TRUSTEE REPORT
By Elaine Norton (Chairperson)
ONE VOICE IMMINGHAM DISTRICT (CIO)
ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING MAY 2024
The work of One Voice continues to be of benefit to the community and is actively seen to
be making a difference in many ways. Within the last year there have been many
achievements to be proud of but it is important to me a chair of One Voice that we always
recognise that there is always room for improvement and development in relation to the
work of One Voice.
We currently have 5 Trustees: Myself Elaine Norton, Sarah Habbershaw, Leanne McGlennon,
Andrew Palmer and Michelle Dziobon.
l Elaine Norton is the appointed Chair and Sarah Habbershaw is the appointed Vice Chair. We
hold monthly steering group meetings. These meetings are held at the Civic Centre on
Pelham road the second Tuesday of each month at 6 .30 pm. They are an open meeting
anyone is welcome to attend. Partner agencies are invited to attend as and when required.
There are many organisations that have supported One Voice and continue to have effective
working relationships with us, their conslstent support is very much appreciated and highly
valued. I would like to thank all the supporting partners who have been continually
committed to working with One Voice as and when it has been need they have shown their
support in a range of different ways as together we try to make a difference. I truly believe
that together we are stronger and as we build on each other's strengths it is through this
partnership work that a difference has been made for our community. We continue to try
and foster positive working relationships with the community to improve the opportunities
available One Voice has consistently been involved in a range of forums that link in with
community development across NELC and as Chair l attend these meetings to ensure the
voice of Immingham, Habrough and stallingborough residents is represented and heard. We
have monthly representation at the following forums:
VSCE Alliance
NELC youth Alliance
Mental Health Alliance
Food Forum

These forums have developed positive links through partner organisations which have added
value to the comrnunity and increased opportunities for the area through a partner
approach. We have shared resources, encouraged and supported community consultation
this has encouraged new services or activities being offered in our area and saved services
frorn being withdrawn from our communities. These partnerships enable us to shape and
influence services offered within our community.
We continue to face changes and challenges and successes within our worl< however I feel
all of these offer greater opportunities for us as we move forward, there will always be
aspects of our work we need to develop and focus on further, to ensure we are working
productively across all aims and although many aspects of our worl< meet multiple airns and
ensure we are worl<ing in the most effective ways to support our community. We are
continually learning through lived experience within our work.
Communication is a key factor of our work we are utilising a range of communication tools,
The activities we are offering increase face to face engagement opportunities and this
something we need to make the most of and develop further as it is evident that there is
still most definitely a need to continue to develop different and creative ways to continue
engaging with the community. I feel that it is important to reflect on ourselves as
individuals as well as a CIO and trustees, looking at our roles and how we individuallv
contribute towards the work of One Voice to ensuring we truly represent our comrnunity's
views and needs and are working productively to make a difference in relation to the needs
of the community.
I believe our Reaching community project has been our most enabling and successful
project. It was originally linked with the hope that would potentially meet the needs of the
community until a building can be gained for the town to reduce social isolation. This hope
has continued for longer than expected. We initially received a grant for 3 years which
changed to a 5 year project due to covid and budget underspends the lottery were very
happy with the success of our project and encouraged us to apply for continuation funding
which we were successful in gaining in 2023 to offer a further 3 years of the project.
The activities are planned in response to the needs and interests of the community
members. The activities are held at various locations in the town and offer
intergenerational engagement. We have reached approx. 2000 beneficiaries and are
currently offering 10 sessions a wee1< with a wide range of activities to suit all interests. We
have utilised communication tools as part of this project to raise awareness of what's on
offer in the town and increase awareness. This also links in with the PCC funded Outreach
Project to encourage positive engagement. This project involves a team of youth workers
visiting areas that have been identified as areas that have increased anti-social behaviour
problems the aim of this project is to raise awareness of activities available for young

people and to identify any gaps in provision or barriers that prevent them from engaging in
them encouraging them to engage in positive activities.
An overview of our activity is detailed below.
We have transferred from a charity to a CIO Charitable Incorporated Organisation.
We have been able to offer a wide. range of activities through the reaching
communities lottery grant. This is now beginning its 7 th year after gaining
continuation funding, Held a full day celebration event with a packed programme of
free entertainment.

inance Detalls
Our Current financial situation remains healthy our main source of funding is the
grant from the National Lottery which is to enable us to contlnue to deliver our
community project for another three years. Our income increased considerably
after Covid due to us being able to resume activitles along with receiving grants
from Northeast Lincolnshire councRI to deliver Youth activities and cookery
courses. Our main costs are focussed around.paying self employed sessional
workers and facilitators and room hire costs. Funds are restricted to specific
projects or specific uses within a project in line with ￿ndIng requirements as
outlined in our accounts.

Sarah Habbershaw oversees our accountlng and paperworli in relation to our
financial situatlon. With the support of a self-employed worker who works on our
accounts monthly. Our accounts are independently examined as requlred and all
documents are submitted to the Charlty Commission. The financial reporting
period was changed to bring our reporting period in line with the financlal year as
recommended by the accountant this WAII resume to a 12-month reporting period
from April 2024.
WHAT'S NEKr?
As we embrace the 15th year of One Voice, I feel our focus must be to continue to work on strengthening
the good foundations we have built since 2009 the work we do is successful in many ways, and it is evident
it makes a difference and is of benefit of the community we serve, We hope to progress the vision of a
community buildin8 as we now have an opportunityto work in partnership with another organisation to
try and make this dream reality. Plans have been drawn up for Initial costings and we are in the early
stages of developlng this project however we are very aware that we need extra help and support to
ensure the slcills and expertise required for this are available, l am very keen to mentor people to learn
different aspects of our work, so it isn't as dependent on individuals fulfilling the roles of planning and
overseeing activities, funding requirements admin and finance responsibilities this is important for the
long-term success and sustainability of One Voices work in the community. We need to consider long term
sustainability as we have faced some challenge5 due to us relying on volunteer to carry out key factors of
our work.
