During the financial year, Mama’s Embrace CIC carried out activities in line with its community interest objectives, which focus on supporting maternal wellbeing and reducing social isolation during pregnancy and early parenthood. The company delivered a programme of trauma-informed workshops and community outreach activities in the Peterborough area. These activities were designed to provide emotional support, increase confidence, and improve access to information and peer connection for mothers and birthing parents. Mama’s Embrace CIC worked in partnership with established community organisations to deliver its activities. This included collaboration with Barnardo’s to deliver workshops, as well as working with a local church and other community agencies to support outreach and engagement. These partnerships helped ensure that activities were accessible, trusted, and responsive to local needs, particularly for women who may face barriers to accessing mainstream services. During the year, the company’s workshops and outreach activities reached 93 women in total. Participants benefited from opportunities for shared learning, emotional support, and connection with others, helping to reduce isolation and support wellbeing during pregnancy and early parenthood. Mama’s Embrace CIC operated on a not-for-profit basis throughout the year. Any surplus generated was reinvested in the company to support the continuation and development of activities in line with its community-interest objectives.
The stakeholders of Mama’s Embrace CIC include mothers and birthing parents who participate in the company’s activities, partner organisations involved in delivery and outreach, and community venues and agencies supporting engagement. During the financial year, Mama’s Embrace CIC consulted stakeholders through informal and proportionate methods appropriate to the scale of the company’s activities. Feedback was gathered directly from participants during and following workshops and outreach sessions, through verbal discussion and facilitated reflection. Ongoing dialogue also took place with partner organisations, including Barnardo’s, a local church, and other community agencies involved in delivery and referral. Feedback from participants highlighted the importance of creating safe, welcoming spaces, flexible delivery formats, and content that was emotionally supportive, culturally sensitive, and easy to understand. In response, Mama’s Embrace CIC adjusted session pacing, incorporated additional time for peer discussion, and refined materials to improve accessibility and clarity. Partner feedback informed practical delivery arrangements, including session timing, venue suitability, and referral pathways. The company responded by adapting scheduling and strengthening collaborative working to better align activities with local needs and existing services. Stakeholder consultation throughout the year supported continuous improvement in the company’s activities and ensured that delivery remained aligned with its community-interest objectives.
The total amount paid or receivable by directors in respect of qualifying services was £3,966. Pensions costs was £135. A further £1,173 was paid to the director disclosed in the accounts as other debtors Note 7. This is accounted for, for tax purposes in the new accounting period under the PAYE scheme
