ACHIEVEMENTS & PERFORMANCE REVIEW
Why We Do What We Do
Our vision is of a more just society without huge swathes of poverty, inequality, and deprivation. Our mission is to help regenerate disadvantaged communities through creative participation. Our aims are to increase life chances of people facing disadvantage, to improve opportunities for families and communities and to increase the vibrancy of disadvantaged areas. Our values are creativity, inclusion, and opportunity for all.
Introduction
It’s been another full and fruitful year at The Portal Arts across the strands of our work. We have maintained and invested in our core services: Creative Steps, All in Media and Ambition for Media. We have developed new work in response to emerging needs in the community, initiating Govan Queer Space. We have progressed our social enterprise capabilities in line with our long-term sustainability strategy, working in partnership to produce the film Working Differently to international critical acclaim. Across the year we are proud to have worked directly with 328 people.
Community Venues
Much of our service delivery happens in our community hubs on Govan Road, which are maintained as hospitable, welcoming and productive venues:
-
The Portal, 978 Govan Road, Govan
-
AIR Space, 974 Govan Road, Govan
-
Gallery 966, 966 Govan Road, Govan
We also deliver outreach work locally and throughout the city, as detailed below.
This year we reopened AIR Space, our Artist in Residence studio that required extensive repairs due to water damage. This space hosts two local artists and opened its doors to a Step Three ceramics class for the Creative Steps programme for the first time since the Covid-19 pandemic. Having three vibrant community hubs on Govan Road keeps the area bright and ensures that local people can access opportunities for creative participation.
Staff
The programme of work has been delivered with the support of 1 full time member of staff, 6 part time members of staff, 20 sessional workers and 8 volunteers. Our staff team has grown this year thanks to crucial funding, enabling us to meet the demands on our services.
In addition to our Creative Director, Media Access Officer and Creative Steps Coordinator, the Portal Manager vacancy was filled in July 2023. This eased the workload of the Creative Director and increased staff capacity to a more sustainable level, allowing us to expand the team further. In October we recruited a Film Maker to lead our six-month Production Assistant traineeship, with a focus on neurodiverse trainees. In November we recruited two part time assistants for six months to support the Creative Steps programme and community development in The Portal.

ACHIEVEMENTS & PERFORMANCE REVIEW (Contd..)
Our thanks go to the sessional workers and volunteers who - along with our staff - share their experience, energy and expertise to make such a positive impact on our people and services.
Creative Steps to Positive Mental Health Programme
This is a three-step programme using creative participation to engage people with long term and enduring mental health issues, starting from place of treatment, into their local community then onto wider opportunities. Over the last 12 months, our activities have continued to respond to demand for in-person services. 89 people engaged with us - including 42 new referrals - across 316 group sessions, totalling 1,903 attendances.
-
Step 1: Outreach / NHS Classes – 8 sessions x 3 blocks during the financial year at Midlock Medical Centre, Brand Street and Rossdale Menal Health Resource Centres. The 16 participants who engaged with our classes had the option to progress into Step 2 classes in the community.
-
Step 2: In Person groups – Gallery 966 has been a hive of activity this year, with 5 weekly groups running for 5 blocks throughout the year. We delivered 212 sessions to 56 participants, making 1,124 attendances on Step 2 over the year.
Step 2 groups took part in creating and collaborating in 4 impressive window displays to mark the change of seasons and cheer passers-by. This year’s displays included our autumnal fairy land and winter Polar bear scene.
-
Step 3: Progression Classes - we encourage participants to move out of their regular Step 2 classes and meet other people from different groups and the wider community. The goal is to improve the confidence of participants to manage different social interactions and try different activities and learn new skills. We delivered 133 sessions with 42 participants resulting in 712 attendances over the year.
-
Community Sewing Groups – we ran three community sewing groups this year with three different tutors offering their varied expertise. The classes focused on participants completing personal sewing projects in a relaxed and friendly environment.
-
SCVQ Accredited Sewing Classes - we ran a Level 3 and Level 4 course in partnership with Glasgow Clyde College. Participants were able to gain a certificate through the college and learn how to machine and hand sew, making a makeup bag for their final project. Participants had the opportunity to learn new skills and meet new people with the aim of decreasing their social isolation.

