Trustees Annual Report The trustees who are also directors of the charity for the purposes of the Companies Act 2006, present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the Ji ear ended 31st December 2025. The trustees have adopted the provisions of Accounting and Reporting by Gharities.. Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and RepLJblic of Ireland ;FRS 102,, effectivè l January 20191. Chair's Statement 2025 has been a year in which Holocaust Centre North has ¢ontinLJed to flex and grow. It has grown more confident In its voice, more ambitious in its rea¢h: and increasingly able to onnect the manu strands of its work into a coherènt and distinctive whole, At the heart of the work remains the simple but profound belief.. that forging personal connection to Holocaust stories provides a Ljnique platform for building cohesion, generating empathu and promoting critical thinking. As the living nieinopy of the Holocaust becomes more fragile, and aswe face a world marked by increasing polarisation, antisemiti5rn, conflict and intolerance. the need to preserve, shal'e and reflect on these histories feels ever Illore urgent. This year's report shows the breadth of that response. 2025 saw the greatest level of engagement in the charity's history. with significant growth in both in-person and online aLJdiences. Our education programme continues to deliver thoughtful and impactful work. We are proLJd of the quality and care with which the team approaches this vital work. At the same time. we are Committed not only to eKpanding the programme, but to deepening it. Going forward, we will be exploring how our education work can be connected ever more closelg to the other strands of the organisation,. in particular how our archive can be used in new ways to forge stronger. more visceral connections betwcen uoung people and the evidence of lives lived and lives lost. This uttar marked a significant step forward for the archive, not only in the volume Df the collection but also in how it can be a¢cossed. understood and utilised. The completion of the first phase of Homeward Bound and the launch of the new Collections Browser have transformed public access to materials. This will enable the archive to bÈ¢ome even more effective as the root of all our work, and the life blood on which our learning, artistic commissions, research and community engagernent all draw. That same visceral connoction to the archive sits at the heart of the success of the first tranohe of Mernorial Gestures residencies. The exhibition at Sunny Bank Mills was a major moment for the organi5ation. reaching audiences beyond our traditional geographic and demographic boundaries and opening up new forms of conversation. Through the work of artists, writers, translators aiid creative practitioners, the programtne found forms of language and encounter that spoke to visitors who may not always feel at home within traditional museum, academic or educational discourse. It demonstrated tlat Holocaust remembrance can be rigorous and historicallu grounded while also being imaginative, generous, emotionally opeii and alive to the present. The Rudi Project has similarly shown how our collections and stories can create space for connection across difference. In its firsL full year, Lhe project has begun to build meaningful Pdge 2
relationships with communities who have not traditionally engaged with Holocaust Centre North or with Holocaust education more broadly. This work feels especially important at a time when many people are living with the consequences of displacement, exclusion, insecurity and conflict. Named in honour of Rudi Leavor, whose life embodied a commitment to dialogue and shaped humanity, the project reminds us that remembrance is not only about looking back. but about asking what kind of civic and commiinal life we want to build now. None of this work would be possible withoutthe growing skill. imagination and commitment of the staff team. One of the great privileges of being Chair is watching the team develop". not only in size, but In confidence, expertise and creative ambition. Thi5 yeap has seen important investment in organisational capacity, including the creation of a Senior Leadership Team and a new fundraising role. This gives us the capacity to support work that already has such fertile roots. arid to help each strand of the orgar)isation grow with care, focus and sustainability. We are also mindful that growth brings responsibility. The work of Holocaust Centre North is emotionally demanding. intellectually complex and increasingly urgent It requires staff, artists, volunteers, trustees, partners and supporters to engage with traumatic histories while also responding to contemporaru challengès. l am proud that the organisation continues to place care at the centre of its practice." care for survivor and donor families. care for collections, care for audiences, care for COrnmLJnities, and care for the team itself. As ever, funding remains a challenge. Our ambitions are substantial. and the context in which charitiès, cultural organisations and educational bodies are operating reThains difficult. We are therefore deeply grateful to all those who have supported us this year.. our funders, partners, donors, patrons, volunteers. survivor and donor families, university colleagues comfnunity Collaborators and audienGes. Their belief in the organisation makes this work possible. Holocaust Centre North was foLJnded by survivors and refugees who understood the power of testimony, memory and human connectioii. Our task is not simply to preserve what they built, but to carru it forward with imagination, integrity and courage. This year has shown what is possible when archive, education, art aTrd community are brought into closer relationship with onè another. It gives tne great confidence in the next phase of the organisation's development, and great pride in the people who are shaping it. lenny Kagan PaFF 3

