CONSOLIDATION
The primary focus during this period was to remain the ratification and further
development of the structures, obligations and charitable intent and purpose of
the Organisation going forward, to continue to deliver support and services
where possible and implement a full Action Planning and Organisation Review
when possible.
Actions implemented and/or achieved during this period included:
Application to John Moore's Foundation to source funding/support to assist
with offsetting staff and outreach office overhead costs. Due to staff
vacancy with the local JMF office this had to be deferred to later than
would have been preferred during this ￿porting period, and was
unfortunately ultimately unsuccessful.
Application submitted to Halifax Nl to source financial support/funding to
support to assist with offsetting staff and outreach office overhead costs.
This application was also unsuccessful due to reduced revenue available
within this funding stream and an oversubscription of applications to it.
Application submitted to National Lottery Awards for All funding stream for
Readiness Assessment & Action Planning Delivery for the Organisation and
other Youth & Community providers across the Derry City & Strabane
District Council area. This unfortunately was also unsuccessful due to an
oversubscription of applications received. The Organisation has been
advised/invited to re-apply which will be implemented during the next
reporting period. It has however adversely affected and negatively
impacted the Organisation's intent and ability to further develop and
advance the Organisation's essential Action Planning and Review Process
to provide for its strategic development and direction and future
sustainability during this reporting period. It also inhibited the
Organisations planned delivery of one of its major service delivery
programs for the period and its planned expansion of its beneficiary base
to better meet its charitable purposes and objectives during this reporting
period.
The proposed submission of an application to DCSDC Police & Community
Safety Partnership during this reporting period, to reinstate and seek
support for the development and extended delivery of our Distracted
Driving and Road Safety Invention Projects: was unable to be submitted
and substantiated due to a change within the funding criteria, the support
available, awards been made through 3rd Party delivery agents and most
obstructively that another provider had secured direct external funding to
deliver a similar intervention at no cost.
The DFC Smalls Grants Program (NWVC/LCDI) for Volunteer
Training/Reimbursement & Volunteer Development, which has been a key
core component and means of support for the Organisation remains "in
limbo" with no advice or information as to if or when it will be re-instated.

CONSOLIDATION continued.
On a more positive note, this reporting period has seen the following outputs
and objectives implemented:
Preparation and presentation of the Charity Commission Report for the
period to Oct 2022 (July 2023)
Negotiation and adaption of Insurance & Premium Payment in line with
reduced seniice delivery
Identification of possible funding streams for future sustainability, service
delivery and or action plan development
Preparation and presentation of the Organisation's accounts for
examination/audit (Oct 2023)
Successful completion and return of all previous financial monitoring and
reporting in line with project outputs and evaluation requirements by all
funding providers.
Successful reestablishment of an Organisational Outreach Office at two
diverse locations within the DCSCD Council area (urban and rural) with
the support of two local community/youth providers.
The retention of the Organisation's key (and only) staff member albeit at
reduced hours of work.
Recruitment/securing the Sen￿lceS and support of 3 new volunteers
Continued service delivery to meet the Organisation's charitable aims,
objectives, intent and purposes.

CHALLENGE and CHANGE
The Trustees of Creating Space Ltd would promote that Challenge and Change
have unfortunately remained constants for the Organisation during both this and
the previous reporting period: and ones through thi5 reporting period they are
still endeavouring to manage, negotiate and adapt to: whilst continuing to
develop and direct service delivery and provision for those it aims to provide for
and support.
l. Funding opportunities remain fewer and more competitive than ever
especially in relation to core costs and volunteer support: as evidenced by
three unsuccessful applications made during this reporting period to
endeavour to secure such.
As a direct result of this the Organisation's financial income has remained
severely reduced, and with once again it witnessing fewer opportunities
for fundraising and remuneration for serrfice delivery to offset operational
overheads. With funding and finances becoming harder to negotiate and
secure across the entire community/voluntary sectors
organisations on
whom we previously relied for such sUPPOrt and service provision, also do
not have the resources to provide any (or little) remuneration for our
services: which however, we continue to provide and deliver wherever
possible at no cost.
Even facing such challenges, the Organisation has met all its financial
obligations, has incurred no debt and has once again identified potential
funding streams for future application and support. It has however that
financial reserves have been unable to be fortified and the limited amount
available to the Organisation have been depleted once again.
2. A major challenge for the Organization over the last three-year period has
been the securing of an identified operational base and Outreach Office
through which it can more effectively conduct its business and future
planning. The option of acquiring a "hot desk alternative was explored,
however due to the support of two local community-based providers the
Organisation has negotiated two outreach office spaces, one urban and
one rurally located within the DCSDC area. This indeed more than we
could have hoped for, and with access to internet and minimum
contributions towards overhead costs such as heat & light it has enabled
the Organisation to operate such, although on a much smaller scale,
without the essential core cost funding we were unable to secure and
without incurring debt.
3. Although much of the Organisation's larger pieces of equipment were
destroyed in the previous arson attack, some, as well as numerous
smaller items remained and have since that time been distributed and
stored at various locations on a temporary basis, having to be continually
relocated. A centralised storage facility has been secured, at a minimal
cost during this reporting period, making for easier access and usage and
more strategic delivery going forward.

