Highlightèd Projècts
Spring= The Batley Mural Project was born out of an idea by local businesses in partnership with Redbrick Mill Artists
Collective. The company secured funds through Kirklees Council 's heART your town. project, which supported the
opening LJP of town centres in the sutllrner of 2021, to develop new public art works in key locations acro55 the town.
The Joy Project.. was the first commission,. through a series ol workshops young people were inspired by artist
Emmeline North to create their own designs using block printing and pattern to create an exhibition on the concourse
al B8tley Raihvay station. Their work influenoed and sat alongside Ernrneline's own striking painting that fills the
ndow and door panels at the station. The artist worked wth the group of boys in their school, taking the architecture
of 8atley as a therne. Thi5 was the first pr8Ctical creative activity they had engaged in in 2 years due to lockdown. Their
teachers comrnented repeatedly on how much the boys were enjoying the sessions and appreciating the opportunity to
engage practically in arts activity inspired by their town. The inspiration they took Iiom this was evident in the quality of
their own paintings and their excilernenl lo sh8re their work publicly.
The work was 18un¢hed wlh 8 day of adivity including a lour of the artwork ft>r local schoo15 and tnusic from The Ski
Band.
Well Connected.. As a consortiurll member of the Thriving Communities project. led by Kirklees Third Sector Leaders.
we developed and delivered a range of new creative opportunities to support social prescribing, and enhance
opportunities for people experiencing 50ci81 isolation after COVID..

inners." Women of South Asian heritage joined these weekly women-only sessions in our workshop
space in the centre of Dew5bury. They were keen lo learn new slilches and there was clear progression in their skills
week by week. They made the space their home and were inspired to embroider their own letters to create the word
UNION 8$ 8 gift lo the building.
-Writin
foi Well-bein
. Women who had written in the past joined the sessions because they had been finding It
difficult lo find the inspiration and desire to write again. They used the sessions to relax and talk about their writing
projects and took prompts home that inspired them and unlocked their writing.
-Dro
in and Do.. The participants in these craft sessions used different tools and equipment and were inspired to
create items that were either useful or giftable. They were deady proud of their creations as they weie looking forward
to gifting them to family and friends. The majority of partiapanls told us they didnl usually engage with arts activities.
and feedback from the venue was that the users of their facilities are often are on lower incomes and so have fewer
opportunities to engag8 in cultur81 activity.
OUT Place.. with Kirklees Cultural Education Partnership'Evoke' for the Children's Art Biennale
Through a series of workshops children and young people created an exhibition in the windows of a 'meanwhile space'_
a foirnei shop unit- In the centie of Dewsbury. Thi5 was presented throughout a week and included 2 day5 of activity at
the weekend with live music and chalk painting to create a giant pavement artwork. The artists developed an ideas
pack and provided materials and guidance for each child to create their own miniature model from recycled materials,
of a place they had missed during lockdown. As well as activity during dass lime, children took their models home
during half tem to work on them and family members joined in. They also produced a piece of creative wrrting on why
they had chosen it. The different models, including a rerycling plant, houses, schools, restauiant5. mosques, were all
brought together to create a 3D miniature townscape. A selection ol models and writings were included in a
publication distributed to those who took part. Children We￿ inspired to create something new from the theme and this
was evident in the qu81ity of their models 8nd creative writing.
Friendship Through Puppets= A partnership with refuge arts and Holocaust remembrance charity 6Million+
Through a series of workshops refugees, students, artists and local people created a parade took place in Dewsbury
and Balley town Trnlies. It fealuied seven giant Weeping Sisters puppets rernetmbering the lives lost in the Holocaust
and other genoades around the world. Together the group was inspired tocreate a new Syrian sister for the parade
and learn new street perfomance skills induding stilt walking and puppet operation to tell these vital stories. The
inspiration was clear in their determination to conquer new skills and perforrn in a public arena. Participants often
joined this project because they had a connection with the subject matter with many from Syrian, Bosnian and Kurdish
backgrounds. Some have their own arts practice. often music, from their culture that they don't often get th8 chance to
share wth others. Others are new to creative activities, particularfy since entering the UK as they don't know how to
access activities or feel uncomfortable travelling to unknown places.

Over the year throughout lockdown5, the BANK collective of Kirklees artists committed to being cieative. They carne
together over Zoom each week, to create a small piece of art, explore new mediurns and experiment with different
techniques, coupled with the freedom to be expiessive and creative. With diverse specialisms within the group, the
range of inspirations, experiences and moments of creative spark. rnernbers rediscovered the element of surprise in

## **Independent examiner's statement** 

Since your charity's gross income exceeded £250,000 your examiner must be a member of a listed body. I can confirm that I am qualified to undertake the examination because I am a registered member of ICAEW which is one of the listed bodies. 

I have completed my examination. I confirm that no matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe: 

1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the Company as required by Section 386 of the 2006 Act; or 2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or 

3. the accounts do not comply with the accounting requirements of Section 396 of the 2006 Act other than any requirement that the accounts give a true and fair view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination; or 

4. the accounts have not been prepared in accordance with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice for accounting and reporting by charities (applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102)). 

I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
