ORGANISATION STRUCTURE

CentrePeace is a Charitable Company Limited by Guarantee . The company was established under a Memorandum of Association which established the objects and powers of the charitable company and is governed under its Articles of Association.

The directors of the company are also charity trustees, under charity law. They work closely with the management team, who liaise on a regular and ongoing basis with the shop and café volunteers. The ethos of CentrePeace is one of inclusion and equality and so they very much work together to make decisions affecting the charity, always considering input from the volunteer staff. The local community are also actively encouraged to voice their opinions on any aspect of the running of the centre – by way of chatting whilst visiting shop or cafe, a suggestion box, monitoring forms and ‘open house’ events. This informal approach, we have found, helps us to process feedback effectively, implement decisions quickly and keep in touch with the needs of the community.

Staff: There are currently four salaried positions, three of which are funded by the Big

Lottery. The post of Volunteer and Wellbeing Co-Ordinator is vacant at present, due to Angela

Neil resigning in February 2020 and Julie Bose in September 2020 (both due to changes in life circumstances). Because of the covid situation and the centre being unable to operate as normal, the work has not been available to warrant appointing a new employee to the post but we will do so as soon as the situation allows. The other paid members of staff are the Centre Manager, the Counselling Co-Ordinator and the Assistant Café Co-Ordinator. The other members of the Management Team give their time voluntarily and receive no benefits from the charity.

CentrePeace is an entirely volunteer based, community driven, people centred initiative . It is a well-established, drop-in community support centre, with its own charity shop and café that promotes community cohesion and wellbeing through connecting people, whatever their age or socio-economic background, with services, resources and social networks in their own community. CentrePeace offers a range of free in-house services, from counselling and support groups to skills workshops and employability support. We provide a comfortable, safe space where people feel valued and welcome and are able to find help that they might need, either from our own resources or with our assistance.

It has been sad not to have been able to provide for the community in our usual way since March, due to the covid pandemic and the associated lockdown and restrictions. However, we have done as much as we can, whilst following government guidelines, to remain a focus for the community. Following the initial strict lockdown, during which time the Centre Manager maintained weekly phone contact with volunteers and customers (having the CentrePeace phone diverted to her mobile so that she could pick up calls), online employability workshops were delivered and staff encouraged volunteers to join the CentrePeace Whatsapp group so that they could stay in touch and support each other. The café was opened, on a takeaway basis, when possible and a ‘pop up’ table was put outside twice a week to sell donations. The volunteers appreciated being able to make a contribution in this way, to support the centre and bring in some extra income. Despite not being able to fully open, many customers have said that walking to the centre and having a chat was the highlight of their day.

During lockdown, CentrePeace supported the local foodbank by donating foodstuffs. Sarah, the Centre Manager, also volunteered to deliver prescriptions during lockdown and, at the same time, was able to promote CentrePeace through leaflets and let people know that they could phone if they needed to.

AIn May 2020 CentrePeace had been open to the public for seven years. This year, sadly, we were unable to celebrate with visitors and volunteers as we usually do, because of lockdown but before lockdown, we continued to network and/or collaborate with other facilitators, providers and advisors in the area, in order to provide the best service we can for our visitors. We continue to do so as the situation allows.

A list of the organisations that CentrePeace has worked/networked with is appended to this report.

As well as creating income for the charity, both the shop and cafe provided a comfortable, welcoming and inclusive ‘first stop’ for anyone needing assistance . We hope that it won’t be too long before we can do so again but, in the meantime, as mentioned above, we do what we can within government guidelines. We do not restrict our care to any particular sections of society but welcome all members of the community, whatever their demographic, personal situation or needs. Whereas we cannot always meet the ongoing professional needs of some of our visitors, we can always offer help in times of crisis and support them while we assist in finding the appropriate help by signposting to suitable agencies. We have provided crisis food packages and free clothes to those in need, as well as formal counselling and general support. Many people have come in simply needing help with filling in forms or making phone calls. We find that some of our visitors form friendships and bonds that enable them to support each other outside the centre, for example to accompany to appointments and meetings.

BENEFICIARIES

Before the lockdown we were still getting many new visitors requesting specific help, as well as visiting simply for the café, shop or craft groups for drop-in.

Our Natural Healing provision has had to be postponed for the time being but the team includes 8 volunteer trainee healers and 7 volunteer qualified healers who are happy to return, once the covid restrictions have been lifted. Over 190 beneficiaries have been reached, so far.

Naturally, because of the pandemic situation and lockdown commencing in the middle of March, the number of beneficiaries has dropped considerably this year.

COUNSELLING SERVICE

Our counselling service had to be closed during lockdown but re-opened a reduced service, with the necessary precautions and protection in August . Counsellors and clients were given the option of providing/using the service if they felt comfortable, with six counsellors choosing to do so, seeing eighteen clients between them.

Our counselling co-ordinator, Jane, line manages all the counsellors, liaising with the counselling colleges and independently appointed supervisors for individual and group support. Jane continued to keep in touch with counsellors and clients throughout lockdown.

VOLUNTEERS

Our volunteers are an essential, much respected and appreciated part of our charity, having between them an extensive skill base and resource pool that greatly enhances our ability to help. Some have physical conditions, mental health challenges and learning difficulties, but all are encouraged to – and are proud to - work to their potential. We have a comprehensive support structure to meet the needs of our volunteer staff, ranging from one to one mentoring to freely available counselling. In ‘normal’ times, we are able to provide placements to some volunteers who, otherwise, find it difficult to obtain work experience, for example those with mental health problems and learning disabilities.

