During this financial year, our Community Interest Company has continued to provide accessible, low-cost entertainment and community space through our mini golf course, escape rooms, and rentable community area. Our focus has been on ensuring that families, young people, and individuals on low incomes have access to fun, safe, and affordable activities. We have placed a strong emphasis on supporting young adults and people with Special Educational Needs (SEN) by offering work-placement opportunities within the business. These placements have helped participants develop confidence, communication skills, teamwork and real workplace experience they would not normally be offered. This has had a positive social impact by improving employability and inclusion for those who often face barriers. Our CIC also delivered budget-friendly family entertainment, ensuring that cost was not a barrier for local residents. By keeping prices low and creating an environment that is welcoming and inclusive, we have helped families enjoy quality time together and strengthened community wellbeing. We have also provided our community space for local groups, supporting social connection, community-led events, and activities that bring people together. Overall, our operations this year have contributed to reducing social isolation, supporting young people with additional needs, and making entertainment accessible for everyone regardless of income.

Throughout the financial year, we have maintained ongoing communication with our key stakeholders, including customers, parents/carers of young people with SEN, local organisations, community groups, and staff members. We regularly gather feedback through in-person conversations, online reviews, social media messages, and informal discussions during activities and events. This has helped us understand community needs, identify areas for improvement, and shape new offerings. We also consult with local schools and partner organisations, particularly those supporting individuals with Special Educational Needs, to ensure our work placements and activities remain appropriate, accessible, and beneficial. Their input has guided the structure of our placements, safeguarding considerations, and the type of support provided. Internal stakeholders, including our Games Masters and volunteers, are also routinely consulted. Their insights help us improve daily operations, accessibility, and the overall customer experience. This ongoing consultation process ensures that our CIC continues to operate in line with community needs, remains inclusive, and delivers meaningful social value.
