West Chadsmoor Family Centre
Annual report 20 25
Introduction
We have continued to build on our activities through the funding from the national lottery and are now offering more activities than in previous years. This has expanded our reach to the vulnerable families and the support we offer locally. We continue to be busy in our activities and now offer 10.5 sessions a week in 3.5 days.
New staff
Our two new staff that joined us in August 2024 are now established in the team. Our family community worker replaced Jacky our previous community worker. Chris our new community worker has established two new groups since arriving. Our new family worker is a young lady just starting out and is learning the role has she goes.
Our family community worker has become very established and trusted by our families. She works with the families one to one, at the centre, in their homes or out in the community. She is constantly in touch with them on the phone and in person. She has established two new groups since arriving at the centre. A Pam’s group (peer and mentor support)for the parents who need the most support and this is supported by a crèche to give parents a bit of me time. This has given some very vulnerable families a great deal of support and helped them learn to deal with their challenges.
Her second group is called ABC and support families with new born babies up to 13months old. The meet as a group and discuss all the topics that new parents have concerns over and the group is then facilitated by Chris. This group just keeps growing and is very popular. It is run at the family hub which makes the family centre visible in the local community.
Activities on Offer
We aim to offer a mixture of baby groups, toddler activities, holiday sessions and peep sessions which can be for either babies or toddlers. The peep programme is a relaxed parenting course with a set programme of resources, these help parents understand the needs their child has when developing.
For the adults we offer education through simple crafts, cooking and sewing. This helps prepare people for further education or work and simply how to learn and the basics of studying.
Extra to this we have a weekly community table which serves our families and the wider community. On average we have 25 to 30 people queueing for food each week. This equates to around a 100 people per week when you consider most people have an average of four people per household.
We also have a brunch club on a Monday morning where both the families and the wider community can attend for free breakfast.
Board development
Over the twelve month period the board has been going through a period of change and development. The chairperson who had been in post for many years stepped down from her post and a new chairperson was appointed. We had two new people join the board at the previous AGM and we agreed some amendments to our memorandum and articles including time served as an officer and how many meetings could be missed before being removed from the board.
The board has also being working with Support Staffordshire on developing skills for the work of the board and strategies to help develop a stronger organisation for the future.
Funding
We are now in the second year of our Blossom and Flourish lottery project, which, is our main funding pot. We have also secured funding from Awards for all, Children in need, cadent, Baron Davenport. These are smaller pots of money which provide for the smaller projects we have running alongside the lottery project.
Changes
The manager has been employed for nearly 30 years and retired at Christmas. A management team has been formed to take the centre forward. A new person has been employed to take the place of the manager and the office co- coordinator; the community table co-ordinator will form a management team.
Conclusion
In conclusion it has been a busy year. We are supporting more people than ever due to the economy causing people to struggle more and deal with more complex situations.
The Family centre itself is going through a period of change and preparing for the future with new management, a stronger board allowing for the centre to be developing for the next steps in its journey.
