Introduction The Haven Centre: A Community Pillar since 2014 The Haven [St3plefordl inaugurated the Haven Centre on Wadsworth Rd in 2014. This centre remains dedicated to serving the Stapleford community in accordance with its charitable mission. Meeting New Challenges in 2024 As we entered 2024, we faced new challenge5. In addition to our church services and meetings, we ran over ten community-focused programmes aimed at providing support to the two m05t disadvantaged communities in our borough. Thanks to generous funding, we have been able to sustain our Food Bank, assisting numerous households experiencing financial difficulties. We are deeply thankful to the many volunteers who stepped up to help with food collections and deliveries. Our Toddler group is flourishing, just like the other groups in the building. It's wonderful to witness the growth of Creative Hand5 Child Care, CGL, Social Souls, Beeston Players, the Men's Mental Health Group, the charity shop, and the café, 311 while we continue to Sustain this invaluable community resource center. We will continue to adapt and change with the trends and needs of our community. ANNUAL REPORT 202411 Charity Number 1156295
OPERATIONS 2024 saw the continued development of our services. We have found some of the adjustments we made, regarding staffing, brought challenges, but it meant we were able to focu5 on building towards the future. We have some fresh faces as well as the return of familiar faces. Although our goal has been to expand and move forward, our primary focus has been on developing and strengthening our existing foundations. Food-bank continued to see an upturn in demand and, as always, the team of volunteers have served the community well this year. Community Café [open oneday each week, with FREE soft play and Wi-Fi. Super Tots [stay and play group, two sessions per weekl CGL lan agency based in our centre supplying support and health checks for recovering addicts] Social Souls - work experience for adults with learning difficulties IV4 In addition, providing personal and spiritual support for those who seek it, and opportunities for personal development. The church continued to provide. Weekly worship service Weekly Bible study groups Counselling & support opportunities to develop gifts & abilities. Food-bank Management of the centre The heating system remains a considerable challenge since the gas boiler stopped functioning in 2020. The existing boilers are beyond economical repair. Thankfully, we have a backup immersion heater for hot water, ensuring a consistent supply. Unfortunately. Nottinghamshire County Council has not been able to provide any solutions for our heating issue. Due to the terms of our lease, we cannot pursue permanent fixes. Since September, we have relied on portable electric heaters, and additionally, we invested in a few diesel heaters to maintain room usability during the coldest months. While these measures were helpful, the winter proved to be quite challenging, significantly affecting our energy bills and the overall usability of the building. We are actively seeking solutions in collaboration with the council. We have continued streaming our in-person Sunday services online. allowing those that are house bound or geographically distanced to join online. We were also able to join other churches from The NG Network to have joint service5. Ongoing work and maintenance to the fixtures and fittings of the building continued. We were able to continue improving the grounds due to volunteers and the hard work of Social Souls. ANNUAL REPORT 202412 Charity Number 1156295
