Educational Dance Provision Services T/A MovementWorks Registered Charity No. 1176176 Page | 1 ## **Executive Summary** EDPS – CIO trading as MovementWorks – was established in 2017 to provide high-quality movement education experiences in deprived areas of London to children, young people, vulnerable adults, their carers and educators. We aim to make movement-based learning more accessible to all, with a focus on those with financial hardship, physical disabilities and learning difficulties such as autism, and other marginalised groups including black and ethnically diverse communities. Our programmes since our creation have transformed the lives of thousands by boosting physical wellbeing and mental health, improving communication skills and self-confidence and reducing the feeling of social isolation and lack of community. They are also designed to form a strong base for the National Curriculum by complementing learning in the core subjects of literacy and maths for primary school students. Our work is delivered by specially trained, freelance professional artists at mainstream and special educational schools, Early Years settings, children centres, community groups that support vulnerable adults and community leisure facilities. Since our inception we have established protocols and policies and updated them for GDPR, Complaints, Privacy Policy, Safeguarding and Child Protection Policy, Equal Opportunities Policy, Health and Safety Policy, Behaviour Support Policy/Volunteer Policy, Risk Assessment, Monitoring Progress and Social Impact. All the Trustees have been inducted and have observed a variety of the sessions on offer to our beneficiaries. During the pandemic the charity was delivering services both online and in person, depending on the requirement of the settings we worked with. Due to the vulnerable nature of many of our beneficiaries, in 2022 some of our services were still operating as hybrid. In addition, we continued filming permanent digital content for our online legacy project ‘MovementWorks On Demand’ Library. Our Children in Need Year 3 award allowed us to extend the reach of the project to Dysart Special School in LBO Kingston for five more groups of children with severe and complex learning disabilities and for three more groups at Carters Sunflowers Nursery, a specialist provision for autistic children with social and communication needs. Our grants from The Cheshire Community Foundation and The William Brake Foundation supported new projects with the London Early Years Foundation community nurseries and nurseries and schools in LBO Lewisham, all to support young children whose development and learning was most severely affected by the school closures. For example: The grant allowed us the vital opportunity to work with a focus group at Myatt Garden School for children who were already struggling prior to the pandemic due to additional learning needs. Educational Dance Provision Services T/A MovementWorks Registered Charity No. 1176176 Page | 1 Myatt Garden is a community school situated between Deptford and New Cross in a densely populated inner city area. Children come from many different countries and speak more than 25 languages. Staff reported children developed greater focus and were able to follow instructions more effectively. _“Many children in the group came ‘out of their shells’ as a consequence of the MovementWorks project. They became more confident in their bodies and were able to move with greater fluidity. Especially children with Special Educational Needs with gross and fine motor issues, it was positive to have something specific to their needs. For example, Child H who had difficulties with movement skills showed improvement not only in their physical skills but in their sense of achievement which had a positive impact on the quality of their relationships in school with teachers and peers.”_ Myatt Garden Early Years Co-ordinator **----- Start of picture text -----**

The grant also supported extension of a project (started the previous year) with Spa Camberwell autism specialist school. All the children have learning difficulties/intellectual disability and the majority are non-verbal or have very limited language _“The sessions allowed them to interact through body movements and facial expressions. Students were enabled to communicate through song and dance which resulted in developing spontaneous speech. The dance sessions supported the students to generalise the skills learned in other contexts such as the classroom and the playground…Child K demonstrated significant improvement in all areas of development as a result of the MovementWorks sessions. They struggled with gross motor skills and the dance sessions have supported them to feel more confident in using their arms and legs in more challenging activities. The programme supports their happiness and independence. They have increased their awareness of peers engaging with them spontaneously by showing them a dance move to copy. They also enjoy showing dance moves to adults and want them to applaud when finished - they are very proud of themselves."_ Spa School teacher feedback.

In 2022 we received the following grants:- £9,856 from The National Lottery to continue our project with the London Early Years Foundation; £5,000 from Bailey Thomas to continue our project with Spa Camberwell; £4,000 from the William Brake Foundation to continue community specific projects. In addition, we were also awarded £5,000 core funding from the Foyle Foundation. Since the vast majority of our awards have been funds restricted for specific projects this award was significant in our development and growth as a charity to help sustain our increasing operational costs. ## **Other activities of note during the year.** In April 2022 we completed another Autism Movement Therapy Level II Training Workshop. We continued to contribute to and extend our provision for a Summer Activities Programme for children with autism and their siblings and families in LBO Wandsworth and Croydon. In addition, with travel restrictions lifted we were able to reconsider some international commissions and took up an invitation to help launch similar for a new initiative called ‘PossAbilties’, the first programme for young children in Gibraltar with Special Educational Needs. Gibraltar has a disproportionately high level of children with additional needs. Our visit included some staff training to support them in offering high quality provision. Educational Dance Provision Services T/A MovementWorks Registered Charity No. 1176176 Page | 1 In 2022 we were delighted to be featured in Autism Eye Magazine “Winning Arts and Minds” (Ref Issue 47 P.26). We ended the year with a dance contribution from some of our older beneficiaries from South West London. SHARE based in Wandsworth, is a centre for learning and wellbeing for adults with learning disabilities, autism, physical disabilities, mental health and other support needs. Our students performed as part of their formal Annual Awards event. _“THANK YOU for the performance at our Awards Day. It was one of the highlights of the event and we had lots of glowing feedback. Families were so impressed with how many of our students got upon the stage to join in. We all thoroughly enjoyed it!”_ Share Administrator Feedback Educational Dance Provision Services T/A MovementWorks Registered Charity No. 1176176 Page | 1 ## **Financial Review** ## **Statement of the Charity's Policy on Reserves** The charity has a 3 month reserve policy ## **Details of Any Funds Materially in Deficit** The Trustees declare that the charity had no funds which were materially in deficit at the date of the statement of assets & liabilities. ## **State of the Charity’s Finances** The total funds in the bank account as of 31st December 2022: £98,021.26 ## **Restricted Funds** £85,831.61 ## **Designated Funds** £12,189.65 ## **Particulars of Any Outstanding Guarantee Given by the Charity** The Trustees declare that the charity has given no guarantee where potential liability is outstanding at the date of the statement of assets & liabilities. ## **Particulars of Any Outstanding Debt** The Trustees declare that the charity has no outstanding debts which are secured by an express charge on any of the assets of the charity at the date of the statement of assets & liabilities. ## **Declaration** The Trustees declare that they have approved the above report and authorised that it be signed on their behalf.
