OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES
Objectives and aims
The FaÈrfield and Howley Neighbourho(xl Project (hereafter called The Old School) is a not-for-profit charity that aims to
support, develop and encourage lifelong learning, creative ans and community aclivity. We do this by offering affordable.
safe and accessible spaces and rooms for cotntnunithes to hire and rent.
ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE
Charitable activities
We have been operating for over 10 years and have buih up a gI￿d relationship wilh a wide variety of community groups
and local charities in Warrington. This is one of out key sirengihs. in particular offering Spaces on a long-term lease basis io
charities such as Hornestart. The Visually Impaired Centre, Creating Adventures and Maclntyre as well as room hire to U3A,
scout5, dance troops, mums and tots etc. We are based in the heart of one of the more deprived are&$ of Warrington,
Fairfield ond Howl¢y ward, one of the 6 Wdrds in Warrington within th¢ top 2￿/0 most deprived. We have been very flexible
in temis of supporting local food insecurity initiatives, setting up the Bread and Butter programme to deliver from the
building every Friday morning. as well &5 identifying this a% a need for our local population we also. saw this as an
opportunity to encourage the footfall of local ￿pIe. One of our Challenges has been people identifying the building as a
community asset that can be utilised as a resource io suptM)rt wple in ¢risis and struggling though the cost-of-living crisis.
We have also run the HAF programme from the centre which engaged new families local to the aTea. Working with partners
at WV A we regularly deliver Soup & Chal to provide a 5af¢ space for PEople who are lonely and isolated to make social
connections and for those strnggling with he*ing bills to come in for a warni.
The main chall¢nge for The Old Schwl in the last financial year h&$ been the Cost of rurLning the building to kttp it viable,
the significant increase in the cost Of tunning the building. and slow start In tertns of wups retuming after Covid, noi all of
them have and we have also found that some group5 run less sessions as rheir mem1￿rS struggle 10 pay subslfees. At the
beginning of 2023 we increased our leaselrent cos4 still keeping the spaces affordable but also to ensure we could cover
costs.
