Methodist Asylum Project Middlesbrough Annual Report 2019-2020

A warm welcome

It is stating the obvious, but this year fell into 2 distinct halves for us as it did for all of you.

There was before…. and now there’s now….

�� whether we would have enough chairs, and dancing!!!

I volunteer for my heart… it helps my heart and my spirit A MAP volunteer

��

As with all other Charities MAP has had to adjust its services following the restrictions due to Covid-19. You will read in the following pages of the way we have tried to meet these challenges and we are still exploring new avenues to keep in touch with our service users and provide meaningful activities while not being able to meet together.

The extra work this has placed on our Project Manager Ailsa, our volunteer co-ordinator Hamid and our volunteers supporting our service users during these unprecedented times has been immense and we thank them all for going that extra mile while being mindful of their own situation.

Since March the Trustees have continued to meet regularly through Zoom to discuss and agree the different ways we can use to engage with as many service users as possible especially those recently dispersed to the Redcar & Cleveland area.

Earlier this year Mohamad El-Yatim felt he could no longer give �� him for his contribution and are very grateful that he is still continuing to keep our website updated.

Over the past 10 years Rev. Sue Greenwood has been a dedicated Chaplain and Trustee to MAP. During this time she has been there �� in many different roles at the drop-in and has planned and led the annual nativity service in Avenue church. This event has been a highlight in our calendar and a very moving experience for all those taking part or being part of the congregation.

Sue retired as Circuit Superintendent in August, returning to her �� her a long and happy retirement and thank her for all she brought to MAP over the past years.

�� in August. Stan worked for many years with the groups at Come and Chat and was greatly loved by all who he helped along their journey to understanding our very complicated English language while making many long term friendships.

�� continued support of our funders and also Vicky Hone, our fundraiser, who has successfully sought extra funding for our expanding needs due to this pandemic. Our grateful thanks to you all for making this possible.

No one can tell how long this new way of working will last but with your help MAP will continue to support our service users, by keeping in touch, running as many classes on line as possible and distributing material needs when we can.

Your continued support and belief in our work gives us all the strength to continue.

Stay safe and well.

Pat Martin, Chair of Trustees

On the whole, I would say using Zoom is far easier with people who have a reasonable grasp of English.
