Making Things Up CIC secured funding from Arts Council England to deliver 21 free improv comedy workshops in partnership with the homeless charity Coffee4Craig. The sessions took place at Coffee4Craig’s cafe, The Meanwhile, on Great Ducie Street in Manchester. Seven of these workshops fell within this accounting period. The workshops were designed for socially isolated people in Greater Manchester, including those experiencing homelessness, mental health challenges and poverty. They achieved their aim of reducing isolation, fostering interaction and building confidence. This was evidenced through feedback from participants and support workers at Coffee4Craig.
Our stakeholders are workshop participants, support organisations, and our team of artists and staff. We consult them through participant feedback (Outcome Star evaluations, observation, discussions), staff surveys and meetings, and partner records. Feedback shows 100% of participants report improved wellbeing and confidence, 75% develop improv skills, and around 50% take steps to reintegrate into society. Artists and staff report improved skills in creating accessible work. Suggestions, such as extending workshops, are being considered. All feedback informs ongoing planning, ensuring our activities benefit participants and partners.
In total, the three directors received remuneration of £3,120 during the period. £645 of this was remuneration in return for their services as officers of the Company. The remaining £2,475 was freelance production team remuneration.
No transfer of assets other than for full consideration
