Running the Charity:

The charity currently has a relatively small Board: as of July 2022, there are three trustees, recruited through invitation, who have a mix of arts, education, community and marketing backgrounds.

There is an opportunity for the Board to gather additional members with skills that would benefit the development of the charity, such as in fundraising, audiences and personnel. The board will use more open and selective recruitment to attract new board members with these and other skills we identify.

Despite having a small core team, we work hard to make projects a success for all involved, currently with limited funds; our operational costs are at their their most frugal and we make the most of a volunteer programme and pro-bono work.

These are activities set to be enjoyable experiences where participants can learn something new, develop friendships which will lead to an increased level of happiness. These activities will also strive towards improving the health and wellbeing of participants, with regular, fun, timetabled activity and a set of personal objectives for each individual thus providing participants with a sense of purpose and fulfilment which can continue beyond the end of the project’s funding. Additionally, we intend to improve the health and wellbeing of others involved including volunteers, staff and the communities which the project engages with.

We are eager for projects to lead to greater social cohesion and an increased understanding in the field of Health and Wellbeing.

Illuminate productions Enrichment: Activities for 2022/2023

Despite the charity being relatively new in its inception and capacity currently limited (growth hindered by the Global Covid 19 Pandemic) we are proud to be delivering on our commitment to reach and engage our communities, inspiring new audiences through our

accessible, educational and inspiring programme of work. Our high impact programme has continued to focus on our main objectives and priorities – the crossover between Arts and Science, education, mental health and social connectedness. (see key projects below).

Additionally, much of our work this year has been focused on research and development of several larger scale projects to be delivered within our year 4-6 programme and upskilling our workforce.

Providing culturally engaging activities which educate, challenge perceptions and make a positive impact on community is essential to what we do. We have actively encouraged diversity through an eclectic programme of workshops, events and collaborators; which have appealed to a wide audience.

Working with vulnerable populations requires a commitment to continuous learning and growth, allowing our work to remain positive and impactful within such sensitive contexts. We have enhanced our model of care through further investment in our staff, volunteers and artists: providing ongoing training and mentoring opportunities and allowing for all involved to feel safely supported if issues arise (given the complexity of our diverse audience types- mental health issues and other)

Improving Emotional Well-being

Our projects have focused intention on delivering wellbeing benefits and many of our interventions have become more playful and engaging, shifting our expectations for participants to ‘produce’ work and instead engage in our projects with a sense of wellness and connection.

Engaging in activities that bring joy and pleasure can also help to boost self-esteem and overall happiness. By making play a priority in our lives, we can experience greater happiness, satisfaction, and well-being.

Aims:

• To engage a diverse local community of all ages and abilities.

• To support wellbeing through meaningful activity and cathartic story sharing

• Acknowledge significant loss

• Encourage community participation in the arts

Objectives:

• Acknowledge and commemorate the many lives lost through the Covid-19 Pandemic.

• Provide a meaningful legacy for our loved ones

Project Overview:

Commissioning a professional song writer, we delivered an engagement project to allow mourning members of the public to commemorate and share stories about lost loved ones from Covid-19. Love letters, poems, written text, voice and video recording were created. With permission, the artist then took direct inspiration from the public’s words and stories to compose and design a meaningful tribute.

This new artwork will acknowledge and commemorate the many lives lost through the Covid19 Pandemic. Touring locations across the United Kingdom, it will feature music, singing and visuals.

Artist and composer Emily Peasgood is currently developing the new musical artwork (with lyrics by Kate Lynn-Devere) produced by Illuminate Productions.

JOY Café by Joy Bomb London (Amy Broch)

October 2022, London

Aims:

• Engage a diverse local community of all ages and abilities.

• Help people reconnect and reinvigorate their ‘social biome’

• Provide an interactive and meaningful experience for our communities

• Improve the wellbeing of our participants by providing a safe space to confide in strangers.

