DUKE OF EDINBURGH LICENSED CENTRE ARTSAWARDS ACCREDITED CENTRE** **w w w . b u s y b u t t o n s . o r g c o m m u n i t y @ b u s y b u t t o n s . o r g 0 7 9 5 2 4 1 8 2 1 2** 2 ## BUSY BUTTONS A REPORT & SUMMARY _Creativity at the heart of the community bringing all ages and abilities together to build a vibrant and inclusive environment for children to thrive._ **The Busy Buttons CORE Charity is a local independent inclusive registered charity based in the heart of the Windsor community. CORE stands for Creativity, Opportunity, Respect and Empowerment and these values are central to everything we do. Our primary activity is to deliver art programmes for the local community and beyond whilst positively influencing the lives of hundreds of individuals and families. We also support young people with special educational needs, behavioural issues, anxiety and feelings of isolation.** **Busy Buttons is committed to inclusively helping each child use creativity and imagination, to achieve their unique potential irrespective of behaviour, age, ability, gender or race. The charity makes the arts accessible to everyone as a means of improving mental health, enhancing wellbeing and realising potential through active participation in creative activity.** **As parents of two complex children with high SEN needs, it can be very difficult to find clubs and social activities that fit their needs.....** It is about understanding the individual child, nurturing the skills and qualities and building community... This is a lifeline to many. _--Mother of our students_[3] **All Rights Reserved © Busy Buttons CORE charity 2021. Registered Charity: 1188606** ## **H O W I T B E G A N** **The story began several years ago when the founders, Louella and Lautaro, were attacked by a group of young people one evening in London. Scarred by this life threatening incident it set them both on a course to change a negative experience into benefitting and positively empowering several others' lives.** **“That day painted in our hearts the beginnings of a grim picture of what could become the image of the next generation. We were most upset by the thought that those young people had no sense of empathy, responsibility or shame. We realised the very urgent need of consistently offering young people positive experiences to help grow their respect for themselves and humanity as well as finding their unique potential.” -Louella. Thus began the Busy Buttons journey in 2008. Today we can support a number of families in our local community and beyond from our purpose fitted design studio where we work extremely hard to offer numerous creative engagement learning and empowering opportunities.** _Photo: Comfortable and safe environment for young people and adults in the heart of Windsor. 100s of school children come along to creatively learn and have fun annually._ ## **T H E N E E D** ## **OBJECTIVES** **Since the pandemic, Digital NHS Statistics reflect that 1.54 million people have been in touch for mental health services by January 2022 end. Statistics have shown that at the beginning of 2022 more than 400,000 children alone were being treated for mental health problems on a monthly basis, projecting an unprecedented wellbeing crisis in children and young adults.** **Our core objective is to inclusively nurture wellbeing, especially of young people, by using the arts to encourage co-operation, communication, imagination, and creativity. Through the delivery of a huge range of creative arts, we inclusively provide people with the opportunity to develop skills, improve confidence and self-esteem, and to build family relationships through family participation.** 4 **All Rights Reserved © Busy Buttons CORE charity 2021. Registered Charity: 1188606** ## **W H A T W E D O** ## O N - G O I N G P R O G R A M M E S **Busy Buttons runs an Ofsted registered Design Studio in Windsor Yards, where participants feel comfortable and safe. We inclusively support children with learning and behavioural issues to learn less traditional creative skills, such as filmmaking, animation, fashion design, sculpting, painting and illustration to help them to discover their real passions and interests, thereby improving their selfesteem and confidence. To this effect we deliver free (low income families) and small fee-based arts educational programmes on a full-time basis, including weekends and school holidays, which are currently almost exclusively run by volunteers.** **All of these services have remained free to families on low income and discounted for children referred to us by CAMHS, NHS, Adoption Services, SENco, other Charities and the Local Authorities.** ## **AWARDS & CERTIFICATION** **Our students can gain their Arts Awards certification as Busy Buttons CORE Charity is an accredited Arts Awards Centre endorsed by Trinity College, London.** **As an officially licensed, Duke of Edinburgh Award Centre young people who otherwise would not participate due to their low self esteem, special needs, anxiety and socioeconomic barriers can benefit from achieving all their DofE levels ie. Bronze, Silver and Gold Awards on the various programmes with the charity as it offers a safe and nurturing environment to ' BE their BEST' as they experience and grow.** **I love going to Busy Buttons to learn new things and I wish I could do it everyday. Busy Buttons has taught me that I can do anything if I put my mind to it.** _-10 year old autistic child_ 5 **All Rights Reserved © Busy Buttons CORE charity 2021.

