Due East Annual General Meeting
Chairs Report
The previous year has, continued to be a challenging one with a number of rule changes concerning the management of the country out of the Covid situation impacting on our work.
The change in stance concerning removal of lockdown, mask wearing, Covid testing and public engagement post positive testing has left a large number of people within our community concerned and confused producing a lack of confidence to commit to engaging in activities in a way they had previously.
Due East continued to support our community using the strategies developed during the height of the pandemic by communicating via newsletters and digital platforms as well as working with other agencies to ensure activities and opportunities across East Brighton were made as accessible as possible both physically and digitally.
This was imperative as there continues to be a risk of a negative physical and mental impact being brought about by the continued levels of isolation that the lack of confidence in the process has produced.
To this end in partnership with local community development providers, The Trust for Developing Communities we facilitated a range of ‘pop’ up events to consult on the refresh of the Neighbourhood action Plan. This was done in order to determine the progress made on priorities identified in 2018 as well as ensuring local voice to determine new or changed priorities. This process is continuing with a range of door knocking activities in specific areas of the neighbourhood before culminating in a large consultation event with all stakeholders and local residents.
Due East has this year continued to work with the NHS and TDC to enable us to access Healthy Neighbourhood funding. This year we have supported funding to which has enabled us to fund 9 local groups to provide activities to benefit
the health of local people to a value of £4400. A further £500 was provided to a local group by way of donation to develop and support inclusivity to enable participation of children whilst still in need whose parents didn’t qualify for Holiday Activity funding. These primarily being families on low income.
As an infrastructure organisation we continued to support groups both physically and financially to enable them to improve and sustain residents and their members. Our further focus was to ensure that all the opportunities for support were available to all so by collaborating with a range of partner agencies and organisations our communications approach was instrumental in ensuring people knew where to get the help they required.
By maintaining an active Facebook presence we continue to link in to the neighbourhoods digital networks ensuring we could get information regarding new opportunities and information regarding where to go for financial help, food etc to a huge number of people.
The lack of digital access in the neighbourhood was addressed by the production of quarterly newsletters containing this information and much more, again delivered primarily by local residents and other volunteers. We are pleased to have developed a working partnership with East Brighton Co-op that will both help us support the community by creating funding opportunities as well as access to engage with the community through their venue.
The Due East Trustees have assisted in ensuring local people have a voice in a potentially impactful proposed housing development as well as working with a range of local people and providers to collaborate in addressing needs being identified in the northern area of Whitehawk. This has included assisting in bringing groups and people together to consider a range of solutions ranging from Youth provision, skatepark and or park development.
Finally we continue the support of Hawks café who have been instrumental in providing a Holiday Activity Fund playscheme as free activity for local children throughout the summer holiday. This has helped bring parents together and inspire them to develop towards producing their own children and families activities.
Despite the uncertainty and challenges of the year we are proud of what we’ve achieved and look forward to a new year of empowering local people to create and deliver solutions that meet local needs.
