Millers Yard CIC

During the financial year, Millers Yard CIC continued to offer a diverse range of services and facilities designed to meet the needs of different user groups within the community. The company provides high-quality therapy rooms, adaptable meeting spaces, a wellness studio for classes and events, and in-house catering services, all offered at competitive rates to support accessibility and affordability. The company places strong emphasis on flexibility, inclusivity and equality of opportunity, ensuring that its spaces and services can be accessed by a wide range of practitioners, facilitators, organisations and individuals. By bringing together different user and support groups within the City of York and the surrounding area, Millers Yard CIC helps to foster connection, collaboration and a sense of community. During the year, the company experienced increased competition within the local area, including from larger, privately owned organisations operating therapy and wellbeing spaces. In response, the directors focused on strengthening the quality and appeal of the services offered while remaining aligned with the company’s community interest objectives. This included renovating therapy spaces, investing in improved furnishings and upgrading the overall look and feel of the environment to create a more grounded, welcoming and supportive setting. Alongside these improvements, the company continued to offer a range of wellbeing-focused sessions and activities, supporting physical, emotional and mental wellbeing. These activities contributed to maintaining an accessible and supportive space for practitioners and service users alike, reinforcing the company’s role as a community-focused centre. Through these activities, Millers Yard CIC continued to operate in line with its social purpose, delivering services that support accessibility, wellbeing and community engagement.
