**Annual Report 2020/2021** **Supporting homeless and adults at risk for** ## **A word from the Chair, Julie Reed** Welcome to our Annual Report, in my second year of Chairmanship we have had an extremely challenging year with the Worldwide Pandemic affecting all of us in different ways. We had to close our doors and take our service out into the community as we were put into National lockdown. As you would expect the staff rolled up their sleeves and adapted quickly to a new way of working, the Government called for all homeless people to be taken in and given accommodation. Many of our service users had great difficulty with this as they needed a lot of additional support as they were placed in sometimes unfamiliar locations. We delivered hot meals, toiletries, clothing and activity packs to around 30 people per day, we dealt with referrals to other agencies and carried out safe and well checks. They really appreciated a friendly face and many were able to move onto more secure accommodation, others remain in temporary placements whilst The Forge and North Lincs Council work together to try and help them become tenants and move into a healthier life-style. Many of our volunteers are retired and were shielding so Trustees stepped up and those that could gave more time to The Forge Project and actively helped on the frontline, my personal thanks to our Board members for their hard work and flexibility as we, like the rest of the country, switched to online meetings. As soon as we could we re-opened and enabled those all important one to one appointments with our staff, Scunthorpe Mind, Housing Advice and Drug and alcohol services using our building as a safe base from which to work with the homeless. We are proud of our partnership working and thank all of those who collaborate with us in our shared aim of giving everyone a chance to make a choice and change their lives. The coming year will again be a challenge as we move out of the pandemic and seek to secure financial stability and deliver our impressive remodelling plans for the building which will further support the work of partners. There will be new doors, windows and lobby, a new kitchen, a refurbished dining room which can be used for activities in the afternoons, 2 new consultation rooms for confidential work which partners can use and a new garden area and car park security fencing. We continue with our aspirational journey to be the “Centre of excellence for the homeless in North Lincolnshire” and are thankful that we have made it through the pandemic and can now refocus our efforts as we mark 25 years of serving the homeless. I should like to record my thanks to Andrea and the team for their hard work and we are pleased to welcome back our army of volunteers as they return to the Forge. We also thank our many donators large and small who have financially supported us throughout the year without whom we simply could not deliver our wide range of services and support.

The Trustees ensure that The Forge Project’s compliance abides by relevant legislation and regulation. ## **A brief history of The Forge Project Day Centre** The Forge Project first opened its doors to homeless people 25 years ago as a ‘Soup Kitchen’ run by the congregation of New Brumby Methodist Church. The people who ran it soon realised that those attending had complex support needs and they needed more specialist support. They employed a Development Worker who identified the support needs of those attending and successfully applied for funding to the Single Regeneration Fund for three years funding and gradually more people were employed. Successful funding for another three years was received further staff were employed. In October 2010, The Forge Project became an independent charity registered with the Charities Commission. We adopted a new logo with the strapline ‘Opportunity for Change’ - indicating that we offer those who attend our services the opportunity for change and by working with them they have the chance of a better life. Working with a positive strengths approach we build trust, then confidence, then skills and emotional well-being. For some this a very long journey and our ambition is to offer dedicated, holistic and in-depth work with them for 12 months or however long it takes to get them into a better, safer and healthier lifestyle. The Forge Project has grown from strength to strength with various other funding from grant funders and with a large grant from the Big Lottery in 2018. With the onset of the Covid-19 pandemic in March 2020 we realised that in order to continue to support those in need there would need to be changes in our service delivery. We had to evaluate, re-design and adapt our services. We have changed for being ‘here for all’ to being dedicated to supporting those people who are rough sleeping, those that are homeless, those at risk of homelessness and those transitioning into new tenancies after long periods of sleeping on the streets. ## **DAY CENTRE** As the national lockdowns were announced and rough sleepers were placed in emergency/temporary accommodation they found it impossible to access food as food outlets were closed. From the onset of the first lockdown and subsequent lockdowns staff cooked and delivered food to them. Staff also delivered essential clothing, hygiene packs and wellbeing activity packs. At the point of delivery staff were able to monitor the physical and mental health of the service users and offer any other support. As the procurement of PPE and food resources were vital to enable us to deliver the food and essential items The Forge Project was successful in acquiring funding from the National Emergencies Trust and the National Lottery Covid Fund and this enabled us to continue support those in need. As the lockdowns were lifted we provided a hot meal through the door and service users were able to come into the building to access support services on an individual basis. Three lockdowns, however, have meant that we have not always been able to open our doors as a Day Centre or able to offer the afternoon activities