Paga 3 Queen's Crescent Community Association The report of the trustees For Ihe year ended 31 March 2021 Chalrfs Report QCCA has alway5 been al the heart of the Gospel Oak community, but over the coronavirus pandemic. it has been the eye of the hurricane. The staff have all performed outstandingly, enduring challenging conditions for many months. QCCA decided not lo shutter all ils seNices, and this has proved to be a lrfeline for $0 many. This has tested everyone, from staff lo the voluntsers who slepped in to bring hopè in a lime of uncertainty and f8ar. The community cenlre's new8sI and mst unèxpected function was repurposing its central hall as a food bank and food delivery hub. Thls has never been a QCCA servlce. much less a core purpose, bul it has been a great success as a temporary measure in desperate clrcumslances. Hundreds of people have been served. week on week, many accèssing QCCA for the first lim8. As we move out of Ihe initial emergency, one of the challenges will be winding down these interim services with what is forecast lo be more reductions in availablè funding sources. QCCA has also boen proactive and inrsovative In pres&Nlng as many activities as posslble, either by socially distancing exercise programmes or taking its offers online. There has never been such a widespread requirement for advice and guidanee, and QCCA has delivered over hvo hundred sessions. Alongside the emergency work, more normal work continues. QCCA'S partnership with GOALYC has been slr6ngih8nèd and further foimalised. QCCA conllnues lo make its case in Camden's regèneration plan for Gospel Oak. In other words. once this gi9anlic, one-time weather system of a h8allh emergency moves off, QCCA will still be here, planning for the future and remarkably beltèr placed than ever lo lake on all comers.

The pandemic forced us lo suspend our usual programmes. bul not our work. We developed Fi9hl C- 19, an emergency service thal responded to people's changing needs and was the only organisation of our kind in the area that never closed. at started as a way of delivering food. medicines and befriending to our most vulnerable older members became available to everyone. The scale of our services meant we were Camden Council's lead referral partner in the area. We worked with Camden and the local NHS as a vaccination and lateral flow testing ￿ntre by the end of the year. Food Servite8 QCCA'S fwd service has been the backbone of this years work. We provided 62.265 meal or meal equivalents in hyelve months, supporting al least 662 people with food. Al tts height, we were delivering Par￿lS three times a week. The deGi$ion to provide food for the first time in QCCA'S history was taken to meet local demand. Older people lold us that they didn't know how they were going lo shop when they were meant to be shielding. It quickly became apparent that others also needed help, including those with underlying health conditions and families struggling io feed children wrthout f￿e school meals. Within a few days, we had set up a small food bank in our main hall. Initially. it was run by QCCA staff and programme managers who could not fulfil their usual roles due to lockdown. However, as demand grew, a bank of 130 amazing volunteers was also r￿rUited. We were also collecting medicine for those in need. Funding was provided by generou$ trusts. individual donors and Camden CoLfncil. We forged relationships with food donation charities to supplement what we bought ftf*m cash and carry. In April. we launched a second strand to our ft)od seN1￿. giving away hot'lftar for All. meals daily from outside the centre. Initially intended as a project for Ramadan. the meals proved so popular with non-muslirrts and Muslims that we continued it first as'supper For All, and18ler'Lockdown Lunch,. At ils height, we wefe distributing 750 meals a week. Because we allowed people lo take what they needed without question. We supported many hard-to-reach communities. including the homeless and those with mental health ar¢d addiction issues. The simple act of queuing for food lalbeit al a distsncel a150 became a so¢i81 focus for people during the darkest days of lockdown. 98¥0 of recipients said QCCA was the only organisation giving them support. 54% said they were getting no support from family. friends or careT5 either. In another'fitsf, we launched a Christmas appeal to provide 'Christmas For All. hampers in December. People were incredibly generous and donated over £5000 to our Just Giving crowdfunding page. wth another £5000 fundraised by nearby St Martin's Church. 366 households received colourfijl boxes of food. treats and toys. including many asylum-seeking families experiencing their first UK Christsmas in a Kentish Town hostel.

