During the financial year, Youth Alliance Network Community UK Project CIC delivered a range of community focused programmes designed to improve the wellbeing, confidence, and social inclusion of young people and women across the local area. The CIC operated a Youth Sports Programme, funded by Sport England (£11,300), offering weekly football, fitness, and multi sports sessions for young people aged 16+. These structured activities provided safe and supervised environments that promoted physical health, teamwork, discipline, and positive social behaviour. The programme reduced isolation among young people, increased regular participation in physical activity, and contributed to improved mental wellbeing and stronger community cohesion. The CIC also delivered a Menopause Awareness and Support Project, funded by the National Lottery (£20,000). This initiative provided workshops, information sessions, and peer support groups for women experiencing menopause symptoms. The project increased awareness, reduced stigma, and empowered women with practical knowledge to manage physical and emotional changes associated with menopause. It created a supportive community space where women could share experiences, access guidance, and improve their overall wellbeing. Across both programmes, the CIC worked closely with local families, schools, community organisations, and health networks. Participant feedback demonstrated significant positive impact, including increased confidence, improved health outcomes, and stronger community engagement. All activities were delivered exclusively for community benefit, in line with the CIC’s social purpose and commitment to supporting vulnerable and underserved groups.
