Company activities and impact

The CIC organised and ran our 5th festival at Bridwell Park in Devon, plus held monthly meets in London and developed plans to hold small retreats which are now underway. The festival had its largest attendance yet (750 people), with many new people getting involved and high praise coming through feedback for the positive, healing and community building experience.

Consultation with stakeholders

Many of our festival attendees completed detailed feedback forms about the event and are invited to collaborate in discussing the shape of future festivals via a community camp in August 2025 and via the social section of the festival website. Team leaders and crew met for monthly online meetings plus kept in touch via email to make collective decisions, with the various production areas of the festival each autonomously making decisions as needed.

Directors' remuneration

No remuneration was received
