As a result of taking over from a Community Association we changed our legal entity from a Registered Charity and Company Ltd by Guarantee to become an associated Charitable Incorporated Organisation. We changed our name in July 2024 to Westcliff Community Drop-In Centre as voted by our members at our AGM. What we will be doing over the next year: Our Ways to We11ness project, funded by Big Lottery from January 2023 is due to end January 2026, The airns of the project were to recruit Volunteer Buddies (Mentors) to connect with rnemERrs of ti)e community who may feel isolated for any number of reasons e,g., bereavement, illness, loneliness etc who need someone to tslk to or accompany them to activities, appointments etc. We were able to secure funding to add a Mental Health Support Worker to the staff team to support the increased numoer of people presenting with mentsl health issues and the need to apply for subsequent benefiis.
