## **Introduction from the Chief Executive Officer, Rob Rolls.** 

As I write this report, it’s been a busy day again at Community Works.  We’ve had people dropping in to chat about job applications, their mental health, friends and family who need the Food Bank and even today we’ve had more people coming to give their time towards our work. 

Arriving into post just a few months ago, I was aware of Community Works, but only a little and this has been an exciting time as I have begun to get to grips with the needs and desires of this amazing charity.  Like many charities of our size, our daily finances are constantly on our minds and we continually balance the needs of local people, with our slender resources. 

In just a few months, I have seen that the hard work and compassion of our staff team, combined with the generosity of our team of volunteers is making a genuine difference to the lives of people in and around the Thirsk area.  I’m very grateful for this opportunity to be involved, and often humbled by the kindness I see in others. 

------------------------------------------------------------------------ 

For many of us, Thirsk is a lovely place to live.  It is a small market town in North Yorkshire, set in warm and friendly surroundings.  We’re becoming more and more of a tourist destination with our wide range of coffee shops, restaurants and places of interest. 

However there is a hidden side to Thirsk which represents many challenges. Thirsk can be an expensive place to live, whilst many people living here are on low incomes with few qualifications. Opportunities to change lifestyles are limited and therefore we know that our programmes are essential in supporting people to make positive, long lasting changes to their lives. 

Community Works has been a constant presence working amongst the more vulnerable people in Thirsk and the surrounding area for many years.  What makes us unique is that we very rarely turn people away.  Our depth of experience and knowledge of the local area and its available services is largely unparalleled, and so whether people come to us with a service that we are known for or not, we can often ‘signpost’ people and their families elsewhere if we can’t directly help. 


On average we help around 320 people each month, be they users of our foodbank, Women in crisis, individuals receiving key work support on filling in job application forms, older people, or even someone who receives food through our Meals on Wheels service. Each year Community Works helps to build resilience in our local communities through helping individuals in their deepest need. 

As a charity, we were still attempting to rediscover ourselves ‘post-Covid’ as we entered the new financial year.  Restrictions only became more fully lifted in May 2021, and we felt the continued impacts of this not just in our more visible services (Re-use store, Food Bank etc), but also in an uplift in those coming back out of their homes after the dark places that 

**2** 



Covid created.  The effects of the Pandemic will still be felt by Community Works long after it has finally left our headline news. 

## **Changing Lives** 

Our Changing Lives programme is funded by the Henry Smith charity and in this financial year, we continued to develop and progress. The programme of support has not only covered the Thirsk and surrounding areas but is now also supporting homeless veterans in the Catterick area who have a number personal difficulties that they are facing ranging from homelessness to PTSD. 

Since April 2021, the programme has supported 50 participants, resulting in 50 new CV’s been designed and 50 participants have accessed IAG support.  50 participants have received some form of TLC (Community Works’ own term for our key workers ‘checking in’ with their clients, encouraging them and offering further support).  Furthermore as a direct result of the Changing Lives programme, 22 participants have moved into employment, 2 have moved on to college and one participant is now studying on an Open University course. Our work with the client group is very varied and we have maintained an emphasis on building resilience in others.  Sixteen participants have gained vocational qualifications which has helped them within the work place, and we have even been able to send three clients onto an HGV driving course. We have helped 8 people move into their own properties, and 18 participants are still receiving regular one to one support 

## **Thriving at Work** 

The Thriving at Work project aims to bring about inclusive, accessible and healthy workplaces that increase productivity and create an environment where all employees can thrive. Since June 2021 the Thriving at Work project has supported 17 participants with a number of issues ranging from improving vocational qualifications to support completing CPD requirements and further help with their poor mental health.  Again we have some strong statistics for this project.  Six participants have moved into new jobs with more opportunities and overall better workplace conditions, with one person gaining a pay rise and promotion as a result of their improved confidence through engaging with our team.  A further seven people gained a vocational qualification and we still have eight people receiving one to one support. 

## **Catalyst** 

The Catalyst Project is a specialist service that provides support to women across Hambleton and Richmondshire.  Participants can access a combination of support and tailor it to their needs.  This includes Life Coaching, Women’s Wellbeing Groups and Mentoring. Between April 2021 and Mar 2022, over 48 women from across Hambleton & Richmondshire benefitted from attending weekly women’s support groups and individual Life Coaching sessions.  What we also know is that it’s not just the women that we work with that benefit from this input.  We know that the families of those involved are also positively impacted.  As Covid began to leave the headlines, it still presented challenges and uncertainty, but our staff and their flexibility enabled us to provide a much needed, reassuring, solid and secure form of support to those who were experiencing social isolation and mental ill health.  It has been a much repeated phrase amongst the women that the wellbeing support groups were the "the only thing that kept me going, knowing I could see and talk to others”. Others described the support they received as ‘a light in a dark tunnel’ and an ‘anchor’, providing hope, security, consistency at a time when life felt anything but. 

**3** 



As we entered 2022, the ‘She’s Ready’, programme was launched, and we were one of few organisations in the UK chosen to pilot a 5 month programme aimed at empowering women to become more socially and physically active in their communities and world. 

