The company’s principal activities during the reporting period have included: - Promoting and delivering a full programme of live performance as part of Leicester Comedy Festival 2023. This built on our long-standing relationship with venue partner Knight & Garter, and provided opportunities for Derby and Derbyshire comedians to perform as part of a diverse line-up of new and established acts at Europe’s largest and longest-running comedy festival. (January - February 2023) - Supporting Derby City Libraries in a library trail and creative sessions to build community engagement with the Big Family Read – a national initiative. (February 2023) - Actively building a network of organisations, artists, creatives and individuals in Heanor, thanks to a project grant from Derbyshire County Council. This culminated in a Big Community Mash-Up at the end of this financial period, preceded by a programme of outreach in schools and community settings. (February – November 2023) A further grant, from the Postcode Lottery Trust (awarded May 2023) will allow us to build on the outcomes from this project. The majority of this project activity will take place in the following financial year. - Delivering the Furthest from the Sea Festival – a free family creative festival in Derby city centre, with associated schools’ engagement and community outreach activities in libraries and other settings. Planning and delivery of the festival was principally funded by Arts Council England, allowing us to extend our community outreach and engagement activities (January – July 2023). - Delivering Derby’s first Gig on the Green – a new event running alongside the Furthest from the Sea Festival, showcasing local musicians in an open-air setting (June 2023) - Our work with Creative Art Showcase Bromsgrove (June 2023 and October 2023) saw us supporting another arts organisation to deliver both an indoor and outdoor event in their own community. Furthest from the Sea provided expertise and equipment. As an organisation we plan to build this type of activity to develop an additional source of earned income which will supplement grant-funded projects and increase our sustainability going forwards. - Providing a bespoke event as part of Feste (September 2023), offering opportunities for Derbyshire artists to showcase their skills and creativity through workshops with members of the public. - Supporting the organisation and presentation of Derby Folk Weekend (Oct 2023), providing opportunities for Derby and Derbyshire artists to participate in this well-loved event, and facilitating free and low-cost access to an exciting Fringe programme for audiences. - Programming for Leicester Comedy Festival 2024 (Oct 2023). This preparatory work will allow us to deliver a full programme of live performance as part of Leicester Comedy Festival in February 2024.
The company’s stakeholders are many, and include: - The local artistic/creative community - Organisations which offer support (financial and “in kind”) to our activities - Other organisations which have the potential to be impacted by our work (e.g. local businesses, the City Council etc) - The wider general public who form the audience at our events The company has an ongoing and open dialogue with all of these groups of stakeholders, which offers frequent opportunities for consultation and response. The company’s advisory board includes representatives from education, local business and the creative community. During this reporting period this group of individuals has been undergoing a refresh, allowing us to bring new voices and different backgrounds into our accountability. Throughout the year consultation with artists is ongoing and open, as we develop new project ideas and deliver our regular programme of events. For established events, such as the Furthest from the Sea Festival, feedback from audiences (through questionnaires and online comments), artists and volunteers/staff (through one-to-one conversations) shape the development of the activity from one year to the next as the company seeks to improve and learn from its experiences. Partnership/funding agreements with the local authority and funding bodies also provide structured opportunities for feedback and response, both at the project proposal and the project evaluation stage.
Directors’ remuneration for the period totalled £27,064. There were no other transactions or arrangements in connection with the remuneration of directors, or compensation for director’s loss of office, which require to be disclosed.
