## **ANNUAL REPORT FOR 2023 - 2024** ## **WHAT WE DO** Rumbletums is a community café that provides training and work experience for young people with a learning disability, normally aged between 16 and 30, some of whom may also have an addi@onal physical disability. In addi@on, promo@ng the integra@on of young people with a learning disability into the local community, playing an ac@ve role in that community and suppor@ng its further development, are all key priori@es for Rumbletums. Rumbletums was established in 2011 by parents of children with learning disabili@es, because of their concern about the lack of employment and development opportuni@es for such young people once they had finished formal educa@on. They wanted to provide something valuable and purposeful for them, which would help them fulfil their poten@al, as well as enabling them to make a posi@ve contribu@on to the community, helping to challenge nega@ve stereotypes and break down barriers. These aspira@ons are as relevant today as they were in 2011 and s@ll underpin everything we do at Rumbletums. ## TRAINING The supported training and work experience is based primarily in our café where trainees undertake a range of ‘Front of House’ du@es (such as taking orders, preparing and serving drinks, serving cakes, snacks and hot meals); a range of kitchen du@es (such as preparing and cooking some food items, washing and drying pots, cutlery and pans etc., cleaning the kitchen); and a range of other related ac@vi@es (such as laundering aprons and tea towels and shopping). In addi@on, trainees learn a range of basic office skills and get involved in the general cleaning and ‘housekeeping’ of the whole building and seQng up the rooms for events or mee@ngs. Also, some of our trainees also help at our toddler group, RumbletumsTots, work in our allotment and support the various community events we run or are involved in. we have through an on-going partnership with Kimberley School. This provides experience of working outdoors in a hor@cultural environment, with the aim of growing a variety of produce and plants. and addi@onally, we provide training and development opportuni@es through workshops, and similar ac@vi@es. We review the training programme regularly and are always looking at new things that trainees can do to gain even more informa@on, knowledge and skills, and to further build their with catering and hospitality as well as more general employability skills; enhanced communica@on and life skills; and greater confidence and self-esteem. All our trainees leave Rumbletums with addi@onal skills and knowledge and many trainees have gone on to find paid employment or to access further work experience and training. that will help them if seeking paid employment, and in effec@vely managing their own affairs, par@cularly if living more independently. ## CAFÉ The café opened on the corner of Victoria Street and Newdigate Street in Kimberley on 2 July 2011. It quickly established a reputa@on for excellent homemade food, coffee and service, and is currently open from 9.30am to 3.00pm from Tuesday to Saturday. as possible. All our meals and cakes are made on the premises, and we pride ourselves on our homemade food, much of which has been prepared by the trainees. We provide a varied choice of breakfasts, snacks, lunches, and a wide selec@on of tasty cakes, including vegetarian, vegan and gluten and dairy free op@ons. Our coffees are made with freshly ground beans, roasted in West Bridgford by 200 Degrees, and tea is served tradi@onally in a teapot for maximum enjoyment. All our drinks can be made with skimmed, soya, almond or oat milk, and we have a good choice of cold drinks. Everyone is welcome at Rumbletums. We have tables for one or two, or up to four people and we are happy to add extra chairs or put tables together for bigger groups. The building has full wheelchair access, and we have an accessible toilet, as well as a chair lib to the first floor. Rumbletums is very child friendly. High-chairs and booster seats are available, we have babychanging facili@es and we’re breast-feeding friendly. Our children’s menu offers plenty of healthy and nutri@ous meals and snacks to choose from, and we have a bookcase just for children’s books for borrowing as well as reading in the café. Rumbletums has received several local and na@onal awards and accolades, recognising the value and quality of both the training and the delicious food and drinks served in the café. ## COMMUNITY INVOLVEMENT Being part of the local community and suppor@ng its further development are very important to Rumbletums. We provide a welcoming and safe space for all members of the community, helping combat loneliness and isola@on, as well as providing delicious, affordable and nutri@ous food. Several groups choose Rumbletums as the venue for their social get-togethers. In February 2023 we were awarded the Carers Quality Mark and received a Carer Friendly Award. This was for our valuable contribu@on to suppor@ng carers, whether these are carers of our trainees or customers or other service users. We regularly run community events ourselves, facilitate events run by