We also provide a trustees’ handbook. Ongoing training is arranged for trustees, with opportunities provided for specific training as and when needed.

Decisions are made by trustees sitting as a board at 6 meetings per annum. Specific work is carried out by standing sub groups. Subgroups are set up as and when needed, time limited and specific. The board retains all liability for decision making around financial issues. Day to day management of the project is the responsibility of the Centre Manager, at present Christine Aspinall.

The Chair’s Comments: Glynis Craig

Once again, I am immensely proud to be providing the introduction to such a comprehensive report detailing the work of St John’s Centre. When I wrote my comments for the previous annual report, the centre was dealing with a projected reduced income for 2019-2020 and a real possibility of staff redundancies. We knew that we were facing a difficult year but could never have predicted how tough it was to become.

Like everyone else, the centre had to cope and adjust to living with COVID-19. As always, the staff and volunteers rose to the challenge and St John’s became crucial as a hub for the community. In doing so we have made many new connections and shown how quickly and successfully we can adapt to fulfil local need.

I wholeheartedly thank the staff and volunteers for their hard work in making this possible. I also want to thank our community funders who play a vital role in our sustainability, and our partners who are listed at the end of this report. Finally, I want to express my gratitude to my fellow Board members who volunteer their time to ensure that the Centre has good governance – mostly over Zoom during the last 12 months. I particularly want to thank Ric Taylor, who stood down from the Board this year after several years of dedicated service.

Next year is our 40[th] anniversary, and we are planning to celebrate by raising £40,000 over the next 12 months. There will be many ways to help us achieve this goal and I look forward to next year’s annual report which hopefully will say - we smashed it!!

Centre Manager: Christine Aspinall

St John’s Centre has now been serving the community of Old Trafford for 39 years. And we are looking forward to our 40[th] anniversary celebrations next year.

We have had an excellent year, and though we have been hit hard financially with the pandemic, through the hard work of our Board, staff and volunteers, we are pulling ourselves back, recovering and starting to flourish once again. It’s no surprise that the Centre has been nominated for Forever Manchesters Outstanding Community Contribution award.

We are delighted to say that we are continuing to meet ever-changing needs and addressing inequalities within the community that we serve. Our Centre reflects the diversity of our community at all levels, and we are able to reach out to those who are marginalised.

Development of the Centre has been underway this last year as we employed a Development Worker to look at how we might become more sustainable. This is ongoing for a further 12 months and we are optimistic about our future.

We have been involved with the DWP’s Kickstart Scheme and had a young man on placement with us for six months, gaining experience with social media and promotion. We hope to have two more placements this coming year as we like to give opportunities to young people when we are able.

Since April 2019, 19 months ago, we have been a Covid-19 Emergency Response hub and have continued with that support up to the present. We have had a positive impact on the lives of the many hundreds who have come to us for help in that time. The work is ongoing, and some of the issues facing people now are very complex as we emerge from emergency to recovery.

We have been busy building wider relationships through our work as a Hub, and now also with the Trafford Community Collective, for which. St John’s Centre are the VCFSE lead partners for the Old Trafford Area. Relationships with other Hub leaders across Trafford are strong and we meet regularly, sharing experiences and good practice.

I’m very proud of what we have been able to do and are still doing throughout this pandemic and of our staff who are giving above and beyond they are truly inspirational. A heartfelt thanks to them.

Volunteering

Volunteering is still very much a part of St John’s Centre, both helping people towards employment as they gain confidence, skills and experience, but also for those who want to give back, or are feeling socially isolated.

At present we have 46 volunteers on our books, and their roles are many and varied.

As well as the Garden Gang - as seen on BBC’s ‘Songs of Praise’ - who look after the grounds around the Church and Centre,

volunteers have always supported us with childcare for our learners; helping in our Hub and our Lovely Lunches project; in our office and reception; and teaching ESOL and computing.

We also provide volunteers for The Bread and Butter Thing, and for our “First Steps to Fitness” project funded by Ambition for Ageing.

Here’s what one of the families say about provision of Lovely Lunches over the summer holidays:

Volunteers have also supported our successful fundraising activities this year, including the Christmas Tree Recycling scheme and the Plant Sale. We are keen to recruit more volunteers to help us in this way.

Elaine Eland, our inimitable Volunteer Coordinator of eight years, left this September to take a full-time post with Caritas. A big thanks to Elaine who brought her many skills, qualities and creativity to the post.

We are lucky enough to have since recruited a new Volunteer Coordinator, Phil Johnson, and are very much looking forward to welcoming him as part of our staff team.

A massive thanks to all our volunteers, who give their time freely and cheerfully.

