Company activities and impact

The company runs The Grove Stroud CIC, a Waldorf inspired regenerative education project for home educating children and young people age 6 to 18. During the financial year 2024-2025, our activities benefited the community in the following ways: - we offered a part-time education programme to 57 children and young people - the education took place across three venues in Stroud incorporating indoor learning and outdoor place-based learning; our programme included theme-based experiential learning, land-based learning, games and movement, music and drama, handwork and other crafts, and art - some of our teenagers were supported to cook a community meal every month for the whole of the Grove Stroud CIC community - all in the Grove Stroud CIC community participated in a seasonal calendar of festivals, marking the turning year. We also hosted festivals for the wider community, including: an Advent Fair in November, attended by 150+ local people; Carol singing in December; in June we hosted a midsummer ceilidh attended by 50 local people - we took five groups of young people away on residential trips to: Dursley craft camp (11/12 year olds), Camas on the Isle of Mull (13/14 year olds), cultural trip to Edinburgh and community work at Esk Valley Camphill (15-17 year olds) an overnight ecology trip to Wakelyns Agroforestry Farm, Suffolk (17-18 year olds) and a cultural trip to Italy (18 year olds).

Consultation with stakeholders

Our stakeholders are the parents of the children and young people who attend The Grove Stroud CIC, as well as the students themselves. Also the wider community whom are affected by our work - local residents, and those who attend our festivals and events. We consulted parents during this time by holding two community meetings, during which we sought feedback and ideas on a few areas which was then fed back to the community with invitations to step into positions of activity and leadership to ensure the community was deepening and growing in the ways identified. We also regularly sent communications out electronically, and feedback was received electronically to the team, to which we responded. We regularly met and had communications with the church leadership team to inform us of any local resident concerns or questions, and the local residents also contacted us directly and we were able to respond appropriately. Our practice with the children and young people involves regular consultation and sharing, and in addition a student council was set up in September 2024 so anything extra for the team to be aware of could be shared.
