CIC34 Report Y/E March 2024 Our usual activities continued during April 2023 to March 2024 plus the addition of a new project. Our long-term project, Changing Faces, supporting disadvantaged young people in Buxton, continued through to July 2023. The group, along with friends and family and the wider Funny Wonders team joined the Buxton Carnival parade in July with our ‘Wild Hats’ entry, running additional making workshops in the lead up to the event. We won 1st prize in our category. Workshops restarted in September 2023 and again in February 2024 continuing through to beyond March 2024. In April 2023, we returned to High Lane’s Active at Windlehurst group for adults with disabilities to run another shadow puppetry workshop, after the group requested us again. We last visited before the pandemic in 2019. During spring and summer 2023, we delivered our Buxton Flowerpot Trail project. This year the trail ran during July and August and celebrated the return to Buxton of the full International Gilbert & Sullivan Festival in August. To support our trail, the IGSF ran a Best Flowerpot Person competition awarded at their festival awards ceremony. We ran pick-up pots stall/workshops at the Buxton Spring Fair, Buxton Markets, Buxton Rotary Summer Fair and ran an outdoor making workshop at The Green Man Gallery, a local, volunteer-run community arts hub, in May. Members of our team also ran three workshops with Grapevine Wellbeing Centre which supports vulnerable adults. We installed a flowerpot creation at The Green Man Gallery. We once again entered the trail into the Buxton Festival Fringe to support the festival. The trail was the most popular ever, with more map views/sales than previous years. Trail maps were sold by The Green Man Gallery, Poole’s Cavern Visitor Centre, Buxton Visitor Centre in The Pump Room which is operated by the Buxton Crescent Heritage Trust and a local bookshop, Scriveners. During January-March 2024, we started making plans for the Buxton Flowerpot Trail project in 2024, having already secured the funding during the financial year. In April/May 2023, we were approached to support a new robotics club for young people which follows on from a LEGO League club run at a local LEGO cafe but which cannot support the second group. During the summer we applied for funding and sufficient has since been secured to enable us to launch the project later in 2024. In June 2023, the Buxton Garden Trail selected us as one of their community organisations to support, including us in their promotion and programme. We planned to resume our activities for our PANDEMIC community project in September 2023, delivering workshops at Grapevine Wellbeing Centre with a group of adults with mental health issues. However, due to staffing issues at the Centre, these were unable to go ahead.
Our stakeholders are local schools and organisations and the local community in general. We have evaluation forms which are completed at the end of each project, which are completed by those taking part in projects and also those in an audience capacity. These are then reviewed and reported to the Funny Wonders team to help improve our services and the way we interact with the community. We also use these to structure ideas for future projects.
No remuneration was received by directors for performing their duties as directors. However, some payments were made for artistic, administrative and other work on projects. During the year this totalled the sum of £2,584. 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.
No transfer of assets other than for full consideration
