THE NEED
We recognise that some children face multiple
barriers to progression, and we know thal
participation in creative learning can help
them overcome a number of these, including
confldenca, sèlf4steèm, mèntal health, and
loneliness
and
Isolation.
Our

supports wlder achlevoments, such as
improved attendance and behaviour at school;
Improved self-management of anxiety and
other low level mental health needs. and the
creation of a new network of frlends
overcoming loneliness. We offer acceptance
for all, regardless of 'Superpowers', soclo-

A REPORT FROM THE CHAIR
Stepping out of Coyid....................
ame with equal measures of Instability and lack of any
assurances whist planning and preparing for the future. It is in that climate that the charity
began this year. Our small but dedicated team of volunteers, management team and
trustees were determined to lake things in their stride and respond to our beneficiaries
whatever the hurdles. Since Covid the proportion of beneficiaries with anxiety and special
education needs Iwe call them 'Superpowers'l has increased and with it the demand on
our volunteers and services. We have strived hard this year to meet this n6ed and with it
many achievements and new programmes have blossomed.
The Platinum Jubilee celebration gave the whole country a reason to rejoice as they
emerged from Covid and so this time the charity with the community and its beneficiaries
created a 1.1 ton, 11ft tall orb with 70 recycled bicycle wheels and adorned with 700+
plastic milk bottles made into the National flowers of the Commonwealth countries. The
community art installalion was displayed on the Long Walk at Wind50r Castle as parl of
the Platinum Jubilee celebrations much to the participants and viewers delight. The build
up to the actual creation had us working inclusively with school children, skilled industry
engineers, CAD experts. local bicycle retailers, cafe owners and the local community. And
more importantly it offered our most vulnerable and isolated beneficiaries several
opporluniliès to actively participate in the Jubileè celebrations.
'1 had a ring in heart thal told me I had to come and be on the Long Walk. So we quickly
came over.
sald one of our isolated single parent and child. And it indeed il made it all
so much more meaningful for tha charity and the participants. Diverse groups that had
been working on different aspects of the Platinum Orb separately unknown to each other
came logeth8r to cel@brate the comp18ting of the art installation on the Long Walk.
The Platinum Orb was then exhibited at the Royal Windsor Flower Show where the charity
also designed and created 'Th8 Children's Marquea. with Ihe themg continued theme of
recycling and sustainability used to celebrate thè Que8n's seven decades of service and
dedication. The design celebrated the Queen's love for nature and highlighted her efforts
to promote the importance of climate change. 11 was a great delight to all Ihe children,
Duke of Edinburgh candidates and volunteers at the charity when The Duchess of
Edinburgh appreciated the charity's creative efforts. She took the time to appreciate the
children's work display and acknowledge the charity's take on inclusion and diversity
being celebrated at all levels.
11 was a welcome surprise when 3 of our young p8ople's artwork was selected from amidst
21000 national entries by the Royal Academy of Arts to exhibit their work al their Young
Artists Summer Show in London. We all at the charity rejoiced at this great news which
and look great pride in attending the vernissage at the Royal Academy of Arts. 11 was a
celebration of each child doing their individual best and expressing their uniqueness using
th8ir 'Superpowers'. It was a gr8at raassuranca to the charity and its beneficiaries to hav8
the children's work recognised by such a prestigious institution.
The Commonweallh with its glorious cultures blew a breathe of colourful learning into our
Summer Jubilee programmes. The children thoroughly enjoyed engaging in experiential
learning such as painting, costume making, puppet making, cooking. music, symbolism
and educational Irips about cultures from all around the various corners of the
Commonwealth.

