Team Imagineers Report of the Trustees

The Trustees present their report and financial statement for the year ended 5th September 2019.

Legal Status

Registered Charitable Incorporated Organisation - Charity Number 1170434.

Review of Activities

In our accounting year September 2019 - September 2020 Team Imagineers provided classes and workshops in arts and crafts skills and gave the opportunity to display work, under three main projects.

Everyday Heroes.

Royal Marsden this year were funded by D’Oyly Carte.

Revive funded by SCVS (Sutton Centre for the Voluntary Sector), we repurposed this funding for Everyday Heroes, with the permission of SCVS, when Lockdown prevented Revive continuing.

Social Impact For every £1 invested in Team Imagineers as a charity, generates over £5 value in terms of contribution to local community, generating wellbeing, happiness in participants, brightening and improving the built environment.

Biodanza : In December 2019, we ran a Christmas Workshop with Biodanza and felting at Waterloo Action Centre.

CAOS: In June 2019 we worked at Honeywood Museum to create wet felted (Hana) and hand sewn collage (Simon) artworks inspired by the collages made by patients in the Stroke Unit at St Helier. The work that was made was donated to be displayed at St helier Hospital, as part of our ongoing aim of environmental enrichment. We were able to present the finished, framed and reworked art in March 2020, see the following two images:

The Royal Marsden : Work continued with Simon and Hana running workshops for the School Room at the Marsden. We created more work in clay, finger puppets, several items in felt: wigs, hats, wet bags, decorative pieces.

Sutton Women’s Centre : in December 2019 we installed the mural that we had made with ladies of Sutton Women’s Centre. Hana taught the ladies how to make geometric tiles in the shape of a traditional design known as ‘The Breath of the Compassionate’. Simon and Hana then ran workshops with the ladies to decorate their tiles. Small shapes and birds were also made using offcuts from the clay. The ladies were able to paint their work which was then fired twice, using our kiln.

COVID-19

We had planned to continue working in hospitals and in the community...Lockdown made this impossible. We spent several days writing funding applications that were actually ahead of their time….only now are the funders realising the importance of mental health support and wellbeing, the applications were unsuccessful. However, we were able to repurpose funding from SCVS and use it for Everyday Heroes, an idea that we developed to support the community in Lockdown to support mental health, promote a sense of community in spite of isolation, to celebrate the NHS and other Everyday Heroes, and to create legacy artworks to commemorate Lockdown.

Our volunteers actually increased dramatically during Covid-19 from 6 to 17. This helped us do more during Lockdown and the pandemic, enabling us to continue our work while more of our arts learning delivery was online in Lockdown.

Learning was delivered during summer 2020 through a series of Covid secure dance and clay workshops. Our volunteer training at St Helier Hospital on infection control/ health and safety, in 2019, helped us create Covid-secure working conditions. We also developed regular Zoom gatherings; people learnt new creative skills, exercised and socialised.

We enlisted 11 artists who formed community hubs during lockdown so that the public could pick up clay from a hub and drop it back for kiln firing. 7 artists were based in the London Borough of Sutton, and some worked in other boroughs so took the project to their borough. Other artists created community hubs in Croydon, Norwood, Guildford and one through their online community. Artists gave their services free, but we offered to cover the cost of clay and their kiln use. This greatly increased our capacity during lockdown to engage communities in arts learning which was good for their mental wellbeing.

Our Social Media was used to reach more people, YouTube views reached over 3,000 and Instagram followers increased to 222 followers. This furthered arts

learning delivery and Team Imagineers’ online visibility. Our increased social network activity meant new people joined our Everyday Heroes project.

Everyday Heroes enabled us to work and benefit many more people than we initially expected in early March 2020! We have reached 455 in total September 2020, 280 people have gained arts learning through the ceramic aspect of our project, of whom 45 were from the general community, 10 had a disability, 57 were from a disadvantaged background, 26 were elderly, 66 were vulnerable (shielding or self isolating for health reasons) and 123 were young people. The majority of the latter participated in the project through contacts with school and college teachers.

Logo and branding for the Everyday Heroes project were created by Hana and Hassan Horack. They also updated the website page to include a separate section on this project and stories about the artists involved. This is a work in progress.

Sponsorship was secured for Everyday Heroes from Potclays and Mayco Colors. Potclays gave us the free clay that we distributed and Mayco Colors gave us free glazes. All the hearts and coloured finishes have resulted from their generous donations. We made a “how-to” video that was watched by participants who were unable to attend online classes.

To support Everyday Heroes, we started a Just Giving Campaign and have raised almost £1370.

Our artists spoke to people to find venues that Everyday Heroes ceramic hearts could be installed. St Helier Hospital and Epsom Hospital will be installing large hearts installations as permanent murals on the entrance walls of their new A and E departments. Work was permanently installed in the paediatric cancer unit at the Royal Marsden in a beautiful handmade display box and as exterior murals on the Great Carlton Social Club building. There is a temporary exhibition at Royal Surrey Hospital in Guildford. Additionally, fronts of houses in Norwood and a private household installed hearts in their front gardens. Subject to funding and COVID-19 regulations, we can proceed with installing more hearts.

Everyday Heroes Installations Agreed

St.Helier Hospital and Epsom Hospital are building new A & E departments, they will be installing hundreds of our hearts on the main walls of the new departments.

community hub for clay distribution. She worked with people who were financially disadvantaged and of mixed ethnicity as well as with Russian immigrants. The arts learning activity supported them during these times. She also worked with elderly and vulnerable people online, live via Zoom. This attracted 75 people, of whom 9 had a disability, 26 were vulnerable, 14 disadvantaged, 2 young people. 27 were from the general community via Facebook live so we could not gather data, while a further 100 people watched the Facebook events after the live feed.

Videos: Simon Honey made a series of fundraising and promotional videos that we uploaded to Youtube and Facebook. Hana made a how-to video for the clay workshops. Olga has developed the use of Reels to promote Team Imagineers.

Work was exhibited in Honeywood and Whitehall museums, in Carshalton and Cheam respectively, as part of Sutton’s first Art in Lockdown exhibition.

NHS Tiffin: This was a project that we ran voluntarily, after discussing with Dan Camp and Rachel Addy of St Helier Hospital. Hana collected donations of food and baked products every week for the first Lockdown, and delivered the scrumptious offerings to the hospital staff.

Everyday Heroes in Great Carlton

In June 2020, Hana, our regular freelance artist relocated to Great Carlton, Lincolnshire, a rural community, where she delivered Covid-secure socially distanced workshops for 27 people who had been shielding and others who had a disability.

Comments on Everyday Heroes:

A great idea to include people in a lovely way to join together to make hearts.

A magical idea that precious loved ones are remembered in a beautiful clay heart is enchanting, beautifully souls linked together creatively.

Great idea - the kids loved making the hearts.

Lovely idea and a great art lesson for my boys!

What a wonderful project. I lost my father to leukaemia last year, and received wonderful care at North Mymms and Barnet General. Thank you to NHS health staff.

Art Is Essential Campaign

We also developed social media posts to support and promote knowledge of the value of the arts for wellbeing. Art is essential and should be part of standard recovery and treatment protocols. Here are some examples:

What next for Team Imagineers?

Team Imagineers continue to create new projects and enjoy making a difference in engaging communities and impact on wellbeing for families and individuals in especially vulnerable times.

We are proud to be at the heart of remaking and re-creating the future for our clients and involving communities to celebrate our NHS with our projects. Our intention for future projects lies in supporting vulnerable communities’ mental health through arts and to continue bringing validation and recognition for the hard work of the NHS.
