ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANC
Charitable Activities
This financial year all our effort8 have ¢on¢¢ntrated on building on the strong financial base we have put in place over
the past 3 years and sharpening OUT focus on solid corpordte governance. The need for rOb￿t fmancial managem¢nt is
being driven by the increasing costs of overheads and direct expenditur¢ due to inflationary pr¢55ures and al￿v¢ all, the
hikes in energy costs. Good COTporat¢ gov¢rnance 15 Vital if we are to remain Compliant with legislation, be financially
stable, and continue to be trusted by the general public.
We have a well-structured board of trustees with diverse skills and experiences that make infornied decisions in response
to the variety of eh&llenge5, overs¢¢ risks and provide Strategic direction. This year we have engaged a new twslee with
specific ski115 in marketing and social media with the alln of significantly Stren￿ening our visibility and growth. We
are confident Ihat strengthening the board of trustees in this way will help us reach wider communities and increase
income sustainably through new insight, clearer rn¢5saging, brand d¢v¢lopm¢nt and stronger campaigns.
Th¢ fo¢u$ of our n¢w markcting and social media strategy is on people and ¢oinmunity, and the aim is to maintain and
8row our supporter base and audiences along with creating new opportunities for revenue 8rowth and sustoinability.
Great importance is b¢ing given to using so¢ial media to our )dvantag¢. Th¢ Centr¢ is now on Trip Advisor for busin¢$s
early analNics show we are competing well. A new inter8ctive newsletter is being r¢gulaTly distribut¢d, and plans
are at an advanced stage to renew our web site to make it visually attractive and easily navigated.
The n¢w Staff structur¢ h85 s¢ttl¢d into an effectivc r¢gim¢. Charitabl¢ a¢tiviti¢s are managed separ&t¢ly from ancillary
and primary purpose trading activilies, and this ha5 broughi clarity to duties and responsibilities and has given a better
understanding to everybody on how our new 5tralegic plan will be delivered.
Throughout the year w¢ have a150 continued to develop, regularly review. and implement poli¢ie5 that are dernanded of a
responsible charity. All the policie5 we now have in place ensure proper governance, 5&feguarding And risk mglnagement
ond are made effective becouse we ensure people know about them, understand them, and apply them.
Our 10 year strategi¢ plan has been reassessed and updated thi5 yw. Five new medium temi strategi¢ targets are now in
place after an in depth strategic review and public consultation. Having a strategic plan auwents the Arts Centre's
obligations under the Chariti¢$ A¢t 2011 and builds on its Arti¢les of A$80¢iation and Charitable Objectives. It also
helps thc board of tN5t¢cs makc bcttcr, more con515tcnt dcci3ion5. Financial Stability, artistic intcgrity and sourcing
external fvnding continued to tske high Strategic importance and in this r¢vi%ion our tQP Priority is to ¢xt¢nd our Ica3¢ to
20 yeors. This is essential in order to secure grant ￿ndIng for substantial capital improvements. A fijrther strategic
obj¢ctivc of m&int4ining th¢ building and courtyard to a high s18ndaTd w&s add¢d. Th¢ vision for the Arts Centr¢ is lo b¢
a vibrant cultUTal hub where creativity flouri5he5, communitie5 connect. and everyone feels inspired and welcome. Our
overriding aim through culture, support, in5pIration and ¢nt¢rt&inm¢nl is to mak¢ p¢opl¢ happy ond w¢ boliev¢ ¢hi$
remains powcrful and relevant in the current climate.
A new recycling initiative started this year has proved invaluable to people wishin8 to start their journey into art at low
expense. Artists donate paint. brnshes, art material$, frames eic. to ihe Centre and we pa88 Ort. at very low cosi to other
artists. The r¢u5e and recycle shop is a popular addition.
In line with our revised strategic plan w¢ have put in pla¢¢ a systematic maintenan¢e s¢h¢dul¢ to proteei our beautiful
buildings. In th¢ Short tenn we are still faced with c05tly emergency repairs. but over time, with regular upkeep. we will
extend thc life of our facilities. and thi5 will support our reputation. and allow better budgeting through planned. rather
than reactive, spending. This year emer8en¢y lighting has b¢¢n renewed, and th¢ out dat¢d eledricity con5um¢r board
has been replaced. All the outdoor Courtyard tables and chair5 have olso been renewed.
Linked to making ¢onlinuou5 improvements detailed planning has tsken place on refvrbishment of our 5 galleries
consisting of new fli)orin& professional gallery lighting and hanging boards. Grant funding is being 50ughi for the
project.
Improvements to the administration of our pre5tigrous Open Exhibition have been made with the introduction of an
online adrninistrdtlY¢ System designed to provide a plat(omL for managing artis¢ ¢ntri¢s. Th¢r¢ are ¢on5ideTable
administrative benefits to using this established 50ftware.
This year we have undertaken a customer survey to seek people's view5 about the Arts Centre. This provided direct
in5i8hts into the need5, ¢xperiences, and expectation5 of people using the C¢ntr¢ shows them that their opinion
matters. Not only has this assessed how effectively we deliver our s¢rvi¢¢s. which was encouraging. but has identifed
areas for improvement. The survey re5uIt5 will also SUPPOrt our funding applications by offering evidence of imp&ct and
cotnmunity engag¢meTht. We intend to continue with this initiative every year b¢caus¢ we b¢li¢ve it will build loyalty
and d¢liv¢T long tern) community support.
Legacyi fvndraising and the various types of donatlOll5 are starting to make a positive impact. An important
consideration for all thos¢ "giving" is how is this money being used and what difference it makes. Our focused public
r¢lation5 progratnme spreads the message at every opportunity that as well as it contributing to running inspiring arts
Progrdmmes, the money donated. how¢v¢r STnall, is used to support the maintenance and upkeep of the buildings.
