COMMUNITY INTEREST ANNUAL REPORT

MAY PROJECT GARDENS CIC

Company Number: 09903514 (England and Wales)

Year Ending: 31 December 2021

Company activities and impact

Community work: Community work continued with the programme participants MPG were supporting since 2020. During the winter months indoor spaces that could facilitate the size of the group in accordance with social distancing were sought outside of the MPG premises. Activities were therefore held at Farm Road, the Barbican Conservatory, MPG and Marcus Lipton Youth center. These included music sessions, art therapy and collective drawing, football, entrepreneurship and media workshops, story telling. Peer to peer sessions and one to one support were also provided. Together, these provided the young people creative ways to express and overcome the social isolation many of them were experiencing, compounded by lockdowns. Garden: The garden was open to the public on a few occasions, facilitated by the programme participants. This provided an opportunity to strengthen their planning, leadership and social skills, gaining confidence in the process. MPG underwent significant organisational restructuring, so for a period the garden was closed, allowing it to rest and the MPG team and activities to be rebuilt. It has reopened this year to the public offering weekly wellbeing and permaculture related workshops. Come we Grow: These events continued during 2021, with the objective of bringing together music and environmental consciousness. These events help build and strengthen community connections and support diversity and inclusion within the environmental movement space. Untelevised: A media channel and podcast focused on discussing various topics related to social justice was run under MPG until Jun 2021.

Consultation with stakeholders

MPGs stakeholders, namely its programme participants, inform programme design and activities. Last year the range of activities that were offered were in response to the diverse needs and preferences of the participants. During the activities verbal feedback was collected and this informed how each participant required support outside of the outlined programme. Where possible then MPG leveraged its network to support their personal growth, with one young man giving live cooking lessons on our social media channels and others enabled to participate as speakers in conferences and / or set up with internships and further skill building experiences.This year, feedback is being strengthened through the utilisation of an iteratively designed monitoring framework, where participant perspectives will be more integral to the design of programmes from inception aswell as the ways in which they are therefore measured. Further, an objective of the current workshops are to engage the public on upcoming programme ideas and enable their collaboration and feedback.
