Seed Sedgemoor 

Report of the Trustees for the Year Ended 31 March 2023 

The trustees who are also directors of the charity for the purposes of the Companies Act 2006, present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 March 2023. The trustees have adopted the provisions of Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019). 

## **OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES** 

## **Objectives and aims** 

THE OBJECT OF SEED SEDGEMOOR IS TO CARRY OUT ACTIVITIES WHICH ADVANCE PARTICIPATION IN ARTS, CULTURE AND HERITAGE TO THE BENEFIT OF COMMUNITIES WE WORK WITH. We aim to enable more people in our region to actively engage in the creative arts, particularly those who don't usually do so. We seek to remove barriers to participation, offer opportunities for people to engage with the arts, and for the  arts to become a part of their everyday life. We believe everyone is creative and can benefit from opportunities to explore and develop their creativity. 

We believe that arts, culture and creativity are not elite activities, but should be an ordinary part of everyday life,  created by, with and for the people, responding to their imagination and reflecting the things that are important to the communities of Sedgemoor. 

All of the activities undertaken by Seed will contribute to the overall purpose of growing new opportunities for people living or working in Sedgemoor to participate, create and celebrate through creative arts, culture and heritage activities. 

We work with a consortium of organisations who represent local communities and stakeholder groups, providing leadership and oversight of our activities, in order to help ensure that our programme is genuinely community led and directed. 

Our development methodology comprises four overlapping stages: 

Plough - This is our meeting, listening and research phase. We recruit Sowers and Growers from local communities,  who take on the joint roles of representing their communities, connecting us to others and advocating for creative arts and culture. We identify what new opportunities communities we work with actually want to see, and work with them to prioritise and ensure the ground is ready for the next phase. 

Sow - This is where we catch and store energy. This phase is about inspiration, offering participants the opportunity to share and make the most of the knowledge and skills they will often have in abundance, and providing for the development of new skills and ideas. We commission artists to work with the community in direct response to the  needs, issues and interests identified in the plough stage. Sowers and Growers take the lead in assessing the proposals we receive to ensure the commissions address their needs and interests. 

Grow - Commissioned activities from the plough stage take root and take on new, sustainable forms. Events may be restaged or even become annual, but they will always evolve and change in response to the communities we partner  with as they increase their level of co-creation and ownership of them. In the grow stage we also challenge our artists and community participants to challenge themselves, increase their ambition and strive for the next level, whatever that  may be. 

Yield - In this final development stage, we will see a realisation of creative arts and cultural life moved to the centre of community life, the learning and legacy created, the social enterprises established and a plan for future sustainability in place. We trust that the cycle can continue without the same level of intervention. 

We also Value the Margins where we recognize that many things that contribute to the creative and cultural life of Sedgemoor take place beyond the focus, reach and scope of our activities. Where possible we will contribute to enabling conditions that enable them to thrive and develop further, building capacity and encouraging awareness and engagement with them across the community. 

The charity website www.seedsedgemoor.com is regularly updated with our current projects and an archive of past work. 

## **Public benefit** 

The trustees confirm that they have complied with the requirements of Section 4 of the Charities Act 2011 to have due regard to the public benefit guidance published by the Charity Commission for England and Wales.

for the Year Ended 31 March 2023 

## Report of the Trustees 

## **ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE** 

## **Charitable activities** 

The year ending March 2023 has been Seed Sedgemoor's busiest year to date putting local people at the centre of creating the kind of arts they want to see in their communities. Seed continues to seek out those who have not previously been involved in arts projects, and provides new opportunities to create, participate and celebrate and support Sedgemoor's increasingly creative community. Our 28 projects this year represents a two-fold increase since our beginnings under the auspices of Somerset Film in 2021. These activities reached nearly 7,000 participants and more than 120,000 audience engagements. 

Our outdoor live music events saw Clashmob return to Bridgwater and grow into an ongoing participation group. We brought Sounds of the Streets, Jubilee celebrations and the Front Garden Music Festival to various locations across Sedgemoor during the year, each activity bringing music to the doorstep of new audiences. 

We asked the question What If? and the people of Sedgemoor provided the responses and worked with our artists to create an exhibition of art and poetry which we installed in advertising spaces including on the side of buildings and local transport. A programme of winter illuminations took the next ambitious step from domestic settings through light parades to high-street displays. We commissioned the Burnham-on-Sea Life mosaic, which is a new permanent  landmark enhancing the seawall. 

A glowing independent evaluation of Seeds first commissions in Highbridge shows how Seed is enabling more and  more people in Sedgemoor to take part in and enjoy the creative arts. Our projects are bringing people together and creating works that are both authentic and ambitious. The Nornen project started as a community generated story and is being developed for the Stage, Blues in the Pews is cementing St Johns Church as an emerging arts hub, Highbridge's Youth Theatre and Art collaborations are stretching the skills and imagination of the next generation of performance artists. 

