Company activities and impact

We The Free C.I.C. is primarily an organization that supports volunteers who wish to advocate for diet change. The company’s activities have included the following: 1. offered support, induction, training, and resources to individuals who engage in animal rights and animal welfare advocacy 2. we have raised awareness for the benefits of a plant-based diet for animals, human health, and for the environment 3. promoted the humane treatment of animals and educated the public in issues of animal welfare and the prevention of cruelty to and suffering of animals. Specifically, in this financial year our volunteer network grew to 8000 volunteers across 145 volunteer teams, who collectively held over 1,200 events resulting in tens of thousands of meaningful conversations with members of the public which resulted in those members of the public being offered ongoing support including access to qualified nutritional guidance and mentor programmes. We also provided free communication training to over 4,000 trainees and inducted almost 100 volunteer team leaders. By supporting a network of volunteers allowing them to host educational outreach events, this has benefitted the community by raising awareness specifically around the health and environmental impacts of diet change, and being offered free support in making meaningful changes that help the environment, human health, and animal welfare, and contributing to a reduction in greenhouse gas emissions and deforestation amongst others. We have also supported advocates to host regular “community events” such as volunteering days at animal sanctuaries, park / river clean-ups, and even volunteer recruitment days at fayres and markets to support the wellbeing of local communities.

Consultation with stakeholders

The company’s stakeholders include Directors Volunteers who engage with the company Members of the public who interface with events which the company supports. Directors both executive and non executive are consulted in quarterly board meetings and more regularly as necessary. Volunteers are consulted every 6 months through pulse surveys, and also have the option to submit feedback following every training course, through our volunteer network website, and by email as appropriate. As a result of the volunteer feedback, we have reviewed and updated various policies, notably our complaints policy, harassment policies, and code of conducts. Members of the public have not been explicitly consulted; however, we do accept suggestions and complaints should they arise and have a complaints policy for such occasions. As a result of this feedback from members of the public, we have updated our event formats to ensure consensual engagement with our events.
