Social Connective was set up to deliver projects in Staffordshire, focusing on building social connectivity and community regeneration. Working with other local community organisations Social Connective delivers events and projects in the local area, focusing predominantly on Biddulph in the Staffordshire Moorlands. We have organised eight Repair Cafes, which provide free repairs of items to the immediate and neighbouring community. This service provides individuals in the community the opportunity to repair things that they would otherwise have to pay to replace, have cherished memories or are integral to their livelihood. Over the year we have repaired 52 items (71% success rate). This provides a vital service to members of the community who couldn't afford to replace essential household items. Alongside the repair Cafe we run additional activities focused around sustainability, health and wellbeing including craft workshops. We have additionally run comedy and music events. These aim to bring something new to the area at a heavily subsidised or free ticket price. Feedback on our events has been very positive with attendees noting they felt they could attend something new, that it was accessible and inclusive.
Our stakeholders are the local residents of Biddulph and the surrounding area. One of the directors of the company grew up in the area and has strong local ties with family residing in Biddulph. We run both community activities and events in and around Biddulph. Our main activity is the monthly Repair Cafe and Community Hive at which we seek feedback on the event from the individuals who engage with it. We ask them to identify both negative and positive elements and where they heard about us. We reflect upon and make reasonable changes to the way I’m which are community events are run in response to these. Regarding the repair cafes run this year, feedback has been overwhelmingly positive but we have made minor changes in our marketing and engagement to reach a broader audience. We have run activities again which were positively received and which participants stated they saw a direct benefit from. We have a core of local volunteers who work with the directors to run the repair Cafe and engage actively to seek their opinion on the smooth running.