continued..
The International VA'A Federation Outriggers World Championship held at Dorney Lake
further embedded this learning with the children participating in the Opening Ceremony,
meeting the athletes from 19 participating Polynesian countries, observing the rituals of
the Hawaiian leaders. walching a live 'Haka', trying out Polynesian food and learning
about their culture and ancient sport. Our DofE students and volunteers delivered creative
workshops to commemorate the event.
The Alternative Provision and Intervention programme piloted last year has nol only gown
to become part of our core offer but has we have doubled our sessions due to the growing
need and referrals. This has inclusively offered a great source of respile to several
children allowing them to express and learn using the arts.This has supported them whilst
in school or if they are in transition. Our intervention supports the children in wider
achievements. such as improved atlendance and behaviour at school,. participating in the
charity's community events, managing their anxiety and supporting low level mental
health needs and creation of new network of friends overcoming lonellness.
Th8 Creative Calm sessions were a direct response of the charity to a Laad mental health
practitioner whose group had lost their funding and were at a risk of closing. The charity
opened it doors lo the group comprising of ladies referred by NHS due lo anxiety at
varying levels. The children of these single parents were further referred to the charity's
programmes and benefilt8d imm8nsèly from this intervéntion. It was wonderful to be able
Io w8l¢ome them in as parl of our community.
Looking back, this year started with a vigilant eye stepping out of Covid but panned out lo
be a wholehearted response to make an impactful difference to many as a comeback
since Covid. We saw the long term effects of Covid at a grassroots level with an increase
in mental health related cases. I feel proud of how our team has respond8d to this need
working hard lo be inclusive and yet embracing each 'uniqueness'. I sland humbled and
astonished at witnessing first hand the profound impact the arts can have on well-being,
and l am very proud of the achievements of both our team and the young beneficiaries.
Please do take the time to read on to know more about the difference the arls can make.
Yours truly,

ROYAL WINDSOR FLOWER SHOW:
The Royal Windsor Rose and Horticultural Show moved its annual Royal Windsor
Flower Show ground location after several years of being at st George's School
grounds to The York Club in Windsor Great Park. This was a big challenge for our
charity as established routines and procedure were challenged with the move to a
new location. A5 ever Busy Buttons took a positive attitude and ensured that the
move of the Royal Windsor flower show to the York Club was a great experience for
all involved with the selting up of the children's marquee. Inspired by the Queen's
love for nature and her efforts to promote sustainability, and an awareness of climate
change wè designed tho 'Children's Marquee, creatively using recycling and a
magical woodland wilh cardboard and other recycled material. The design was
planned with 'end-of-project-life' in mind and we made sure that all materials were
recycled at the end of the event, with Oi/lo waste ending up in landfills or incinerators.
The Great Park Is a fabulous settlng and when the sun shone and the crowds arrlved,
we knew the 'Children's Marquee, would be well received and it would be a fabulous
day. Our volunteers, DofE candidates, ladies from the Creatlve Calm group and
children were really excited and took great pride In conductlng creative workshops
and engaglng wlth the publlc. The arrlval of the Duchess of EdSnburgh created rlpples
of excitement amongst the staff and volunteers. She endeared herself to us all by

The 'VAA' International Riggers meet otherwise held in the Polynesian
Islands. had for the first time ever decided to have their meet at Dorney
Lake, Eton and they invited the charity to participate. Besides the actual
sporting aspect being the main feature of the event
the sport is
Intrlnslcally woven Into the Polyneslan culture where It has Its orlglns. It
brought together sportsmen and women from around 18 different
countries. With them came a rich cultural display and exchange as part of
the event. The children of the charity participated in their Opening
Ceremony and proudly led each team whilst being escorted by
volunteering parents at this international event. The children had a
cultural immersive experience of Polynesian culture, observed thelr
traditions, symbolism, met several participants in the sport. had very
insightful sessions to help them understand the sport, the culture, the
ceremonial rituals, the symbolism and be introduced to the possibilities
of even taklng up the sport in the future. They even watched dazzled as
the saw the New Zealand team do the 'Haka' and then taste food from the
Polynesian islands. It was a great learning experience
The charity was
asked to dellver creatlve workshops to engage Internatlonal and natlonal
vlsitors, partlclpatlng sportspeople, thelr famSlles and our local
communlty In creatlve workshops reflectlng the splrit of thls amazlng
event.
It offered our young people the opportunlty to volunteer and
engage overcomlng thelr inhibitlons of speaking to total strangers not
even in the same tongue at times. It truly gave our young people an
opportunity to see how art and culture can transcend languag* and
physlcal boundarles.

