Achievements and performance
Background
The Quems estate is in the highest quanlize in the district for people in re￿Ipl of means tested
benefits with approximately 530A more claimants than neighbouring Spring Lane estate. Many
residents have never been in employment and this is likely to be 8 direct result of poor education and
allainmenl meaning fewer opportunities or lower paid jobs. Many of OLJr families struggle lo understand
complex forms relating lo benefi15, seeking employment and struggle to use a computer and the
internet. Drugs and alcohol are an ongoing issue within the area as is antlsocial behaviour which often
follows a cycle break.
Historically Querns Community Centre has been a community led project starting 20 years ago by a
small group of very dedicated residenls with the aim to improve people's opportunities. 11 has a proven
track record of engagement with the community and this has continLted from generation lo generation.
The Centre has always consulted with service users lo ensure th21 servi￿$ are appropriate across all
ages and has encouraged input in a variety of ways whether il has been through the committee,
specific events or work groups. This has led lo long term outcomes as the Centre responds lo the
people. This is proven by the longevity of many of our groups and the commitment from our volunteers.
2022 - 2023
Querns Community Centre had another busy year in 2022123, despite it being a difficult time for the
charity we have managed lo provide many activities, projects, and services for the local community.
There was an Easter fair, along with a SLtmmer fele and Christmas Bazaar as well as a community
coach trip to Brighton a trip lo the Panlo.
Our Switch group continued to meet weekly giving the children of the community opporkunity to meet in
a safe environment, having fun with their friends as well 2S taking part in a huge range of activities.
During the summer we held a very successful Let yourself shine project for our young people.
We have continued our work around food. As well as holding 4 weekly food share mornings we have
worked alongside the amazing Foodbank to ensure those in need are both referred and receive food
help quickly
During the year have p2rtnered on many projects including working with, Sl Martins and Sl Pauls
Church, Canterbury Foodb2nk, Morrisons elc. creating community engagement and quality services.
