artnerships and Community Engagement We are a multi-award-winning Community Interest Company (CIC) that works with partners across all our programmes.

This co-production approach ensures that our activities meet the needs of the communities we serve, giving participants a sense of ownership and encouraging their involvement in programme delivery. Through our previous programmes, we have successfully engaged participants in all stages of planning and development. We hold regular consultation meetings and focus groups with approximately 66 members of our community, alongside local businesses and organisations. This ongoing engagement has enabled us to build trusted relationships with both existing and potential participants. Participants are encouraged to provide regular feedback on our current activities and suggest new programmes or improvements. Formal feedback is collected monthly through: Tick-box feedback cards Video testimonials Case studies During the first session of each programme, and at regular intervals thereafter, participants discuss and agree the topics they would like to learn more about or the activities they would like to take part in. This ensures our programmes remain relevant, responsive, and participant-led.
