COMMUNITY INTEREST ANNUAL REPORT

EXPERIENCE COUNTS (YORK) CIC

Company Number: 10421223 (England and Wales)

Year Ending: 31 March 2026

Company activities and impact

From our past experience we know that our beneficiaries may be struggling to believe in their talents, skills and knowledge and that belief (once rekindled) can give them the confidence, self-confidence and energy to move out of poverty/low incomes and into employment. We know that we can work with beneficiaries, their referring agencies and provide follow up support to improve their lives. Often the most important message is they are not on their own and that others within the community are experiencing similar levels of anxiety and deprivation. The difference the project makes is not only in the outcomes but the quotes we receive from the beneficiaries. People rebuild social skills and work together on activities with each beneficiary supporting the others to engage and learn. The regrowth of confidence and self-belief is wonderful to see and it’s an important part of the programme. With confidence, the ability to try and try again is easier and the outcomes follow.

Consultation with stakeholders

We track each beneficiary’s progress by asking them to complete a self-assessment questionnaire in week 1 to ascertain their understanding of their current levels of confidence and recognition of their knowledge and skills. We encourage and capture feedback throughout each programme and revise our following week’s delivery in light of this. We endeavour to ensure that every beneficiary will have a task which will interest and benefit them. We also check in with them at the start of each workshop in the programme as to how the week has gone for them and again flex our planned activities to suit. If we feel an activity from the previous week was not as successful as hoped, then we check that too. Often it worked (we just want the best!) but sometimes beneficiaries are delighted to have the opportunity to have further explanations or to engage in a different activity aimed at achieving the same learning. We revisit the assessment exercise in week 6 and measure the impact from the course.