Introduction This report shares an overview of the work of Holocaust Centre North from January to December 2025, highlighting developments across our exhibitions, collections, learning programmes, public Èngagement, and organisational growth. It also reflects on the priorities that will shape our next phase of development, particularly around access, aLJdience engagement, and lorig-term sustainability. 2025 has been a significallt and productive year for the organisation. While the wider social and political context has continued to present challenges, including the ongoing conflict in the Middle East and the continuing impact of the cost-of-living crisis, we have remained focused on creating thoughtful. inclusive, and meaningful spaces for learning, dialogue, and ref lection. Throughout the year, we have continued to expand our audiences, strengthen our collections and programmes, and refine our educationalaiid public engagementworkto ensLJre it remains relevant. responsive, and grounded in Care and historical rigour. We have also invested in our team, partnerships, and organisational infrastructure, helping to build a stronger foundation for the f Llture. These developments mark an important step forward within our 2025-2021 strategic plaii, which focuses on deepening public engagement, widening access to Holocaust learning. and ensuring the long-term resilienGe and sustainability of the organisation. The following sections provide an overview of key achievements and developments across all areas of our work during tlie year. Archive collections 2025 marked the successful completion of Homeward Bound, our three-year project to catalogue, digitise and expand the Holocaust Centre North Archive. Building on this foundation, we have continued to professionalise our archive service. making significant strides in accessibility and collection devolopment. One of the most important milestones of the year was the launch of our new Collections Browser.. an online platform showcasing highlights from the archive through a series of curated digital galleries. Designed to hèlp visitors navigate the richness and complexitu of ourcollections, these galleries bring togetherthemed selections of photographs, docLJments. and artefacts, offering accessible entru points into the archive while encouraging deeper exploration. All materials are searchable and linked directly to the Holocaust Centre North Archive catalogue.ThissignifiGantly EKpandspublicaccesstocollections thatwere previously only available to visitors onsite and supports independent research from audiences across the UK and internationally. The launch was celebrated with a special event for collection donors and supporters and was accompanied by a coordinated programme of social media activitu, newsletters, and media coverage. Togethep, this helped raise awareness of the archive"s continued growth and the increasing importance of its research and public engagement work. This achievemerlt was made possible through the generous support of the Rothschild Foundation Hanadiv Europe and the Claims Conference.whose iiivestmenthas helped transform accesstothe collections. We look forward to Continuing this work thr'ough the next phase of Homeward Bouncl j2026- 2028; with further Cataloguing, digitisation, and new curated galleries planned. V3Ee 6

As interest in the collections continues to grow, this work has become increasingly important in managing demand and increasing efficiency. Our archives and collections remain atthe heart of everything we do. They shape our learning pogrammes, exhibitions, artIsle comTi issions, and public engagement work, ensuring that our activities remain groundad in personal histories, lived experience. and historical eviclence. The following sections highlight key areas of programming and engagement where the collections have played a central role throughout the uear. Pase 7

