Additional information

Introduction The directors of The Tiny Roar Community Interest Company (CIC) present their report and accounts for the period ending 28 February 2025.Directors Statement Directors Statement As directors we are proud to report on the progress of The Tiny Roar CIC in its first year of operation. We believe passionately in the importance of nature and outdoor spaces as a foundation for personal wellbeing, social connection and community resilience. Our work has focused on building inclusive projects that empower participants, particularly young women and girls, to engage with public spaces in new ways. We are encouraged by the strong response to the Make Space York festival, which delivered over 40 free activities and attracted more than 300 teenage girls. This project has already demonstrated the positive impact our approach can have, providing opportunities for participants to try new experiences, build confidence and make social connections. Alongside this, we have organised nature-based activities for families in Rowntree Park and Homestead Park, and supported community consultations to ensure local green spaces are welcoming and inclusive for all. Through these projects, Tiny Roar CIC is building stronger communities, encouraging greater understanding of the benefits of the outdoors, and creating opportunities for individuals to feel more connected, empowered, and supported. We are committed to reinvesting resources into our community and will continue to seek funding that allows us to provide free and subsidised events, ensuring accessibility for all. Looking ahead, we will build on our partnerships with local organisations, councils and charities to extend the reach and impact of our programmes. Objectives and Activities The Tiny Roar CIC was established to help people of all ages and backgrounds connect with nature and the outdoors, with a particular focus on groups who are less likely to access green spaces, including teenage girls, low-income families, and those experiencing social isolation. Our aim is to improve both physical and mental wellbeing through inclusive, accessible, and engaging projects. Core Objectives - Empowerment: Create public spaces where girls and young women feel confident, included and empowered. - Inclusion and safety: Promote a culture of respect, inclusion and safety in public areas. - Community building: Strengthen social networks through shared experiences and collaborative activities. - Design participation: Involve young people in shaping outdoor spaces to reflect their needs and aspirations. - Awareness and advocacy: Partner with organisations to highlight the importance of inclusive outdoor spaces and promote the prevention of violence against women and girls. Activities Delivered In its first year, Tiny Roar CIC has: - Organised the Make Space York Festival, delivering over 40 free activities for teenage girls, including sports, creative arts, wellbeing workshops, and awareness-raising events, engaging over 300 participants. - Extended festival activities into the summer holidays with support from local ward funding, ensuring teenage girls had access to positive, active opportunities during school breaks. - Delivered nature events for families in Rowntree Park and Homestead Park, encouraging intergenerational participation and improving community access to green spaces. - Supported consultation work for Homestead Park, exploring how to make the park more community-focused and inclusive in its design and facilities. - Built partnerships with local organisations including Friends of Rowntree Park, York St John University’s All About Respect campaign, the Joseph Rowntree Foundation and City of York Council. Community Benefit - Improved physical and mental health and wellbeing for participants. - Expanded opportunities for social connection, especially for those at risk of isolation. - Greater awareness and understanding of the benefits of outdoor spaces. - Empowered individuals and groups to take ownership of change in their local areas. - Promoted equity by providing targeted support and opportunities for groups less likely to engage with outdoor spaces, such as teenage girls. Directors Remuneration The director, Abigail Gaines, received remuneration to recognise their contributions within the company. The total sum paid during the period was £450. Financial Accounts The accounts for the period ending 28 February 2025 have been prepared in accordance with the special provisions relating to small companies within Part 15 of the Companies Act 2006. Statement of trustees’ responsibilities The directors are responsible for preparing the report and accounts in accordance with applicable law and regulations. Company law requires the directors to prepare accounts for each financial year. Under that law, the directors have elected to prepare the accounts in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice (United Kingdom Accounting Standards and applicable law). Under company law the director must not approve the accounts unless they are satisfied that they give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the company and of the profit and loss of the company for that period. In preparing these accounts, the directors are required to: - Select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently - Make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent, and - Prepare the accounts on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in business. The directors are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain the company’s transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the company and enable them to ensure that the accounts comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

Company activities and impact

During its first year in operation, our work has focused on building inclusive projects that empower participants, particularly young women and girls, to engage with public spaces in new ways. We are encouraged by the strong response to the Make Space York festival, which delivered over 40 free activities and attracted more than 300 teenage girls. This project has already demonstrated the positive impact our approach can have, providing opportunities for participants to try new experiences, build confidence and make social connections. Alongside this, we have organised nature-based activities for families in Rowntree Park and Homestead Park, and supported community consultations to ensure local green spaces are welcoming and inclusive for all. Through these projects, Tiny Roar CIC is building stronger communities, encouraging greater understanding of the benefits of the outdoors, and creating opportunities for individuals to feel more connected, empowered, and supported. Activities Delivered In its first year, Tiny Roar CIC has: - Organised the Make Space York Festival, delivering over 40 free activities for teenage girls, including sports, creative arts, wellbeing workshops, and awareness-raising events, engaging over 300 participants. - Extended festival activities into the summer holidays with support from local ward funding, ensuring teenage girls had access to positive, active opportunities during school breaks. - Delivered nature events for families in Rowntree Park and Homestead Park, encouraging intergenerational par-ticipation and improving community access to green spaces. - Supported consultation work for Homestead Park, exploring how to make the park more community-focused and inclusive in its design and facilities. - Built partnerships with local organisations including Friends of Rowntree Park, York St John University’s All About Respect campaign, the Joseph Rowntree Foundation and City of York Council. Community Benefit - Improved physical and mental health and wellbeing for participants. - Expanded opportunities for social connection, especially for those at risk of isolation. - Greater awareness and understanding of the benefits of outdoor spaces. - Empowered individuals and groups to take ownership of change in their local areas. - Promoted equity by providing targeted support and opportunities for groups less likely to engage with outdoor spaces, such as teenage girls.

Consultation with stakeholders

Stakeholders Our stakeholders include children, young people, and families who take part in our projects and events, with a particular focus on teenage girls and those from lower-income or isolated backgrounds. In addition, facilitators who run events in conjunction with us and also volunteers who help. We also work with partner organisations, schools, the City of York Council and community groups. Consultation Ahead of the 2024 Make Space Festival, we consulted over 400 families on our mailing list, with 150 responding to share their priorities and ideas. This feedback directly shaped the programme of activities. Following the festival, participants, parents/carers, facilitators, partner organisations and volunteers were invited to provide feedback via forms, emails, and informal conversations. The council and partner organisations also contributed reflections and encouragement. The wider community is reached and able to share views and ideas through a newsletter, posters in Rowntree Park and social media. Actions taken - The programme was adapted to include more art workshops in response to stakeholder demand. - All festival places were free to ensure access for all, and activities were adapted for children with additional needs (e.g. wheelchair users, speech and learning disabilities). - A second festival was run at Homestead Park to reach the Clifton community, and also a day at Westbank Park in Holgate - addressing barriers of travel and deprivation. - We have used stakeholder feedback to plan future events, ensuring inclusivity and accessibility remain central. Examples of Stakeholder Feedback “My daughter is 12 and she has speech and learning disabilities. This is the second year she was able to take part. As a parent, it's so wonderful to see that everyone is welcome, and she felt at ease. All professionals considered her needs and made her feel very included.” – Parent, 2024 “The project in Rowntree Park means that I will start going to parks to socialise after attending these sessions because I will now know that there is somewhere I can go where I won't feel like I don't belong as so many girls do. Parents and carers consistently highlight improvements in confidence, social skills, independence, and mental and physical wellbeing. Young participants particularly value meeting new friends, building confidence and learning new skills in a welcoming and non-intimidating environment. Volunteers have commented on the training and support given.
