During this year we delivered a 3 day workshop to the Sir Donald Bailey Academy in Newark and piloted work with younger children at Branston C of E Academy near Lincoln, working with a total of 104 children. 

We received an enthusiastic response from the children and very positive evaluations from both the children and their teachers.  Sadly, Covid disrupted delivery of the last workshops in Newark. 

**Summary of the main activities undertaken for the public benefit in relation to these objects (include within this section the statutory declaration that trustees have had regard to the guidance issued by the Charity Commission on public benefit)** 

The older children (year 5) in Newark all produced a story and the younger children created a group story in each class that was then made into a book so that they all had a copy to take home (this can be seen on our website). 

The Head Teacher at Branston wrote: 

“Feedback from the books has been lovely.  The children were so proud to receive their published book. They spent time in class reading their stories and all rushed out at the end of the day to show their parents”. 

Feedback from both teachers and children can be found on our website: https://immersivetales.org.uk 

In planning the above work the Trustees have had regard to the guidance issued by the Charity Commission on public benefit. 

## **Additional details of objectives and activities (Optional information)** 

You **may choose** to include further statements, where relevant, about:

Section D                      Achievements and performance 

To deliver workshops in two schools with positive evaluation results. **Summary of the main achievements of the charity** To learn from the above both what works well and what needs changing **during the year** e.g. sensory soundscapes were more effective than lighting effects with the older children (age 9 – 10) but the younger ones responded with enthusiasm and increased use of descriptive words to both sound and lighting.