others in our premises and take part in local events. One of the most important is RumbletumsTots, our parent/carer and toddler group run by a commijed group of volunteers and some of our trainees. Tots meets every Tuesday in term @me from 1.00 pm to 3.00 pm, and toddlers can come for free and play with our great range of toys, have a snack and a drink and enjoy a singsong at the end of the session. For a small charge parents/carers can get a drink and a piece of our delicious cake. Other events include our ‘Silver Screen’ Film Nights for the over 50s, our school uniform sales and our very successful Abernoon Teas. We work with NHS Social Prescribers to provide Rumblechums, a fortnightly Community Café aimed at reducing social isola@on. We also host a Crab Group and Warm Space events for people with learning disabili@es. A Carers’ Awareness Day, NHS Digital App Roadshow and similar events have also taken place here. Addi@onally, we take part in many Kimberley events, such as the Christmas Lights switch-on, the Christmas Market, the Food Fes@val, as well as the Watnall Allotment Open Day. groups, organisa@ons and individuals for par@es and the like. State of the art AV equipment is available in the rooms and can be hired for a small fee. We usually charge those using our rooms, but we ac@vely support and provide space at reduced or no cost to non-commercial groups trying to improve the lives of the local popula@on. Regular users of our space include Kimberley Neighbourhood Church, Slimming World, Weight Watchers, the WEA, a Diabetes Support Group, a chair Yoga group, a Chat & Crab group and several U3A groups, as well as individuals for par@es and the like. We can provide catering to those hiring our rooms when the café is open, and increasingly we also provide food for room hire or events held out of hours, or as take-away for external events. Giving our trainees the opportunity to be involved in a range of community ac@vi@es helps them achieve integra@on into, and posi@vely contribute as a ci@zen to, their local community and society. It also helps increase understanding about learning disabili@es, break down barriers and challenge the nega@ve stereotypes they oben face in life. We provide many opportuni@es to members of the local community to volunteer, and we rely heavily on our volunteers. They provide invaluable support to our trainees in the kitchen and front of house and at our RumbletumsTots sessions, carry out administra@ve du@es and various odd jobs around the building, work in the allotment and support our various other community events. Not only do we and our trainees benefit from having volunteers - the community and the individuals benefit too. Volunteering can reduce loneliness and isola@on, and it enables the individuals to gain addi@onal skills whilst improving their own well-being. We are very grateful to them all. We are pleased to be able to support local employment and have eleven paid full or part-@me members of staff. We are very grateful for their high level of skill, and their commitment to suppor@ng our trainees, providing the highest quality food and drinks to our customers and playing our part in the local community. Rumbletums aims to always support local businesses, by buying its food locally and using local trades people and service providers whenever possible. This also reduces our food miles, which helps support the local environment, which we also do in other ways, such as ensuring our building and equipment are as energy efficient as possible; using a local allotment to grow produce and plants; recycling as much as possible, including drinks cans; and running events and ac@vi@es that encourage recycling, for example, school uniform collec@on and resale events. ## SOCIAL EVENTS To further support the wellbeing of young people with learning disabili@es and their families across the community we provide a range of social events. We have a social group, which includes some of our trainees, that arranges a regular programme of events, including open mic, quiz and fancydress nights, offering new, varied and enjoyable experiences. ## **HOW WE BENEFIT THE PUBLIC** ||**The advancement of education:**||||**The advancement of health:**|| |---|---|---|---|---|---|---| ||Through our training programme for young||||By providing affordable home-cooked,|| ||people with learning disabilities, giving work||||nutritious food that meets all dietary|| ||experience and a range of employability and||||needs|| ||life skills, to enable them to develop and gain||||By providing a welcoming and safe space|| ||more independence that will help them if||||for all members of the community, helping|| ||seeking paid employment, and in effectively||||combat loneliness, improving wellbeing|| ||managing their own affairs||||and reducing isolation|| ||By offering opportunities for volunteering and||||By running social and community events|| ||employment through which additional skills||||for young people with learning disabilities|| ||can be gained||||and their families|| ||||||By offering opportunities for volunteering|| ||||||and employment which helps improve|| ||**Protecting the environment:**

