Company activities and impact

We continued work with Active Essex Healthy Active Families (HAF) programme in 2023 – 2024 as a Local Trusted Organisation (LTO) and through this we offered a range of free, inclusive supportive activity groups supporting neuro diversity, cognitive disability, physical, emotional and mental health. These holiday groups specialised in levels 1-4 SEND need and families with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND). We trained skilled volunteers in approaches to include personal care and communication such as Makaton. Our HAF groups ran from April 2023 – end of February 2024 providing food, activities and support for children and families with a range of needs who may be in poverty, temporary housing or situations that cause difficulties such as domestic violence. Our offer was the only one locally and in West Essex that supports children with level 1 – 4 SEND needs. We had children coming from Rochford, Mid Essex and further in West Essex as a result of this. After February 2024 we paused the HAF programme and chose to offer more ‘targeted/ specialised support’ such as advocacy, outreach and a mental health group for ages 9 – 12. This group supported children with SEND needs who were struggling mentally. Our group was named ‘emotional eagles’ by the children attending. We have ‘on boarded’ new volunteers ranging from adults and older adults to aid with service delivery and we are working with our children aged 12+ to develop their mentoring skills. We have 20 volunteers at present (March 2025) We continued work at the Town Park for SEND delivery, which is specialised for a range of disabilities and children with sensory needs, behavioural difficulties and who are vulnerable through their care needs or statues. We added value to the centre with previous grant in 2023 and we are seen as a ‘locally trusted organisation – LTO’. We have continued with our walks programme thanks to Grant funding from Essex Community Foundation. Offering free walks to over 150 people. We are looking to revise the walks programme and our offer for the community with this. In January 2025 we commence ‘My Time’ accessible Yoga and breathwork on a sliding scale and up to March 2025 we supported 35 adults and children aged 8 – 80 with a range of long-term conditions and disabilities. There has been a deficit in the funds for this, so we are seeking funding to enable these groups to run on a sliding scale. We have continued with Walk Talk and Do with Matipo a local Arts CIC. These sessions are now Monthly and offer free support to adults and older children aged 14+. We continued the (Reach) free term time under 5’s group with support from Harlow Health Centres trust. this will ensure we can continue with Reach and grow this service for local families. Over 250 families have benefited from these groups up till March 2025. We have looked at a 2nd space at Moot House as we are growing ‘in house’ Counselling team and students from local colleges. This is starting to form a base of therapies as from November with our first student due to qualify in June 2025. Our solidifying therapies, advocacy and outreach was supported by a grant from Peoples Postcode Lottery. We also invested in some training for the team and residential courses – away from Harlow which have been beneficial in building our team and enhancing community growth. We have continued with Inclusive Cycling – A project we have called Inclusive Cycling Around the Neighbourhood (ICAN). Starting to offer training and support for new riders alongside cycles repaired and issued to a range of service users (152 cycles to date - March 2025) Building local links, we have strengthened the foundations of this to include the support from Lee Valley Cycles and Harlow Council as well as other voluntary organisations such as Mental Health services, MIND, Learning Disability team, Rainbow Services and Integration Support Services who have applied and been supported in this We have also supported Harlow Fields school with cycles and support as well as building links with local shopping centre for cycles and Essex Police.

Consultation with stakeholders

Our stakeholders include our volunteers, local community, individuals who attend groups and sessions which are families, children, adults and older adults. We seek and encourage involvement from our community in the development, delivery and growth of the services and support that we offer. As an organisation and CIC we are committed to building Community Capacity and building capacity, skills and abilities for service users and volunteers whom we work with. 8 volunteers have started work in schools and health settings after gaining experience and training with us. We encourage growth of the team and individuals who have and work with us. We seek feedback verbally, in person, through short surveys and reflection on the nature of support we offer and how this could be developed. Stakeholder involvement has been pivotal in our exploration of needs locally and central to our understanding of the tertiary support we can offer in the everchanging fabric of health promotion and service provision. Our stakeholders include our volunteer team who have and continue to evolve as we support their growth and community capacity, many of our volunteers have gone onto paid roles in the past year and been supported in their confidence and development through the support we offer as a CIC organisation. We continue to signpost to a range of statutory and voluntary services and potential opportunities.
