Company activities and impact

During the year ended 31 May 2026, Arts Forward CIC worked towards its community purpose of delivering workshops to people experiencing mental and physical pain. We trained a volunteer workshop leader in new creative textile skills and delivered our first workshop in November 2025, which reached 40 participants in person and over 500 online. This year was also a period of investment in future delivery. We built our relationship with the Wellcome Trust, and plan to deliver three major workshops with them in 2026/27. We also secured a public commission from Unlimited and Arts Council England to deliver community workshops in 2026/27. All income was used to support these activities and running costs. No dividends were paid, and no assets were transferred other than for the community's benefit.
