## **ORGANISATION STRUCTURE**
## **CentrePeace is a Charitable Company Limited by Guarantee** . The
company was established under a Memorandum of Association, which sets out 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 and encouraging input from the volunteer staff and local community – by way of chatting whilst visiting shop or cafe, a suggestion box, monitoring forms and ‘open house’ events. This informal approach, we have found, continues to help 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 Centre Manager, the Volunteer/Wellbeing Co-Ordinator and the Counselling Co-Ordinator are funded and the Café CoOrdinator is paid from earned income.
The Centre Manager, Sarah Parris, resigned at the end of February, due to increased family commitments and wishing to reduce her working hours. We count ourselves incredibly fortunate to have had her with us almost since the beginning. Sarah built the centre and café up to a thriving community hub and worked tirelessly for the benefit of the charity and all the people involved – volunteers, visitors and staff. She also volunteered many hours outside of her paid role. The Centre Manager’s position has proved hard to fill since. Even though Sarah served an extended notice period and stayed on to fully integrate the new person taking on the role, we realised, during her probation period, that the new employee’s skill set was not ideally suited to the role and she left. We then appointed another Centre Manager, who started in March 2022, but she decided that the role did not suit her and left at the end of August.
We engaged a new Café Co-Ordinator in March 2022 but, sadly, she had a heart attack in May, which led to quadruple bypass surgery and long term sick leave, which she is still on. We expect her to be well enough to begin a phased return to work next month (November). In the meantime, we engaged Dee Mulhall to take on the role of Café Co-Ordinator, temporarily, to cover what is a very busy position.
Dee fitted in exceptionally well to the ‘family’ and ethos of CentrePeace. When we were struggling to find the right person for the Centre Manager role, we realised that she would be ideally suited. Similarly, Maya King who was in the Volunteer/Wellbeing Co-Ordinator role, had managed, brilliantly, to cover the Centre Manager’s role when necessary and keep the centre open, sometimes under very difficult circumstances. The trustees realised their value and asked them if they would share the role of Centre Manager and they agreed. They have held the joint role for two months now and it is working very well. Dee is also coping with the café role until the Café CoOrdinator’s phased return, next month (November)and Maya is still coping with the Volunteer/Wellbeing Co-Ordinator role until Lucy Gubbin, our new employee, starts, also next month.
Jane Mason, the Counselling Co-Ordinator, resigned in February 2022, to focus on building her own counselling practice. Jane had been with us for many years – as a volunteer counsellor, before her employment as the CoOrdinator. We are truly grateful to Jane for building the counselling department at CentrePeace into the robust, well thought of service it is today, giving many hours of free counselling and placement opportunities to newly qualified counsellors. Rachael joined us in April and is an excellent
successor, having already had experience of running a counselling centre at Plymouth College. The counselling service had diminished somewhat during the covid years and Rachael is currently engaged in recruiting new counsellors. She continues to liaise with various counselling colleges, the three main ones being Devon Counselling College, Heartwood and Iron Mill
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.
Our financial position remains stable, despite the unprecedented event of covid and the challenges that it brought.
CentrePeace has been able to offer a wide variety of events and groups to the local community. Wherever possible – and in the vast majority of cases – we offer our groups and workshops free of charge, covering tutor and materials costs with our earned income.
## **Some of the groups, workshops and events we have been able to provide this year have been:**
- Textile Tuesdays which started in November 2021 and is still ongoing. There are two sessions – morning and afternoon. The groups worked together to create a community awning over our outside seating area.
- We provided a wreath making workshop in December.
- We treated the volunteers to a Christmas dinner at a local venue.
- We have made a community collage, depicting the CentrePeace sign.
- There is a Crochet and Knit group on a Wednesday morning.
- We offer a holistic art group on a Thursday morning with all materials provided and a different activity each week.
- We have a music group on a Thursday afternoon, where instruments are provided. There is the opportunity to learn to play or to just join in and sing along.
- We hold a Friday afternoon quiz.
- We have held groups on a Saturday called ‘Life Journeys’ which is an open chat group for people to explore their journey in life.
- There is a meditation group that is held the last Saturday of the month and free for those that wish to join in.
- We offer energy healing, by qualified and in trainintrainee healers, on Wednesday and Friday afternoons which is also free of charge.
- We took all the volunteers out on a day boat tour around the bay as well as providing snacks and refreshments for the trip.
- In August we held a summer fair with various craft stalls, tombolas and raffles, alongside cake and sweet stalls. We sold handmade veggie burgers and had two sets of live music playing for the local community.
- At the end of summer, we had a summer sale in the charity shop, offering 5 items for £1.00 to the local community. We have also hosted a kilo sale for clothes where people can fill a bin bag of clothes for £5.00.
- In September we hosted a Mad Hatters Tea Party selling affordable Cream Teas to the local community as well as gifting free cakes and sweets.
- We hosted a ‘Feast for Peace’ to celebrate World Peace Day. We made a Dhal Curry which was served free to the local community as an opportunity for people to gather and to meet and speak with people they may not have previously met or encountered.
