Mission in the Economy Authored by: Laura Hutcheon

Chair of Trustees Report

Rev Canon Dr Crispin Pailing

Mission in the Economy continues to be a very stable charity, but the last year has been a time of innovation as we look for new ways to meet the needs of the communities around us. As well as developing new partnerships and chaplaincies, we have two distinctly fresh projects. Firstly, we have been the lead in an ecumenical and multi-faith consortium to improve food provision for those in need in St Helens; and secondly we are being commissioned by Churches Together in the Merseyside Region to lead on Faith Emergency Response Teams. As the need for emergency response is re-evaluated, MitE is uniquely placed in the region to offer sustainable multi-faith connections and, just as importantly, training for those volunteering to work in challenging incidents.

Our chaplaincies are now well-established and although there have been some changes in personnel, our partner organisations continue to articulate the value which they see in our work. We have also seen a growth in volunteers so that chaplaincies such as with Merseyside Police are now reaching much further into the organization and benefiting more people. The education and training side of our operations continue to flourish: our Chaplaincy Today course is delivered on-line and participants are able to join from across the country. There are few agencies offering this sort of training, and so we are a useful resource for many churches.

The Trustee Board has continued to work together well, with trustees undertaking various roles, focusing and supporting particular areas within MitE’s work. At the end of the year we were sorry to lose Emma Howarth who moved to a role with the United Reformed Church. She was replaced by Laura Hutcheon who became our new Executive Director.

Executive Director Report

Laura Hutcheon

Following the release of all restrictions after the COVID 19 pandemic, 2022 started with a renewed hope and that the retail and commerce sectors would return to pre-pandemic levels. However, with the economic effects of the pandemic, alongside the cost of living crisis, there remains uncertainty from both business owners and also the general population.

Our chaplains, as ever, remain an integral and constant presence within the retail sectors of Liverpool City Centre, St Helens and Warrington, and alongside our current relationships with Merseyside Police, Liverpool John Lennon Airport and YMCA Together, we have also gained a new partnership with CSL Seqirus, a pharmaceutical company located near to John Lennon Airport.

We have also experienced some changes within the organisation, namely Emma, the Director of Operations, left the company in October for a new adventure, and Debbie Williams, our Lead Chaplain in St Helens and Warrington also left for pastures new. Since then, I have joined as Executive Director, and Clare North starts as Lead Chaplain for St Helens and Warrington at the end of April.

Prior to Emma’s departure, she led Mission in the Economy in bidding for a Faith New Deal grant which was being awarded by the Department for Levelling up and Communities. Alongside partnerships based in St Helens to include Halton and St Helens Voluntary Community Action, St Helens Council, and the faith community, Mission in the Economy lead the application process. I am delighted to report that we were granted the second highest award in the whole of the country. The application was successful in the bid to obtain funds to run a mobile food pantry in the St Helens area.

After research into the disparity for the availability of affordable food, there was clear evidence to show that there was a need for affordable food to be available in the area. We have teamed up with Halton and St Helens Community Action who are managing the project, and can report that the mobile food pantry is now up and running delivering cheap and healthy food to the residents of St Helens Borough. The mobile pantry is ideal as it can visit sites which do not have the facilities to hold their own pantry or foodbank due to lack of facilities, and there is a focus on using faith based locations such as churches and church halls etc. The grant that was awarded has the provision for 2 paid members of staff, a co-ordinator and a driver of the van, and the pantry will be assisted by various teams of volunteers from all sectors within the St Helens Borough.

With 2023 being a year of uncertainty due to the cost of living crisis, there are some highlights to look forward to such as the coronation of King Charles III, the Eurovision song contest being

held in Liverpool City Centre, and the opportunity for our existing partnerships to continue and grow. I look forward to moving forward with all of our Trustees, Chaplains and staff to see what 2023 can bring.

More details of the projects that we support can be found on the website www.mite.org.uk.

Chaplaincy Reports

Merseyside Police

Our Lead Chaplain within Merseyside Police, John McCarthy, is continuing with the strengthening and progression of Chaplaincy services within Merseyside Police. Following a restructure, and a brand new Headquarters building, Merseyside Police chaplaincy services are continuing to grow, with the addition of a number of volunteers within the team. John McCarthy has prepared a thorough report reflecting the Chaplaincy as a whole, since he took over from Clare Henderson in June 2022. A copy of this full report can be made available upon request.

