Engagement, Education & Empowerment Reaching Communities Project Year 2

The Story of Our Project This Year

Groups, number of different people attending each, feedback from participants

Monday Luncheon Club, 4C Community Centre – 88. FEEDBACK - With an average attendance of over 33, there continues to be a vibrant ‘buzz’ among attendees. The feedback remains overwhelmingly positive regarding the hot lunch, chair-based exercise, and various activities delivered this year. Most participants actively engage in the chair-based exercises, recognizing the physical and mental benefits they bring. The introduction of different guest speakers has been highly appreciated, as it has broadened attendees’ knowledge and sparked lively discussions, enriching their overall experience. Activities have included: Chit Chat & Consultation; Armchair Exercises twice a month; board games; Bingo; Age UK Talk; Dementia Talk; Eid Party; networking and visits with Pakeeza (Rochdale Women’s Group); Health & Wellbeing Event; Songs & Memories Session; Bereavement Talk By Diversity Matters.

Thursday Wellbeing Group , Broadoak Community Centre – 48. FEEDBACK - This group of women continues to foster a warm, supportive environment. They enjoy sharing their thoughts and supporting each other through engaging conversations. The Khush Amdid staff consistently ask for suggestions on activities, leading to a diverse and dynamic programme. Attendees have expressed that they look forward to these sessions, having discovered new community groups and activities through the group. The awareness sessions on Cancer screening, Diabetes, Cholesterol, Menopause, and other health topics continue to be highly valued, helping to increase health literacy and promote positive lifestyle changes. Activities have included: Arts & Crafts; making Mehndi and Acrylic Paint Cones; Decorating Candles; Massage; Hate Crime Workshop; Armchair Exercise; 5 Ways to Wellbeing; Preparation for Ramadan; Recipe Sharing and the Importance of Food Hygiene; Tote Bag/Applique Session with Global Grooves; Talk about importance of vaccinations; Genes for Health Talk about importance of getting involved in medical research; Bereavement Talk By Diversity Matters; Easter Crafts; Hand Massages; Chutney Making Workshop; Importance of Making a Will and Living Power of Attorney explained; Laughter Yoga; Making Mood Boards; Making Face Masks.

Friday Dancercise Group , Holy Trinity – 51. FEEDBACK - The group remains lively and energetic. Participants love the variety of dance moves and particularly enjoy the

5

freestyle sessions with Shamaila. This year, new exercise formats such as yoga, Tai Chi, and Pilates have been introduced, which everyone has enjoyed and found beneficial. Despite the larger group size, a supportive atmosphere persists, with members encouraging and uplifting each other, fostering a sense of community and well-being.

Wellbeing Walks – 46. FEEDBACK - This year, we focused on family-friendly park walks, allowing children to join in and enjoy the outdoor activities. Led by our trained walk leaders—who attended our walk leader training—participants appreciated the diversity of local park visits. The women particularly enjoyed exploring different parks in the area. The walks are suitable for most abilities, with support readily available, ensuring that no one is left behind. Participants have reported increased fitness levels, enjoyment of nature, and strengthened social bonds.

Digital Skills Workshops – 13. FEEDBACK - Attendees learned valuable skills such as online shopping, using apps, and digital safety. All participants found the training highly beneficial, expressing enthusiasm for acquiring new digital skills. The workshops facilitated engaging conversations, allowing participants to share their experiences and tips, fostering a supportive learning environment. Many reported increased confidence in navigating the digital world.

Community Events – 660+. FEEDBACK - Attendees continue to value these opportunities to connect, fostering new friendships and strengthening community ties. The diverse range of activities is well received, encouraging participation from different age groups and backgrounds. Feedback indicates a strong desire for ongoing and expanded programmes, with suggestions for even more variety to reach wider audiences and promote inclusivity. These events are recognised as vital for community cohesion and individual well-being.

Food Hygiene Course and Food Project – 17. FEEDBACK - Participants successfully completed a food hygiene course and engaged in practical cooking activities, preparing, delivering and tasting their creations. They gained a better understanding of food preparation processes and recipe development. Attendees reported that working in groups made cooking easier and more enjoyable, fostering teamwork and sharing skills, which has boosted confidence and culinary enthusiasm. Following the course, the women reported that working in groups made the cooking process easier and more enjoyable. They said that it had helped improve their skills in teamwork and cooking as well as boosted their confidence and enthusiasm for cooking. It also encouraged social interaction and mutual support among participants.

