OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES
Objectives and aims
The objects of Home Live Art are to advance the education of the public in particular through the promotion, exhibition and facilitation of 'live art' and contemporary performance both nationally and internationally, by means of touring, public performances, broadcasts, exhibitions, workshops and courses and other suitable means.
Home Live Art is an artist-led, queer-led creative organisation based in Hastings on the Southeast coast of England. It is dedicated to developing new sites and audiences for culture by supporting artists to develop their work and building strong local communities through creativity.
Our Vision is for a creative community where everyone can feel at home, and where Live Art is a radical and inclusive way of exploring and understanding the world.
We believe that Live Art is a way of thinking about what art is, what it can do, and where and how it can be experienced. It is a means of connecting people, places and ideas. Live Art breaks the rules about who is making art, how they are making it and who they are making it for.
Our Mission is to electrify and diversify the cultural ecology in the towns of South East England through bold programming and innovative community-led work.
Our Values We are...
Risk taking - in what we do and how we do it, and enable others to do the same Inclusive - actively working to break down hierarchies, within the arts and within society
Resourceful - our practice is collaborative and sustainable, making the most of what we have.
We will...
Listen - we respect the views and experience of others Learn - we all have something to teach each other and we never stop learning Play - we don't take ourselves too seriously and know how to have fun
Our Goals
-
Develop new sites and audiences for live art and experimental performance in Hastings, South East England and beyond.
-
Create the ideal conditions for local, national and international artists to develop and present their work.
-
Support and enable creative opportunities led by and for local residents.
-
Ensure multiple voices are heard, centring those that are often marginalised.
-
Contribute to the creative ecology of where we work, through collaboration with the widest range of partners and through
-
being open to new ideas.
"HLA has become an essential part of my life. Don't go anywhere!" community participant
HLA curates and produces a year-round programme of experimental performance and community-led participatory work with a 24-year record of quality and innovation. Launched in London in 1999, HLA relocated to Hastings in 2018 and embarked on an exciting phase of development. An innovative leadership model pairing artist and producer Katy Baird as Artistic Director with renowned queer collective Duckie as Executive Directors has introduced bold programming and new ways of working with communities.

ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE
Significant activities
Key Projects
INNOVATIVE COMMUNITY-LED WORK
We empower individuals and communities through creating space for their ideas to happen and develop.
Good Stuff in St Leonards
Community-Led Programming and Co-Creation
We firmly believe that a community itself best understands its wants and needs and in November 2018, following a £10K grant from the Creative Civic Change programme, we embarked on a journey to turn this belief into a way of working.
This sparked Good Stuff in St Leonards, a 3-year, £200K co-designed initiative born from extensive conversations with residents. It empowered local people to enact positive community change through creativity, shaping our co-creation model and fundamentally transforming the organisation in the process.
Three of the projects from Good Stuff in St Leonards - Playing the Race Card, Painting the Prom and One Foot in the Groove - exceeded all expectations and will continue as part of this next phase of development.
-
Playing the Race Card, a town-wide conversation on race through a powerful and inspiring exhibition of work by local and national Black artists presented in our shared group space
-
Painting the Prom, a joyous and unique public artwork on the St Leonards promenade made up of 17 murals designed by local artists and residents (aged 5-75)
-
One Foot in the Groove, a weekly dance club of passionate non-professional dancers aged 65+
"As someone who has been born and raised in Hastings in a Black Jamaican family, this was a very positive experience in my hometown!" Playing the Race Card attendee
"Being part of the dance troupe has been such a great experience in many ways. Inhibitions are thrown aside, restrictions on movements due to stiff joints doesn't matter. We do what we can and hope for the best." - One Foot in the Groove dance club member
"This is such a great idea. Those shelters in the sea wall were so grim and soulless before. Lovely to see them full of colour!" Alison Purdy (local resident) 2021.
Queer History Collective
in partnership with Hastings Museum & Art Gallery
The Queer History Collective emerged through public open meetings with the LGBTQIA+ community, leading to the formation of a dedicated group of volunteers committed to collecting, preserving and sharing Hastings' queer history.
Working together with esteemed Queer curators they created a 'Queer History Trail Map' for the Hastings Museum and Art Gallery and now want to work towards a major exhibition in 2026 highlighting lost queer stories and places in Hastings.
SUPPORTING ARTISTS & AUDIENCES TO TAKE RISKS
Always at the core of HLA's work is a commitment to provide a nurturing space for artists to take risks in developing and presenting their work. Our ambition is for HLA to be a trusted feeder and career developer for artists with an offer that creates a freedom to play and try new things, and a supportive and engaged local audience.
Reignite: A new artist development initiative providing funding and support for five artists to work on an element of their practice with fellow creative practitioners. This fund is about supporting collaboration across disciplines and allowing space for artists to try new things out and take risks. The five artists selected were:

