Found SW CIC has benefited the community through targeted creative and mental health support programs, specifically: Creative Confidence Club Workshop Series: - Delivered three 2-hour workshops for children aged 8-13 and their parents, addressing the critical need for mental health support (with statistics showing five children in every classroom have mental health challenges) - Provided professional art instruction and materials to participants - Organized a community exhibition celebrating participants' achievements - Distributed mental health awareness t-shirts designed by local young artists Created safe, supportive spaces for parent-child bonding through creativity Accessible Support Services: - Provided reduced-cost coaching services for neurodiverse mothers and women - Collaborated with Heart of Torbay CIC to deliver art workshops for trauma survivors - Organized community outreach at Paignton Fair, providing free art and wellness activities for local families - Partnered with Daylight Collective (Exeter) to deliver creative workshops for mothers - Hosted an inclusive Christmas workshop at Torbay Lounge, making creative activities accessible to all abilities and ages Community Impact: - Supported mental health development in young people through creative expression - Enhanced parent-child relationships through collaborative activities - Created opportunities for community connection and peer support - Provided accessible creative services to underserved groups - Built partnerships with local organizations to extend community reach
Our stakeholders include neurodiverse individuals (particularly women and children), their families, and community organizations in the South West. The directors, including Amy Chadney who is herself neurodiverse and an experienced art teacher and coach, developed our programs based on direct community engagement and personal experience with neurodiversity. Our consultation process has been integrated into all aspects of our service delivery. For the Creative Confidence Club, participants and parents completed feedback forms after each session, with follow-up surveys tracking longer-term impact on confidence and wellbeing. We maintained ongoing dialogue with participants through informal discussions and a suggestions box for program improvements. Community partner engagement has been crucial to our development. Regular meetings with Heart of Torbay helped us understand and address the specific needs of trauma survivors, while collaboration with Daylight Collective provided insights into mothers' support requirements. Our partnership with Torbay Lounge enhanced our understanding of community accessibility needs. Through comprehensive service user research, we identified approximately 20 neurodiverse mothers requiring subsidized coaching support. We carefully monitored participation patterns at community events to optimize future programming and gathered detailed feedback about art materials and teaching methods from both children and parents. This consultation process revealed several key insights: the benefit of combined parent-child sessions rather than separate workshops, the importance of smaller group sizes in neurodiverse-friendly environments, the value of take-home materials for continued practice, and the need for more accessible pricing options. In response to this feedback, we implemented several changes to our service delivery. We introduced sliding scale fees for coaching, developed our parent-child workshop model, created take-home art supply kits, and established quieter, more structured workshop environments. These adaptations have directly improved our ability to serve our community's needs effectively.
