COMMUNITY INTEREST ANNUAL REPORT

ORKNEY CREATIVE HUB COMMUNITY INTEREST COMPANY

Company Number: SC495994 (Scotland)

Year Ending: 31 December 2024

Company activities and impact

The company runs Orkney Creative Hub (OCH) which is based on two sites with Kirkwall, Orkney; No 25 is an arts and crafts retail shop with space for daily workshops and at Ortak there is space for specialist workshops. During the financial year 2023-20224, OCH activities have benefited the community in the following ways: - local members of the community, together with visitors, can buy their arts and crafts materials on site without waiting on lengthy and often costly delivery services. - the daily workshops run across both sites offer all members of the community a chance to develop their creative wellbeing, enhance their skills and join in with the artistic community. Over 1200 places were filled at these workshops in the year. - the shop has provided part-time employment for 7 local artists to support their income - over 30 local artists are supported by offering their goods for sale in the shop. This not only increases their income but also their profile within the local community and to visitors. - 7 local artists are able to use the studio spaces available across both sites, to develop their product range, and have a base for visitors to see their skills in action. - the Dye studio, Print studio and Framing Studio, which are run by OCH, all offer the local community more specialist products and the opportunity to explore these activities.

Consultation with stakeholders

The company’s stakeholders are residents of and visitors to Orkney, the local artists and the wider community within the local Third Sector and local charities. The directors and staff of the company have lived in Orkney for a number of years and respond to the requests of the community, the customers and the workshop attendees, for the stock ranges to be carried and the content of workshops that they would like to see on offer. The staff, as active stakeholders, are continually developing their skills with new techniques and product to enhance their own development and offer a wider creative experience for the community members and visitors.
