delivered an interactive session on his
style of drawing, for people to try out
themselves, and there was an outdoor
session exploring feelings. These
activities enabled people who were
suffering from Social Isolation to
safely gather and take part in creative
activities. We continued delivering
sessions stretching into September,
using funds from the Birmingham &
Solihull Mental Health Foundation
Trust.
National Lottery (covid award)
In July 2020 we applied for a grant
from the National Lottery fund, which
aimed to support our beneficiaries
who were suffering from social
isolation and loneliness. We were
successful and the fund of almost
£10,000 landed in our bank on
October 2 [nd] 2020 but had to be spent
by April 1st 2021. We delivered a host
of online activities and set up a You
Tube Channel where activities can be
seen (the channel is called Arts All
Over The Place and can be accessed
on line) We also filmed various
members reading poetry etc. As it
was not possible to run our usual
exhibition that year, work was
exhibited on line. We delivered over
100 face to face sessions: Mindful
walks in parks with a qualified
Psychotherapist; Mindful art sessions
and drama sessions were delivered in
various community venues, three a
week and we provided hot drinks.
Again, Government guidelines for
therapeutic groups of up to 15 were
frequently checked and carefully
followed. Hands, Face and Space were
observed. We had to limit the
sessions to those who booked as we
frequently got full sessions.
We applied for a regular Lottery Grant
in early 2021, expecting it to take
longer for a decision, but we heard in
March that it was successful and the
funds arrived in March 2021, which
unexpectedly pushed us over the
£25.000 income threshold, as it was
almost the end of our financial year.

Hoarding Project £3000
In February 2020 we were approached
to do some work with people who had
an issue with hoarding. The company,
Cloud’s End was commissioned to
work with people referred to them by
Birmingham City Council, We planned
a project around Drama, tackling
issues such as letting go, and some
art using recycled material and
selecting precious objects and making
for example collages from selected
photos etc. Unfortunately, this work
was put on hold due to Covid. As part
of the You Tube filming, a member
called Brendan Higgins was filmed
speaking his poem on Hoarding, and
this was sent to Cloud’s End, and the
project was reinstated, commencing
In February 2021, with a first payment
of £3000 arriving in our bank in
February 2021, and we started
delivering the art for this project,
which continues with more funding
into the following financial year.
BCH work done in 2020 Feb /March
In February 2020 we started work on
a project for Birmingham Children’s
Hospital (BCH), delivering off site
sessions to young people.
Unfortunately, the sessions were
stopped in March 2020 due to Covid,
however we did not get paid until May
2020, which means that money shows
up in the following financial year
