During the financial year, Speakeasy Club CIC continued to deliver its mission of using the power of community sport to improve mental health and wellbeing, reduce loneliness and social isolation, and encourage people to seek support before reaching crisis point. The organisation worked in partnership with community sports clubs, national governing bodies, charities, local businesses and volunteers to provide free, accessible mental health and wellbeing resources in trusted community environments. Through workshops, awareness events, fundraising activities, community walks, online content and storytelling, Speakeasy Club encouraged open conversations around mental health and helped create safer, more connected sporting communities. A key area of activity was the continued development of the Bench2Bench initiative, bringing people together through organised walks between community sports clubs to promote connection, physical activity and positive mental wellbeing while celebrating the role volunteers play in local communities. The organisation also expanded its programme of Clubhouse Conversations, featuring respected sporting personalities sharing their experiences to help reduce stigma around mental health. Throughout the year, Speakeasy Club developed and distributed free digital resources, educational content and practical tools designed to help individuals, clubs and volunteers better support themselves and others. The organisation also strengthened partnerships with sporting organisations and charitable funders to increase its reach and lay the foundations for future growth. The company's activities have benefited the community by improving awareness of mental health, encouraging people to connect through sport, reducing stigma associated with asking for help, and providing free resources that enable community sports clubs to better support the wellbeing of their members. These activities have strengthened community resilience, promoted social inclusion and helped create environments where people feel more able to talk, listen and support one another.
Speakeasy Club CIC works with a wide range of stakeholders who contribute to, benefit from and help shape the organisation's activities. These include individuals with lived experience of mental health challenges, members of community sports clubs, volunteers, sports coaches, club committees, participants in events and workshops, partner organisations, funders, sponsors, local businesses, healthcare professionals and the wider community. The company actively seeks feedback through informal conversations, surveys, workshop evaluations, social media engagement, meetings with partner organisations, discussions with club representatives and volunteers, and regular contact with people who use our resources or attend our events. Lived experience remains central to the organisation's approach, ensuring that the voices of those with personal experience of mental health challenges help inform decision-making and future development. Feedback received throughout the year has directly influenced the development of the organisation's programmes and resources. This has included expanding the Bench2Bench walking initiative, increasing the focus on community sports clubs as trusted places for connection, creating more practical and accessible wellbeing resources, developing new educational workshops, and improving the accessibility of online information through QR code-enabled resources. Stakeholder feedback has also highlighted the importance of creating positive, relatable conversations around mental health rather than clinical messaging. In response, Speakeasy Club has continued to use the language and culture of community sport to engage people who may not otherwise seek support, helping to reduce stigma and encourage earlier conversations about mental wellbeing. The company remains committed to listening to its stakeholders and using their experiences to ensure its activities continue to deliver meaningful and lasting community benefit.
