## **Management Report April 23-March 24**
## **Introduction**
This was a year of change for West Chadsmoor Family Centre. We were preparing for the end of our Lottery Project known as Bright Beginnings that we had run in partnership with Spark in Burntwood. It had been a steep learning curve for ourselves as an organisation, as we had never worked in partnership before and has the most experienced partner we were the lead organisation which provided many challenges.
## **Bright Beginnings**
This was our first big lottery project which involved two centres and eight staff working across the two centres delivering activities for babies, toddlers, parents and the wider community. We are pleased to say that we
Company Registration No: 5485495 Charity No: 1116541
exceeded our target which was very rewarding. We have also had some very positive feedback from the families who have attended the lottery project. We also have some huge success stories that have been achieved has we come to the end of the project. Around 80% of the parents who use our service arrive to us with anxiety and depression and generally being overwhelmed with everyday life. To see these families turning their lives around, grow in confidence, realise that they are not on their own and build friendships where they support each other and generally improve their lives is amazing to watch.
Bright Beginnings was due to finish in August 23 but due to underspend it has now been extended to December 23. .
## **Cost of Living Fund**
In September of 2023 we were fortunate enough to secure this funding which will be running until August 24. This fund was of great benefit for the families and the wider community. We were able to support people with extra provisions of food and to make up packs for vulnerable families who contacted us who were in crises. At Christmas we were able to make up hampers for the Christmas period to make the season a little more enjoyable for needy people. The fund also allowed the centre to purchase new equipment for cooking and the kitchen. We purchased a new cooker and a fridge freezer for our centre both of which were very outdated. We were also able to offer food parcels to the wider community by advertising through our facebook page and respond to needs in the local area.
## **National Grid**
To further compliment the cost of living fund we received the warm home funding from National grid. This consisted of us compiling packs with blankets, foil panels for behind the radiators, radiator keys for bleeding radiators and draft excluders and heavy curtains. To help vulnerable people make their homes as warm as possible through the winter months.
## **Staff**
We continued to have the same staff team through the 23/24 year who continue to be a support and serve the Family Centre very well. The team consists of three Family workers delivering activities to our families. We have a one to one worker, known as a Family Community worker. She runs groups for our families who need extra support and works one to one with families in crises. We also have an office coordinator and a manager overseeing the running of the centre. We thank them for their continued support and commitment to the Family Centre.
## **Funding**
We had an uncertain year regarding funding in the 23/24 period has the lottery project was coming to an end and we needed to secure long term funding for the future. We were fortunate to secure several short term funding pots which formed a bridging point while we applied for longer term funding. By March of 2024 we had applied for a second lottery project and were awaiting a decision.
## **Conclusion**
In short we had a very busy year trying to manage several different funds all at the same time. We also had to plan for the future at the end of the lottery fund and keep all of our activities running to support our families. In conclusion we supported around 300 people in the year 23/24 and continue to be the frontline service for vulnerable f
