HISTORY
Norris Green Community Alliance was established in 2008 by a group of residents who mobilised the
wider community to tackle current and emerging issues. Despite all the challenges taking place at the
time, there remained a strong resilient communrty who came together to make decisions about what
their community needed to change to move the way forward. From the very beginning we recruited
volunteers who were part of this group and who still remain active in their community to this day.
OBJECTIVES AND AIMS
The Charitable company's principal objectives are to develop the capacity and skills of the members of
the socially and economically disadvantaged community of Norris Green in Liverpool in such a way
that they are better able to identify, and help meet, their needs and to participate more fully in society.
As a local independent charity and embedded community hub we offer a range of evolving provisions
that meet multiple needs. We focus however in particular upon - reliving poverty and hardship through
advice, advocacy, training, worf(ing in partnership with other providers such as Feeding Liverpool and
CAB, as well as offering access to social activities for participants to relive isolation and improve their
wellbeing, activities for 'middle years, children and young people and building community involvement
in the running of community groups. These activities give them ownership of their community and that
contributes to the regeneration of such area.
ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE
Norris Green Community Alliance has continued to tackle current challenges, and adapt, diversify and
support the Norris Green community. During this past year changes to our charity activities and ServI￿S
have resulted in us helping and supporting many more residents in several different ways.
This report gives a brief overview of some of the changes, achievements and overall perfomiance and
how we continue to maintain high quality services and the delivery of a range of diverse activities to
support our community and beneficiaries to help them meet the new challenges we have seen continue
with the impact of the 'Cost of Living Crisis,.
Giving support to the community helps them maintain their day to day lives and move forward in a
positive manner for the benefit of themselves and their communities. All our serrfices and new services
have been welcomed by our community and this is reflected in the various additional projects and
activities we have undertaken. This has seen a massive impact of our organisation and staff time.
This year has been very demanding for our staff with changes to staff leaving and new staff coming into
post, and the increase in need and demand for services and activities. Key areas highlighted with most
need included mental health, food and financial hardship and access to children's activities. This list is
not exhaustive and priorities change regularly. We continue to work in partnership with 'Feeding
Liverpool 'and the CAB (utility top ups) through the Household Support Scheme which is in its 6th round
includes supporting families with weekly food parcels, community meals, further support for utilities. and
debt working with Energy project Plus and Norris Green Debt advi￿.
We have noticed that there is an increase in the issuing of Food Bank Vouchers and additional foods
from our weekly Fare Share and Food Social (additional foods and bread, pastries, vegetables). Weekly
food deliveries are in the region of 600 households, with over 1392 community meals and offer of weekly
surplus foods to our community anyone who needs this, at Ellergreen Community Centre. We still use
Energy Project which can help right off utility debt in special cases. This figure is reduced as many more
people and families have become eligible for the Household Support scheme round 6 which offers up to
£250 grants towards their utility account through our [partnership with the CAB. We are very thankful to
have staff and committed volunteers in pla￿ to continue to deliver the food stuff, community interest
activities to support and develop the ward and individuals.

A message from the Chair of Norris Green Community Alliance Board.
This year has been busy as usual for everyone at the Norris Green Community Alliance. We had a
change to the staffing in the office as our Offi￿ manager started a new job, but the hard work and
commitment of Denise and Miranda have ensured that the community services we provide were still

In May we had local elections and 3 rEw Councillors were elected to represent Norris Green. Because
all of the Councillors were new, they couldn't commit to funding for our annual carnival. Hopefully they
will help fund some of the Christmas aclivilies.
We still support and work in partnership with Sparrowhall though the boundary has changes, we are
still providing after school clubs and summer holiday play schemes in all of our three clubs, Scargreen,
Norris Green Youth Centre and Sparrowhall. We have been part of the HAF scheme again this year
and it has proved to be very much needed in the dubs. We have been providing hot meals and snacks
for the children and also providing food bags for some of the parents. For some of the children this is
the only hot meal they will receive during the school l)olidays.
Our mental health coordinator, Sandra, has run quite a few courses throughout the year including
bereavement counselling, mental health awareness, assertiveness courses and a listening ear
service.
As Chair of the Board of Trustees I would like to take this opportunity on behalf of myself and the
whole Board to thank our office staff. play staff. volunteers and partners for their hard work and
dedication."
PLANS FOR THE FUTURE PERIODS
We continue to support our community in the best ways we can by ensuring our servI￿s, and will be
working hard to increase our partners arKI referral agencies for the benefit of our community. We have
been Successful in being awarded a further 3 years funding from the Henry Smith Charity who have
supported us tirelessly over the last 6 years. There are major changes as to how the Youth and Play
Grant and Community Resources grant is to be charKJed into one grant going forward too. As we are
very lucky to receive funds from both these grants it will be interesting in how these pans out. We have
also re￿iVed funds through the John Moore's Foundation next year to increase our admin support
services and further funds from Feeding LNerpool. Hopefulty this will give us a positive start to next year
which will be quite challenging with the'cost of Living. aisis taking its toll on our community, government
changes, and the budgets at LCC (being optimislic!). We are hoping that we receive these additional
funds to enable us to continue working hard to ease the situation in our community. We are grateful for
the further funds that will help support this. Vvhilst our community has shown great resilience in dealing
with the challenges over the last 2 years we are hopeful that 2025-26 will bring just rewards for all and
we hope we will all be in a better pla￿.
We have continued to reach out to most of the people we know and have worked with and welcome
new users to engage in our activities and supporting those back into our activities. Attendance is
extremely good. We have changed our direclions constantly to identify, engage and accommodate
more activities and projects that we feel are needed in the community and the gaps in delivery. This
current year has again brought many new challenges. In the main challenges with hardship and poverty
are affecting everyone and we are doing our very best to support people as much as we are able. We
continue to see a rise in housing evictions, antFsocial behaviour and unemployment which present
further challenges. On the positive side we have maintained very close links with the local housing
organisation Cobalt who are putting additional furKls into the community to tackle some of these and
giving further support for the communty- Big shout out for all our volunteers without them we would not
be able to operate on the same scale as we have their support never ceases to surprise us or
diminishes.
