Wintergreen UK CIC has had a highly productive year, expanding its reach and impact across North Wales, particularly in supporting veterans and those living with chronic illness or isolation through arts-based wellbeing programs. Our freelance arts practitioner has successfully delivered 50 creative wellbeing sessions that have significantly contributed to improved mental health, reduced loneliness, and increased community engagement. In response to a growing gap in veteran support services following the closure of Blind Veterans UK (Llandudno) and the cessation of Help for Heroes arts programs, we have stepped in to ensure continuity of creative therapeutic support in the region. Our work now fills a crucial void in artistic and emotional wellbeing provision for this group. We currently operate sessions in Wrexham, Colwyn Bay, Conwy and Llandudno. During the year, we have also opened our first retail social enterprise, Stash Busters, an arts and crafts donation and recycling shop located in the Ty Pawb market hub in Wrexham. The shop has quickly gained popularity and provides both a sustainable income stream for our core costs and a physical presence in the community. It has also contributed to reducing waste by diverting donated materials from landfill and supported environmentally-conscious crafting. We have delivered regular projects in collaboration with local and regional partners, including Woody’s Lodge, Alabare Veterans’ Hostels, The Salvation Army, and Ty Pawb’s community arts programs. These collaborations have amplified our reach and enabled joint initiatives that have directly benefited service users. Over 75 veterans and community members took part in our workshops, exhibitions, and drop-in sessions throughout the year. We have supported 10 volunteering posts. We continue to operate with low overheads, and the CEO currently works on an expenses-only basis, supporting the growth of the organisation, while all frontline services are delivered by experienced freelance specialists. This model allows us to remain agile and responsive while maintaining high-quality service provision.
Wintergreen UK CIC’s stakeholders include: - Veterans and their families - People living with chronic illness and fatigue (e.g., ME/CFS, fibromyalgia) - Freelance practitioners and volunteers - Local partner organisations (e.g., RAF Valley, Woody’s Lodge, Ty Pawb, Alabare, CVSC, DVSC, AVOW) - Grant funders and donors - The wider Wrexham and North Wales community We consult our stakeholders informally and formally through regular feedback sessions, one-to-one conversations, feedback forms at workshops, and reflective practice with partners and freelancers. Our shop visitors and volunteers also provide ongoing input on how we can improve accessibility and expand services. As a result of this feedback: - We expanded Stash Busters into a larger unit to better serve growing demand and increase our range of accessible materials. - We are exploring additional workshop programming based on requests from community members who wish to see more inclusive and family-friendly sessions. - We are actively developing volunteer pathways and laying the groundwork for achieving the Investors in Volunteers accreditation, in direct response to the expressed desire from volunteers to feel more recognised and supported. - We have focused grant applications on projects that stakeholders value most, such as intergenerational arts, trauma-informed practice, and accessible creative spaces. - Local up and coming artists in North Wales who wish to display their artwork at an affordable cost. Stakeholder input has been, and continues to be, central to our development and decision-making process, ensuring our work remains relevant, person-centred, and impactful.
