The company’s key stakeholders are the young people who participate in our programmes, as well as their parents and wider community. We regularly consult with participants to understand their experiences and improve delivery. At the beginning and end of each session, participants are asked how they are feeling, allowing us to track changes in wellbeing in real time. Across the programme, approximately 90% of participants reported feeling better at the end of sessions compared to the beginning. This ongoing feedback loop helps us adapt sessions to better meet their needs and ensure a positive, supportive environment. We also actively engage with parents and caregivers through community meetings and informal discussions. These consultations provide valuable insight into the broader impact of our work. Parents have consistently reported improvements in school attendance, academic performance, behaviour at home, and overall confidence among participants. This combination of direct participant feedback and parental consultation ensures that our programmes remain responsive, relevant, and impactful within the community.
