Chair Persons Annual Report 2025 Welcome to our Annual General Meeting for 2025. We over the past year we have focused on community outreach, to offer further support to hard to reach residents. Through this we have further embedded ourselves as an integral part of our local community as a trusted hub of support. We had a tough start to the year in accessing funding with many funding amounts being reduced due to unprecedented demand however as we look to the coming 12 months we remain stable and secure, and on behalf of the Board, I would like to take this opportunity to express our gratitude to everybody involved. I would like to thank our funders for their support through the year in particular PH Holt, the Steve Morgan Foundation, The National Lottery, Sefton Council whose ongoing funding has been instrumental in ensuring our sustainability, as well as enabling us to offer crucial support services to our community. We celebrated our 30th Birthday as a Charity this year- milestone we are all very proud of. I woulld like to thank our staff, volunteers, community members, service users and my fellow trustees for their commitment and support for our charity over the years, I would like to thank all our visitors, learners, and the whole local community. We have done some amazing work with local children, whether its providing food and activities during school holidays, or the amazing Christmas with Santa days. All the group5 that attend our centre help make it what it is, a trusted hub of support for everyone in the community. I would also like to sincerely thank our volunteers whose support is invaluable as our centre continues to develop and adapt to meet to local need through these challenging times. l am also very grateful to my fellow Board colleagues, who committed substantial time and energy to Community By Nature during the past year.

CEOS Annual Report 2025 We celebrated our 30th Birthday as a Charity this year- marking the event with a summer party with the community, all our partners and supporters. Reaching this amazing milestone is testament to the hard work, determination and commitment from all staff. volunteers and trustees of our charity over the years. We look forward to the next 30 yearsl We faced a challenging start to the year financially with limited funding and reserves however with with hard work, determination and help from our partners and supporters we managed to rebuild and quickly get back on track. We continue thrive as a trusted community hub providing essential and critical support for the most vulnerable people in our community who are living in food and fuel poverty as the cost-of-living crisis continues. Our hol iday provision, play activities/trips out with a healthy meal for local vulnerable child ren has been hugely successful with families reporting this as a lifeline as they struggle to afford food a nd activities for thei r children in the holidays. Given the ongoing prevalence of food and experiential poverty for children in our neighbourhood, we have continued our increased offer of afterschool play and youth provision, facilitating activities, trips out and a healthy meal on additional term time eveni ngs and weekends. We continue to facilitate our weekly welcome space sessions offering wellbeing workshops mindfulne5s/meditation, gentle exercise, advice keeping warm/reducinE bills and nutricioijs lunches for adultcommunity members. We continue to offer an ongoing range of community activities including community learning programmes, Social groups for residents experincing loneilness and isoation and struggling with mental health, large family events, afterschool clubs, youth groups, residentials, parent and toddlergroups, social group for young adult5 Wlth disabilities to develop skills and build in confidence and resilience. Given the current financial climate and demand we continue to find funding more scarce and increasingly diff icult to access. This year we received funding from PH Holt, the Steve Morgan Foundation, Burbo Bank, Lottery, Sefton Council, Violence Reduction Partnership for our community activity for all ages. All these funding streams are invaluable to us. Following the release of our UMU research report demonstrating the significant impact our forest school/outdoor learning projects have on young peoples, confidencelresilience, aspirations and life chances, we have seen a huge increase in demand for our forest school provsion and training which is a valuable source of income. I would like to thank all our staff and volunteers for their hard work over the pastyear and for remaining committed and focused in challenging times. I would like to thank our committee for their valued advice and support over the past 12 months. We sadly lost two valued committee members and friends this year- John Webb and Rita Knight. This is a huge10s5 to our Charity and to us all personally. Their committment, hard work and advice and friendship is missed by us all every day, Embedded in the heart of the local community our community centre is a hive of activity and e55ential support which is hugely valued, respected and trusted by community members of all ages. We look at the future with optimism and enthusiasm a5 we expand our services and our reach. Kate Jameson- CEO.
