## Chairpersons Foreword
I am pleased to introduce our 19th Building Blocks Family Centre Annual Report
This year we have had overcome various challenges due to Covid 19 pandemic, Our team have had to continually adapt our services to changing guidelines to ensure that our families and children still received the high standard of support that we provide. We also had to face the ongoing and the financial implications to ensure that we could come through the pandemic.
Once again our team, went above and beyond to ensure that the services provided during the pandemic met the ever changing needs of our families during an unprecedented year. As Chairperson, I am honoured to be in a position where during the last year over 813 children have been supported and 1734 pare
On behalf of the Trustees, I would like to thank the staff and volunteers for being there when we needed them, adjusting their roles accordingly and being there for families who needed them at the most crucial time. You have come together as a team and kept our services going, thank you!
I would also like to thank Ceri Pritchard for going above and beyond her role who managed to keep our Family Centre alive in the most darkest of times we have faced.
I would also like to thank all the funders that supported us during the pandemic which enabled us to diversify our services to meet the challenges of the pandemic.
We are looking forward to the new year ahead and will carry on “building the foundations of our families’ futures” together.
Nicola Gnojek
Chairperson
## Foreword from our Patron
The last year has been a particularly challenging one for all of us, as we battled against the pandemic. We owe a big debt of gratitude to those heroes in health, care services, the police, education, other key workers and to countless volunteers. We have relied on them all to help us through the crisis. At the same time, we have all done our bit to keep things going, often under the most difficult of conditions.
Inevitably, the impact has been felt by nurseries and childcare providers like Building Blocks, who play both a vital part in the local community and make an important contribution to our local economy. For those workers who have no choice but to continue working outside their home, knowing that their children are cared for by skilled, trusted child care workers here, means one less worry on their shoulders.
Working with young children and their families is physically and emotionally challenging work, even in normal times. It requires a superhuman level of patience and understanding, but early learning and child care are possibly the most important professions a person can choose. They are also possibly the most challenging. Thank you to Ceri and all the team for everything you do, I very much value being a patron of Resolven Building Blocks and look forward to continuing working with you and the local community.
Jeremy Miles MS

## Childcare Services
It has been a difficult year for our childcare provision with our childcare closing it’s doors for the first time ever since opening in 2007. The pandemic meant that we had to temporarily closed We reopened our doors in July 2020 and upon returning, we recognised the impact that recent events would have had on the children’s wellbeing and the challenges they might face on returning. We ensured all staff understood how to support all children on their return so that they could recognise any signs of upset, anxiety or stress in order to support them accordingly. Clear, developmental stage appropriate communication was provided to support children to make sense of the new guidelines on social distancing and hygiene through signs and displays, conversations, key workers, songs and games etc.
Our childcare service has been challenged during the year with lower numbers of children accessing our childcare services. The team decided to help our children re-settle into the childcare environment and support both children and parents with separation anxiety that has increased since returning from the lockdown. Alongside this our team have been working to improve the environment of our facilities by ensuring our children have stimulating environment to help them catch up with their child development milestones that the pandemic has impacted.
## Well-being 4 Me
We completed our third year of the service which is funded by Families First . Due to the pandemic we had to change and adapt the way our service was delivered, as we could not run our usual face to face sessions for 7 months out of the year. We instead came up with new ways of supporting children and families through the difficult time period. Therefore as we could not work children with disabilities face to face we developed the following:
- Tailored booklets for every child with a disability using our service was created and delivered to children so parents could continue supporting their children at home.
- Transition workshops were held via Facebook which we had over 31 parents join to get a better understanding on how to support their child with transitions back to school after the lockdown.
- Activities, advice and information were posted to our private Face book group which had 106 members.
34, 1-1 skype sessions were delivered to keep in contact with chil dren and provide fun activities during the lockdown period.
- Transition booklets were created and provided to over 70 families.
100% reported an improvement in their families resilience and family relationship.
## Their Journey, Our Impact
C is an 11-year-old girl. She started sessions with us in March but was only able to attend 2 before sessions had to stop due to Covid-19. We kept in contact through lockdown and supported the family through skype sessions, phone calls, emails and the Facebook page.
Mum raised concerns around Cs behaviour and felt a lot of it was due to her being anxious about starting comprehensive school in September. We pointed her in the direction of Transition courses and also provided them with a transition booklet. Mum completed the training and also attended our Facebook workshop. We also created an anger management booklet with strategies that would support C in managing and reducing any meltdowns.