Objectives: (improved wellbeing)

• Adults who engage in regular play have been found to have lower levels of cortisol,

• which can lead to better stress management and overall well-being.

• Play can stimulate the release of feel-good chemicals in the brain, such as dopamine and endorphins, which can help to improve mood.

• Play can be a great way to cope with difficult emotions and provide relief, which can improve overall emotional well-being.

• Social interaction and relational diversity, conversations without fear of judgement.

Outcomes/ Reach: Circa 700 participants (booked sessions)

• The success of the project has become pivotal in the development of a business plan to role out and expand the concept. We are currently in the development phase of a Joy Cafe

• Analysing the project evaluation we have furthered our understanding of positive community participation: the benefits and ease participants feel in confiding their innermost fears, decisions and life events to concealed strangers

4 Volunteers engaged

Partner: Illuminate Productions Ltd

Project Overview:

JOY Café, was a pop-up site-specific installation where people could chat, play, laugh and nourish their ‘social biome’.

Members of the public were invited to book a slot and were welcomed into a multi-sensory work of art and live performance. They could bring a friend, come alone or choose to chat with a JOY Bomb character.

Visitors enjoyed a 20-minute socially nutritious experience and visual treat over a drink and a snack and became part of this unique pop-up site-specific installation with live actors.

Participants could sit and relax in the shop window at JOY Café whilst becoming part of the show amid a kitsch kaleidoscope of vivid clashing colours, a fur carpet, inflatable dogs and messages spreading positive vibes to all. Numerous photo opportunities were provided, and visitors were strongly encouraged to capture their fun time.

According to Jeffrey Hall, professor of communication studies at the University of Kansas, your social biome is the ecosystem of relationships and interactions that shapes an individual’s emotional, psychological and physical health. But due to the Covid-19 pandemic, lockdown, social distancing concerns and the prevalence of home-working – it is likely to be severely damaged.

Amy, who was widowed during the pandemic in May 2020, invited members of the public to join her at JOY Café. “Whether you are seeking some healing solitude or conversation – come and enjoy the benefits of a nutritiously dense social snack,” she said. “Daily interactions big

and small make up your social biome. Small talk is more nutritious than we think - it helps to boost your social biome and banish loneliness.”

Her work provides opportunities to explore, connect and laugh.

Joy Bomb London’s creative mission is to celebrate FUN for FUN’s sake and to make memorable moments happy ones.

Growth.

• Our trauma-informed practice offers a framework for building on our community work in a mindful, welcoming, and safe way. We continue to develop our standards of care by providing one-on-one support, mentoring plus training workshops and classes.

• Reflective practice has offered the opportunity to develop the necessary professional and interpersonal skills needed to support the trauma of others.

• The mind-set of our community has grown – we are more emotionally available, socially engaged and able to empathise with others whilst (importantly) observing our boundaries.

• Our trauma-informed facilitation creates a supportive space allowing participants to engage with the arts in a healing and empowering way.

• Design and delivery of projects in consultation with a specialist Arts in Health and Wellbeing Consultant has allowed us to make informed decisions and tailor-made projects – for best practise, greater reach and supported systems.

Future

Progressing into our fourth year, we are proud to have further embedded health and wellbeing into Illuminate Productions Ltd. core business though sustained consultancy and support to allow greater reach and more socially engaged care.

Notes to the Financial Statements

The charity is relatively new in its inception and its capacity has been currently limited (growth hindered by the Global Covid 19 Pandemic). The consequence of this meant the projected charity growth arch was also affected and we had reduced capacity for active fundraising.

We have focused on planned and postponed project delivery; our commitment to reach and engage our communities, plus supporting our staff, strategic development and project planning

The appointment of a part time Arts in Health and Wellbeing consultant has allowed us to enrich and align our wellbeing objectives and plan for future years.

A donation of £2,000 was made and we had a £5480 expenditure.

We had 4 people working an average of 10 hours per month.
