support for the community of Swanside.
Achievements and performance
Swan5ide has remained a vital Service in Knowsley throughout the 2024 year. The continued 5UPPOrt from the local
council, local businesses and the local community has helped allow the centre continue its services.
The centre wa5 5ucce5sful in securing further funding frorn the National Lottery and a150 the Neighbourhood Lottery. The
funds have enabled th& centre to recruit various important roles to continue their services including 3 p13y coordinator,
volunteer coordinator and caretaker. It has also helped contribute towards the centre manager's salary, utility bills and
the day to day running costs of the charity.
The Lottery funding and the new roles created has enabled Swanside to offer more free and paid plèces at children's
before and after school groups. This supports working farnili@s in the community as well 8s families struggling with food
poverty and hardship.
Swanside secured further funding from Knowsley Council and which enabled the centre to continue their family groups,
help with food costs and bring in a forestry school teacher to work outside their groups. Separate funding from the local
Council has again secured the Winter Wellness and Hardship Funds which continues to support the community with food
hampers, warm clothing and food vouchers.