Mum said she has noticed an improvement in C’s behaviour and was pleased with her progress. Sessions were then able to resume and C attended all 12 face to face sessions. We did a range of activities relating to her targets such as calm down activities, anger management, group games to encourage socialisation and activities around feelings and emotions. When finishing mum stated that C has ‘learnt how to talk about her issues and it helps to reduce her anger. She has learnt ways to cope, which has helped to lower the meltdowns. She has felt comfortable and enjoyed coming, she is going to miss it.’ .
## Talk it Through
We were successful in securing 3 years of funding from the National Lottery Community Fund in 2020 as a result of a successful 12 month pilot project that was delivered between 2019-2020.
Talk it Through offers counselling sessions tailored specifically for children and young people with disabilities. We provide peer support group to enable children and young people with disabilities to interact with their peers who have similar experiences. We deliver a variety of workshops for parents specifically on mental health to provide them with tools and techniques to support their children and young people with disabilities struggling with their mental health. The service is a whole family approach .
We have helped 42 children and young people with disabilities build their emotional resilience and well-being
122 parents gained confidence and skills in dealing with their child with disability emotions.
As the project commenced during the pandemic it meant that we had to adapt some of the original project, the peer group could not be run however we commenced ‘Pandemic pals’ which was a pen pal service where children and young people could seek peer support through email or letters.
Counselling session went online or via telephone rather than face to face. Parents support was delivered via email, video conferencing and telephone. Online videos on parenting, mental health and coping strategies during lockdowns – 26 videos with over 20,000 views from parents.
## Their Journey, Our Impact
B mum came through to the project from our Forward Steps as she was struggling with B behaviours and managing her emotions. B would rage and kick off frequently and didn't understand their emotions or what to do with them. B was the only one of their siblings with a disability and found it difficult to express themselves and communicate. B confidence was very low and B would say they hated themselves. Mum had been trying to get support for B but no one seemed to be able to help, B was on waiting lists for support and had had ELSA sessions through the school which hadn't helped.
B mum came to our online workshop “Understanding and managing ASD and anxiety” where she learned some coping techniques and about the links between emotional literacy, sensory needs, anxiety and behaviour.
B then started having online sessions with out counsellor during lockdown. B was unsure at first, but after a few sessions started to engage really well and looked forward to each session. B learnt positive self-talk and self-nurturing, mindfulness and how to express emotions. During the sessions I would send out exercise or resources for B to use including a plant which we watered each morning as a reminder to grow their selfkindness along with their kindness plant.
B self-scored a 1 out of 5 for confidence on her first session, and a 3.5 out of 5 after 8 sessions. B was offered to continue with support from our project by attending our peer support wellbeing group but unfortunately due to mums works commitments B was unable to attend. We continue to invite mum to any workshops and support sessions and she knows we are here to chat if she needs us.
**'I really enjoy your feedback as I know I can take something away from it to help, B has really benefitted from the sessions'**
B has now been referred to the integrated autism service and has a social worker who has thanked us as she responded well to the sessions. We continue to be in contact and support where we can.
## Talk2gether
Talk2Gether is a project funded by BBC Children in Need, this service helps to provide a fun and nurturing environment, with a range of play activities that will help promote children's speech, language and communication development. Through a range of positive play opportunities children will be encourage to develop their skills:
**Speech Language Listening Social Confidence** The Talk2gether service offers 2.5 hours twice a week for a 10 week period for children aged 0-5 years. We offer out services in schools and based in Building Blocks. We had to adapt our services during the year due to the pandemic, which meant stopping face to face delivery and look at alternative ways of delivering sessions. Our team adapted quickly working with children at home via video conferencing. Introducing a baby and parent sessions online to help parents who were concerned about their child SLC development due to the pandemic and offering 10 weeks of support via video conferencing. We developed videos on how to support your child at home with their speech, language and communication skills. Provided advice and support to those families who were struggling due to the lockdown.
During the year we have been able to support children with a whole range of difficulties and additional needs some of these are: speech disorder, sensory progressive disorder, global development delay, hearing difficulties, mental health or emotional difficulties, anger issues, social anxiety , attachment issues, low self-esteem and challenging behaviour, speech and language developmental delay and verbal and non-verbal communication difficulties, listening and attention difficulties.
We work hard to provide inclu siveness for all children. Since the start of the project in 2016 we have supported 230 children in our Talk2gether service.
49 children supported to improve their speech, language and communication skills, reduce frustration and develop friendships.
