What is SHYNNE?
SHYNNE CIC is a community-focused social enterprise created to bring people together through connection, creativity, and support.
We design inclusive spaces, events, and initiatives that support parents, families, and individuals, especially those who may feel isolated or overlooked.

SHYNNE is for:
• Parents and carers
• Families looking for connection and support

You don’t need to “fit a box” if you value kindness and connection, you’re welcome here.

That means we operate like a business, but any profit is reinvested back into the community, not shareholders.

• Community and family-friendly events
• Parent and peer support spaces

Our projects evolve based on what the community actually needs, not what looks good on paper.
Do I need to pay to get involved?
