Summary of the Para 1.17 ‘To advance in life and help young
purposes of the charity people in Great Yarmouth and the
as set out in its surrounding areas through: (a) The
governing document provision of recreational and leisure
time activities in the arts and heritage
provided in the interest of social
welfare, designed to improve their
conditions of life; (b) Providing
support and arts and heritage
activities which develop their skills,
capacities and capabilities to enable
them to participate in society as
mature and responsible individuals’
Summary of the main Para 1.17 and The period covered by this report saw
1.19
activities in relation to major impacts from Covid 19 across
those purposes for the the arts, heritage and education
public benefit, in sectors which determined how
particular, the activities, Creative Collisions was able to
projects or services operate. Schools, colleges, museums
identified in the and arts venues were closed for
accounts. significant periods due to national
lockdowns and once opened were
operating under restrictive Covid
safety procedures. Despite these
challenges Creative Collisions was
able to continue operating using
digital technology when required to
run activities for young people online.
Much of the activity during this period
was shaped by the involvement of
Creative Collisions in two major
projects as a consortium partner
organisation. The Norfolk – Kick the
Dust Project is funded by the National
Lottery Heritage fund (£745,500). It is
led by Norfolk Museums Service
working in partnership with Creative
Collisions, YMCA and Norfolk Libraries
and Information Service. This
**----- End of picture text -----**
ambitious project aims to transform and expand the ways in which young people can engage with their local heritage through a structured programme of one-off workshops, regular group activities, work experience and participation in museum exhibition and display development groups. Young people shape the programme and are involved in the project steering group. Creative Collisions has run regular groups as part of this project including a National Saturday Art & Design Club and Make Yarmouth– a weekly workshop which works closely with youth workers from Prospects/The Shaw Trust to provide positive creative activities for young people in need of support. Our Young Communicators Yarmouth - media group for 16-25yrs olds- opted to change their name to Creative Minds. Young people have been able to exhibit their work at the Time and Tide Museum in Great Yarmouth and online via museum blogs and the NMS Google Arts platform. Eight young people achieved Arts Awards at Bronze or Silver level. During this period two young people with a long association with Creative Collisions projects were also appointed as Norfolk Museums Service _Teaching Museum_ trainees. Amber Doxy and Kelly West joined the service for 18 month paid internships embedded with the Norwich Castle Display team and Time and Tide Museum exhibitions team respectively. We were also able to support the development of another _Teaching Museum_ trainee, Larissa Lourie, who worked with the Learning and Youth Engagement team based at the Time and Tide Museum. Finance for the Kick the Dust project is handled by Norfolk Museums Service so is not included in the Creative Collisions finance report for this period. Creative Collisions is also a consortium partner for the Voluntary Norfolk led _Freshly Greated_ project. Other Consortium partners are Out There Arts, Jays UK LTD and Great Yarmouth Borough Council. This four-year project has received £1.1m of National Lottery funding as part of Arts Council England’s Creative People & Places

programme. Freshly Greated aims to
increase engagement with the arts
among groups of people who are
currently least likely to get involved
as either audiences or creators.
Creative Collisions led an extensive
consultation process with young
people to inform the development of
the initial programme of activities. We
also helped to recruit project staff and
a group of young people to form a
Young Producers group which is
involved in developing and promoting
project activities. During this period
Creative Collisions received no
funding from this project.
Statement confirming Para 1.18 In planning our activities for the year

out about careers in heritage and
creative industries. We welcome
young people from all backgrounds
and work with partner organisations
