Company activities and impact

The Community of Colours Family Fun Picnic has now been successfully organised twice, bringing together families and individuals from ethnic minority backgrounds for a day of connection, fun, and community engagement. The event continues to foster unity, wellbeing, and inclusion, providing a safe space for families and children to enjoy various activities while also accessing valuable health and wellbeing resources. Aim The aim of the health outreach component was to provide first-response medical coverage and deliver basic health education and screening services to community members. This initiative sought to: Engage and educate participants about key health issues. Empower individuals with knowledge about risk factors and preventive health behaviours. Encourage early detection, lifestyle changes, and timely medical follow-up to prevent long-term health complications. Health Checks Offered During the first event, a range of basic health checks were provided by qualified professionals, including: Blood Pressure (BP) Check – for the prevention and early detection of hypertension. Random Blood Glucose Check – for diabetes screening and early intervention. Lipid Profile (Cholesterol Check) – to support primary prevention of cardiovascular disease (CVD). Outcomes A total of 14 people received health checks, along with individualised medical advice and signposting for further support where necessary. Summary of Findings: 4 individuals presented with elevated blood pressure, indicating an increased risk of hypertension. They were advised on lifestyle modifications and referred to their GP for follow-up. 2 individuals showed abnormal blood glucose levels, consistent with pre-diabetic readings. They were counselled on dietary and lifestyle changes and advised to seek further assessment from their GP. 1 individual had elevated cholesterol levels. They received education on dietary adjustments, including reducing saturated fat intake, checking their QRISK score via their GP, and opting for healthier meal alternatives. A 6-month recheck was recommended. All participants were provided with basic health education materials and encouraged to adopt healthier daily habits. Impact The health outreach was a key highlight of the picnic, creating an accessible and friendly environment for individuals who may otherwise face barriers to healthcare engagement. The initiative: Increased health awareness among participants. Encouraged early detection and prevention of lifestyle-related diseases. Strengthened community trust and participation in health initiatives. Contributed to the overall success and holistic impact of the Community of Colours Family Picnic. The Community of Colours Family Fun Picnic continues to serve as a vital community-building and well-being event. By combining recreation, cultural connection, and health promotion, the initiative has successfully brought families together, empowered individuals with health knowledge, and fostered a spirit of community care and collective wellbeing. Plans are already underway to expand the health outreach component in future editions, reaching more families and enhancing preventive health education across the community.

Consultation with stakeholders

The company’s stakeholders are members of the local community, families who attended the Community of Colours Family Fun Picnic, as well as local businesses and other Community Interest Companies (CICs) that participated in the event. During the planning and delivery of the picnic, the company engaged with various stakeholders to ensure that the event reflected community needs and created opportunities for collaboration and growth. Several local organisations and CICs, including Veranga CIC and Thriving Beyond the Label CIC, took part by showcasing their products, initiatives, and services. This provided a platform for community learning, networking, and visibility for small enterprises. Feedback was gathered through conversations with attendees, exhibitors, and volunteers during the event. Many expressed appreciation for the inclusive atmosphere, the opportunity to connect with others, and the health and well-being focus of the day. In response to this feedback, the company plans to: Continue collaborating with local CICs and businesses to strengthen community partnerships. Include more interactive health and well-being activities in future events. Provide ongoing opportunities for small businesses and social enterprises to promote their work at community gatherings. These consultations have helped shape our approach to community engagement, ensuring that future events continue to meet local needs, foster inclusion, and support shared growth within the community.
