COMMUNITY INTEREST ANNUAL REPORT

SAFER BY SOUND CIC

Company Number: SC619189 (Scotland)

Year Ending: 31 January 2025

Company activities and impact

At the beginning of the year January to March, Safer by Sound ran The Well Cafe in partnership with Inspiring Leith. The Well is a monthly social gathering with a chance for folk to perform any skill they have acquired during Safer by Sound workshops. From January to March we ran a 6 week programme of workshops called Identity at North Edinburgh Arts. Then we got lockdown in March and all the venues we use have been unavailable since. We have run online drama workshops in partnership with Leith Festival Drama Group and have provided online music tuition to many individuals. Safer by Sound is run for and by people with disabilities, mental health issues, people in recovery from alcohol and substance dependency, homeless folk, asylum applicants and people who live in poverty. We are hoping to restart our "Bricks and Mortar" workshops.

Consultation with stakeholders

Our stakeholders are people with health issues, lifelong disabilities, people in recovery from alcohol and substance dependency and those disenfranchised from society. Safer by Sound is a ground up organisation. Within the remits it is the participants who choose the program they wish to explore, what it should be about etc. Each program is part feedback session by nature. We also have long term participants who come along to workshops time and time again. We encourage our stakeholders to participate in the running of the company and organising of workshops/events, to take responsibility and help run said programmes/events.
