During the year ended 31st May 2025, the company continued to operate in accordance with its Community Interest Statement and asset-locked objectives, prioritising social value and community benefit over financial return. Throughout the year, the company delivered a wide range of community-focused, inclusive, and wellbeing-led activities designed to engage individuals, families, volunteers, and partner organisations. These activities included the provision of community events and engagement days, offering safe and welcoming spaces for people to connect, participate, and feel part of their local community. The company ran regular craft clubs and creative sessions, supporting mental wellbeing, social inclusion, and skill-sharing, particularly for individuals at risk of isolation. The company delivered SEND-inclusive opportunities, ensuring activities were accessible and supportive for individuals with additional needs. A number of training days were delivered to support learning, confidence-building, and personal development. The organisation hosted theatre-in-the-woods experiences, seasonal community celebrations including a Halloween event and Christmas market, and informal social initiatives such as Bramble Brews, encouraging conversation, engagement, and peer support. In support of health-related wellbeing, the company hosted NHS social prescribing days, enabling individuals referred through health pathways to access meaningful outdoor, creative, and social activities. Regular gardening clubs, bee training sessions, and the care and development of beehives promoted environmental awareness, sustainability, and practical life skills. The company also facilitated corporate volunteering days, Armed Forces community days, and “Move You In Pack” days, during which the company funded participation opportunities to ensure volunteers could engage fully without financial barriers. Despite the company making a financial loss during the year, activities were successfully delivered by carefully managing resources and focusing on positive community outcomes. The directors believe that the company’s work has delivered clear and measurable social and environmental benefit in line with CIC legislation and regulatory expectations.