Following consultation events in our second focus area - Cheddar, Axbridge and the Polden Hills, Seed commissioned 8 new community projects that are bringing a creative buzz to the area. These include regular participation groups in activities ranging from working with clay to making theatre or music, as well as high quality professional performances and artworks in unfamiliar locations., with more to follow in 2023-24. 

We will also begin shifting our focus towards Bridgwater in the coming year, with a number of exciting activities with new partners already in the planning and research and development stages. 

## **FINANCIAL REVIEW** 

## **Financial position** 

In 2022 the Seed management team secured £377,778 funding for the Creative People and Places programme from  Arts Council England until 2025. These accounts reflect year one of a three year programme of activity. 

The Seed Sedgemoor lead consortium member Homes in Sedgemoor is the named recipient for these funds. Incoming resources into the CIO were £274,137 of which £273,137 related to unrestricted funds and £1,000 to restricted funds. 

Resources expended amounted to £328,137 of which £306,387 was from unrestricted funds and £21,750 from  restricted funds. The balance held on general unrestricted funds at the end of the year was £920 and the balance held on  designated unrestricted funds was £10,000.

## Report of the Trustees 

## **PLANS FOR FUTURE PERIODS** 

## **Aims and key objectives for future periods** 

The charity is committed to consolidating its delivery in key areas and to growing engagement and audiences in Sedgemoor. To do this, we need to not only extend our reach but maintain the quality and depth of engagement in our work. 

As an action research project, this will require us to simultaneously focus on continuing our community consultation work and delivering projects in response to our findings, while we review, evaluate and learn from those experiences. 

## We will continue to deliver these five programmes of activity: 

## Hub Development 

We will work simultaneously in five hub areas in the coming year. 

Highbridge will consolidate its position through the Grow phase, with a group called the Highbridge Arts Collective forming from the artists, community organisers and Sowers and Growers active in the area taking an increasingly autonomous role in planning and delivering activities. 

Cheddar, Axbridge and the Polden Villages will complete their Sow Phase and start to move into the Grow phase in  the second half of the year with a second round of commissions to be undertaken. 

In Bridgwater we will begin with the Plough phase prior to preparing for expressions of interest for Sow Commissions to be undertaken near the end of the financial year. this will include establishing base line participation levels through quantitative research and recruiting Bridgwater based Sowers and Growers. 

## Grass Roots Programme 

We will undertake our action research activities in Bridgwater including Creative Accelerator sessions and our 2023 Town Hall meeting which took place in Bridgwater in March. We have undertaken a Bridgwater wide survey to gauge the level of current cultural engagement in Bridgwater. We will release a report underpinning our direction in Bridgwater.  This will feed directly into new activities in the area across 2023 and 2024. 

Our covid-19 delayed Go See/Come Try programme will be finalised and rolled out this year. We will also begin to identify the key contacts and community partners in the new areas of focus for 2024-5. 

## Green Shoots Programme 

We are thrilled to be providing the venue for the 2024 National Creative People and Places Gathering in Bridgwater in 2024. We will work to identify opportunities for local artists, Sowers and Growers and other supporters to have a role with developmental outcomes for them. 

We will look to build capacity among our local artists and community organisers through a 'Meet the Funders' session, encouraging them to identify and approach funders independent of Seed. 

## Tall Timbers Programme 

In response to demand from the community, Our Front Garden Music Festival will take place across Sedgemoor again  in June 2023. This time around we will move out from pub gardens with an increased focus on larger public spaces and we will further increase the musical and cultural diversity of the programme (including increasing the number and profile female performers), inviting more high-quality artists from outside Sedgemoor to perform. We will expand to new locations and scale up the event in our new focus location of Bridgwater, with a full scale production stage and high quality headline act. Local committees will take the lead role in finalising the programming for venues in their area, and in the more developed locations will take the lead int eh on the ground delivery of the event. 

In response to feedback and demand from the community, we will work with Burnham-On-Sea and Highbridge Town Council to identify ways of financially supporting further commissions for the Sea Wall public artwork. 

We will scope and develop a High Street Creative Takeover project in response to consultation findings that the loss of places to meet, gather and take part in activities in the Bridgwater High Street is a major issue. We will ensure that at least one very high-quality artist with a national profile takes part in our High Street Popup activity.

## Report of the Trustees 

## for the Year Ended 31 March 2023 

Those Sow activities in Axbridge, Cheddar and the Polden Villages that are developing into ongoing activities will be considered for a further commission under our Grow phase. This will include activities that will further develop these projects in regards to their viability, sustainability and artistic achievement. 

Activities in those locations and in Highbridge already in the Grow phase that have further possibilities for growth and development will be recommissioned where we an identify developmental improvements or ideas to reach new audiences and participants. 

Our successful 'Clashmob'/Bridgwater Guitar and Bass group project will continue, with increasing opportunities for development and performance including showcases at Front Garden Music Festival, Quayside Festival and the 2024 National CPP Gathering. 

We will build on our successful Creative Conversations project with a new outreach focused co-creation activity targeting loneliness in rural parts of Sedgemoor.
