Partnerships

---

Working together to strengthen impact, reach more people, and deliver meaningful change.

At Royah CIC, we recognise that lasting impact is built through collaboration.
Our work is strengthened by partnerships that bring together local knowledge, trusted relationships, and shared commitment to supporting communities.

We do not operate in isolation — we work alongside organisations, community groups, and professionals to ensure our support is relevant, accessible, and effective.

Our partnerships are built on:

• Shared values — a commitment to wellbeing, inclusion, and community support 
• Mutual respect — recognising the expertise and role of each partner 
• Trust and consistency — developing relationships over time 
• Clear purpose — working together to meet identified community needs 

We focus on building relationships that are:

• Meaningful rather than transactional 
• Sustainable rather than short-term 
• Grounded in real community benefit 

We collaborate across a range of sectors to support delivery and extend our reach.

This includes:

We work alongside grassroots organisations who have strong local connections and understanding of community needs.

These partnerships support:

• Outreach and engagement 
• Co-delivery of sessions 
• Shared learning and resources 

We partner with local venues to deliver accessible, welcoming sessions in familiar environments.

This ensures:

• Reduced barriers to participation 
• Increased comfort and trust for participants 
• Stronger community presence 

We aim to build relationships with services that support physical and mental wellbeing, including:

• Social prescribers 
• Community health initiatives 
• Local wellbeing providers 

These partnerships enable:

• Appropriate signposting 
• Holistic support for participants 
• Increased awareness of available services 

We work with schools, youth groups, and education-based settings to engage younger individuals.

This supports:

• Early intervention 
• Confidence-building 
• Skill development in safe environments 

Recognising the importance of cultural understanding, we collaborate with organisations that reflect the communities we serve.

This helps ensure:

• Culturally appropriate delivery 
• Increased trust and engagement 
• Greater inclusivity 

Our partnerships are reflected in how we deliver our work.

This may include:

• Co-delivering sessions with trusted partners 
• Referring participants to relevant services 
• Hosting activities within partner venues 
• Sharing knowledge, resources, and expertise 
• Supporting wider community initiatives 

These collaborations allow us to provide more joined-up, responsive support.

Through partnership working, we are able to:

• Reach individuals who may not otherwise engage 
• Connect with underrepresented or isolated groups 
• Extend the impact of our programmes beyond a single setting 

Partners often play a key role in:

• Identifying community needs 
• Encouraging participation 
• Supporting ongoing engagement 

Our focus is not only on delivering projects, but on contributing to a stronger, more connected community infrastructure.

By working collaboratively, we:

• Avoid duplication of services 
• Maximise available resources 
• Strengthen local networks 
• Support long-term community resilience 

As Royah CIC grows, we aim to:

• Expand our partnership network across Birmingham 
• Develop deeper, long-term collaborations 
• Work more closely with health, education, and community sectors 
• Explore co-designed programmes with partners and participants 

We believe that the most effective support is built together.

Our role is not only to deliver — but to connect, support, and strengthen the wider network around the individuals we serve.

Stronger together.
More connected.
Greater impact.
