Media Savvy CIC is a multi-award-winning social enterprise established in 2010. The organisation specialises in a “learning by stealth” approach, using digital arts and media, alongside health, nutrition, and wellbeing, to engage individuals who may face barriers to traditional education and employment pathways. We work primarily with underserved communities, creating inclusive, creative opportunities that build confidence, skills, and social connection while improving overall wellbeing. Vision A society where every individual feels valued, has access to suitable education, and the opportunity to realise their full potential. Mission To unite and empower our community through creativity, innovation, and inclusive learning experiences. Values Inclusion and accessibility Creativity as a tool for empowerment Community-led solutions Integrity, transparency, and collaboration Review of Activities and Achievements (2023–2024) In late summer 2022, Media Savvy CIC launched a hospitality venture, Diego’s Joint (DJ), as a trading arm of the organisation. This initiative was designed to generate unrestricted income while providing informal learning and employment opportunities aligned with our social mission. Diego’s Joint operated as part of Media Savvy CIC until December 2023, in line with the original business plan. All ambitions and objectives outlined in the previous year’s report were achieved with the exception of the employability programme, which has taken longer than anticipated to design and secure sustainable funding. Planning for this programme remains ongoing. Key Developments in 2024 The legal separation of Diego’s Joint was completed at the beginning of the year, allowing both organisations to pursue clearer strategic and operational priorities Media Savvy CIC continued its rebuild following a strategic pivot away from formal accredited learning, which presented challenges but enabled a renewed focus on community-led, creative engagement Throughout this period of change, the organisation’s vision, mission, and values have remained strong, consistent, and uncompromised Community Benefit Media Savvy CIC exists to deliver clear and demonstrable community benefit. Our activities are designed to: Engage individuals who are marginalised, isolated, or disengaged from traditional education systems Improve confidence, communication skills, and creative expression through digital media and arts Support mental health, wellbeing, and healthier lifestyle choices through informal learning Reduce social isolation by creating safe, welcoming spaces for collaboration and participation Any surpluses generated by the organisation are reinvested directly into community programmes, enabling us to expand access, develop new initiatives, and maintain affordable or free provision for participants. Stakeholders and Engagement Media Savvy CIC works closely with: Community members and participants Freelance creatives and facilitators Local partners, funders, and commissioners Diego’s Joint as a separate but aligned organisation Stakeholder feedback continues to inform programme design, ensuring our activities remain relevant, inclusive, and responsive to community need. Future Plans and Objectives (2025) In 2025, Media Savvy CIC aims to: Re-establish and strengthen organisational sustainability, ensuring long-term resilience Maintain a clear, positive, and transparent working relationship with Diego’s Joint following legal separation Increase commercial income by at least 20%, supporting the delivery of social impact Progress the development of a sustainable employability programme, subject to funding Continue delivering high-quality, creative, community-focused activities aligned with our mission