Following the training, the women demonstrated their new skills by delivering their dishes at a public event attended by approximately 60 people, who had the opportunity to taste their food. We also encourage the provision of food for smaller events through the Khush Amdid platform, which aims to further develop these women’s skills and support their potential to establish their own food-related

6

businesses in the future.

Winter Food Support – 48. FEEDBACK - We operated a warm space for ladies between 10 am and 2 pm on Mondays from 4C Community Centre, which provided a supportive and caring environment for women during the colder months. We offered hot and cold drinks, with the option of a hot lunch, providing a safe and welcoming environment. During this time, a range of activities such as games, reading, and other engaging options were available to the attendees.

The space was inclusive of women with disabilities, mental health issues, and carers, ensuring that their specific needs were supported. Sessional staff and volunteers were present to support the women, engaging in conversations and offering assistance as needed. They also provided referrals to other agencies whenappropriate. To ensure comfort during cold weather, attendees were encouraged to inform staff privately if they required items such as hot water bottles or gloves, which some requested.

How Reaching Communities Helped us

The funding has helped us to continue the employment of staff; recruit and train 8 more volunteers, with 17 completing a Food Hygiene Course; rent 4C and Broadoak Community Centre plus new venues at West End Methodist Church and Richmond Community Centre; and run the activities that impact on women from diverse backgrounds in Tameside. It has given us the foundation on which to grow our work, including securing other grant funding, which combined has enabled us to build more activities and recruit more women into or groups.

It has further improved our engagement with NHS and Council services, Action Together Tameside as well as other community groups, especially being part of consultations around vaccinations, Ashton Neighbourhood priorities, and public health. We are now represented on Tameside Equalities Together and have input into Action Together’s Community Explorer Forum and Tameside Diversity Network and the Greater Manchester Ethnic Communities Network.

We have continued to strengthen our governance, working with Action Together on QIAA to strengthen our policies and procedures and undertaken further training for new trustees to ensure their understanding of their roles and responsibilities. The trustees are in the process of undertaking a governance audit and appraisal, and we are planning a review session in November.

We have addressed some issues regarding staff and trustee relationships. We are ensuring that both staff and trustees understand how to appropriately communicate within their responsibilities and to best utilise line management structures.

We continue to progressing in strengthening the organisation’s governance and have recruited one new trustee this year, taking us to 7. We had a target of 8 by the end of the project and have another potential trustee who will hopefully join us early next year.

7

We have continued to improve our strategic planning and partnership working, and have relationships with several more community organisations such as Ashton Primary Care Network, Carers’ Centre, Active Tameside, Global Groves, Diversity Matters North West, Health Watch.

We are partnering in a bid with Diversity Matters NW and West African Development Organisation for the Tameside Economic Inactivity Trailblazer funding. This will include targeted support for disadvantaged and excluded groups to tackle issues that impact on people’s health and well-being and improve community cohesion.

Whilst we have increased capacity to deliver effectively, we recognise that, with demand continuing to increase and us setting up new groups, we need to increase this further and are identifying and applying to new funders to achieve this. Capacity means taking on both more staff and volunteers, with support for both in place.

Women from the community have been involved as participants, volunteers, staff and trustees. They all influence how we work in their different ways. Most important are the participants and volunteers, who continue to drive the groups and share their ideas for developing them. We have a positive response to the surveys, feedback opportunities and community meetings where community members take the opportunity to voice their opinions and contribute in planning activities and events.

The differences we are making and what we have learned

The headline for the project is that is continuing to help more women from diverse ethnic backgrounds in Tameside become more skilled, healthier and engaged. We are able again to show significant achievement in these areas as well as community cohesion, confidence, social inclusion, self-esteem, self-efficacy and resilience. This comes about from our evidence in evaluations completed by women participating in our programmes as well as many discussions with the different groups.

For volunteers, we have seen phenomenal improvements in skills and confidence in supporting others and the evaluation results are shown below.

We have also progressed on a priority we set for year 2 in creating a stronger voice for women with Tameside Council, NHS services and the local VCFSE sector. We have created Tameside Female Influencers’ Group in January with 15 participants. They have engaged with several decision makers from the Council, NHS and Action Together as well as feeding into consultations and attending networking events. There is an appreciation amongst those groups of the opportunity to connect with ‘grass roots’ women who are often hard to reach.