and volunteering opportunities. It has not always been easy for staff to see service users eating their meals outside but at least they were able to get a meal, be referred into the Severe Weather Emergency Protocol (SWEP) and access the building to speak to Forge Project staff or staff from partner agencies in order to meet their needs. Again, staff were able to monitor the service users’ physical and mental wellbeing during this time. Many partner agencies were closed and working remotely. Donations of Perspex screens and barriers enabled The Forge Project to offer a Covid-19 safe building to meet with service users. Workers from the local authority Homeless Outreach Team, the floating support service, workers from social housing etc. were able to meet with clients in a safe environment, allowing interviews (faceto-face or virtual) for potential tenancies, re-/engagement with services, or speaking to other agencies. The ability to adapt services and collaborative partnership working enabled clients to access the vital wrap around services that they needed to cope with life during a time of national hardship for everyone but especially for the most marginalised people in our community. One of the positive things to come out of the pandemic is the collaborative partnership working that has taken place between The Forge Project staff and the local authority Homeless Outreach Team. A member of staff from the local drug and alcohol agency, We Are With You, was seconded two days a week with the Homeless Outreach Team during this time. ‘Drop-in’ services have taken place during the times when lockdown were lifted and collaborative working has meant that anyone presenting homeless at The Forge Project has been able to have immediate contact in order to work towards resolving their homelessness issues. We understand that good outcomes rely on good partnerships and it takes a complete partnership of agencies to turn the lives of our service users around. Over the past year, with the challenges brought to our services with Covid-19, this has given us the opportunity to further adapt our service and increase the level of partnership working. We work very closely with the local authority Homeless Outreach Team, the local Housing Advice Team, the local authority Housing Related Support Service, Drug and Alcohol Service, the local supported housing providers, RESET, the local Street Workers Project and Scunthorpe Mind to broaden the services offered. We have worked hard on capitalising on this partnership working and the unique contribution that our project makes to the local support system. From the beginning of the year staff have worked in partnership with the Homeless Outreach Team and the local CCG to provide a safe place for service users to attend and have a Covid-19 vaccination and to speak to qualified staff about Covid-19 and vaccinations. ## **Community Project Worker** “I began as Community Project Worker on 1[st] January, since this time I have been able to support in association with Citizens Advice Bureau, 5 EU foreign nationals to apply and obtain Settled or Pre-Settled status and visiting them in their temporary accommodation enabled me to identify people the EU nationals needing settled or pre-settled status. During Lockdown 3 as part of the Community Project Worker role, I delivered meals on a daily basis to the people that had been temporarily housed in Bed and Breakfasts around Scunthorpe, this enabled me to keep in touch with service users and work in collaboration with Support Workers from the Homeless Outreach Team and Housing Related Support. This meant that service users did not fall through the any gaps in services and also could be referred to specialist services if they found themselves in need.” . ‘ **Severe Weather Emergency Protocol (SWEP)** During periods of severe cold weather, emergency accommodation is provided by the local authority, through Anvil House, a building that is owned and run by Framework. This can be accessed either by contacting the Housing Advice Team directly or coming to The Forge Project. Support staff can refer people into this every morning and there are six emergency beds available. At the beginning of the pandemic this service was still open although restricted to two people although many rough sleepers had been placed in emergency accommodation. It opened again on 19[th] May and provided a Covid-19 safe place for people to spend the night. ## **Afternoon Activities** The Forge Project usually offers afternoon activities not only to those attending the Day Centre but those members of the community who are vulnerable and need more community involvement. Community members are also encouraged to volunteer during these activity sessions, sharing their skills with service users, building on confidence and self-esteem for both parties. Unfortunately, Covid-19 meant that we were not able to offer these activities which in addition to the pandemic meant that service users were not able to access these vital services. These activities help to reduce social isolation and build on resilience and were greatly missed by service users. We look forward when we will again be able to provide these activities. **Sheffield Hallam University Occupational Therapy Students** In February 2020 two BSc Occupational Therapy students started placements at The Forge Project. They attended three days per week in order to get to know the services that we provide and our service users. The intention was for them to communicate with service users and to develop, provide and evaluate an intervention for six weeks during the afternoon activities. Covid-19 situation meant that the students had to stop attending The Forge Project frontline service but in communication with the University it was agreed that the students would be able to continue their placement remotely liaising with the long arm supervisor and the on-site supervisor. One of the students compiled an activity booklet for service users to use during isolation to promote positive mental wellbeing and also giving them information on how to stay