In furtherance, the organisation will promote equal access for all to the performing arts in Stranraer, Wigtownshire, and Dumfries and Galloway and promote and ensure equal opportunities to participation in theatre making by providing opportunities and activities for those who do not easily have access to drama workshops, theatre and performance. Achievements & Performance Having become a registered charity on 20 March 2020, we now have 28 members and 4 board members and have seven volunteers who have worked with us over the year. PCS has members with a wide range of skills and abilities, who form a diverse community including LGBTQ, BAME, neurodivergent and physically challenged individuals, all able to fully participate in every aspect of our activities. From June to the end of August 2019, we prioritised fund raising and recruitment. PCS ran two stalls giving information and collecting in names and contacts – one at YouthBeaz (June) and one on Douglas Day at Castle Douglas (July). For the show Unsupervised Adulting, the assistant director/producer (a PCS member) secured £1,000 from the Holywood Trust towards accommodation and transport. PCS members collectively raised just over £1,000 through our first attempt at crowdfunding. Another member secured £750 from ICC funding towards her working with another member’s new theatre company Rural Riches, to run workshops for young people in Crossmichael Village Hall, with a windfarm community award of £500.

A 2nd Cohort has enrolled 10 new PCS members. Training of mentors and the pairing mentors and mentees took place in January 2020. The mentoring programme became digital in March during lockdown and will finish in September 2020. The 3rd cohort of 20 mentees is planned to start in January 2021. Artistic Development Labs The 1st Lab Residential Development Lab was held in Wigtown in December with 10 young people. The 2nd Lab Residential took place in January with 13 young artists coming together to train, hone their skills, gain new skills, and develop their own ideas for productions. The labs are run by PCS Artistic Director and 2 of Scotland’s leading theatre artists and . Alas, the 3rd Lab (fully booked with 19 young theatre practitioners) was planned for May 2020 but was cancelled due to the government lockdown as a result of the COVID-19 Pandemic. 4 TRUSTEES ANNUAL REPORT For the Period Ended 31 March 2020 Achievements & Performance Cont.

COVID-19 Response In April, the Creative Director initiated bi-weekly zoom meetings for our members, alongside weekly phone calls and emails to each member. We also had a Town Hall meeting to consult about the future and created our first digital Art Guide. Art Guides are videos designed to give PCS members an insight into the working practice of artists living in Scotland right now. We adapted the first of these to make it available to the public through You Tube. Plans for the Future DG Arts Live has awarded PCS £5,000 plus £2,000 ‘in-kind’ to expand the show Unsupervised Adulting for rural touring across Dumfries and Galloway as soon as theatre restrictions are lifted, possibly in Autumn 2020. The PCS environmental policy is being drafted. Whilst we acknowledge the vast distances needed for travel across Dumfries and Galloway we want to encourage as much communal travel as possible, minimising our carbon footprint and fostering a sense of community with our artist cohort. We an application to The Holywood Trust for a new project, PCS: Cultivate, a professional development initiative designed to further professionalise our rural young performing artists, helping improve their employability through a bespoke programme of one to one mentoring and skills development activities. Financial Review All funds are unrestricted. Total Receipts were £33,188 and payments for the year were £25,130, resulting in a surplus for the year of £8,058.

Photographs also by Alan Devlin and Dumfries and Galloway Tourist Board This publication has been, designed and funded by a partnership of: Supported by Solway Heritage through the Landfill Tax Credit Scheme A Message from the Health Improvement Group Cycling can seriously improve your health & happiness. Enjoy! CYCLING IN STEWARTRY This booklet is one of a series of four covering the whole of Dumfries & Galloway that suggest a variety of cycle tours for visitors and locals of all abilities. Local cycling enthusiasts, using their knowledge of the quieter roads, cycle routes and byways, have researched the routes to provide an interesting and rewarding taste of the region. A note of distance, time, terrain and facilities is given at the start of each route. All start points offer parking, toilets, snack places and accommodation. Some routes include stretches off-tarmac and this is indicated at the start of the route. Parking discs are required for some car parks and these are available at Tourist Information Centres and in local shops. Stewartry is part of the old province of Galloway. In those centuries when the easiest way to travel any distance was by sea, it held a strategic place on the west coast, Irish and Isle of Man routes. This explains the many archaeological remains near the coast.

We need to hear from you by the 4th May for signing up to the training day. If you can’t make the full day let us know as we can arrange separate sessions for you. We’re looking for adult volunteers (18+) in the Glenkens who would like to help with running of our pop-up youth spaces in the Glenkens between June- August 2021 as part of our youth spaces project and who may be interested in paid for youth work supporting the continuation of these youth spaces going forward in our villages. We are hoping to build on skills locally to be able to provide youth club provision for our young people- something the Community Action Plan has identified and that young people have told us they need locally. What is the time commitment? The time commitment for the project over the Summer could be as little as 2.5 hrs every two weeks or once a month if that’s what you can spare. Or up to 3 hrs a week. This will be in the evening or at weekends or occasionally during the day-time during school holidays. What will this volunteer work will look like? Supporting youth club sessions at New Galloway Town Hall – helping with activities, being there for a chat, setting up the space. Supporting outdoor sessions in the park during August with our trial of an outdoor pop-up youth club.