EVALUATION METHODOLOGY

Our main evaluation tool is our questionnaire that is completed by participants over the delivery period. This is designed to measured several outcomes by asking participants if participation had helped them improve in these areas and capture as many people’s input as possible. We are clear that the questionnaires can be

8

completed either by each person themselves or by interview, the latter being appropriate where there are literacy or comprehension.

Quantitative questions ask for a rating on a 0–10 scale, with two point intervals shown (i.e. 0,2,4,6,8,10). Positive ratings in these areas are measured by a score of 6 or above. This method gives us the opportunity to identify an average and to see the spread of scores. Three questions were comparative asking for a rating before and after participation.

The benchmark for fully successful outcomes is positive ratings greater than 85%. Analysis of all the evaluations is presented below along with recommendations for the project and organisation as a whole going forward.

EVALUATION RESULTS

Overall satisfaction was reported by 98.2% at an average rating of 7.94. This compares to last year’s 85.3% at an average rating of 7.94. This is a significantly improved impact evidencing the result of hard work by staff and volunteers, especially being more responsive to meeting the needs of service users identified

The qualitative feedback on how satisfaction was achieved include:

9

The fact that we received far more comments on what influences service users’ satisfaction, along with their extremely positive nature, shows why we have achieved the exceptional result this year. Again we see a range of factors that contribute to satisfaction, confirmed in our discussions with the groups. Ensuring the combination of strong and diverse activities, opportunities to socialise, staff performance, ensuring accessibility, and the opportunity to volunteer or otherwise contribute has clearly helped with this achievement and, going forwards, we will continue to reinforce these wherever possible.

With 98.2% of participants saying that the service provided met their needs and interests (up from 85.3% in year 1), we can have confidence that we have been delivering our activities in an improved manner. Part of this is due to ensuring more opportunity for participants to input into what is put on, and implementing their ideas. This should be continued going forwards as well as looking to get more women involved with working groups and looking to progress into influencing more the overall organisation.

10

The 64.9% reporting that they had the opportunity to be involved with planning and delivering is similar to the 64.7% last year. Whilst we gave the opportunity for everyone to have training in activity planning, only a small number took this up. The majority of women are still having some involvement in planning and delivery of sessions but we have much room to improve. Therefore we will look to put on two or three actual planning sessions, rather than feedback sessions, in groups, making them as interactive as possible and having the training integrated with the implementation. This will hopefully remove the initial barrier to being involved with planning and encourage more involvement and more people delivering. Subsequently, we hope that this would lead to increased numbers volunteering.

100% of respondents reported that participating in activities had given them a stronger sense of community, compared to 88.2% in year 1. This exceeded our expectations and reinforces the fact that we are operating on the right lines. The only concern is keeping this level of achievement next year! Along with the fact that 94.6% said that coming to Khush Amdid made them more likely to volunteer or do things for the community, up from 73.5% in year 1, this shows the improved impact of our activities. We have established a clearer volunteer pathway but need to build on this by integrating volunteering opportunities into sessions, as described above. We still need to explore accreditation and more recognition for those volunteering especially, for those over 50, registering with the Discovery Award.

11

In addition to sense of community, we ask a specific question regarding positivity to people from other ethnic groups. 98.1% said that we had impacted positively compared to 91.2% in year 1. This would appear to be a combination of several activities addressing diversity and inclusion issues along with the increasingly diverse nature of the groups. There is certainly a need to continue activities to celebrate diversity and involve people in planning new, creative ways to do this.

12

The impact of the work is further seen with 98.2% of participants saying that coming to Khush Amdid made them believe they can do more with their life. This is an exceptionally strong piece of evidence that can be used as a marketing tool both to encourage more women to get involved as well as for potential funders and donors as it is one of the we have.

Our question measuring impact across several intended outcomes. The results are extremely strong across the board, all well exceeding our 85% target. One significant improvement is the 98.2% expressing positive belief that they can achieve their personal goals, up from 85.3% in year 1. Feedback from the different groups tell us that there are many positive aspects to both the types of activity being delivered as well as the process by which this is being done. The idea of involving more service users in planning and delivery will hopefully strengthen this further.

