CORE stands for Creativity, Opportunity, Respect and Empowerment and these values are central to everything we do. Our primary activity is to deliver arts programmes for the local community, and beyond. Our core objective and commitment is to 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 provide people with the opportunity to develop skills, improve confidence and self-esteem, and to bulld family relationships through family participation. Through our community design studlo In Windsor, wework hard to makechlldren feelcomfortable and safe. We inclusively welcome children from all backgrounds and abilitie5, including those with special needs (we call it 'Super Powers'1 to learn a variety of creative skills, such as filmmakin& animation, fashion design, Sculpting, painting and illustration to help them discover their real passions and interests. We offer individual attention and a quality education through small group work and provide the guidance and a helping hand to allow children to learn at their own pace. We encourage them to celebrate their 'unique self through their design expression. Our referrals are from CAMHS, SENCOS, Adoption Services, NHS and Social Services. We recognSse that some chSldren face multlple barriers to progression, and we know that participation in creative learning can help them overcome a number of these, including confidence, self-esteem, mental health, and loneliness and isolation. Our early intervention aids progression in these areas. It supports wider achievements, such as improved attendance and behaviour at school; improved self-management of anxiety and other low level mental healrh needs,. and the creation of a new network of friends overcoming loneliness. We offer acceptance for all, regardle55 of 'Super powers,, socio-economic background, ability, gender or race.

Despite the challenges of being notified that our current premises WOLJld be redeveloped In 2024, leading to the need to relocate, our focus remained steadfast on fulfllling our mission. In response, we launched the Room 2 Grow Appeal, seeking support to secure a new home for the charity. While this appeal was vital, the charity's core purpose of empowering young people through creativity and inclusion remained at the heart of everything we did. This year, we successfully executed several significant initiatives. One of the highlights was The One Life Project, a community-driven art Snstallation celebrating our King's Coronation with a focus on raising awareness of sustainability, cli mate change and the power of collaboration. This mean ingful project brought together families, children, and local residents and was displayed at the Royal Windsor Flower Show, demonstrating the collective impact of our work and fostering a sense of shared purpose in the community. A key milestone for us was the first Dof E Bronze Exped ition In the New Forest. This outdoor adventure allowed young participants to gain essential life skills, inclusive training that culminated in a successful expedition. Additionally, our creative programmes for young artists were a resounding success. The courses, camps and alternative provision, aimed at fostering self-expression and artistic growth, culminated in entries to national art competitions. Many participants showed marked improvement, with families praising the impact on their child ren's creativlty and self-esteem. We are eager to continue offerlng such opportunities to nurture young talent in the years to come. We also saw remarkable success in recognition of our students, artistic achievements. One of our young artists was awarded 1st place in the KSI category, and the charity was honoured with the Yinka Award for Best Craft School in the UK 2023, presented by the Crafts Council UK and renowned designer Yinka Ilori. Additionally, two of our students were shortlisted for other categories, highlightlng the exceptional talent fostered wlthin our programmes. We were overwhelmed by the encouraging words from thejudging panel at Crafts Council.

As we look to the future, we are determined to continue offering life-changing programmes to our beneficiaries, while also working to secure a new home for the charity. We are grateful for the unwavering support of our community, volunteers, and donors, and we remain committed to creating a positive, lasting impact for young people in the years to come.

We provided structured training sessions covering navigation, first aid, meal planning, camping skills, and expedition planning, ensuring participants were confident and well-prepared for their assessed expedition. Participants demonstrated teamwork, resilience, and determination, navigating challenging routes and camping independently. Despite some facing personal challenges-or as we call them, superpowers-each participant worked shoulder to shoulder with their peers and completed the expedition with flying colours. The experience enhanced their problem-solving skills, self-confidence and ability to adapt.
