Southern Arc Foundation CIC exists to unlock the potential of young people living in Cardiff’s “Southern Arc”, an area experiencing entrenched socioeconomic disadvantage, lower educational attainment, and limited access to employment and progression opportunities. During the financial year, the company delivered targeted youth capability and employability activity focused on leadership, career readiness, and practical skills development. A central element of this work was the ELM Fellowship, a structured programme supporting young people through mentored projects and applied learning designed to translate academic knowledge and lived experience into real-world impact. In addition, the company delivered a series of workshops on career development and consulting skills, supporting participants to build confidence, professional discipline, and an understanding of workplace expectations. These sessions focused on preparing young people to be employer-ready, including communication skills, problem-solving, project delivery, and professional conduct. The company also supported entrepreneurial readiness, helping participants explore self-employment and enterprise pathways by developing core skills such as idea development, planning, pitching, and personal organisation. This approach enabled young people to better understand both employment and entrepreneurial routes, increasing their agency and long-term prospects. The company’s work benefited the community by improving young people’s employability, confidence, and leadership capacity, while strengthening pathways into education, work, and enterprise.
The company’s stakeholders include young people participating in programmes, local employers and freelancers, community partners, and other third-sector organisations operating in the local area. Southern Arc Foundation maintained regular communication with CICs and other third-sector organisations within the local community. This engagement focused on sharing learning, identifying gaps in provision, and exploring ways to collectively boost impact across the area. Consultation activity included: a. Ongoing informal dialogue with local CICs and charities. b. Collaborative discussions around programme design, referrals, and community needs. c. Consultation-style conversations to inform delivery approaches and ensure activities complemented existing local services rather than duplicating them. Feedback from these engagements informed programme focus, partnership working, and delivery methods, helping the company align its activities with wider community priorities and strengthen the overall effectiveness of the local third-sector ecosystem.
The total amount paid or receivable by directors in respect of qualifying services was £1,200. There were no other transactions or arrangements in connection with the remuneration of directors, nor any compensation for directors’ loss of office, which require to be disclosed.
No transfer of assets other than for full consideration
