OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES
What We Do
We deliver a bold programme of creative activities for all our communilies across Cardiff and the South Wales region,
with particular emphasis on young people and vulnerable, underrepresented groups. A key role beyond delivering activity
is lo support and signpost people lo opportunities to engage in creative activities. We see the value in all levels of
creative engagement as a driver for both participation and creative production of the arts in Wales, but also the future
health and wellbeing of our community as aUdien￿S, active supporters, leaders of and stakeholders in this crucial aspect
of Welsh identity and cultural life.
Activity Delivered and funded solely through the Arts Active Trust
A2: Connect CPD
Through continued partnership working with the Central South Consortium Joint Education se￿iCe during the academic
year we have delivered a series of teachers professional learning days. These have been face to face training events for
primary, secondary and ALN school teachers which have been successful and well attended. Feedback has been
extremely positive. Participants value highly the opportunity to work with professional artists away from the dassroom
and to share and network with colleagues.

Plwg.cymru and Arts Active website development
During the summer of 2023 we successfully launched our ne￿Y updated Arts Active Trust website. It was agreed that
this was an important development both to serve the overall programme better and to help to give context to the
Plwg.cymru site. The newlook website now includes a direct link lo Plwg.cymru and has a clearer presentation of all our
programmes and events and resources. The second phase of development is to enhance the surrounding ecology of
online content that will direct users to the Plwg.cymru site. Therefore we will pursue the development of content for the
A2.'Connect area of our website to showcase and evidence our and other artists, projects and eXperIen￿S inNor sch¢)ols.
Anecdotally we know that Plwg is being successfully used to connect schools with artists to enable the development of
expressive arts experiences in the classroom. We will continue lo promote and further develop Ihis usage.
A2 Crlw Celf
The delivery of Criw Celf activity has been in its final phase this year as the Gu￿ent grant from the Arts Council of Wales
is the last in this funding stream.
Hence. alongside delivering workshops, courses and mentoring in all of the five local authorities. we have been working
inlensively with the Criw Celf Youth Panel. a group of young people who have come through this and other Arts Active
associated programmes. The aim of this is to continue to evolve and develop our participatory arts and engagement
programme with young people. This process of'Future Proofing, has included mentoring and support for these alumni to
pursue and deliver self-directed research projecls to feed into our next phase of youth activity. In particular, how the Arts
Active Trust programme has embedded an ethos of true inclusivity and real-world validity in its engagement with young
people in all artforms.
To be able to make these plans happen the young people with the team's support and guidance have been developing
their fundraising skills and are in the process of approaching funders and creating grant applications.

OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES
Criw Celf Future Proofing Research and Development Activities
The Reading Rooms Project has developed out of a series of short projects that were part of the Criw Celf Summer of
Fun and Winter of Wellbeing activities. Through developing working partnerships with the Sustainable Studios Reading
Room initiative and Cardiff University's Civic Mission project Arts Active plans lo develop further activity to help to
develop the Reading Room project both in Cardiff and to take it to other key areas in Wales. It is likely that the
programme will also feed into a new working relationship with Music Theatre Wales
The Engineer Project has this year applied and been successful, in gainin9 an initial grant of £20.000 to further explore
and scope the feasibility of a programme that supports young people to develop safe creative spa￿S in which to work
and develop their practise and networks.
The Rekindle Research Project - a group of the Criw Celf youth panel are investigating supplementary schooling
models. They have been on a study visit to Manchester to meet the founders and youth panel to see the Rekindle
Manchesler project in action. They have been tasked with considering how a model might be developed to pilot that
would work in line with the ethos of the Curriculum for Wales. Both supporting and developing skills in arts and creative
activities whilst deploying the expressive arts to support cross currtcular learning and wellbeing in young people of all
ages.
The budget fvnding this initial phase of research and development was part of the Criw Celf programme and will
continue utilising designated funds. A management fee will be transferred out of the Criw Celf Project code to free
resetves at the end of the year, Ihis being the accumulated administralive and management fees for the 9 years of
project delivery.
A2 Criw Celf & Visual Arts Youth Access Programme
The A2 Criw Celf workshops and short courses are an established innovative programme that offers unique
opportunities to young people to work with professional artists. The activities focus on developing the overall creativity of
the participants as well as offering specific skills development. The project reaches across the five local authorities of the
Central South Wales area and has had significant impact in developing young creatives in the region.
The workshops and courses in each of the five local aulhorities were programmed by an artist living in that area. Over
50 % of the workshop assistants are young people who have come through the scheme. All workshops take place in
community venues across the five regions and 300/0 of workshops are delivered bilingually in Welsh and English.
Criw Celf Creative Mentorlng scheme
Once again, we have run a programme of 1-2-1 mentoring for young people aged 17- 21. This scheme identifies young
people who have been involved with Criw Celf s activities and may wish to pursue creative training post 16. In all cases
the menlees face one or more challenges and for the majority these are multiple e.g. from a low-income household, not
in employment or training and or with mental health challenges.