With their usual support setvices either suspended or accessible only by inlernel or phone, QCCA ftjndraised for extra resources to offer support Emergency funding from the National Lottery allowed us to run advice. guidance and advocacy from September 2020 to March 2021. Sessions were held al the centre whenever possible or by phone and Zoom when it wasn't. In emergencies, people without phones or the internel could come for socially- distanTrd appointments on chairs outside the centre. The advice was offered in several communty languages, from our own advice worker Khadijah and the BAME women's charity, Hop5eotch, who we hosted at our building. In total, 380h of appointments were conducted in a language other than English. People's situat¢ons were complex and multiple. but housing emerged as the main cOn￿M {33%1. followed by benefits121°hl, debt and immigration {16°10 each). It was satisfying to see gains both small and large. We advocated with councils, GPS and hospitals lo gel radiators fixed secure vaccinations and podialry appointments. We succe55fully applied to charities for individual hardship grants. Twenty-four clients were triaged lo referral partners. including three to debt councillors and seven lo solicitors.

The Dome building on Weedington Road was chosen because of QCCA'S good links with the local black and minority ethnic communities. At the start of 2021, Camden Council found that only 5890 of the black community were vaccinated compared lo 85% of while British people. By using us as an outreach rEntre. they hoped lo increase that number. We promoted the se￿iceS with exiensive local PR and even received a video of support from Sir Lenny Henry. The lateral flow test centre opersed in February, offering a pre-booked and walk-in service. In February and March alone, il processed 1061 lesls. The first of our oneknoff vaccination days on 23rd March saw 111 people getting the jab. including communty leaders from Christian. Muslim and Jewish faiths.

Page no 9 Queen's Crescent Community Association The report of the trustees for the year ended 31 March 2021 Older P¢ople's Services INhen government lockdown meant we had lo suspend our usual Forever Young activities. we found new ways of giving older people the support they needed. Many were shielding and scared of getting ill. cut off from friends and family, unable to buy f¢xJd or access medical services. Loneliness was affecting mental health. Within days of lockdown. we provided food parcel and hol meal deliveries, a prescripb'on pick-up seNice and telephone befriending. This quickly developed into our Fight C-19 emergency programme for the whole Community, but the over 60's remained at the heart of what we did. We conservatively supported over 300 older peopEe across the year. many several times a week. 410 of our new users were older people. For the first few months of the pandemic, 40 older members were getting at least one phone call week from older people's services coordinator Mary Pier￿ and her team of 20 volunteers. This was a vital lifeline for them and an important way for us lo make sure they were well. Because of the scope of our service, we saw a significant increase in referrals from external partners such as Age UK Camden and Camden adult social services. The Hampslead Wells and Campden Trust funded us to directly support 30 of their pensioners. By earfy summer. we were able to re-start some of our usual activities on Zoom. This included chair- based exercises and sessions with our drama group, which was subsequently invited lo produce work for the Greater London Authority and Mayor of London's prestigious online St. Patrick's Celebration. en lockdown rules allowed, we invited people back to the centre in groups of six, continuing lo stream classes online for people 8t home. Our BAME older people's gardening project'Azmal's Garden, went from strength to strength as lockdown eased. with the second group of young Bangladeshi mums learning gardening from their elders. Our fvlure work with older people will continue to address the issues left by Covid-19. A survey of 115 older members in December 2020 told us that the pandemic had left them feeling more isolated 146%}, more anxious {40%1 and less fil153%1. Many have also lost the confidence to go out again, despite double vaccinations. Group activities and exercise a￿ a high prv)rity going forward as is support for depression.

But by temporarily merging the into the Holly L¢)Jge site during the early days of Covid-19, we were able to support the chIld￿n of key workers all the way Ihrough, except for a few weeks when government regulations closed all nurseries. The temporary joint-working also meant we could offer places to children attending Le Jardin des Dyvrande Bilingual, a French nursery that rents space in QCCA'S main building.

After an initial peri¢)d where only key worker children were allowed back in person, the nursery re- opened in stages to all pupils from Jun& 2020. In total, 35 pupils were enrolled across the year. Parent engagewnent became especially important al a lime of such uncert8inty- Staff shared detsileé weekly lesson plans with families and tried to be available lo answer quesb'ons and concerns.

Alongside the creative and collaborative thinking, staff have maintsined a solid focus on basics. Maths. literacy and community have been a priority for children making the transition into Reeeption during a difficult time. And with lockdown exacerbating issues for some, individual education plans for those children who required one-to-one support became more important than ever.