CHALLENGE and CHANGE continued.
4. With the loss of the company vehicle in the forementioned arson attack
service delivery had resumed at a much-reduced level and diversity. This
was not only inhibited by loss of equipment but by the inability to
transport all that was needed to varied outdoor locations. The generosity
and support of the Organisation's staff and volunteer base have
undertaken this essential role to date, utilising their own vehicles without
recompense. Fortunately, during this reporting period one of the newly
recruited volunteers has access to a van, and with the adequate
insurances in place and its availability, has afforded the organisation the
ability to better utilise what larger pieces of equipment remain providing
more diverse ser￿iCe delivery opportunities.
5. The Organisations Volunteer Base remains dramatically reduced in
comparison with pre-covid levels. However, the Trustees with the support
of the staff member have advanced the Organisation's Volunteer
Recruitment Program during and this has seen tree new volunteers
sourced during this reporting period with all but one of the previous
volunteers starting point retained. The Volunteer Development Program
has been severely restricted due to lack of financial resources and
support, nevertheless the Organisation has been able to secure free
training opportunities where available and to "piggy back" on spare
training places afforded by other local youth & community providers at no
cost being incurred. It is hoped to further advance this element during the
forthcoming reporting period.
6. Service user provision and engagement has fortunately continued to be
developed but remains at a much-reduced level and diversity than the
Trustees would like or indeed have hoped for during this reporting period.
Financial restrictions and lack and availability of resources to support the
service delivery of the Organisation, and indeed those who previously
sourced and availed of its seniices, has been dramatically reduced and the
impact of this has seen the corresponding reduction in the levels of
service user provision and engagement. Creating Sace Ltd is not alone in
this complexity with similar providers and indeed many communities and
voluntary organisation facing the same difficulties.
7. The Organisation remains committed to move forward towards a more
educational and training delivery themed ethos and objectives. Although
at an early stage this has been initiated has proven successful. Not only
does there seem to be more financial resources to support such diversity
of service delivery it has also more easily negotiated especially in relation
to:
Reduced volunteer base and volunteer interests/abilities.
Reduced levels of equipment
Financial management and service delivery/overhead costs

CHALLENGE and CHANGE continued.
Training provision
Service user/beneficiary requests
Funding/financial support criteria and thematic strands
Year-round service provision
Strategic planning
both for Creating Space Ltd and for the
Organisations we are here to support who directly support and
deliver for our service users.
It is hoped that this can be further enhanced and developed moving forward
as schools/colleges open up to external providers and services more fully,
affording the Organisation the opportunity to reinstitute our School &
Community Education. Training and Life Skills initiatives.
8. The Organisation's essential Action Planning and Review Process to
provide for its strategic development and direction and future
sustainability remains as yet not fully realised, primarily due to the
financial support sought for this being unsuccessful. However, the key
human resources remain in place and applications to support this process
will be resubmitted to previously identified potential financial and funding
streams to support the Action Planning and Review process going forward.
9. The Organisation has once again negotiated adverse challenge and change
and is once again ready to welcome positive transformation.