Arts Active - Youth Arts Participation
Youth Arts Programme
This programme of extra-curricular and or post-16 activity engages, extends and develops young people's creative skills
to support their aspirations, social interactions and emotional wellbeing. The programme is being delivered through a
variety of projects working closely in partnership wilh Cardiff Youth SeNice and others. Through this work we ensure
that we reach out into those areas and communilies that lack provision or access to creative participation. This activity
has been integral to the development of the Criw Celf Future Proofing activity. Both these projects and other related
activities are key drtvers in developing an approach to Youth Arts work that is inclusive, driven by the participants, voice
and positioned and designed to engage wtlh those participants that often lack support to engage with creativty.

OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES
Rights Fest Activity
During the summer and early Autumn of 2023, Arts Active Trust teamed up with the Child-Friendly Cardiff to deliver a
programme of creative activities across Cardiff to address some of the key topics in the lead-up to the Child
Friendly Cardiff Rights Fest Event. The aim of our specific project brief was lo explore and discuss what the experience
of growing up as a girllyoung woman in the city was like.
Projed producer Lucy Dickson worked with artists and organisations to convene a series of workshops for groups of
young people identified as often marginalised and made up mostly bul not always exclusively of girls. These included..
Embroidery with Ophelia Dos Santos at Cardiff Youth Service Girls Group Grange Pavillon and
Juniors Group Butetown Pavilion
Protest Arts with Sahar Saki at YMCA Ys Girls Group
Dream Clty Model with Valentine Gigandet at Safer Wales youth support group
Graffiti, poetry and Illustration with New Era stsff - New Era Talent Youth Club
Whilst these groups were all pre-existing, they were mainly new contacts for Art Active. In all Cases the young people were
challenged by the topics of discussion that were underpinning the programme, bul all gradually grew in confidence, rose to
that challenge and benefitted. The outcome of these sessions was that the young people have greater awareness of their
rights and have started to explore and express how they feel as young women and girls in our society. Many of the
participants were identified as vulnerable. so it was particularly positive to have an opportunity to bring some awareness to
the topic. The work created was impacrful and was shared at the final showcase and seminar event for young people in
October 2023.
Youth Inclusion Service Arts Project
In late Autumn we were commissioned to deliver a series of arts activities for Ihe regular youth inclusion group led by the
Cardiff Youth ServiTr. This is a group of young people aged 12-25 who are mostly living with learning disabilities and as
resull are often marginalised and isolated without opportunities to develop their self-expression. Through the process of
a series of activities the creative confidence of this group developed. and their engagement increased. Whilst at times,
challenging the group dynamic was incredibly positive and the patticipants enjoyment of the activities was evident. For
some just the chance lo try out a variety of different media was significant whilst others began to show clear creative
strengths and preferences.
Llamau
In the early spring Arts Active Trust has been working with Llamau with a small group of young people who access the
charity's support and education services at their ￿ntre in Barry, Vale of Glamorgan. Llamau is the leading homelessness
charity in Wales, supporting the most vulnerable young people and women.
Artist Emma Prentice led a series of hands-on creativity for wellbeing sessions from February to early April this year. The
workshops were designed to enable participants to relax and enjoy exploring and developing their crealive skills. The
sessions were fun and informal providing an opportunity to strengthen relationships, build camaraderie and mutual
support within the group and with their Llamau support staff.
The séssions in the Vale have been fantastic, the young people have thoroughly enjoyed them and are
already missing Emma. She is such 8 lovely artist, with fabulous ideas that really bring out the
creativty in the young people.