In partnership with the University of Huddersfield School Liaison Office, we continue to work to ensure that SGhools in disadvantaged areas across the North of England can access our programmes. Thanks to the Univèrsity's support, we are able to offer travel bursaries that help cover coach costs for schools that might otherwise be unable to visit our Centre. Alongside this, our outreach programme enables us to work with schools beyond our immediate regioii, including schools in Newcastle and Northumbria, helping us reach a wider and more diverse range of learners. During the year, we also continued to strengthen how we evaluate the impact of our learning and PLJblic engagemerTrt work. We developed a dedicated outcomes framework for this area of activity and began gathering both quantitative and qualitative evideiice to better understand participant experiences, learning outcomes. and longer-term impact. A Cross-organisational working group was established to review and further develop our learning programme. with a particular focus on how sensitive and complex histories are taught in the current social arid political climate This work has Included researching approaches used by peer organisations while also exploring how our own arcliive collections can plau a more central role within learning sessions. Particular attention has been given to expanding objoct-based learning, using both original archival materials and carefully developed replicas to encourage deeper engagement with testimony and historical evidence. We have also begun developing a new learning session In partnership with the Centre for Archaeology at the University of Huddersfield, whose internationally recognised work investigates sites connected to the Holocaust and other genocides through ethical archaeological practice. Following a research visit to Trawniki by several members of staff, this collaboration has informed the development of a new evidence-based session exploring archaeologu. testimony, and material traces of per'secution and violence. We hope to secure future fuiiding to further expand this work and develop additional resources. All learning tnaterials continue to be fully ourriculum-mapped to ensure alignment with relevant educational frameworks and requirements. Alongside ourr core schools programme. our learning team delivered a wide range of specialist engagement and training activity throughout the uear. This included one-to-one work with eightyoung people referred throLJgh the Prevent Channel Programme for extremist beliefs, including Holocaust denial and distortion, and the idealisation of Nazi ideology. The team also delivered training sessions for police officers, Prevent Champions, educators. and comfflunity practitioners focused on recognising and respondiiig to Holocaust denial, antisemitism, and conspiracy theories. Our Head of Learning delivered a five-session course f'or 40 students at Kirklees College in partnership with the Kirklees Couneil Prevent Team. addressing antisemitism, Holocaust denial. and online conspiracy narratives. We also began cieveloping a resource for the UK Home Office to support work in prisoiis with individuals expressing antisemitic views or Holocaust denial.
ndditional activity dLJring the year included training Israeli and Palestinian speakers in Holocautt awareness for Solutions Not Sides", delivering a webinar on Holocaust denial for tour guides at POLIN Museum Df the History of Polish Jews," hosting the Cheshire Office of the Police and Grime Commissioner for a dedicated Holocaust awareness training day., and speaking to 120 students as part of the Bradford Literature Festival. We also contiiiued to support academic research Gonnected to our collections and field of work, including supporting an MA by Research stLJdent and recipient Df the Lilia Black Scliolarship, whose work focu,ses 011 tho representation and photography of female perpetrators in Holocaust-related media. Throughout the year. Holocaust Centre North remained actively engaged in national conversations across the sector Staff contributed to a number of specialist working groups established in response to the increasingly challenging environment surrounding Holocaust education following 7 Octobep 2023. The,8e included the Holocaust Memorial Day Trust Partnership GroLJP, the Schools and Education Working Group led by Togother for Humanity. and a UK-wide roundtable bringing together Holocaust organisations to share learning, concerns, and approaches to public engagement and education.

Memorial Gestures Memorial Gestures, an initiative developed by Holocaust Centre North, is our flagship contemporary artist residency programme. rooted in the belief that Holocaust collections are not static historical records but living sites of enquiry, responsibility. and care. Through artist residencies, commissions. workshops, and exhibitions, the programme invites artists, writers, translators, and cultural practitioners to work directly with our archive in order to recontextualise Holocaust history within contemporary critical, social, and artistic frameworks. In doing so, Memorial Gestures seeks to create space for audiences and practitioners who have not traditionally seen themselves roflected within Holocaust eduttation or memorial culture. enabling new forms of engagement with difficult histories through creative and interdisciplinary practice.

Iliip At a time when fewer survivors are able to shane their testimony firsthand, Memorial Sestures also contributes to wider international conversations about the future of HolocaLJSt remembrance and education. While many Institutions are increasingly focused on technological responses to the post-survivor era, the ppogramme offers a complementary perspective. one rooted in material Collections. artistic interpretation. and human encounter. Rather than treating the archive as a fixed or complete narrative, the programme embraces fragmentation, abseriLe, translation, and plurality, expanding ideas of who can act as a messenger for these histories and how Holocaust memory can remain meaningful for contemporary audiences.

