The Chiswick Calendar CIC is a not for profit company which exists to provide benefit to the people who live in, work in, or visit Chiswick in west London’s W4 area.The Chiswick Calendar website, www.thechiswickcalendar.co.uk, is a community resource which we describe as ‘a celebration of life in Chiswick’. It provides a page per day calendar of events listings of all that’s going on culturally and socially, for free. In doing so, we promote the work of more than a hundred charities, community groups and social enterprises locally and organisations which are too small to pay for promotion otherwise. We have a Club Card scheme which supports local independent businesses by encouraging people to spend their money locally. We also feature the work of local photographers on the website and put on our own event, which include a photography and an art exhibition featuring the work of local artists.During the financial year 2020-2021, the company’s activities have benefited the community in the following ways: We became primarily a news site, with a specific Covid section to keep people up to date with local news about where to get food, who was providing delivery services, which shops and other businesses were open when, whether restaurants were providing takeaway, which pubs had outside seating areas, whether post offices were open etc. As time went on it became more about where and when people could get vaccinations and boosters.We launched a ‘Buy us a cup of coffee’ initiative as we lost all our advertising and Club Card membership income from businesses for a while. This has given us a small, regular income and elicited some lovely comments from our subscribers who have really appreciated what we do for the community.The company has continued to give opportunities to young people wanting their first experience of working in the media. We had a software development graduate working with us as an intern, who had become a freelance, working regularly with us and we have been able to introduce him to several other clients.When we were able to, we held Jazz events at the George IV pub, making top quality musicians available for people to see locally and cheaply. We have quite a few people who are retired and on a fixed income who come to our Jazz nights. We now do this weekly rather than just monthly.The first pandemic lockdown in late March 2020 necessitated the postponement of live events but we continued to update the website and distribute the weekly newsletter. We went to two newsletters a week throughout the first lockdown. We have now gone back to one a week. We set up an area of the website also to help people looking for something to do at home – Online things to do instead of in person things to do.
The CICs stakeholders are its members. We interact with them all the time by email. They give us information to add to the newsletter and the website. In person also at our annual Chiswick Calendar party, an informal kind of AGM with a live jazz band, which we use to update the community on what we’re doing. We held this in January 2020 but cancelled it in 2021. At the event in 2020 we continued the Community Awards for people who had given their time to do something good for the community.
