Company activities and impact

The company provides community engagement services involving creative arts activities. Our engagement work this year involved: 1. Outdoor Woodland Engagement This included several sessions with a diverse group of over 30 individuals from Edinburgh Southside’s Mental Health community. This we did through collaboration with Southside Community Centre’s Coorie-in “well-being pact” initiative along with Peer workers from Om Music Sanctuary Community Group. We used a wooded area in Holyrood Park’s Wells o’Wearie site and started all sessions by meeting in Southside Community Centre’s garden and included a 25 minute Health Walk - past city tree-planted area between Gibbs Entry , Hillcrest Futures Hub , The Crags Sports Centre , along to St Leonard Hill, and St Leonard Crag, into Holyrood Park and along Duddingston Low Road, crossing the innocent railway to a wooded area into the secluded and magical site called “the Wells o' Wearie” - featuring three ponds which are all that is left of a dozen healing sacred wells dating back to the 1500’s. Here we delivered a successful series of outdoor music/writing sessions with a diverse group of clients, of low socio-economic status, many being hard-to-reach individuals with mental illnesses and disabilities. These historically marginalised clients came to us via a range of support organisations, such as: Hillcrest Futures - Local hub supporting vulnerable people to learn vital independent living skills and experience recreational, educational and social opportunities Their clients include people with physical and learning disabilities, mental health, Autism, homelessness, substance dependencies and older people in different settings throughout Scotland; Penumbra - a pioneering charity providing dedicated services for people enduring mild to serious mental health issues; Contact Point - emotional, social and practical support to adults who are vulnerable and who feel isolated. 2. On-site Engagement @ The Southside Community Centre and its garden Here we worked with the Central Scotland Deaf Community building bird boxes and creating insect hotels for the SSCC garden and with North Edinburgh Community Shed making wooden garden planters for the front and sides of the building. Then we ran a series of art sessions with elders from the SSCC Coorie-in Thursday group, the Positive Futures Inter-faith group and participants from “Jake’s Tuesday Art Group” (an art club for vulnerable adults with additional support needs). Across these sessions we created artwork featuring local flora and fauna of the local area. Participants produced 28 animals and bird images as well as two large interpretation boards featuring butterflies and dayflying moths of the Southside and images of the work process. All the art work was mounted on wooden signs made working with North Edinburgh Community Shed and some volunteers from the centre user groups. Images and text was laid out and printed on to the Diabond surface (with anti-graffiti coating). The following signs were created: - Interpretation board 1: SOUTHSIDE SOIL AND SOUL (1200mm x 900mm) Angled board mounted on right side of garden (looking at building) explaining the whole Garden Project with some photos of the process /workshops etc. and clearly displaying UK PROSPERITY FUND logo and logos of additional support agencies (including NE Community Shed, Scottish Forestry, Historic Environment Scotland, Flaag and Creative Art Works CIC etc.). - Interpretation board 2: BUTTERFLIES; DAY FLYING MOTHS OF THE SOUTHSIDE (1200mm x 900mm) These images were drawn by Positive futures Interfaith group , and included ID info about the butterflies and moths and the story of “Edinburgh’s Butterfly”, found only in Holyrood Park (very close to SSCC), plus acknowledgements. - 9 x TREE SIGNS (1000mm x 300mm) Mounted flat, then attached to the nine Tree Sapling Nursery planters created. These tree images were created by Creative Art Works CIC (copyright permission granted without charge), funded by Scottish Forestry. They featured nine easily-identifiable iconic Scottish Trees (Oak, Hawthorn, Sycamore, Beech, Ash, Elder, Rowan, Silver Birch and Horse Chestnut) including images showing tree shape, spring flower, summer leaf, autumn fruit and winter twig, together with BSL QR codes linking to the national UK British Sign Language Glossary. - 9 x FAUNA SIGNS (1000mm x 300mm) Mounted on angled timber boards. Each board features three wildlife images created by Jake’s Art Group and some of our Elders from Thursday Coorie-In group, along with text with fun facts complied by Central Scotland Deaf community, and the fauna names displayed in English, Latin (scientific), Scots and BSL. Images included a range of common garden birds, mammals seen in city greenspace together with a bat, a frog and a toad (“the gardener’s friend”).

Consultation with stakeholders

Our stakeholders are: - The communities and groups and individuals we engage with - The grant funders (e.g. Scottish Forestry) who wish to engage with these groups - Specialist suppliers e.g. artists, storytellers, BSL interpreters, and other freelancers Funders approach us with a need to engage and we then look to existing needs within target communities and develop a suitable way to address these needs through the engagement vehicle developed. Before events we speak with our extensive network of community contacts to identify need. During and after the events/ activities we seek feedback to inform and refine our activities and provide a detailed report and recommendations to the funders. This also includes participant monitoring and feedback, recommendations, reflection of delivery against the organisation’s objectives, professional photographic record of the event and any other pertinent information. We maintain a close relationship with our funders and have regular constructive discussions on past and future projects, opportunities for development and elements that have been particularly successful.
