The Crosby Community Association has continued to provide a high quality service to the people of North Lincolnshire. We have continued to work alongside our local council, as well as other voluntary sector groups to support those most in need in North Lincolnshire.

We have supported clients in the area of Welfare Benefits with Case Work, supporting people to live a more independent life through income maximisation. Our Community Fridge project has continued to grow this year and managed to distribute even more food throughout our community.

Funded Projects Advice Service

Welfare Rights

Between April 2024 and March 2025, the Crosby Community Association’s Welfare Rights team delivered life-changing support to hundreds of vulnerable residents across North Lincolnshire. Through expert advice, advocacy, and compassionate guidance, the team helped individuals navigate complex benefit systems—unlocking vital financial resources and restoring dignity.

540 new clients received tailored casework support
£1.57 million was generated in benefits for the local community

Frontline reception handled 2,635 enquiries, issued 246 food vouchers, and provided essential Level 1 advice

Specialist advisors Paula Gravel and Sarah Burman were instrumental in this success:

Paula supported 244 new clients, generating £978,370.96 in benefits
Sarah assisted 296 new clients, securing £597,927.57 in annual entitlements

This service continues to be a cornerstone of community resilience—empowering individuals to live more independently, access their rights, and move forward with confidence

First Steps Forward

First Steps Forward (FSF) is an exciting project built around strengthening our deprived communities, with particular emphasis on the experiences of young children up to the age of 5, and their wider families. The aim is to help tackle the broad inequalities that some families face which significantly impact on the future life chances of children, and perpetuate an intergenerational cycle of deprivation. The CCA employees a support worker as part of this project.

Macmillan Welfare Benefts Advice

The Crosby Community Association are proud to be working in partnership with Macmillan Cancer Support where we are delivering a local service offering practical support finding the right Welfare Benefits entitlement for anyone living within North Lincolnshire.

We help complete application forms and offer a service that meets the needs of those in need.

Key Achievements

Referrals received: 541

Cases successfully closed: 446

Total financial support unlocked for clients: £1,325,312.30 (combination of annual entitlements and back payments)

The benefits awarded have included PIP (standard and enhanced rates of Mobility and Daily Living) Attendance Allowance (Standard and Enhanced) Universal Credit including Limited Capability for work assessments and Bereavement Allowance.

This funding has made a direct and measurable difference to the lives of people affected by cancer in North Lincolnshire, allowing them to focus on their health and family rather than financial stress.

Client Impact and Testmonials

Feedback from clients has been consistently heartfelt and affirming. The service goes beyond numbers—it’s about dignity, reassurance, and being seen.

“I am beyond grateful for what Kalie has done. Her compassion, friendliness, professionalism and knowledge helped us every step. Your input at a very difficult time was second to none—you went above and beyond. The constant support, knowing nothing is too much trouble, is priceless.”

“The face-to-face service made me feel important, recognised and valued.”

“Being face to face put me at ease and able to open up about everything.”

Staf Spotlight: Kalie Leather, Specialist Advisor

Kalie's dedication, empathy, and expert guidance have been the cornerstone of the programme’s success. Her ability to connect with clients, advocate on their behalf, and navigate complex benefit systems has not only unlocked substantial financial support, but also offered emotional relief and empowerment to hundreds.

Conclusion

This service is not just a benefit advice project—it is a testament to community, compassion, and tailored support. With sustained funding and continued collaboration, the impact can reach even further, ensuring no one faces the cancer journey alone.

Community Fridge

The Community fridge has been established to reduce food waste and support those who need a helping hand with the cost of living. Our staff and directors give their free time to collect food from supermarkets across the county to give away to the public. In this year we have distributed sixteen tonnes of food to our community and a total of fifty tonnes since the start of the project.

Community Minibus

The CCA continues to operate a minibus for the community; the aim is to provide affordable transport for the community, reducing isolation and exclusion. The minibus is available to all the community and is used by local groups to attend events.

Drop in Centre

Our drop in centre is an essential part of the Crosby Community Association. It provides a place for people to meet, chat and enjoy a friendly atmosphere.

The Drop in Centre is run by a team of dedicated volunteers who give their time to support our organisation. Some of whom are unemployed or face other issues within their lives. By volunteering they have gained experience towards employment as well as improving social skills that has helped them to move forward in their personal lives.

Revenue from the Drop in is put back in to the centre to contribute towards the running of the centre. As we are a not for profit driven company we are able to keep prices to a minimum ensuring goods are affordable to all. In addition to the sale of goods we are able to help the less fortunate by giving them items for their household or clothing. Groups, including social services refer clients who are in need as they may be fleeing from domestic violence or have nothing.

Financial Report 2023-2024

With the grants we have had for different posts during the year, we have also included the overheads for each project. The full cost recovery from these grants has contributed towards the day to day expenses of the centre.

The Drop in centre has again generated a good income, along with donations and minibus hire has contributed towards the expenses of the centre.

We have continued to rent space to a local Fruit and Vegetable store, where the incoming rent contributed to the ongoing costs of running the centre.

The CCA will be looking to the future for funding for when projects come to an end as well as focusing on improvements to the building. We will continue to generate our own funding while keeping a tight budget ensuring the continuation of our organisation.
