PASSION WORKS C.I.C.

Directors' report period ended 30 April 2025

The directors present their report with the financial statements of the company for the period ended 30 April 2025

Principal activities of the company

Passion Works CIC has gone through several major challenges and changes over the years and perhaps the most significant of those have occurred in this year just ending. We continue to recognise the strength that lies within small and highly excluded and marginalised communities and the passionate people who create change. Our mission is to work alongside them achieve aspirations, grow resilience, and build collaboration. We also challenge the mainstream third sector to recognise its power and privilege and do the work of allyship. PRINCIPAL ACTIVITY We continuing to develop our trauma-informed, embodied, relational approach to challenging power and privilege. Drawing upon the work of Bessel van der Kolk and Gabor Mate; adopting approaches pioneered by Resmaa Menakem and Rae Johnson and Staci Haines. Bodywork and embodied practices have become an essential part of our practice, along with polyvagal theory grounding exercises. Increasingly, our work has taken us towards exploring the somatic or embodied aspects of race trauma, oppression and privilege. How they internalise systems of inequality; intimately entwine with our sense of identity and belonging often causing the common fragility responses when people in privilege are challenged. We have been developing powerful practices to compassionately bring to light embodied privilege using trauma informed somatic approaches While we continue to work alongside marginalised communities and support compassion circle-based spaces we have had reduced capacity for this work. We are keen to explore creating affinity spaces for Black and brown communities as well as affinity spaces for communities of privilege. Again, capacity is the challenge. With this in mind, trustees have taken the difficult decision to explore closing down the CIC.

Company activities and impact

We have continued to develop embodied training resources based on the Somatic Inclusion and Belonging project. It applied trauma-informed, embodied approaches to Inclusion and Belonging, and Equity, Diversity and Inclusion (EDI) with a focus on Race and Gender, It explored several key questions: Does the cultural process of maintaining oppression such as racism, impact on the oppressor and their nervous systems and if so, how should that impact our Inclusion and Belonging practice? What is the Somatic experience of privilege We resolved to use the last of the project funding to test and diseminate our findings resulting in a highly sucessful in-person workshop and zoom session repeated to explore the theory behind the work, and was repeated twice to ensure everyone could attend. we had 14 people attending the zoom sessions and 12 attending the in-person day workshop. Trustees agreed that due to capacity issues it was time to close down the CIC once the dissemnination was complete.

Consultation with stakeholders

Community engagement and consultation this year occurred mostly through the Somatic Inclusion and Belonging Project dissemination and the individuals and communities it brought us into connection with. We have maintained our zoom and in-person meetings with formal and informal, networks and support. We are aware that Black and Brown communities would benefit from affinity spaces to safely explore embodied marginalisation and intersectional priviilege but due to capacity issues we were not able to pursue those.
