## **Trustees’ Annual Report for the period** **From 25[th] April 2024 Period start date To 24[th] April 2025 Period end date** ## **Charity name: Immersive Tales** ## **Charity registration number: 1183117** ## **Objectives and Activities** ||SORP reference|| |---|---|---| |Summary of the purposes of
the charity as set out in its
governing document|Para 1.17|**The object of the CIO is the**
**advancement of education for the public**
**benefit of people under 25 in England**
**and Wales in particular but not**
**exclusively by the provision of story**
**writing workshops and courses and**
**sensory equipment and environments to**
**support the development of literacy.**| |Summary of the main
activities in relation to those
purposes for the public
benefit, in particular, the
activities, projects or
services identified in the
accounts.|Para 1.17 and
1.19|**We delivered workshops to a class at**
**Havelock Academy in Grimsby where**
**the children had transitioned from**
**primary school but were not yet**
**considered able to deal with the Key**
**Stage 2 curriculum. The work was**
**funded by Heritage Lincolnshire.**
**The children all completed a story which**
**were printed and bound into a book so**
**they could each have a copy. Working**
**in a classroom was not ideal and, while**
**the school is keen to have more, we will**
**seek a heritage or community building**
**to deliver any future workshops.**
**Other work has been limited because we**
**halted our fundraising efforts in the**
**previous year while we were trialling**
**delivering in Heritage and Community**
**buildings. We wanted to know the**
**outcomes of this approach before more**
**fundraising. Part of this year’s work has**
**been to fundraise for delivery I the next**
**year. As a result, we are currently**
**planning our delivery for summer and**
**autumn 2025. We have recently gained**
**the agreement of Gainsborough Old Hall**
**to be used as a venue. Thus is our first**
**building owned by English Heritage and**
**we hope will set a precedent.**| |Statement confirming|Para 1.18|**In planning the above work the Trustees**| whether the trustees have had regard to the guidance issued by the Charity Commission on public benefit **have had regard to the guidance issued by the Charity Commission on public benefit.** ## **Additional information (optional)** ## You may choose to include further statements where relevant about: SORP reference Para 1.38 Policy on grant making Para 1.38 Policy on social investment including program related investment Para 1.38 Contribution made by volunteers Other ## **Achievements and Performance** ||SORP reference|| |---|---|---| |Summary of the main
achievements of the charity,
identifying the difference the
charity’s work has made to
the circumstances of its
beneficiaries and any wider
benefits to society as a
whole.|Para 1.20|**Delivery in Havelock Academy resulted**
**in very positive verbal and written**
**feedback from both pupils and teachers.**
**Most of the pupils had never read their**
**work out to each other before and the**
**teachers reported that none of them had**
**ever written so much before.**
**Discussions with Gainsborough Old**
**Hall about using the Hall as a venue for**
**workshops resulted in our being also**
**asked to advise on the contents of**
**Sensory backpacks and signposting to**
**a Sensory Library so they can trial ways**
**to improve their inclusiveness.**| **Additional information (optional)** You may choose to include further statements where relevant about: |Achievements against