The third year of the programme culminated in a major exhibition in June at Sunny Bank Mills. a historic textile mill now art gallery and business space in Leeds, fèaturing newly commissioned works by all 15 residency participants. The exhibitioii represented a significant milestono for the organisation and was widely praised for its ambition, emotional depth, and accessibility. Over thÈ course of three weeks. the exhibition welcomed neanly 1.000 visitors, 720/0 of whom had not previoLJsly engaged with Holocaust Centre North. Visitor foedback described the exhibition as powerful. thoughtful. and welcoming to audiences of all ages, while 980/0 of respondents agreed that the programme demonstrated multiple ways of engaging audiences with Holocaust histories and collections. The opening event attracted around 180 attendees. including members of survivor and donor families. artists, attademics: aiid partners from across the Cultural and Holocaust sectors. A dedicated press preview generated coverage across local, national. arts, and Jewish media, alongside regional and national radio attention, helping to further raise the profile of both the programme and the HolocaLJSt Centre North Archive. The exhibition itself drew upon 1,850 items from 38 family collections. demonstrating the increasiiigly central role collections now play withirTr our public prograrnrne. Families whose material was represented within the exhibition responded with remarkable openne5S, generosity, and trust, including in relation to difficult or sensitive themes explored by artists. This has been olle of the most significant outcomes of the programme.. the deepening of relationships with survivor families and descendants tlirougli Collaborative aiid care-led practice. Increasingly, families are choosing to donate material to the archive becaLJ>e they
have seen how collections can be meaningfLJlly activated through artistic engagerllent, interpretation. and dialogue. Beuond the exhibition, Memorial Gestures continued to gènerate opportunities for engagement throughoLJt the year through workshops, talks, conferences, publications, and international exhibitions involving residency participants and staff. The prograwme enabled us to strengthen partnersliips with organisations including the Wiener Holocaust Libraru, Manchester Jewish Museum. and the University of Leeds. while also developing new collaborations with the University of Southarnpton and Iiivisible Flock. with whom we will deliver new residency activity in 2026. Across all in-person and online activity connected to the programme, attendance reached 1,238 people, alongside online engagemeiit exceeding 23,000. In 2025. we also continued to expand our in-house publishing sories linked to the residenc programme. Newpublications included Conversation Tirne bu translator Reyconquerand Klutz by writer TDM Hastings, both of whioh draw deeply on stories, experiences, and materials held within the archive. As witl) the visual artworks developed through the residencies, these publications emerged through close collaboration between residents, staff and donor families hAemorial Gtsstures artist Chebo Roltttr Pavez d•Wv•rlry a prwTrt Workshop Iwrth felbw Memorial &esturas artist Hanrmh Machoveriexploring'HiddenTreasures' atSunThy Bank Mllls.This worshtwwasinspiredby Hanryahsre5earch lnourarch and worklny wtth refugeè cornrnunlty Mbr5 and 6 Milllon+ on what they would keep hrddan) precious and ¢loso throu theirownjourneys.

The Rudi Project In November 2025, we celebrated the first uear of rhe Rudi Project, a major new initiative focused on building mèaningful relationshipswith local communitieswho have nottraditionally engaged with Holocaust Centre North or with Holocaust edu¢ation more broadlu. Over the course of the year, we delivered 20 community events and activities, engaging 442 participants as vve piloted new partnerships, creative approaches, and long-term models of community Collaboration. The communities involved in this work are diverse and include some of the most socially isolated and underrepresented groups across Yorkshire. Many participants have experiences shaped by displacement, tnigration, conflict, or exclusion, including refugees and asylum seekers, individuals with limited access to cultLJral and educational opportunities, and communities whose identities have beèn the subject of increasing hostility or politicisation within publiL debate and media discourse. This has included people directly affected by contemporary war and conf lict. A particular focLJg of the project has boen the Huddersfield and Kirklees area, where we have developed strong and growing relationships with Irnmigration and Asylum Support Kirklees, the Huddersfield and District Jewish Community, and our longstanding partners at 6 Million+ Together, these partnerships have enabled a wide range of activity, includin9 creative arts workshops, interfaith gatherings, community Conversations, and support for the re-establishmeiit and visibility of Jewish communal lifÈ iii Huddersfield Highlights included a collaborative interfaith Hanukkah celebration and the co-curation of elements of our 2025 and 2026 Holocaust Memorial Day commemorations with local cornmunities Tre&ryuredfamilyhanukAth8lHanukknh¢andèJAbrv4,'lJraughtby mambÈrsof thelocdJewishcommunitytoourcolhbor&tive lrtÈr-faith Hawkkah¢ekbratknn In Deceml>er.

Our 2025 Holocaust Memorial Day event at Holocaust Centre North welcomed 118 attendees and received particularly positive feedback f.or its warmth, inclusivity, and sense of shared reflection. Beyond the Centre itself, staff and partners also contributed to commemorativo events in Liverpool and York, collectively engaging more than 400 people. Through this Work. we have continued to explore how local communities can connect not only with the histories held within our collections, but also with broader contemporary questions around belonging, displacèment, identity. resilience, and shared humanity. The Rudi Project is grounded in the belief that Holocaust liistory can cr'eate opportunities for connection across difference when approached with care, openness, and humilitJi. We recognise that tnany of the communities we work alongside carry experiences of trauma, exclusion. on insecurity of their own. By facilitating thoughtful engagement vjith stories of persecution, forced migration, survival, and rebuilding held within our archive, we seek not onlu to support Holocaust learning, but also to create spaces where people feel able to share aspeGt5 of their own histories and experiences Through this process, we hope to Holocaust sUrVhr arHI HSFA Honorary LrFe ProsldÉnt Trudè &lrnan. lit5 a candle wth her daughter JUdh Smlth, and Learning offr MaGar9 atowHothaust Memorm Day¢emmÈmorthtkn.