Families and schools benefit from this collaboration.** **LANTERN PARADE AND CHRISTMAS LIGHTS SWITCH ON: We have designed and specially made lanterns with local school children in 2017, 2018 and 2019 for the Windsor Lights Switch On. Many of our young people have performed a Christmas special version of our annual theatre production at the festive event.** GARTER TOWER, WINDSOR CASTLE: **We worked with school children to create 90 art pieces on behalf of RBWM Council and these creations have been projected on the Garter Tower since 2015 each Christmas. .** 6 **All Rights Reserved © Busy Buttons CORE charity 2021.

Students doing their Duke of Edinburgh Award as well come along to do their Volunteering and Skills section with Busy Buttons.** ## **WORK EXPERIENCE** **We also provide opportunities for young people to gain work experience as part of their placement experience for school and college. Pre-covid we annually supported around 20 students in doing their work experience and gaining precious first hand experience and are now slowly reviving this aspect. These young people are from local schools and colleges. A few of them carry on to gainfully paid roles seasonally at Busy Buttons.** **All Rights Reserved © Busy Buttons CORE charity 2021. Registered Charity: 1188606** 10 2021 **OBJECTIVES & ACTIVITIES** A REPORT FROM THE CHAIR The journey back from Covid has been hard but extremely rewarding. It has put our beneficiaries, volunteers, management team and Trustees to the test, but as a result we have come out stronger and more resilient and also stronger as a community. The year started with the very challenging ‘second’ lockdown and instead of cancelling programmes, we were inspired by Queen Elizabeth's WWII pantomimes at Windsor Castle. We continued to work and creatively engage young people on weekdays and weekends on our educational Online Theatre production whilst creating new bonds interviewing senior citizens from care-homes simultaneously documenting their WWII stories as children. This enriching real life story exchange helped shape the script of the Online Theatre performance. It built great perseverance as they explored a unique learning adventure and a great sense of achievement as the world watched this thought provoking production online. As the lockdown eased during spring, we maintained a conservative and cautious approach in relation to infection rates and restrictions to ensure that beneficiaries and their families were kept safe. To this effect we only gradually moved programmes from online to face to face but kept all the programmes to 50% capacity compared to pre-covid measures and continued hybrid courses (face to face and online) ensuring consistency in the delivery of programmes with as little last minute changes as possible. However it meant an increased number of sessions to accommodate for the growing demand, which put additional pressure on our volunteers. But the charity never cancelled a single session, and children who were isolating could still access the programmes remotely. Where needed one to one support was offered. This year have seen some wonderful moments encouraging our young people to embrace several opportunities and enrich their portfolio of experiences and skillsets. They rose to promote inclusion and diversity awareness while raising funds doing creative activities like paddle boarding, horse jumping, penny-farthing ridding to name a few for the 'Busy Buttons Diversity Relay for Parallel Windsor 2021 over the entire summer. On becoming a Directly Licensed Centre thanks to the very supportive DofE Team, we began offering all levels of the Duke of Edinburgh Scheme. We offered some very special opportunities for the young people who shone with each special experience at numerous community events planned and delivered with them. They gained some impressive skills and their physical challenges encouraged them to push boundaries they had not explored. We are proud to support children from low income families and those with unique learning abilities for free in achieving their DofE Award. This responsive approach has taken its toll on both volunteers and the financial growth of the charity due to extreme workload on our small but dedicated team. On the other hand we are overwhelmed with the response from our beneficiaries, claiming the charity’s services to be ‘a lifeline’. I feel proud of our young beneficiaries and our volunteers in equal measures for their efforts and achievements which has nurtured and grown the community to a tighter knit. Please find an account of the various projects and programmes delivered in 2021 below. Yours truly, Louella Fernandez-Lempiainen Chair **----- Start of picture text -----**

