Company activities and impact

BasementArtsProject has continued to provide a series of art exhibitions, community lunches, talks and events for the South Leeds community of Hunslet, Beeston and surrounding postcodes. The local community has a high percentage of people described as economically inactive with high instances of drug and alcohol problems, homelessness and a population of vulnerable adults as well as re-homed ex-offenders, recovering drug addicts and alcoholics and those suffering from effects of domestic abuse. Part of BasementArtsProjects remit is to improve contact between people living in these situations and try to reduce instances of social isolation through the creation of networks through events. We have created and continue to maintain 'The Corner' Pocket Sculpture Park. This is used as a place for small scale concerts, workshops and gatherings. It is open 24hrs a day/7 days a week and is used by the community to have picnics, let children play and sit down whilst waiting for the bus. Daily litter picks on the land and the surrounding streets allow me to chat to the community, many of whom know me by name and associate us with the art projects of the area. We maintain our low carbon footprint environmental remit through recycling, using environmentally friendly materials where possible and operating the majority of our projects hyper-locally. We have had 516 visitors to our small venue in 2025 and will likely exceed 2024's visitor figures (624) by the end of the year. 40% of these visitors have come from the South Leeds area; the community that BasementArtsProject is embedded at the heart of. BasementArtsProject is a phenomenological project in which lived experience is central to everything. We believe that acceptance and effective learning happens when people do not realise that it is happening. Our programme deals with the removal of barriers within the community and is based around five pillars: Art as Entertainment, Education, Engagement & Employment and ultimately Empowerment. We also provide artists at the beginning of their career with exhibitions, experiences, opportunities, mentoring, and assistance in achieving their visions. We continue to build long-term relationships with artists from the programme who wish to use their skills in the community context that BasementArtsProject promotes. We continue to find new ways to engage people with art and creativity in a way that assists them in their daily life, such as the skills transferable to other areas of life associated with artistic practice. I have initiated a Tenants and Residents Association for the area of which I am chair. This allows me to be informed of issues in the area which I may not otherwise know about and help to signpost agencies that will help residents. As Basement and the Tenants and Resident Association we work closely with Leeds City Council and West Yorkshire Police. Through this work we have not only provided a point of creative interest and activity but also a cleaner and safer local neighbourhood.

Consultation with stakeholders

Our programme at BasementArtsProject is driven by the responses and reactions from our audience. These interactions do extend beyond the BasementArtsProject venue to those who engage with me in the streets on my daily litter picks of 'The Corner' Pocket Sculpture Park and surrounding streets. This can be conversations about issues in the area or about our public sculpture 'Jacob's Ladder' which stands at the heart of 'The Corner'. My programme at BasementArtsProject also comes into play in my position as a Director for South Leeds Life Newspaper, my role as Community Governor of Cockburn John Charles Multi-Academy Trust and as the Chair of the Garnet/Oakley Tenants and Resident Association. Through these avenues I regularly work with many of the local primary and secondary schools as well as community centres, groups and forums My regular involvement with Leeds Beckett University, Leeds Arts University and Leeds City College, and their inclusion in our programme brings them in as external advocates for further and higher education in our area. Equally our involvement with wider Leeds, National and International events that we are part of benefit the local area through the experiences that we and the artists bring back with us to South Leeds.

Directors' remuneration

I received £13129.96 in position as Curator, Project Manager, Designer, Web Design & Content Management, Marketing, Interpretation, Technician, Documentation & Archivist, Workshop Facilitator, Artist, Writer and in the case of the Lunchtime Conversation community events: Chief Cook and Bottle Washer.