The project has emerged in response to a particularl.w challenging social and political context. Ongoing international conflicts, especially iri Ukraine and the Middle East, alongside rising social divisioll, economic insecurity, and the longer-term impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. have contributed to Increased polarisation and a sharp rise in antisemitism across the UK.
At the same time, many marginalised cotnmiinities continue to question whether niuseums, archives, or Holocaust organisations speak to thair own experiences or have relevance within tlieir lives. The Rudi Project seeks to bridge some of these divides by building relationships slowlu and collaboratively, using collections, conversation, creativity, and care to open new pathways into engagement. In many ways, the iiiitiative build5 direGtl&i upon the learning from our earlier Heritage Fund-supported Resilient Organisation project, which helped redefine Holocaust Centre North around a comtllitmentto telliiig global historie5 through local stories and embedding a cultiire of Care across all areas of our work. Through The Rudi Project, communities themselves are helping to shape new approaches to public engagement, collections work. learning, and participation that we hope will have a lasting impact on the organisation and the widèr field. Looking ahead to 2026, we plan to deepen these relatioiisliips f"urtlier through a new cornmunity artist residency within IwlemorialGestures and through collaborative"DIYarchive" projects developed alongside community partners. This vvork will focus particularly on three interconnected areas.. strengthening community cohesion across Kirklees," SLJPPOfting and rebuilding Jewish communal life and interfaith connection in the region", and working in depth with communities that havè direct historical ¢onnections to Nazi persecution. including Roma and LGBTQ+ communities, to co-create archives and share stories of exclusion. resistance, advocacy, and stjrvival. The project Is named in honour of Rudi Leavor, a Holocaust refugee arid longstanding advocate for interfaith and cross-eultural dialogue in West Yorkshire. Rudi dedicated much of his life to preserving Jewish heritage and building understanding between communities. We miss his genèrositu, optimism, and commitment to dialogue.

Strengthening HSFA'S Capacity to Deliver Effectively Staffing 2025 was an important uear of organisational developmeiit and capacity building for Holocaust Centre North. As the seale and complexity of our work continues to grow, we have focused on strengthening our internal structures to support both the day-to-day running of the organisation and our long-term sustainability. A significant development during the year was the creation of a new Head of Fundraising role ',0.8 FTEI. reflecting our commitment to developing a more resilient and SLJStainable financial model for the Charity. We also established a formal Senior Leadership Team ISLT,, bringing together three existing Heads of Department to support tlie Director in the strategic and operational management of the organisation. The introduction of the SLT has strengthened eross-deparl'mental collaboration, supported organisational dècision-making, and helped ensure that the continued grovvth of the Centre is underpinned by strong leadcrship. shared responsibility and a culture of care across the team. -¥ mUC lover and H¢4¢)caust survlvor Conrad L,6 bekwed Hohner button accortlon. one of the ftw beWng8 that he 0¥ght to the UK in1939.

