| OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES |
| Objectives and aims |
| A.F.T.S has successfully completed all this year's projects, aims and objectives within selected schools in the North West and North Wales, and Lancashire. |
| 1: This year we have attracted Lottery funding, donations and some partnership funding, all helping us sustain the maintenance, tax and insurance, upkeep of the vehicles, domain registrations and website renewals and upkeep. We have further developed our creative hub area in West Lancashire known as "Communitas" and are used by our volunteer helpers, and the local community including other charitable organisations helping to facilitate various workshops, creative activities and tuition. |
| 2: Our creative team and volunteers as usual have been really prolific and busy and innovative concerning our projects, ensuring maximum benefit and enriching the participants and the end user, and the institutions. Our benefactors include the "Rainbow Kids" special needs care centre, catering for 5-25 year Olds, Bewley Drive Carers centre for adults with complex needs, transforming their centres into a relaxing and safe space etc. |
| 3: Our music and art workshops have been very popular this year thanks to the National lottery community fund, and we will continue with these workshops on a regular basis. |
| 4: We held many art workshops for adults with complex needs at our community hub "Communitas" teaching a wide range of skills, drawing and painting techniques |
| 5: We completed a local wildlife mural, also featuring local landmarks, flora and fauna at the Bewley drive carers centre in Kirkby, transforming their centre and making the people who go there very happy. We had many days where their users came and painted with us, having fun and learning new skills. |
| 6: We held music and poetry workshops for the first time this year, funded by the national lottery community fund, and they were held alongside our art workshops which were very successful. |

| OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES |
| Significant activities |
| The Art for Their Sake team has been engaged in embracing many local community charities, care groups, and CIC like the invaluable, JJ's, Activate and other connected groups. We have also provided projects and tuition for specific specialist primary schools and academies; all of the projects were a resounding success and have led to many future opportunities, call-backs and projects. |
| AFTS provided a substantial all inclusive and educational mural art projects at "Bewley Drive Carers centre" in Kirkby, Liverpool, catering for all demographics within the institution, and all abilities. |
| All our amazing volunteers came together to enable us to create a pleasant, educational, multi-coloured environment, transforming the original drab, draconian interior of the institution. |
| We're now busy planning projects into the next two years |
| Communitas art and crafts hub (now including music and poetry) |
| Art for their sake has had great success once again, in combining the various "Communitas" community arts and craft events providing practical tuition and guidance within the creation of a huge mural on 8x4 M.D.F segments that would also be donated to various children's institutions. |
| These AFTS practical workshops are also linked in with our fundraising events and charitable weekend events. |
| We aim to offer various and diverse workshops going forward and embrace a larger demographic, and cater for all levels of abilities. |
| Arts and music |
| AFTS is now producing a recording studio space to bring forward the option of embracing digital finished production, enabling users to bring to fruition to their song creations to a very high standard. |
| Volunteers |
| Art for Their Sake is appreciative of the valuable contribution of our volunteers and are pleased that we have attracted many more volunteers over the years. Our volunteers consists of many skilled and professionals including Artists, Joiners, plasterers, muralists, cartoonists, musicians, electricians, graphic designers etc. This now gives the AFTS charity the unbridled opportunity to tackle so many larger and diverse projects and schemes benefitting so many more people across a much wider demographic and giving us the potential to teach and offer more skills in the local community. |
