**Summary of the main** The year began with the spread of the Omicron variant of Covid 19 but by the **achievements** close of 2022 very few of the restrictions imposed to contain the pandemic **of the charity** remained in force. The energy of the Board was primarily focused on enhancing **during the** OCH’s organisational resilience and sustainability, submitting three iterations of **year** OCH’s application to Heritage Fund and relaunching OCH’s events and activities post-Covid. Four trustees resigned from the Board for personal reasons in 2023 but three of them still maintained a high level of commitment to the work of OCH: Muriel Anderson as a member of the Convention Committee, Eoghan Mortell as a member of the Festival Committee and both Eoghan and Nicky Vignoli as key Newport Rising Festival volunteers. The Board is grateful for the significant contribution made by each of these trustees, particularly during the pandemic. One new trustee (Matthew Hexter), with a range of skills required by the Board, was warmly welcomed in September 2022 and in early 2023 accepted the role of Digital Trustee, with responsibility for leading on development of a digital strategy for OCH.
The Trustees also owe a debt of gratitude for the invaluable services provided _pro bono_ by David Daniel throughout 2022. Through him, sufficient funds were raised for a modest Newport Rising Festival, which brought the Torchlit March back to the streets of Newport, but which included no income to cover the role of Festival Director which David fulfilled with his customary professionalism.
As usual OCH’s planned activities in pursuit of its charitable purpose were presented as a Workplan for the year. For ease of reference the structure of this report follows the structure of the OCH Workplan 2022.

Section D Achievements and erformance p
Aim 1 **Objective 1a was achieved in full.**
OCH had successfully applied to participate in WCVA’a Catalyst Wales Broadening Horizons Programme and was allocated coaching support from consultant Bev Garside, who proved an excellent match. Bev conducted one-toone interviews with trustees and produced a skills audit and gap analysis report to inform recruitment of new trustees. A Trustee Handbook, including trustee role descriptors, was developed and piloted; it was approved in its final form on 4 April 2023. One new trustee with a range of skills required by the Board was recruited in September 2022 and in early 2023 accepted the role of Digital Trustee, with responsibility for leading on development of a digital strategy for OCH.
## **Objective 1b was achieved in full**
OCH’s suite of policies and guidance including the recently approved Conflicts of Interest Policy and Disclosure Form, Volunteering Policy, Environment Policy, Data Protection Policy and Welsh Language Translation Policy, was reviewed and approved at the AGM in May 2022.
## **Objective 1c has been rolled forward to 2023-5**
A Volunteering Policy was approved at the AGM in May 2022 but OCH lacked the capacity to put in place other components of a policy and organisational framework for its volunteer workforce. This objective featured in all OCH’s unsuccessful applications to Heritage Fund and Volunteering Wales and appears as one of the approved purposes of our successful application for NM-22-00860: The Chartist Workshop and therefore as an objective in OCH’s Workplan 2023.
## **Objective 1d was not taken forward**
Ffion Davies and Haf Neale from St Fagans and Nicola Nicholls from WCVA provided helpful advice to OCH about registering for Investing in Volunteers which informed our submissions to Heritage Fund in April 2020 and April 2022. However, in light of advice we subsequently received from Heritage Fund to consider a smaller, more focused project, OCH decided in August 2022 that this was not the right time for OCH to enter into this major undertaking.
## **Objective 1e has been rolled forward**
The development of a three-year rolling Strategic Business Plan was identified as a priority in the organisational health-check provided as part of the Catalyst Cymru Broadening Horizons Programme. Unfortunately, it was not possible to allocate sufficient consultancy hours to cover this in addition to the governance review. This objective appears as one of the approved purposes of our successful

application for NM-22-00860: The Chartist Workshop and therefore as an objective in OCH’s Workplan 2023.
## **Objective 1f has been rolled forward**
Some progress was made on this objective. The Chair and David Daniel both attended an helpful online course on preparing a Fundraising Strategy, delivered by the CEO of Arts and Business Cymru (A&BC)as part of the Prosper Programme. In addition OCH was provided with online coaching by a specialist consultant to assist with writing a case for support and drafting the strategy. For a variety of reasons this was problematic and undermined rather than fostered confidence. A&BC is keen to remedy this poor experience by supplying more appropriate support. This objective appears as one of the approved purposes of our successful application for NM-22-00860 and therefore as an objective in OCH’s Workplan 2023.

