Achievements and Performance

| 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, Creative Partnerships Beaconsfield created four new mosaics with people of all ages and abilities from the local community. More than 750 people took part. The mosaics fanned out from an existing mosaic at the library, and were grouped together as part of an art trail which can be enjoyed on foot. A map was created with input from other local groups and societies including the Holtspur Scarecrow Trail and the Beaconsfield Historical Society. The result was questions and puzzles that encourage people to observe the mosaics in detail. The trail map also gives historical information on places of interest along the route. It is distributed in places like the library, the station and local cafes. The map was created by a map designer who lives locally. The four new mosaics are situated at the station, a local supermarket, the postal delivery office and a church hall that is used by local groups. The first three feature local birds and the latter another angel, linking the trail to the first mosaics created in 2023. Many local groups took part in workshops to decorate the clay tiles which were then trimmed, glazed and fired by the project artist Maud Milton of Artyface who specialises in community made mosaics. These groups included Alfiston School for special educational needs, Seeleys Overnight Care Home that offers respite for people who have family members with disabilities, patients of the local social prescribing group. Workshops were also organised for key workers on lower incomes including the staff at Waitrose, Royal Mail postmen and women and station staff with Chiltern Rail. All workshops are free and accessible. They are an opportunity for people to come together, learn about mosaics and allow themselves some quiet time to calmly decorate and personalise tiles. The aim of the charity is to bring people out of isolation and impart new skills. Many people comment on how much they enjoy the process and how they like feeling part of a community project. Beaconsfield is a busy commuter town and there is a lack of activities that bring people together. |