## Their Journey, Our Impact
L came into our setting this year with reduced vocabulary and L understand and listening skills were delayed by a year. Mam was concerned that L wouldn’t be ready for school as L was delayed in all areas of development and had limited social and communications skills with their peers or adults and suspected Autism Spectrum Disorder.
L had never been to a childcare setting before however really enjoyed coming to the session. L engaged well in the SLC activities that we had tailored to L to help L expand their vocabulary, verbal and understanding. We set up activities to build on listening and attention skills that followed L interests, L loved dinosaurs so our activities were based around a dinosaur theme and we encouraged listening skills by asking L to find the dinosaurs roar. We used a wide range of activities and resources to help L development including pictures, signs, gestures, high interest games, rewards and visual timers/timelines all with intention of L enjoying, engaging and learning.
We provided L with 1-1 support for around 5 weeks and as L had progressed so well it was decided that L would gain more from being in a small group of children that were already working on their social and communication skills. L loved the group environment and was on the stepping stones for being ready to be able to attend school. Mam never thought L would progress and develop as much as they had and achieved this in such a small space of time. L development in SLC had caught up with the stage of development they should have been for their age.
L is now happy in school making lots of friends and learning new things in his education with a few hours 1-1 support for sensory support.
## **Bounce Back Project**
Bounce Back was a Community Foundation Wales Recovery Fund project which delivered 6 months of sessions for children with disabilities and additional needs including emotional and wellbeing needs who had been affected in some way by the pandemic. 40 children aged 3—11 years accessed the service, with each child receiving 1-1 care with sessions tailored around the support they required, with most of the children
needing support in developing emotional resilience, building selfesteem, confidence and expressing their feelings.
The sessions provided children with a 1-1 children support worker who worked with the family and child to develop an individual play plan tailored to the needs of the child. This plan would aid with the monitoring and progress of the child over the 12 weeks of support. Parents were supported by having the tools to support their child with any needs which were identified during the families assessment.
Sessions were tailored around each individual child’s needs and developmental needs with a variety of activities to engage the children in sessions which included:
- Arts and crafts – expressive arts, colouring and painting
- Calming activities – breathing techniques, walking, sensory play
- Emotional expression – positivity and calming jars, visions boards, emotion boards
Holiday club sessions were also held which were focused around mindfulness, emotions and coping with feelings during an emergency situation such as a pandemic. At the end of the service, evaluations were completed by the parents and age/development appropriate evaluations were carried out with the children.
## Impact of the Service
33 parents reported an improvement in their child emotional resilience
The pandemic was still effecting some of the families who were accessing the service, with some of the children having to isolate which meant they were not able to complete the session in the building, staff adapted how they delivered the service for the families effected by creating ‘Bounce back packs’ which had information and activities and tools so that families were still having some form of support. Staff would also keep in regular contact by offering online sessions and phone calls to the family and child.
78% of children felt 100% children said they they had learned felt comfortable in new skills around talking and expresscoping strategies ing their feelings
## Their Journey, Our Impact
A parent contacted us to discuss concerns regarding their nearly 2 year old child. She explained that Child L was displaying behaviours that she felt could be a sign of autism but her biggest concern was that due to the pandemic, child L had not been around any other children and had only seen a few close relatives. She was finding it difficult to work from home as L would not leave her side and he didn't even like being in a different room to her.
We decided to prioritise L's separation anxiety and we offered him a placement with our bounce back project. When L entered the building, he was very upset and it was evident that he would not be able to do long sessions with us, instead we offered two 45 sessions per week and to ensure consistency, L had the same member of staff with him for each session.
He would not enter a room with other children or other staff members, instead we set up the sensory room for L and this was the room he would prefer to be in. After a few weeks of this approach, we introduced one or two children into the room with him and although at first he was slightly unsettled, he got used to this and seemed a lot happier. We were then able to build up the time he was with us to 2 hours.
Now, 3 months on, L has begun to explore our setting further, he enjoys going outside to play and has started going into the room with other children for short amount of time. His mother has said that she has seen a big improvement at home, and he will now play with some toys by himself. We are currently in the process of applying for a 1-1 support session for L so that he can attend the setting more hours with a 1-1 staff member to meet his developmental needs.
## Families Together 2
Families Together 2 is a project funded by the National Lottery Community Fund. Our project provides tailored family led support services that provide families in Neath Port Talbot with the opportunity to improve their family quality of life. We have now completed our third year of our project and we will now be entering the final year of our project. Over the past year we have supported families by providing:
- Tailored parenting support
- Accessible training and workshops in a range of subjects
- Disabled childcare support
- Transition support sessions for children
- Employability support
- Volunteering opportunities
- Information, signposting and advice
- Ongoing support during the COVID-19 pandemic
During the third year of our project we have provided support to 295 individuals. They have accessed our support in a range of ways including accessing our workshops, signposting or receiving childcare support.
