| 2021/22 was a year in which we focussed | on | |||||
| strategic and new activities, arising from our |

| Summary | ofthe main | Para 1.20 | ||||
| achievements | ofthe charity, | Our major artistic activity involved the |

| identifying | the | difference the | creation ofa new opera with young people, | |||
| charity's | work | has made to | composed by around 20 young people. |
|||
| the circumstances | ofits | Between October 2021 and February 2022 | ||||
| beneficiaries and |
any wider | in series ofcomposition workshops |
||||
| benefits to society as a whole. |
organised by CYO, twenty young people aged between 11 and 19years old wrote |
the | ||||
| words and music for The Little Black Cat. | ||||||
| The younger participants, some ofwhom |
||||||
| had very little formal music education | ||||||
| created the cat choruses experimenting with |
||||||
| cat sounds and 'translating' them into |
||||||
| English and setting them to music. The older | ||||||
| participants created the score (music) |
||||||
| mentored by the composer Russell |
||||||
| Hepplewhite and the libretto (script) |
||||||
| for the opera was created with the support | of | |||||
| the CYO team. This work was of immediate | ||||||
| benefit to the young people taking part, who | ||||||
| were able to develop new skills and | ||||||
| experiences. One participant said: "You |
||||||
| gave me the courage to try things I might |
||||||
| never have done otherwise. The Little Black Cat showed me I could be a writer. " We also |
||||||
| worked with the Netherhall School who |
||||||
| based a Year 8 English module on the work. |
||||||
| The impact ofthis project extends into future | ||||||
| work, driving performance projects, |
||||||
| workshops with primary and secondary |
||||||
| schools and future partnerships which |
||||||
| should bring benefits to a wide range of |
||||||
| young people. | ||||||
| Our second major area of activity was | ||||||
| strategic. We started work on a new | ||||||
| business plan and on the development of |
a | |||||
| Youth Advisory Board to drive future activity |
||||||
| and impact. These were both started | ||||||
| towards the end ofthe period covered in this |
