Trustees Report 2024 – 25
It has been an excellent year for Community Heart Productions. There have bee n several projects that have done well this year inc l uding the National Lottery Fund supported ‘Growing Together’ programme. This has helped to t each children and young people to grow food i n Bagillt Community Garden and provided training, s k ills, volunteering and opportunities.
Nature Link is a new project th a t connects youngsters to nature and has been p i loted successfully in 2024. The search for funding t o develop this work has started and we are co n fident that this is an initiative that will create many b enefits as we move forward. We have undertak e n robust consultation and are working closely with th e community to ensure needs are met.
Volunteering with vulnerable a dults has been an amazing way to provide s kills, promote food sustainability and develop the community garden. We have had weekly sessio n s with Hft and other partners to support adults wi t h learning disabilities to participate fully i n food growing and contributing to the community. We have seen participants gain skills, knowl e dge and confidence. They have also built an importa n t social network.
‘Bagillt Warm Welcome Hub’ w as funded by Warm Spaces Fund and targeted t hose struggling with heating and eating over winter. I t was a big success with some sessions attracti n g up to 80 + people. Young, old, vulnerable and isol a ted people came together. Families were able to access free food and activities in a warm safe space t h at provided support.
Kids Clubs are now running s m oothly in both Flint and Bagillt. The childre n are involved in art, nature, volunteering, gardening and educational trips. They help to inform the p rogramme and are a vital part of organising events a n d getting the community involved.
After a few years of struggle d ue to the COVID pandemic, it feels like this y ear has helped us to attract more funders and start w ork on building our sustainability. We are see k ing to attract further social investment, more partners and develop opportunities.
Trustees would like to thank fu n ders, partners, staff and volunteers. We are impr e ssed and inspired by the amount of work achieved an d are extremely grateful for the growing support o f the community.
Next year we seek to develop c u rrent projects and build on Nature Link as we r ecognise the need to protect the environment and inv o lve young people in the sustainability of our pla n et.

Secretary (Trustee) 25/05/25.
