## **Introduction and Chair’s Report** 

## **Welcome to Cheetham Hill Advice Centre’s annual report for 2022-2023** 

This has been an extremely busy year with challenges seemingly coming from every direction. The cost of living crisis has had a hugely negative impact on our community. The increasing costs of petrol, food and utility bills have stretched already small budgets even tighter. These increases have been accompanied by large increases in rent costs that mean many people now don’t have enough money for the essentials needed to live. 

being able to contact us over the phone and so we have continued to provide advice in this way. The community were also clear that there are times when they want to speak to someone face-to-face. 

We acted upon the information shared by increasing the number of days when people can come in and speak directly to someone without an appointment, we have registered with official bodies so we can distribute money to people who need it, we have increased the number of applications we make for people to trust funds and grants for individuals and have delivered targeted sessions for priority areas that arise (e.g. applying for school uniforms before the end of the school year, understanding council tax bills and negotiating payment of any council tax debt when the annual bills come out). We have also increased our work around utility debt. 

## **Key achievements** 

We consulted with members of our community to guide our response to the cost of living crisis. People told us that they were not able to afford the increased costs of food shopping, that they were struggling with utility bills and that they were no longer able to meet the costs of large purchases and one-off costs. Members of the community told us that they appreciated 


We are pleased to continue in our successful partnership with Citizens Advice Manchester and Shelter. We have worked with our partners and the Commissioner to gather evidence on the need and effectiveness of the citywide advice contract. The contract for this essential work was extended by two years and will now run until the end of March 2024. 

We have needed to replace three large grants ending between 202223. We spent a year consulting with the community, commissioning independent evaluations, analysing data on inequalities and speaking to partner agencies. We are very pleased to have been successful in replacing all the funding that came to an end. As a grassroots, anchor organisation this has meant we are able to continue to provide support delivered in the under-funded parts of north Manchester. This has provided us with stability and security at a time when our community have needed us more than ever. 

## **Our thanks** 

We are grateful to all of our funders, our partners, our staff team, our volunteers and our trustees. We have really appreciated the extra efforts everyone has brought in, our responses to the challenges of inflated costs, increased inequalities and reduced quality of life. I would like to extend my especial appreciation to the team of staff and volunteers who assisted everyone who came to CHAC for help. Your efforts this year have seen us help an increased number of people to achieve a massive number of outcomes. These have made a significant difference and has meant that people have survived the uncertainty of the last year and will enter the new year in a more protected position. 

The team at CHAC have made a significant difference this year and has meant that people have survived the uncertainty of the last year and will enter the new year in a more protected position.

## **Contacting CHAC** 

four days a week 10am until 1pm. This allowed people to bring in documents, show us letters/ emails of concern and allow them to either be helped immediately, booked an appointment for help or signposted to the best service for them. We are very proud to now offer help either over the telephone or face to face. 

In the year CHAC adapted to the needs of the local community to change the way people could contact us for help and support with their issues. Listening to feedback that people wanted to return to be able to drop by for help we implement a face-to-face reception session

I first went to CHAC in April 2022, I am 70 years old, and found myself homeless, having to sofa surf between friends and with no income other than a small pension of £100 each month. 

and with a household support grant from Manchester City Council. 

I have now been rehoused into supported living accommodation, I am getting Pension Credit and Housing Benefit. When I look back to before I sought help, I was homeless and I did not have money to buy food or any basic supplies. 

CHAC helped me complete a housing application and to contact the Council, who were able to temporarily house me in a hotel. 

Now I have had a backdate of over £12,000 which has meant I could buy furniture and other essential goods. CHAC have completely turned my life around, I am not sure what I would have done without their help, I am so thankful. 

The team helped me make an application for Attendance Allowance and for Pension Credit. While waiting for responses from both of these they helped me with foodbank vouchers

## **Meaningful impact** 

At CHAC we provide advice on a range of problems. This means that positive change happens in lots of different parts of people’s lives. We ask people to tell us what has changed for them after they have been helped by CHAC. People have reported outcomes that are easy to measure such as reduced debt but they also talk about improvements in longer term changes like increased in confidence, improved health and feeling more able to cope. 


