Company activities and impact

Circle Scotland is a vibrant community hub for charities, social enterprises, community groups and socially aware businesses in Dundee and the surrounding area.We provide affordable offices, co-working and community space and affordable meeting and event spaces.Our tenants range from large national charities such as Cornerstone and Barnardo’s to small independent charities and sole traders.We also offer a host of networking opportunities to national charities, social enterprises and community groups and boast a busy calendar of events and room hire bookings, with around 700 visitors every week. In addition to our property services, we offer consultancy and business support to those starting up and developing their organisations.During the year, The Circle introduced another two services, The Circle Cafe and The Circle Academy.The Circle Cafe which is an employability and training programme for looked after young people and care leavers. We joined forces with Barnardo’s works, Dundee City Council and Leisure and Culture Dundee to apply to the Community Lottery Fund for funding to start this project. Together we aim to train young people with varying boundaries into meaningful employment.Over the course of 12 months the young people on the programme will receive support and training in a hospitality environment while being paid the living wage. They will receive a formal qualification as part of their training which will be transferrable into future employment.The Circle Academy is a 12-week programme focused on developing skills and knowledge in the following key areas, mindset, business model, finance, legal, governance, people, social impact, and sustainability through multiple income streams.The Academy is open to anyone wanting to create positive social or environmental change in a sustainable and financially viable way.The programme will provide the tools and building blocks to launch and grow a More Than Profit organisation, alongside one-to-one support, and guidance with industry experts as proposals are formulated and refined.The first cohort of the Academy was successfully launched in September 2019 after almost two years of development.The pilot cohort included candidates from across Scotland at various stages in business.The academy worked with a range of speakers from both the 3rd sector and commercial business, with the aim of bridging the gap between all sectors.We are an anchor organisation for the Resilient Communities programme, holding monthly peer-support and learning meetings for UnLtd award winners.We became an accredited Living wage employer, committing to paying all our employees a minimum of £9 per hour.We partner with local organisations supporting ambitious and far reaching community development ideas, hosting several events for mental awareness week 2019 and Tinnitus aware-ness week.We collaborated with Creative Dundee on Dundee Soup events which has so far distributed over £500 in small grants to community groups.We provide a pathway to the third sector through volunteering, work experience, student placement and internships.Our successes have been recognised both local and nationally, including being named on the NatWest SE100 Index in 2019 .During the year, Circle Scotland has benefited the community in the following ways:-We held several events for training and skills development. We provide rooms to local com-munity groups, charities, social enterprises and business for their events and host many of our own events. We have had weekly lunch clubs, learning lunches with external speakers, free networking events. We have regular mother and baby fitness classes and healthy eating/slimming classes weekly.

Consultation with stakeholders

The company’s stakeholders are individuals, small and medium sized charities, projects, groups, social enterprises, public sector organisations and private sector businesses. We car-ried out market research to identify the needs of the users into the building with regards to the services we offer and the facilities on site that we provide. We continually engage with our stakeholders through, e-newsletters, social media and monthly meetings.In September we ran an open Day where we invited our Stakeholders to share their input to help us form our new strategy.
