### Year Ending: 30 September 2025

Company activities and impact

In the space provided below, please insert a general account of the company’s activities in the financial year to which the report relates, including a description of how they have benefited the community. Wizzafest CIC exists to create inclusive, community-led music and arts events that bring people together, support local artists, and provide accessible opportunities for creative expression and connection. During the year ended 30 September 2025, the company did not deliver a full-scale public festival. This period was intentionally used to reflect on previous delivery, review our operating model, and plan a more sustainable approach that enables us to continue delivering community benefit in the long term. Work undertaken during the year included strategic planning, reviewing operational delivery and resource requirements, exploring future event formats, and engaging with partners and collaborators. This process was informed by learning from previous events and a commitment to improving accessibility, inclusivity, and overall resilience. As a result, the company has adopted a revised delivery model. This includes moving towards a smaller, single-day flagship event, alongside a programme of more frequent, lower-scale community events. This approach allows us to reach a wider audience across the year, create more opportunities for local artists and community participation, and ensure delivery is manageable and sustainable for the team. These changes are intended to strengthen the long-term viability of the organisation, reduce pressure on volunteers and organisers, and provide more consistent and accessible opportunities for community engagement. The company has already begun planning its 2026 and 2027 programmes, with a number of events in development that reflect this new approach.

Consultation with stakeholders

The company’s stakeholders include attendees, local community members, artists and performers, volunteers, partner organisations, and venues. During the year, the company engaged with stakeholders through structured reflection on previous event delivery, alongside ongoing discussions with team members, artists, and partners. This included consideration of feedback relating to accessibility, event delivery, volunteer capacity, and overall participant experience. This feedback identified a need to develop a more sustainable and manageable event model, while maintaining the organisation’s core values of inclusivity, accessibility, and community connection. In response, the company has adapted its approach by moving away from a full weekend festival towards a smaller, single-day flagship event, alongside a series of more frequent, lower-scale events. This revised model is intended to improve accessibility, increase opportunities for participation, and support the long-term sustainability of the organisation.