Youth Outreach (YO!) Project and Program Delivery
The Organisation's Youth Outreach Project and more recently Education and Training
initiatives remain the core delivery mechanism for the majority of our work and
service delivery, and the conduit through which we achieve our charitable objectives.
Unfortunately, although greatly increased from the previous year, remai n reduced and
curtailed in relation to the levels the Trustees had hoped for and intended. This was
mostly in line with reduced finances being available. However the Trustees would
present and promote that program and project delivery is once again on an upward
trajectory and that the Organisation indeed utilised voluntary and charitable service to
deliver for service users and for the greater public benefit through it's program and
project delivery.
Addressing Need and Disadvantage:
Activities and Interventions (May 2021 - Oct 2021)
Delivery of the following initiatives, for children and young people living within

Enagh Youth Forum
Delivery of Distracted Driving practical skills activity in partnership with

Education and Training
Most service delivery in relation to Education and Training is undertaken within a
group or school-based setting. Unfortunately, the Organisation's lack of
resources and with schools being stretched to capacity the delivery of such
during this reporting period was unobtainable. However, where possible the
Organisation sought alternative options and opportunities to meet our education
and training objectives through local youth and community providers have been
with the following outputs being delivered within this reporting period:
Delivery of 2 x Distracted Driving Educational & Road Safety Workshop for
12 x young people 15-17 years - Enagh Youth Forum

Community Development and Citizenship
This forms a core focus and delivery medium for the Organisation's work and
development. During this reporting period through the staff member &
volunteers the following outputs were delivered:
Delivery of Air Quality & Pollution Workshop for 20 young people 12-16
years from the Enagh, Strathfoyle and Maydown areas as part of their
Safer, Cleaner & Greener Environmental Citizenship Program.

people for Enagh Youth Forum within their Youth Citizenship Project.
Delivery of Inclusive Games for Caw Women's Group (22 participants)

Promoting Good Relations
As this output necessitates wider engagement and interaction across
"boundaries" we have been unable to meet our charitable objective under this
heading as fully as we have done in the past. However, it has continued to be
promoted and achieved through providing, promoting and delivering
opportunities for all irrespective of age, gender, ability or religious/political
background. This has been underpinned through the wide representation of
diverse young people from we have delivered for and organisations we have
worked with during this reporting period. A major step under this objective
during has been the establishment of two Outreach Offices in two diverse
communities of interest: which we hope will not only allow the Organisation to
be better seen on a cross-community platform, but also encourage volunteers
and service users from diverse community backgrounds to better engage with
each other through the vehicle of Creating Space Ltd, thereby breaking down
barriers through shared interests and activities and promoting good relations.
Volunteering and Volunteer Development
Volunteer Development remains one of the Organisations core objectives and
the main conduit through which it achieves its charitable intent and purpose and
successfully delivers for its service users and beneficiaries.
The Organisation has previously successfully maintained and supported a large,
diverse and committed volunteer base which unfortunately has dwindled in
recent years. Fortunately, during this reporting period, the Organisation's
volunteer base (although not at previous levels) has not only been retained but
has grown, with three new volunteers recruited during the 12x month period.
Volunteers remain a lynchpin for the Organisation and conduit for our adapted
and remerging service delivery and support. They are essential in assisting us to
better meet our charitable intent and purpose and it is intended that the
Organisation's Volunteer Recruitment Program will continue apace, with
volunteers identified in line with what skills they can bring to enhance and
develop our service delivery and provision. Volunteer Training & Development is
also a key targeted objective both for the benefit of the volunteer as well as the
Organisation, and although this has had to be curtailed due to lack of resources,
volunteers have undertaken essential Keeping Safe/Child Protection and
Emergency First Aid Training
The Trustees wish to place on record their sincere gratitude and appreciation to
all its volunteers, past and present, who have contributed so generously of their
time and to the work of the Organisation especially in another challenging year.
We would like also to take this opportunity to welcome our new volunteers and
hope we can afford you new opportunities in the year ahead.
They also wish it to be noted, once again, that the unavailability of the DFC
Volunteer Small Grants Program continues to produce a detrimental effect on
small voluntary/community organisations.

