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.

We supported a group of young people to create a memorial mural to their friend in Lewes Skatepark at Malling Fields. Eddie's friends chose the picture of him, spent late evenings cutting the stencils with our team, and painted the mural. We funded the time and materials to complete and protect the mural before a memorial Skate Jam event for his family and community.
-
An amazing celebratory 'Every Sort of People CAN' community event was organised by Culture Shift at a Human Nature venue. Young people who had taken part in our sessions at Landport Youth Club in Lewes and The Joff Youth Hub in Peacehaven exhibited their work, alongside performances by young musicians and creative workshops by local organisations. We held 4 spray-painting outreach workshops for young people at this day. The youth service workshops were part-funded by Lewes District Council and supported by East Sussex County Council youth workers.

We have supported an emerging resident-led community partnership group in Lewes interested in street art. We have shared our expertise and delivered our projects in the area. We are excited to keep working locally and bringing street art to diverse people.

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.