## **Aim 2**
## **Objective 2a (Schools Chartist Event) was achieved in a modified form**
Members of the Education Committee advised the Board that the pressures schools were experiencing because of Covid 19 made it unlikely that they would have the capacity to coordinate a major multi-school event in Autumn 2022. OCH decided instead to focus on an Open House at the Westgate Hotel in November, at which pre-booked classes of schoolchildren would be able to participate in a
**TAR**

Section D Achievements and erformance p
Chartist-themed workshop, quiz historians about the Westgate Hotel bullet-holes and receive a freshly stamped Chartist coin from Charles Ferris. The event was booked to capacity and greatly appreciated by staff and pupils alike. The workshop has the potential to be developed into a full-scale school event.
## **Objective 2b (Chartist Convention 2022) was achieved in full**
The Annual Chartist Convention took place in person at Newport Cathedral once again, this time without social distancing. Pre-bookings were slow but attendance was comparable with 2021, with around 80 paying delegates plus invited VIPs and significant numbers of volunteers and stallholders. The two sessions were expertly chaired by Jayne Bryant MS and Dr Elin Jones, Vice Chair of the Board of Trustees. Talks were generally of the usual very high standard, the highlight of the day being a joint presentation by Ray Stroud and Olly Blackmore about new historical and ballistic research into the Westgate Hotel bullet holes. However, the Convention Committee agreed that for several reasons, including promotion and publicity and quality control, presenters would be asked to submit an abstract of their talk well in advance of the event. The day ended with a performance of Tim’ Riley’s choral work _Treason,_ sung by Insole Court Community Choir and conducted by the composer, which was very well received.
## **Objective 2c (Chartist Commemoration) was achieved in full**
The Chartist Commemoration ceremony took place at 1600 on Friday 4 November 2022 around the Chartist Memorial Stone outside Newport Cathedral. On this occasion it was followed soon after by the Torchlit March from Belle Vue Park to the Westgate Hotel. The About 75 people turned up for the event, which in recent years has attracted just over half that number. Many of the new attendees were unfamiliar faces to regular attendees, who made people welcome by offering them roses to lay on the stone and a small, printed card explaining the history of the flower-laying tradition. A pre-recorded virtual version of the ceremony was streamed simultaneously and accessed by 84 people on YouTube.
## **Objective 2d (Newport Rising Festival) was achieved in full**
Thanks to Mutual Gain and Newport NOW BID, it was possible to relaunch the Torchlit March after an enforced two-year absence. Pre-booking and prepurchase of torches were painfully slow but for the first time the weather on the night was perfect and a diverse crowd of approximately 450 turned out. Our new event management team Arena Events ran a smooth operation, Insole Community Choir and Adrian Bevan inspired the marchers from the Bandstand and both Barracwda and Wonderbrass accompanied the March to the Westgate where Ellis Sleight led the crowd singing _Yma O Hyd._ The lighting and replacing of torches was much better managed than in previous years but could still requires improved co-ordination. An evening of live music inside the Westgate Hotel began with a presentation to Honorary Life President, Pat Drewett, and a short set from Kevin Brennan MP, which included his new Chartist song, _Believe._
Other festival events, such as the screening of _Made in Dagenham_ and _Creative Conversations: Discussions on Democracy_ (both hosted by Riverfront Theatre) together with some live music events, were much appreciated by attendees but less well attended than we hoped. The _Guided Walk to the Chartist Cave_ was cancelled because of bad weather, though half a dozen people turned up

regardless and enjoyed a coffee together at Top House, Trefil. However, two thought-provoking events (the launch of Peter Strong’s book _The Bristol Connection_ and a panel discussion, book launch and film screening entitled _Spy Cops, Collateral Damage and Solidarity_ ) were well attended and made a significant contribution to Newport Rising as a festival of ideas, both historical and contemporary.
**Objective 2e (Senedd Celebration of Democracy) was not achieved**
Both Jayne Bryant and OCH were ready to reinstate this event in 2022 but it proved impossible because Pierhead House was not yet available for booking post-Covid 19. **Objective 2f (Triumphal Return of John Frost) was not achieved**
OCH had neither the capacity not the financial resources to launch this major new event in 2022 without significant fundraising success. Following advice received from Heritage Fund in August 2022 suggesting we reduce our ask and consider a smaller, more focused project, OCH decided to shelve this idea for the foreseeable future.
## **Objective 2g (UN International Days) was not taken forward**
One of the most helpful insights we gained from participating in the Prosper Programme was the importance of focusing on what you really want to do before you start identifying potential sources of funding, rather than letting the priorities of grant makers shape your programme of activity. In September 2022, a radical revision of the project we had unsuccessfully submitted to Heritage Fund in April 2022 led OCH to set aside the programme of activities organised around UN International Days and focus better on our USPs.

