CHARITY 10 INFORMATION

Zoie Golding MBE Chair of Trustees

Message from the Chair

I was honored to take up the role of Chair this year, following on from such amazing work prior, I really felt like I was stepping into an organisation with a clear purpose, drive and vision for what they wanted to achieve. The last year has been a journey of embedding, growing and learning. We realised our ambition to open our home The Totton Creative hub that has seen over 400 visitors, 125 events, and 735 participants in the last year.

Taking on a new building is always a learning curve and we have ensured that being relevant and in service to our local community in Totton has led and been key to building a strong reputation, support, spirit and interest in our work. Strategic work has taken place looking into the future of what sustainability looks like for Fluid Motion and The Creative Hub. Alongside new partnerships within the heath and well being sector, reinforcing our core values of what Fluid Motion is here to do, by improving lives through theatre and creativity.

The artistic programme is continuing to grow and constantly being informed by the local community, which is a vital part of our plans to truly embed ourselves within the region and provide high quality creative experiences. The company is going from strength to strength, yet there is still a lot to do to ensure that in these challenging financial times we can continue to flourish and build stability. I am looking forward to what the next year holds and the pleasure of working with such a skilled and dedicated team.

Our Four Pillars of Creative Community Health

Strengthening Family Wellbeing through connection, creativity, and early years development.

Improving the mental health of children and young people

and helping them build skills to thrive in life.

CREATIVE COMMUNITY HEALTH

Creating inclusive spaces

for joyful community connection and cultural participation.

Promoting active lifestyles through creativity

as a foundation for better physical and mental health.

Objectives and Activities

Fluid Motion is an award-winning arts and health charity. We exist to harness the power of theatre and creativity to improve mental health and wellbeing. The company was founded in 2010 by Leigh Johnstone and Ali Gill, both of whom experienced poor mental health as children and this grounds our work in lived experience.

Our vision is that anyone, especially those who might not traditionally engage with the arts, can experience the transformative impact of creativity on their wellbeing.

We create ‘lightbulb moments’, where individuals discover how the arts can help them feel better, connect with others, and build resilience.

ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE

The past year has been one of the most significant in our history. In May 2024 we moved into the Totton Creative Hub, creating a visible, accessible, and welcoming space in the heart of the high street.

This was more than a change of venue, it was the beginning of a transformation in the scale and depth of our work.

For the first time, we have been able to offer a year-round programme of creative activity under one roof, a safe and supportive space where children, young people, and families can thrive.

now use the hub on a is the average age range of weekly basis. participants.

Reaching more children and young people

In our first ten months at the hub we welcomed over 634 children and young people through our doors. Many came for the very first time, discovering that creativity could help them feel better, less isolated, and more confident. Around 59 young people now use the hub weekly as their safe, regular space to learn, make friends, and find support.

Engagement has been strongest with children aged 6–13, who make up the majority of participants, but through targeted work such as the Youth Ambassadors programme, we are beginning to engage older young people who are often hardest to reach.

A PROGRAMME THAT MEETS DIVERSE NEEDS

Messy Makers

Our weekly creative drop-ins ‘Messy Makers’ have become our most popular activity, acting as the gateway into other strands of our programme. On average, 18 children and young people take part each week, using arts and crafts to explore wellbeing themes and build confidence with our expert mixed media artist Jacky.

Youth Theatre

Our youth theatre has grown, providing young people with a platform to perform and develop resilience through teamwork. In 2024–25, the group staged two public performances, one at the Totton Lantern Parade and the other in the high street outside our hub, attracting local audiences and showcasing the impact of sustained creative development.

Flourish

We ran two blocks of our Flourish course in 2024 to children and young people aged between 7-18. Flourish is our multi week programme for children and young people that uses drama and storytelling to help boost confidence, self-esteem, and mental wellbeing. We worked with 24 children aged 7-13 over five weeks in June 2024 and then 12 young people aged 13-18 over eight weeks in July. One young person said ‘ I have learnt to be more confident in myself and be proud of who I am'

Pet Therapy

We piloted a drop in creative group therapy session in partnership with Pets as Therapy. Volunteer Sarah and therapy dog Roger provided a friendly blend of conversational support and light touch arts activity for children, young people and their adults which ran every two weeks between November 2024 and June 2025.

Holiday Activities

One important part of our programme was providing free or affordable activities for children in the holidays. We understood from parents that there was a lack of high quality, accessible holiday activities in the area and it was something that they felt we could offer.

We ran ‘Create Your Own Animation’ a week of stop motion animation skills with professional film and toy art maker. Young people made their own clay characters, developed their storyline and then created an animated film. The activity took place in the summer of 2024 engaging with 10 children.

In October half term 2024 we worked with a costume designer who delivered ‘Make Your Own Outfit' to 9 young people. They took part in a range of sessions from drawing their design, visiting local charity shops to hunt for materials, using a sewing machine and tie dying.

We partnered with Totton based professional music studio Riverside Studios in February half term 2025 for a week of ‘Make your Own Music Track’. Working with songwriters, musicians and sound engineers, 4 young people got the chance to create their own song from scratch.

