COMMUNITY INTEREST ANNUAL REPORT

Year Ending: 31 March 2025

Company activities and impact

Over the past financial year, House of Deviant has delivered wide-reaching benefits to communities across Wales by placing learning-disabled adults at the centre of creative practice. Through regular workshops, outreach sessions, and public performances, the project has combated chronic social isolation by providing safe, vibrant spaces for people who are often excluded from mainstream culture. Many of the Queens reported that before joining, they spent much of their time at home with few opportunities for connection. Now, they describe themselves as part of a family, with strong friendships and a renewed sense of belonging. Our performances have also had a significant community impact. At the Unity Festival, one of Europe’s largest inclusive arts events, the Queens were the only group to perform without non-disabled people on stage, powerfully demonstrating that representation and autonomy for disabled artists is possible. Audiences described the experience as joyous, emotional, and transformative. Similarly, shows at the Wales Millennium Centre, the Riverfront, and Pride Cymru have attracted diverse audiences – including many first-time theatre-goers – showing that our work helps widen access to the arts for the broader community. Beyond the stage, our activities have influenced organisations and professionals. Practitioners and support staff have developed enhanced skills in inclusive practice, with many now advocating for more equitable approaches in their own networks. Partnerships with bodies such as Cardiff and Vale Regional Partnership Board and Innovate Trust have allowed us to share learning and shape best practice in co-production. The ripple effect of this has extended well beyond our immediate participants, influencing service providers, policymakers, and creative institutions across Wales. Our outreach programme, the Draglings, has introduced younger or newer participants to performance in a peer-supported way, fostering skills, confidence, and resilience. The Queens themselves now mentor and support others, embedding values of inclusion and leadership. These activities have also extended into communities outside South East Wales, with workshops in Ynys Mon and Wrexham, ensuring that benefits are shared across the nation. Overall, our activities have built confidence, independence, and opportunities for learning-disabled LGBTQ+ adults while also creating a cultural shift in how communities view inclusion, representation, and artistic excellence. The benefits are seen in stronger peer networks, greater visibility for marginalised groups, new partnerships across Wales, and audiences who leave our shows with changed perceptions and deeper appreciation of the diversity of their communities. We: - Held 45 professional skills classes for learning disabled drag performers. - 4 specialist masterclasses - 45 outreach workshops - 2 peer led workshops - Over 200 hours of supported thinking and reflection time - 8 cabaret shows - participated in 2 professional academic research projects - created 5 work experience opportunities for masters students

Consultation with stakeholders

Our projects follow a fully co-productive model in which our project members are an equal voice in the steering and management decisions of the project. In 2024/25 our core project members of House of Deviant included 5 learning disabled adults who form part of our regular performance troupe. These core members were consulted in all major decisions and directions and the project was steered accordingly. Where appropriate, the members of our Draglings outreach group were also consulted.
