Neighbourworks CIC is a business that supports people to learn new skills, make new friends and contribute to their community through traditional wool crafts. We run three projects; 1. The Knit Stop, 2. The Knit Stop for Kids and 3. Wool on the Exe, our retail community fibre arts space. Our social knitting/crafting sessions offer a time to be creative and connect with others which in turn contributes to an improvement in overall well-being. We also support numerous efforts to raise funds for our local food bank. Through donations of socks and stitch markers, an online auction and a volunteer who helps others with their projects, we raised £3350 in 2024. We also created an opportunity for community members to knit/crochet garments for 70 young people who were leaving the care system to live on their own. We collected 53 hats, 14 shawls, and 12 scarves, 21 pairs of mittens, 3 head bands, 30 pairs of socks and 8 snoods / cowls as gifts. These items were given at a council- run Christmas dinner. In addition to this, our charity basket of donated yarn turned into 463 items of clothing/accessories for local charities St Petrock’s, Knit for Peace, the Baby Hub and Cranbrook Community Hub. We also received 76 handmade blankets for patients on the dementia ward at the Royal Devon and Exeter hospital to help them identify their beds and feel more at home. Our outreach coordinator conducted 5, 8-week Knit Stop groups for a total of 30 adults taking part. End of group surveys overwhelmingly confirm that learning new skills, making new friends and knitting together improves overall well-being. Knit Stop for Kids recorded 94 sessions at 2 local schools with an average of 10-12 students in attendance. Our outreach coordinator also connected with local libraries to offer pom-pom activities for children during the summer school break. 21 children took part. At Wool on the Exe, we host a very popular community drop-in group on that averages 12-15 participants each week. We work hard to provide a safe, welcoming and creative space for the members of our community in St Thomas and wider Exeter.
Our stakeholders are 1. our board of directors, 2. our members, 3. participants in our programmes & groups and our customers. We hold quarterly board of directors’ meetings to ensure strategic and financial stability. We also occasionally survey members to gain informal input. In addition, we are always listening to the participants in our programmes & groups for ideas and opportunities for collaboration. Daily interactions in the shop and on our social media channels ensure that we’re listening to the needs of our community.
