Company activities and impact

In the space provided below, please insert a general account of the company’s activities in the financial year to which the report relates, including a description of how they have benefited the community. During 2023 The Outdoor Club CIC has delivered over 100 sessions to the local community, including baby, toddler, child, adult and family sessions linked to the aims of the CIC. These sessions have focused on connecting individuals with the outdoors and each other. The sessions have included outdoor stay and play groups, wellbeing sessions for new parents and for families with young children, school and holiday sessions that focus on Forest School, as well as pop up outdoor sessions that focus on community connection, adult wellbeing sessions and sessions that support other local organisations e.g a Saturday morning pop up cuppa club to coincide with the nature reserve’s volunteer morning. In 2023, The Outdoor Club CIC worked with over 140 families, on over 40 events, all within the NN6 area.

Consultation with stakeholders

Our key stakeholders are families, charities, individuals, children and adults in our local community (mainly within the NN6 area of Northamptonshire). We also seek feedback from other key stakeholders including our volunteers, directors and charities that we work with. We gain feedback from our stakeholders by asking for feedback during sessions and at intervals throughout the year. The feedback normally takes the form of a written forms, the majority of feedback we gather is anonymous to ensure honest from stakeholders. The majority of feedback forms indicate that the families value the sessions, that they are beneficial to their family’s mental and physically wellbeing and that they enjoy the snacks, cakes and hot drinks. Our volunteers feel valued and enjoy being part of the community. In 2023 we introduced an outdoor after school club at the local infant school, following on from suggestions of our key stakeholders. This is being developed further in 2024 with outdoor wellbeing sessions being integrated into a local school. Families identify that they would like to see more regular sessions, including sessions during the schools holidays. We are finding it difficult to accommodate more term time morning sessions due to the limited time we are able to use our regular venue. When consulting with adults that have take part in wellbeing sessions, they have indicated that the sessions have had a positive impact on their wellbeing and that it has helped them to connect with nature. They would like to see more specific wellbeing sessions for adults to be run more regularly. The current limitation is venue hire and affordability. This year, we have seen more families struggle with the cost of living, which unfortunately has coincided with increased costs to us as an organisation. Families would like us to seek more grants to make sessions more affordable.