Extracts of the report follows, providing an update and insight into the development of the team of Chaplains within Merseyside Police.

Merseyside Police Chaplaincy since its inception has always been placed within the ‘Community Engagement Unit’ under the Local Policing strand, however in October 2022, following the continuing review of Merseyside Police a decision was made to sit Chaplaincy with the ‘Inclusion, Wellbeing and Engagement Unit’ that sits under the People’s Services strand of Merseyside Police. I believe that this is a positive move as it now sits Chaplaincy in an area of Merseyside Police dedicated to the ‘Wellbeing’ and dare I say ‘Spirituality’ of its police officers and staff. A great step forward in ensuring that Chaplaincy is seen as part of the everyday working life of Merseyside Police.

The development of all chaplains is ongoing with presentations and inputs given by Emma Howarth, Director of Operations of Mission in the Economy, and from Canon David Wilbraham MBE, National Police Chaplain. The team has also been welcomed by the Inclusion, Wellbeing and Engagement Unit lead, Gemma Shone, who along with other members of that Unit met with and updated the chaplaincy team with Merseyside police’s plans for the future, plans that very much include the Chaplaincy Team.

Chaplains have also volunteered to be a part of Merseyside Police’s ‘Oscar Kilo Peer Support Programme’. Training has been provided to all taking part and included an overview of the Oscar Kilo Peer Support Model, the Peer Support process, an introduction to Mental Health and Self-care, and Non – clinical training for Oscar Kilo Peer Supporters. This training was similar to that given to all chaplains on joining Merseyside Police and was a good reinforcement of that training.

The Oscar Kilo Peer Support Programme supports Chaplaincy in being a part of, and integral to, the working of Merseyside Police. Also, it highlights and promotes Chaplaincy across the Force.

Key events undertaken by the Chaplaincy Team;

Merseyside Police Memorial Day Service,

The Merseyside Police Memorial Day Service took place on Monday 6[th] October 2022 and was combined with the opening of the Merseyside Police Memorial Garden at the Police Headquarters at Rose Hill.

This was a multi-faith service with representatives from our Bahia, Hindu, Christian, Muslim and Jewish faith communities attending and offering their own faith memorial prayers. This was a solemn but wonderful occasion.

Armistice Day Remembrance Service”

Vanessa Martlew assisted by Ros Deyes (pictured) delivered a Remembrance Service at Smithdown Lane. The following feedback was received from D/Inspector Katie Coote – ‘I just wanted to formally thank you for the service this morning. The feedback from the staff was extremely positive and it was lovely to take time out of our days away from our desks to attend, and to see over 30 people in attendance really made it feel a sense of community.’

 The Christmas Carol Concert

The Merseyside Police Carol Service, which is coordinated by the Chief Constable’s office, took place on Tuesday 13[th] December 2022 at the Liverpool Parish Church (Our Lady and Saint Nicholas). As Lead Chaplain I was part of the group coordinating the event and provided the main address for the evening. A copy of the order of service is attached.

National Holocaust Memorial Day.

Selwyn Goldthorpe and Julie McCulloch led a memorial event and lit a candle on behalf of Merseyside Police for National Holocaust Day on 27[th] January 2023.

Merseyside Police Chaplaincy in June 2022 consisted of nine (9) volunteer chaplains, and myself as Lead Chaplain, covering ten (10) locations. In my previous role as a volunteer chaplain my chaplaincy location was the Force Contact Centres at Bridle Road and Mather Avenue. I made the decision that I would continue with this role until the number of chaplains increases as it is a key role for the Force and from a chaplaincy/wellbeing perspective a critical place to be.

In September 2022 the chaplaincy team were joined by a returning volunteer chaplain, Sr. Renate, who we are grateful to have. Sr. Renate is a well-known individual throughout Merseyside Police having been a volunteer here for several years.

The arrival of Sr. Renate brought the establishment of Merseyside Police up to one (1) lead chaplain and ten (10) volunteer chaplains.

