DIGVENTURES COMMUNITY CIC

Company Number: 15944976 (England and Wales)

Year Ending: 30 September 2025

Company activities and impact

DigVentures Community CIC is currently delivering Grow: Deep Time, a National Lottery Heritage Fund-supported project. The project develops and operates a citizen-powered digital platform that enables members of the public to contribute to the understanding of landscapes at scale, supporting better protection of heritage, nature recovery, and landscape-scale decision-making. In the reporting period, the project engaged 4,262 participants aged 17–89 and drawn from 32 countries, contributing approximately 9,000 hours of effort. Community benefits delivered in the period include: Public access to skills and learning: free, structured online training, accessible to people regardless of prior experience, location, disability, or caring responsibilities. Wellbeing and connection: 68% of surveyed participants reported increased connection to the landscapes they engaged with and 91% reported being inspired to take further positive environmental action. Public-good data: openly available datasets contributed to partner organisations to support nature recovery and landscape management. Sector contribution: open publication of methods, case studies and learning, including an Honourable Mention in the European Union Prize for Citizen Science 2025 and contributions to national and international conferences.

Consultation with stakeholders

The company's stakeholders fall into three groups, all of whom have been engaged during the period: 1.Citizen scientists (participants) - consulted through structured surveys covering learning, confidence, connection to place and behaviour change; through ongoing community channels integrated into the platform; and through participant feedback used to refine training and project design. 2.Delivery and landscape partners - including National Landscapes, Wildlife Trusts and the National Trust. Consulted through partnership agreements, scoping and design meetings, partner dashboards providing real-time access to outputs, and structured feedback on data utility. 3.Sector, policy and organisational stakeholders - including Nesta, the Young Foundation cohort, and identified policy stakeholders such as Natural England, Defra and local authorities. Consulted through participation in the Young Foundation Learning Programme, co-delivery of sector workshops, conference presentations, and stakeholder mapping. A tiered workshop programme covering all three stakeholder groups is scheduled for delivery in March 2026. Stakeholder feedback has directly shaped delivery. Most notably, engagement with participants, potential partners and the Young Foundation programme informed a refinement to the governance model being developed for the Deep Time platform and delivery network, moving from an early emphasis on a formal cooperative structure to a more flexible participatory model that retains democratic principles while supporting sustainable scaling.
