Our Social Impact Values and Goals

At the very heart of our company is our desire to improve skills, grow confidence, offer inclusivity, and breakdown gender stereotypes. Here’s how we aim to ensure we stick to our values:

  • Our financial model operates so that 1 in every 5 spaces on our workshops can be fully funded for a person in receipt of benefits.

  • We will be inclusive to all, regardless of gender, creed, colour or sexual orientation (although some of our workshops will be predominately aimed at women)

  • We will facilitate not only a place of learning but a community. We will do this by putting on community events throughout the year.

  • We will listen to our communities needs, we figure that if one person wants to learn something then there must be others. We will ask our community what skills they would like to learn and try to source good tutors to facilitate those workshops.

  • Only one of the four directors will take a salary, the other three will not take a salary from the company until such point as the community interest company is able to be self sustaining.

  • We will be transparent with our finances and spend.

  • As a community interest company we are legally obliged to run as a not for profit. In addition to this we have agreed to enter into an ‘asset lock’, this means that should we have to wind up in the future all our assets will be gifted/sold to another charity or cic. We are currently asset locked with Four Acre Farm another brilliant community interest company just up the road (you should go and check them out here).
