Achievements and erformance During the year ended 31"August 2023. Joy has embarked on the Lifetime Stories Projett. Lifetime Stories is a programme designed to connect younger people to the older generation through storytellin& active listenin8 and intergenerational activities. Beginning with a true storytelling workshop and moving through artive listening and reminiscing techniques, story-mappin& interview design,. the projett seeks to develop the employability and life skills of younger people. This is achieved through a deepening of young people's connection to their own family hlstories. Each child will participate in two days (4hours) of storytelling workshops. Every student then becomes a 'story explorerf setting out on a 'stOry-discovering' voyage through thelr chosen person's life through sharing photos, videos, meaningful objects and songs. This creates a closer connection to someone from an older generation, improvin8 communication and listening skills. The final intergenerational session brlngs together their Chosen Person and an object representing a story they discovered, back to the school or centre. Togetherthey will create a piece of art with a written story attached. Flnancial review The totsl income for the year ended 31 August 2023 amounted to £739 {2022= £13,734).
