Chair’s Report

We have had yet another busy year at CfED and I would like to thank everyone who has contributed to our successes, to all the staff, volunteers, funders, partners, trustees and Board members, who have worked extremely hard to keep CfED going whilst facing significant challenges along the way.

In addition, we have this year had to contend with moving out from our Stone Street premises, where we have been for 40+ years, and finding somewhere new from where to carry on our good work. I am pleased to report that at the end of this year we made the move to pastures new – literally round the corner! – to Holloway Chambers in Priory Street, Dudley, and I would like to extend my thanks to everyone involved in the relocation.

I am pleased to report that we successfully completed the two major refugee resettlement projects for Afghan and Syrian refugees during this year and, in conjunction with Dudley MBC’s Directorate of Housing, we have been able to support and successfully resettle the affected families into our Dudley communities. We have also supported families hosting Ukrainian refugees and the refugees themselves to settle.

Our work over the course of the year is detailed in the rest of this Annual Report and I hope you enjoy learning more of what we have achieved, both with the projects and initiatives carried out and the very many individuals and families we have helped and supported through the Community Hub, which continues to be a lifeline for many of our service users, particularly in their dealings with statutory and other agencies.

I would like to end as I began by thanking all involved – staff, volunteers, funders, partners, Board members and trustees – for continuing their excellent work this year to make CfED a haven for our myriad communities in the borough.

• To support all our communities, traditional and newly emerging, to address the acknowledged inequalities in health, housing, prosperity, employment, and education.

Our Strategic aims and priorities
