Section C Objectives and activities

Diyya exists for the public benefit. Our core aims are to:

  1. Promote social inclusion

We support individuals — particularly women and their families in Lye and the surrounding areas — who may experience social exclusion due to gender, race, ethnicity, or other barriers. We help prevent isolation, address the needs of those already affected, and support them to build confidence, connections, and a sense of belonging within society.

  1. Improve wellbeing and quality of life

We provide and support access to safe, inclusive and culturally sensitive spaces and activities that promote recreation, learning, community engagement, and emotional and physical wellbeing. Our purpose is to enhance quality of life, strengthen community participation, and create positive opportunities for individuals and families.

What We Do

To achieve our objectives, we deliver a range of activities including (but not limited to):

Summary of the objects of the charity set out in its governing document

All activities are designed to remove barriers, empower individuals, and strengthen community cohesion and resilience.

Activity 1 - Girls Connect Group

The aim of this project is to provide a warm, safe and friendly space for our youth, outside of the school environment.

Encouraging them to better connect with themselves and the community and contribute positively back into society.

To support them through the many challenges that they face today e.g mental health & wellbeing, suicide, drug abuse, peer pressure, bullying, overload of social media etc.

Activities include; cooking, baking, knitting, arts & crafts, general debates, sports games and outdoor pursuits.

Through engaging with the above activities, the youth are building up their confidence & self-esteem, learning new skills, volunteering, fundraising, developing their communicational, organisational and leadership skills and actively participating in community events.

Activity 2- Saheli Sessions (senior citizens club)

This project is delivered on a weekly basis and was initially launched just after the Covid pandemic, to tackle issues such as fear, bereavement, loneliness and poor health. It focuses on providing support for the forgotten gems of our community, our senior citizens.

The group consists of 25 plus members and the activities range from; pampering, cooking, exercise, gardening, swimming and outdoor pursuits.

Benefits include: Members feel less isolated & lonely. Have made new friends.

More information about community activities they could get involved in. Increase in confidence and skills. Improvement on health and wellbeing. Feeling empowered, independent, happier and healthier.

Activity 3 – Language support / ESOL

In collaboration with Halesowen College, we were able to successfully deliver Esol, basic English and I.T classes at our local Community Centre. It was vital that we were able to facilitate for these educational classes at a local and easily accessible venue. Common causes and barriers for the poor levels of education within our area and especially amongst women include; cultural restrictions, childcare, financial issues, domestically related problems, low confidence and self esteem, travel/distance.

We were very pleased to have succeeded in the discussions with our local college and successfully delivered Esol at our local community centre.

Benefits include: Self empowerment Independence Career & employment opportunities Financial sustainability & stability Self worthy Improved communicational skills Confidence to integrate

Activity 4 - Community Allotments

Our allotment sessions provide a peaceful outdoor space for women and families to grow food, build connection with nature, support mental and physical wellbeing, and develop practical gardening skills.

We also work in collaboration with local mental health and wellbeing services to deliver awareness sessions on topics including:

Section D Achievements and performance

Summary of the main achievements of the charity during the year

One of our proudest achievements has been the successful development of our outdoor community space. Inspired by Hawbush Gardens and delivered in collaboration with the Lye Allotment Society, we secured several unused allotment plots which had been dormant for many years. A significant amount of time, effort, and physical work was required to restore and transform the land. Thanks to the hard work, commitment and dedication of our staff, volunteers, and local residents, the area has now been completely revitalised into vibrant and productive green spaces. More than 80 members, along with a number of community groups, now regularly access our allotments. They use the space to enjoy the outdoors, connect with nature, grow their own produce, build confidence, gain a sense of achievement, and improve both their physical and mental health and wellbeing. This development means we can now offer services not only at our centre but also in a safe and accessible outdoor setting within the local community. The allotments have created new opportunities for learning, connection, therapeutic activity, and intergenerational engagement.For the first time, we have also secured additional funding to install toilet facilities on site — an essential resource that will ensure all plot holders and participants can use and enjoy the space fully and comfortably. We are honoured and humbled to have been nominated for the Dudley CVS Community Awards 2025 and for The King’s Award for Voluntary Service in recognition of our work. This represents an important acknowledgement of our commitment, dedication, and the positive impact we strive to make in our community.
