The work undertaken by Creative Force from October 2023 to September 2024 was limited and focused on working on smaller projects to bring creativity to young people, mainly 5-12 year olds, and to carers, which, with all of our Directors having undertaken caring roles, we bring real life experience to. We delivered workshops for Christmas / New Year 2023, and for Easter and Summer 2024 Health and Activities programmes at Willingdon Trees Community Centre, based in an economically deprived area in Eastbourne. For Christmas we made carton lanterns, Christmas trees, cards and santas. For new Year we used paper plates to create crowns, all simple yet effective. Every child was able to take something home. We also provided chalk pens for creating Christmas drawings on windows, which also served to provide decoration to the community centre for everyone to enjoy. In March 2024 we delivered a workshop for young people through Eastbourne Education Business Partnership. Small groups of young people, year 6 students attend for a morning to learn about business. Creating something for the Eastbourne Carnival is used as a basis for the learning. Creative Force provided a workshop for a few of the students to make their own masks, determine how much the costs would be and how they would then market the masks to the public. Caring Beyond Belief: Celebrating Caring, Celebrating Diversity’ took place at The Victoria Pavilion, a venue already used by Carer for the Carers as Uckfield Carers Centre, and also widely used by the local community. It was funded by The Chalk Cliff Trust Held in June 2024, the event: Was pen to anyone who is a carer, although targeted carers from ethnically and culturally diverse backgrounds, so bringing together a broad range of carers from all communities; In so doing, we celebrated carers from all backgrounds, recognising their needs and introducing them to the support available to them that is sensitive to culture, ethnicity and religious belief; Offered wellbeing sessions throughout the day, chosen by ethnically and culturally diverse carers to recognise their different cultural heritages. As we were working alongside Care for the Carers, working with some of their carers from diverse backgrounds to co-produce this event, this gave the project a greater profile and support from a well established and recognised organisation in East Sussex. Celebrated and enjoyed the sharing of food, including a ‘bring your own dish’ element, which we have always found is an excellent way to break down barriers and to share experiences. Everyone has to eat and most people enjoy indulging in different cultures via food! The event was also be open to any member of the general public, and to professionals who were interested in learning more about local carers experiences, and what support is available to them.
Creative Force strives to involve people from all backgrounds and from less heard from communities in its work. We spend considerable time networking and making new contacts which will assist us in our aim to work with these communities as well as the general public. When developing projects, Creative Force always consults with stakeholders prior to applying for funding, delivering workshops etc. Much of our work involves consultation at its core and we seek feedback, finding out what local people have enjoyed about our events plus what more they would like included, how they would like to be involved etc. We use this feedback to develop our future projects. In some situations, we facilitate workshops using creative techniques to challenge and develop ideas from people who will benefit most from the plans that are then produced as a result of them. For Caring Beyond Belief, we worked directly with carers from diverse communities to co-produce the event. This engagement created a wonderful programme of joy and relaxation for the carers and a sense of fulfilment that they’d been involved. With our funded projects we consult in the preparation of application with the organisations we will be working with during delivery and, where possible, with people who are likely to be direct beneficiaries. It is imperative that we do this to shape the projects and to ensure that we are delivering best practice as well as quality work that has the greatest impact. We are keen for people to learn about their locale, its history and its community whilst sharing skills and developing new ones, particularly creative skills.
No dividends were drawn during the year. Any expenses incurred by directors were repaid.