ACHIEVEMENTS & PERFORMANCE REVIEW (Contd..)
- Govan Allsorts Community Choir – The Govan Allsorts Choir is a main staple of the Creative Steps programme. Meeting weekly, the group of singers know each other well and have formed close connections as a result of attending. They’ve put on several performances during the year, including a Christmas concert. Attending the choir gives participants the opportunity to form close connections with others and can lessen their social isolation. By learning new songs and working together participants are learning new skills and feeling proud of their achievements.
Ambition for Media (AFM)
AFM is a youth-led media programme devised with local teens, enhancing a variety of skills from storytelling and character development to creative digital media competencies. This programme is supported by experienced youth workers and a freelance media specialist. These projects cover a significant range of skills and creativity to produce high quality content, which participants are proud to share. 11 young people (aged 13 – 16) took part in a variety of projects throughout the year:
-
Creation of a short film called No Way SQA working with a BAFTA Scotland award winning filmmaker, Hannah Currie. Under Hannah’s guidance the group workshopped story ideas, wrote, filmed, acted and edited their short film. They took on different roles within the production and were treated to invaluable one-to-one time with Hannah throughout the project.
-
Creation of a short film called Crystal Soul Sisters in partnership with the Open Museums team. Under the guidance of a professional filmmaker, and a small crew, the participants workshopped story ideas, wrote, filmed, acted and edited their short film.
-
Open Museums Kit Handling sessions – vintages games, WW11 and precious stones.
All in Media (AIM)
AIM is tailored to work across all age groups delivering media skills and training through participatory filmmaking and multimedia projects with local people, community partners and statutory agencies.
- The Portal Seniors Film Club – this group focuses on people who are over 60 years old, most of whom never had the opportunity to explore their creativity in their younger years. The group of 10 participants meet on Thursdays for 2 hours, 45 weeks across the year. The group is free and run by an experienced facilitator, with guest freelancers contributing as required e.g. script writer.
The Portal Seniors Club worked on an exciting new radio play, The Last Fish Supper . The radio play was created produced / recorded in partnership with Sunny Govan Radio over the course of four months. The show was aired at the Seniors Christmas party and publicly on Sunny Govan radio on Christmas day.
Due to the ages of some members, and varying health conditions, moving towards singing, voice exercises, drama games and conversational activities has proved to be fun and invaluable for the participants.

ACHIEVEMENTS & PERFORMANCE REVIEW (Contd..)
- The Princes Trust - Our talented filmmakers delivered 5 projects with The Princes Trust partnership based in Anniesland College and Langside College. Participants received an introduction to the screen sectors and how to make a short impact film. Over the course of a few weeks, the participants create, develop, film and edit their own films – all from a place of no previous filmmaking experience. The films are then screened during their ‘signing out’ celebrations at the end of their courses. 80 young people engaged with us.
Govan Queer Space
This new pilot group has been developed in house by our Community Development Assistant. The group takes place at the Portal Arts every Tuesday from 6–8/9pm. It alternates weekly between two different events, Dinner and a Movie facilitated in partnership with the Small Trans Library and Govan Queer Group . Weekly attendance across the 12 weeks Jan – Mar has been between 15 and 35 people. Govan Queer Space is the first queer community space in Govan. It is in the process of becoming a regular feature, and more often we are seeing queer people attend who are local and surprised that it exists where it does. Both events are free and sober, which is distinct from other queer events in the city.
Partnership Working
We continue to develop strategic working partnerships with a wide number of Thriving Places community partners, mental health resources centres and wider networks, such as the SURF, Alliance for Action, The Princes Trust, NHS Scotland, Open Museums and many more.
Enterprise Development - Commissions
The Portal Studios secured its first commission through Screen Scotland to produce a short film about the importance of Neurodivergent people being employed and supported to work in the Screen Industry. This film has been created in co-production with Blazing Griffin, an independent Scottish Production Company, and heralds the beginning of many exciting opportunities for the coming years.
Working Differently film went live on Screen Scotland’s website, alongside a Good Practice Guide, and resources in September 2023, where it will be homed for the foreseeable future.
We hosted an Industry screening of the film in September 2023 where the film and resources were extremely well received. Since releasing the film, we have also held screenings and networking events for Working Differently with BAFTA Guru, the Glasgow Film Festival Industry Focus, and in-house with the BBC.
This led to us being selected to screen at ReelAbilities Film Festival in New York – the largest disabilities film festival in the world – in early April 2024. We are developing a proposal for Working Differently Phase 2, to take the film and contributors on a small but hugely important tour of Scotland.