Carnival
The summer end brought a colourful explosion of Caribbean culture when a
local organisation asked the charity to participate in their Carnival
celebration in a local park. This brought food, music, dance, culture and art
to the community at a very accessible level in an inclusive and fun
experience. The charity was asked to bring along their creative flare and
offer an interactive workshop for the community catering to all ages and
abilities. Our young people enjoyed their time interacting with the local
community and engaging them creatively as they created an individual
keepsake reflecting the festive carnival colours, history and culture. Earlier
In the summer the children had been learnlng about the origins of Carnlval
and the hlstory behlnd the plethora of colourful costumes and thelr
symbolism dating back to slavery, plantations and expression in dance,
music and food so this was a great occasion for the children to inclusively
celebrate thelr learnlng and teach other children of their understanding.
Wlndsor Fringe
Puppet workshop
The charity has particlpated in Windsor Fringe once agaln. Thls time
around it screened a prevlously recorded theatre performance inspired by
true historic facts, brought to life by children enacting stories using
various props, animations. puppets and costumes created by the children
at the charlty. After the screening chlldren were encouraged to particlpate
In creatlng theor very own puppet inspired by the fllm thus embedding
further the hlstorlc facts In a very creatlve manner so the parent and child
could share thls memory created and gain from thls learnlng experience.

Educational visits -windsor Castle, Tate, Sky Studios
As part of our creative learning programmes children got to experience
and feed their curiosity first hand by participating in several educational
trips with the charity all year long. To name a few memorable ones. Going
into London to see different exhibitions including the Tate Modern had a
child respond, '1 had never been on the traSn before. I really enjoyed
going into London for the first time ever with Busy Buttons. When can we
go again?" The trips to Sky Studios helped get several children out of
their shell and gain from a very insightful learning experience in the
various aspects of the digltal media. Closer to home they had a great
many fun Immerslve sessions on Culture and Herltage at Wlndsor Castle.
Ukraine
In response to the unfortunate series of refugees migrating due to the
Russia-ukraine turmoil the charity offered the wellbeing holiday
programme for free as well as the support carried on during term-time
with free art sessions as long as needed. The experience helped offer a
stable calm and reassuring setting for them. Community engagement
events helped them feel settled, included and be contributing members of
the local communily.
Busy Buttons Chrlstmas falr
The Busy Buttons Chrlstmas falr had a great collectlve of chlldren and
parents all planning* assuming roles and
responsibiliti6s while
volunteering to bring together the festive fair which included creative
workshops, creative experiences. a cake bake and other goodies being
sold, a raffle, a tombola. games and entertainment to raise funds for the
charlty. The evening brought us into a special workshop being offered for
the people who came along as part of the free Living Advent Calendar
event. People in excess of SO or participated in the games and
workshops, enjoying the refreshments which were generously donated. It
made for a great festive evening with several new and returning members
of the public staying on for long.

Ladies with anxiety + children
The charity was approached by a NHS mental healthcare professional who faced
the predicament that a SUPPOTt group session running in Slough for 9 years was
about to close due Council budget cuts. The charity responded immediately with
pilot session for the beneficiaries, in this case, ladies with anxiety due to various
dire circumstances. A group session every Friday began to accommodate those
patlents referred to us from the NHS. Thelr wellbelng routlne Included the ladles
helplng to create the artwork used on the Platlnum Orb. The prlde and sense of
self worth, in seelng the process through. knew no bounds. Participation and
ontribution to community engagement events brought togetherness and sharing
of culture grew new bonds. These ladies were able to bring along to the sessions,
thalr chlldrèn who also faced anxlety consequently. The charlty was able to
support the children being referred to free creative programmes on offer with us.
"AB attended an appointment here at NHS with his mother AC. AB had no
confidance and constantly clung to his mother. Ho was sel8ctlv8 mute and was
unable to make eye contact and appeared fearful and anxious. However. two
weeks later when we observed AB in Busy Buttons, he was a lively, and cheerful
little boy and was playing and chatting away with the other two children
present. We were astonished by the remarkable change and presentation that wè
observed in AB'S behavlour and character. In concluslon we flrmly belleve that
Busy Buttons has been beneficial to both AB and his mother, as they both appear
much more settled and happier. We are therefore dellghted that we referred AB to
Busy Buttons, and are èxtremely grateful for thè posltlv8 and remarkablè Impact