safe during the lockdown period. Another student came on placement in September 2020 and working both remotely and attending in between lockdowns she completed her placement and developed an intervention that was very useful for both services users and staff. ## **VOLUNTEERING** As many of our volunteers fell into the ‘at risk’ area during the pandemic it meant that most of our wonderful volunteers were not able to volunteer. The volunteers really missed their time working at The Forge Project. This meant that the staff had to take on the majority of the work previously carried out by the volunteers. However, we did have volunteers who kindly gave their time to deliver the hot food and essential items out to service users who were placed in temporary emergency accommodation. A word from one of these volunteers …. A word from a volunteer during the last year… “As a volunteer I was very happy to help with this by providing my services to drive the staff members around the community helping deliver these meals and ensuring the wellbeing of everybody. We did this five days a week and it was great to see everybody safe, warm and well through this period. To be involved in a project like this giving to others and helping where you can has given me a lot of personal satisfaction especially knowing that you have helped those less fortunate than you during a really difficult time for them and others.” ## **The Impact of The Forge Project** We were not able to open our doors to our service users during the national lockdowns but staff delivered food and essential items to those most in need and staff were able to monitor their physical and mental wellbeing and offer support to those in need. When lockdowns lifted but regional restrictions were still in place, food was given out ‘through the door’ and service users were supported on an individual basis in our Covid-19 safe building. Over the past year The Forge Project supported a total of 197 unique clients, 5,357 points of contact with service users and 4,537 meals were either delivered to service users or served at the Day Centre. **71** People were rough sleeping **148** were male **49** were female **12** were European **84** had substance **19** had alcohol issues misuse issues **During this time:** 65 sleeping bags were given out 688 pieces of clothing were given out 37 referrals to the Food Bank 273 crisis parcels were given out 216 Toiletries were given out 188 referrals into SWEP 357 individual support sessions 133 were supported by outside agencies During each of the three lockdowns 90 crisis food parcels were distributed, 94 sets of essential clothing were given out, 85 wellbeing packs were issued, 95 packs of vital hygiene products were given out. A word from one of the service users during this time.. “It was a lifeline when we were in lockdown. When I realised that you would be coming five days a week I knew that I would be getting food, seeing people that I knew and trusted to talk to, it made my time in the b and b more bearable both physically and mentally .” The Forge Project staff continued to represent and advocate for service users at all the local multi-agency meetings through Teams throughout the year. ## **Everyone deserves a place to call home** ## **Over the past year The Forge Project staff have supported in collaboration with other agencies:** 87 people into emergency and temporary accommodation 29 people into supported accommodation 29 people secured a rented home ## **CASE STUDY** A 62 year old man came to The Forge Project as he was completely roofless following his release from prison. The Forge Project staff made a referral for him into a project called SWEP (Severe Weather Emergency Protocol) which is a night provision which allows homeless people to be referred on a daily basis to access a bed between the hours of 8.30pm and 8.00am. This leaves 11.5 hours every day for a person in this situation to find somewhere to be, to keep warm and dry or access food. It is very hard physically, mentally and emotionally to be outdoors for this amount of time every day, particularly during the winter months and especially for older homeless people. The Forge Project staff supported this man throughout this time and a successful referral into the local social housing provider meant that he moved into his own one bedroomed property, with wrap around support from his housing provider, the local authority’s Housing Related Support and a Mental Health Social Worker too. **Working in partnership with other agencies** We understand that it takes a complete partnership of agencies to turn the lives of our service users around and over the past year, with the challenges brought to our services with Covid-19, this has given us the opportunity to further adapt our service and increase the level of partnership working. We work very closely with the local authority Homeless Outreach Team, the local Housing Advice Team, the local authority Housing Related Support Service, Drug and Alcohol Service, the local supporting housing providers, RESET, the local Street Workers Project and Scunthorpe Mind to broaden the services offered. Good outcomes rely on good partnership work. That’s why we focus our attention on ‘getting our bit right’ – in other words, the unique contribution that the project makes to the local service system. Recently, The Forge Project have been working in partnership with the Homeless Outreach Team and the local CCG to provide a safe place for service users to attend and have a Covid-19 vaccination and to speak to qualified staff about Covid-19 and vaccinations. **Working with others – Thank you to our partners for working alongside us** Partnerships and close working relationships ensure that we provide the highest quality of service for people to transform their lives. People attending the Day Centre find it better meeting other agencies at The Forge Project as they see it as a safe environment. **A few words from some of our partner agencies….