Slgnlflcant activities
Tru5Y5 key physical assets are The Kindle Centre and the {sub-Let) SW MedlcallDental Centre.

The Klndle Centre Health and Well-belng Communlty Hub
In addition to raising income from office and room rental, the m05t important and affective use of The Kindle Centre is to
provide valued and needed seryices and support to tl* communlty partlcularly around Health and Wellbeing, living well
and improvin8 the quality of life of our resldents. The Kindle Centre also acts as a community resource offering intemet
access to the public, printing, photocopying, and ot￿r administration support serytces. Coverfng the core costs of
running The Kindle Centre and deliverlng communlty activities has been a balancin8 act at times, but the organisation has
worked hard over the years to develop a good community busi￿$$ model, improve efflclency and be more resilient.
Significant changes have been made to our system5 and the infrastructure of the buildin8 to improve our professionalism,
effic7er￿y, security, and safety at The Kindle Centre. The localitys multiple deprivations still offer considerable
opportunities and challenge5 for the Trust to continue to SUp￿rt the community particularly with the cost-of-llvlng crtsls,
poverty, intergration, social isolation and loneliness and mental ill health and the other signlficant events that are
happenlng in the world.
We have welcomed many peoAe to The Kindle Centre to attend meetings and activities and thls year we have seen a
considerable increase in people accessing our support with 50.000 people coming through the doors of the Kindle Centre
from April 2024 to March 2025. Approximately 95 different groups and organisations have used the Kindle Centre.
We have created a lively ¢￿ative Health and well-being hub and wort( closely with our partners particularly from the
NHS. L(Kal AutlM)rity and others.
The Kindle Centre has developed into a thriving Health and Well Being Hub utilising the Centre as an asset-based
approach that values the capacity. skills. knowledge. connections, and potential in a comtnunity to help find solutioThs to
health irwualities and find ways of mobilising these assets to achieve healthy lifestyle change ￿tcoMes. We suP￿rt and
enable residents to be Indep￿ent, enabling them to lead fulfilling live5 a￿1 helping the community to deliver their own
services.
In South Wye we understand that we needed to encourage our community to act on healthy lifestyle tehaviour change
particularly as the area has a significantly hi8her prevalence of health inequalities and larger prO￿rtIonS of children land
adults) who are 0￿se than other areas of the county. Alt￿U8h problems were identified, both universal mainstream
seryices and initiatives in the area have had limited impact on these issues which are COEnplex. involving social Th)rms of
behaviour and the wider determinants of health. We have always approached thi5 by recognising that many of the
solution5 lie within the community, abillty could be released and utilised given sufficient leve15 of sUPPOrt. We contirn
to worf( closely wlth our partner5 from the NHS and the Local Authorfty to utilise the Kindle Centre to deliver much
needed support encouraging our community to make healthy lIfest￿e cholce5.

SOCIAL ISOLATION AND LONELINESS
We have always been very mindful at South Wye Development Trust of lonellness and isolatlon and its significant and
growing issue amongst our population, and we see it daily in Scojth Wye. It is important to recognise that although
lonellness and isolation are two different concepts, both relate to ￿opLe5 sense of connection with others. At South Wye
Development Trust, we are all about "Connectlons." Isolation refers to separation from social or familial contact,
community involvement, or access to seryices. Lonellness, by contrast. can be understood a5 an individuals personal.
subjective sense of lacking these thlngs to the extent that they are wanted or needed. Loneline55 is deeply personal its
causes, consequences and it5 very existence are imp)ssible to determine without reference to the individual and their own
value5, need5. Wi5he5 and feeling5. We were and still are, all aware that Covid-19 caused Immense ISSLES In our communlty
