Company activities and impact

Achievements and Performance During the year, ARTBASH & be CIC: - delivered and completed public art project at Globe View funded through the City of London CILN (Community Infrastructure Levy & Neighbourhood) Fund. This was a public art project that worked with three community groups. Each person produced artwork that became part of a digital montage, designed by us, and manufactured by AJ Wells. The project has outstanding longevity in terms of community benefit through the creative health art workshops, the impact of seeing your work in a public space and the benefit derived through the com-munity at large and anyone who walks past it. - was awarded funding through Compass Wellbeing CIC for Boundless Art – a weekly art workshop for neurodivergent teens who are at risk of mental health crisis owing to needs not being met at school. The pro-jected was created after witnessing, first hand, the significant need for neurodivergent young people to have an outlet to support them and prevent mental health crisis. Through Boundless, we are supporting 9 young people in weekly sessions and have supported another two through advocacy with parents/carers. We have a waiting list now with connections across Hackney Youth services meaning we are growing our reach and building on an already positive reputation. - continued funding through the HAF (Holiday & Food) programme via The Department of Education and Barking and Dagenham for holiday art & enrichment camps for children who are in receipt of benefits relat-ed free school meals has meant that we are supporting children who are not able to afford creative and enrichment extra-curricular activities. The sessions also support a lot of families living in insecure housing that is often very cramped and small so the holiday art camps support mental health. Over the last year,, we have supported 120 children through the HAF programme. - Supported the local community in proving 6 free places, to primary aged children, in our local holiday art camps. These children were referred to us through a Families Project supporting mums in insecure housing and a domestic abuse charity supporting mums in getting out of their abusive home and into temporary accommodation for two years. - Supported local perinatal mums who suffered mental health crisis trig-gered by pregnancy and/or birth through CrEATe – in partnership with ELFT and an Occupational Therapist. We support 20 – 24 mums throughout the year.

Consultation with stakeholders

The company’s stakeholders are: Families who pay to have a place at our after-school club – they are communicated with regularly throughout each term and given multiple opportunities, through Google questionnaires, to offer feedback and suggestions. Young people, and their families, who attend Boundless. We are in weekly contact with families and young people attend co-design the projects we run. Funders such as ELFT – working with Occupational Therapist, Faye Peche, we respond to the needs of the patients she works with. Mums who attend CrEATe. CrEATe was implemented as a response to the direct needs and requests of mums to create a social space where there was a clear and active creative focus that babies were allowed in but mums were the primary focus. Continued feedback demonstrates that there is no other social space for mums where they are the focus and not their baby. Families in the community who requested workshops for post primary children. Freelance artists we work with – they run the majority of our after-school sessions and are integral to our growth as a trusted organization. We want to support a diverse range of artists with different skillsets and lived experience in order to offer a dynamic, constantly evolving set of workshops.