11 ## 2021 ## EXPERIMENTAL THEATRE **JAN - MAY 2021** **Lockdown 2 announced: Busy Buttons responded with an online theatre performance drawing parallels between the lockdown and WW2, being inspired by the the true story of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth’s childhood, and the pantomimes she put on with her sister to raise funds for the soldiers Wool Fund during World War Two in the Waterloo Chamber of Windsor Castle. The children engaged online with senior citizens in care homes in the UK and also abroad while documenting their real life stories as children during WW2. They used found objects at home to make puppets, animations and to recreate the real life WW2 stories in a online theatre performance. Recreating scenarios and practising online was challenging but truly engaged the young people and got them expressing their response and anxiety during Covid. When things opened up in May we were able to do a sound recording with local school children and the last few rehearsals face to face before the final show online on 9 May.** **It was much applauded and a great positive memory created during Covid for both the senior citizens, the young people, their families and the many viewers online.** 12 **All Rights Reserved © Busy Buttons CORE charity 2021. Registered Charity: 1188606** 2021 **Restarting face to face CREATIVE programmes with empowering LIFE SKILLS** ## APR 2021 - ONWARDS **As the second lock-down eased, the charity moved gradually from online to face to face. The group sizes were kept to 50% of pre-covid and all health and sanitation measures were in place until May 2022. This helped in reducing chances of transmissions rates and as a result the charity did not need to cancel a single class due to contact to exposure to infected participants. All the children were supported inclusively.** " Since my son's diagnosis; being told he may not walk or talk, we have worked incredibly hard to get him as independent as possible and included in mainstream settings....After being made aware of Busy Buttons, we were overwhelmed/touched with the time they took to get know my son, his needs and how they wanted to provide a place for him within their setting. Busy Buttons offers O*** such a happy and positive place, with clear routine and boundaries, where he can be independent from his parents, learn new skills and interact socially with peers, something he craves so badly." _--Mother of young person at Busy Buttons_ 13 **All Rights Reserved © Busy Buttons CORE charity 2021. Registered Charity: 1188606** ## 2021 **An Alternative /Transitional Provision iSTEM programme -** _**embracing the arts**_ **Out of a rising need the 'iSTEM' programme began in June 2021. It supports those unable to attend school and those attending school but facing difficulties due to anxiety or various needs. The programme also supports SEN students who struggle in accessing and progressing in STEM subjects with a hands on approach and small groups.** **Children attend one day per week by special arrangement with the schools.** **A new creative approach to conventional STEM learning where the 'i' for imagination aspect in this programme has been developed by film industry professionals and pedagogy pioneers of experiential life learning, Louella Fernandez-Lempiäinen and Lautaro Lempiäinen, founders of Busy Buttons CORE charity.** **Through their work with Busy Buttons the children find acceptance, the opportunity to achieve in their own time and using their own skills, and this builds their confidence in their own abilities and their feelings of selfworth allowing them to return to school or give them on going support to remain in full-time education and excel academically.** ## **60% have returned to** ## **school** We receive referrals from ## CAMHS, NHS, SENco, Adoption Services, Early Help & other Charities **A…. finds school and schoolwork challenging and finds accessing the curriculum very difficult. A…. was becoming increasingly disconnected from his learning and his parents were struggling to get him to come into school. We are very pleased with the improved confidence that we have seen from A…. over the course of this academic year and some of this is definitely as a result of the independence and growth he has made as a result of attending Busy Buttons. -A** _ssistant Head Teacher_ **You feel really good about yourself like you’ve accomplished something that you don’t normally do...

Participants chose their own challenge to complete over the Summer as part of the relay keeping them active and creative promoting well being and purpose.** **Walking, Hula Hooping, Trampolining, Paddle boarding, Show jumping, cycling, Penny farthing riding and modified Land Rover race! It was truly a celebration of diverse abilities where each participant creatively expressed themselves in their own unique way while raising vital funds to enable the charity to help more young people.** 15 **All Rights Reserved © Busy Buttons CORE charity 2021. Registered Charity: 1188606** ## 2021 **Busy Buttons CORE charity is a Directly Licensed Duke of Edinburgh centre offering 14 - 25 year olds the opportunity to do all the sections: Skills, Volunteering, Physical Activity and Expedition for their Bronze, Silver and Gold levels. Based in Windsor Yards the programme is open to all abilities and offers specific support to young people who can't or don’t want to access the programme through mainstream providers. This can be due to anxiety, special needs, social stigma, peer pressure or financial barriers. Operating with small groups the inclusive charity offers both additional support and bursaries to ensure that all can achieve their DofE Award no matter their diverse background, socio-economic status, abilities, culture or other barriers.