Our Community Interest Company organises events, activities and projects to promote a healthier, more sustainable Southampton. During the financial year 2024, we benefited the community in the following ways: -We were involved in the delivery of the Southampton Coproduction Corner project in conjunction with Southampton Voluntary Services. This promotes good practice and mutual support around people’s voice when it comes to designing and delivering services. In particular, this has helped public services (local authority services and NHS) and charitable work in Southampton to be focused on local people’s needs and wishes; - We continued with our work with Dead Good Days, which gets people to think, talk and be proactive about death and dying. Several events were held about this topic linked to Dying Matters Awareness Week, some small and intimate, and some larger such as the Dead Good Day Out in May 2024. - We consolidated the establishment the new Southampton Climate Action Network (SoCAN) and we were grateful for a philanthropic donation which supported this work. SoCAN has been helping local people and community organisations to work together and be more cohesive around issues to do with the climate emergency. - In connection with our Southampton Climate Action Network work, we progressed a Participatory Research project in conjunction with University of Southampton about Doughnut Economics. We also received separate funding to organise a workshop about Doughnut Economics and Community Wealth Building in Southampton. This is all about working towards a local economy which helps meet human needs, whilst living within planetary boundaries. There is considerable enthusiasm within Southampton’s communities to make sure that the economy helps local people and natural systems to flourish, rather than be extractive. In terms of outputs, we commissioned a film, which we use to generate more conversation and action on the topics into the future. This work is also informing future actions of Southampton Climate Action Network. -We progressed our project Take Me to the Sea. We ran some workshops in a Southampton care home, to help residents share their memories of the seaside, create artwork and have fun in the process. - We supported the delivery of a series of workshops for Public Art in Riverside Park’s Drawing on the Outside project. - We have provided freelance working opportunities to a number of people, which has helped community-minded residents receive payment for their work. We have also worked with people to build their skills and potential for increased community work in the future.
As a community development organisation, we involve local people in all our work, both at design and delivery stage. Our work is participatory, so for example, through Take Me to the Sea and Dead Good Days, people could contribute publicly to creative activities, and in doing so demonstrate what matters to them. Southampton Coproduction Corner was run with continuous dialogue with people about how they would like it to involve, through workshops, surveys and using democratic means such as voting to decide on priorities. Southampton Climate Action Network has run a series of workshops to agree its structure and priorities, and a session on Doughnut Economics, has helped it identify priorities for the future. The workshops delivered through Public Art in Riverside Park (Drawing on the Outside) were a direct response to the wishes of the participants.
Our Directors have been renumerated as consultants to our various projects as follows: Rebecca Kinge for Southampton Climate Action Network (£500.00), Southampton Coproduction Corner (£5,950), Take Me to the Sea (£175.00) and AI workshop (£52.50) totalling £6,677.50 Clare Diaper for Southampton Climate Action Network £1337.50 Mandi Dyke for Southampton Climate Action Network £1,450 Katie Daley-Yates for Drawing on the Outside 850.00 Our Directors undertook tasks associated with running the company on a voluntary basis.
