Established in April 2023, Imaginarium Creations CIC has been actively working in the communities of Braunstone Town and Oadby, reaching nearly 100 people. Our mission focuses on engaging with children, young people, their families, and members of the public from some of the most deprived areas across the East Midlands. We provide activities in and around libraries and community spaces where positive change is most needed. We have undertaken community outreach projects near libraries and secured funding from Sports England to deliver the Pulse Path project from September 2024 to August 2025. This project is designed to increase physical activity and foster community cohesion by collaborating with local stakeholders. Our goal is to offer accessible, inclusive, and enjoyable physical activities tailored to the needs of underrepresented community members. The initiative aims to close the gap in physical activity provision and address long-standing inequalities in sport and community health. Additionally, we have started engaging with vulnerable community members to provide support in enriching and transforming outdoor spaces. We are also exploring and developing avenues to bring our first book festival to life in 2025, aligning with our mission to promote literacy and a love for reading among children and families. Our Projects. Braunstone Town Library Back-to-School event: An event to encourage children to engage with reading as they return to school. Monthly craft workshops: Hosted at Braunstone Town Library to engage participants in reading through creative activities. Utilising Libraries as warm spaces during cold months. Weekly "Word Warriors" Debating and Book Club: A program for children with low school attendance to foster a love for reading and improve literacy skills. Marketing Support for Community Projects: We have provided marketing services for initiatives such as We Are Here, Art at St. Matthews, Blossom & Buzz, and the Sisterhood and Brotherhood projects for other organisations. This has served as an income generation scheme whilst we are still shaping plans for publishing books and utilising this as a means of generating income. Through these activities, Imaginarium Creations CIC has positively impacted the community by promoting literacy, enhancing physical well-being, and fostering social inclusion. By focusing on underserved areas, we aim to bring about meaningful change and improve the quality of life for community members across the East Midlands.
Imaginarium Creations CIC considers a diverse group of individuals and organisations as its stakeholders, primarily those living and working within the local communities of the Midlands region. Our stakeholders include. Children and families. The primary beneficiaries of our literacy programs and events. Local authors and illustrators. Collaborators who contribute their expertise to our workshops and festivals. Educators and schools. Partners in delivering educational programs and book donation initiatives.

Consultation with stakeholders Prior to applying for funding or launching new projects, we actively consult with our stakeholders to ensure that our initiatives effectively address community needs. This consultation process involves. Community engagement. Holding meetings with community members, parents, and educators to gather input on the types of programs that would most benefit local children and families. Feedback from professionals. Seeking advice and suggestions from local practitioners, tailor our workshops and events. Coordination with local councillors and libraries. Working closely with local government representatives and library staff allows us to align our projects with regional development goals and available resources. Based on the insights and feedback received from our consultations, we have. Customized programs. Developed targeted workshops, reading clubs, and storytelling sessions that cater to the diverse cultural backgrounds and languages within our communities. Expanded volunteer roles. Created new opportunities for community members to engage with our organisation, including roles in workshop and event support, looking after outdoor spaces around libraries. Ongoing social change projects. Planned to continue and expand projects that have been positively received, ensuring they have a lasting impact over the coming years. Volunteer engagement This year, we have collaborated with three dedicated volunteers who have significantly contributed to our mission. Their roles have included. Assisting in the planning and execution of literacy workshops and reading clubs. Helping to promote our events within local communities. Offering insights from a volunteer perspective, which has helped us improve our programs.