discussion sessions in partnership with Cardiff JOMEC. David Daniel worked with Maria Kyriakidou (JOMEC) to capture broad perspectives on news, media and social media from under-represented groups that included members of the Polish community in Wales, Ukrainian refugee groups, older generation Welsh residents and young adults with additional learning needs. These roundtable discussions fed into Maria's research, provided valuable insights for future media intervention design and, at times, a platform for community concerns to be voiced and a medium for mutual support. Some of the sessions were captured by BBC reporters and presented during BBC Wales Live evening show in November 2022. The project also facilitated improved ties with Community Arts Base and Women of Newport groups. Further collaborative works between OCH Cardiff JOMEC are in discussion and likely to present additional opportunities in 2023

## **Objectives 4a and 4b have been rolled forward**
Covid delayed and complicated the completion of certain components of Newport Chartist Trails. For example, at some points county boundaries could not be crossed to install wall plaques, at others ownership of sites changed and permission had to be sought anew. It was also the case that OCH lacked the capacity in 2022 to recruit and train a cohort of Chartist Trail Leaders or to establish Watchdogs for Democracy, a dog-walking group with responsibility for

monitoring the upkeep of the Chartist Trails. Feedback provided in December 2022 on the second of our unsuccessful applications suggested we should firm up our training offer for volunteers and, if possible, introduce an accredited training programme. Shortly afterwards OCH entered into discussions with Wales Official Tourist Guide Association (WOTGA) who will be assisting us to establish an accredited Community Guiding course for our volunteers. Both this development and Watchdogs for Democracy appear as approved purposes of our successful application for NM-22-00860: The Chartist Workshop and therefore as objectives in OCH’s Workplan 2023.

Two out of Newport’s ten secondary schools booked sessions: St Joseph’s Roman Catholic High School and Ysgol Gyfun Gwent Is Coed. We had worked with both these schools previously and were delighted they had returned

for more. The remaining places were snapped up by primary schools enabling us to reach a total of 483 young people, despite the fact that three sessions involving 90 participants were cancelled at the last minute. The workshops were very well received; Heather Vaughan, Head of St Woolos Primary School and OCH Trustee, reported that the innovative learning and teaching strategies employed by Rhys DW Jones and David Daniel were inspiring staff as well as children.
## **Objective 5b (Tourism value of Chartism) has been rolled forward**
The successful application submitted to Heritage Fund in January 2023, will enable OCH to establish The Chartist Workshop in Newport City Centre. It will act as focal point for residents and tourists to find out about Newport’s Chartist history and its contemporary significance, as well as providing an information exchange for Newport Rising Festival and other events and activities on Newport’s heritage and cultural scene. The site will provide a point of departure and return for residents and tourists who wish to walk Newport’s Chartist Trails, an outlet for OCH merchandise, a place of welcome for refugees and asylum seekers and a hub where OCH volunteers can meet and work. The Project Director will work closely with groups and communities currently under-represented in heritage and our democratic system to develop an inclusive and empowering resource centre for active citizenship at The Chartist Workshop.
## **Objective 5c (Online events) limited progress has been made**
Since the start of the pandemic, OCH has held all its regular quarterly meetings of the Board of Trustees and meetings of the Festival Committee via Zoom and has streamed a virtual Chartist Commemoration Ceremony either to replace an inperson event (in 2020) or alongside one (2021 and 2022). In 2022, the _Spy Cops, Collateral Damage and Solidarity_ event demonstrated the potential for flexibility and inclusion a hybrid model presents; one of the key presenters participated via Zoom along with several members of the audience. in 2023 we will have the capacity to exploit the full potential of this and other successful virtual/hybrid events held in the last few years, such as joint hybrid presentations with Newport and Gwent Literary Club or virtual film screenings.

OCH submitted applications to Heritage Fund in April 2022, October 2022 and January 2023. All three of these applications was recommended for award but the first two were ultimately unsuccessful. OCH radically revised and refined its submissions to Heritage Fund throughout 2022, honing the project in light of feedback from Heritage Fund Officers and external consultants from Catalyst Wales Broadening Horizons and A&BC’s Prosper Programme, who were working with us on governance review and developing a fundraising strategy. The final submission was successful; the grant awarded will provide OCH with the capacity, capability and financial resources to regain lost momentum and secure a resilient, sustainable future for the organisation.
## **Objective 6b (Advocacy for Westgate Hotel) measurable progress has been made**
OCH is part of a network of organisations and individuals who are participating in sensitive, exploratory conversations about the future of the Westgate Hotel. We have submitted an Expression of Interest to the Community Ownership Fund in relation to the Westgate and have been informed that we have been deemed to have a ‘high chance of being eligible’ for the fund.

Activity tends to be focused on England where 16-17-year-olds are ineligible to vote in both UK and local elections unlike young people in Wales and Scotland who can vote in both local and Senedd/Scottish Parliament elections. Northern Ireland permits young people to pre-register to vote from the age of 16 but does not permit them to vote until they reach the age of 18. The Chartist Workshop’s role as a support centre for active citizenship will strengthen OCH’s ability to pursue this objective more actively.
