This year, we focused on deepening our work and building connections.

Our priority was to scale up support to young people and others facing disadvantage or exclusion in Sussex, particularly in the Lewes district. We have been developing work in Lewes for some time, building creative and participatory ways to harness local momentum. This year we started delivering it!

Funding from Lewes District Council supported a series of workshops with young residents. Then a family event led by Culture Shift helped us launch and celebrate the young people’s success. A resident-led working group gained momentum and we are excited to see what else we will achieve together next year.

We delivered powerful activities for young people in care. And our first fully youth-led mural.

We continued supporting public events and delivering sessions to people who don't get the opportunities to be involved in visual arts or culture.

�� made sure we supported our communities, using street art and inclusive arts methodologies to support wellbeing, confidence and help people find their voice.

During this period, we received an award from Postcode Society Trust, a grant-giving charity funded entirely by players of People’s Postcode Lottery. This has enabled us to deliver and extend our activities and will carry forward into our next financial year. This has been our largest grant to date and has meant we have been able to resource truly youth-led and community-led work without having to worry about funding. It's enabled us to say "Yes, we can!" when projects have come along.

Recently, we have been transitioning from supporting other organisations to offer quality arts provision to hosting more of our own. This has included local authorities. We will continue meaningful joint work with partners and commissioned community-led public art alongside our own delivery.

We've increased our team numbers during this last period to help more people and improve our capacity to deliver so many exciting projects. This year we will continue to support and develop our practitioners. This should enable us to deliver multiple interventions at the same time, which can be hard for a small charity.

We want to convert new audiences and partners to the beauty of street art!
