In the space provided below, please insert a general account of the company's activities in the financial year to which the report relates, including a description of how they have benefited the community. Utopia Project CIC is a community interest company which aims to improve life chances by providing opportunities for disadvantaged and vulnerable people within the community. Our ethos centres around delivering tailored projects that are active, challenging and engaging which aim to develop essential life skills and improve community cohesion. Utopia Project CIC support people in making the most of their unique talents and aid them in their transition into becoming valued members of society. Utopia Project CIC was formed in April 2014 and has been providing alternative education to Wirral schools since September 2014. Its Directors Danny Cooke, Phil Murray and Chris Black formed the organisation to provide the local area with a service that offers high levels of support for vulnerable young people. With vast experience of working in local schools we recognised the huge need for effective personal development opportunities that develop skills in confidence, resilience, respect and community awareness, particularly in the Birkenhead area. In the last 112 months Utopia has broadened its focus to develop projects working with a wider section of the community in need of additional support. This year we have received funding from the European Social Fund to run an employability programme for adults with low mood, anxiety and mental health issues. In addition to this we have worked alongside Barnardo's to deliver a number of personal development projects for young carers, providing respite and opportunities to develop confidence, self-esteem and motivation. Utopia continued to deliver after school and summary activity courses to provide personal development opportunities for young people from deprived areas and with a number of additional needs. These have enabled the participants to broaden their horizons through the opportunities provided. In addition to this work on our community garden in Rock Ferry has started giving young people the opportunity to learn new skills and develop the land in preparation for planting.
A holistic approach is at the heart of all of the programmes that we deliver we successfully engage the most vulnerable members of society by working in conjunction with a number of partner agencies such as: local schools, Wirral Borough Council, Barnardo's, the job centre and voluntary support services. We therefore provide solutions for agencies who need support in identifying appropriate provision for disengaged or vulnerable people within society. Regular consultation is completed with stakeholders in the form of stakeholder questionnaires. All participants involved in our programmes are encouraged to provide feedback on a regular basis and give input into the development of our programmes to ensure that courses are meeting the needs of those who are participating in them. Feedback from partner organisations are collated either annually, or upon completion of a specific project and parental / carer, feedback from the young people we work with is regularly sought to ensure provision in stakeholder led.