Busy Buttons Core Charity have been a massive part of our life for the past year, I
really don't know how our family survived before we met ihem. This Ari therapy is
form of psychotherapy that uses art media as its primary mode of expression and
communication to address emoiional issues which may be COn￿sing and distressing.
My daughter is attending one of their classe5 on a Tuesday, and attends school 4
days a week. Before we started here my daughter was a school refusal with constsnt
melt downs. Not being able to recognise and regulale emotions and social
awareness or making responsible decisions. My daughter is diagnosed with Autism.
ADHD and Anxiety both Louella and tauiaro have made such a lovely relalionship
with my daughter they listen and provide a individual care plan. Since attending
K*•*Ps atlendance at school has gone up. As well as this her grades have jumped not
by I stage but by 5 and 6 stages in maths and English including spellings and
reading. Not only has her grades improved bui her confidence is soaring. While
attending the Tuesday class K*** works towards her Art Awards - Discovery. explore.
bronze, silver and gold (example- Gold Arts Award is a Level 3 qualification on ihe
Regulated Qualifications Framework (RQF)). My daughter loves the fact that each
class is no more ihan 6 children which gives ihem more time to teach and for the
children to fully undersland each iopic before moving on.
Over this last year K*** has been given so many opportuniiies with other
organisations ihrough Busy Butlon5 sueh a5 Eton eollage, Windsor casile and the
Royal Windsor Flower Show io name a few. K*** is just about io enrol onio their DofE
progTamme which again will help her achieve everything an average child would
achieve but in an environment she feels comfortable in and learn new skills,
overcome obstacles, and build confidence and resilience. The DofE has become one
of The Duke's most remarkable achievemenls and is woven into the fabric of the UK,
equipping and empowering young people from all communities (o build the skills they
need to make the most out of life and make a difference to the world around them.

||Achievements against<br>objectives set|Para<br>1.41|We work tirelessly to offer young people opportunities to grow<br>and discover hidden talents and interests. It came as a<br>hugely welcoming reward to have not 1 but 3 of our students<br>artwork selected for display at the Royal Academy of Arts’<br>Young Artist Summer Show out of 21,500 national entries. It<br>was also a great celebration of inclusion as the majority of the<br>students selected have ‘Super Powers’ such as Autism and<br>ADHD.<br>The year has been a mixed bag.<br>On one side 2022 saw the end of Covid restrictions as the<br>whole country celebrated the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee. At<br>the charity we re-launched our first community engagement<br>project since before the pandemic.<br>We delivered ‘The Platinum Orb’ project a 1.1 ton, 11ft tall<br>community art installation made with 70 recycled bicycle<br>wheels and over 700 milk bottles. The community art work<br>was created by over 1000 participants and displayed on the<br>Long Walk.<br>The Children’s Marquee at the Royal Windsor Summer Show<br>was entirely designed by the charity’s team in upcycled<br>materials. The work of the children and ‘Lily Of The Valley’<br>flowers made out of milk bottles was much appreciated by the<br>Duchess of Edinburgh who visited the marquee.<br>The Summer Jubilee programme immersed young people in<br>experiential learning about various Commonwealth countries.<br>The creative educational experience was made complete with<br>participation in a local Caribbean/African Carnival and an<br>international Polynesian Outrigger (Va’a) competition were<br>young people could first hand see a ‘Haka’ performed live.<br>These projects helped to increase the number of primary<br>beneficiaries (participants in programmes) to over a 1000 and<br>secondary beneficiaries (audience of art) to 10,000s.<br>On the other side, as a grassroots charity on the frontier we<br>have noted an increase in mental health related issues and<br>anxiety amongst young people. The alternative provision<br>launched as pilot in 2021 has seen an increase in referrals<br>and the barriers the young people face are more challenging.<br>Having a weekly respite at the charity’s Design Studio, where<br>they can calmly focus on art and learn using a creative<br>approach has proven a lifeline to many of our children.<br>We also launched a new initiative to support ladies with<br>anxiety referred to us by NHS. This was an immediate<br>response to service cuts in our community and we were able<br>to seamlessly offer weekly on going support for the ladies and<br>their children.<br>As a result we have spent a lot of our volunteers time on a<br>small number of beneficiaries with greater needs. But<br>achieved lasting benefits preventing children spiralling into<br>secondary services as a result.|

During 2022 we only received £180 in<br>financial support from Local Authorities toward this service.<br>The charity did not receive public funding in 2022.<br>The majority of the volunteer led management team’s time<br>and resources went towards supporting the most vulnerable<br>children and families in the Alternative Provision and the<br>Creative Calm group, despite having limited funding towards<br>the services offered.

## **Independent examiner's statement** 

I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention which gives me cause to believe that: 

• accounting records were not kept in accordance with section 386 of the Companies Act 2006; or • the accounts do not accord with such records; or • the accounts do not comply with relevant accounting requirements under section 396 of the Companies Act 2006 other than any requirement that the accounts give a ‘true and fair’ view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination; or •the accounts have not been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS102). 



I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
