Bridlington Seasider CIC
Bridlington Seasider CIC is a community interest company established to deliver inclusive, accessible activities that improve wellbeing, social inclusion, and opportunities for individuals within the local community. The organisation’s primary focus is on creating positive, engaging experiences that bring people together, reduce isolation, and support healthier, more connected communities.
The core aims of Bridlington Seasider CIC are to:
- Increase access to inclusive recreational, health, and community-based activities
- Promote physical and mental well-being through participation in positive activities
- Reduce social isolation, particularly among people with special needs and disabilities, and older people
- Strengthen community cohesion through shared experiences
- Support the development of confidence, skills, and independence among participants
The organisation is committed to ensuring its activities are accessible to all, particularly individuals who may face barriers to participation. This includes children and young people, individuals with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND), families experiencing disadvantage, and those at risk of social exclusion.
Bridlington Seasider CIC also supports the development of inclusive volunteering opportunities, particularly for people with SEND. Through supported volunteering roles and tailored opportunities, individuals can build confidence, develop social and employability skills, and increase independence within a safe and supportive environment. The organisation recognises volunteering as an important pathway for personal development, community engagement, and reducing isolation.
While Bridlington Seasider CIC is rooted within the Bridlington community, its work extends across the wider East Riding of Yorkshire. The organisation supports groups, families, and individuals travelling from across the East Riding to access its activities and provision, particularly from rural and coastal communities where inclusive opportunities may be limited. This wider reach reflects both the demand for accessible provision and the organisation’s commitment to ensuring support is available to those who need it most.
In line with its constitution, the CIC operates for community benefit rather than private profit, with any surplus reinvested into future activities and development.
The organisation delivers a range of programmes, including community events, inclusive activity sessions, and partnership-based initiatives that support health, wellbeing, and social engagement. Through collaboration with local schools, community organisations, and partners, Bridlington Seasider CIC ensures its work is aligned with local priorities and reaches those who would benefit most.
Overall, Bridlington Seasider CIC exists to create a more inclusive, connected, and active community where individuals of all backgrounds and abilities can participate, thrive, and feel valued.
