### SHEFFIELD YOUNG EXPLORERS CIC

### Company Number: 15370392 (England and Wales)

### Year Ending: 31 December 2024

Company activities and impact

During the year, Sheffield Young Explorers delivered a programme of inclusive, community-led activities that created 194 free activity places over 11 days of summer provision, alongside 10 fully funded places, supporting children and families from low-income and marginalised backgrounds. The programme included 7 themed summer camps and 8 trips and experiences, including Celebrate Summer Camp (32 places), Art in Motion Camp (24), City Builders Camp (23), Celebrate Diversity Camp (27), and family trips to Gulliver’s Valley (50 places), AirHaus (20), Ninja Warriors (20), and a Cinema trip with a meal (30). These activities provided structured, safe opportunities for children to take part in creative arts, STEM learning, sports, outdoor play, and cultural activities in accessible local venues. Across the programme, 194 children received daily nutritious lunches and snacks, supporting food security and reducing financial pressure on families during the cost-of-living crisis. Parents reported that this provision reduced stress at home, improved children’s mental and physical well-being, and enabled participation in activities that would have been unaffordable otherwise. These activities helped children build confidence, make new friendships, stay physically active, and reduce social isolation, while strengthening community connections between families. Demand for places exceeded supply, demonstrating both the level of need locally and the trust families place in the organisation. Alongside this, we hold a weekly coffee morning providing around 30 women with a warm, healthy breakfast every Thursday morning, offering both nutritional support and a welcoming space for social connection. We have also created a safe space for women in the community to express their concerns. In addition, the company engaged local young people as volunteers and young leaders, providing leadership, mentoring, and role-modelling opportunities. Continuous consultation, including parent feedback sessions and post-programme surveys, informed real-time improvements and ensured services were tailored to meet the needs of the community.

Consultation with stakeholders

Yes, the company has consulted with its stakeholders primarily within the community of Darnall, East of Sheffield, where we do most of our work. Our stakeholders include local families, young leaders, volunteers, community members, and partner organisations. Consultation has taken place through ongoing informal discussions, feedback gathered during activities and sessions, and regular feedback sessions with parents. After each session, we send out a feedback survey to participants to gather their thoughts, and we also provide opportunities for immediate feedback at the end of sessions for those who are happy to complete it. We maintain ongoing conversations with families, young leaders, and community members. Through this feedback, we identified a lack of opportunities and a high demand for activities specifically for teenage girls from the BAME community. In response, we introduced a monthly Sip & Paint session for teenage girls and recently established a Young Leaders Programme for teenage girls. We actively tailor our services based on feedback and make changes to better meet the needs of our community. Feedback has directly informed the planning and delivery of our activities, including shaping the timing and focus of sessions to ensure they are accessible, relevant, and responsive to local needs.
