Up For Arts End of Year Report

December 2011

The Up For Arts project is funded by Voluntary Arts England and Liverpool Primary Care Trust.  As is the case for many organisations in this current climate, funding is regularly being withdrawn and therefore it is essential that we demonstrate the fantastic work that Up For Arts has achieved during 2011 in order to try to secure funding for another year.

Laraine Winning who heads the project at Voluntary Arts England had requested that we begin to compile all of our achievements during 2011 in the form of an end of year report highlighting our successes.

Fortunately my organisation skills were up to scratch and we consequently we had full details of all monthly events held during 2011, including feedback forms, photographs and case study examples.

In order to ensure that the report was detailed but punchy, I sought to discuss the more successful of our events (where we had received excellent feedback and had photographic evidence of the success of the event).  The compilation of the report was a particularly lengthy process and involved a lot of liaising with both Laraine and Helen.

Ensuring that you are organised is vital when compiling reports such as this.  It was necessary to be able to access all information 'at the drop of a hat' and to have full knowledge of the dates, locations and type of events held.  My time management skills were also put to the test as the report was required within a tight timescale (as is often the case for these things).

With collaboration from both Helen and Laraine, the report was duly finalised and forwarded to the relevant parties for their consideration.  Watch this space for news regarding whether funding has been successful...
