The Company continues to provide training to long-term unemployed people with learning difficulties, disabilities or mental health problems living in the coastal areas of West Sussex, mainly Bognor Regis, Chichester and Littlehampton. 2023 has proved to be another extremely successful year, with new initiatives developed and partnerships formed. In 2023, the Company continued to run a series of classes for adults under the banner Multiply, a programme funded by the Department of Education (via West Sussex County Council) which helps adults improve their maths skills. These classes proved to be very popular and we were able to extend by offering new classes, especially in small-group maths. We were commissioned to create a new interactive puppet show for Aldingbourne Trust which supported their strategy to encourage adults with learning disabilities to engage with the opportunities of paid employment. The show was presented initially in the Bognor Makerspace and then toured to day centres across the county. At the end of 2023 we were invited to bid for additional funding with WSCC to enable us to develop community classes in production skills and puppetry which will start in June 2024.
The Company's current stakeholders include unemployed people, mental health support agencies, volunteers and Job Centre staff. Complex reporting is required by our main funders (Arts Council and WSCC) and our evaluations contribute to the development of our curriculum. Our participants are consulted regularly as part of the Ofsted element of the WSCC Multiply programme to ensure learning is achieving its aims. Quality assessment is also conducted by NCFE who accredit the qualifications we deliver.
