2021 Projects and Review

Financials Overview

Covid-19 impacts

Covid-19 and the associated restrictions meant that some of the activity planned for the first part of the year was unable to go ahead and we continued Andrew Dibben’s exhibition at PRIMEYARC when restrictions allowed.

Activity

1. PRIMEYARC

Yarmouth Springs Eternal

We supported Genevieve Rudd in making an successful application to Arts Council England for a Project Grant for Yarmouth Springs Eternal , enhancing her successful Norfolk & Norwich Festival Creative Individuals Norfolk bid, plus funding from East Anglia Art Fund, Norfolk County Council’s Arts Project Fund and Better Together Norfolk.

The project will deliver a series of walking workshops with various artists, exploring the positive effects of Spring and nature in Great Yarmouth post-pandemic, and presenting an exhibition at PRIMEYARC in Spring 2021 along with a seminar day with the participating

4

artists. (TOTAL Vistitors: 1495)

Magic Acorns - In-Between Spaces

We supported Magic Acorns in making a successful application to Arts Council England for a Project Grants to deliver In-Between Spaces , a project delivering a series of family workshops in PRIMEYARC plus some professional development sessions for young artists working with children.

(TOTAL Families reached: 20)

Artist Studios

Studio member numbers have continued to grow at PRIMEYARC, and by the end of the year there were 14 spaces occupied by 19 artists (some spaces shared or consisting of groups),

Supporting Community Organisations

PRIMEYARC is regularly used by local community groups and organisations including:

Jan van Huysum National Gallery Tour

For 6 days we hosted a painting, Flowers in a Terracotta Vase , by Jan van Huysum. PRIMEYARC was the first stop in a toured including 6 locations around the UK. (TOTAL Visitors: 676 visitors over 6 days)

Postcode Places Trust Funded Programme

Exhibitions funded by the Postcode Places Trust include:

2. OFFSITE

one-twelfth

Project pending due to lack of funds and Covid. Conversations with the owners of Merrivale Model Village are still ‘live’ with ideas being considered for the next phase.

3. PARTNERSHIPS

New Histories

o riginalprojects; is one of 4 partners (along with Focal Point (Southend), Art Exchange (University of Essex), Wysing Arts (Cambridgeshire) delivering an action research project as a development of New Geographies . Funding was achieved by Wysing Arts who are also

5

project managing the programme (as per New Geographies ).

We are working with 6 artists with a range of experiences who work in very different ways: Dolly Sen, Karl Trosclair, Lotte L S, Ligia Macedo, Jason Parr and Mendivan. The intention of the project is to connect with various groups in Great Yarmouth that we haven’t previously had contact with, creating connections and sharing stories that would not otherwise have been heard.

Project cost: £12,675 (£10,000 from ACE, £2,675 own funds and £2,500 in-kind)

YARMONICS YARMONICS 2021 was the 4th presentation.

We applied to Arts Council England for funding to supplement the Ranworth Trust’s support, but were unsuccessful, meaning that our budget was somewhat limited. We still delivered a full programme, and presented work in new venues such as The Empire.

Performances included:

We achieved additional funding of £4,000 from the Great Yarmouth Tourism and Business Improvement Area to enable us to develop an online sound map, enabling people to listen to performances post performance. This has enabled us to promote the work of the artists much more broadly and will remain as an asset to build on in the coming years: https://www.yarmonics.com/news/2021/11/5/yarmonics-sound-map

Finding Emerson Photo Festival

A collaboration with Utter Nonsense (Mark Cator) to develop a biennial photography festival, positioning Great Yarmouth as one of the birthplaces of contemporary photography, based around the work of P H Emerson.

We supported Mark with a successful application to Arts Council England’s Project Grants, which granted approximately £14,000 (plus match funding from the Postcode Places trust) to deliver a day of talks and symposiums, a series of exhibitions (at PRIMEYARC, Yare Gallery, Time and Tide Museum and Skippings Gallery), an open competition (with a display of 70+ entries from the community at PRIMEYARC) an installation of some of Emerson’s works alongside large-scale works submitted to the public competition on the wall by the Pleasure Beach and a series of workshops.

Why Biennials?

Developed from the Norfolk Arts Forum Open Space in 2019, Why Biennial? is a project in development to explore what a Norfolk wide contemporary art Biennial might look like. A consortium of individuals including Daniel Brine (Norfolk and Norwich Festival), veronica Sekules (Groundwork Gallery, Kings Lynn), Henry Jackson-Newcomb, Nell Croose-Myhill, Sarah Lowndes, Jonathan Watts, Julia Devonshire and Kaavous Clayton, presented an online discussion as part of the Norfolk & Norwich Festival to share thinking and engage with the broader arts community.

6

Discussions have developed into thinking about a biennial / festival that would take place along the bus routes that run from Kings Lynn to Norwich and Norwich to Great Yarmouth.

4. CREATIVE EDUCATION

Designing the Real World

Designing the Real World has started to develop ongoing relationships with various groups, including:

● On Track Norfolk (supporting young people aged 16-24 into employment)

● YMCA Great Yarmouth (supporting young people at risk of homelessness) We have developed and delivered a range of sessions, each one with a different focus depending on the group we are working with.

Sessions either respond to a particular subject (responding to an exhibition or local visit or introductory talk) or explore an issue or problem facing the young people that is developed through discussion and debate.