13

We asked a similar question to measure improvements in life skills. The 85% target was exceeded for areas of mindfulness, relaxation, meditation, English language, and giving support & advice. Digital, financial resilience and careers, whilst not reaching the target, were significantly improved from last year. The reflects the increased focus in these areas during the year and, with this, further focus in the final year on these areas will be prioritised.

What is very positive is the overall improvement reported in strength of life skills, with

14

the average rating going from 6.2 to 8.3 (compared to 5.1 to 8.2 last year). There were 19.3% reporting in the negative domain prior to involvement and only 1.7% after (54.5% to 3.0% last year). This shows that, across the project, we are continuing to have a significant impact on life skills.

Relevant comments include:

15

The level of confidence reported is again strong, again with the ‘before’ measure at a higher level, with the average rating going from 5.6 to 8.6 (4.6 to 8.5 last year) an excellent rise of 3.0 points. There were 31.6% reporting in the negative domain prior to involvement and 1.7% after. (68.1% to 0%).

There is a significant correlation between the rating of life skills and confidence after involvement (Pearson correlation R=0.75, P<.001), which is even stronger than last year. This again supports our hypothesis that improvement in skills leads to greater confidence, as confirmed in discussion with participants. Moving forward, we should look to identify more opportunities to develop different skills so as to build on this impact.

Health

We again measured improvement in physical fitness with one question and, for mental well-being, had a change measure. Both showed significant improvements and were in line with last years results. 93.0% reported improvement in physical fitness, an average rating of 8.07.

16

For mental well-being, the average rating went from 5.9 to 8.5, an excellent rise of 2.6 points. There were 29.8% reporting in the negative domain prior to involvement and only 1.7% after. The higher starting point for this and other measures is noteworthy as well as the higher average after involvement.

17

Both improvements, as with last year, show significant impact from involvement and are backed up by qualitative feedback answering how coming to Khush Amdid’s activities help in improving their health:

Volunteers

We asked volunteers several questions relating to the impact of volunteering and support received. The answers, as with last year, showed huge positivity based on volunteering with nearly all responses in the positive domain. The two particular outcomes we had set out to evidence – to improve volunteers’ skills and confidence in supporting others – both had 100% of volunteers rating positively on all aspects, as seen below. 100% also reported that they had opportunity to be involved with planning and delivering the activities and that the opportunity met their needs and interests.

Average ratings for life skills were all over 8.0 and for confidence over 9.0.

18

These results are, in many cases, an improvement on the previous year but, again, there is room for improvement. Training and coaching for volunteers needs to be more consistent to further expand their skills, ensure new volunteers are given similar opportunities, and build the cohort. Current volunteers need to buddy new ones more consistently so that we can both strengthen support as well as guidance skills.

19

Comments from volunteers reinforce the positive impact:

There were several useful comments as to what would improve their volunteer experience, with one very comprehensive description:

We also had 3 change measures that very clearly evidence the impact of the work:

CASE STUDIES

Case Study: Khadeeja’s Journey with Khush Amdid

Khadeeja, a resident of Ashton, has been living in the area for two years. During her search for women’s activities and community engagement, she discovered Khush Amdid through the local library. Curious about the organisation’s offerings, she

20

visited their Facebook page and was impressed by the variety of activities and events shared online.

Khadeeja decided to get involved and began attending the Thursday Women’s Group. Through this group, she started making new friends and building a supportive social network. Her participation in the organisation’s activities provided her with a sense of community and belonging.

One of the highlights of Khadeeja’s journey was her involvement in Digital Skills workshops. She found these sessions to be extremely beneficial and learned various digital skills, including how to navigate the internet, use social media platforms effectively, online safety, and perform online searches confidently.

Khadeeja reports that the digital skills she acquired have significantly increased her confidence in using online tools. This newfound confidence has enabled her to stay connected with friends and family, access information more easily, and participate more actively in the digital world. She has now become a volunteer and is starting to use her photography skills to record our events and share on social media.

21

Case Study – Parveen

Parveen is a single parent who has been living alone for the past year following her son’s marriage. She is taking medication for depression and has been reluctant to leave her home and talk to people. She has lost her mother, brother and nephew in one year a couple of years ago and is still struggling to come to terms with the loss.

