The trustees who are also directors of the charity for the purposes of the Companies Act 2006, present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 March 2025. The trustees have adopted the provisions of Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019).

OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES

Policies and objectives

The principle object of the charity is to educate and assist people of all ages who have learning difficulties, physical disabilities, sensory disabilities, people who use mental health services and others disadvantaged in society by developing their physical, social,spiritual, mental and artistic potential, so that they may grow and develop as individuals and members of their communities, and that their quality of life may improve.

In furtherance of the above, the charity aims to provide, in Swindon and Wiltshire, facilities to experience art through music, drama, dance,film and visual arts to create opportunities for personal and professional development.

Significant activities

Partners Theatre Company (PTC)

PTC is a touring performance company of up to 20 adults who have a range of disabilities and additional needs. For over 20 years, PTC has been entertaining audiences with original drama that encapsulates their unique take on life and the many issues that this raises, particularly for those who have disabilities or additional needs.

For many years PTC has been synonymous with touring high quality, high production value, original drama to large audiences throughout the local area. In addition to public performances, they tour to Special Education Needs and Disabilities (SEND) Schools, voluntary sector organisations, local charities and private companies. Their performances are relatable, fun and thought provoking.

The weekly sessions are facilitated by professional drama practitioners who develop the confidence and skills of participants. In a nurturing environment up to 20 participants challenge themselves, enhancing their theatre skills and producing drama that they are proud of. This engagement enables them to be any character they want, create their own story and grow as individuals.

Right Time for Art

A well-attended weekly art group benefitting up to 20 adults with a diverse range of disabilities, additional needs and disadvantages.

The group meets at the Wyvern Theatre and is supported by a professional artist, staff and volunteers. Accessing a wide range of art projects participants develop their skills, enabling them to reach their own individual goals. For most participants this is the only activity that they do each week, and they flourish in this supportive, creative environment, often trying new and innovative art. Therapeutic benefit is derived through shared artistic endeavours which develop physical, social, cognitive and artistic potential improving participants levels of confidence, self-esteem and wellbeing. Art is created for personal enjoyment and also to support other RIA projects with the creation of stage sets, logo's, programmes and publicity. The group regularly exhibits their own work, affirming achievements and inspiring others.

Neon Lights

Beginning in September 2024 Neon Lights provides a range of innovative and engaging opportunities for young disabled or disadvantaged people, aged 16-25, to experience theatre, performance and drama. Weekly sessions are facilitated by young leaders and professional staff who enable young people to develop their drama skills, express their creativity and have fun. Neon Lights regularly perform their work to their peers, parents and carers with the group potentially offering the opportunity for young people to become part of larger touring productions of original drama through Partners Theatre Company.

Public benefit

The Trustees have paid due regard to the Charity Commission's guidance on public benefit in deciding what activities the Charity should undertake. The Trustees consider that they have acted in the public benefit and have discharged their responsibilities accordingly. Significant activities outlined above are designed to meet the charity's public benefit obligations.

ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE

Charitable activities

For over 40 years Reach Inclusive Arts (RIA) has been the only local charity providing a variety of artistic opportunities for people, of all ages, who have disabilities or additional needs in Swindon and surrounding county of Wiltshire.

Many of our participants have learning disabilities, physical disabilities, mental health issues, sensory impairment and may experience social disadvantages such as loneliness and isolation.

The charity aims to leave the lasting sense of acceptance for disadvantaged people through the arts, exhibition and performance.

Throughout the year RIA creates opportunities for people to take part in drama, rehearse, perform, provide backstage support, create, paint, draw, exhibit, tour and showcase how talented they are.

RIA prides itself on developing creative talents, often with people who've never had that experience before.

Quality is paramount with projects fully supported by staff and led by professional directors, artists and performers so that participants can grow and develop their skills, producing artistic work they are proud of and want to share with others.

