Company activities and impact

Toolbox Drama has significantly grown in terms of engagement this year, with multiple new outreach sessions taking place across the City of York and beyond. We are seeing more supportive living households engaging with our Social Programme, with classes becoming true social hubs of activity. In order to support further engagement with the provision we have also developed a virtual platform, The Members Platform, for Toolbox members and their networks. The Members Platform allows participants to view galleries, take part in activity videos and view a social noticeboard. We have noticed this resource has become a lifeline for some participants who are often unable to engage with face to face classes due to ill health. As well as our core activity and weekly classes, we have also further developed our events programme. This year we have seen participants engage with professional arts venues and internationally recognised theatres such as York Theatre Royal and Leeds Playhouse. Here we have engaged in workshops, sensory spaces and watched live theatre. We have also supported our participants in performing at the National Centre For Early Music for invited audiences. This year we have also developed a new project - Immersive Spaces, a theatrical take on sensory rooms for individuals with additional needs. These events have been open to both adults and children with learning disabilities and autism, supporting their engagement with sensory installations and accessible technologies. This year we have received support from leading funders such as Arts Council England, Postcode Neighbourhood Trust, National Lottery Awards For All, Two Ridings Community Foundation and other local funders.

Consultation with stakeholders

Our stakeholders are our participants and their networks, such as support workers, PA’s, house / service managers and family members. We have a robust consultation process, which includes community consultation and discussion groups. These activities are often embedded into our social lunch hubs to engage participants in impactful conversations. This quality consultation feeds into our session delivery, events and holiday programmes, to ensure we are meeting our community needs. This year we have also developed a community survey, which is fully accessible and is responsive to multiple devices. The survey is visual, with large click buttons to support some of our participants in providing feedback themselves. We hope to further develop this resource within the next 12 months.

Directors' remuneration

The aggregate amount of emoluments paid to or receivable by directors in respect of qualifying services was £6348.00 for services between 1st September 2022 and 31 August 2023. This freelance fee covers fundraising, admin support and project management of events for the company by one of our directors. The other members on the board are unpaid. There were no other transactions or arrangements in connection with the remuneration of directors, or compensation for directors loss of office, which require to be disclosed.

Transfer of assets