** James Jellinek, Assistant Group Manager – Housing Advice & Support, North Lincolnshire Council "It has been a year of incredible challenges for the community as a whole, and more so for the most vulnerable, yet through this adversity we have seen the power of partnership working at the core of what we have been able to achieve together. The hugely successful ‘Everyone In’ programme put a renewed focus on cross-agency cooperation to tackle the complex root causes of rough sleeping. The Forge Project have been an integral part in our ability to accommodate and provide the vital support that has been so essential in delivering the success of the programme here in North Lincolnshire. The commitment that has been shown throughout this year has given us a platform to build on, strengthening our local partnerships that were developed during the pandemic – providing rough sleepers with a route off the street for good. We must ensure we build on this progress further as we recover from the pandemic and continue our tight-knit work with partners such as The Forge Project to offer all rough sleepers a chance to sustain a life off the streets. Together with The Forge Project we now aspire to focus our efforts on providing the right opportunities, to the right people, at the right time, to allow those individuals affected to rebuild their lives away from the streets." ## **North Lincolnshire MIND** North Lincolnshire Mind has been working In partnership with The Forge Project for 3yrs and Jason Coy, the Mental Health Link Worker has attended one day per week. “ During this time it has been possible for us to build a rapport with some of the more vulnerable and at risk people in the community who use the service. “Engagement with service users has been implemented in a variety of ways over the past year. The majority of our support has been given over the telephone with people that were directed via The Forge Project staff but as the lockdowns lifted we were able to re-attend one morning a week during day centre hours. This enabled us to speak to people on a face-to-face basis in a Covid-19 safe environment. Over the past year many people have felt a greater sense of isolation and their mental health has deteriorated and the need for our collaborative working has been greatly needed. As a result several individuals have accessed other services within North Lincolnshire Mind, such as the out of hours **Haven Project** for support and crisis prevention, **Connecting Minds** reducing isolation as well as engaging with statutory service providers such as General Practitioners, Department for Work and Pensions, Mental Health, Drug and Alcohol, Probation services to name but a few.” John male 58, risk of homelessness, depression/anxiety, EUPD, Alcohol missuse/dependency, suicidal ideation, abuse, trauma, debt. **Services accessed & Current situation;** Receiving ongoing support for mental ill health and loneliness, one to one support (phone at present), using the Haven out of hours service for support and crisis provention with regular engagement, accessing Connecting Minds improving wellbeing encouraging hobbies and interests. Referred to and engaged with Housing Related Support Team (Social Care Services). No longer drinking, working with/engaging debtors. **What they say;** ‘Thanks for the support, I have a tendency to bury my head in the sand when problems come up and I just can’t cope, it’s often the little things that get to me. I know I can call, get help and someone will give me support and listen. **Christmas at The Forge Project 2020** Christmas Day usually takes lots of organising and is a really enjoyable day at The Forge Project so arranging a Christmas lunch where people would be eating outside and no volunteers could be involved felt quite sad and challenging. Taking Covid-19 risk assessments into consideration meant that staff were the only people allowed inside the building but fair weather helped out a lot on the day, Service users sat on the wall outside to eat their delicious meal. Afterwards Christmas gifts were provided by Poppy, a wonderful 14 year old girl from Crowle with a huge heart. It was certainly a different celebration to the one we usually provide but despite this it was a nice day and the service users enjoyed themselves. ## **The Forge Project Finances** **Statement of Financial Activities for the year ended 31[st] March 2021** |||Note|**Unrestricted**

Members of the general public drop off rucksacks and items at arranged drop-off points. Kim collects them and her family have to live with them in their house until the project date. As with every other year the items were gratefully received by homeless people and we would like to thank everyone involved. **Donations of food items** Supporters of The Forge Project, Celia and friends, donate homemade baked goods each week for the service users. Many thanks ladies. At the beginning of the pandemic we thought that we would be low on food donations but people kept turning up at front door with donations of money and food to enable us to keep supporting those in need in our community. We would like to send out to all those people who have supported us over this difficult year. ## **Harvest Festivals** We would like to send out a huge thank you to not only those who regularly donate food items to the project but the schools and Churches who always remember us at Harvest Festival time and throughout the year. We have had the support of many corporate and small businesses over the past year and they have donated money and food produce to us. Charitable organisations have consistently supported us throughout the year. People have found a way to continue to support us even through adversity. At the beginning of the pandemic an anonymous person kept bringing money to the door on a weekly basis. The photo of the carrots opposite is just one example of the many kind donations left by the general public. ## **How you can help** **Fundraising – Get in touch with us to get our Fundraising Pack** ## **Fundraising** If you would like to fundraise for the project, whether you are running a marathon or baking cakes you could raise money by doing what you like to do.
