COMMUNITY INTEREST ANNUAL REPORT

ARTCONNEXION UK CIC

Company Number: 11256842 (England and Wales)

Year Ending: 31 March 2026

Company activities and impact

We were delighted to receive funding from the National Lottery Community Fund to deliver a CreativiTEA – Wake up the Wonder project for those experiencing street homelessness in our community and to receive further funding from the Cornwall Community Fund (CCF) to develop our work in this area. The CCF were particularly impressed by the work we have been doing and we are pleased that our innovative, creative approach is being recognised by such funders. We were also thrilled to receive funding form the Sedel-Collings Foundation to be able to develop and deliver a Wellbeing Vending Machine project offering Snacks for the Soul. We worked with wide and diverse groups in the community to explore the notion of wellbeing – what it is and how we can nurture it for both ourselves and others. The project inspired the creation of the wellbeing vending machine that was showcased at a celebratory community event and a radio show which was featured on our local radio station. We were pleased also to continue our Poetry Plane initiative and to work with Japanese artist Maki Suzuki who was the judge for our international FLYku contest, which we celebrated at Bodmin eco airfield. Once again, we saw poems written on seeded paper being fluttered from the Poetry Plane both there and over the Somme in July 2025. Where the poems landed they grew into flowers as a symbol of peace and friendship. We were pleased to be able to deliver an interactive performance as part of a major NHS Women’s Wellbeing conference which has led to discussions with Cornwall’s integrated care board about further collaborations.

Consultation with stakeholders

Our major stakeholders are the company’s directors and the community as a whole. We have consulted with wide and diverse groups in the community - including youth groups, schools; community leaders; street homeless organisations; pain cafes; the NHS and local councils- offering taster sessions and open days where people can come together to find out about the work we do and to give feedback on how best to shape projects that will best help the community’s needs and address the problems they are facing. As result of such consultation, it is still clear that loneliness and isolation, poor mental health, low levels of literacy, lack of housing, social cohesions and aspirations are still the key factors. As a result of such consultation, the Directors have used all the ideas gathered to focus on projects which are achievable in scale and help address these problems. By their very nature, our projects are community led and involve absolutely everybody regardless of age or background or ability, helping to improve levels of physical and mental health and wellbeing, raise aspirations and levels of literacy and to reduce loneliness and isolation and increase social cohesion. Our work is international in scope but with the local community at its heart and we are pleased that our French partners are keen to continue and celebrate our work in France, especially with the Poetry Plane project. We are also now in consultation GWR to deliver a new community rail project called ‘Installation Stations’ and to develop a cookbook for our CreativiTEA work that can be marketed to help raise further revenue to allow our work to be sustainable.