Chaplains currently support the following locations and strands of Merseyside Police;

Huyton, Speke, Wallasey and Bebington Local Policing Hubs,
Smithdown Lane, Birkenhead and Marsh Lane Investigation Hubs,
Edge Lane, Crosby and Wallasey Response and Resolution Hubs,
Force Custody Suites,
ICT and Scientific Support at HQ Rose Hill,
Force Contact Centres at Bridle Road and Mather Avenue,
Operational Command Centre (OCC), and
Force Academy at Lea Green.

The locations of Marsh Lane, Birkenhead, ICT and Scientific Support at HQ Rose Hill were added to chaplaincy locations due to the arrival of Sr. Renate, who attends at Marsh Lane, and chaplains Sr. Margaret Baxter and Vanessa Martlew, who have found time in their own lives to

support police officers and staff in Birkenhead, ICT and Scientific Support at HQ Rose Hill, in addition to their other chaplaincy locations.

Merseyside Police held its Community First Awards 2022 evening on 16[th] November at the Hilton Hotel, Liverpool, and I can report that our chaplain Julie McCulloch won the award for ‘Police Volunteer of the Year’ for all the work she did for and the impact that she had on the wellbeing of the local policing team at Bebington throughout the Covid period.

It is my intention to recruit more volunteer chaplains for Merseyside Police, with my target being for thirty (30) volunteer chaplains to be in place by the end of 2023. This will ensure that all key locations across Merseyside Police will have the service of a Police Chaplain.

Three new chaplains were welcomed by Merseyside police in March 2023, they are Sean Murray, Judith Aveling and Fr. Richard Ebo. All three are very welcome and each bring new and different skills to the Chaplaincy team. I am also in the process of interviewing a further five prospective chaplains all of whom are extremely positive about the role, a number of these became aware of chaplaincy within Merseyside Police through the Mission in the Economy website.

Overall, throughout 2022/23 Chaplains have made great strides in becoming a part of their Chaplaincy Locations with Julie McCulloch’s award being evidence of this. It is hoped to continue this good work in 2023/24 in all the key locations of Merseyside Police, helped by the recruitment of the additional chaplains.

John A. McCarthy Lead Chaplain

YMCA Together Locations: St Helens and Liverpool City Centre

Lead Chaplain: Tim Wade

2022 was the year we began to emerge, step-by-step, from the grip and significant impact of COVID 19 on our personal and working lives and the places we serve and work. Even today I have had conversations with staff who talk of the continuing effects and repercussions of the pandemic as the YMCA Together and YMCA St Helens emerge from all the disruption it has caused. There are new challenges, but, through it all, it has been and is an honour to journey alongside staff and residents, and I have come to appreciate the resilience and compassionate dedication of all involved.

There are many dynamics in the lives of those supported by the YMCA and no two weeks are the same. On a particular week things can seem somewhat quiet with maybe less engagement, then the following week there are many interactions with support offered and received. Overall, there is one significant constant – the staff and residents know you are there as the chaplain and are available as and when they need to meet with you and touch. Be that the passing smile and brief conversation that leads to a lengthier catch up or the ongoing regular support of journeying with people. It has been noticeable that there has been an increase in the number of interactions over the last year and I believe some of this is down to the effect of the pandemic and the continuing development of relationships between myself and everyone involved with YMCA Together and YMCA St Helens.

One of the challenges has been the recruiting of volunteer chaplains. Serving as a volunteer chaplain with the YMCA offers a wonderful opportunity for someone who can journey with people facing shared but unique difficulties as they do life. Difficulties such as substance abuse and homelessness to ongoing mental health needs and domestic abuse. Although there was some movement towards recruiting a volunteer chaplain during the last year this didn’t come to fruition for various reasons. It is my hope that Laura and I can work in conjunction with the YMCA organisations and potential sources of volunteers and get this up and running this year. Along with the Time to Remember groups, there has been one particular event that was commenced during lockdown and has gone from strength to strength and that is the Service of Remembrance. This is held at Dutch Farm in the memorial garden which has been lovingly and beautifully created by staff and residents. We hold this service in the spring, summer and winter for those who have died in the service in the previous months. It is a beautiful setting for such a service and is well received and very meaningful. We also held the first Light up a Life service in the same setting in December in temperatures just above freezing, which brought together staff and residents to reflect on those loved but no longer with us and on the significance of the

season. This was a wonderful way to celebrate and reflect. It was a special time together, full of good cheer!

