Achievements and Performance

	SORP reference
Summary of the main achievements of the charity, identifying the difference the charity’s work has made to the circumstances of its beneficiaries and any wider benefits to society as a whole.	Para 1.20	During this period, CPB successfully launched the mosaic project across Beaconsfield. The result was the creation of three large public artworks made to the highest industry standards by leading mosaicist Maud Milton. More than 1,500 local people of all ages and abilities were brought on board from infants to the elderly and all ages in between. Many people commented on how they appreciated being included in this community project because there is nothing else like it for bringing people together out of isolation. It gave people a lift to their self-confidence and a boost to their well-being knowing their contribution would be on display for perpetuity alongside lots of different people from the town. The artworks are dedicated to our key workers who served us selflessly during the Covid 19 pandemics as well as paying tribute to the way people of Beaconsfield pull together during difficult times. NHS staff from our local doctor surgeries were involved as well as the entire year 8 of a secondary school and year 6 of a primary school. The workshops were free and accessible; taking place in libraries, medical centres, schools, nurseries and elderly people care homes. These three mosaics have ignited ongoing support and interest in the mosaics, paving the way for more to be made and more people to bring on board, releasing new skills into the area. A further result is an increased sense of cohesion as artworks are now on permanent display in different parts of the town.
