Principal activities of the company

Creative Curiosities SW CIC became a CIC in Early 2023 with a strong focus on supporting Children and Young people who are Neurodiverse to develop, expand and create opportunities for Social Change leading to enhanced education and employment and understanding within those communities we support.We do this by providing a range of activities and services determined by those communities we support. Any Surplus from these activities are recycled into funding activities for children and young people who are disadvantaged. Overall we have had a successful first year as a CIC turning over £75,364.00. Our operating costs came to £75,124.60 leaving a surplus of £239.40 which has been added to our community fund.Whilst it has been overall learning curve and really getting to grips with our community and the needs thereof, we have successfully managed to navigate through our first year. Looking into next year with a strong start we are looking to add many new services and redevelop how we work, this is needed in order to access more funding and develop meaningful services needed in our community. We will achieve this by reviewing how we work, the services we would like to offer, how we fund these through a mixture of commercial gain and charitable funding and how we set our pricing structure moving forward. We are aiming to increase our turnover by third moving into the next financial year and we are also excited to add a further two directors to the business in order to enhance skills and diversify our offering. With all that in mind I was delighted to see what impact we’ve had, we’ve reached far into rural communities as well as smaller communities within Plymouth and I believe we have delivered many successful projects and inspired people to set up groups and services within their communities.Our Impact:Supported over 60 children and young people through a variety of free programmes and services including therapy sessions such as drawing and talking, Lego therapy, Day trips and support. Supported and enabled 2 former service users to Volunteer with us in order to support more people. Provided free Weekly actively activities for more than 30 children and young people to explore the creative arts and STEM activities. Provided free Youth Club Activities for Neurodiverse Children and Young people. Our Services:The Services we have provided over the last year were;School Holiday Fit and Fed ClubsDrawing and talking therapyLego therapyCooking and creating food groupsTheatre and arts production groupsSTEM learning groupOutdoor pursuits groupTutoring services for young peopleAll of this is made possible through a mixture of external funding (grants) and our commercial activities (Paid groups) to generate the income needed for the provision. We are looking forward growing all the services and providing more in the future.Derren S Felber – Director
