e Safe community play space for young children to explore and
develop in together with other children, which was of particular
importance for this cohort of children as some of the children were
‘COVID babies’ having spent their first year or two in various
lockdowns and restrictions and had previously had little to no
opportunity to meet other people nor explore the world away from
their immediate families and homes (often flats without gardens).

Summary of the main .
a ie chan OUTCOMES FOR CHILDREN AND FAMILIES
0-4 year olds, improvements were achieved in the following:
° More secure attachment with primary carer and positive relationships
with family
° Improved attendance at early years’ settings e.g ‘Stay and Play’
sessions / nursery classes which in turn will promoted / improved social
development.
° Mental Health of parents supported / maintained. This was critical
work post pandemic and into a cost of living crisis and has continued to bea
focus. Our parents experience isolation and loneliness, along with anxiety / low
mood depression, with a history of childhood trauma in most cases. The
pandemic and now cost of living crisis is having a significant impact on mental
health. Much time and increased support levels were needed to support the
parents mental health and benefit the children as a result. The Garden Activity
sessions and more recently the introduction of our Family Wellbeing Hub have
been an invaluable extension and progression of this support, often still being
the main social interaction the families had outside their own homes.
Families were supported with a range of difficulties acting as barriers to meeting
their children’s holistic needs. These included:
Housing and issues of poverty / financial hardship
Mental Health difficulties (mainly anxiety and depression)
Isolation (social and economic) and the impact of this on parenting
and the rest of the family
Relationships between parent(s) and the children. Play and quality
time
Relationships between adults in the home
Siblings were also supported with understanding their emotions, expressing
themselves non aggressively and enjoying the family more, thus becoming
happier and more secure and stable.
MENTAL WELLBEING
----- End of picture text -----

----- Start of picture text -----
Mental well-being of parents continued to be a high priority to achieve positive
outcomes for the children. High levels of contact with parents to support them
mentally as episodes of anxiety and low mood / depression affected them — and
their children.
Also supporting the families to manage life during a time of such insecurity and
lack of stability caused by the pandemic, followed now bya cost of living crisis.
Links with local food banks and food pantries, as well as raising funds to open
our Family Wellbeing Hub has enabled families to keep warm, prevent
worsening / improving mental wellbeing and the children to develop.
Additional funds raised enabled us to provide items for families such as blow
heaters, heated blankets, clothes airers, Christmas parcels and wellbeing ‘pick
me up’ items for parents such as face packs, candles, socks, nail varnishes and
so on (distributed fortnightly in the Hub).
Our links with Hesters Way Knit & Knatter group enabled families to make
individual requests for donated knitted / crotched items to help through winter.
These included blankets, along with clothing items such as hats, scarves

We placed significant focus during the spring and summer prior to
commencement of school ensuring that families were aware of the stepping

possible, that children are enrolled and attend nurseries to improve
socialisation, speech and reduce separation anxiety.

Monkscroft Pastoral Care Project Financial Report For the Year ending 31 August 2023

During the year the Project continued to enjoy the support of The Peter Lang Children's Trust. Additionally during the year, the Project secured additional funding from Gloucestershire Community Foundation Cost of Living Fund, NHS Integrated Care Board (via The Bamwood Trust) and Cheltenham Borough Council Health and Wellbeing Fund

There has been no significant fund raising activity this year.

Due to the focus on service delivery, the main expenses of the Project are salaries for Project Workers and staffing the wellbeing hub groups. The project has some facilities’ running costs (mostly insurance and telephony/communications) and expenditure on professional fees (payroll services, pension fees). Other expenditure in the financial year included the provision of food for families and children via the Wellbeing hub group sessions and some consumable items for activities.

During the year a historic loan between the Charity's sub-funds was settled.