Many of our women became more physically active, and began volunteering and even took up virtual challenges.  One of our participants Trish, ‘virtually walked’ from Land’s End to John O Groats (1084 miles) whilst also raising funds for Community Works. 

Another lady’s story is particularly striking: _I came across a Community Works’ post on Facebook about a women’s group at the time my mental health was slipping due to many difficult life issues.  I became very anxious, scared and depressed and didn’t recognise myself.   I knew I had to get help, my family didn’t know what to do and I didn’t want to burden them with just how desperate I was feeling._ 

_I started to attend the Women’s group not really knowing what to expect or what they could do to help me. Little did I know that going there and being warmly welcomed by Community Works staff and the other group members would help me in ways I didn’t feel possible._ 

_My support worker started to call me every weekday, she was my lifeline and often the only source of contact for days on end. It was during a daily telephone call with my support worker, that I told her I felt I couldn’t go on. If it hadn’t been for her that day, I truly believe I wouldn’t be here today. The support I received made the impossible, possible and helped me find a way through._ 

_The ongoing support from the women’s group and 121’s were invaluable. I wasn’t a quick fix, I needed time and long-term support to help me to where I am today._ 

_Since having support I have come a very long way. I have managed to get back into the workplace, which was very important to me, I have grown stronger, become more confident and value myself more. I also met my very dear friend through the women’s group and we continue to support each other to this day._ 

## **Adult Sitting Service** 

We felt able to re-start the adult sitting service in July 2021, even though many people were still very nervous of contact. We put in place a robust procedure/ risk assessment for volunteers to undertake before having face to face contact with clients, including testing, mask wearing and keeping as much distance as was practical and realistic.  We found that Carers were pleased to be able to have just a short time of relaxation after such a long time. 

One lady simply thanked us for bringing the outside world to her husband and enabling her to relax and have lunch with a friend. 

Clients with Dementia had particularly struggled as the understanding of the situation was very difficult for them. Social distancing and wearing masks was difficult to achieve in a lot of cases.   In July of 2021 we managed to provide 48 hours of sitting support and we had 5 carers who were receiving regular phone calls of support and a listening ear from volunteers. 

We went on to make contact with more Carers on the phone throughout that time and in August and September we made well over 100 calls to Carers, simply catching up with them and seeing how they were doing. In terms of sitting support, between July and March when 

**4** 



the service resumed, we were able to provide more than 700 hours of sitting support which is a fabulous effort. 

## **Dementia Day Care** 

Our Day Care takes place at Orchid house three times a week.  Our Monday sessions are for clients who for all sorts of reasons can’t manage a longer day. 

Activities are planned to keep our clients busy and occupied and we give them as much stimulation and fun as we can. So we reminisce, we sing and dance sometimes, we paint, colour, sew, knit, do puzzles and play dominoes.  We have even used play dough, and sometime welcome visitors to deliver an activity such as our local Ukulele group.  We also provide a 2 course lunch, and more often than not there is some lovely conversation around the table. 


Most importantly, apart from keeping our friends with Dementia safe and allowing them to have fun, we look after them to give their regular carer a break, thereby keeping them in their own home for longer. 

Having enough volunteers and retaining them continues to be a priority as does keeping the client places available as much as possible. 

It’s always rewarding trying something you’re not really sure about and making it work and our clients are often full of surprises.  We have a gentleman who lives with his wife, has Alzheimer’s and very poor speech so conversation is very difficult. He is physically very fit, likes a walk. We have volunteer who pretty much every other week takes him out for a walk, but he comes to us on Tuesdays and Thursdays giving her time to socialise with friends, attend appointments or go 

shopping. 

## **Meals on Wheels** 

Our Meals on Wheels service continued to be a force for good in the local community, delivering hot fresh food to those who are either unable to make it themselves, or cannot leave the house to collect the ingredients to do so. 

## **Food Bank** 

During this period, our Food Bank continued to be of great value to the local community. The Food Bank was often a focal point of our work – Food Banks generally are well understood by those living in and around the area that they serve and again we were able to help vulnerable and needy families during this period.  The lessening of Covid restrictions helped us, and often the Food Bank would become people’s only ‘outing’ for the day.  We continued to use the Food Bank as a place where we referred people to other aspects of 

**5** 



our work, and often were able to spot that our friends using the Food Bank had other needs that we could perhaps help with as well. 


We also started to see differing trends in Food Bank use, with different people coming to collect parcels for the same family.  Our recording of data was streamlined during this period, enabling us to collate new information on those using this service.  Our Food Bank continues to be a real point of need for local families and individuals. 

## **Re:use Store** 

Finally our Re:use store became much busier and occupied after the restrictions were lifted during 2021 & 2022.  We are now able to provide an even broader range of furniture, electrical goods (all PAT tested before re-sale), beds, tables, chairs and even some white goods. We continue to be inspired and amazed by the kindness of local people, donating their goods to us so that we can help others. 

## Funders 

Community Works is grateful for following funding and partnerships during this period:
