Company activities and impact

All the Small Things CIC are a Social Action Hub, affiliated to Community Organisers Ltd and members of the Academy of Community Organising. Each strand of work is co-developed with an action group involving people with lived experience/ expertise. Through our Organisational Development Review we have a clear focus on the geographical community of Shelton and 4 areas of inclusive social action with active local and national partnerships around each - Loneliness, Cohesion, Poverty and Environment. We gained funding from the Civic Power Fund, the Know Your Neighbourhood Fund and the Poverty Truth Network to progress work in these areas. In our accounting year 2023-24 the CIC’s activities have benefited the community in the following ways: We joined Online Centres Network, and got funding from the Good Things Foundation to set up a wifi network, computers and 2 tablets at St Mark’s to support people to access the internet and online information and learning. The Raising Voices group, with core members from Staffordshire University and Expert Citizens, involves people with lived experience of poverty to push for change to reduce inequalities. We’re planning a Cost of Living Summit and exploring the development of a Poverty Truth Commission in Stoke on Trent to influence local and national decisions. The Stoke on Trent Loneliness Strategic Partnership collaborate to address isolation in our communities. The membership has developed Terms of Reference and an Action Plan. We have active contributions from public health in Stoke and Staffs local authorities and many voluntary organisations. We held 3 Great Winter Get Togethers. The Great Walk Together in July from St Mark’s to Hanley Park involved people in exploring local community organisations and venues, hearing about each other’s experiences of arriving in or growing up in Stoke on Trent. Under One Roof Culture Share events enabled around 80 people to learn about each other’s lives, origins, beliefs, food and creative expression. The Under One Roof project involved local residents in the development of a community garden in St Mark’s Churchyard, in finding out about and sharing the heritage of the building, the area and their own family history, through creative events such as photo walks and learning activities. 1000 Lives community connection events promoting volunteering and tackling loneliness, in Shelton, Middleport, Stoke and online, enabled people to share information and resources, develop relationships, find opportunities to share and develop their skills and experience as volunteers and to gain support for social action. Expert Citizens CIC commissioned us to work with people who experience multiple disadvantage including homelessness, to review and develop training on Community Organising and Community Connection for their Insight Academy. The Methodist Church commissioned us to run ‘Introduction to Community Organising’ to support participants to connect with their local communities across the country. We hold the accounts and oversee the Stoke Sings community arts project to engage people in singing for wellbeing in North Staffordshire through workshops and events. Village Voices Singing for Lung Health, supporting them to gain funding from Breathe Easy for 18 sessions Rhythm of Life project led by Shiya Wright, to develop the skills and confidence of women from Black and minoritised communities.

Consultation with stakeholders

Our stakeholders are residents, community workers and organisations interested in community development, mainly within North Staffordshire. Our Associates and volunteers and Local Organising Group members were involved in development of plans for Community Organising training, social action campaigns and projects, and our organisational review. All of our work involves listening to participants – all of whom are either local residents or community workers (most living locally). Since the pandemic some groups and organisations we worked with have closed, new ones have emerged and we are re-connecting with our communities with a tighter focus, less breadth and more depth. We have developed a very flexible ways of working with people – meeting online, outdoors and indoors in airy spaces, in response to COVID anxieties and our inclusion plan. We moderate the 1000 Lives Facebook group with around 900 members, which helps us track what people’s priorities are for activity to support their volunteering and social action. Through our partnerships, commissions and funded projects we have engaged people who live or work in North Staffordshire, in particular in the Shelton area. The priorities for local action - poverty, community cohesion, loneliness and environmental improvements, underpinned by inclusion – emerged from listening with people. We sought and will continue to seek funding and to support others to do so, to make alliances and take strategic action to address their priorities through Community Organising and in our wider activities as an organisation.
