## **Crabtree Farm Community Association** ## **Annual Report for the year 2020-21** ## **Introduction:** Crabtree Farm Community Association is an entirely resident-led voluntary organisation operating in the Crabtree Farm and surrounding neighbourhood of Bulwell in Nottingham. The Association has an agreement with Nottingham City Council to manage the Crabtree Farm Community Centre where the Association delivers its services and holds meetings. ## **Activities and services:** During the year, COVID-19 social isolation and lockdown measures affected everyone and limited the levels of activity and opening of the centre. In spite of this the following activities and services were delivered: ## **Food Bank** The Crabtree food bank was already established in partnership with Fair Share and this continued throughout the year when permitted. ## **UK Food Aid** A new charity being established by a local resident was provided with a start-up office space. ## **SPICES** A partnership with Nottingham Trent University School of Public Health to conduct health surveys and provide health advice relating to cardiovascular disease and lifestyle. ## **Police Cadets** Nottinghamshire Police used the centre to deliver Police Cadet training sessions for local young people. ## **Zumba** During lockdown, we organised and delivered ‘street Zumba’ exercise sessions to help people stay healthy. These sessions were mobile, moving from street to street attracting many participants. After lockdown the sessions continued indoors. ## **Door Supervisors** Training for accredited door supervisors was provided in the centre for local people in partnership with one of Nottinghamshire’s further education colleges. ## **‘Rebalancing the Outer Estates’** Another local charity, ‘Rebalancing the Outer Estates’ continued to work with the centre to promote their activities, carry out resident consultations, and organise community ‘fun days’. ## **Meal Deliveries** During COVID lockdown, the community café operated by the Association at the Centre was closed. Working with local residents we identified local households who were vulnerable and used our kitchen facilities to prepare nutritious meals which were then hand-delivered to vulnerable households in the area by volunteers.
