We have created and supported national networks to address kev challenge5 around represelltation and contribute to creating a more inclusive workforce within the art5 and cultural sector.

"TIN Arts chrjnged my life. givin9 me confi'dence ond community I never had before.~ Dance can be vital and life-changing f(>r people with learning disabilities or who are autistic, groups that remain dramatically underserved both locally and nationally. Nationally, there are low levels of representation of people with lived experience of disability with only 9% of the dance workforce disabled compaied to 24% of wider 50ciety IArts Council England, 20241. Regionally, there is less opportunity for people with disabilitr'es to dance.. l in 5 young people has a Special Educational Need or Disability yet only IO% of cultural or8ani5ations offer tailored programmes to meet those needs. Dance opportunities for children and young people are dominated by the private sector where inclusion and access 3re low on the agenda with focus placed on learning set movement as opposed to offering a creative space for self-expre5sion. The North East receives some of the lowest grant funding in support of Cultural activities in comparison to other regions across England. County Ourham also has high levels of poverty, and a limited publTrc transport infrastructure compa red to the nakn'onal picture.. An estimated 27.2% of children live in relative poverty with 23.3% of children under the age of 19 living in absolute poverty, higher than the national absolute poverty level of 19%. 31.9% of pupils are eligible for free school meals. Nationally this is 24.6%. County Durham is predominantly a rural area with limited provision of leisure and cultural opportunities, exacerbated by poor public transport infrastructure. People with disabilities are left without structured cfeative outlets, de5Plte clear evidence that regular dance parh¢ip3tion can reduce anxiety, improve communication skills, and create a sense of belonging. TIN Art5 bridges these unmet needs, ensuring that everyone, regardless of ability, has access to dance. OUR IMPACT We welcome everyone who wants to take part, cre3ting connections through dance and play that boost conlidence and belonging. We're proud to be active members of local and natr'onal arts and culture networks, sharing inclusive practice alongside partners who share our values. Through the work that we do. our aim is to improve the representation of people with disabilities in the dance sector. Since 2023 TIN Art5 has received a significant uplift in core funding from Arts Council England in recognition of the meaningful change we're creating regionally and nationally. TIN ARTS LIMITED TRUSTEE REPORT (INCLUDING DIREcfoRS' REPORTI ICONTINUEDI FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH2025 We have a highly skilled team of artists trained in inclusion and access, and our provision has a Strong reputation region311y.

They are supported to find their'creative voice through movement,. at Our Talent Development Programmes seek to address the low representation of disabled people in dance and have changed who gets seen and supported in dance, resulting in disabled artists being employed as workshop facilitators and performers as part of the TIN Arts team. Our activities are low-cost compared to other dance class programmes operatr'ng regionally and nationally and we operate a h"nancial support fund that children, young people and families can apply to, so no one misses Out because of cost. Our core programme is enriched by a range of outreach and targeted programmes, so that wherever you live in County Durham, dance feels within reach.

However, the largest barrier TIN Arts faces is the space we have available to US to deliver our programme5. The challenges of our current location We know people with a learning disability or who are autistic are 4 limes more likely to experience loneliness, leading to poor mental health and even impactt'ng physical health. Our work improves wellbeing, building people's self-worth and we want to be able tts offer our activitr'es to everyone who wants to be part of our TIN community. However, we currently operate from a single dance studio and three offices in Framwellgate Moor in Durham and our current building presents challenge5 for us.. For every dancer who's proud to be part of the TIN community, who comes every week to grow and shine with us, there 15 someone we can't accommodate,. someone being made to wait on a list. We are a community that welcomes everyone, but we are unable to include everyone who needs us because we do not have the space. Some of our dancers have taken part in our classes for many years but we strLJggle to adapt and de￿loP new programmes to meei their changing needs as they move through different life stages because of the lack of physical space. We need to hire other community and cultural venues to try and meet the ever-growing demand for our activities which is expensive and logistr'cally challenging. Some part5 of our current base are accessible to all whilst other parts are not. As a rented space, we have limited control and cannot Confidently plan long term.. we are left with the option to stay and stagnate or leave.

TIN ARTS LIMITED TRUSTEE REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS, REPORll ICONTINUEDI FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025 Next steps to making the move We are rnaking great progre55 in making this transformative opportunity a realitv.. In lune 2025 planning permission was granted for the changes we want to make to the building. The planning permission expires after 3 years from the date it was granted. One of the conditions of taking ownership of the building is reaching a fundraising target by ear january 2027 of £135,000 for the first phase to refurbish the building. we have secured nearly 70% of thi5 fundraising target set. This lirst phase of building works will make the necessary internal and external refurbishments to make the building legally complianl, accessible and with spaces suitable for use as dance studios. It is part of a larger plan of refurbishment that we hope to undertake over a longer period of 2-5 years. There is still lots of work to do before we can move from our current Ioc3ti0n in Framwellgate Mo(r. We have already started to consult with our TIN family- our parhcipants, families, stakeholders- at every step in our journey to moving to our own permanent TIN home. Their key lived experience is cruclal. and having their voices heard is vital to the success of the move. We hope by this time next year that we will be able to share more about how well we are progressi￿ in making the move.
