Company activities and impact

Company Activities and Community Impact This has been a significant year for Shademakers UK with the opening of Department, a new arts and cultural venue in the heart of Ryde town centre on the Isle of Wight, in March 2025. This development represents an important milestone for the organisation and has enabled us to expand our programme of community engagement, creative participation and performance activity. Alongside our established outdoor practice in carnival arts, outdoor theatre and large-scale public performances, Department now provides a permanent base from which we can deliver workshops, exhibitions, performances and participatory creative experiences throughout the year. The growth of the organisation and the opening of Department has also enabled us to expand our team, increasing staff capacity by appointing five additional members of staff during the year, strengthening our ability to deliver our programme of activity and support the communities we work with. Shademakers UK continues to design, produce and perform innovative carnival arts, outdoor performances and participatory events that celebrate creativity, heritage and community identity. Our work takes place both locally on the Isle of Wight and across the UK, and during the year we have collaborated with communities locally as well as with partner groups in areas including Rushmoor and Stoke-on-Trent. Through these partnerships we deliver creative workshops, parades, performances and cultural events that engage both adults and young people in inclusive, creative celebrations. Our work uses art as a tool to support community connection and positive social impact. Through participatory arts practices we enable people to develop creative skills, confidence and a sense of belonging. Our projects bring together diverse groups of participants, often across generations, to create ambitious public events and performances that strengthen community pride and cultural engagement. As a National Portfolio Organisation funded by Arts Council England, Shademakers UK works with a broad cross-section of the community and is committed to ensuring that our activities remain accessible and inclusive. We are particularly proud of the intergenerational nature of our work, with volunteer performers and makers aged from young people through to older adults contributing to performances, parades and events. The organisation currently has approximately 130 community members who regularly volunteer, perform and participate in our activities. Our outreach programme focuses on improving access to arts and culture, particularly for individuals and communities who may face barriers to engagement. Through targeted workshops, community projects and partnerships with local organisations, we aim to reach new audiences and encourage participation in carnival arts, heritage making skills and creative cultural activities. Shademakers UK Carnival Club CIC became a Community Interest Company in July 2015. The organisation is governed by a board of nine directors, who oversee strategic development, financial management and governance. Governance is supported through quarterly board meetings and annual development days where the annual programme, strategic priorities and organisational development are reviewed and planned. The board monitors organisational performance through regular activity and financial reports, including key performance indicators associated with our funding agreements. Arts Council England has confirmed an extension of our National Portfolio Organisation funding through to 2027, providing continued stability for the organisation’s programme of activity and community engagement work. Our programme is supported through a combination of funding sources including Arts Council England, Historic England, the Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS), local authorities and commissioned projects. Through these combined activities, Shademakers UK continues to play an important role in supporting cultural participation, developing creative skills and delivering impactful community-led arts experiences both locally and nationally.

Consultation with stakeholders

Consultation with Stakeholders Shademakers UK works closely with a wide range of stakeholders who support and contribute to the organisation both strategically and financially. Key stakeholders during the year included Arts Council England, the Ryde High Street Heritage Action Zone (HAZ), Historic England, Isle of Wight Council, Ryde Town Council, Ryde Carnival, Newport Carnival and Sandown Carnival, Horse Box Theatre CIC, Ryde Arts CIC and Stitch Department CIC. As a National Portfolio Organisation funded by Arts Council England, Shademakers UK maintains an ongoing dialogue with our Arts Council England Relationship Manager, who monitors our programme of activity and reviews the quality of artistic output, community engagement and organisational development against our agreed activity and business plans. Following consultation with stakeholders and the completion of our capital development project, Arts Council England assessed the organisation as low risk in its most recent monitoring review. The organisation regularly consults with stakeholders in the planning and delivery of its activities. This includes engagement with partner organisations, community groups, volunteers and participants. Stakeholder feedback informs the development and annual review of key organisational documents including our Diversity Action Plan, Environmental Sustainability Action Plan, Investment Plan, Activity Plan and Volunteer Policy. Shademakers UK also maintains an active dialogue with its volunteer members and participants through regular meetings, project evaluations and informal feedback sessions during workshops, rehearsals and events. These discussions help ensure that our activities remain accessible, relevant and responsive to the needs and interests of the communities we serve. Feedback is collected through project evaluation, participant engagement and audience responses, and is used to inform future programme development. In addition, the organisation’s digital platforms and social media channels provide opportunities for audiences and community members to share feedback about events and activities. This ongoing dialogue helps ensure that Shademakers UK