At the YMCA every little success is in some way acknowledged and celebrated with staff and residents. I call them “little miracles”. Even when life has been particularly difficult, and someone may have taken 2 or more steps backwards, there are many smiles when life is stepped into differently and with new perception and enabling. It has been an honour to have journeyed closely with people or to have touched base occasionally with people who have taken the next step to rehab or recovery, to move to their own home and find work or to simply rediscover more of their sense of self and meaning amid what has felt insurmountable. During 2022 there were a number of residents who separately shared with me that they knew they were in a better place as, when they had found themselves overtaken by “old ways”, they shared that they felt “a whisper within” which gave them strength and the whisper was “it doesn’t have to be this way!” This truly is living Hope and their lives are on a different course.

Looking back at 2022 I see it as a year of challenge, journeying with the emotional, physical, social and organisational impact of lockdown, but also a year of refocusing on what truly matters in life and being more proactive and less reactive. Everyone involved with YMCA Together and YMCA St Helens have a story lived and to tell and a story to be lived and unfolding, and it has been my joy to offer my ears and my support, in whatever way, to those journeys as a welcome guest. Both the YMCAs have their own distinct culture and ethos and I am aware of both my time limits (7 hours each organisation per week) and my physical limitations (my disability). This provides its own challenges and, although chaplaincy here is in many ways going well, I believe that there is considerably more that MITE volunteer chaplains could offer to the ongoing spiritual care and well-being of all in the organisations. It has been rewarding and humbling to work alongside everybody and receive the feedback they have given – “you bring joy and peace” and “someone I can touch base with and make sense of things”. Choosing to be with others is truly where life can happen meaningfully and the journey be taken well.

Liverpool John Lennon Airport Lead Chaplain: Michelle Wood

We currently have 2 volunteers at the airport who cover Mondays. Both have settled in well and are enjoying chaplaincy.

The number and depth of conversations at the airport, both among staff and passengers remains consistent. Relationships with the staff in particular have continued to deepen, and over the past year I’ve been asked on several occasions to support staff with various personal issues.

The airport has been quite busy over the past year both with internal events and a general, steady increase of numbers accessing the airport for travel which is now operating at around 80% of pre-COVID levels. For chaplaincy, this has increased the opportunity for conversations and furthered the relationships we have with the local community.

The Liverpool fans were in fine form when they flew from the airport for the Champions League final. They were well behaved, and the atmosphere was electric or as the scousers say “buzzin’”. Not so much on the return journey following a defeat.

We were asked to help manage the transfer buses full of fans and on one particular run the fans were in high spirits (some quite literally) they were shouting up and down the buss ‘effing and jeffing’ until one of them noticed “Chaplain” on the back of my hi-vis jacket. He turned round and shouted down the bus stop swearing there’s a “effing vicar on board”, which marked the beginning of an interesting (if short conversation as they had to disembark) as to why we have a chaplain at the airport.

This year we welcomed Liverpool archdiocese and Shrewsbury diocese as they used the airport for their Lourdes pilgrimage flights which began again after a 2 year break due to covid.

As chaplain, it was a privilege to help with this and it was great to see them come together, many of whom hadn’t seen each other since their last pilgrimage which gave the whole event the feel of a family reunion.

We organised and led the remembrance service last year, with children from our local primary school, St Christophers, who joined us to read 2 poems that which they had written themselves. The poems were on display in the prayer room for a few weeks following the service.

Looking ahead, part of my role as chaplain is make links with the local community via community groups, churches and schools; keeping them informed of what’s going on in community and to see if the airport can offer help and support with projects via the donate a day scheme.

This year we will be helping the local Baptist church with their food bank on Tuesday and Thursday. While the food bank runs, they offer free tea, coffee, toast or bacon bap and it is one of several local churches and community spaces that are opening as a “warm space”. We’ve been delighted as chaplaincy to make this link and support them in this area.

When the warmer weather arrives, we will also be cleaning and replanting out their outdoor areas.

