Company activities and impact

The company runs 'Sticky Bits' a community cafe, for the benefit of the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender community. The cafe opened in 2013. During the year the company has: 1. Provided a food and beverage service at am informal venue to encourage social interaction and networking between members of the community, thus helping to strengthen community spirit and awareness. 2. The company has provided training courses in food hygiene and confidence building. These courses will improve skill level and encourage personal development, leading to increased employ-ability. The cafe is a safe space for people identifying as LGBT and is used predominately by this group. We also run smaller groups and workshops specific to age and sexuality.

Consultation with stakeholders

The company's stakeholders are the members and allies of the LGBT community in Carlisle and the surrounding areas. The directors of the company have lived and worked with the community for a number of years and developed the business model based on their experiences talking to members of the community. The cafe was set up after looking at a consultation done by Cumbria council in 2011 and from past health consultations. We ask the current users what they think of the service, and how they feel our offerings could be improved and what other services they feel would benefit the community. We make improvements based on this feedback.
