Partnership
and innovation Many of our delivery partners are forging new cross sector partnerships with organisations including the NHS, local authorities, tourism agencies and businesses, sharing expertise and resources in a time of financial difficulty. This is an innovative way of developing arts activity, and many of our projects themselves embrace innovation, creating new and original works and participation opportunities.Art and culture Igniting Ambition in the East Midlands has worked with six local authorities to bring together a comprehensive programme of cultural activity, delivering 27 projects during 2010. As well as local authorities, Igniting Ambition has worked with local universities, artists, festivals, arts organisations and local councils to bring together a cultural showcase
in the region attended by 184,000 people.In the North West, Abandon Normal Devices is an innovative new cinema and digital culture festival that aims to challenge and entertain audiences and participants through a range of sensory and experimental art. The 2010 festival took place in Manchester and explored physical, social and technological normality across various art forms. Images from one performance, 'Shrink' were later used by the North West Development Agency to advertise on the London Underground, significantly raising the profile of the project.Sport, health and wellbeingsomewhereto is a unique project which helps young people find spaces they need to do the things they love by working with space owners across the UK. In 2010 the project recruited regional coordinators in Scotland, Northern Ireland, the North East and London to work with local space owners and young people to facilitate somewheretos in their area. The programme has already matched 85 spaces with young people including Goodmayes Park in Redbridge for parkour training sessions, Sunderland Empire Theatre for a young magician to perform magic tricks and Gorgie War Memorial Hall in Edinburgh for dance rehearsals. Education and volunteeringRELAYS has taken an innovative approach to volunteering. Working with all the higher education institutions in the South West, the programme has engaged student volunteers to share their expertise with children, such as the University of Bristol American Football team who coached children at the Bristol Festival of School Sport. This approach not only engages students in volunteering and sharing their skills, but also encourages children to aspire to further education by meeting current students and hearing about university life.uScreen in the South East is a groundbreaking online resource for young people to share, plan, create and add accessibility features to their own films. The platform provides interactive advice and mentoring for all young people but is particularly tailored to adapt to disabled young people's needs.Legacy Trust UK: Annual Review 2010/1115 "You have gone one step further than any of us, these tools have exciting features and real depth, much more than is currently out there."Channel 4 on Accentuate's uScreen project16Legacy Trust UK: Annual Review 2010/11 |