- In October we ran a First Aid course for the volunteers and staff.
- We provide ongoing Our ‘Natural Healing Therapy’
All our craft groups and other friendship groups provide mutual support. Many people find comfort just by being listened to in a friendly, attentive, non-judgemental way.
As well as creating income for the charity, both the **shop and cafe continue to provide a comfortable, welcoming and inclusive ‘first stop’ for anyone needing assistance** . The café is a real community hub where people meet up with friends, form new friendships and have a safe space to be. We have many people who come in almost every day and some every day, to take advantage of our low cost, nutritious meals. 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 each other to appointments and meetings. We have not increased our prices, despite extra costs, as we realise the importance of keeping costs down for the community at this time of rapidly increasing household bills.
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 help with other issues regarding, for example:
- Blue Badges
- Attendance allowance Pip forms
- Discretionary housing payments
- Booking covid vaccinations
- IT help
- Housing queries
- Help with gas and electric problems and queries
- Food parcels
- We provided nearly 70 Christmas hampers to families in the community who were identified as being in particular need by local schools. Enough food was put in each hamper for a celebratory meal as well as the basic foodstuffs and each member of the family received an age appropriate gift.
- We have provided work experience placements for young college students with additional needs. Two of the placements have stayed on to become permanent volunteers as they have felt safe and comfortable in the environment which has been provided for them.
- We have also worked with some mental health charities, Click Sergeant being one of them.
## **COUNSELLING SERVICE**
Our counselling service had to be closed during lockdown, of course and had remained a little diminished since, as people were still fearful of being in close contact. However, our new Counselling Co-Ordinator has been focusing on building numbers back up and we now have seven counsellors providing sixteen hours of free counselling. These numbers will keep growing as Rachael continues to liaise with the local counselling colleges.
## **VOLUNTEERS**
We cannot speak highly enough of our volunteers. They 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 our visitors. 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.
Some of our more vulnerable volunteers chose not to return after covid as being in an enclosed space with other people made them feel anxious. We are working hard to bring new volunteers on board and to make sure that those already with us are able to achieve to their full potential. This includes each volunteer having a folder, within which they can record any training, certificates or notes that they wish to make. Some of our volunteers have been with us right from the beginning – nearly ten years! All of them work with a dedication and commitment that we are truly grateful for.
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’.
## **CHANGES/IMPROVEMENTS THIS YEAR**
- Joint Centre Managers appointed, as explained above. This is working very well. Both ladies are wonderful with people and have a huge creative streak! This has led to many innovative ideas for workshops and provision for visitors and volunteers alike.
- A new Volunteer/Wellbeing Co-Ordinator, Lucy Gubbin has joined the team, to replace Maya who changed roles and has settled in well to become a very valuable member of the team.
- A new Counselling Co-Ordinator has come on board too. Rachael brings with her a wealth of experience, including having already set up a counselling department previously.
- We have many new workshops and events on a regular basis.
## **COMPLIANCE**
We are fully compliant with GDPR and our policies are reviewed on a regular basis.
All volunteers and staff working with food have access to relevant courses for their work. A First Aid course is offered on a regular basis.
## **FUNDING & SUSTAINABILITY**
We are still financially stable and are able to meet our day to day running expenses and employ a Café Co-Ordinator from earned income. It has been an expensive time, regarding this, over the last few months, as we have had to pay a temporary Co-Ordinator, as well as sick pay to our permanent one.
The trustees made the decision to increase spending on provision for visitors and volunteers as it was pointed out that our reserves were increasing. As a charity serving the community, we did not want to be seen to be ‘hoarding’ funds. We have held events for volunteers and offered extra, free of charge, workshops.
## **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.
**Charity Shop:** selling quality clothes and other items at real, affordable charity shop prices.
**Counselling Service:** A robust, professionally run, free counselling provision.
**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. **Health and Wellbeing:** People are able to come and talk problems through with a friend or member of staff.
**Signposting:** A comprehensive resource list of local services and provisions is available to our visitors.
## **SAFEGUARDING AND RISK MANAGEMENT**
Risk assessments are carried out on a daily basis, in the various areas of the centre.
Our safeguarding procedures are robust, real and regularly reviewed. Our Safeguarding Officers are the joint Centre Managers, Maya King and Dee Mulhall. We have external safeguarding consultants we can call upon to attend 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. 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**
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.
**Staff –** As mentioned above, we have had a complete change of staff, in all roles. It has been a challenging time but we hope that, as soon as the Café Co-Ordinator returns from sick leave, we will have a full complement of staff and less pressure on those who are covering the role.
**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 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. We are arranging more social events, 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. We also plan to have regular ‘International Menus’.
**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 various 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 continue to hold various fundraising events and our new Centre Managers have many ideas for next year.
## **In preparing this report, the trustees confirm that they have given due regard to the Charity Commission’s public benefit guidance, where relevant.**
