Summary of the objects of the charity set out in its governing document

To advance the arts and education for the public benefit in all aspects of the Lytham St Annes Art Collection as the Trustees think fit.

The Committee met 10 times. The first 4 were via Zoom for which more advanced preparation was done for them to be successful. Regular postings on Facebook maintained public interest in the Collection. The Friends have created a following. Both websites were kept up to date and much activity was experienced via the Contact Form. Enquiries received from all over the world. Information was both received and given out, dealt with by our researchers. Being a member of BAFM, we submitted articles to both regional and national journals. Chair attended a Zoom regional meeting – good to ‘meet’ other members. Organised events and activities which could be undertaken if affected again by COVID. Created a Walk Leaflet featuring the Art Colony in Lytham during the late 19[th] Century. Ran a Christmas Card Competition and printed the winning entries to Summary of the main sell at Christmas. Two successful, enjoyable events involving a activities undertaken for talk and refreshments were organised in May and October. One the public benefit in talk was given by a committee member about the Collection and relation to these objects she has become a popular speaker and gave talks to other local (include within this organisations, spreading the word about the Collection. section the statutory Letters were sent out to members throughout the year keeping declaration that trustees them informed and 2 Newsletters, A5 leaflets 20/24 pages, were have had regard to the printed and sent out in May and November, very interesting, guidance issued by the receiving positive feedback.

The team of five met several times and put in many hours to make sure the content of the reprint was up to date and accurate. Handed over 3 watercolours, donations to the Collection which had been given via the Friends, one by a member and another through our Contacts Page. Improved the running of the Friends by creating a President & a Vice-Chair.

Initiated meetings with individuals who have some say in what happens to and around the Collection. Trying to communicate effectively with Fylde Council, custodians of the Collection. No public displays of the Collection have occurred since they decided to stop using the Fylde Gallery. The Friends regret their action and try to fill the gap with other activities to maintain public interest and actively encourage actions for a space to be soon found for future exhibitions.

Section D Achievements and performance The Friends kept working effectively throughout the year 2021 Summary of the main in spite of COVID still hovering during the first few months. achievements of the Events were planned for the first half of the year which could go charity during the year ahead even if restrictions were imposed. Managed to end the year with £1,000+ more in the bank. Annual costs were met – Insurance, website maintenance & BAFM membership as well as the usual running costs of printing and postage. Income was generated from Gift Aid and subscriptions. Efforts were made and proved fruitful to maintain the number of members which fell only by a handful due to age related causes. Members were kept informed through the letters we sent out during the year and by reading the two very interesting and informative Newsletters sent to members in May and November. Profits were made on the two events we organised but there were limited opportunities to sell cards mostly due to enduring COVID restrictions. Much success has been achieved through the Contact Forms on our websites. Visitors to both sites contact us to ask for information and/or to give us information and we were able to add to our knowledge of items in the Collection. Also through this line of communication we were given a work of art which we passed on to be added to the Collection. Over the years, the Friends have established themselves as the organisation individuals can approach with any queries about the Collection. This continued throughout 2021. The Council currently do not make the general public aware of the Collection in any of their promotional literature and so the Friends fill the gap. As a committee we worked more effectively having made one of its members Vice-Chair, recognising her abilities which make her ideal for the position. Also invited a key member of the Friends to become our President, anticipating benefits to be seen in the future. A Promotional Folder was created, a well presented pack of relevant documents and information about the Friends’ activities and past achievements. This was to enable the Friends to make key individuals be informed about and made aware of the value of the Friends by giving them a pack. It proved effective when meeting certain members of the Council.

Our speaker gave several talks about the Collection both to our own members and to those of other organisations. Each talk was made different, cleverly tailored to appeal to the interest of the audience.

We ended the year feeling we had very definitely fulfilled our objectives in a successful and meaningful way as we constantly aim to do.
