MixMatched CIC is a creative arts organisation with a focus on neurodivergent+ inclusivity. We run monthly open mic performance nights in Canterbury and Margate, alongside creative workshops and festival appearances. Our work provides a supportive environment for neurodivergent and LGBTQ+ individuals to explore and showcase their creativity, build lifelong friendships, and develop careers in the creative industries. During the financial year 2023 to 2024, we benefited the community in the following ways: - Providing creative opportunities – Our open mic nights, workshops, and Atypical Love anthology project enabled participants to share their work in a supportive space, with many performing or being published for the first time. Some have since gone on to launch their own creative ventures. - Increasing accessibility in the arts – We provided low-cost creative workshops to help people develop their skills, and introduced accessibility measures such as communication badges, earplugs, and travel bursaries to make our events more inclusive. - Supporting neurodivergent creatives financially – With the support of Arts Council England, we provided our directors with an income from their passion – at least one of whom is neurodivergent and marginalised in traditional employment settings. We also created paid opportunities for neurodivergent creatives to run workshops and perform. - Fostering community and advocacy – By participating in Margate and Canterbury Pride, we helped neurodivergent individuals feel safe and included in large-scale public events. Our advocacy work also led to Canterbury Pride organisers seeking advice on improving accessibility. - Educating the public on neurodiversity – Our events and workshops provided insights into neurodivergent experiences, helping to raise awareness and shift perceptions within the wider community. Through these activities, MixMatched CIC has played a vital role in supporting neurodivergent and marginalised creatives, fostering personal and professional growth, and making the arts more inclusive.
MixMatched CIC’s key stakeholders include: - Neurodivergent and LGBTQ+ creatives and community members - Local arts organisations, venues, and festivals - Partner organisations, including Canterbury Pride and The Shell Grotto - Funders, including Arts Council England Consultation Methods: We have actively engaged with stakeholders through: - Direct feedback from participants at events and workshops - Discussions with attendees and creative practitioners - Ongoing dialogue with venue partners and arts organisations Actions Taken in Response to Feedback: - Improved Accessibility: Following participant feedback, we introduced additional accessibility measures, such as communication badges, earplugs, and travel bursaries. - Expanded Programming: Stakeholders expressed interest in more varied events, leading to new activities such as theatre trips and expanded workshop offerings. - Sustainable Working Practices: Feedback from our team and participants highlighted the need to prevent burnout. In response, we adjusted project timelines and restructured workload distribution. - Venue Engagement: Consultation with Canterbury Pride organisers led to discussions on improving accessibility at future Pride events. These consultations have been essential in shaping our activities and ensuring we remain responsive to the needs of our stakeholders.
