Changing Paradigms CIC
London, UK
Changing Paradigms CIC is a community-rooted, not-for-profit social enterprise based in London. We are dedicated to creating inclusive, accessible spaces where children, young people and families especially those from disadvantaged backgrounds or with additional needs can thrive through creativity, connection and community expression.
We design and deliver free and low-cost workshops and wellbeing programmes that reflect the lived experiences, voices and needs of the communities we serve. Our work is shaped by the community and delivered by a team with shared lived experiences
Our programmes are delivered from a range of shared spaces including Earls Court Community Hub, Aisgill Avenue Basketball Court, Bishops Park, Virgin Active Fulham, as well as schools, leisure centres and outdoor spaces across London. This flexible, mobile model helps us reach people who may otherwise face barriers to participation.
We’ve used roller skating as a creative tool for youth engagement, mentoring and community building both at local festivals and within regular workshops. Thanks to recent funding from The National Lottery, Sport England and Dr Edwards and Bishop King’s Fulham Charity, we are now expanding our offer to deliver up to two years of weekly youth workshops, with a focus on physical activity, creativity and wellbeing.
These sessions will include roller skating, but also extend into other accessible activities such as gymnastics, football, basketball, self-defence and creative arts. Alongside this, we will offer free nutritious meals or healthy snacks, helping to tackle food insecurity and remove barriers to participation.
We identify and engage service users through:
Referrals from schools, youth workers and healthcare professional
Direct outreach at community events and session
Word of mouth and local networks
In addition to youth work and wellbeing initiatives, we also aim to embed food support into our workshops and events. By offering meals at sessions, we hope to make it easier for families to attend and benefit fully from the activities, without the added pressure of cost or food insecurity.
All surplus funds and donations are reinvested into our work covering materials, staff, transport, food provision and expanded workshop delivery. Our primary beneficiaries are children and young people aged 6–18 along with their families and local residents facing social or economic hardship.
We confirm that all food donations received via Neighbourly will be distributed completely free of charge to individuals and families experiencing food insecurity. Food support is delivered through our workshops, pop up events and local community engagement programs.
As a new company with limited resources, our website is currently in development along with our IG account we have included a working draft to share our growing vision