Fundraising Ourfundraising strategy throughout 2025 remained focused on diversifying income streams, deepening relationship5 Wlth existing supporters. and building new partnerships aligned with the values, mission, and long-term vision of Holocaust Centre North. We were grateful to receive support from a broad range of trLJSts, foundations. and public funders during theyear. These includedthe Association of Jewish Refugees, Pears Foundation,
Art FLJnd,ArtsCouncil England, National Lottery Heritage Fund,ClaimsConference, Rothschild Foundation Hanadiv Europe: Ernest Hecht Charitable Trust, Kirklees Council. The National Apchives, Youth United Foundation, Historic England, and ALMA. Their continued support has been vital in enabling us to expand our collections, learning programmes, artistic activity, and commLJnity engagement work. While grant funding remains our pritnaru source of income, 2025 also saw continued investment in growing our network of individual supporters and advocates. Oun Northern Line patron scheme continued to develop steadily and now includes 17 members. During the year we also launched Nexus, a new initiative designed to engage yOLJnger supporters and encourage the next generation of advocates for Holocaust Centre North and its work. Although still in its early,tageS, the initiative has already begLJn building new relationships and expanding awareness of the organisatioii among younger audiences. Looking ahead, we are excited to be developing a major new funding proposal in partnership withthe University of Huddersfieldand Arts Council England. The proposed proje¢twillexplore new approaeliès to teaching about antisemitism through creative arid interdisciplinaru practice, incorporating a significant digital element and drawing on expertise from partners including the University's Centre for Archaeology. Although the prDject remains at an early stage of development, we believe it has the potential to make a significant contribution both regionally and nationally. Alongside trust and foundation fundraising, we will continLJe developing events and activities that combine fundraising with meaningful public engagement. Planned activity for 2026 includes business networking everTrts, film scr'eenings, mLJSiC events in partnership with the Univensitu of HL)ddèrsfield, and a specially curated dinner inspired bu recipes and food histories held within our collections. These events are intended not onlyto generate additional Income. but also to briiig new audiences into contact with the eentre and strengthen OLJr profile across the regiDn Professional Developmént Supporting the wellbeing, confidence, and professional growth of staff remained a key prioritu throughout 2025. As Holocaust Centre North continues to gr'ow, and as the social and poliLical coiitexL" surrounding Holocaust education becomes increasingly complex, we have recognisod the importance of significantly investing in a resilient, knowledgeable, and well-supported team. During the year. staff participated in a broad range of professional development opportunities, Including first aid and mental health first aid training, as well as specialist security training delivered bu the Community Security Trust ICST,, Staff also took part in facilitated workshops designed to support the team in navigating difficult conversatioiis aroundwar,CDnflict.antisemitism,polarisation, andthecontemporaryrelevanceof Holocaust history. Theso sessions created space for reflection. discussion, and shared learning at a particularly challenging time for the sector. collectively.theseopportunities have helped strengthen staff confidence,deepen knowledge and praotical skills. and contribute to a safer and more supportive working environment for both Staff and visitors. They have also reinforced our widen organisational commitment to embedding a culture of care across all areas of our work. Looking ahead, we have developed a structured programme of monthly staff training for 2028 to further strengthen the team's skills, confidence, and profpssional practice. This
programme will combiiie input from external specialists with internal knowledge-sharing across departments. Planned sessions i nclude counter-terror ism awareness training, copyright and intellectual propertytraining, and workshops led by staff on areas of spècialist expertise such as fundraising, oral history practicè, public speaking, Holocaust history, and responding to Holocaust denial. Evaluation We commissioned an external researcher to evaluato two of our new programmes now that they each had completed 3-year5' the Homeward Bound archive project and the Memorial Gestures artist-residencies. The findings have allowed us to ascertain the strengths and weaknesses In these strands of work so we can better plan improved delivery going forward and ensure staff are well-supported. Mental health and wellbeing Throughout 2025, we contlnLJed to develop and strengthèn our work around rnental health and wellbeing across the organisation. This has iTrclLJded ongoing research and reflection on how best to support not only staff, but also artists, researchers. volunteers, freelancers, and contractors working with Holocaust-related and trauma-informed material. As our programm&s and partnerships continue to expand, wo recognise the importance of creating structures of care that are sustainable, practical, and embedded across all areas of organisational life. During the year, we began developin9 a comprehensive mental health and wellbeing policy that considers both organisational responsibilities and individual support needs. The aim is to create a clearer and more consistent framework for wellbeing that supports resilience, encourages open communicat'ion, and helps foster a healthy and supportive working environment over the long term. Our newly introduced staff induction programme now includes dedicated sessions on mental health, wellbeing, and trauma-informed working practices, while all staff are provided with access to a meditation and wellbeing app. Alongside this. Dur Senior Leadership Team has continued to prioritise the development of a genuine CL)Iture of care acrossthe orgallisation.. one in which staff feel supported, listened to, and able to communicate openly about their wellbeing and access needs. This work is increasingly being recognised across Lhe wider heritage, arts, and Holocaust sectors. During 2025. staff were approached by several organisations seeking to learn more about our approaches to embedding care within workplace culture. leadership. and publlc engagemeni praccice. We believe that Qeveloping Lhoughtful and siistainable models of care is becoming an increasingly important part of working responsibly with traLJmatic histories, and we hope that our ongoing learning in this area can contribute positively to wider conversations across the Holocaust education and remernbrance f ield.
