ANNUAL REPORT 2022 (• Proiertcplt 11112',,q Projectcolt Changing lives for good
INTRODUCTION
This year is one that I view with extraordinary gratitude and appreciation for a remarkable team of staff and volunteers who have successfully navigated immense workplace problems alongside sometimes personal ones. Despite this they have continued to serve and develop our community as well as serving the wider community in Calderdale. The range of services we offer are designed to aid and support those in cycles of addiction, poverty and caught up in long term unemployment and the criminal justice system. This year has been a journey of steering through challenges and has meant the loss of some valuable people without whom we wouldn’t be where we are today and are extremely thankful for; but also a productive year where we have welcomed a new board member and director, a new enterprise lead as well as a manager in post in the charity.
We have benefitted from much needed improvements to our administrative and financial systems which are now helping our financial planning and organisational development. We have also implemented a new POS System.This year is one of ‘gain’ where we watched the construction of the new ‘flood wall’ a much-needed defence against the rising tide of the river running alongside the property. We are not water powered yet, but who knows maybe one day!
Finally, I applaud for a management team communicating and submitting building plans for the transformation of the mill complex into a ‘place to come to’. New fire systems that had to be implemented throughout the mill resulted in taking a risk and the creation of an amazing open plan space filled with donated goods from the community and space for our collaborator/s including a barber with plans for a café and all hosted by the remarkable Rusty’s Coffee Club.

Sam$%&
Samuel (not real name) initially came to Colt in 2015 and have been here ever since. He was not in work, was an alcoholic and did not have much outlook in life. He was referred to us through the job centre. When we asked Samuel what the real difference is the programme made to him, he said “the staff here really saw me – they acknowledged me as a person of value, helped me deal with my mental health and addiction issues and enabled me to see that I am worthy.”
Samuel worked as a volunteer for several years, but earlier this year we offered Samuel an employed role for 9 hrs per week. We asked Samuel how he now feels about this, and he said, “My life has massively improved in all factors of life. I am valued and part of a community. Having a feeling of worth is wonderful – this is down to the support from Colt…I now have goals for my life because I am valued, I have purpose and I am esteemed as an employed person, who is part of this community.”
We asked Samuel about his hopes for the future, and he said, “I am looking forward to being employed for more hours of work here, or further afield. I also am looking forward to continuing to stay healthy in mental health and drinking issues.”

Dav,X <ha. Bedj?D%
I came 8 years ago on a 12months work placement. I was placed in the bed area, which at that time was in a real mess and to start off I felt like leaving there and then!
However, I stayed and have since shared my expertise and made the area functional, profitable and inviting to customers.
I feel like a valued member of the team, other staff and volunteers continue to ask me questions and customers even come in and ask for me personally to help them with their purchase.
Mel,UD<’s S^o6y
I first came to Project Colt for the Ladies Self Esteem course due to a long-term struggle with anxiety that had got worse and was affecting my daily life.
The course really helped to build my confidence and helped me learn how to manage my anxiety. At the end of the course I began volunteering in the charity shop, doing some cleaning, and helping with the monthly volunteer meals. I really enjoyed
volunteering as it gave me the opportunity to get out of the house and meet new people and it helped me feel comfortable being in a work environment again after being out of work for quite some time. Project Colt then offered me a place on the Barista training programme and from there I was offered some paid work on the coffee cart alongside some volunteering.
L
This has been such a great opportunity for me and I am so thankful to Project Colt for helping me get back in to work. The support and encouragement from both staff and other volunteers make Project Colt a great place to work and volunteer.

LOOKING AHEAD
There is nothing more permanent than change and when I look toward the future of the charity and enterprise I am encouraged that what was planned over 25 years ago with a small group of volunteers has a new generation of community champions, a culture of ‘can do’ supporters and a financial strategy team that brings sustainability. In faith we move on with a favourable wind and fresh vision to serve those who are in need and those who require some help to aid their recovery journey. Mary Spencer CEO