Artworks Cymru
The cu￿ent fijnding is supporting the second phase of the mentoring scheme for artists., a cohort of mentee Artists have
been paired with the existing team of freelance artist mentors on live projects. This round of funding is aiming specifically
to extend the reach of the Artist Mentor team focusing on inclusive practice. The project has targeted artists from
under-represented communities for the mentor programme. The learning and impacts from this phase of Ihe project are
to be shared across the participatory arts sector during the Spring of 2024. The inclusive nature of Ihis project has been
a vital aspect. The programme was successful in delivering fully inclusive training opportunities and support for
practitioners starting out in their careers. Moreover, the sharing of this work amongst the sector will ensure the projecys
legacy.
Arts for Health & Wellbeing:
Following on from a pilot project during summer 2023 Arts Active Trust successfully gained Arts Council of Wale Funding
to continue and develop this activity supporting wellbeing both mental and physical through creative activities. Delivered
in partnership with GLL Better Leisure ￿ntreS in Cardiff and the Cardiff and Vale National Health Board the project will
work across 3 Better Leisure Centres providing a combination of physical and creative arts activilies. This programme
will offer bolh therapeutic and social support to targeted participants who are on the Better and UHB Cardiff and Vale's
existing GP referral scheme. We will be monitoring the impact of this programme and hope to be able lo continue to
develop the project if further funding can be secured. This partnership is one Ihat we see as having huge potential for
community benefil.
The first phase of the programme will start at Eastern Leisure Centre in Llanrumney and then further stages will introduce
activity to Llanishen and Pentsvyn Leisure Cenlres later in the year.

OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES
Arts Active Music programme for St David's Hall
The established programme of music engagement aolivities that is run through the partnership be￿een the Cardiff
Council team and the Arts Active Trust continues. This is despite the significant impact that the closure of St David's Hall
in September 2023 has had on that work.
The council team of three employees continue in post, now under the Cardiff council Education Directorate. This means
that the joint programme of work can still be delivered utilising alternative venues in the community- Vvhilst much of this
activity was designed to link to the St David's Hall orchestral concert series and wider programme this does not mean
that the work is no longer of value - in fact with the lack of an orchestral music venue in the city - quite the opposite. We
therefore wntinue resolutely to seek to enhance access to all types of music and arts in and for the community-
Again, partnerships are at the core of this work and are crucial to the ongoing development and successful reach of the
programme. Arts Active has ft)rged key links with community-based organisalions over the past years and these are vital
in supporting us to continue to deliver our aims.
Soundworks
Our weekly community music sessions for adults
with leaming disabilities and complex needs has
been running for many years. Since summer 2023
we have been able to return to the project's
pre-covid status running two sessions each week as
the numbers of participants has steadily increased.
Due to the dosure of St David's Hall in the autumn
we transferred the sessions to Western Leisure
Centre to enable us to continue. The venue change
has worked out quite well.. participants are able to
travel and park at the Leisure Centre. However,
there is a modest venue hire cost to be covered.
In addition to the music making workshops
annual infomal Soundworks concerts take place
featuring professional ensembles and these have
become a highlight of the Soundworks year as well
as a feature ofthe Welsh Proms.

Open Or¢hestra
The Open Orchestra project is well-established in Riverbank and Ty Gwyn special schools in Cardiff. During weekly
sessions at the I￿0 schools, Iwo music leaders work with children with physical and learning impaimients, which vary in
their severity. The music leaders work with children in small groups or pairs, with the aim of steadily building up larger
groups (orchestras). Sessions are tailored to each student's individual needs and incorporate studenl-led elements.
It is Arts Active's aim to offer transition and continuum for primary and secondary-aged pupils, through projects such as
Open Orchestra. Across the two schools the participants range in age from 6-19 years and the cohort Is ethnically
diverse including girls and boys from at least 10 different nationalities.
The project leaders carefully monitor the impact on pupils of the sessions and this year it is has been noted Ihat=
All children at Riverbank have developed the skill to read notation and conduct. Some students have learned
rests and note durations, and the music leaders have observed Ihal all children have become better at turn taking.
One student has nolably begun sharing instruments and resources much more and working much better as a
pair. Another has gained significantly in confidence and is taking a much more active role in sessions. One
student created her own graphic score this term.

