DEMRP Trustees Report 2021

DEMRP has like most charities diversified in the way it delivers focused social and economic regeneration activities and education, training and employment skill opportunities to BAME and disadvantaged, low income families and the hard to reach communities

Despite being a medium size voluntary and community sector organisation we take a larger role in delivering services locally through partnerships with the National Lottery Community Fund, the Good Things Foundation and the Local Authority DMBC as DEMRP continues to develop progression routes from non-accredited to accredited skills training, Health & Wellbeing activities, ESOL Language and Integration support and community capacity building provision targeting the most vulnerable and deprived marginalised communities.

During 2020/21 DEMRP received funding development support from the National Lottery Community Fund, Good Things Foundation, and DMBC (Local Authority) to provide Drop-in information, advice & guidance, ESOL and Secure English Language Test preparation courses, assist with preparing Applications to the Home Office and deliver employability training and Health & wellbeing activities. food bank and physical & mental wellbeing support services to over 1,900 BAME and local disadvantaged communities, without their support it would not have been possible to continue to deliver our services.

The COVID 19 Pandemic has had a major impact in the confidence and health of the community at large and the users of our services particularly the BAME community as barriers such as language, limited translated information & advice and shortage of access to cultural sensitive food provision while on lockdown, high tier levels and or shielding which presented additional barriers, however DEMRP coordinated volunteers to deliver food, household & hygiene and vital Personal Protection Equipment to vulnerable groups and befriend isolated individuals.

DEMRP has been widening its online service delivery and the use of media to address restrictions placed by the pandemic safeguarding regulations and worked towards making the centre COVID secure for the ongoing future of delivery of our services. DEMRP work was recognised by the National ‘2021 Census Purple Plaque Award’ for the community services it provided throughout the pandemic lockdowns.

DEMRP continues to maintain working with the local community, partners and other general and specialist infrastructure organisations to ensure that we continue to deliver high quality of education, employment, health & wellbeing community development and training opportunities to encourage BAME learners to make informed choices and DEMRP widening participation agenda.

We hope that this report gives a good flavour of the continued work of the organisation in exceptional circumstances last year, and the significant contribution that the DEMRP and its staff / volunteers makes to building the capacity of the VCS in Doncaster and in the sub region, and ultimately improving the quality of life for local residents of Doncaster. We have successfully completed the financial year 2020/21 in a position which has enabled us to continue our work due to ongoing support from the National Lottery Community Fund.

In addition to our core aims and objectives, we set out to achieve the following:

1. Wider access to our online training and support programmes in order to attract a wider range of learners / users from local neighborhood individuals, groups and organisations

2. To ensure that our outreaching is targeted more marginalised groups that have not previously taken up training, development activities and integration opportunities in the past and find ways of ensuring individual participants’ skills’ and other needs can be addressed.

3. To actively seek and develop new partnerships that could facilitate access to the resources necessary to help us to be more proactive in responding to the community development, learning and employability skill needs of Doncaster and the surrounding area.

4. To apply different accreditation and progression routes that could utilise the courses that we run, so that learners have the wider choices of gaining qualification ‘round off’ their learning through a process of reflection that they then receive accreditation for.

5. To continue to develop and increase safe and secure capacity to work in partnership more effectively so as to increase the organisations sustainability
