WHAT IS IT?

2022/23 ANNUAL REPORT

In line with our mission, aims, vision and value, we are more interested in what benefits our service users rather than what we intend to gain from doing what we are doing. Our mission is ‘to deliver services that make positive and lasting impacts on the community.’ Our direct beneficiaries were 2,569 and indirect ones must be over 5000.

Based on what people say, the performance of our mission is obvious and recogniseable. Although performance might be small, the efforts are productive, as we can see in what follows:

SOME EXPLANATION:

SENIOR ANCHOR PROJECT (SAP) is a group for over 50s. The group met twice in a month on average of 20 members per meeting. The project has been sponsored by Bradford Council for over 6 years.

Another project sponsored by Bradford Council is HAF under the HOLIDAY ACTIVITIES FUND (HAF). We have been running the project for more than 2 years for children on Free School Meals and SEND children. We engaged about 30 children and young people for the Christmas, Easter, and summer holidays.

The third project sponsored by Bradford Council is HOUSEHOLD FOOD PACKS under Household Support Fund (HSF). With this project, we supplied food items to over 40 families a month with an average of 4 people per family.

ARTISTIC HAND-ON PROJECT was a career support for Job Seekers which was a training programme that prepared the unemployed for career opportunities. We used it to train 15 people. Next to this was the HOPING FORWARD PROJECT which also prepared people for employment. With this, we supported 15 women. Hoping Forward started in 2022 and extended to 2023.

The National Lottery Community Fund sponsored us to run a pilot project to support BLACK FAMILIES IN NORTHAMPTON. It started in 2022 and extended to 2023. More

than 175 people benefited directly from the project.

LEAVING IT INTACT was sponsored by the Mayor’s Community Fund to support women who survived female genital mutilation (FGM) and to help those at risk. It was for training, awareness raising and support.

To prepare this annual report, we collected some feedback from our clients ranging from 5 years to age 90 as we have projects for children and adults. The questions are:

What is it, that:
Makes you like coming here?
Makes you like our charity?
Keeps you coming to Peacemaker International?
Your children and family like about us?
We need to improve or add to our service provision?
Which of our projects do you like best and why?
How long have you been coming to our orgnaistion?
How old are you?

THE SUMMARY OF WHAT PEOPLE SAY:

Your organization has given me an opportunity to meet people from various cultures and religion, making it easy for me to make new friends.

I see the charity as a one-stop shop for the community where everyone is welcome. If they cannot offer 100% of what you go for, they will signpost you immediately and follow it up. This is not common elsewhere. I have recommended them to many people in the community.

Staff and volunteers are approachable. They are experienced staff and volunteers who are ready to handle cases to the best of their ability. They are never tired of helping people, even after closing hours. If you were sad when you came, they will make sure you are relieved by the time you leave.

The workers listened to my needs and led me to achieve them without any delays.

They love people and are friendly and ready to assist you when one has difficulties. They are problem solvers for me. When I come here, I learn more about changes in the community, about new things that are going on. This charity makes me happy and gives me peace of mind. Telling others about your story is a relief. They are changing people here. I have been coming here for 5 years since I came to this area of Bradford. I am 70 years old and a woman.

The location of your office is good. You are very close to the City Centre of Bradford, about 10 minutes walk from Bradford Interchange. You have many free spaces to park, and it is accessible on the main road. You can’t miss it!

There is always an open discussion of many personal issues and what is going on around the world. I like it because people are free to open and share what they are going through with others. I like this charity as it helps to reach out to people who need services and those who come here. I was 90 years old last August and I have been coming for 20 years.

I keep on coming here because the project is peaceful. Coming here makes me gather with nice and friendly people. It gives us an opportunity to chat and discuss any issue on health and personal development. The staff are very kind and give us help. My children and family like it here because of the very nice atmosphere. I don’t think you need to make any improvement as you already you did a lot recently for improvement, just keep up your hard work. I like everything you offer as they are wonderful and amazing. What I want to say is a big thank you. I am 65 years old, and I have been coming here for a very long time.

I would like to come to Peacemaker International because I feel good and peaceful. The place gives me relief from my mental health. I like the staff as they are good people. They care for and help me in a lot of ways. My daughters like the people here because they are very caring and good to those who come to them for help. I love all their programme as all of them are very good to attend. They are accommodating and lovely. Am 64 years old. I have been coming here since 2018.

I started coming to Peacemaker International more than 3 years with my friends who introduced the place to me. I love it here because the staff and volunteers are very good and very friendly. I come here to get help and the support I get to calm down from stress. They taught me how to deal with my anger. My children love coming to make friends and to play games. We come here regularly to get food parcels and fresh vegetables. May thanks to your staff. My suggestion is for us to do more physical exercise.

I like coming here to meet my friends and kind staff. They help all of us in various ways. My children also come here to enjoy themselves and make friends. I have been coming for more than 4 years and I am 44 years old.

I don’t feel stressed and angry anytime I come here. When I come here, they make me happy, and I get more energy. I am free, like other people, to talk about our needs. If I came with stress, I go home totally relieved.

What is it that makes funders sponsor our projects?

A funder once wrote us that, ‘we are delighted to fund your project.’ Another one wrote ‘the panel was delighted to support your project.’ That was before the money was released. After the final evaluation and support, a funder wrote to inform us that, ‘we are delighted to hear that our grant has helped you to touch many lives in your community.’

Thank you, Dorcas

Appreciate the quick response. Thank you for your kind words, it has been a pleasure supporting your organisation and your project [the project was CAREER SUPPORT FOR JOB SEEKERS].
