catalyst for its member organisations designed to meet local need and support the long-term
revitalisation of Swanage and the surrounding areas.
The Trust is composed of a range of member organisations whose aims are to meet the need5 of the
community and in particular relief from poverty, ill health and disadvantage, encouragement of
increased employment opportunities and improved access to arts, culture and fitness activities.
Its plans and activities include
the establishment and development of income generating asset bases to ensure future
viability and sustainability.
supporting its member organisations to improve the wellbeing of the community by offering
strategic direction and administrative and supervisory oversight
providing pooled charitable resources, advice, and support to other organisations sharing
the same objectives, thereby offering economies of scale and reduced operating costs.
work collaboratively with other key stakeholders, including local and statutory authorities,
to provide the community with key projects which are essential to meet local needs and
address social and economic deprivation.
In all its activities the Trustees have due regard to the Charity Commission's guidance on public
benefit.
Activities carried out under the governance of the Trust are described below.
ACHIEVEMENTS, PERFORMANCE, AND FUTURE PLANS
Following a Community Asset Transfer from Dorset Council, the Trust took possession of the,
previously underused, Swanage Day Centre and Swanage Children's Centre, in March 2024. Together
with the Centre, also owned by the Trust, and forming part of the same site, the whole complex has
been renamed the Focus Centre. The intention is to integrate the buildings into a multigenerational,
Wellbeing Hub. With the support of Dorset Council and Swanage Town Council. A collaborative
approach is being adopted to increase the number of services available to the local Communitv.
These community services will be accommodated in managed, low cost, rooms, hired out for that
purpose. The Trust has also linked up with Dorset Council to provide a Family Hub, as part of the
Dorset Family Hub network funded by central Government.
The front end of the Focus Centre, facing High Street, has been converted to a Welcome Lounge,
since the year end, and a separate Community Café is planned. The Welcome Lounge is a
comfortably seated area staffed by two Assistants and volunteers, trained in signposting local people
to activities and services that they need, both on and off site. They work closely with Wellbeing

Swanage to provide and promote a signposting service right across Swanage and the surrounding
villages.
To augment funding from existing Trust resources, local grant support has also been forthcoming
and more is promised. Additionally, a substantial private donation has been forthcoming and
pledged for the future.
The Trusts Wellbeing Swanage initiative aims to develop a vibrant, sustainable and resilient local
community with the availability of servites to match to enhante the health and wellbeing of local
residents. The Wellbeing Swanage website has been launched and Community Connectors who are
also volunteers recruited to signpost people to existing resources and identify gaps. Through our
members we continue to contribute to the wellbeing of the community.
Purbeck Area Dementia Friendly Community continued running a Cafe event, "Making Memories,"
for those living with dementia and their carers at the Mowlem. At the Swanage and Wareham Rugby
Club we support a similar group, the 'Forget Me Not Club, led by Age UK. At the Emmanuel the choir,
"Singing for Pleasure,, also continued with good attendance levels. At Bestwall Allotments in
Wareham we maintain an allotment as a resource for wellbeing for people living with dementia. Our
fundraising to employ a second Admiral Nurse continues apace and although we are short of our
target, a meeting has been scheduled with the local NHS Trust and Dementia UK to take this
forward. We are hoping that a date to start the recruitment process could be agreed which will take
several months. We have continued our membership of the "Happiness Project" which provides a
interactive projector to engage and stimulate participants 'interest. As a 'one off, we opened a
charity shop in Swanage with the support of a local estate agent for two weeks. We continue to
promote initiatives to SUPPOrt dementia in Purbeck and engage in events to raise awarenes5 in the
community. We are looking forward to a busy year ahead and appreciate the support we have
received from the community.
The Swanage Youth Club continues to support open access youth activities at Herston Village Hall
and neighbouring outdoor public space owned by Swanage Town Council. There are two sessions,
currently one for year 6 youngsters and one for years 7-9. The aim is for the youth club to grow over
the years to cater for up to 16 or even 18 year olds, to build resilience and improve wellbeing and
health. It also links into the Swanage Youth Strategy to make best use of resources for youth across
the town.
Swanage Artion for Refugees (SARI continued to support Ukrainian refugees in Purbeck through its
Purbeck Connect Ukroine project. English lessons for adults and Ukrainian lessons for children were
held regularly on Saturday mornings at Emmanuel 83Ptist Church, Swanage, alongside a coffee
morning session for Ukrainian refugees and volunteers. Additional English classes were given during
the week. Social meetings and outings to local places of interest were arranged with the Ukrainians
throughout the year. We were also represented at a number of events organised by other Eroups in
the community, strengthening the bond between the Ukrainian5 and local people. Various joint
activities were held, focusing on issues such as visas and employment. Where necessary, SAR
continued to give practical support to the refugees by providing necessities such as clothing and
household goods, and help with transport to essential appointments. This was done with the
aSSlStance of charities such as The Wardrobe Foundation and Besom.

of living problems, high fuel bills and low or seasonal wages that characterise this part of our seaside
town. Herston also has many elderly or disabled residents as well as residents who are poorly or
temporarily housed.
To support this community, we offer a Toddlers Playgroup, Youth Club, Craft Circle, and other
leisure activities. We also run a Community Cafe. The cafe runs weekly and hosts Citizens Advice
Bureau as well as Digital Helpers who help people with computer or mobile phone issues. It also
houses a Community Pantry that brings unused food from local Supermarkets and 15 offered free or

are supported by rental income from leisure activities, donations and grants from our wider
community such as Swanage Carnival.

projett. Our Rebuild Fundraising Team has raised significant funds this year. We have made and sold

RISK MANAGEMENT
The Trustees believe that the key risks for the Trust are..
Ensuring effective management and oversight of the various Members which have expanded
rapidly in number since the Trust was formed.
Ongoing sourcing of funding, whether from grant making bodies, corporate and personal

grant funding now in evidence the Board is mindful of long-term sustainability issues.

members to serve the Trust's diverse activities.
Recruitment of appropriately skilled and qualified part-time and full-time employees as the
Trust continue to expand its activities.
Maintenance of adequate governance and financial reporting systems to produce a range of
financial and other data information for a comprehensive overview of Trust activities for
Board purposes.
The Trustees address these risks via..
An Operational Manual to which all Member Organisations must adhere.
The Reserves Policy protects against over-spending and the need for access to fund raising
expertise will be addressed as regards the major projects under consideration.
The Trust is actively seeking suitable personnel for the forthcoming major developments.
The Board has the services of a professionally qualified Accountant with charity expertise
and experience to support this work.
