Power of Women Thanet ha5 had another strong year of growth and impact, focussing on refining
and professionalislng the organlsation while furtherlng its alms to improve gender equality In
Thanet through feminist-based arts and creativlty. This report outllnes the core activities and
learnin8S that have enabled POW to create cornmunity impact as a small charity rooted In the
Thanet region.
In terms of professionalising the organisation, this year established key partnerships and
relationships to grow its network. We fostered existing partnerships with East Kent Colleges
Group, Turner Contemporary, ARK, Pie Factory Music, Kent Coast Volunteering and Beyond The
Page and forged new partnerships with Porchlight, Oasis, Changing Minds Kent, Manspace,
Espressions CIC, Age UK Thanet, Goldsmiths University, Women in Business Network (where we
are the Thanet charity partner) and the Radical Rest Network. The CEO was accepted into
National Arts Strategies Creative Community Fellows programme and the Youth Producer
undertook Feminist Leadership training with Women Resource Centre.
POW also enriched Its future planning, whereby the CEO and Board of Trustees revised the
Strategy which will inform POW'S work over the next three years, helping us work toward
attaining ACE NPO statu5 in 2027. The focus is on Programming, Profile and People whlch
influence commissioning, co-creation and content outputs.
As the centre of POW'S programming, this yearfs Festival focussed on the concept of "rest" as a
tool to explore domestic labour, mental health and creativity. POW hosted a range of events
from paid musical performances to free creative workshops. the main festival events were

attended by 12,601 people. Hi8hllghts include an exhibltion and events with Profanity
Embroidery Group at Albion House Hotel; a Motherfs Day event at Powell-cotton Museum;
comedy variety show at the Sarah Thorne Theatre and a music gig with Meg Bird and
Mantawoman at St. Luke's Church, Ramsgate. The Festival closed with our Digital Day which
included Tracey Emin in conversation and generated over 100 viewers.

The return of POW in the Park at Ellington Park provided a big community highlight despite the
inclement weather. It included a makers market from local traders, a bandstand programme of
hula hooping classes, spoken word performances from local students, community choirs, dance
troupes and musical showcases from local creatives. There were tents for arts activities, walking
tours and complimentary massages. In addition to the main festival programme, there was also
the POW Art Trail with 30 local venues, curated by local gallery owner Kavel Rafferty. This wa5 an
evolution of the Fringe Festival and worked well but needs more resources to really grow as the
Access Day of interventions for disabled and chronically ill audiences wasn't as impactful as we
had hoped. We are now developing an Inclusive Design Framework to influence all of our
project/event planning and ensure that accessibility for our target audiences is prioritised and
resourced adequately.
Pre-Festival engagement projects included the return of the "Inspiring Women" project with 4
local primary schools who explored gender equality through in-school collage workshops. We
also created a DIY take-home activity to reach more pupils.
'Born to Dream" was a successful co-creation project with 5 local community projects led by local
neurodivergent artist Becky Vincer who explored the themes of rest and dreaming and taught
participants sublimation printing techniques to create their own meditation cushions.
Participants were then invited to a celebration event on IWD with meditation and sound bath.
We expanded this project to include three free workshops for the public where they could make
their own eye mask.
We delivered Year l of the three-year Colyer-Fergusson funded Youth Project in partnership with
Broadstairs College. "Young Producers" was very successful with three young people mentored
weekly for seven months to create a podcast in partnership with Ramsgate Radio which was then
scheduled into the Digital Day. Two went on to find paid employment in the arts and we are
introducing YP alumni to other creative professionals to support them in gaining employment.
"Young Creatives" involved industry-led workshops for forty 18-24 year olds and culminated in

the "POW of Gen Z" public event wlth the music and art outputs from the in-college creative
professlonal-led workshops. The free food and drink attracted a large audience and the event
was a success.
We would like to take the opportunity to thank everyone who has SUPPOrted POW throughout
the year; the tireless and talented staff, the dedicated volunteers. the artists and creators who
have worked with us, those who have attended, hosted and planned festival events, as well as
those who have attended other POW projects and pro8ramme.
Next year we are focused on delivering year-round programmlng in celebration of our 10th
anniversary; raising our profile nationally; generating multi-year grants to move POW into an
advocacy and convening role. and developing consistent income streams. We feel that 2023-
2024 has been a critical growth year for POW, and we're excited to build on this progress in the
year to come.

new areas which could open up more funding opportunities e.g. national curriculum and
