TIME STEP DANCE
Trustees. Report (continued)
For The Year Ended 31 December 2023
Achievements and Performance
Maln Achlevements
2023 was a both a fabulous and a difficult year for Time Step Dance
We began running HAF sessions on behalf of Sandwell and Dudley Councils in addition to our regular weekly sessions. This
allowed us to bring our services to many more thildren and families ètross the two boroughs.
We also received funding from the"m8king a playable Sandwell" fund where we provided afterschool free play sessions for
farnilie5.
Our standard sessions provided 5tructure5 performing arts and gymnastics for approximately 250 children ￿gUlarly{ Wlth
total reach over 300. These sessions were provided at a low cost to allow children and families on low incomes to access the
sessions and participate in activities they wouldn't ordinarily be able to access due to financial restraints. We kept to the
steady 60% of our participants who ￿SpOnded to us reporting as living on a low income or depending on state benefits as
their main source of income. We also kept steady rate of appmximately 20Vo of the children attending having SEND or
some form of additional needs.
We saw steady Impmvements in children's confidence, self-esteem, fine and gross motor skills as well as much improved
levels of social skills from previous years. The time step cornmunity is building with more farnilies spending time together to
chat in our social spaces. This was highlighted when we had the king s coronation party Whe￿ over 50 families come
together to celebrate the festivities.
Having the regular teacher5 provided by the Reaching communitie5 fund provided a stable space for children and give thern
a trusted adull they can ￿lY on and who Is a positive role model who cam Inspire them to achieve
The HAF (holiday activities and food) programme provides free activities and food for children and young people who
receive income related free school meals. We provided family pantomirnes across Sandwell and Dudley as well as standard
holiday club sessitsns with crafts, sports and activities like the animal man, magic shows etc. We provided 44 individual
sessions with attendance close to 2000 and 3 reach of 1250 children aged 5-16 years. These sessions are designed to
provide these children with a safe welcoming environment where they can play, leam and experience something that thev
wouldn't normally have the chance to. For families it slows time for adults and children to experience fun times together
where they can develop closer farnilial bonds. The pmvision of food helps to relieve the pressure on low income families
who may struggle during the holidays to feed their children as the free school meal provision isn't available
The M3king a Playable Sandwell sessions provide open access free play sessions for Sandwell children and their care givers.
These sessions are designed to build family bonds by encouraging the adults and the children to play together. They also
aim he hÈlp thlldren learn how io plèy together, plèy Imaginatively and to build ènd treate wlthout the use of technology.
These session benefil the young people by encouraging creativity and free thinking. by providing a safe space, by
encouraging 50cialising with other children and building bond5 With their farnily member5.
We pmvided afterschool clubs for a local primary school providing cheerleading and gymnastics sessions twice weekly in
addition to providing the seniors exercise session for"Life in Community-
Once again the children performed at the Christmas light switch on and did a large Christmas show for friends and family
and in addition a stnall group of children performed at the Shape your talent, talent Show organised by Sandwell council
Unfortunatelyi we had to move our maln venue from WMA CFC In September after it came to light that there was some
financial mismanagement there and their future was uncertain. Our primary sessions moved to St Marks Church hall in
Princes end. Whilst this meant that we did lose some of our ￿gUlar children due to the distance and their lack of tTrnsport
it did mean that we gained children from this area that were unable to 3ttend for the same reasons.
This year saw a new project begin within Time Step Dance. The Costume Cabin is a project that evolved from providing
costurnes for our children during shows and them sitting in boxes until the next year. We decided that it would be a great
idea If we could help other organisations with their performance. We took on a small space where we could store costumes
and with donations from other groups including Wolverhampton Youth Theatre we built up a store of dance and drama
costumes in a Trnge of sizes. This year we lent costumes to two primary schools, one dffima club and one secondary
school. We still have a lot of cataloguing to do before it is fully operational but it is an exciting project with lots of potential
Financial Review
Financial P051tion
The amount of money awarded In grants thls flnancial year Is slgniflcantly increased due to the HAF programme and the
increase in the sessions provided. There is also 3 significant portion earned by providing dan￿ and exercise sessions to
other community groups and local schools
Again the reaching communities fund has paid for our teaching staff which has kept us stable across all sessions. We
haven't managed to build up the reserves th8t we had been hoping for however sessions are remaining 3t a steady rate
with a small amount remaining at the end of the financial year
