Company activities and impact

UK Unplugged supports families to unplug from screens, connect with each other and explore cultures, STEM, imagination and the environment through take home materials, events and competitions. Our mission is to empower families to innovate, collaborate and unplug and help volunteers gain valuable experience that will help them in their chosen career. + We collaborated with the NHS Care Navigators to support young people on the CAMHS waiting list with activity/ fun learning boxes to do at home, giving them positive, creative outlets while they wait up to 40 weeks for treatment. + We created original boxes and events on themes like Avionics (with pilots and electrical engineers), Earth-friendly Architecture (with 3 architects) and Japan (with the Japan North West Society), engaging young people on topics of their interest and raising aspirations in the community by bringing in experts from the local universities. + We created a course for the University of Liverpool Students called ‘Change Makers’ where they gained experience fundraising, learned about the third sector and the NHS relationship and how they could make change in their communities. + We ran student internships with the University of Liverpool, allowing university students to gain skills and experience necessary to set themselves apart at interview, and helping them to be part of our community + We provided a sensory room and SENDCO at all of our events to support SEND families and ensure access. + We supported SEND and low-income families with free boxes and events

Consultation with stakeholders

Our families and volunteers are our main stakeholders. We consulted families through email, surveys, monthly face-to-face events and social media. Volunteers give and receive feedback throughout their time with us and offer their suggestions on boxes, activities, meeting places etc. Directors’ meetings occurred quarterly, and meetings between directors 1:1 more regularly for those working on specific projects. Alongside our members, directors, volunteers, the wider public is also a valuable, important stakeholders who contribute feedback and shape delivery. We have begun to supply boxes and work with external organisations to deliver events. Their feedback and their members' feedback are taken with each interaction.