ACHIEVEMENTS & PERFORMANCE REVIEW (Contd…)
FINANCIAL REVIEW
The Charity had a deficit of £(44,324) for the year (£24,167 surplus for 2023) and has total accumulated reserves of £71,214 at the balance sheet date (£115,538 for 2023), of which £71,214 are held as unrestricted reserves (£75,641 for 2023).
It may be useful to provide an explanation for the reported annual deficit on Restricted projects of £39,897 shown in the Statement of Financial Activities (see page 12). The charity has recently undertaken various projects whose operation has lasted more than twelve months. For that reason the financial reporting of those projects has not been confined to a single set of annual financial statements, and instead has been spread over the charity’s accounts for the two years ended 31[st ] March 2023 & 2024.
The majority of income for those restricted projects was received in the March 2023 year and so resulted in a surplus being reported in that year of £39,897. Thereafter, a large portion of the associated expenditure was undertaken in the March 2024 year and so resulted in the deficit on restricted projects of £(39,897) being reported in this year’s accounts. Therefore, when the entire period of activity for those projects is considered all together then it can be seen from the foot of the Statement of Financial Activities in this year’s report that the overall financial position for such projects was a surplus/deficit position of £nil. In summary, those restricted projects were therefore fully self-financing over the two year period combined and did not have to be supported by any other funds being made available by the charity.
STATEMENT OF TRUSTEES’ RESPONSIBILITIES
The Trustees are responsible for preparing the Trustees’ Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
The law applicable to charities in Scotland, the Charities and Trustee Investment (Scotland) Act 2005, the Charities Accounts (Scotland) Regulations 2006 and the provisions of the charity’s Constitution requires the Trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial period which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and of the incoming resources and application of resources of the charity for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the Trustees are required to:-
-
select suitable accounting policies and apply them consistently;
-
observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP FRS102;
-
make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
-
state whether applicable accounting standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements;
-
prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in operation.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER’S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF
THE PORTAL ARTS SCIO
I report on the accounts of the Charity for the year ended 31[st ] March 2024, which are set out on pages 10 to 19. These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out therein.
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 Trustee Investment (Scotland) Act 2005 and the Charities Accounts (Scotland) Regulations 2006. The Charity Trustees consider that the audit requirement of Regulation 10(1) (a) to (c) of the Accounts Regulations 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 our attention.
Basis of Independent Examiner’s Statement
My examination is carried out in accordance with Regulation 11 of the Charities Accounts (Scotland) Regulations 2006. 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 the view given by the accounts.
Independent Examiner’s Statement
In the course of my examination, no matter has come to my attention
-
1 which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements:
-
to keep accounting records in accordance 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 comply with Regulation 8 of the 2006 Accounts Regulations
have not been met, or
- 2 to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

The principal accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the financial statements are set below.
1.2 Incoming Resources
Voluntary income including donations, gifts and legacies and grants that provide core funding or are of a general nature are recognised where there is entitlement, certainty of receipt and the amount can be measured with sufficient reliability.

Income from investments is included in the year in which it is receivable.
Grant income, included within income from charitable activities is recognised where there is entitlement, certainty of receipt and the amount can be measured with sufficient reliability.
1.3 Resources Expended
Expenditure is recognised on an accruals basis when a liability is incurred. 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 services 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.
Costs of generating funds are those costs incurred in attracting voluntary income, and those incurred in trading activities that raise funds.
Governance costs include those incurred in the governance of the Charity and its assets and are primarily associated with constitutional and statutory requirements.
