## Who we are...
**Urban Partnership Group is committed to improving the health, wealth and well-being of individuals living and working in Hammersmith and Fulham and the surrounding areas, we believe there is something for everyone at the Urban Partnership Group.**
**Our purpose is to help transform the lives of the most disadvantaged and marginalised individuals in our community and empower them.**
## **A FEW WORDS FROM OUR CHAIR...**
_The cost-of-living crisis has put pressure on UPG's resources this year, adding to the challenges created by the pandemic and years of austerity measures._
_This is mirrored in most households in our community as we all grapple with increasing bills and more uncertainty. Team members and volunteers have frequently put their own concerns aside to provide services_
_which keep the community connected, healthy and happy. It isn't easy to do, but it makes a huge difference._
_The Board would like to thank you all, as well as UPG's funders and partners for your continued commitment and support._
## _**Kamini Sanghani – Chair**_
## **A FEW WORDS FROM OUR CEO...**
_In many ways the post Covid-19 pandemic has led to a new set of challenges. The cost-of-living crisis is causing hardship not only for our users but for staff, volunteers and the organisation. With little funding relief from government, and trusts and businesses struggling the outlook is bleak in the short term. A period of resilience and transition is required as we continue to serve our communities to the best of our ability._
_After 36 years as CEO for BNC and then UPG I am retiring, there is an excellent team to work with and I wish my successor every success. I would like to thank the Board, staff, volunteers, London Borough of Hammersmith & Fulham and all our funders for their continual support._
_**Andy Sharpe – CEO**_

## 2022 KEY ACHIEVEMENTS
## **MASBRO BROOK GREEN NURSERY**
## **It has been a fantastic year for Masbro Brook Green Nursery, over the summer we held several events in our woodland garden, highlights include our Eid picnic, Jubilee celebrations and end of year summer party for families.**
In the autumn we introduced a book library scheme and a coffee morning specifically for parents who have a child with a special educational need and/or disability. Both initiatives have been a huge success and have helped to strengthen relationships with our parents, provide information and advice and signpost families onto other specialist support services to help improve outcomes for children.
## **WELCOME DEPUTY MAYOR!**
In March Masbro Brook Green Nursery staff and children were delighted to welcome Deputy Mayor Daryl Brown. The Deputy Mayor spent time with staff and children and described the nursery as _**‘a wonderful place**_ ’. Impressed with our Woodland Garden and the range of activities children have access to the Deputy Mayor said visiting the nursery and seeing the children have so much fun was ‘ _**an absolute delight**_ ’ .
**OFSTEAD RATING**
In the spring term we received a ‘ **GOOD** ’ Ofsted rating, the team were absolutely delighted. The inspection highlighted how happy children are, how they benefit from an ambitious and varied curriculum and how welcoming, nurturing and supportive the staff are to help children feel safe and confident for the next stage of their learning.
The inspector was particularly impressed with how well we support children who have additional needs.

## 2022 KEY **MASBRO ELDERS PROJECT** ACHIEVEMENTS
**New partnerships have led to some exciting collaborations and co-productions for Masbro Elders. Our wellbeing projects at Chiswick House and Gardens were a great success and in conjunction with Mind Food. We held a series of sessions on gardening, planting, harvesting and preserving which yielded some insightful sharing of remedies, recipes and culinary delights from around the world.**
Outings and visits have continued to be popular, this year we visited the V&A museum, the Wallace Collection at Hertford House and took a boat trip down to Greenwich to explore the Old Royal Naval College and the delights of the Painted Hall. The annual summer trip to Hastings saw elders enjoy fish and chips at Maggie's on the beach front, followed by a wander through the Old Town and a trip up the funicular railway for a view from the cliff top. We concluded the summer with a Garden Party, a lively Afternoon Tea with live music at Ham House in Richmond.
## **INFORMATION & SUPPORT**
Our elders have continued to access information and advice sessions, particularly in relation to benefit entitlements, housing issues, rise in energy bills and the cost-of-living crisis.
Our volunteer led befriending service has continued to support frail isolated housebound elders with weekly visits to offer companionship, a walk to the park, shops or a coffee in a local café.
With difficult times ahead we anticipate more elders requiring support and are keen to recruit new volunteers in 2023.
## 2022 KEY **CONFIDENT PARENT HAPPY CHILD** ACHIEVEMENTS
## **Confident Parent Happy Child continues to provide evidence-based parenting programmes across Hammersmith and Fulham and has successfully supported 121 parents complete a programme.**
In the spring we took part in the Together Study lead by University College London in partnership with Race Equality Foundation. The aim of the study was to evaluate the effectiveness of the 13-week Strengthening Families Strengthening Communities programme and whether it improves the mental wellbeing of parents and their children.
Our team of highly skilled Parenting Craft Practitioners are vital to programme delivery, they bring knowledge, understanding and experience, and help create a safe and positive learning environment for parents and carers. This year 6 new volunteer parenting craft practitioners have been identified and look forward to supporting them gain their accreditation and deliver a programme in 2023.
In July over 20 families enjoyed a day out at Kew Gardens through their Community Open Week initiative. It was a great opportunity for families to come together, have a fun day out and take part in a range of activities and workshops.
## 2022 KEY ACHIEVEMENTS
## **MASBRO YOUTH CLUB**
**It has been a great year for the Masbro Youth Club, membership has continued to grow, and the club has delivered 196 face-to-face sessions. Young people have engaged in open access club sessions, halfterm 'Fit n Fed' programmes and targeted project work.**
Successful projects to address new and emerging support needs include our Good 4 Girls programme, a sports development research project and initiatives in partnership with MIND, Gloves not Gunz and QPR FC in the Community.
Successes within the team include one of our youth workers securing representation on the London Youth Board and our youth committee lead undertaking peer research with the Youth Council and Young Hammersmith and Fulham Foundation.
## **YOUTH CLUB 5 WEEK SUMMER HOLIDAY PROGRAMME**
By securing additional funding the club was able to host a remarkable 5-week summer holiday programme. Our tried and tested 'fit and fed' programme was a huge success, young people took part in engaging physical activities and were provided with a healthy nutritious hot meal each day.
Additional activities included offsite trips to the Copper Box, Southend on Sea, and Snow Camp. Young people also enjoyed paddle boarding, bike riding and go karting. The programme concluded with a 4-day residential for 21 senior members.
## 2022 KEY ACHIEVEMENTS
## **ADULT LEARNING PROGRAMME**
**‘** I really enjoy the class, it's the only time in the week I get for me. **’**
**Learners have continued to access Functional Skills, Maths and ICT classes from entry level to level 2. Most of our learners continue to be refugees seeking asylum or are individuals who have been granted indefinite leave to remain and are skilled professionals in their native countries.**
The adult learning programme has delivered over 260 face-to-face classes, with quality crèche provision for children under 5 years of age as without childcare many of our learners would not be able to attend.
In the spring we welcomed two new teaching staff and a new programme manager. Tutors have worked with learners to develop individual learning plans and through the course of the year have used a variety of methods and approached to keep learners engaged enabling them to meet their learning goal. Through attending classes and gaining a qualification learners have been able to enrol onto another courses, secure voluntary and paid work. For several learners gaining a qualification has helped them more confident about helping their child with schoolwork and attending meetings at their child's school.

