Company activities and impact

During the financial year, Urban Soul CIC has continued to deliver community projects focused on food security, environmental education, and wellbeing. Urban Soul operates two community allotments which are used for growing fresh produce and delivering practical community projects. During the year, community sessions were held on the allotments involving groups of up to 14 participants at a time, where volunteers and local residents worked together on planting, building, and maintaining the growing spaces. These activities provided opportunities for people to learn practical skills, improve their wellbeing through outdoor activity, and engage with sustainable food growing. Produce grown on the allotments has been used to support local food distribution and community initiatives. Urban Soul has also maintained a weekly Saturday food distribution programme which has been running for over a year. Through this initiative, the organisation has supported approximately 50 families and around 100 individuals each month, helping to improve access to food for people experiencing financial hardship. The organisation has built partnerships with a number of businesses and organisations including Pret A Manger, Sainsbury’s, The King’s Trust, and B&Q. These partnerships have enabled Urban Soul to redistribute surplus food, access donated materials, and collaborate on community-based initiatives. Urban Soul regularly delivers donated food to organisations supporting vulnerable individuals including YMCA, Framework, and other hostels providing accommodation for people experiencing homelessness and families in temporary housing. Through a partnership with B&Q, Urban Soul has also received donated materials which have been redistributed to families and individuals in need to support practical household and community improvement projects. Urban Soul also runs community wellbeing activities including regular community walks and a beekeeping project which raises awareness of pollination, biodiversity, and environmental sustainability. These activities are delivered by a small volunteer-led team, working with community members and partner organisations to support local people, strengthen community connections, and improve access to food and resources.

Consultation with stakeholders

Urban Soul CIC regularly engages with its stakeholders to ensure that its activities respond to the needs of the community it serves. Key stakeholders include local residents and families who receive food support, volunteers who participate in community activities, partner organisations such as Pret A Manger, Sainsbury’s, The King’s Trust and B&Q, and local charities and support organisations including YMCA and Framework that receive food donations. Consultation takes place informally through regular conversations during community activities, volunteer sessions on the allotments, weekly food distribution sessions, and through ongoing communication with partner organisations. Feedback is also received through social media, direct messages, and discussions with community partners. Feedback from stakeholders has influenced the organisation’s activities during the year. For example, demand from families and individuals experiencing financial hardship led to the continuation and development of the weekly Saturday food distribution programme. Feedback from volunteers and community participants has also helped shape activities on the allotments, including practical sessions focused on planting, building, and maintaining the growing spaces. Urban Soul continues to work closely with its partner organisations to identify opportunities to redistribute surplus food and donated materials to individuals, families, and organisations supporting vulnerable people. As a small volunteer-led organisation, Urban Soul places importance on maintaining open and regular communication with the community and partner organisations to ensure its activities continue to provide meaningful benefit.
