To advance the education of children and autistic children up to the age
of seven. To enhance speech, language attainment and global
development through engagement through the arts in all it’s forms
To relieve the needs of autistic children and their families by providing
activities for parents and carers and the opportunity to engage in the arts
in all it’s forms which they may not otherwise have access to.
_To advance the education of children and autistic children up to the age_
_of seven. To enhance speech, language attainment and global_
_development through engagement through the arts in all it’s forms_
We have been focussing on building relationships. We have worked with:
Bromley Mencap
Bromley Children’s Services
Bromley Young Carers
Bromley Autism Beyond
Various individuals
Activites include offering provision to families with autistic children in our
venue, where families can meet, swap information and get relevant
support, as well as experience tailored provision for the children: this is a
service that is lacking in the area, both in terms of contact, and space to
run activities, meeting our public benefit to provide for families and offer
attainment raising arts activities.
We have also been consulting with children’s services on how the charity
might bridge the gap between what is currently offered by the council and
what is needed for early years in the community. From this consultation,
a clearer roadmap has been made for fundraising: in this way we can
offer a service to provide attainment boosting arts that otherwise would
be absent to their clients.| |---|---| ## **Additional details of objectives and activities (Optional information)** **TAR** March **2012** 3 We have, so far, been entirely volunteer lead. This has largely been about needing more trustees, and there is also a hurdle that must be jumped before initial funding lets us hire in staff to further advance funding options. We are about to receive further rates relief from Bromley Council – this means incoming donations can be used to propel our first funding round through consultation and potentially, hire. You **may choose** to include further statements, where relevant, about: - policy on grantmaking; - policy programme related investment; - contribution made by volunteers. ## Section D Achievements and performance **TAR** March **2012** 4 ## Section D Achievements and erformance p **Summary of the main achievements of the charity during the year** This year we have focussed on building relationships with the community, through consultations with individuals, and through consultation with partners. It became clear on submitting our first grant application that we were being too ‘’top down’’. While there is clearly a great need in the community we serve for our services, and there is a great need in Early Years for our services nationally, there is still the need to consult with the community and directly make contact with entities in order to be sure that we are appropriately delivering projects we intend to grant make for, and that we are effectively serving a need in the community through that consultation. However, it is also apparent that there are a lot of entities, like other charities and the council, who want us to provide services, but who can’t pay for them: this means we would be in an impossible position, as the grant making we have found indicates we can’t raise funds for third party projects in this way. However, it does also signpost the need for projects, and has created optimism that we can find appropriate funding bodies to approach independently. At present, we feel we must focus on recruitment and continue to run free events lead by voluntary service until we have more trustees to offer oversight and ensure compliance. **TAR** March **2012** 5 ## **Section E Financial review** The charity aims to keep £1000 in reserves. This reserve acts as a fund **Brief statement of the** that can potentially cover any minor building works that may arise, or any **charity’s policy on reserves** other related maintenance issues associated with having a venue. **Details of any funds materially in deficit** NA ## **Further financial review details (Optional information)** You **may choose** to include additional information, where relevant about: - the charity’s principal sources of funds (including any fundraising); The charity has in these first years, focussed on understanding more fully how it can serve the community through volunteer-lead activities. Principal funding has come from donations, that have been suggested to those who use our venue to run events that are in concord with our ethos, such as baby massage and yoga, offering well being for mothers and babies. Any expenditure has been on building upkeep, such as insurance payments and reduced rates payments. - how expenditure has supported the key objectives of the charity; - investment policy and objectives including any ethical investment policy adopted. ## **Section F Other optional information** It has been much more challenging to bring people in to help the charity grow than we had anticipated, but there is a solid foundation now of contacts and understanding of the community in which we sit. This should allow us to more effectively grant make for projects. ## **Section G Declaration** **The trustees declare that they have approved the trustees’ report above.** **Signed on behalf of the charity’s trustees** **Signature(s) Full name(s)** Mhairi Grealis **Position (eg Secretary, Chair, etc)** Corina Smiles **TAR** March **2012** 6 Dale 18.