Parveen heard about the Khush Amdid Monday and Thursday groups and, with travel support, has been attending occasionally. She has been encouraged to take part in events and completed the Food Hygiene Course, which she really enjoyed. She has used those skills in the Food Project. She says she feels like “I am waking up from a long sleep”. She is feeling “more human again” and “feels useful and that my opinion counts”.

Parveen has made a big effort to socialise again after a few years of isolating herself. She is feeling better in herself and beginning to enjoy life and looking forward to attending the groups. She is feeling more positive about life in general and is grateful for the support and help given to her by KA staff. She also says she felt welcomed in both groups and, as she did not know anyone there from before, she felt calmer about attending.

Case Study – SN

She is a mother of 5 children and had spent most of her life looking after family and her home. She had various health issues and was looking to join some groups or do some volunteering to improve her health.

SN started coming to the Thursday wellbeing group in 2024. She subsequently started volunteering with Khush Amdid and really enjoyed meeting other women and helping both plan and join in the activities and trips.

She is now working in 2 part time jobs and feels her self-confidence and knowledge has greatly increased due to her experiences with Khush Amdid. She feels she is more patient now and enjoys her life more. Her children are growing up and she is encouraging them to try new things. She has made new friends and joined other groups. She is now always encouraging other ladies to get out and about and be aware of the 5 ways to Wellbeing.

22

How we are Developing

This year has been more about consolidating the developments in year one than introducing yet more activities. We continue to be cognisant that diverse activities and opportunities to socialise must be at the heart of everything we run. We are always looking for new ideas to introduce and are introducing monthly events such as singing, quiz nights, museum and other educational/cultural outings. Our new exercise formats such as yoga, Tai Chi, and Pilates have proved beneficial to many of our participants and expanded their enjoyment.

We are always clear that, in order to maintain interest and attract new people, we must keep looking for both activities and new ways of delivery.

The larger group sizes, as we have expanded, have presented a logistical challenge on occasion but we have been very encouraged to see members encouraging and uplifting each other. This shows how important all the previous work to involve them in owning the activities and helping run them has been. It has led to a continued, supportive atmosphere fostering a sense of community and well-being, which we must always have foremost in our minds, especially with so much division being spread in some quarters.

The challenges of staffing continue to be there and, when our Health & Wellbeing Worker left, we looked at different options. In hindsight this was a mistake and we should just have recruited immediately. The post is being advertised again now.

We have, on occasion, also struggled with communication and, as we recognised last year, we need to continually monitor this across our organisation so that everyone is clear on their role and how that contributes to our success. We have introduced a fortnightly meeting with key staff, trustees and volunteers, which does help with front line planning. Regular updates on developments have gone to trustees but we still need to do more to ensure that the staff and volunteers feel supported by them.

The Voice initiative has started to build some momentum but we need to put in a regular meeting, at least monthly, and engage more volunteers. Volunteer feedback also shows that we need to offer an expanded training programme for them both within Khush Amdid and also identifying outside opportunities.

We are planning a new, monthly session at a new venue at West End Methodist Church to include social time and speakers. This was in direct response to a gap in that area identified by the Voice group.

We have introduced new opportunities for digital learning, with digital workshops covering on-line shopping, using social media, using Canva to design posters or newsletters and accessing Apps. We still need to do more on managing finances including sessions around budgeting, benefits and small enterprises to sell products.

We ran an awareness session on changes to the burial systems with the new statutory system for Medical Examiners looking to ensure the accuracy and scrutiny of death certifications. We are looking to bring in someone from Tameside Coroner’s

23

office, doctors and other interested parties to address this and ensure the community’s confidence in the system remains high.

We put more emphasis on community cohesion in our monthly events following the summer riots, looking to build better relationships, understanding and respect.

We have extended our partnership working, linking with Ashton Primary Care Network for health and wellbeing events; Active Tameside for exercise sessions; and Carers’ Centre to provide better information for our service users. We have learnt that such partnerships can grow our capacity without needing to use more staff of our own, but can also lead to increased resource, such as Active Tameside helping towards the funding of some of our exercise sessions.

The support from Action Together and Community Futures Trust has helped to improve our structure and skill up trustees, staff and volunteers. Seeing this has increased our understanding that we must skill up as many people across the organisation as possible, viewing their strengths as assets that can help us and the community meet the needs of different and more people.

As part of this, we have learnt that we must give even more women the opportunity to volunteer, improve their life skills and their confidence and self-efficacy to enable our community to thrive.