Anna Maria Nabirye
-
Homosexual Death Drive
-
Istanbul Queer Art Collective
-
Jake Wood

ORGANISATIONAL DEVELOPMENT
Following four successful years leading Home Live Art, both Katy Baird and Duckie have developed a strong method of working together ensuring that each has a clear identity and understanding of their roles and identities across Home Live Art.
We continue to review and update our organisational policies and procedures, and where appropriate implemented new ones. Our recruitment procedures ensure that all staff, trustees, freelance contractors, volunteers and artists are treated fairly irrespective of their age, race, ethnic or national origin, socio-economic group, gender, sexual orientation, or any disability (visible or not).
The Board recognises that it is the people involved in Home Live Art who make the magic happen and that both staff and volunteers need on-going support and professional development opportunities in order to thrive.
The company also recognises that each staff member has a wealth of experience, wisdom and skills that they have built up through their time at the Home Live Art and that there must be succession plans in place to ensure that the departure of any key staff members does not adversely affect the organisation. We will also continue to seek opportunities to offer further training to existing staff members and volunteers to take more responsibilities and to increase their capacity and skills
ENVIRONMENTAL RESPONSIBILITY
Home Live Art is a small arts organisation, consisting of three part-time staff, each of whom works from their home base to support company business. As a producing organisation with no venue, our work varies from small-scale performance activity to large-scale, site-specific projects often delivered in partnership with other institutions such as local authorities, museums and festivals. Home Live Art recognises that its activity has an environmental impact which cannot be ignored. Our overall aim is to better understand this impact and where possible, make changes to our working practices to limit or reduce this.

Home Live Art Limited Report of the Trustees Continued
For the year ended 31 March 2023
Objectives
Home Live Art will continue to examine ways in which it can alter and amend its existing business practice to help reduce its impact on both the local and national environmental landscape. We will work with our staff, artists, volunteers and venues to achieve this without impacting on our mission to produce exciting theatrical events.
Scope of Policy
Our key commitment is to improve our usage of production materials and infrastructure for our work, including:
-
Working with sustainable and responsible companies
-
Considering transport needs and reducing to and from site travel
-
Improving our site recycling methods and avoiding waste
-
Greening our events and activities where possible
-
Supporting artists whose work tackles environmental and sustainability issues
-
Working with local companies and suppliers
-
Using our events to inform and educate
-
Reducing printed material and single use plastic wherever possible
-
Promoting public transport and alternative communication alternatives
Implementation
This policy is supported by an Environmental Action Plan including implementation targets and dates, and we will work with our board, staff, venues and audience to promote environmental awareness and encourage each of them to work in an environmentally responsible manner wherever possible.
FINANCIAL REVIEW
Significant events
Arts Council England Funding
Home Live Art successfully secured funding as a National Portfolio Organisation (NPO) of Arts Council England (ACE) for the period 2023-2026. Our annual grant of £75,435 contributes towards both the core running costs of the organisation together with our artistic output across the year.
Funding
Whilst we are continually looking to diversify our income streams, funding generally has become more difficult as a sector to obtain over the last 12 months. These factors include the cost-of-living crisis (last year inflation peaked at its highest point in 40 years), the continuing war in the Ukraine and the reduction of local government budgets, through which many arts companies have been supported across the years.
We are presently in conversation with Esmee Fairbairn, The National Lottery, as well as a host of smaller more local charities to ensure that HLA can continue with the brilliant work it has developed in Hastings and the south-east over the last few years.
We will continue to approach a wide range of funders in our pursuit of further income diversification and will explore a more coherent strategy of sponsorship and donations across the next 3-year period.