EMBEDDING YOUTH VOICE

Being part of the Youth Ambassadors has completely changed how I see myself. I’ve gone from being someone who wouldn’t speak up in class to someone helping lead projects and performances for the community.

Youth-led events doubled this year

100% of Ambassadors said they feel more confident

Young people designed our new website

Youth Ambassadors

Our Youth Ambassadors group, which we started in May, have been meeting monthly and has been another major achievement. Ambassadors have shaped exhibitions, codesigned activities, and designed our new website. Their voices now guide key decisions, ensuring our programme remains youth-led and relevant.

Looking ahead, we will build on this success by broadening representation within the group to ensure it reflects the full diversity of our community, offering accredited pathways such as Arts Award to recognise leadership skills, and increasing their responsibility for curating events and exhibitions.

Ambassadors will also take on peer-to-peer engagement in schools and youth groups, benefit from mentorship with trustees and visiting artists, and begin contributing directly to governance through structured links with our board.

By 2026, our ambition is to have 16 active Ambassadors driving key strands of the programme, ensuring youth voice is not just heard but embedded at the heart of everything we do.

TRYING NEW APPROACHES

Exhibition Space

One major focus for this period was to test ways of using our shop front location and the window onto the high street to engage more people and drive visitors into our hub, who may then engage in other parts of our programme. We decided to launch a rolling programme of exhibitions that reflected elements of our work, a range of artforms and our community.

Our first exhibition ‘Memories of Totton’ was a partnership with St Barbe Museum in Lymington and brought together a collection of 20th and 21st Century pictures of Totton to show the history of the town.

This was a hugely popular exhibition and attracted over 270 people within the month it was up. Other exhibitions have included ‘Mini Masterpieces’ in partnership with Acorns Pre School and ‘Youth Voices’, a celebration of the musical creativity of local young people.

FAMILIES AND COMMUNITY IMPACT

Our programme has always been about more than the individual child, it is about strengthening families and communities. In 2024–25, families joined together for intergenerational craft clubs, holiday programmes with lunch provided. These events drew hundreds across the year into shared creative experiences, reducing isolation and creating lasting community pride.

Parents regularly tell us how vital the hub is in supporting them. One mother shared:

When my daughter and I found the Creative Hub, it felt like a relief. As a single mum, it’s hard to find things she can do after school, most clubs cost more than I can afford.

Knowing these activities were free meant we could join in. The hub arranged youth theatre and even counselling with a bursary. She’s happier now, lighter. It’s more than a club; it’s a community that truly cares.

FINANCIAL REVIEW

Review of the charity’s financial position at the end of the period.

As at the balance sheet date unrestricted reserves stood at £22,884 77,091 (2023 - £77,091), of which £5,384 (2023 - £59,591) is held as designated by the Trustees in accordance with the policy below. Where grants are received in respect of a specified project, all income and related expenditure is treated as part of restricted reserves. The accumulated restricted reserves at the balance sheet date were £57,242 (2023- £41,291).

Designated Fund Note: The designated fund for 2023 - 2024 was allocated to rent, legal fees and overhead costs for the new Creative Support Hub that opened in Totton in May 2024 these funds were spent within the 2024-25 financial year. The small designated fund of £5,384 is made up of income from the Theatre Tax relief claim for the 2024- 2025 period and has been set aside to contribute towards rent for the Totton Hub for the financial year 20252026.

Reserves

It is the policy of the company to maintain free reserves at a level which balances our objectives to develop and support services with our need to remain financially stable.

The Trustees agree and will work towards acquiring a minimum level of free reserves equating to at least four months of unrestricted expenditure which is considered sufficient to cover management, administration and support costs and to respond to emergency needs which arise from time to time. In addition, there is also a need to designate certain sums from free reserves for anticipated expenditure in the short to medium term.

Free reserves currently stand at £17,500 and equate to approximately 4 weeks of running costs.

At the point of writing this report we are feeling some financial pressures from a reduction in grants and donations. We have put an action plan in place which is being closely monitored by the Trustees and Management Team.

STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT

Governing Document

The charity is controlled by its governing document, a deed of trust, and constitutes a limited company, limited by guarantee, as defined by the Companies Act 2006.

Recruitment and appointment of new trustees

Trustees are recruited through an open call out to ensure that we reach a wide and diverse audience. Applicants have to formally apply by either written or video application together with a curriculum vitae. Applicants are selected in conjunction with the aims of the charity and their suitability to fit the roles that we require to be filled. The selected applicant is then invited to have an informal meeting with the Chair of Trustees, a Trustee and the Executive and Artistic Director. Following this meeting if the applicant deems suitable they are then invited to attend a board meeting as an observer. The current Board then discusses whether they wish to invite the applicant to join the Board and a formal offer is then made subject to relevant checks being carried out successfully.

Risk management

The trustees have a duty to identify and review the risks to which the charity is exposed and to ensure appropriate controls are in place to provide reasonable assurance against fraud and error. The risk register is reviewed quarterly as a minimum by the Trustees.