Liverpool City Centre Lead Chaplain: Michelle Wood

Chaplaincy across the city center over the last year has continued to thrive.

Volunteers there report good conversations with the public and retail staff.

Chaplains working on Bold Street have considerable pressure on their time in terms of their regular work schedules, and this coming year we will be sorry to see Rev Louis Johnson leave as he takes up a new role in Lancaster Priory.

This year I will be focusing on how we continue to recruit to the city center and arrange options in the mid-term to ensure chaplaincy cover remains.

The Market’s future remains uncertain as the application for ‘leveling up funding’ was unsuccessful. The market traders remain grateful for chaplaincy presence and support in what is difficult and uncertain time for them. Jean’s work in the market space has been essential, and the relationships she has there remain vital.

Down in the Albert Dock area, Betty has done some great work over the last year, again offering support and a listening ear to shop staff and general public in the area.

It’s a delight to walk the area with Betty, who is always warmly received by folk, always stopping to speak to her when she passes by.

Overall, chaplaincy in both the airport and city center over the last year has been very good, well received and made a difference to those we encounter. I continue pray that this will grow and flourish over the coming year.

St Helens and Warrington Lead Chaplain: Clare North (Starting date 25/04/2023)

Following the departure of Debbie Williams in November 2022, our volunteers have been looked after by Janet Keefe, one of our Trustees. On behalf of all volunteers, the board, and staff, I thank Janet for her hard work and commitment during this time.

I am pleased to announce that a new Lead Chaplain has been appointed. Clare North starts her role on 25[th] April 2023, and we wish her well.

During this time I have met with some of the volunteers who have offered their own stories from their own chaplaincy. I can confirm that our relationships within St Helens and Warrington continue to grow and develop.

I also wish to acknowledge the dedication of one of our long standing volunteers, Lynne Deason, based in Birchwood Business Park. Following the devasting loss of Brianna Ghey in March 2023, Lynne dedicated a lot of time in ensuring that the workers and population surrounding Birchwood Business Park were looked after. Lynne also attended a number of memorials and placed flowers on behalf of Mission in the Economy.

I look forward to hearing about more stories and the continuing development of the chaplaincy teams in St Helens and Warrington.

CSL Seqirus Location: Renaissance Way, Speke, Liverpool Lead Chaplain: Gill Fenton

The Chaplaincy within Seqirus is a new project, starting in January 2023. As this start date post dates our accounts, there is no reporting to be completed.

However, I would like to mention that this project is the first of its kind for Mission in the Economy, being the first pharmaceutical company who have requested a chaplain.

I wish Gill luck as she grows and develops her chaplaincy.

Projects

Faith New Deal Mobile Food Pantry

R-L Emma Howarth, Janet Keefe and Laura Hutcheon. Attending the Mobile Food Pantry launch on 16[th] March 2023

In September 2021, the Department for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities (DLUHC) launched the Faith New Deal Pilot fund in response to Danny Krugers review “Levelling Up Communities: Proposal for a new social covenant” and the learning from the All-Party Parliamentary Group on Faith and Society Report “Keeping the Faith”. The DLUHC looked to fund bids from faith based organisations, either as an individual organisation or as a consortium in a partnership arrangement with local services. Grants were available for up to £200,000.00 to support a community need to seek support for post COVID 19 recovery and to solve a local problem.

When researching for the application of the grant it was evident that there had been a sharp increase in the need for food bank provision following the COVID 19 pandemic. During 2020/21 it was emerged that there was a gap in provision across St Helens borough, in that it was difficult to move from emergency food bank provision to supermarket shopping and vice versa, people who found supermarket prices out of their reach did not want to immediately resort to emergency food bank provision.

Further research was undertaken into various Food Pantry models. The community response to the pandemic also led to the formation of a new St Helens Food Alliance. The St Helens Food Alliance are mentored by Together Liverpool. Funding was granted to Halton & St Helens VCA (VCA) to work with the Food Alliance to develop a pantry model in St Helens. This consisted of funding from Torus and from Together Liverpool. Four static pantries have been created in St Helens – one at St Philips in Parr (run by The Hope Centre), one at the Tango Project at

Haydock St Marks, one at St Matthew and St James’ in Portico/ Thatto Heath and one at St Luke’s in West Park.