Home Live Art Limited Report of the Trustees Continued For the year ended 31 March 2023
Reserves
Total income in this year amounted to £206,773 (2020/21: £316,169) a reduction of 35% on the previous year. Resources expended in 2022/23 were £224,563 (2020/21: £161,072).
We have many strategic, third sector partners who are invested in our activity because of our long-term impact with their communities and our fundraising strategy is updated continually to identify different income sources for all activities.
Our organisational reserves policy is to hold a minimum of 8 weeks free reserves (or 15.39%) of the previous year's annual turnover which in the YE 31/3/23 was £206,773 giving a target of £31,812.
In addition, we have the following unrestricted designated reserves:
£75,000 to support HLAs 25 anniversary Knotty Festival in 2024
£15,000 to support Salty productions in 2024
£15,000 to support artistic ambition and to manage risk
£10,000 to support updating the organisations web site
As at 31/3/2023 free reserves amounted to £79,900
Total reserves at year-end stand at £254,647 (2020/21 £272,437) of which £27,300 are classed as restricted and £146,812 classed as designated.
To achieve artistic excellence and take artistic risks with a sustainable financial system, the Trustees have agreed to assign a minimum 5% contingency to each project. This is to be matched with a 5% contingency against core costs to protect against unexpected eventualities.
FUTURE PLANS - April 2024 and beyond.
Confirmed Projects and Events
Playing the Race Card:
Driven by local resident Claudine Eccleston in response to her own experiences of racism, PTRC aims to continue to foster a town-wide dialogue on race through creativity.

STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT
Governing document
Recruitment and Appointment of Trustees
The Trustees are also the directors of Home Live Art for the purpose of company law. Home Live Art articles of association require a minimum of three Trustees. There is no maximum number of Trustees. A third of the directors are subject to re-election at the Annual General Meeting, with no maximum length of service. Only the current directors can appoint new directors.
Board Development
-
New members have settled in and have been a great addition to the HLA family
-
A Board audit has taken place and will be collated and reviewed before the next recruitment begins
-
A Diversity and Inclusion Board Sub-group has been set up to specifically look at diversity and inclusion in relation to the work of Home Live Art.
-
We will continue to review and recruit new Trustees and work to ensure that we have sufficient expertise as required
-
All new Trustees are brought fully up to date with the company and its work and provided with essential documents including the latest Board minutes, management accounts and artistic review. They are also directed to the Charity Commission website which contains detailed information on Trustee role and Board.
Organisational structure
-
The Trustees are responsible for the overall financial control, direction and work of the Charity.
-
They meet at least four times a year with the principal staff who have no voting rights.
-
Day-to-day responsibilities are delegated to the principal staff within a framework of approved policies and operational plans, who manage all other staff employed by the Charity.
Risk Management
The current environment for small organisations with strong commitments to innovation and risk remains challenging.
The Trustees have considered the major risks that the charity faces and have systems in place to mitigate those risks. Some of the biggest risks identified by the charity are:
-
Inflation: Core budgets include 5% inflation year on year where no long-term fixed contract exists. Inflation remains historically high at present. We will continue to monitor inflation rates on a monthly basis, more often if deemed necessary and address unbudgeted increases through cost-cutting measures as required
-
COVID19: Continues to affect audience numbers. We have modelled, tried and tested various safe socially distanced and online scenarios to prepare staff and volunteers to adapt quickly and safely. We have taken measures to maintain audience loyalty and confidence. We are producing an extensive fundraising strategy to diversify our income streams and leverage even further our charitable status.
-
Expansion Capacity: our ability to deliver at the rate we have is directly related to our ability to win funding to support our staff and team and we are constantly monitoring our income pipeline and fundraising goals.
-
Staff Absence: mitigated by careful HR planning to respond to absence effectively.
-
Project Overspend: project budgets are monitored weekly against actual spend and analysis of quarterly management accounts and cash flow forecasts.
We have many strategic, third sector partners who are invested in our activity because of our long-term impact with their communities and our fundraising strategy is updated continually to identify different income sources for all activities.
A company-wide Risk Register is in place, and is updated and reviewed at all board meetings. Where risks are identified between board meetings, trustees will be informed and ad-hoc meetings arranged to assess the risks and appropriate action plans.
