SMALL PERFORMANCE ADVENTURES TRUSTEES' REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021
Some reflections on the year from our trustees are below:
Watching everyone discover moments of new personal resilience whilst building their creative skills as Arts practitioners has been a joy.
'Spa's achievements this year have been characteristically imaginative - both thoughtful and thought provoking. Exploring the role of ritual in all our lives could not be more fitting as we emerge and reconnect with those around us and our place in the world... Brilliant fun as well as very very moving!
OAD has developed to include a wonderful array of creative recovery organisations right across England, giving so many people the opportunity to commemorate their loved ones and bring attention to the impact of preventable overdose death.
Small Performance Adventures has provided a lifeline to vulnerable people coming out of the pandemic. The project has brought and kept participants connected to playful creative arts in uncertain times. A lovely outcome is seeing how the group supports each other and individuals growing in confidence going onto share their skills with new audiences.
The return of Small Performance Adventures into community spaces during 2021/22 has been a joy to behold. Much was explored still during the pandemic, helping engage online communities in caring, creative expression. But the crew being back out in the world - sharing places and spaces, plotting, planning, creating and having fun together – is simply glorious. And out of which the new rituals project sprung!
Finance and Funding
In 2021 we continued to attract grant funding and increase our income from charitable activity and were able to begin building our reserves. Grant funding in 2021 came from The Sussex Community Foundation £4500 for work on training and employability; Chalk Cliff Trust £3895 for core costs; National Lottery Awards for All £9925 for our creative mental health support work; Arts Council England £17,000 for Overdose Awareness Day and Arts Council England £16,000 for Terminal Uniqueness project at The Spire. We were also awarded £2000 seed commission from The Spire towards creating a new work.
Earned income went up considerably this year and we had contributions from the following organisations to support our delivery of a programme of work for International Overdose Awareness Day: Outside Edge, TiPP, The Men’s Room, Geese Theatre, Theatre Royal Plymouth and Bristol Drugs Project.
For teaching and training we received income from TiPP at Manchester University, Kingston University, Clean Break Theatre company and We are not Saints. In addition we received income for workshop delivery from The Mens Room, TiPP, Clod Ensemble’s Performing Medicine Programme, The Railway Land Wildlife Trust and Charlotte Spencer Projects. Total earned income this year was just under £20,000 more than quadrupled from last year’s total.
Approved by the board on: 12 August 2022