From July we awarded a Trainee of the Month cer@ficate – recognising not only the achievements of trainees in developing skills and knowledge but also the behaviour and aQtude of trainees and the contribu@on they made to the life of Rumbletums. From July we welcomed trainees from Carlton Digby School. We developed a special training programme for them, allowing four pupils to train at Rumbletums for a six-week period, followed by groups of four different pupils, throughout the academic year. In total 11 different trainees came from Carlton Digby. Interviewing Skills and was funded through the grant previously given to support trainees by The Gate Inn in Awsworth. The other was “Money for Life”, a free course run by Inspire and aimed at anyone aged 19+ who hadn’t got a level 2 qualifica@on in maths. Eight people ajended each workshop - sixteen different individuals, not all of who were trainees with us. In addi@on, Angela, our Project Manager, along with one of our trainees Alex, ajended a workshop at NoQngham Cathedral, where Helen Mar@nez was doing a heritage project. One aim of the work was to increase the career opportuni@es in the heritage sector including work placements or volunteering opportuni@es, for young people with special educa@onal needs and those who are neuro diverse. Helen also ran a stained-glass crab ac@vity to make it more engaging and interac@ve for those ajending. ## THE CAFÉ: It was a very busy year for the café. We welcomed 17,946 customers, to whom we provided 34,610 items of food and drink: - - 5,075 pieces of cake and the most popular was Mars Bar Krispie followed by Victoria Sponge - 7,392 snacks, with breakfast accoun@ng for a third of these - 4,695 lunches, nearly a third of which were jacket potatoes. We opened especially for the Christmas Lights switch-on, the Christmas Market and the Kimberley Food Fes@val. We undertook a lot of addi@onal catering during the year, including a Christmas breakfast and a Christmas lunch, buffets for five events and the sale of several sandwich plajers and individual cakes. We won the award of “Most Welcoming Local Café 2023 – NoQngham” in the LUXlife Food and Drink Awards. In January 2024 we had a visit from the Food Hygiene Inspec@on and we were delighted to be given a 5-star ra@ng. ## COMMUNITY INVOLVEMENT: Being part of the local community and suppor@ng its further development are very important to Rumbletums. We hosted 22 Rumblechums events - a fortnightly Community Café aimed at reducing social isola@on that we work with NHS Social Prescribers to provide; 20 Warm Space and 9 Crab Group events for people with learning disabili@es. We also host a Carers’ Awareness Day and an NHS Digital App Roadshow. We ran 33 sessions of RumbletumsTots, our parent/carer and toddler group run by a commijed group of volunteers and some of our trainees. Tots meets every Tuesday in term @me from 1.00 pm to 3.00 pm, and toddlers can come for free and play with our great range of toys, have a snack and a drink and enjoy a singsong at the end of the session. We were delighted that, during the school holiday when RumbletumsTots wasn’t meeting, one of the mums organised “Tots in the Park” events, which were very well supported. The volunteers and trainee who run RumbletumsTots had gone to an event and really enjoyed it. We were very pleased to work with Hollywell Primary School on their Enterprise and Community Project, in which a group of 15 children from years 5 and 6 made various crab items to sell at a Christmas Fair in December with all the proceeds going towards Rumbletums. We’re very grateful to them. As well as taking part in the Kimberley Christmas Lights switch-on, the Christmas Market and the Food Fes@val, we were involved in the Watnall Allotment Open Day, ran 3 Silver Screen cinema events and 2 Abernoon Teas. We also ran two school uniform recycling and exchange sales. At Christmas we organised a Reverse Advent Calendar, with all dona@ons going to the Eastwood Food Bank. par@es, exercise and other events. 18 of these were community groups or individuals and 4 were from local councils. 16 groups were carrying out ac@vi@es suppor@ng health and well-being. Our volunteers are a very important part of the Rumbletums team, working in suppor@ng trainees in the café, at the allotment, and involved in running the various community events. 48 different individuals volunteered with us during the year, with 14 of them volunteering every month. On average there were 28 volunteers every month. We were proud to nominate one of our volunteers, Jennie Heap, for the Broxtowe Mayor’s Voluntary Awards, in the category ‘Community Hero Award’, for someone who has demonstrated that they have gone above and beyond for the community as a whole. ## SOCIAL EVENTS This year we ran 11 social events for young people with learning disabili@es and their families, including Open Mic, Pics & Popcorn, Games Nights and Disney 100 events. We also organised very enjoyable Bowling Evenings in August and December and a Narrowboat trip in August, all paid for from dona@ons from Nick Hundleby Commercial Glazing. ## GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT In December 2022 we had applied to change our charitable status to become a Charitable Incorporated Organisa@on (CIO), in order to streamline and simplify our management arrangements. This was approved by the Charity Commission and finally took effect on 3 April 2023. During the year we updated our Safeguarding Policy, Risk Management Tool and Social Impact Plan and agreed a new Trustees’ Conflicts of Interest Policy. Paula Inger-Smith had become a Trustee of Rumbletums in September 2022. She took up the post of Café Assistant in March 2023, however this did not work out as hoped and she resigned from both roles at the end of May 2023. We are grateful for the valuable contribu@on she made to the project. Saturday only role for a young person. As a result, in May Margaret Melia, who was a regular volunteer on Bake Days and oben other days, was given a paid zero-hours contract as a Café Assistant, normally working 3 days a week and Michelle Welsh started in July also on a zero-hours contract, normally working 2 days a week. Both are able to work both in the kitchen and Front of House. Eve Bradley, a student, started in July working as a Café Assistant on Saturdays only, and Ethan Macfarlane, also a student, started in July, on a zero-hours contract to fill in as and when needed as a Café Assistant. We want to congratulate Helen Groom, our Café Supervisor, who during the year completed the Level 3 Food Hygiene/Safety Course with a Merit. Manager Angela Devine, Senior Training Support Worker Gemma Calder, Training Support Worker Patsy Buck, Cook Roma Hajon, Front of House Assistant Tracey Corkish and Bake-Day Cook Debbie Bonser – and together they make an impressive team, working hard to support our trainees and to give the best possible experience to our customers, room hirers and those who ajend the many events at Rumbletums. were extremely posi@ve with 91% of café customers responding giving us a ra@ng of 9 or 10 out of 10 across a variety of headings such as the choice, quality and price of food and drinks offered and the quality of service. All the customers who filled in the survey said that the café is welcoming and friendly, and the vast majority said they would be happy to visit alone. We were keen to know whether visi@ng Rumbletums had changed their view about adults with learning disabili@es, and how trainees add to the experience of visi@ng Rumbletums. 35% had changed their view and the comments made include “ _It's confirmed my belief that adults with a learning disability can be gainfully employed and enjoy a working environment in which they can achieve_ ”, “ _Very lovely experience seeing young people grow and develop. Life skills opportunity is amazing_ ” and “ _Excellent way to raise awareness of how valuable everyone is in our community_ ” We asked parents and carers about the changes in their young person following training at Rumbletums. Most reported an increase in confidence, development of new skills, being more help at home, bejer communica@on skills, a posi@ve aQtude and an overall bejer sense of purpose. The volunteers responding were posi@ve about their experience at Rumbletums saying “ _I knew it would be supporBve and community based and I would learn new skills”_ and what made volunteering enjoyable included “ _Seeing growth in trainees’ confidence and life skill_ s” and “ _A delight to work with the whole team, and help develop trainees_ ”. We also got some ideas about things we can do even bejer, and we will be working on them in the coming months. future development. There are many opportuni@es for giving us feedback or ideas, such as the surveys men@oned above, leaving comments on social media, raising issues with staff in the café. We have also created “ **Friends of Rumbletums** ”, a group that meets every few months and is made up of past or present trainees, parents, customers and volunteers, along with the Rumbletums Project Manager and Trustees. The group had its first mee@ng in November 2023 and has already iden@fied areas for further development, such as the possibility of work experience placements for our trainees outside of Rumbletums. If you’re interested in joining the group or want more informa@on, please contact Abbi Smith, Trustee on abbifaulk@yahoo.com for more informa@on. - 731 more trainee hours than last year - 1,533 more customers and nearly £15,000 more catering income than last year - Higher income through dona@ons and fundraising than last year.

We regularly run Climmunity events ourselves, facilitate events run by others in our premises and take part in local events. One of the most important is RumbletumsTots, our parenvcarer and toddler group run by a committed group of volunieers and some of our trainees. rots meets every Tuesday in term lime from 1.00 pm to 3.00 pm, and toddlers can come for free and play with our great range of toys, have a snack and a drink and enjoy a singsong at the end of Ihe session. For a small charge parentslcarers can get a drink and a piece of our delicious cake. Other events include our 'Silver Screen, Film Nights for the over 50s. our school uniform sales and our very successful Afternoon Teas.
