Femina Polskie Centrum CIC is a Community Interest Company dedicated to providing support and services that benefit Polish women and the wider community in Leicester. Our activities during the accounting period from 29 August 2023 to 31 August 2024 have focused on: * Promoting Health and Well-being: We organized and facilitated various fitness classes, exercise groups, and health-related workshops. These activities aim to improve the physical and mental well-being of participants, addressing the needs of women, including new mothers and seniors. * Creating Community and Social Inclusion: A key objective is to reduce social isolation and foster a sense of community. We provide spaces and opportunities for women to connect, share experiences, and build support networks. This includes "Meet and Chat" groups and events that bring people together. * Providing Support Services: Femina Polskie Centrum CIC delivers services that support women's needs, such as mother and toddler groups and activities. * Organizing Community Events: We organize events such as St. Nicholas Day celebrations and sports days, which contribute to community engagement and cultural exchange. These activities provide a clear community benefit by: * Improving the quality of life for local women through health and well-being initiatives. * Strengthening community cohesion by creating opportunities for social interaction and support. * Addressing specific needs within the community, such as support for new mothers. Femina Polskie Centrum CIC is committed to continuing and expanding its activities to further enhance the well-being of the community it serves.
Femina Polskie Centrum CIC is committed to actively seeking and responding to the views of its stakeholders to ensure that our services effectively meet community needs. During the accounting period, stakeholder consultation was conducted through the following methods: * Ongoing informal feedback: Regular interaction with service users during workshops, classes, groups, and events provided continuous feedback on the relevance and quality of our activities. This direct engagement allowed us to adapt our services to the evolving needs of the community in real-time. * Social media engagement: Comments and feedback received on the Femina Polskie Centrum CIC Facebook page were monitored and considered. This platform provides an important channel for community members to express their views, share their experiences, and suggest improvements. * Feedback forms: We also gathered feedback through formal feedback forms, which allowed women to provide detailed comments on what Femina Polskie Centrum CIC means to them. The responses from these forms highlighted the significant positive impact of our services on women's well-being, sense of belonging, and empowerment. The feedback received through these various channels has been invaluable. The overwhelmingly positive responses confirm the importance of our work in the community. We have also used the feedback to make adjustments to our programs and schedules to better accommodate community preferences and address identified needs. Femina Polskie Centrum CIC is committed to continuing to engage with its stakeholders through diverse methods and ensuring that community voices shape the development and delivery of our services.
