Grant-making – our grant policies and procedures have been reviewed and we have managed to secure new funds that we can make available for our small grant scheme. The purpose of the scheme is to support new arts initiatives which would not otherwise get off the ground.

As members of the Reimagine Redditch Consortium (see Section C) we have undertaken to make funds available to support projects coming forward as part of that programme, so – pending further development of that programme – we have not been actively promoting our grant scheme.

In 2021/22, we awarded three grants:

You may choose to include further statements, where relevant, about:

policy on grantmaking;
policy programme related investment;
contribution made by volunteers.
Palace Drum Clinic - £232.50 guarantee against loss for a Birmingham Jazz Festival event in the Kingfisher Centre (AIR funds)
John Bonham Memorial event - £250 sponsorship of sound stage (AIR funds).
£500 to Indigo Arts to support a Jubilee Weekend event featuring a mix of visual and performing arts. This was funded by £300 from AIR, and £200 from The Redditch School of Art Trust.

Volunteers – all our activities to date have been undertaken by volunteers, including the Trustees, and this will continue for the foreseeable future. For each of the bi-annual Pop-Up Galleries, for example, every exhibiting artist undertakes approximately 6 hours of duty, supervising the event, talking to visitors, and dealing with sales. This amounts to some 300 hours of volunteer time for each Pop-Up Gallery. Some of those also volunteer as Duty Managers for each day. Artists, Members and other volunteers are also involved in other activities, such as manning our promotional gazebo at local community events.

In addition to the 4 Trustees, 5 other volunteers serve on our Steering Committee, which meets monthly to manage the activities of the charity. This is an increase on previous years, giving us more capacity to support our various activities.

Section D Achievements and performance

Summary of the main achievements of the charity during the year

Following the previous challenging year, when our usual activities were severely curtailed, 2021/22 saw us bounce back and recover the momentum that was lost during the pandemic.

In July 2021 – not our usual time slot – we staged our first Pop-Up Gallery since November 2019. Participation & visitor numbers were both down on ‘normal’ years, as there remained some hesitation to partake in and visit such events. By November 2021 however, we were able to re-establish the twice-yearly pattern of Pop-Up Galleries, with even more new artists joining our ranks. The usual May event in 2022 meant that we had completed three Pop-Up Galleries during the financial year, helping to boost our financial reserves.

A key event during the year was confirmation by Arts Council England that they had awarded Redditch £852,000 under their Creative People & Places programme, towards a 3-year programme budgeted at £1.3 million. Arts in Redditch are one of 5 consortium members who prepared the successful funding bid, and will oversee the programme, branded ‘Reimagine Redditch’.

The monthly U3A art appreciation sessions have resumed using a ‘blended model’ of face to face & Zoom participation.

During the year we took on responsibility for the exhibition space at the Lakeview Café in Arrow Valley Park, working in partnership with Rubicon Leisure Ltd.

April 2023 sees the 40[th] anniversary of the unveiling of the ‘Paolozzi Mosaics’, a major piece of public art created by leading British Sculptor, Eduardo Paolozzi and installed in the town’s Kingfisher Centre. To prepare the ground for a celebratory event next April, Arts in Redditch and Redditch Borough Council have engaged a University of Birmingham post-graduate student to research the history of the installation, and assess its relevance to local people today. This work is being funded by a third-party funding body.