Partnership Work and Practice
The Organisation recognises and continues to embrace the partnership model as
the most practical and successful means to enable it to distribute maximum
provision and impact for its service users and beneficiaries and to assist it in
delivering on its charitable intent and purposes.
During the previous three reporting periods work in partnership has
unfortunately been restricted to a greater or lesser across the community,
voluntary, statutory and public sectors
Thankfully during this reporting period normality has returned and through the
Organisation's key staff members outreach, old partnerships have been revisited
and reestablished and new one sourced and developed across the Derry City &
Strabane District Council area.
This period has seen the Organisation once again successfully re-establish links
and partnership work and engage on a regular basis with community/voluntary
and statutory providers across the Derry City & Strabane District Council area:
and we very much look forward to enhancing relationships and developing our
partnership work and practice on a much wider and all-embracing scale once
more in the year ahead.
Engagement for the period in relation to partnerships/potential partnerships
have been inclusive of the following:
Adventure Sport NW
Ballymagroarty Hazelbank Community Partnership
Caw Nelson Drive Action Group
Caw Women's Group
Currynierin Community Association
Enagh Country Park Enterprises
Enagh Youth Forum
Lincoln Courts Youth & Community Association
Reach Across
Strathfoyle Community Association
Youth into Culture
NI Housing Executive

Sustainability
The Trustees present the belief that with focus, opportunity, the commitment of
staff and volunteers and the enhancement of partnerships. the work of the
Organisation can be further developed and will continue going forward.
Unfortunately, due to lack of successful applications for funding and financial
support sustainability has been particularly difficult to negotiate during this
reporting period by has once more been achieved. The Trustees have continued
to undertake actions to place the Organisation in the best financial situation
possible going forward and make best POS5ible use of finances and assets that
were in place and at their disposal.
Although unfortunately the envisaged Action Plan could not be fully
implemented. throughout the reporting period the Trustees continually met and
engaged with the current staff and volunteer base to report on, reset and re-
establish the needs, issues, concern and priority actions for the Organisation in
the interim period and going forward.
INTERIM ACTIONS
l. Contact to be made with all previous volunteers to access the interest,
ability and potential availability to continue to support the Organisation
2. Promotion of Volunteer opportunities through social media, website and NW
Volunteer Centre.
3. Engagement with current/potential partners and service users to resume
and develop service delivery opportunities and ascertain what their needs/

5. Identify what ser￿iceS and support we can realistically deliver with the
reduced human, physical and transport resources currently available to us
The Trustees presented additional points of action which they again hope to
implement over the next 6-12-month period to lay a firm foundation for the
work and seniice delivery of the Organisation going forward in the short and
medium term.
SHORT TERM ACTIONS
l. Identify and make funding applications to retain the support of the Project
Co-ordinator post.
2. Identify and make funding applications to retain current an Outreach Office

Sustainability continued:
MEDIUM TERM ACTIONS continued:
Although applications for funding submitted during this reporting period have
unfortunately been unsuccessful, the Trustees intend to resubmit three of the
previous applications and have identified additional funding streams which can
provide potential opportunities for Se￿iCe delivery and sustainability going

l. Application to be resubmitted to the JMF for a further period of financial
support. Core Costs, Program costs. Action Planning.
2. Application will be resubmitted to the Halifax Foundation NI to offset staff

member and our partnership engagement. to identify and seek new
opportunities and funding streams and support which enable the Organisation to
meet it's Charitable Aims and Objectives.

Financial Review
Performance
Financial performance in the year to October 31st 2023 has been unfortunately
less than the Trustee's forecasts, hopes and expectations during this reporting
period: due to the lack of funding/financial support negotiated on behalf of the
Organisation. and the budget reductions available to those we deliver our
services for.
Income
Income receipts for the period 1st November 2022 - 31st October 2023 totalled
£ 1,950 a decrease of £8,005 on the previous year.
Expenditure
Expenditure had a corresponding reduction totalling £3,887
£2,630 for the year
decrease of
Gifts and Support in Kind
This has been essential and overwhelming resource during this reporting period
and has been crux of the Organisations survival and sustainability for the year.
Volunteers, Members and Trustees also give generously of their time to meet
any and all the unforeseen needs of the Organisation during what has continued
to be another year of challenge and constant change for the Organisation.
The staff member has continued to give above and beyond their role and remit
both in relation to hours of work and other duties.
Community, voluntary and statutory partners were an essential asset and means
of reducing financial costs on the Organisation. In this reporting period this has
seen the Organisation benefit financially through the provision of:
Free printing and photocopying
Free internet access.
Transport Support.
Minimal rental and overhead costs in relation to Outreach Office facilities
The Trustees wish to place on record their recognition of and gratitude for all
these individual and collective contributions. A special notation being presented
to Caw Nelson Drive Action Group and Enagh Youth Forum in relation to
facilitating the establishment of the Organisation's Outreach Office facilities.