** **“I think it is an amazing opportunity as most people don’t get to do this so I am grateful that I am doing this as part of my DofE. It’s been a great life experience and skill to talk to other people and show them how to do stuff.” -** _Busy Buttons DofE Bronze candidate_ **Busy Buttons' DofE Scheme has enabled young people to learn life skills while participating and growing from some incredible real life experiences at the charity and at various prestigous venues.** **The Duke of Edinburgh Award scheme has been very supportive of the charity as it offers a unique setting and possibilities for young people to inclusively participate and grow cementing the same values that the DofE endorses.** **“We are so excited here at the DofE South East Region that Busy Buttons CORE Charity has become a Directly Licensed Centre with us, as they align the DofE’s Youth Without Limits strategy. Their inclusive and supportive activities will ensure that all young people will be able to achieve their full potential, which ties in wonderfully with the Duke of Edinburgh’s Award.”** _--Elizabeth Thornton-Harwood, Operations Officers of DofE Awards._ 16 **All Rights Reserved © Busy Buttons CORE charity 2021. Registered Charity: 1188606** **COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT PROJECTS** 2021 **As of July 2021 the charity restarted the community engagement events that the charity was so well known for pre Covid.** ROYAL WINDSOR ROSE AND HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY’S SUMMER SHOW: **Bachelor's Acre event** VEGAN MARKET: **Windsor Yards** This was the first Community Engagement event since the lockdown. It was challenging planning and delivering workshops with sanitation and public health measures in place, but we were overwhelmed with the enthusiastic response from the public. ETON COLLEGE'S ETON ACTION FAIR The charity was invited to deliver creative workshops along with our DofE Youth Ambassadors at Eton College. ONE GREAT DAY Our DofE Youth Ambassadors helped us deliver a vegan themed workshop as part of Windsor Yards Vegan Market. The volunteering counted towards their DofE Award. WINDSOR FRINGE FESTIVAL The charity participated in the Windsor Fringe Festival offering creative workshops for the local community for the 4th consecutive year. ROYAL BRITISH LEGION The charity delivered a creative family workshop as part of ‘One Great Day’ and raised over £200 for Great Ormond Street Hospital. Our DofE Youth Ambassadors helped us to plan and deliver the event. LIVING ADVENT CALENDAR We were delighted to welcome the local community back to Busy Buttons Design Studio after Covid for the 9th year of participating in the annual Windsor & Eton Living Advent Calendar. Lest we forget. Our volunteers and DofE Youth Ambassadors helped to raise funds for RBL. BUSY BUTTONS CHRISTMAS FAIR The charity delivered a day long event with tombola, activities, creative crafts, Christmas bake, hot chocolate and more. Leading up to the event we had volunteers and families participating in a series of ‘Big Make’ days to prepare the event. 17 **All Rights Reserved © Busy Buttons CORE charity 2021.

Regular monitoring has shown a reassurance of consistence in supporting the young people thus growing its sense of stability and building in confidence in the charity's quality assurance, growing opportunities and accreditations for its young people's development and contribution to society.** Their iSTEM classes provide somewhere for children to gain a number of different skills whilst making friends and accessing a structured learning environment. Some of these children might be home educated or often unable to access school for a variety of reasons. Schools are also seeing the value in their pupils accessing this provision and are accommodating it into the school timetable for certain children who would benefit. It is difficult to find holiday clubs and classes that cater for a wide variety of children but at Busy Buttons they look at the individual needs of the children and support them accordingly... The value to local residents and the wider community is so huge that it is difficult to capture. Below are just a few of the many ways in which the work they do really does change children’s lives. - They provide a safe space for children and young people - They have a strong belief in all they work with and manage to get the best out of those they support even when the children don’t have belief in themselves. - Build confidence and self esteem in the children they work with - Everyone is treated as equal - They have a strong sense of community - The sense of camaraderie they project when holding community events and inviting people to become involved in projects - Parents are involved in planning for events They welcome feedback and ideas from the families they work with They provide opportunities for children to volunteer and gain valuable skills as ambassadors for the charity - Children are able to work towards recognised qualifications such as Arts awards and Duke of� Edinburgh awards 19 - _-An Occupational Therapist parent_ - **All Rights Reserved © Busy Buttons CORE charity 2021.