Learning and Activities – Emma Wilton

It’s been a bit of a stop/start year, as you can imagine, where learning and activities are concerned. According to our calendar, most of our courses started in September, stopped again in November, began again in December, stopped again in January, and then finally started again with the first lifting of restrictions in May.

Of course, this meant a steep reduction in the number of learners we were able to register over the last year compared to our usual 400 or so. Even when classes were on, the loss of one of our classrooms to the COVID Hub has reduced our learning capacity but we are looking at how we can house the hub work in another space.

Since September, we have had a full timetable of classes and activities running, and people are keener than ever to join them. We continue to work with our learning partners Trafford College - who are offering Functional Skills Maths and English, basic Digital Skills, and the everpopular Art classes – and the Workers’ Educational Association (WEA).

ESOL: The WEA is offering a Pre-entry/Entry Level ESOL class for the first time in many years, which is fulfilling a major demand. These students will be able to progress, hopefully to an accredited Entry 1 course, by the end of the year.

We are working with the WEA to try and arrange a course for complete beginners. While we welcome them to our open access sessions, they are not served by any current formal provision. The other WEA course here is ESOL for Care Work, which they developed at the request of the DWP. This will enable people to move towards the qualifications needed to work in care by improving their English.

At the same time, many of the learners who started Entry Level 3 courses with us before the pandemic have progressed to Level 1 and Level 2 through online study with the WEA. This has helped to reduce the impact of the closure of the creche, especially for those who had babies during lockdown.

We are also lucky to have some excellent volunteers who are providing childcare for our Wednesday “Family ESOL” class, meaning that parents with pre-school children can continue to learn with us. The fact that this, and our other volunteer-led ESOL classes, have been able to continue while we are between Volunteer Coordinators demonstrates the value of the work that Elaine was able to do to set up and consolidate these classes, as well as the quality of our volunteers.

Both Trafford Council’s Outreach Skills Information Officer (a former St John’s Centre volunteer) and Trafford’s ESOL Coordinator are holding regular drop-in sessions at the Centre, which means that our learners can get help to progress to further study and be referred for employment support if needed.

As well as working with our established learning partners, we are, as ever, ready to grab any chance to provide extra learning opportunities. In response to a request from a local resident, in June and July we were able to borrow several members of Virgin Media staff to provide social media training to local older people – we are planning to start this again before the end of the year.

Wellbeing activities

It’s impossible to overestimate the impact of lockdown and COVID restrictions on people’s wellbeing and mental health, and we are delighted to now be hosting so many different wellbeing activities. With the lifting of restrictions over the summer, many of our regular activities returned, and were supplemented with new ones – especially fitness classes, of which we now have 12 each week.Even our singing groups, including the Alzheimer’s Society’s “Singing for the Brain”, have been able to return in recent weeks.

In addition to providing space for other organisations’ activities, we have been able to secure funding for several of our own. We have been working with Stretford Public Hall on the Thriving Communities project, providing activities for the local Social Prescribing Link Workers to refer people to. The Centre has been the venue for two of these – a fitness training activity for over 40s, and cookery sessions.

We have received three different grants from Ambition for Ageing to offer social activities for older local residents – with a choice of gardening, gentle exercise (followed by tea and cake!), or social cycling. We are also hosting another Ambition for Ageing session run by Stitched Up. We are currently looking at other funding, from TMBC’s Inclusive Neighbourhoods and the GM Wellbeing Fund, to keep some of these projects going beyond their original three months.

Development work – Alex Sporidou

Funding and fundraising

Joining the SJC team, as I did in October 2020, comes with a sense of belonging, community spirit and a big open armed welcome. What I was not prepared for was the level of commitment, support and work involved from a small team of people passionate about meeting needs in the community.

Embarking on a sustainability work program was never meant to be easy especially considering the limited capacity of the team, resources at hand and of course the national lockdown. However, we took the challenge in our stride and approached it as a team determined to continue in our tradition of doing right by our community.

We first looked internally at our organisation. We reviewed our strategic goals using the theory of change approach. We also introduced a constituent relationship management (CRM) database to enable us to understand our stakeholders better, work better together and design services that meet our communities needs and create aspirations.

We also carried out an audit of

our resources and systems, necessary for sustainability, ensuring confidence and trust in SJC fundraising processes. Some of these activities involved evaluating the effectiveness and efficiency of our accounts such as Gift Aid with HMRC, PayPal, our website, social media accounts, fundraising platform, income and expenditure. As a result, we started developing our fundraising strategy.

