The company, Stork and the Bees CIC, operates as a community interest company with the primary aim of benefiting the wider community rather than generating private profit. Its activities focus on supporting and empowering families, particularly within the South West Hertfordshire area, by encouraging strong connections and sustainable behaviour. The organisation provides services, facilities and advice designed to support the development and wellbeing of children and parents, including initiatives that promote responsible parenting practices, reduce social isolation and create opportunities for community engagement. It also works to bring people together through inclusive spaces and activities, helping individuals and families build relationships and access support networks. Any surplus generated is reinvested back into the community to further these objectives, ensuring that the company’s impact remains focused on social value and long-term community benefit rather than financial gain

The company has engaged with a range of stakeholders including local families, parents, carers and community members within the South West Hertfordshire area, as well as partner organisations involved in family support and community services. The directors, who have relevant professional and community experience, used their knowledge and ongoing conversations with local residents and service users to shape the organisation’s activities and ensure they respond to real community needs. Consultation has taken place through informal discussions, feedback gathered during events and activities, and ongoing engagement with participants who use the company’s services. Individuals accessing support are encouraged to share their experiences, needs and suggestions, which helps the company adapt and improve its services. The organisation also works collaboratively with other local groups and stakeholders to understand gaps in provision and identify opportunities to better support families. Feedback collected through these interactions has informed the development of programmes that promote connection, reduce isolation and provide practical support for parents and carers. This continuous dialogue ensures that the company remains responsive and that its activities are shaped directly by the people and communities it aims to serve