## 2022 KEY **COMMUNITY & MATERNITY CHAMPIONS** ACHIEVEMENTS

Elders and families have reported the food parcels and personalised packages are invaluable, they enable them to have warm healthy, nourishing meals each week and take care of themselves and their family.

## 2022 KEY ACHIEVEMENTS
## **SUSTAINABILITY CHAMPIONS**
A series of workshops led by local experts have been held to discuss topics such as energy-saving hacks, greener transport solutions, the benefits of upcycling, herbal medicines and urban foraging. Summer taster sessions helped participants and their friends and families experience how to put knowledge into action, some participants rode a bicycle for the first time whilst others learned how to reduce food waste and save money!
**The Sustainability Champions pilot project helps people link local action to improve their community’s wellness and reduce the impact of climate change. This year the project has hosted networking meetings to raise awareness of the amazing community work that already takes place across the borough, and how improving people’s quality of life has a direct positive effect on their local environment.**
Community-led approaches and local expertise bring people together and strengthen community resilience. Becoming a Sustainability Champion gives a voice to communities that are most likely to be negatively affected by the impact of climate change.
## 2022 KEY **MENTAL HEALTH FIRST AID (MHFA) ENGLAND COURSES** ACHIEVEMENTS
**We all have mental health and good mental health helps us deal with the challenges life presents. Sadly, more than 1 in 4 people in England experience a mental health problem each year, and this number increases for women, young adults, and people living alone.**
UPG's Community Champions projects have embedded tackling poor mental health across all health and wellbeing services, building resilience and challenging inequalities is key to our approach. This year, UPG’s Instructor Members approved to deliver 2-day Mental Health First Aid courses successfully trained 50 individuals across Hammersmith and Fulham. More courses are scheduled for 2023. The aim is to develop a network of accredited Mental Health First Aiders to better support our local communities, particularly those from ethnic minority backgrounds.
## FUTURE PLANS for 2023 and beyond...
**After a difficult couple of years we are looking to rebuild on the resilience we have shown in the past couple of years. Our key growth areas continue to be:**
## ❤
**FAMILY HUBS –** establishing family hubs across our centres will put children and young people first. Our hubs would provide a central access point for integrated services for families. This would enable families to make the most of all that UPG and its strategic partners have to offer.
**GREENER SERVICE INFRASTRUCTURE –** ensuring we are matching the Councils ambition to be Carbon Neutral by 2030. This will mean we continue to monitor and adapt services and premises so we can do things better and reduce our impact on the environment and its precious resources. We will also support the community to make the changes necessary to play their part too.
**HEALTH AND WELLBEING –** we aim to develop more effective self care networks supporting health and social care initiatives, alleviating social isolation and promoting self care initiatives and tackling the cost of living crisis.
**HOLISTIC SOLUTIONS PROVIDING OPPORTUNITIES FOR ALL –** Whether it be through technology changes and patterns of working, opening up new avenues of communication and service delivery, UPG is showing flexibility and creativity in providing inclusive services to all.
## Volunteering at UPG...
##
## **Volunteering is at the heart of the Urban Partnership Group, the contribution our volunteers make to the lives of individuals and the local community is vital.**
