Our Vision
At Empowering Circle C.I.C, our vision is to create a world where holistic healing is universally recognized and accessible, allowing individuals to harness the transformative power of art, meditation, and music. We see a future where wellness, resilience, and connection are cornerstones of every community, and where personal growth is nurtured through creative self-expression. By providing accessible avenues for healing, we aim to eliminate barriers that prevent people from exploring and benefiting from holistic practices. Our vision is to empower individuals to heal and flourish, ultimately inspiring positive change in their lives and communities.
Our commitment to fostering thriving communities is central to our vision. We envision neighborhoods where the arts are integrated into daily life, and where creative expression is celebrated as a vital part of personal and communal well-being. Through our programs, we seek to cultivate environments that support emotional and mental health, helping individuals build resilience and find joy in their daily lives. By promoting a culture of wellness and connection, we aim to strengthen the social fabric, ensuring that every person feels valued and supported on their healing journey.
Collaborative partnerships are fundamental to realizing our vision. We aspire to build strong alliances with local businesses, schools, hospitals, and other organizations that share our commitment to holistic health. These partnerships will enable us to expand our reach and enhance the quality and impact of our programs. By working together, we can create a robust network of resources and support systems that empower individuals to embrace holistic healing. Our vision includes a community-wide effort to foster wellness and resilience, with each partner contributing their unique strengths and expertise to our shared goals.
Compassionate outreach is another key component of our vision. We aim to reach underserved and marginalized populations, ensuring that everyone has the opportunity to experience the healing potential of art, meditation, and music. Our outreach efforts will focus on breaking down barriers to access, providing inclusive and equitable programs that meet the diverse needs of our community. By creating a welcoming and supportive environment, we hope to inspire individuals to embark on their own healing journeys, fostering a brighter and more resilient future for all. Through our compassionate approach, we envision a world where holistic healing is a fundamental right, accessible to everyone, regardless of their circumstances.
Problems we are facing:
Young people in London waited the longest time for Mental Health treatment to start (66 days), while those in the midlands and East of England waited the shortest (50 days).
NHS England figures show the number of community waits Adults and children, of more than 52 weeks rose from 26,800 in April 2023 to 31,509 in January this year (18 per cent).
The total waiting list for community services grew slightly, from 940,603 to 962,040
between April 2023 and January.
The number of children waiting over a year jumped even more starkly, from 14,632 to 23,473 in the same time frame — an increase of 60 per cent. It is up from 12,526 (an 87 per cent increase) since January 2023.
By far the biggest driver of the growth for CYP services are in community pediatrics and particularly diagnosis and treatment of neurological development issues, such as autism and ADHD, where there are large and rapidly growing demand pressures.
