‘This Centre has given me wonderful 

support and I feel like 

I have a reason to get out of bed and achieve something.’ 

## **2022-23: A Summary** 

The past year was our first as partners in the newly formed Durham Mental Wellbeing Alliance (DMWA), alongside Waddington Street Centre, Home Group, If U Care Share, Richmond Fellowship, Mental Health Matters, and Creative Support as well as subcontractors Hub of Wishes, Cruse Bereavement Support, Aspire, Welfare Rights, Pact House, Relate, and Stamp It Out. 

This has proved to be a very positive experience, providing a greater opportunity to work in close collaboration with partner providers to maximise resources available across County Durham, with a ‘one door’ approach ensuring the most appropriate and positive outcomes through seamless access to a broader range of services. 

Following the end of Covid restrictions, we have seen a steady return of attendees as well as a significant increase in referrals from individuals, GPs, Care Coordinators, Social Workers, Health Care Workers, and Community Mental Health Teams. 

## **Durham Mental Wellbeing Alliance Launch Event** 

Staff and Trustees attended an event at the Radisson Blu Hotel in Durham to celebrate the official launch of the Durham Mental Wellbeing Alliance in June 2022. This provided an excellent opportunity to meet partner colleagues and learn more about each other’s organisations.

## **Peer-Led Sessions** 

A great success over the last two years has been the development of peer-led sessions, which have provided a route into volunteering for attendees who feel ready to offer support to others. We now have two Textiles groups (one of which creates blankets and quilts for vulnerable children through Project Linus), a gardening group, and several crafting sessions that are run by attendees. 

The people who use St Margaret’s Centre are our biggest strength, providing a warm welcome and understanding to new attendees, and increasing these peerled activity and support groups will play a big part in our plans for the future. 

## **The Old School Community Café** 

In November 2022 our community café was temporarily closed due to the resignation of the Café Manager to take up new employment. 

Though regrettable, this has provided an exciting opportunity to evaluate the running the café and develop plans to improve the space for use of the local community. These plans are discussed further in this report. 

## **Ushaw Historic House Choir Concert** 

A multi- choir concert was held at Ushaw Historic House in March 2023, organised with the generous support of our patron, Dr Arnab Basu MBE. The concert raised £4,291.64 which was shared equally between Ushaw Historic House and St Margaret’s Centre charities. 

It was an excellent evening highly enjoyed by all who attended. Our grateful thanks go to Dr. Basu, Roger Muttitt, Head of Music at Durham School, the staff and volunteers at Ushaw Historic House, and all the musicians who took part. 

## **Energy Efficiency** 

As part of our continued investment into the centre, in the last year we have upgraded the building’s central heating system and installed LED lighting, improving our efficiency and increasing sustainability for the charity’s future. 

‘St Margaret’s Centre has given me focus on foggy days. I’ve made real friends and feel loved and accepted for being me.’

## ‘St Margaret’s Centre has brought order and hope to my life. A very valuable place and a haven in the gloominess.’ 

## **Volunteer Coordinator** 

We will hire a Volunteer Coordinator who will be responsible for developing and managing volunteering schemes throughout the centre, including the community café, craft shop, gardening groups, joinery workshop, wellbeing activities, and other areas that require support. The role will involve managing volunteers recruited from the community and attendees wishing to volunteer, including recruitment, training, placement, motivation, and ongoing supervision to recognise volunteers’ achievements and contribution to the centre. We anticipate that this will allow the centre to meet the soaring demand for our service by providing a wide range of volunteering opportunities, as well as increased activities and workshops supported by members of the community. 

## **Community Hub** 

Our Community Café has been closed since November 2022 following the departure of our previous Café Manager, which has given us an opportunity to evaluate the project and consider alternative ways of working to improve the the space. We plan to relaunch the cafe in August 2023 as a Community Hub with a timetable of groups and activities aimed at engaging local people. 

We will hire a Café Supervisor to support the day-to-day operation of the café, which will provide simple and affordable food options for people impacted by the cost of living crisis, as well as opportunities for those who may feel isolated in the community to gain support without the need for a formal referral to the centre. We plan to develop a timetable of both open social groups with activities such as games and crafts, and peer support groups for different groups within the community, such as men, young people, and new parents. 

This will be a volunteer-led space, offering opportunities for training and work experience in the areas of food preparation and customer service in a supportive environment that helps them to gain confidence as well as skills. The Volunteer Coordinator will supervise and monitor their progress, and ensure that learning needs are met to ensure quality and accessibility. We aim to open the Community Hub in late Summer 2023.

## **Craft Shop Relaunch** 

Our Craft Shop opened in late 2020 as a trial of a volunteer-led scheme to both provide meaningful work experience and training, as well as a source of income for the charity. Following an evaluation of this scheme, we have been refurbishing the shop to provide more space for volunteers to demonstrate skills and showcase a more diverse range of products made in the centre’s joinery workshop and craft rooms. This will be reopening to the public in late Summer 2023. 

## **Business Admin Apprentice** 

Following the start of the Durham Mental Wellbeing Alliance in April 2022, we have seen a significant increase in the number of referrals to the centre. This has resulted in considerable rise in administrative duties related to the processing of referrals, as well as collating data in areas such as finances and social value for reporting to the DMWA’s central management team. We will be hiring a Business Administration Apprentice in order to manage these areas, which will free up other staff for providing support and developing projects.

## **Marie has been attending St Margaret’s Centre’s arts and crafts classes for six months. She describes her experience below:** 

‘I was instantly welcomed, encouraged, and supported, not only by the small but mighty team that run the centre, but by the people who attend it too. I was met with kindness, compassion, understanding, and the profound knowledge that we all struggle, but beneath it all we are human beings with a unique story. 

No other centre has affected me like St Margaret’s. Its location, staff, people, and classes all create the perfect environment that, for the first time in my life, have helped me to truly begin my healing journey. Something genuinely unexpected has started to occur: I’m beginning to thrive. 

My goals and aspirations no longer feel unachievable. I feel inspired to push past my comfort zone and dream again. The words, ‘You’re doing so well!’ are repeated with so much conviction that I’ve started to believe them. I went in with an open mind and an open heart, and was met with open arms. I have met some wonderful people and made lots of new friends. I have gained a lot of new skills and learned to be more patient and kinder to myself, letting go of the need for perfection. My self-care has improved and my confidence gets stronger every day. 

It is with great pleasure that I am now stable enough to be able to join the team as a volunteer to lead my own classes. I no longer feel so alone, and purpose is slowly filling my life once more.’
