Company activities and impact

We Are Almia CiC was established to support LGBTQIA+ people through creative, community-led wellbeing activity, with a focus on connection, expression, and collective care. During the period July 2024 to July 2025, the company focused primarily on organisational development, partnership building, and securing funding to deliver its first programme of activity. In March 2025, We Are Almia CiC received funding from the National Lottery Awards for All to deliver a creative wellbeing project for LGBTQIA+ people running from March 2025 to March 2026. Delivery of this project began at the end of this financial year, with the majority of activity scheduled to take place during the following reporting period. The company’s activities during this period, and the planned delivery of the funded project, are intended to benefit the community in the following ways: - LGBTQIA+ people will be able to access dedicated creative wellbeing spaces designed specifically for their experiences and identities - participants will have opportunities to connect with others, reducing isolation and strengthening peer support networks - the project will support improved wellbeing through creative expression, reflection, and shared experience - freelance LGBTQIA+ artists and facilitators will be paid to deliver sessions and contribute to programme development - partnerships with local organisations will help reach LGBTQIA+ communities who may not otherwise access arts or wellbeing provision - the project will support the development of sustainable, community-led LGBTQIA+ creative spaces beyond the funded period - participants will be supported to explore collective approaches to creativity, encouraging agency, voice, and community leadership The directors believe these activities provide community benefit by improving wellbeing, strengthening community connection, and increasing access to creative opportunities for LGBTQIA+ people, with the majority of impact expected during the next financial year as delivery progresses.

Consultation with stakeholders

The company’s stakeholders include LGBTQIA+ participants, freelance artists and facilitators, community partners, and local organisations supporting LGBTQIA+ people. During this reporting period, consultation was carried out informally through conversations with LGBTQIA+ artists, community members, and partner organisations during the development of the funded project. These discussions explored the need for dedicated LGBTQIA+ creative wellbeing spaces, the importance of accessible and inclusive environments, and interest in collective, community-led creative activity. Feedback highlighted: - a need for spaces specifically for LGBTQIA+ people to connect and reduce isolation - a preference for creative, informal, and welcoming environments rather than clinical wellbeing provision - interest in collective approaches to creativity and community building - the importance of paying LGBTQIA+ artists and valuing lived experience - a desire for activity that supports wellbeing alongside creative expression In response to this feedback, the company: - developed a creative wellbeing project specifically for LGBTQIA+ participants - designed sessions that prioritise connection, creativity, and shared experience - embedded paid opportunities for LGBTQIA+ artists and facilitators - planned delivery in partnership with community organisations to improve accessibility - focused on collective and participatory approaches to creative activity As delivery has only just begun towards the end of this financial year, further structured consultation and feedback will take place during the next reporting period to shape future activity.