All volunteers are encouraged to take an active role in the development of the centre and all say that their sense of purpose and self-esteem have improved since joining the CentrePeace ‘family’. Our regular volunteers have been saying how much they miss being able to come into the centre and, whenever restrictions have lifted sufficiently, have come in to sell items from the forecourt when the café has been open for takeaway, providing much appreciated income .

Most of our existing volunteers have indicated that they would like to return when possible. The majority work in the shop which has not yet been able to re-open due to needing the space to be able to move the café tables to the required distance apart when we re-opened on 28[th] September.

SUPPORT GROUPS

Before the lockdown, support groups of various kinds developed as the need arose, e.g. our ‘Art for Relaxation’ group that provides the space and materials for those who find art to be a way of finding calm and peace. Craft groups and other friendship groups provided mutual support. Many people find comfort just by being listened to in a friendly, attentive, nonjudgemental way. We expect all these activities to resume when restrictions have lifted sufficiently.

Regular, free groups that have met include

CHANGES/IMPROVEMENTS THIS YEAR

COMPLIANCE

We are fully compliant with GDPR and Sarah, the Centre Manager reviews our policies on a regular basis.

Sarah keeps her food safety and first aid certificates up-to-date, also ensuring that volunteers have access to relevant courses for their work.

FUNDING & SUSTAINABILITY

We are pleased to be able to report that, thanks to the income from when we are able to open the café and also a grant from Torbay Council, we are still successfully meeting our day to day running costs. Even though we have not been able to hold any fundraising events, we still receive regular donations from some members of the local community.

RESERVES POLICY

Currently, we hold six months average expenditure as a contingency fund.

We do not have any outstanding loans.

CURRENT SERVICES

Community Café: Warm, safe and friendly atmosphere providing affordable, nutritious food. The tables have been re-positioned to conform to government guidelines.

Counselling Service: A robust, professionally run, free counselling provision with waiting list kept to a minimum. The smaller counselling rooms are not being used at present, due to the need to distance and we are therefore providing a reduced service in our larger room where counsellors are able to sit at a distance of over two metres.

Food Parcels: a back up service for Paignton Community Food Larder; we hold some of their food parcels at the centre, which people in need can collect when the food bank is closed. We allocated weekly funds to shop for the food larder, when they were short of particular items. We also provided over 60 Christmas Hampers to local families (including a gift for each family member), identified by local primary schools as having additional needs.

Health and Wellbeing: Though on a very much more restricted basis, people are able to come and talk problems through with a friend or member of staff, now that the café is open again.

Signposting: A comprehensive resource list of local services and provisions is available to our visitors.

SAFEGUARDING AND RISK MANAGEMENT

The main focus this year, of course, has been complying with government guidelines in respect of the covid pandemic. Sarah, our Centre Manager, has followed all reports and updates closely in order to make sure that guidelines are met and rules followed. Risk assessments are carried out regularly, according to the government’s template.

The Counselling Co-Ordinator, Jane, has also spent a great deal of time ensuring that counsellors and visitors are kept safe and protected during visits to the centre, following all advised protocols

Our safeguarding procedures are robust, real and regularly reviewed. We have 2 external safeguarding consultants we can call upon to attending meetings, offer professional advice and guidance over issues as they arise and support us through difficult situations.

One of our management team is a qualified, experienced counsellor and all have experience in giving support to vulnerable people.

In order to best support volunteers at risk, a member of staff will act as personal mentor to guide that individual through a difficult time and ensure they are heard, receive the help they need and are signposted to the right services. One of our trustees, Denice Vandenberg, is our safeguarding officer, supported by our charity chair. The board of trustees remain actively involved at the centre; some on an almost daily basis, others less frequently, however all are available to help address sensitive issues as they arise and support one another through to a resolution.

FUTURE PLANS

This will, of course, depend on the course of the pandemic and when restrictions are lifted completely. However, our ethos remains that we should always be community driven and practical experience gives us awareness of what people in our locality need. Because we do not limit our help to any one demographic, our future plans are of a broad nature and are separated into two strands: securing the sustainability of the building and maintaining and extending our range of services.

Building – The sustainability of the building is secured by continuing to work hard to maintain and improve income from wherever possible, to pay the rent and other overheads. We are very fortunate to have a qualified electrician and other skills within our volunteer force.

Volunteers: We will invite our volunteers back, as we are able and will continue to develop a comprehensive support structure to meet the needs of our volunteer staff. We will continue to make their ‘career’ and achievements at CentrePeace documented more formally, through each volunteer having a folder, containing any certificates gained and progress made, as well as their own thoughts and feedback.

As soon as the situation allows, we will arrange more social events in the community, for volunteers and visitors, to encourage social interaction. We also aim to organise more regular volunteer team building activities and training opportunities (both formal and informal).

Counsellors: We continue to support their professional development as much as possible. Our relationship with the regional counselling colleges is strong which augurs well for the growth of our counselling service.

Health and Nutrition: When possible, we will continue our plans to Increase provision of various cooking workshops.

Wellbeing: We intend to further our wellbeing provision through facilitating more mindfulness and other groups and by organising regular social events to encourage social interaction.

Employability: To continue CV workshops, Training in First Aid, Health and Safety at Work, and Food Safety and Hygiene. Also, Listening Skills; ITC skills and the provision of a computer suite; hosting various groups and therapists.

Fundraising – We will be looking to further events as soon as the situation allows.

In preparing this report, the trustees confirm that they have given due regard to the Charity Commission’s public benefit guidance, where relevant.
