Community Interest Statement

*******Mission Statement:*********

Back2Basicz is a registered Community Interest Company (CIC) dedicated to empowering families with disabled parents, particularly those with autistic children, through sustainable agricultural initiatives and community engagement. Our goal is to provide innovative, hands-on business opportunities that promote self-sufficiency, foster a supportive community, and create inclusive environments where families can thrive.

Vision:
We envision a nurturing community where families facing unique challenges can gain economic independence while living harmoniously with nature and contributing to local food systems. By providing the blueprint for community egg farming and similar initiatives, we aim to inspire and support families across the UK, making entrepreneurship accessible for all.

Objectives:
1. Empowerment through Entrepreneurship: Provide disabled parents of autistic children with the training, resources, and support necessary to run a successful small business, starting with a community egg farm.
  
2. Promote Inclusivity: Create an inclusive environment where families can live on-site in static caravans while managing their business, allowing them to nurture their entrepreneurial spirit alongside their families.
  
3. Sustainability and Education: Encourage sustainable agricultural practices through hands-on education and workshops, promoting a deeper understanding of food production, environmental stewardship, and healthy living.
  
4. Community Building: Foster a sense of belonging and community by encouraging collaboration, resource sharing, and mutual support among families participating in our initiatives.
  
5. Expansion of the Model: 

Document, evaluate, and share our business model and success stories with other communities, inspiring them to adopt similar initiatives to benefit families facing similar circumstances.

Community Benefit:
Back2Basicz is committed to enhancing the quality of life for families with disabled parents and autistic children in Somerset and beyond. By providing these families with the tools, knowledge, and a supportive network, we aim to reduce social isolation, improve mental health, and promote economic resilience. Our initiative strives to inspire other communities to develop similar models, amplifying the impact we can have.

Together, we can create a community where every family has the opportunity to thrive, embracing both the challenges they face and the possibilities of entrepreneurial success.