Soundworks Youth
Last year we were able to develop a new stream of soundworks activity for young people, this was made possible due to
fvnding from the Anthem Music Fund Atsain programme and a partnership with Barnardo's Family Centre in Ely. Delivery
of these sessions has run throughout the year to December coinciding with the end of the Atsain funding. Unfortunately.
due to Bamardo's losing funding for this specific group of participants we have been unable lo continue to deliver the
work in this centre. This was a disappointment particularly for these families.
However, we have secured funding for this year to continue to deliver Soundworks Youth aclivily in the fomi of a grant
from the Radcliffe Trust and a partnership agreement thal has been in place from Spring 2024 with the Cardiff Music
Education Servi￿. Thi5 means Ihat our delivery of music participatory sessions for children and young people with
learning disabilities and complex needs continues and is expanding.

Tiddly Prom
This summer we welcomed young audiences to our Tiddly Prom perfomances at St David's Hall during the week of the
Welsh Proms. Our longer term plans for the Tiddly Prom brand and Ihe existing back catalogue of songs and stories are
currently in planning stages with the possibility of recording the music not njled out. The closure of St David's Hall
meant that it was not possible to present a Christmas version of the Tiddly Prom. We will be exploring alternative and
more financially sustainable formals for live music performances for the under 5$ which might continue with the Tiddly

Gamelan
The Cardiff Gamelan Community Group has a strong core of
members who have met weekly throughout the year to bolh
perfecl traditional Javanese pieces and to create new works.
Despite the disruption in the autumn of having to move OLrt of
St David's Hall the group managed to keep on meeting.
Challenges aside, this year Cardiff Gamelan realised the
ambilion to create a new piece to play live with silent movie.
Working with musician and composer Helen Woods the
group created a new suite of pieces that can accompany the
1927 silent movie 'The Lodger Story of the London Fog,
directed by Alfred Hitchcock and featuring Ivor Novello in the
title role. This project culminated in a screening of the film
accompanied by live gamelan at the Memo Arts Centre,
Barry on 21 March. The piece was highly praised for the
marriage between the visual storytelling of the film and its
gamelan accompaniment. It is hoped that a repeat
perfomiance may be possible.
However. the long-term threat to the future of the gamelan programme has now been realised with the closure of St
David's Hall. A short-term solution has been found which sees one of the tunings sited at Chapter Arts Centre in the
Cardiff Music Education suite. The other half of the set is currently being kept in temporary storage with the Cardiff Mu51C
Education servi￿ equipment, bul this is only temporary. The plan remains to purchase some bespoke flight cases that
will enable the full set of two tunings to be more safely stored and transported. In addition, further conversations need to
be entered into with potential partners to be a more permanent host to at least one half of the set if not all of it.

Liabilities are recognised as expenditure as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the
charity lo that expenditure, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefils will be required in settlement and

has been classified under headings that aggregate all cost relaled to the category. Where costs cannot be
directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated lo activities on a basis consistent wilh the use
of resources.
Expenditure includes any VAT which cannot be fully recovered and is reported as part of the expenditure to
which it relates.
Charitable expenditure comprises those costs incurred by the charity in the delivery of its activities and ServI￿S
for its beneficiaries. It includes both costs that can be allocated directly to such activities and those costs of an
indirect nature necessary to support them.
Support costs are those costs that. whilst necessary to deliver an activity, do nol themselves produ￿ or
constitute the output of the charitable activity. This includes govemance costs which are those costs associated
with meeting the constitutional and statutory requirements of the tharity and include Ihe accountsncy fees and
costs linked to the strategic management of the charity.
