Our Priorities - We offer a variety of programmes & services
Health and Wellbeing
Addressing the pressing needs and demands of our user community, this is our key focus in the medium term, reflecting our commitment to improving overall well-being.
Our current and planned projects encompass a wide range of crucial areas, including Neurodiversity and Mental Health, Talking Therapies, Walking and Moving, Cycling Revival, Cancer Awareness, Substance Recovery, and Gambling Harms.
Our projects are designed with a Public Health perspective to address the multifaceted nature of wellness and provide integrated support.

Women's Enablement
Syngesis CIC is dedicated to empowering women through targeted support and facilitation.
We run two dynamic groups for older and younger women, respectively, focusing on their unique needs and experiences. They bring valuable lived experience in key areas we address, and they actively co-produce projects and initiatives tailored to meet this user cohorts' specific needs.
Supporting and empowering women is a central focus of our programs, reflecting our commitment to fostering inclusive and impactful community development.
Children and Families
Children and families are a central focus of our efforts.
Our dedicated projects aim to support and enhance their well-being through tailored initiatives. Key programs include Maternal Health and Wellbeing, led by our Perinatal Champions, Women's Health initiatives, and the Two Year Old Nursery Education program.
By addressing the specific needs of children and families, we strive to create a nurturing and supportive environment that promotes health, education, and overall well-being.
Youth Leadership and Development
Youth leadership and development is a cornerstone of our programming at Syngesis CIC. We are dedicated to empowering young people through a variety of impactful projects, including a Mentoring Scheme, Youth Development Programs, and Active Sports initiative.
Our Youth and Changemakers team plays a pivotal role in this effort, as we support and facilitate their involvement in co-producing activities that resonate with their interests and needs.
By fostering leadership skills and providing robust support, we aim to inspire the next generation of leaders and changemakers within our community.
Diversity and Inclusion
At Syngesis CIC, diversity and inclusion are fundamental to our mission.
Our initiatives emphasise Anti-Discrimination Practices, Promotion of Inclusion, and Hate Crimes Awareness. Our commitment is to create a society where everyone feels valued and respected, irrespective of their background.
Our efforts primarily focus on socially and economically disadvantaged communities, with a current emphasis on projects supporting Black, Asian, and Minoritised Communities.
By prioritising these groups, we strive to address systemic inequalities and foster a more inclusive and equitable environment for all.
Culture and Heritage
Syngesis CIC is deeply committed to celebrating and preserving arts, culture and heritage through diverse initiatives.
Our current projects include a short film on Gambling Harms, developed with a local community film director, writers, film technicians, and actors who have received practical training in the process, with the film to be launched in Autumn 2024.
We are working with creatives from the community to develop a vibrant Creative Writing initiative and a Neurodiversity Arts project in collaboration with local and international partners.
These projects are integral to our overarching priorities, leveraging a creative approach to achieve meaningful outcomes.
By fostering artistic expression and cultural appreciation, we aim to enrich our community and support its diverse narratives.
Enterprise & Business in the Community
We are committed to fostering employment, enterprise and supporting business growth within our community.
While we are in the process of fully developing our programs in this area, we are actively working with partners to create a support system for start-ups, small businesses, and aspiring entrepreneurs, especially those from marginalised communities.
Our goal is to work with our partners to empower individuals facing obstacles and challenges to employment by providing them with the necessary skills, personalised support, and training opportunities. Through these efforts, we aim to build pathways to sustainable employment and business success, ensuring that everyone has the opportunity to thrive in the modern economy.
