| Fofiowing notification in 2021 &om the previous tenant that they did not intend to continue with the lease, the |
Council | made plans to secure | a | new | |||||
| tenant. With the help ofpmperty agents, Fyfe McDade, the Society sourced a new tenant in 2022 in the |
form ofDes Hamilton | Casting Ltd. The | new | ||||||
| lease was signed on05.10.22 and runs for afour-year period wilh atwo-year break clause. | |||||||||
| In reparation for the new tenants taking up msidence, a number oflong-planned impmvements were |
made to the property | in relatice to the | back | ||||||
| yard area, windows, re-painting and electrical updates. |
|||||||||
| The unrestricted income this raises for the SDC is important for the charity to continue to allocate resources |
to enable it to build capacity |
and | |||||||
| in&tistructure as well as develop strategic projects and new partnerships. |

| Marketing, Promotion, and Social Media: |
|||||||||
| The Council have continued to see the importance in this area as ssenatitd to raising our pmfile extenally. Building on our work in 2021, in 2022 |
we | ||||||||
| have continued to scale-up marketing and social media activity to help pmmote the Society and its work, in |
particular | using the Exhibitions | as a | ||||||
| focus. | |||||||||
| Our social media campaign to pmmote the Transformations exhibition at Bankside Gallery pmved successful, |
resulting in |
a boost of engagement | |||||||
| with the public. On Instagiam, we gained 229 new followers between 5th May and 27th June. Over |
the same period, | we gained 39 followers | on | ||||||
| Traffic to the website during the period &om mid-May to mid-June (just ahead ofthe exhiliition) increased |
by 28%, | with | most ofthese | referrals | |||||
| coming &om Facebook/Instugram. | |||||||||
| Additional external support and expertise was enlisted, in the form of consultant, Denise Yeats who |
added | support to the |
Transformations | team | |||||
| given the scale ofthe Exhiliition. Denise worked on aproject basis during the nm-up to the opening ofTransfonnations |
Exhiliition to help boost |
PR, | |||||||
| marketing, the PVs, scopoout potential sponsors and supporters and generally help underpin activity. |
