TIA’S CROWN TRUSTEE ANNUAL REPORT

Executive Summary

As written in the constitution Tia ’ s Crown was established, as a Charitable Incorporated Organisation (CIO), for the following purpose:

1. To provide or assist in the provision of facilities in the interests of social welfare for recreation or other leisure time occupation of individuals who have need of such facilities by reason of their youth, age, infirmity or disability, financial hardship or social circumstances with the object of improving their conditions of life, in particular but not exclusively through the provision of workshops and classes in dance.

2. For the public benefit, the promotion and protection of good mental and physical health of individuals with poor physical and mental health in particular but not exclusively through the provision of grants to registered charities.

This report covers the year 30/6/24 -1/7/25 in which the charity has continued to grow and be recognised for its work in supporting mental and physical wellbeing. The charity is slowly extending its recognition within the local community and the wider area. This year has been about linking with other mental health and well being providers.

Our free Let’s dance sessions are slowly evolving and we have continued to extend these sessions into local care homes and mother and baby groups, these have been greatly received by all participants. We have had a dance teacher volunteering to do some sessions which has enabled us to reduce costs.

This report contains the financial accounts for the period as stated in this report.

Chair Statement

We are now into the fourth year of the charity. We have appointed one new trustee who is a mental health practitioner and also have a number of volunteers who are willing to help at our events. This year as chair I have been on reduced duties due to ill health. It has been a great pleasure watching the charity grow and receive recognition in not only in our local area but across the country.

We have continued to develop our links with the local college and once again their students were involved in our main fundraising event, Dance Floor Heroes.

Our ‘Let’s Dance’ sessions are evolving to cover the needs of our local community. In addition to holding sessions with local community groups we are now working with four different residential care homes where we have witnessed an increased boost in the residents’ physical and mental wellbeing.

To accommodate these extra sessions we are now looking to bring more dance teachers in to help with the workload as demand is increasing. This will bring extra costs as payment must be equal to a professionally qualified dance teacher.

Grants have been much harder to acquire this year, but the Trustees gratefully received £250 from TatCon.

On February 26th 2024 the charity held its first volunteer night, we now have a committed team who are determined to continue to raise funds in any way possible and we will continue to apply for grants to help us with our work. This has been a great bonus to the Trustees.

We are very excited about a new venture that Tia’s Crown is about to embark on, The Vital Network and although it is in its early stages it is generating much interest.

About Tia ’ s Crown

Background

From our inception in lockdown, Tia’s Crown has strived to maintain the concept of free dance sessions to support mental health and well being. We are still in our infancy but are now becoming well known not only in our local community, but across the country, as more people have engaged with Dance Floor Heroes heats in different localities.

Tia's Crown was founded to help support mental & physical wellbeing through dance and reaching out to the local community and further afield. We know how dance can affect people’s mental well-being, releasing endorphins and giving a boost. But it’s also about being around others and being made to feel welcome and allowing ourselves to feel enjoyment without being judged.

Achievement

Dance Floor Heroes

As part of our charity programme our main fundraising event continues to be Dance Floor Heroes which this year was held on 20th. June 2025 at the Empress Ballroom, The Winter Gardens, Blackpool. This was the third annual show

To reduce costs the charity held auditions in Blackpool rather than travel around the country. There were concerns that this would reduce the number of applicants but this was not the case. It gave the opportunity for participants to meet new people, to develop their confidence and learn new dance skills. Those lucky to get through then completed a video interview for the final twelve to be picked The 2025 show raised £30000 The show is self-financing from ticket sales and sponsorship. .

It became apparent how participating in the show was supporting the well being of the contestants, not only making dreams come true but giving purpose and focus. The trustees were very aware of how important it was to set up support systems before, during and after the event. The WhatsApp support group is still running. Members of the previous show volunteered to help with this years’ event, all stating how wonderful it was to still be able to support the charity.

The Trustees were thrilled to be the winners of the Blackpools Big Thanks Volunteer led group award on 9/12/24. Our Trustee and creative director Alison Slinger won the Business Person of the year award, although this was not directly for the charity it was a great platform for publicity

Mental Health Awards

On 28th April 2025 Tia’s Crown held their first Mental Health Champions Awards celebrating unsung heroes in the local community that are quietly working away without recognition - celebrating the inspirational. The categories were - Inspirational Event Grass roots Champion Business Champion Educational Impact Champion Long Term Impact Champion Young Community Champion Outstanding Contribution to The Sector Aspirational Individual Champion Charity and Non Profit Award

The event was a great success and this is something the charity is looking forward to continuing .

The Vital Network

This is a new venture and is very much in its infancy. The aim is to bring together mental health and well being providers to develop a cohesive network in the Blackpool and Fylde area thus enabling signposting according to need.

Presently the network holds breakfast meetings, facilitated by Tia’s Crown with a room provided free of charge at Blackpool and Fylde College. Uptake fluctuates, but it has highlighted the amount of different organisations that are in place that have been working in isolation.

To celebrate the work undertaken by others in the community the charity implemented their first awards evening on 26/4/25 to recognise all the hard work undertaken in the community. This was held at Fleetwood football club and generated great support

16 | Registered Charity Number 1195299

TIA’S CROWN TRUSTEE ANNUAL REPORT

We have conducted our accounting procedure in accordance with Auditing Standards and

our examination includes evidence relevant to the amount of disclosures in the financial

statements. Also, to whether the accounting policies are appropriate to the Associations

circumstances, consistently applied and adequately disclosed.

This charity, in common with many others of similar size and organisation derives a substantial proportion of its income from voluntary donations which cannot be fully controlled until they are entered in the accounting records, and are not therefore susceptible to independent audit verification.

Otherwise, we planned and performed our accounting procedure as to obtain all the information and explanations which we consider necessary in order to provide us with

sufficient evidence to give reasonable assurance that the financial statements give a true

and fair view of the state of the associations affairs at 30th June 2025, and of its expenditure

over income for the year then ended.
