Shiremoor Health Advice Resource Project

Annual General Meeting 20 20 – 2021 Chair’s Report We thought that last year was extremely challenging but this year was even more difficult for residents. The continuation of the lock down, the food parcels fell on the shoulders of our volunteers. The demand for advice, help with transport, household furniture, clothes and financial help increased. We realised how much we missed John Wood, our advice worker who died suddenly.

We were able to assist over 220 residents with DWP benefits, blue badge applications, housing matters and many other needs. Our home redelivery of food parcel extended to 52 homes. This service was funded from donations and personal gifts. During the financial year we received no grants as money was short everywhere. Pat, our fundraiser, organised and took part in a sponsored event in her wheel chair, from North Shields ferry to St Mary’s Island. This will become an annual event. Shiremoor is about 4 miles from Meadow Well and many of their residents were re located to Shiremoor without the support that was available to them in Meadow Well.

We provide clothes, household goods, furniture, books, bedding and kitchen utensils.

Volunteers have visited 36 residents regularly and signposted them to the appropriate service for further help. from North Tyneside Council services via our elected Members. We look forward to normality returning in the next few years when our plans to extend our services and the upgrading of our kitchen can start – just need the finances.

I would like to sincerely thank all of our Volunteers and friends who have worked tirelessly to keep our services operating.

SHIREMPPR HEALTH ADVICE RESOUCE PROJECT]] SHARP

We have survived a very difficult period of time, no core funding, lock down, high demand for services and storms which caused severe damage.

We have lost some of our key volunteers and clients.

It is now time to look forward to the future wnd our services to the Community.

A new estate has been completed across the road to us and we have met a few of the residents..

Shiremoor is a rural area that is dependant on public transport for essential services. We are situated at the heart of the estate with two bus stops outside.

Having listened to residents during the lock down and since at our Warm Welcome drop in , we are looking to up grade our building to offer more activities for the elderly and disabled. Over the nexr couple of years we will be completely renovating the inside and outside, It will happen in stages.

We will be dependant on gifs, dtonations,grants and good will to complete the programme.

So far we have been overwhelmed with offers of help from qualified businesses. Stage 1 Move kitchen to a larger room Stage 2 Provide Café area Stage 3. Provide Wellbeing services in old Kitchen Stage 4 Provide TToilet facilities for disabld Stage 5 Back garden plans Stage 6 Decorate all rooms.

We have started stage one and we hope to have an open day in July for residents and finders to see work so far and view the plans for the next stages.

Thank you
