Company activities and impact

Activities during this period involved a series of woodland engagement sessions using a wooded area in Holyrood Park’s Wells o’ Wearie site. We delivered the sessions in collaboration with The Om Music Sanctuary, Hillcrest Futures Hub and Goodies Cafe, and some drop-in participants also joined from Street Fit Scotland and Turning Point. The funders included Scottish Forestry, Edinburgh City Council Community Grant Fund, the Causey Development Trust and Living Streets. Additional in-kind support was provided by Historic Environment Scotland and the Southside Community Centre. The sessions were attended by 85 people over seven different sessions. Most of the participants were men and women experiencing financial difficulty and struggling with, or previously been struggling with, their mental health. Some were dealing with loneliness and/or depression, anxiety, trauma, stress. Others were care-experienced, living in supported accommodation, battling addiction or in recovery. Some had additional support needs and we had one wheelchair user amongst the participants. The sessions created space and time to allow participants to share life experience and stories and to write, make music and sing. All the activities were designed to help the participants de-stress and express or manage their feelings and emotions in a productive way. We undertook no other projects in the 12 months ending 31 July 2025.

Consultation with stakeholders

Our stakeholders are: - The communities and groups and individuals we engage with - The grant funders (e.g. Scottish Forestry) who wish to engage with these groups - Specialist suppliers e.g. artists, storytellers, BSL interpreters, and other freelancers Funders approach us with a need to engage and we then look to existing needs within target communities and develop a suitable way to address these needs through the engagement vehicle developed. Before events we speak with our extensive network of community contacts to identify need. During and after the events/ activities we seek feedback to inform and refine our activities and provide a detailed report and recommendations to the funders. This also includes participant monitoring and feedback, recommendations, reflection of delivery against the organisation’s objectives, professional photographic record of the event and any other pertinent information. We maintain a close relationship with our funders and have regular constructive discussions on past and future projects, opportunities for development and elements that have been particularly successful.

Directors' remuneration

Directors received no remuneration other than in relation to direct time incurred on project activities. The latter payments totalled £3,250 during the financial year.

Transfer of assets

No transfer of assets other than for full consideration