Over year 3 of our project we were forced to adapt our delivery due to the COVID-19 pandemic. We realised quickly that we would no longer be able to run our face to face service and instead adapted to a virtual service to support our families. We did this by continuing to signpost our families to services that were still able to support them and having regular phone call contact with them. We also created an online support platform with the creation of our ‘Moment A Day’ page. We use this page to post information on service, provide training workshops, activity booklets, coffee evenings, quiz nights and updates from families across Neath Port Talbot. This virtual space was a positive place on social media during the pandemic where families could support each other through a difficult time.

**Our page has continued to grow and now has 717 members who continue to access our support virtually.**
As restrictions began to lift following the COVID-19 pandemic, we began Time2Transition sessions for children aged 0-2 who had been affected by the pandemic and 2-4 year olds who were beginning their transition in to school. In these groups we provided 24 children with the opportunity to reduce separation anxiety, build confidence and build on their development milestones through play based sessions.
**116 families felt their family quality of life have improved as well as 92 families felt their parenting skills have improved**
Our members really enjoyed our virtual coffee evenings and quiz nights which started in May 2020. We covered a range of subjects including positivity, speech and language, building confidence, mindfulness and reducing stress. We received a lot of positive feedback about our live streams on Moment A Day, particularly that they “love the live streams, quizzes and especially the coffee evening. It is full of positivity and it’s lovely to talk to other parents and adults in a non-judgemental setting”
**During the third year of our project we have provided support to 295 individuals.**
## Building Blocks Food Bank
In April 2020 our food bank became an independent food bank in order to provide more support for families across Neath Port Talbot. At the start of the pandemic we saw a huge increase in the number of people using our food bank and our delivery service which was provided Neath Port Talbot wide.
Since becoming and independent food bank we have provided:
- 417 food parcels to families across Neath Port Talbot.
- Supported 924 adults.
- Supported 612 children.
- Delivered 390 parcels across Neath Port Talbot to those who would be unable to access due to lack of transport, isolation and disability.
- Provided Christmas presents for families facing financial hardship.
We now have a team of 12 volunteers who help with deliveries, creating parcels, collecting donations and stock rotations. Thank you to our funders, Community Foundation Wales, Awards for all Wales, WCVA Voluntary Emergency Fund, NPTCBC Food Poverty Grant .
**“I appreciate the help that I received today more than you know so thank you to all the staff”**
**“Thank you to everyone one that helped with it all this will never be forgotten”**
**“Without you, my kids would not be able to eat properly. I don't care about me but they are my world so I can never thank you enough"**
## Forward Steps
The last year has seen the Forward Steps project having to make changes within how the service is delivered. Due to the Covid pandemic, support for families has been needed more than ever, with some of families needing an extension of the time they have support due to the challenges they are facing. At the end of September 2021, training was changed from being delivered face to face to being delivered remotely online, this worked well for the majority of families as it provided flexibility and has been more accommodating for them. The online training has been successful with good attendance being consistent throughout and it remains to be the main choice of training for families.
There has been an increase in the amount of referrals received for teenagers and older children; this has meant that training has needed to be adapted so that it’s more beneficial for the parents/carers completing the training who have children within that age group. Weekly referrals have continued to be made to the service with a high number of families requiring support around their child’s disability and managing challenging behaviour. There has also been an increase in children and young people needing more support around their mental health and wellbeing which has been significantly affected due to the pandemic.
During the upcoming months, the Forward Steps team look forward in continuing to support parents and families of children and young people with disabilities by offering advice, training and support tailored to each family’s individual need.
## Their Journeys, Our Impact
A parent was referred to us regarding her daughter who had been placed on the ASD pathway. The parent was struggling with her daughter challenging behaviour at home, she was also refusing to attend school and she was struggling to sleep. The parent also wanted support to help her daughter improve her self-esteem and the parent wanted advice on how to help her daughter regulate her emotions better. A plan of support was agreed with the parent and attend our training programme being delivered online due to the pandemic. The training workshops provide parents with understanding and tools on understanding challenging behaviour, communication and setting boundaries and regulating emotions.