Holiday, Activities and Food programme

Encouraged by Active Norfolk/ Norfolk County Council (NCC) to contribut to the new national initiative Holiday, Activities and Food programme set up to support disadvantaged children during the school holidays we participated in the pilot programme in Summer holidays (8 days) and followed with a more refined offer for Christmas holidays (4 days). Sessions were 4 hours long and included free lunch (our sessions were specifically targeted at kids receiving free school meals). Initially we opened the summer sessions up to 8-16 years (max. 15 persons) but recognised that the age range was too wide and changed it to 8-12 years for the winter sessions. We have learned how to target the non-English speaking families that are on our doorstep by channeling details through well-networked parents. Sessions are led by 2 x artists supported by an assistant. NCC has now secured funding to continue the roll out of HAF for the next 3 years. We will be working with artists to develop our offer.

Sharing expertise and consultancy

We have been invited to share our experience and knowledge with a number of HE and FE institutions. These have mostly been hosted over Zoom. Institutions have included University of Malta, Norwich University of the Arts, Sheffield Hallam University, Access Creative College.

In Spring we shaped an EOI for the Community Renewal Fund with the support of partners and colleagues from University of East Anglia, Eastern Academic Health Science Network. This looked at the possibility of setting up a ‘Communiveristy’ and modelling the use of empty high street spaces for community learning and health. This was never submitted due to criteria and management criteria however the ideas and relationships are still active.

Planning Going Forward

Building a stronger relationship with Great Yarmouth Borough Council (GYBC) With 5 years of Great Yarmouth based activity behind us we are able to evidence the impact, quality, diversity and profile of our work as well as the range of our networks and partnerships. Working with our Trustees we have been preparing these insights to demonstrate our value impact with GYBC Senior Officers and Elected Members so that we might lean on them for better support and advocacy in the future..

Submitting an Ambitious Application to Arts Council England We have spent the latter part of 2021 working with our Trustees to prepare ourselves to develop an application to the Arts

7

Council England’s Investment Programme 2023-2026 to become part of the ACE National Portfolio. The proposal will focus on supporting the organisation to develop operations, programmes and governance. Including paying salaries, developing team capacity, programming and engagement and artists’ development.

Independent Examiner’s Report to the Trustees on the unaudited accounts of originalprojects; for the Year Ended 31 December 2021

We report to the Trustees on our examination of the accounts of the Charity for the year ended 31 December 2021.

Responsibilities and basis of report

As the Charity’s Trustees, you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 (“the Act”). We report in respect of my examination of the accounts carried out under section 145 of the 2011 Act and in carrying out my examination, I have followed all the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act.

Basis of independent examiner’s report

Our examination was carried out in accordance with the general Directions given by the Charity Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the Charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, as well as seeking explanations from you as Trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a ‘true and fair view’ and the report is limited to those matters set out in the next statement. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the Charity and the Charity’s Trustees for my examination work.

Independent examiner’s statement

We have completed our examination. We confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination which gives us cause to believe that in, any material respect:

Act; or • the accounts did not accord with the accounting records; or

We have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 December 2021

1. Accounting Policies

Basis of preparation

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with tthe Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102), the Charities Act 2011, the Companies Act 2006 and UK Generally Accepted Practice as it applies from 1 January 2015. The Charity has applied Update Bulletin 1 as published on 2 February 2016 and does not include a cash flow statement on the grounds that it is applying FRS 102 Section 1A. The financial statements are prepared on a going concern basis under the historical cost convention, modified to include certain items at fair value. The financial statements are presented in sterling which is the functional currency of the Charity and rounded to the nearest pound. The significant accounting policies applied in the preparation of these financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all years presented unless otherwise stated.

Fund accounting policy

General funds are unrestricted funds which are available for use at the discretion of the Trustees in furtherance of the general objectives of the Charity and which have not been designated for other purposes. Designated funds comprise of restricted funds that have been set aside by the Trustees for particular purposes. Restricted funds are funds which are to be used in accordance with specific restrictions imposed by donors or which have been raised by the Charity for particular purposes. The costs of raising and administering such funds are charged against the specific fund.

Income recognition

All incoming resources are included in the Statement of Financial Activities (SoFA) when the Charity is legally entitled to the income after any performance conditions have been met, the amount can be measured reliably and it is probable that the income will be received. For donations to be recognised the Charity will have been notified of the amounts and the settlement date in writing. If there are conditions attached to the donation and this requires a level of performance before entitlement can be obtained then income is deferred until those conditions are fully met or the fulfilment of those conditions is within the control of the Charity and it is probable that they will be fulfilled. The Charity receives government grants in respect of furthering its charitable objectives. Income from government and other grants are recognised at fair value when the Charity has entitlement after any performance conditions have been met, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably.

Expenditure recognition

All expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all costs related to the category. Expenditure is recognised where there is a legal or constructive obligation to make payments to third parties, it is probable that the

13

settlement will be required and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is categorised under the following headings:

above.

Support cost allocation

Support costs are those that assist the work of the Charity but do not directly represent charitable activities and include office costs and governance costs. They are incurred directly in support of expenditure on the objects of the Charity and include project management carried out at Headquarters. Where support costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated to expenditure on charitable activities on a basis consistent with use of the resources. Governance costs are those incurred in connection with the running of the Charity and compliance with constitutional and statutory requirements.

Debtors and creditors receivable / payable within one year

Debtors are recognised when the Charity is legally entitled to the income after any performance conditions have been met, the amount can be measured reliably and it is probable that the income will be received. Creditors are recognised when the Charity has a present legal or constructive obligation resulting from a past event and the settlement is expected to result in an outflow of economic benefits. Going concern The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis as the Trustees believe that no material uncertainties exist. The Trustees have considered the level of funds held and the expected level of income and expenditure for 12 months from authorising these financial statements. The budgeted income and expenditure is sufficient with the level of reserves for the Charity to be able to continue as a going concern.
