## **Management**
The organisation is managed by the Board of Trustees. Peak District Mosaic held 6 Trustees' and one Annual General Meeting in the financial year 2022-23.
Peak District Mosaic’s aim is to create and sustain engagement between the Peak District National Park and new audiences, including Black, Asian, and Minority Ethnic (BAME) communities living around the borders of the Peak District National Park. We do this by organising visits and activities that are fun but also develop knowledge, skills and new friendships. We take an active role in promoting and protecting this wonderful place for all, especially for future generations.
## **Objectives**
To provide or assist in the provision of facilities in and around the borders of the Peak District National Park, for education, recreation, or other leisure time occupation in the interests of social welfare for individuals who have need of such facilities by reason of their race, ethnic origin, youth, age, infirmity, disability, social circumstances or for the public at large, with the object of improving their conditions of life.

## **Review of the Year**
## **1. Championing National Parks for Everyone project - National Lottery Heritage Fund**
Peak District Mosaic were awarded £56,673 by the National Lottery Heritage Fund in May 2022 to develop the Championing National Parks for Everyone project in more detail. We also secured £13,000 of match funding from three National Parks for the project.
The project is led by Peak District Mosaic. We will work with the Peak District National Park, North York Moors National Park and Yorkshire Dales National Park to run the project across those different parks and their nearby cities. Derbyshire Dales Council for Voluntary Service are also a project partner, working to help build capacity and infrastructure. The project aims to:
- Increase the diversity of visitors to the National Parks through activities that develop skills, confidence and awareness of the benefits of National Parks
- Develop and deliver on a larger scale, the Community Champion training programme to support diverse communities to visit the National Parks independently
- Create improved pathways for people from diverse communities to enter employment in the environment / outdoor sector
- Develop Peak District Mosaic as a larger, more sustainable and financially resilient organisation
- Improve the practice of the National Parks in working with diverse communities
The project is currently in its development phase. We anticipate an application for full funding will be submitted to National Lottery Heritage Fund in August 2023, and that they will make a decision on whether to award project funding in December 2023. At this stage, the proposed project budget across all project partners is £572,651 and the project will run from summer 2024 to summer 2026.
So far the project has:
- Delivered networking events in Sheffield and Leeds to get feedback from different communities to inform the project’s design. Further events are planned for Middlesbrough and Manchester.
- Developed briefs and requested quotes for the development of a website for Peak District Mosaic and a re-fresh of our branding.
- Undertaken work to grow capacity at Peak District Mosaic, including developing policies, recruiting new trustees and developing a business plan
- Developed plans for the full project in more detail, including reviewing and updating Community Champion training resources
## **2. Partnership Working**
During the financial year we have partnered and worked with the following organisations:
- Huddersfield University
- University of Sheffield
- Hertfordshire University
- Sheffield and Rotherham Wildlife Trust
- Eyam Museum
- Youth Hostel Association
- Mount Cook Adventure Centre
3
Partnership working has allowed us to focus on different ways of meeting the needs of local communities for different activities and events. Also sharing our experiences to contribute to national research, educational trips to enhance learning about different cultures and historical events.
We continue to collaborate/form links with local and national organisations to enable greater participation in activities and events while developing skills and knowledge and embracing positive outcomes.
## **3. Group Activities and Events - Summary**
Peak District Mosaic (PDM) engaged with participants (330 adults and 80 children) in a variety of outdoor activities and events throughout the year. This year, PDM started with an Easter family walk in Lathkill Dale and enjoyed guided walks in Dovedale, Ilam Park, Tideswell, Grindleford, Hope Valley, Blackamoor and Bradfield.
Museum volunteers led us through a fascinating tour of Eyam Museum followed by a short walk in the village.
A great time was spent walking and cycling in Fairholmes/Derwent Valley and along the Tissington Trail, with support from Peak District Park Rangers. We commemorated the Kinder Mass Trespass 90th anniversary in Hayfield with a group trip and Yvonne Witter was invited to give a speech on behalf of PDM.
We collaborated with Youlgreave Parish Council for a tree planting ceremony in Alport Lane Playing Fields village, to commemorate Jamaica's 60th Independence Anniversary. The celebration included poetry, personal stories of migration to the UK and a fashion show. Peak Park Rangers facilitated a walk to introduce people to the tranquillity of the local village.
Susan Downer – creative writer and group facilitator, facilitated an immersive creative writing activity in Hathersage, working in partnership with New Beginnings, for Refugees and Asylum Seekers living in Sheffield, who access their services. The event is featured in the book produced by New Beginnings, “Wish You Were Here” – A Year of New Beginnings in the Peak District National Park. Additionally, participants enjoyed a group walk in Longshaw, accompanied by a researcher from the University of Sheffield, discussing the benefits of connecting with nature.
The Sheffield One World Choir performed at Longshaw, and we participated in Ordnance Survey National GetOutside Day at Hartington. We also had an amazing walk led by Pete Tapping - Parish Councillor in Biggin-by-Hartington.
During the October half-term holidays, the Sheffield & Rotherham Wildlife Trust led a family walk in Langsett. This outing offered an educational and engaging experience, demonstrating the region's rich biodiversity.
The Annual General Meeting was held in Edale in July 2022, followed by a walk. This provided a great opportunity for networking. The year concluded with a youth adventure at Mount Cook Adventure Centre, Matlock. These activities fostered a deep appreciation for nature, history, and community.
We also worked with other organisations to broaden the range of activities that are available for participants. Working in partnership with Peak District National Park, Peak District Mosaic has had tremendous support from the Peak District Engagement team and Volunteer Rangers, in helping to risk assess, lead and support many of the walks.

Thank you to the Rangers for their involvement in making the group walks a success. Thank you to all organisations who have worked with PDM over the year. Last, but not least, thank you also to participants who engaged with and made the events and activities memorable.

In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention which gives me reasonable cause to believe that, in any material respect, the requirements to keep accounting records and to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records have not been met; or to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