We also looked at our outward relationships with our partners, supporters and wider community. We were quick to realise and adopt a Board, staff team and volunteer wide commitment to fundraising activity. In fact, our Chair, members of the team and volunteers have led on fundraising campaigns during winter 2021 engaging more people from the community in our work activities and generating much needed donations and support. The ongoing commitment of our Community Funders and the development of new one-off donors make sure that we can offer projects needed by the community but which will not be funded by statutory or local authority grant. Our donors secure, in a significant way, our independence and community-led activity.

We carried out four fundraising events, three quizzes and a Christmas tree recycling fundraiser. 155 people raised £1,800. Our 18 community funders for the same period, winter 2021, raised £2,500. It is not just about the money, it is also about 340 people including 53 children who participated in fundraising events, having fun, getting their Christmas trees recycled (116 trees in total) and making a difference in the community with their donations.

We have learned a lot and made helpful changes in this period to enable us to reach our fundraising goals. In 2021 we plan to develop our fundraising strategy and plan. We will encourage our local shops, existing and new donors to join in more sponsored fundraising activity and events. We will explore opportunities of bigger corporate support.

Our main focus is however, to increase the number of regular donations from our supporters and community. Please look out for our #GivingTuesday on November 30[th] , the second Christmas Tree Recycling fundraiser and of course our 40[th] Birthday celebration events throughout 2022.

Old Trafford Covid 19 Response HUB

Since April 2019 St John’s Centre has been a COVID-19 Emergency Response Hub, - supporting local people, especially those who were isolating and shielding and those who had been termed ‘Clinically Vulnerable’. We provide food, do shopping, collect prescriptions, make wellbeing calls, give out Lateral Flow Test Kits, and much more. We work closely with foodbanks, Trafford Council and Trafford Housing Trust – as well as social workers, Social Prescribers, Care Navigators, the Trafford Early Help teams, TDAS, and even the police more recently as support needs have become more complex.

We have dealt with 1,213 contacts in the last year. In reality, we are helping at least 3 or 4 times as many people, as we are also supporting the families of those contacts. This is in addition to our usual offer to those who use our services.

St John’s Centre is a first point of contact for support, and those who come to us can be helped by ourselves or signposted to the correct sort of assistance.

Thanks go to our Volunteers and community for the much-needed support, for keeping us supplied with food, toiletries, cleaning products (yes, even dog food), and definitely not least to Kal and friends who’ve provided us with fresh produce from the allotments.

Old Trafford Community Collective

As one of the lead partners for the North of Trafford, the Centre Manager Christine Aspinall has been chairing this group made up of VCFSE and statutory sectors coming together to address issues and to make a difference to the lives of those living in Old Trafford.

The group has over 60 members; they meet once a month, and have worked on priorities for the area, mapped all the local voluntary provision, and created Terms of Reference for joining the group.

The priorities are being reviewed at present with a view to groups working together on particular priorities. The group will also be looking at what needs we might not be serving and how we might address them.

Old Trafford Community Collective are part of the wider Trafford Community Collective – working together to make life better, to support communities and the groups that operate in them. Partnership working across the sectors has been exemplary for both the Hubs and partners in the collective. A real joy to be part of this.

Pantomime Special Edition

Our Panto won’t be the same without him, but as they say, ‘the show must go on’.

We are recruiting for next year! Are there any willing victims.. err sorry, volunteers out there?

Though we haven’t been able to put on our usual annual panto this year, we couldn’t miss this opportunity to remind folk of our fun performances; not least because John (AKA Rev. John Hughes ) is retiring and won’t be joining the troupe again. The photo left is his ‘swan song’ from Dick Whittington, playing his role as The Widow Twanky with the equally comedic Claire Trivino. The rest are from other equally dramatic performances.

We all wish John the very best for the future and he will be missed greatly. (Oh no he won’t! Oh yes he will!)

Thanks John, for all the support you have given as Chair and Vice-Chair of the Centre, the skills you have shared and not least for your brilliant performances as ‘Twanky’ over the years you have been with us. You certainly are a star!!

Independent Examiner's Report to

St John's Centre Charity Limited I report on the financial statements of the Charity for the year ended 31 March 2021, which are set out in the accompanying pages.

Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner As trustees of the Charity you are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements. The Charity’s trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year (under section 145(1) of the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act)) and that an independent examination is needed. It is my responsibility to: examine the accounts (under section 145(1)(a) of • the 2011 Act);

to follow the procedures laid down in the General Directions given by the Charity Commission (under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act);
• to state whether particular matters have come to my attention

Basis of independent examiner’s report My examination was carried out in accordance with the General Directions given by the Charity Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from you as trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequently I do not express an audit opinion on the view given by the accounts. Independent examiner’s statement In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention:

(1) which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in
any material respect the requirements • to keep accounting records in accordance with section 130 of the 2011 Act;

and

to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the 2011 Act;
have not been met;

(2) to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