He was scared of school, super frustrated with teachers not being understanding of his learning needs and not nurturing his natural creativity.** **(He has Dysgraphia but is very bright - he finds school a real challenge) He was so anxious and having panic attacks going to school.** **He was instantly at ease at busy buttons and found a creative space he felt confident in.** **He attended a handful of 1-1 sessions and made a beautiful apron. He learned patience and to plan and design before diving in to make. But most of all was not anxious being left there and instantly felt understood and part of a team.** _--- Mother of child with unique needs._ **I’m a lot more comfortable with everyone now and I can be myself around them because when I started I didn’t think I could be myself but now I can.** **I have learnt how to do more things as in I’ve learnt maths and people, socialise a bit more.** _--Alternative Provision participant_ **After all the progress is done you feel really good about yourself like you’ve accomplished something that you don’t normally do in schools.** **It’s quite fun how they sometimes quiz you on stuff that you don’t know. It’s really fun because your imagination grows, which is the “i” in iSTEM. In other schools it would just be STEM but here it’s imagination, because for all the words that STEM means, you need imagination to work with it. I am really happy with this group.** _--Alternative Provision participant_ **My daughter cannot access her normal education, but she can access your provision and she thrives. And it is the only thing that fills L with a sense of accomplishment... There are so many children who cannot access their mainstream education who have high anxiety and they really should be promoting your alternative provision** _--- Mother of 11 year Autistic child suffering from severe anxiety_ **F O R M O R E I N F O R M A T I O N , P L E A S E C O N T A C T L O U E L L A O R L A U T A R O O N 0 7 9 5 2 4 1 8 2 1 2 O R E M A I L U S A T C O M M U N I T Y @ B U S Y B U T T O N S .

objectives set|Para 1.41|Due to the on going Covid-19 restrictions we
were forced to adapt and use creative
approaches to best meet the needs of our
beneficiaries. The main objective was to
offer artistic activities and our Design Studio
as a refuge and safe haven for children
struggling with anxiety. Delivery of objectives
was kept fluid to allow for change.
For example, a conservative and cautions
approach was adopted in relation to infection
rates and restrictions to ensure that
beneficiaries and their families were safe.
But also to ensure consistency with as little
last minute changes to programmes as
possible.
To this effect we kept all programmes to
50% capacity as restrictions eased up and
continued hybrid courses (face to face and
online).
It meant that we had to increase the number
of sessions to accommodate for the growing
demand, which put additional pressure on
our volunteers. But the charity never
cancelled a single session, and children who
were isolation could still access the
programmes remotely.
This responsive approach has taken its toll
on both volunteers and the development and
growth of the charity due to the extreme
workload on our volunteering management
team.| |---|---|---| |Performance of fundraising
activities against objectives
set|Para 1.41|The charity’s restricted income was down
£23,321 from the previous year. This was a
direct result of reduced income from Trusts
and Grants as the management team and
Trustees did not have the time to submit as
many applications for grants in 2021 as in
2020.
This was due to increased pressure on the
volunteer led management team and
Trustees as they delivered all online
programmes seamlessly during the second
lockdown and restarted face to face activities
gradually from April, to full capacity in July.
Fortunately, the added income from
restarted face to face charitable activities
helped to balance out the loss of restricted
income.
The increase of expenses of delivering face
to face programmes overshadowed the
income and the charity would have made a
loss of over £10,000 had it not been for
Government Covid support, and donations
which helped the team to deliver the all
programmes without a loss.| 21 |||During 2021 all programmes were delivered
on 50% capacity to ensure safety of our
beneficiaries and the general public. This
reduced the capability to raise income.
Based on demand the charity also launched
an alternative provision helping children
unable to attend school due to anxiety. To
date we have only received £380 in financial
support from local authorities toward this
service. The charity does not receive public
funding.
All programmes are free for families on low
income and discounted for children referred
to the charity. As such the charity does not
operate with a profit making model and relies
on grants and donations to support its
beneficiaries.
THE FUTURE
We are aiming to increase the capacity of
our face-to-face programmes in 2022 to
ensure that they do not run at a loss
We aim to contract a dedicated person who
can lead a voluntary team of fundraisers in
order to build up the support from grant
giving bodies, trusts and private donors to
allow the charity to grow and develop a more
sustainable operational model that won’t
have to rely mainly on volunteers. This will
aid the charity to apply for funding even at
times when the Trustees and management

At incorporation the Charity/Company was unable to open a new bank account due to most banks not taking on new customers at the start of the COVID19 pandemic. As such a bank account was opened by the named Director in her personal name with funds within the account only being used for and on behalf of the Charity. This decision was agreed with all the Trustees and appropriately minuted, since then the charity has been able to open a bank account in the name of the Charity. However, the new charity account doesn't provide a bank card and so the temporay account in the named Director is maintained in order to manage payments that can't be done by BACS or Cheque. During this accounting period the account was solely used for the Charity's purpose and we aim to close it as soon as we have opened a second charity bank account with a different bank that provides a bank card. 36
