Summary ofthe main
achievements
ofthe charity
during the year
We try to continue to grow each year and this year, more than ever st
marks has aimed to provide a focal point forthe local community
of
Millfield, where they can feel a part ofand offera multipurpose
centre run
by and forthe whole community.
This year has been difficult with lock
down restrictions
in place We have improved the facilities at the centre
with conference rooms available, a new kitchen and coffee bar facility for
the community
toaccess.
We continuously
work with other local organisations
the local council and
police teams to try and offer as much aswe can to help make the Millfield
a closer and better community
to live in. Our management
committee
is
totally
run by local people, so helping
make decisions which enhance the
facilities and programs
we can offer. We also try to make cost no issue
by providing free activities,
and some with a small minimal feeso open to
all. We are situated
in an area of high depravation
with many families on
low incomes and benefits, we still have over 85%ofhouseholds
who don' t
have access to a garden for children
to play. We are always here to listen
to what local people want, this is the most important
thing
in helping to
bring the community
together.
With Sunderland
being stated as one ofthe most unhealthiest
cities in
the UK, we do try to aim to help improve the health
styles oflocal people,
By providing
fitness classes, free outdoor space, fitness room and
information
on healthy
eating
we hope we can help address
this and help
local people live healthier
and more active lifestyles.
The manager
has now been here 13years, and is also a local person
who has the passion
to improve the facility each year to make it an even
more attractive and beneficial to the whole community.
The manager
also
continues
to work closely with local people and organisations
so we can
maximise the amount oflocal people we are reaching.
The last year has been difficult foreveryone
not just our country
but the
whole world. Due to the emergence
ofCOV 19our lives have changed
dramatically.
St marks has tried to offer as much support as possible,
with volunteers
and staff we have reached out to the local community
offering help and advice via phone support,
and online chat rooms. We
have helped
local older people with shopping,
as well as, just chatting so
local people don't feel isolated.
Throughout
the last year we have worked
with partner
organisations
to help local people
through
these difficult
times. Like all organisations,
business etc.the financial side has been
affected due to severe loss of income. We have managed
to get help
from government
and local council via grants to get through
this difficult
year. We hope next year things
will start to improve, we feel the
community
will need us even more, so we aim to deliver even more
opportunities
for local people toaccess resources to bring the community
even closer together.
