Company activities and impact

In our third year of operations, Explore Partnership CIC has continued to strengthen its commitment to supporting children, young people, and families across Knowsley. Building on the momentum of previous years, we have delivered a range of impactful programmes and laid important foundations for new initiatives designed to further our social mission. The following provides an overview of our key activities and their positive community impact: 1. Kidz Zone Programme: Our Kidz Zone sessions continued to thrive in Halewood and Huyton, offering creative, physical, and wellbeing-based activities for children. Delivered weekly and during school holidays, the programme supports positive development and healthier habits among local children, helping to reduce inequalities and promote inclusion. 2. Planning for Youth Zone: Recognising the need for targeted provision for older children, this year we developed the concept and delivery plan for a new Youth Zone programme. Set to launch in the following year, Youth Zone will focus on supporting young people aged 11+ through themed sessions around being active, healthy, and happy. 3. Sharing Santa Campaign: Our Knowsley Sharing Santa campaign returned for another successful year, redistributing pre-loved and new toys, books, and treats to over 300 children. As well as bringing joy during the festive season, the project encourages environmental awareness through a circular economy approach. 4. Holiday Activities and Food (HAF) Delivery: We delivered HAF programmes at Easter, Summer, and Christmas, ensuring that eligible children had access to free food, enrichment activities, and safe, supervised spaces during school holidays. 5. Planning for Community Hub (Camberley Drive): This year we laid the groundwork for transforming a vacant unit on Camberley Drive into a new community Hub. Initial planning, stakeholder engagement, and early renovation work took place during this period, in preparation for a full launch the following year. 6. Winter Warmer Support: Through our Winter Warmer initiative, we distributed seasonal packs including blankets, warm clothing, and household essentials to families and older people at risk of fuel poverty and cold-related health issues. 7. Community Engagement: We maintained a strong focus on listening to local people and embedding lived experience in our approach. Community feedback has shaped service design and ensured our delivery remains grounded in local need. Impact on the Community: Our activity during this year resulted in: Direct support to over 2,500 people through events, programmes, and seasonal outreach. Reduction in holiday hunger and isolation through targeted initiatives. proved wellbeing for children and families through regular engagement in structured, inclusive activities. Progress toward expanded services for young people and the development of a new community hub. Future Commitments: Looking ahead, we are committed to launching our Youth Zone programme and opening The Hub as a welcoming space for local connection, support, and opportunity. We remain focused on tackling local inequalities and empowering communities through early support, partnership working, and positive, place-based change.

Consultation with stakeholders

Explore Partnership CIC recognises the importance of meaningful engagement with its stakeholders to ensure our work remains relevant, responsive, and rooted in the needs of the communities we serve. Our Stakeholders Include: Local residents and families Children and young people Schools and educational settings Primary Care Networks (PCNs) and health partners Local businesses and voluntary organisations Faith and community groups Local authority teams and councillors Consultation Approaches: We actively seek input and feedback from stakeholders through a range of channels, including: Informal and formal conversations at our activities and events Surveys and evaluation forms completed by parents, carers, and young people Planning and reflection sessions with delivery partners and funders Community engagement workshops Targeted discussions with schools, PCNs, and local partners Actions Taken in Response to Feedback: 1 Programme Design: We adapted our Kidz Zone activities to include more wellbeing and emotional resilience content following feedback from schools and parents. 2 Timings & Accessibility: Session times were extended or shifted in some areas to better suit the needs of working families. 3 New Developments: Planning for our Youth Zone offer and Community Hub was directly shaped by insights gathered from young people, residents, and partners about local gaps and aspirations. 4 Sustainability Focus: In response to rising interest in environmental issues, our Sharing Santa campaign increased its focus on re-use and recycling, with improved messaging and donation sorting. Future Commitments: Introduce regular ‘community voice’ focus groups to shape programme design. Improve access to feedback opportunities, particularly for young people and underrepresented voices. Strengthen transparency by publishing outcomes and actions from consultations. Continue embedding lived experience into project planning and delivery.