The parent informed us that they had learned a vast amount by attending our training programme and also had benefited from speaking to other parents in a similar situation to them. This made them not feel so alone. Alongside the training programme we also supported the family with phone calls, emails and text messages and kept in contact through difficult and challenging times. The Family Disability Workers provided the family wilt advice and information to help their daughter getter a better sleep pattern and techniques and tips to help with their daughter meet her sensory needs. We were also able to help them with a referral through to Occupational Therapy.
The parent informed us that they had felt supported and the strategies implemented at home and having peer support from other parents really made a difference to their daughter and their family life.
## Mindfulness Club Pilot
We delivered 12 weeks of mindfulness club to 33 children from February – April 2021. The aim of the sessions was to help children aged 3 - 11 re-build their confidence, self-esteem and emotional resilience, and to help with low level anxiety such as separation anxiety, attachment issues and other low-level mental health issues that have developed due to the pandemic.
The sessions were split up into themes to allow the children to learn about each topic in depth, these included: - What is Mindfulness, Meditation, Gratitude, Emotions, Calming strategies, Mindful activities, Positivity, Resilience, Yoga, Apps & Technology, Kindness. Children had activity packs posted out weekly to them, with all the resources needed to engage in the sessions and create their own mental health tool kits. Due to the pandemic, all sessions were held online, and the children were put into 5 separate groups so class sizes were not overwhelming.
**----- Start of picture text -----**
33 children have im-

and self-esteem
**----- End of picture text -----**
Children were able to get involved and share their experiences with others around the different topics being delivered, showing them that they are not alone in what they are experiencing and allowing opportunities to form new friendships. We did have the vision to move from online sessions to face-to-face delivery, however we felt it was safest to continue them online due to cases still being present in the area. We do not feel this compromised the project as the work was still delivered effectively and all children engaged and enjoyed it.
The pilot was funded by Third Sector Mental Health Service Provision, Swansea Bay University Health Board.
- 6 children aged 2- 3 years to have improved their attachment skills and emotional resilience
- 27 children had improved skills and understanding in managing their own mental well-being
- 27 children had improved emotional well-being
## Our Impact, Their Story
## **Children Feedback**
“I thought there was going to be a lot of meditation when I joined, but it wasn’t. I learned lots of new things and my favourite part was doing the gratitude tree. When I feel upset I use the breathing exercise with the teddy bear and this makes me feel calmer and I feel ready for bed”
“I’m happy again and I know I’m not the only one that get sad sometimes”
“I liked the mindfulness club best because it showed me that other people have feelings like mine. I like to do mindful walking with my mum and sister and now when I do art sometimes I think about feelings to help me and it makes me feel calm”
## Our Impact, Their Story
## **Parent Feedback**
“My son joined the mindfulness club as he hasn't been able to do any of his social clubs etc. during lockdown and has missed interacting with peers. He sometimes struggles with his emotions and can have low self esteem. He was aware of mindfulness before he joined the club, however since participating in the club he has a greater understanding of what techniques to use to help him when he’s feeling a certain way. He himself said that the club has helped him to 'see that other people my age also feel sad or worry sometimes'. He is much more comfortable now talking about emotions and feels less self conscious when he feels a certain way. Thank you for a wonderful club!”
“Due to COVID 19 I felt it was having a impact on my child’s mental health and I decided to sign them up to the mindfulness club. Since attending the club they are much happier, it’s had such a positive effect. They are using meditation regularly and they listen to calming music before they go to bed. This has been such a positive experience for my child”.
## **Safe & Sound Project**
The new changing facility has meant we have been able to ensure that children with disabilities in our care have been able to access good quality care and keep their dignity.
The wider impact of the project is that children with disabilities had the opportunity to have the same experiences as their peers without disabilities, meaning that children feel equal which brings confidence to a child’s life. This will have a lasting effect on the children’s lives as it helps with them being able to access a fully accessible service, empowering them with their independence and confidence.
We have also been able to train our staff and volunteers who work with children with disabilities and complex needs to use the hoist and equipment, enabling staff and volunteers to work with children safely and deliver high care to children with disabilities at our facility.
The hoist has been purchased and all sensory equipment is now in place, making it a wonderful and calm environment for children to be changed in with dignity. The room has really changed the opportunities that we can provide to children with disabilities at our facility. We have also been able to train individuals, 24 staff and volunteers in total to use the hoist safely.
