance Fixtures and Fittings - 25% reducing balance Computer equipment - 25% straight line

1.7 Taxation

The charity is exempt from corporation tax on its charitable activities.

1.8 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.

1.9 Cash at bank and in hand

Cash at bank and cash in hand includes cash and short term highly liquid investments with a short maturity of three months or less from the date of acquisition or opening of the deposit or similar account.

1.10 Creditors and provisions

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.

1.11 Leases

Rentals under operating leases are charged to the statement of financial activities on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

1.12 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

The charity is a charitable incorporated organisation and has no share capital. The charity is incorporated in England.

In the event of the charity being wound up, the liability in respect of the guarantee is limited to £nil per member of the charity.

The members of the charity are the trustees named on page 11.
