Company activities and impact

Evolving Roots CIC has carried on activities during the period for the benefit of the community by providing inclusive, creative, and wellbeing-focused activities for people living in York and the surrounding areas. The company’s purpose is to support individuals who may be considered vulnerable, including children and young people experiencing neurodiversity, social isolation, emotional wellbeing challenges, or difficulty engaging in mainstream school or community environments. The company operates for the benefit of the community and reinvests all income and resources into delivering accessible, supportive activities aligned with its community interest purpose. During the reporting period 2024 to 2025, Evolving Roots CIC delivered a range of creative arts and wellbeing activities across community venues and local outdoor spaces. Sessions were designed to be welcoming, flexible, and low-pressure, enabling participants to engage in creative expression, build confidence, and support emotional wellbeing. The company’s activities benefited children, young people, and families by supporting: emotional regulation and wellbeing confidence and self-esteem social connection and inclusion engagement through creative and nature-based activity All activities were delivered in a way that prioritised safety, inclusion, and accessibility. Lottery funding enabled the company to begin delivering regular, accessible creative arts and wellbeing sessions from early 2025. Funding received through The National Lottery Community Fund supported the creation of safe, inclusive environments where participants could engage in creative activities, build relationships, and access wellbeing support. Alongside grant-funded activity, the company delivered a number of paid sessions. Fees were intentionally kept affordable to reduce barriers to access and did not fully cover the cost of delivery. Grant funding was therefore used to ensure sessions remained inclusive and accessible to the wider community. Activities delivered during the reporting period included: Creative arts and wellbeing workshops for children and young people aged 6–18 Family-inclusive creative sessions supporting children and carers Outdoor 'Walk and Talk' wellbeing sessions supporting mental health and connection through nature

Consultation with stakeholders

Evolving Roots CIC has consulted with a range of stakeholders during the reporting period to help shape and develop its activities. Two of our directors had been previously facilitating arts, nature-based and wellbeing activities for children, young people and families for several years, and our current offer has been shaped by insights gained through these ongoing interactions. In November 2024 we held an open day for young people and their families to meet our team, ask questions about our proposed services, and suggest what they would like to see. A second open day took place in September 2025 to launch our lottery-funded project. This again provided an opportunity for local families to meet the team, learn about the activities being offered at that stage, ask questions, and make suggestions for future development while taking part in free creative and wellbeing activities. Within our sessions, we engage both young people and parents in ongoing discussion about experiences, challenges and future aspirations. We regularly ask participants about their interests and preferred activities so that delivery continues to reflect local need. Feedback has also been gathered through attendance monitoring, repeat participation, informal conversations, and where appropriate, surveys, questionnaires, photographs and video records to help measure impact. The company has also consulted more widely through engagement with schools, organisations, local ward councillors and professionals working with children and families across York in order to understand local need, identify barriers to access, and explore how provision may best support children and young people who benefit from creative and wellbeing-focused activity. In February 2025, we exhibited at York’s first SEND Connect event, which brought together families, professionals and services supporting Special Educational Needs and Disabilities. This provided an opportunity to engage with new families, hear directly about local need, and raise awareness of our developing provision. This consultation has informed both current delivery and future planning, including the development of funded community sessions and specialist provision designed to respond to identified local needs.