The proposed project was to reduce food poverty and address the associated issues with the provision of a mobile food pantry, that could move locations to the areas which lacked static pantry provision. The mobile food pantry will utilise the faith and social venues across the Borough providing value for money food provision.

The mobile food pantry model in St Helens is part of “Your Local Pantry”. Pantries go beyond the food bank model, creating a sustainable and long-term solution to food poverty. Food is sourced via Fair Share and donations. Members pay a small weekly fee and they are supported by a volunteer to choose at least ten items of food each week. Volunteers can then also provide wrap around services for any additional required support, for example volunteering, debt, mental health support, help with energy costs and housing advice, provided by St Helens Citizens Advice, Torus, the Ways to Work Team and the St Helens Wellbeing Services.

This mobile food pantry provision will fill the identified gap between emergency food provision provided by the St Helens foodbank network and provide access to fresh food from local supermarkets. The mobile food pantry is designed to enhance the development of food pantries across the Borough by providing a mobile option that can travel to the communities who require the services.

St Helens has historically had strong relationships with the Voluntary, Community, Faith and Social Enterprise sectors, mainly through the interactions of the Faith Forum and the Focus Together meeting (a meeting between the Council and Faith Leaders which is led by Mission in the Economy). This strong partnership brings together representatives from the Council, St Helens Chamber and local colleges alongside a multi faith representation.

Mission in the Economy (MitE) is an ecumenical Christian provider of workplace chaplaincy to Liverpool, St Helens and Warrington. MitE works alongside all faiths and is unaffiliated to a particular denomination, therefore it allows an impartial facilitation of reaction when required. MitE has enabled cross-faith and cross-sector groups in Warrington and St Helens, providing a forum to share ideas and information between themselves for dispersal into the wider communities. MitE has many years of experience of working in partnership with local Councils as well as other non-faith-sector groups such as VCAs and local business and skills groups, recently being part of the Town Deal Board in St Helens and facilitating the Focus Together group. MitE Chaplains come alongside people to encourage, support and enable them to flourish by providing an independent, confidential safe space and a listening ear to people of all faiths and none. With over 30 years’ experience, MitE is engaged by Merseyside Police, YMCA and Liverpool Airport to integrate chaplaincy into their organisations.

Mission in the Economy (MitE) lead the submission of the grant funding application for the St Helens Borough area, along with a consortium of partners, to include Halton and St Helens Voluntary and Community Action, St Helens Council, St Helens Food Alliance, St Helens Church Leaders Hub, St Helens Citizens Advice, St Helens YMCA and others. A full list of the consortium bid can be found on our website.

We were successful in obtaining the second largest grant awarded to fund the provision of a mobile food pantry. The funding was granted for the purchase of van, a paid project coordinator, a driver and initial food stock alongside the marketing of the project.

Through our existing partnerships and specialisms, the VCA will provide the management infrastructure for staff and volunteers. We will draw on the experience and knowledge from partners within the Food Alliance who have developed the static food pantry provision. We will ensure that the project becomes part of the local health and social care system rather than a free-standing initiative.

The project will raise awareness through all of the social media channels used by the partners and production of marketing materials to publicise the project and clearly show the times, days and venues of the mobile pantry sessions. There will be a up to date list of venues loaded onto the website.

The St Helens Mobile Food Pantry project has 6 key aims:

· To improve household finances of the households that visit the pantry
· To enable people to feel more connected to their local communities
· To improve physical health
· To improve mental health
· To enable new contacts and friendships
· To share learning and outcomes with others regionally and nationally

In recent times, due to the economic crisis fueled by the sharp rise in inflation alongside the energy and cost of living crisis, we have partnered up with registered Warm Hubs, enabling the

visitors of the mobile food pantry to have access to wide range of support and services whilst obtaining cheap and healthy fresh food.

Mission in the Economy is proud to have been an integral part in the award of this government grant, and we remain a supportive partner of the St Helens Mobile Food Pantry.

More details on the mobile food pantry can be found on sthelensmobilepantry.org.uk or via twitter @SHMobilePantry

A copy of the funding application can be made available upon request.