## Their Journey, Our Impact
Child S is five years of age and has a diagnosis of global development delay with ongoing tests for other health conditions. Child S has a significant physical development delay and is currently unable to walk or crawl. Child S is getting older and it has meant that her 1-1 support worker is no longer able to lift her physically. Child S is totally dependent on an adult to meet her personal needs, it would not have been possible to change her without any changing equipment suitable for children with a physical disability. The hoist and changing bed ensures that Child S needs are being met in a suitable, dignified manner for her, ensuring she is safe and her physical needs are being met. It has meant that there are no barriers in placement with us and she can continue to attend the setting, which she has been attending since the age of 10 months.
## Working during the pandemic
## **Lockdown – 24[th] March 2020 – July 2020**
Covid-19 has been difficult for everyone and at Building Blocks Family Centre, we were no different. On the 23rd March 2020 we had to close our doors to the community for the first time in 12 years and unfortunately, many of our staff were placed on furlough as we could not continue to run our childcare services and we only had 2 parents who were key workers, who required childcare support so closing temporarily was a difficult decision for us. However, our project staff continued to work from home and we saw how we need to adapt our services to online delivery which meant we could support our families at a distance. Our biggest focus was adapting our food bank so that we could deliver parcels to families who couldn’t physically leave their homes and we saw a heavy rise in food parcels with 101 parcels being delivered during lockdown period and they still continue to be high with families losing their work.
Our staff and volunteers were amazing and adapted quickly, making sure families were still receiving the support they needed during lockdown. As usual the team arose to the challenge. It was truly heart warming receiving the kind messages from families who we have been able to support and seeing that our staff and volunteers have been able to make a difference to their lives during such unprecedented times.
**Anonymous: "You have helped myself and my partner and children during this very difficult time and I am overwhelmed by the help you have given , to go out of your way to deliver food whilst I am low on money and my partner is our of work during this pandemic. Big thumbs up to you all"**
We also took to social media and started "moments a day" page which we encouraged residents in Neath Port Talbot to join. It was a place that was kept full of positivity throughout lock down. It was a place where people came together to share positive ideas and activities through the pandemic and keep upbeat, when we have been surrounded by such devastation.
We've also held virtual quizzes for children, when connecting with their friends was so difficult due to school closures. We held regular coffee evenings through Facebook, to enable people to connect especially for those who felt isolated, lonely or struggling in such a difficult time. We also recorded podcasts to give our families lots of resources to support their families at home such as “how to help your child with meditation”, “helping your child
develop their speech and language”, “how to support your child's mental health during lockdown” and so many more.
We held online workshops to help parents who are struggling with their sleep, children with challenging behaviour and transitioning to comprehensive school.
**Anonymous: "Thank you Building Blocks for running this page, it has been my go to page during lockdown, when everything was doom and gloom I knew if I went to your page it would be happy and full of positivity which I really needed some days, so thank you"**
## Our
Talk2gether team have continued to deliver our speech, language and communication support services online for children under the age of 5.
Our Talk2gether team continued to deliver our speech, language and communication support services online for children under the age of 5. This meant that children continued to get the early intervention support that they really need during lockdown, especially with childcare and schools closed.
Our Talk it Through service was also busy during the pandemic, making sure children with disabilities and their families received much needed emotional and well-being support, by providing online counselling, toolkits and weekly videos providing tips to keep calm and manage anxiety and emotional well-being.
Through lockdown our teams ensured that families didn’t feel abandoned, alone or struggling and kept in regular contact with them making sure they got the right support at the right time or by just being that listening ear in such awful times.
**Anonymous: "Building Blocks staff has continued to provide much needed support during these unpredictable times and has ensured and adapted support that I received. Christina (Family Development Officer) has listened to my concerns particularly about my children's emotional well-being and she has found ways for me to support them at home, so thank you"**
During lockdown, if it wasn't for the support of the Moondance Foundation, Awards for All Wales, Community Foundation in Wales, Pen y Cymoedd, Neath Port Talbot CVS (ICF, Comic Relief, Voluntary Emergency Fund), Edward Gosling Foundation, Marsh Charitable Trust, Muirhall Energy, WCVA Voluntary Emergency Fund, BBC Children In Need and National Lottery Community Fund, WCVA Thrive and Survive, Welsh Government Funding for their grants and funding support during this time, without their support we wouldn't be here today.
We also had a great deal of support from Neath Port Talbot Council for Voluntary Service, ensuring that we were able to keep our doors open to the community, making the connections and a listening ear at very difficult time for us.
We know more than ever the demand for our services is increasing and families need us more now than ever before. We have re-opened our door once more and we will can continue to keep delivering the support services our children and families rely us on for.
