Soul Purpose 360 CIC has consulted with a range of stakeholders throughout the reporting period, including beneficiaries, member organisations, delivery partners, funders, and statutory and voluntary sector bodies. Consultation has been embedded through collaborative working, joint delivery, participation in networks, and shared learning activities. The organisation established and maintained strategic alliances with external organisations, individuals, and groups to enhance the support available to beneficiaries whose needs extend beyond the organisation’s direct capacity. This included consultation and partnership working with members of the national Black Women’s Networking and Empowerment Circle, enabling referrals to specialist providers and ensuring beneficiaries could access appropriate and culturally informed support. Soul Purpose 360 CIC collaborated with the Croydon based organisation Up Front Conversation, securing funding from Kingston Race Equality Council to deliver social research that contributed to the Developing an Anti Racist Health and Care System Community Insight from South West London. Consultation also took place through the joint delivery of an event on Black Women’s Womb Health in February 2025, informed by the lived experiences of Black women and community stakeholders.

Soul Purpose 360 CIC also participated in Croydon Creative Health Network consultations and working groups, contributing insight from beneficiaries and members to shape local creative health priorities.
