Company activities and impact

A brief description of the organisation Your Own Place CIC is an innovative and award-winning social enterprise. Our Mission is to prevent homelessness and our Vision is that everyone has a safe and secure home. The work it does We achieve our mission through the delivery of intensive group tenancy sustainment, housing options and cost of living workshops. Beyond mere skills, knowledge and confidence, the workshops are designed and delivered with empowerment and skills for life in mind. These are highly innovative, engaging, fun and uniquely small-group face-to-face workshops and 1-2-1s. We utilise a facilitation technique known as Pinpoint to create a collaborative, equal, democratic, fun, experiential and effective learning environment in which relationships are built, people put at ease and are receptive to the offer. Why the work is so important? A house and a home is transformative to all aspects of our lives and wellbeing. Our customers invest in the difference we make in supporting people into successful housing transitions and ultimately to keeping and thriving in their homes and communities. We maximise our impact by working with people facing the biggest barriers to accessing housing and those at the greatest risk of homelessness. Our customers include but are not exclusive to local authorities, housing associations and housing providers, schools, colleges and education providers, the Ministry of Justice, the Probation Service, private businesses and various charity and voluntary sector organisations, based locally and nationally. How is it having an impact? Our workshops not only develop measurable improvements in the knowledge, skills, confidence and resilience of trainees around money skills, their housing options as well as rights and responsibilities - but in their greater agency in their own decisions. More than this, trainees share their lived experience and reduce their sense of isolation and shame. In a safe and non-judgemental space trainees are encouraged to reflect on their lived experience, name the skills they have and recognise the strength of those skills for developing their resilience. All of this results in at least 90% of participants in our flagship tenancy and independent living skills workshops reporting increased knowledge in managing their bills and 84% in managing their money and confidence in finding solutions to their problems. The long-term impact is best summarised by one of our trainees - it won't just help me in my current tenancy but every other tenancy in the future. We are proud that our traded income has continued to rise since the end of Covid-19 and that 77% of our partners are returning customers.

Consultation with stakeholders

PART 2 – CONSULTATION WITH STAKEHOLDERS – Please indicate who the company’s stakeholders are; how the stakeholders have been consulted and what action, if any, has the company taken in response to feedback from its consultations? If there has been no consultation, this should be made clear. Your Own Place has a range of stakeholders, who through a variety of audience-appropriate mechanisms are regularly consulted and involved. Our trainees/participants - as the most important members of our community. Our role is to build trust, it’s people who through no fault of their own find themselves at risk of homelessness. Trainees/participants are invited to provide feedback on their experience with Your Own Place. We listen to their voice and value their opinion, which is then used in a meaningful way to improve and shape our delivery. The Your Own Place Network - Up until the end of 2023, the Your Own Place Advisory Board (YOPAB) shaped and influenced our work, being the voice of lived experience. Due to a lack of funding, we made the difficult decision to close the YOPAB. Since then we have continued to share YOP based on the continued feedback from the community and people that YOP works with. This has evolved into the Your Own Place Network (YOPN). We will continue to actively search and secure further funding to elevate the voice of YOPN, to build on the success of YOPAB’s legacy and embed lived experience into our work. Until then, we will always consider the perspective of YOPN when making decisions. Our staff team - our staff team increased in 2024 to nine. Our inclusive and equitable approach involves regular dedicated time and space to collaborate and review the direction of Your Own Place. We do this with regular team reflection spaces, workshops, sharing impact and community insights obtained through project delivery. Our customers - as part of our project reviews and impact reporting, customers are always involved in shaping what we do. In the current cost of living crisis, thanks to these relationships we are reviewing our offer to respond better to the current need. This has taken us further into criminal justice work as well as pre-tenancy work. We have also developed Tenant Engagement workshops and a Practitioner Training package. The Board of Non-Executive Directors - in 2024- 25, YOP increased its board to five members. Through quarterly Board meetings, board reports, risk registers and more, the YOP Board have final say and oversight in the governance, direction and growth of Your Own Place. In 2022/23 Your Own Place completed a strategic review involving a listening exercise across key stakeholders to gather performance feedback and explore potential future opportunities. The insight received from the strategic review has informed and shaped the Your Own Place Strategy for 2023 onwards. The strategy will be reviewed in 2025.
