The Full Story
About
UNIQUE EVENTS (SW) C.I.C. is a professional, Devon-based event management company with a social purpose. Incorporated as a Community Interest Company on 28th February 2017, we are focused exclusively on delivering events that create positive social impact and strengthen the communities we serve.
From the outset, the company has planned to secure funding for the acquisition of a mobile stage, sound and lighting system. This equipment will directly support two of our core activities: the delivery of accessible community events and the development of local skills and participation opportunities.
During the second quarter, we will be launching a structured volunteer programme designed to increase both individual capacity and wider community resilience. Participants will have access to training pathways that build practical skills, confidence, and employability through hands-on involvement in live events.
An integral part of our events programme is the delivery of inclusive workshops for people of all ages. These workshops are designed to develop skills, knowledge, experience, and confidence, ensuring that participation extends beyond attendance and into meaningful engagement.
A key element of our long-term strategy is the development of strong partnerships with local organisations and existing service providers. By collaborating effectively, we aim to extend our reach, deepen our impact, and maximise the social value generated through every event we deliver.
