During the reporting period, the CIC delivered a range of community-based wellbeing and coaching programmes for children and parents. This included the delivery of the InspireU group programme for young people aged 11–16, alongside three separate parenting workshop courses funded through micro-grants. The InspireU programme consisted of 8 sessions delivered between September and November at a local community venue. A total of 19 young people engaged with the programme, with a core group attending regularly. The sessions focused on emotional wellbeing, including building self-confidence, developing a positive mindset, understanding and managing emotions, and recognising what is within personal control. Measured outcomes using “life wheel” assessments and participant feedback showed improvements in self-confidence, relationships (including friendships and siblings), engagement with school, and overall wellbeing. Participants reported feeling calmer, more positive, and better able to manage their emotions. The group format also provided a safe space for sharing experiences and building communication skills. Alongside this, three parenting courses were delivered, supporting over 25 families in total. These workshops provided parents with practical strategies to better understand and support their children’s emotional and behavioural needs. Topics included emotional regulation, communication, and managing challenges at home. Feedback from parents indicated increased confidence, improved understanding of children’s mental health and emotional needs, and the ability to implement positive changes within the home. The sessions also facilitated peer support, helping parents to feel less isolated and more connected to others experiencing similar challenges. Across all activities, the CIC has continued to meet its community interest objectives by improving emotional wellbeing, strengthening family relationships, and increasing resilience in both children and parents.

The CIC actively gathers feedback from participants to shape and improve its services. For the InspireU programme, feedback was collected directly from young people through discussions and informal evaluation activities. Participants shared what they enjoyed most and what they found useful, which included topics such as positive thinking, managing emotions, self-talk, and understanding mistakes. Their feedback influenced session content, with activities adapted to meet their interests and needs. For example, sessions incorporated more game-based learning and opportunities for open discussion based on participant input. Parents attending the workshops also provided verbal feedback throughout the courses. This highlighted the value of practical strategies, shared experiences, and opportunities to connect with other parents. Parents expressed a desire for ongoing support and additional services, including further workshops and direct support for their children. Collaboration with partner organisations, such as youth providers, also informed delivery. For example, working alongside referral partners supported engagement with young people already attending community groups and helped ensure the sessions were accessible and relevant. Feedback from all stakeholders has been used to refine future delivery. Planned improvements include offering smaller group sizes to enhance support, incorporating more physical activity for young people, strengthening communication with parents prior to programmes, and expanding provision based on identified demand.