What our participants produce is powerful and inspirational, raising awareness of the issues faced by disabled and disadvantaged people and shining the light on their talents, skills and capabilities.

Projects

Partners Theatre Company (PTC)

The PTC main focus for the year was preparing for their tour of an original drama, 'To The Edge of The World', which was scheduled for the autumn. This was a huge learning curve for the staff team at RIA, as none had been involved in a tour before. Under the expert guidance of Director Kerry Boorman, RIA planned a lengthy rehearsal period to ensure that the cast had adequate time to learn the complexities of their lines, scenes and costume changes and also embrace the dynamic of working with supporting professional actors. The standard of the production that emerged was incredible. The quality of the performance was reflected by audiences including schools, community groups, other charities and the public. A key development this year was having 2 British Sign Language fully signed performances. The impact of this was magical, enabling us to be more inclusive to both our cast, participants and audiences alike. The interaction between a cast member and a primary aged student, from a school that supports deaf children, was a very special moment. In a week PTC toured in 8 venues, delivering 9 performances to over 500 people.

In the last quarter of the year the focus for PTC has been on reviewing the groups model, aims and objectives, recruiting new members and preparing ideas for the future.

Working with our work experience students, from a local Special Education Needs and Disabilities (SEND) school, we have evolved their role to provide regular volunteering to support PTC.

PTC were supported through grants and donations from Arts Council England, Columbia Threadneedle, Rix Thompson Rothenburg and Hilliers

Right Time for Art

The weekly sessions offered up to 20 people the opportunity to develop their artistic skills and talents.

'In Reach' was an impactful project at the start of the year. A collaboration of portrait art, an exhibition of the work of our participants and professional artists, adorned the walls of the Wyvern Theatre for 10 months. At the launch event a palpable sense of pride was felt as members of the public admired the artwork. Thousands of people would have seen the artwork when visiting the theatre and the positive comments reflect the creativity, quality and impact that this exhibition created.

We continue to raise awareness of dementia through art focussed projects during Dementia Awareness Week. Tote bags were created and sold raising funds for both local dementia support and RIA.

In July we were delighted that the art group was successful in their application to Awards for All National Lottery funding to support the group for 2 years. This funding is instrumental in not only supporting the group but in enabling the group to thrive. The length of funding offers security where art projects can be fully planned allowing for ideas for the future come to fruition.

A further collaboration with 'Steam' created the group's artistic take on the Caerphilly train. From a site visit and photographic images captured by a volunteer, 'Caerphilly Does It' captures individual elements of the train drawn and created by each group member. The overall effect is breathtaking. This artwork will be exhibited at 'Steam' next year as part of celebrating 200 years of the Modern Railways.

Christmas offered the opportunity to connect with local care homes by sending hand crafted cards to residents. This small act of kindness has ignited a friendship that will lead to other developments in the future.

The Art Group has been expertly led by Billy Beaumont and fully supported by 3 amazing volunteers.

Our grateful thanks to the National Lottery Awards for All, AMMCO and private donations for their financial support during the year

Neon Lights

The culmination of months of preparation by the working group resulted in Neon Lights Youth Drama group being launched in September.

This exciting venture has led us into uncharted waters. Setting up a project from scratch has enabled us to implement an inclusive model where the group is led by a working group that includes staff members, the new role of 'young leaders', trustees and practitioners. This has offered us the opportunity to explore new concepts, be flexible according to need, develop ways of working and deliver a much needed, unique project for up to 15 young people who have disabilities and disadvantages. Group members have benefitted from the guidance of different practitioners, exploring concepts, stage craft and creating great drama.

Funding from the Blagrave Trust has fully supported this project and offered us the opportunity to put young people centre stage in every aspect of the group's management and delivery. Blagrave Trust network of peer support to staff has also been hugely welcome.

Organisation Development

This year has continued our pledge to not only maintain the projects and services that RIA is synonymous with but to also begin to develop what we offer.

