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 The Film Academy engages around 200
young people every week with no charges
to families. With the focus in education of
media, our students create films (many
award- winning). We are linked with Trinity
Collage in London, who moderates their
work as part of the Arts Awards program,
so every child gets a qualification. Around
25% of our members has additional
learning needs.
The very popular Over 60’s Social Club (in
partnership with other community groups)
have around 180 members with free entry
to members. Every two weeks we hold
events that have a direct positive benefit.
The film events are very popular as are
music days. We find this beneficial to
wellbeing especially to members who suffer
from dementia as they find classic films
and music help against memory loss.
Throughout the winter we initiated a warm
hub in our offices for those in need of a
warm space and became a food bank
where those in desperate need of food

could collect an emergency food parcel. To date Cymru Creations have handed out approximately 50 food parcels.
