Activities and achievements This past year saw us focusing on exploring relationships with new partners and rebuilding our fa-to-fa work across the authority area through our regional projects with NHS Lothian Charty and Regional Screen Scotland. We also celebrated what our parbcipants had achieved in lockdown and finalty brought them together to dance, sing and reconnect with us, and one another. New partnerships were explored with ra and faith groups as we considered how to be as inclusive as possible and the decision was made to do away with the age limits (over 50's or over 60's) for participation in our classes and projects. The installation of the heritage signs in Stoneybum got undeThvay and we were able to restart our communty classes to varying degrees. We built on our relationship wtth The Regal Theatre and now deliver a wkty community dan class there. Page 4
Generation Arts Association Trustees, Annual Report and Financial Statements For the year ended 31 March 2022 SC036084 Activities and achievements (continued) Funding from NHS Lothian Charity increased and the initiative was extended to include a partnership with Art Therapy which resulted in a communty music initiative for patients of mental health services. This project also attracted external funding from the national Communities Mental Health and Wellbeing Fund. We expanded our arts team to deliver the NHS work. including rnore in-patient activity as hospital wards opened up. We were contacted by DanbaSe. Scotland's national ntre for dance, who were reimagining their own communty programmes. This developed into staff training, hands on experience and connections with the West Lothian Parkinson's Nurse for our lead danr, to trial Dan for Parkinson's style class in the area. We were also part of a neOrk of art organisations in West Lothian working towards a stronger cultural sector for the area. This was subsequently supported as part of a bigger initiative by Creative ScDtland, to be delrvered by Firefly, West Lothian's youth theatre. A strategic partnership between established arts organisations in our area is very welcome. Our programme in West Lothian care homes continued online. Wherever possible we attended care homes in person, but this was very limited. Recurring covid outbreaks and serious staff shortages across the care sector made it very difficult to gather any momentum. By the end of Ihe year many still remained closed to third parties. Picture House, our communty cinema network initiated in 2020 with funding from Regional Screen Scotland, continued to develop. meeting regularly online, and in person (when able) to undertake training, pilot screenings, develop programme plans and hear from invited speakers. The lack of community venues was a particular challenge as WLC kept most closed to the public. Regional Screen Scotland continued to act as a conduit to national opportunities for the network and two new local groups came forward to begin the training and support towards establishing communty cinemas in their area. By the end of the year, we were able to bring everyone together with invited guests to celebrate how far they had come and began to form this network into an independendy constTiuted group. We were asked to deliver a summer arts programme for primary age children in an SIMD area within Falkirk which resulted in arts, and dan dasses and an external mural. In Winter we held our firsl public event since 2019- a Day of Dance- at Howden Park Centre, Livingston. 55 people attended 4 dan workshops, afternoon tea with Musi1 entertainment and an exhibition of the artwork made during Boundless. The Silver Tones choir perfomied as people arrtved. The event received very positive feedback. It was a joyful aftemoon and participants reported feeling safe, confident, uplrfted at the gathering.

Annual Report on pages 3 to 6. Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner The charity's trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the terms of the Charities and Trustees Investment (Scotland) Act 2005 and of the Charities Accounts (Scotland) Regulations 2006(as amended). The charity trustees consider that the audit requirement of Regulation 10 (1) (d) of the Accounts Regulalions does not apply. It is my responsibility to examine the accounts as required under section 44 (1) (c) of the Act and to state whether particular matters have come to my attention. Basis of independent examinerfs statement My examination is carried out in accordance with Regulation 11 of the Charities Accounts (Scotland) Regulations 2006 (as amended). An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts and seeks explanations from the trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequently I do not express an audit opinion on whether the accounts present a rue and fair vie. Independent examinerfs statement In the course of my examination, no matter has come to my attention which gives me reasonable cause to believe that, in any material respect, the requirements to keep accounting records in accordan with Section 44(1) (a) of the 2005 Act and Regulation 4 of the 2006 Accounts Regulations, and to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and compty with Regulation 9 of the 2006 Accounts Regulations have not been met, or to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be re Name..