Developments included the launch of our new website, a focus on marketing, trustee recruitment, contract reviews, stringent financial and business planning and re-evaluating our risks.

RIA recognised that we have the opportunity to 'Develop Our Reach' and with funding from Arts Council England (ACE) we entered a phase of researching and developing RIA for the future.

Work commenced at pace in January where we have examined every aspect of the organisation, our mission and values, how we operate, the projects we deliver and the opportunities that we have. We have made great progress on a whole raft of infrastructure work, identifying areas of weakness, recognising what we do well and ensuring that we have robust organisational foundations to build on for the future. We started to consider our models of practice, how we run projects and how we ensure the voice of participants is at the centre of everything we do.

We have welcomed new trustees to support our work bringing key skills and experience to our governance. This work will continue into the next financial year enthusiastically supported by staff, trustees, participants and contractors.

Volunteers

We have received a great deal of support in kind and this year through support in our regular weekly, groups, pro bono help and expertise and at specific events. Volunteers add so much to our organisation and we are extremely grateful to each and every person who supports us.

FINANCIAL REVIEW

Financial position

Financially this was a year of recovery for RIA. Our planned deficit for last year meant that financial stability was now crucial. Finances have been scrutinised, monitored and fundraising planned, resulting in a healthy position as the organisation goes forward with a surplus of £4131. This is a remarkable achievement and we appreciate every single organisation that understands our impact and potential and has invested in us.

We constantly experience how challenging maintaining good financial health is and this is further compromised by the news, after over 3 decades of funding, of the withdrawal of core funding from Swindon Borough Council for the next financial year. RIA has a great track record in securing funding from a diverse range of funders, but the lack of core funding is an extra challenge and risk that we will have to manage.

Reserves policy

It is the policy of the charity to maintain unrestricted funds, which are the free reserves of the charity, at a level that equates to not less than six months unrestricted expenditure. This provides sufficient funds to cover management, administration and support costs. At 31st March 2025, unrestricted reserves were £44,549, which represents just over six months of projected core expenditure for 2025/6

FUTURE PLANS

ACE Research and Development funding will be instrumental in preparing RIA for the future. Following the framework of Charities Essential Toolkit we will review everything that we do as an organisation, recognising our strengths, celebrating what we do well and planning for change where there are gaps or the opportunity to do things differently.

We will continue to run our impactful projects, taking participants with us as we adapt. Listening to their views is essential to the success of this and we look forward to developing their influential role within the organisation through leadership and Ambassador roles.

This coming year is one of understanding, learning, maintaining what works well, strengthening so that we can evolve and embracing opportunities. Continuing to build relationships with other organisations not only adds vibrancy to what we do but is essential to the success of our work. We have plans to increase our connections with both local and regional organisations, exploring collaboration and joint working.

STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT

Governing document

The charity was incorporated as a company limited by guarantee on 11th April 2005, operates under Memorandum and Articles of Association dated 12th June 2017, and is a registered charity. The members of the charitable company guarantee to contribute an amount not exceeding £1 to the assets of the charitable company in the event of winding up.

Recruitment and appointment of new trustees

The trustees have a wide range of experience covering business, education, IT, health and the community sector. If the trustees identify a major gap in their corporate skillset, then a process is agreed for recruiting a new trustee with appropriate abilities. Potential trustees are identified as persons who are interested in the charity, offering the key skills needed.

Organisational structure

The charitable company is ultimately controlled by the Board of Directors and Trustees which delegates responsibility for the charity's management to the Operations Manager and the Arts Project Coordinator. The staff are appointed by the Board of Trustees and are accountable to them. The staff are responsible for line management of volunteers and freelance contractors.

Induction and training of new trustees

Following a period of being co-opted to the trustee board, new trustees are voted on at the Annual General Meeting, and receive any necessary training. Trustees meet at least on a quarterly basis, where they receive key reports relating to the charity's artistic projects, finance and general management. trustees also attend projects and events throughout the year.
