Company activities and impact

During its first year, Yellow Rock Sanctuary CIC has prioritised community engagement and awareness by holding introductory meetings and networking sessions with local organisations and potential stakeholders to raise awareness of its mission. The organisation has actively engaged with wellness practitioners, environmental groups, and local councils to explore partnerships and collaborative opportunities that align with its goals. Strategic planning and site development have been key areas of focus. Feasibility studies and Site visits have been conducted to assess suitable locations for wellness retreats and sustainable infrastructure. Additionally, a strategic five-year growth plan has been developed to ensure lhat the sanctuary's future services remain inclusive, accessible, and environmentally sustainable. Efforts have also been made in fundraising and financial planning. Applications for grants and funding have been submitted to support the initial setup of the organisation, and donations from private supporters have been secured. These contributions have allowed the organisation to begin planning its first community-focused activities. Governance and compliance have been a fundamental part of this foundational phase. A board of directors and an advisory panel have been established to ensure the organisation is structured for long-term sustainability. All necessary CIC compliance and reporting requirements have been completed in accordance with Companies House regulations, post positioning Yellow Rock Sanctuary CIC for sustainable growth in the years ahead.

Consultation with stakeholders

The company's key stakeholders include local communities in Northern Ireland and beyond who may benefit from mental health support, well-being retreats, and nature-based therapies. Wellness practitioners, environmental groups, and charities with an interest in collaboration are also important stakeholders, alongside funders and donors such as grant providers, charitable foundations, and individual supporters. Local authorities and community organisations play a vital role in helping to deliver social impact initiatives. Since launching, we have engaged with stakeholders through networking events and meetings with wellness experts, local councils, and charities to explore collaborative opportunities. Direct discussions with individuals have provided valuable insights into the demand for mental health retreats, environmental education, and holistic therapies. Conversations with funders have helped us to better understand potential sources of financial support and the requirements for securing grants. The feedback received so far has reinforced the need for accessible well-being services, particularly for individuals who may not engage with traditional mental health support. There is clear enthusiasm from professionals in the wellness and environmental sectors, but structured frameworks are necessary to establish effective partnerships. Additionally, funders have highlighted the importance of demonstrating impact to attract long-term financial backing. In response, Yellow Rock Sanctuary CIC has adopted a donation-based model to ensure services remain accessible to those who need them most. Efforts have been prioritised on securing funding through grants and partnerships to create a sustainable financial model. A strategic plan has been developed to align our programmes with both community needs and funding priorities. As the organisation grows, more formal consultation methods will be introduced, including surveys and structured feedback sessions. This will ensure that Yellow Rock Sanctuary CIC continues to evolve in response to community needs while strengthening its social impact.