The claim you supported me with has made a massive effect on my life, it’s a huge pressure lifted. 


The advisors are very polite, respectful and supportive, they have handled my case professionally.

## **You Said | We Did** 

work with a focus on the views of the people in our community. We used all of this information to guide our development and our response to the cost-ofliving crisis. Below is a table with the four priority areas that our community identified, along with a description of what we did and the impact of this. 

We spent time this year speaking to members of our community about concerns and priorities. We appreciate all the feedback and suggestions for the future that were shared with us. We also commissioned independent evaluation of our

reduced and they applied to the household support fund for me. 

I am a single parent living in Manchester. Since my partner left, I have been struggling to make ends meet. I have health problems, including depression, living month to month and barely being able to afford essential living costs has further exacerbated my health conditions. When all my children were in education, I was able to find a part-time job and this has helped to increase my income, however I am limited to the hours I can work and I still rely on benefits to top up my income. 

We completed a budget and the adviser suggested several ways in which I could save money, they applied for concessionary bus passes for five of my children to provide free transport to their schools, they have helped me think of new ways to do my shopping and save money on this. 

My water bill has now been capped which has saved me over £600 per year and I have been added to a Priority Services Register. I have also saved money on travel costs and household shopping. My budget is now balanced and I feel I have money to last me to the end of the month. I was awarded a grant of £400 from the Household Support Fund, this allowed me to buy Christmas presents and buy clothing for my children. 

I came to Cheetham Hill Advice Centre and was seen straight away. The adviser went through my situation and we completed a budget, they then checked my benefits were correct and helped to see if I could claim Personal Independence Payment, together we ordered the form and I had an appointment with their specialist to complete this form. The advisor contacted the water company to see if my bill could be 

I am so grateful for the help that I received, I feel it has reduced my stress levels, and improved my health and my whole family’s lives.

## **Volunteers** 

In the past year we have had 30 dedicated volunteers who have given up 1,352 hours of their precious time. Volunteers have helped advise residents, complete paper and on-line applications for them, answer the phones, interpret and help with other essential administrative tasks. 

Between them they spoke 7 languages and were able to provide much needed help in people’s first language. 

We had 9 of our volunteers in this year who were successful in gaining paid employment, 4 of these in the charity/advice sector. This is testament to their hard work and commitment along with the skills they developed during their time at CHAC. 

Every time I volunteer, I learn something new and make a positive impact on people’s lives. My efforts are always appreciated by the dedicated staff. 




I am volunteering with CHAC because it is driven by the passion of helping others. 



I’ve learnt a lot from volunteering at CHAC. The team are patient with me and have supported my learning. I believe whatever your difficulties or barriers are you should not give up and should fight. CHAC have helped me with my own barriers and I am so happy to help others. 



I love to work with you all. The working environment is very nice, and all people are friendly. I can meet new people, get to know them, getting new knowledge every time. I love to explore new people, work for them with you. I want to enhance my capabilities. 

## **Reaching out to the community** 

As a charity we have diversified how we engage with the community over the last year. The cost-of-living crisis has increased demand for our services and has also led to people needing our help who have not previously contacted us. To increase our reach we have begun to deliver engagement sessions in our community. These are free sessions that we run at community groups and events across North Manchester. We take part in the planning and running of the annual Cheetham Festival and get involved in other events. In March we were delighted to be involved in the International Women’s Day event that took place at the Guidance Hub on Waterloo Road, Cheetham. Here we were able to promote our free advice service and speak to the community about their needs.

responded by increasing our front-line capacity, focusing our debt work, providing advice on utility
costs and increasing applications to grants and trust fund5 lor individuals. We began running
'receptions' four days a week so that people c3n come and see us face-to-face with new problern5.
