Methodist Asylum Project Middlesbrough Annual Report 2021-2022

This year has been a little easier than the previous two years and with the gradual lifting of Covid restrictions MAP has been able to start most of our face to face activities while still being mindful of the virus which is still with us.

Up until Christmas we continued to offer food, clothing, household essentials and created more of a social atmosphere at the Wednesday drop-in. Leading up to Christmas we were able to give out gifts for adults and children and also held a small party which was enjoyed by all.

Come and Chat, Teesville and the Redcar drop-in were all in operation but the numbers were small to begin with but slowly picked up. We continued to welcome new arrivals in Middlesbrough and Redcar and Cleveland areas and help them settle in their new communities.

In the new year we were fully open but still offering masks to volunteers and clients and it was so good to welcome back people who had not been able to attend before. The singing group started and performed at Stokesley Songfest to a packed audience who all enjoyed their enthusiastic performance.

At the end of 2021 Ailsa advised that she wished to retire in June 2022 after ten years as our project manager. The Board then started the recruitment process and were delighted to appoint Billy Barnes who was able to have a handover period with Ailsa before finally taking up the reins of this very challenging job. We had a packed social morning at Avenue for everyone to say their farewells and thank Ailsa for the tremendous work she has done for the project bringing new activities and supporting our clients especially during the past two years. We shall miss her greatly but wish her well in whatever the future holds for her.

In March we welcomed back Rose Hardman as our fund raiser who has been working very hard securing funding for our future projects.

It was a highlight of the year to once again spend a day on the beach at Saltburn enjoying games , lovely food and all in glorious sunshine.

My thanks go to Ailsa, Billy, Hamid, the volunteers, funders and supporters who continue to believe in MAP. We could not do this without you.

The Trustees continued to meet through zoom until June when we could finally return to face to face Board meetings. Sadly our trustee Brian Dummigan retired after many years with MAP as a volunteer and treasurer. We thank Brian for his dedication over these years and wish him well for the future.

I hope you enjoy reading this report.

Pat Martin Chair of Trustees

Welcome

In the past year we have welcomed and registered 326 new arrivals (205 men and 121 women, 152 of whom have also been helped with a 1-2-1 orientation to help settle them into Middlesbrough.

We continue to respond to individual needs as they arise and to extend our welcome at all our activities and events.

One very important development in recent times has been an increase in the number of people now taking up the possibility of studying ESOL and other subjects at Middlesbrough and Redcar and Cleveland colleges. This is of great benefit in helping with settling into life in the UK and in accessing services. Attendance comes with a bus pass that enables a little more freedom

Getting back to normal

After 18 months of lockdowns and restrictions, and a summer spent holding all our activities in the park, it was a real joy to re-start all our normal face to face sessions from September 2021 We took sensible precautions for the first 3 to 6 months. At first there were temperature checks on arrival, and compulsory masks. As time went on however, we were able to reach a point in Spring 2022 where most restrictions became personal choice.

It was a slow start. The 2-year break meant that there had been quite a lot of churn within the population. Many of those who had been coming regularly for sessions pre-pandemic had moved on. It has been a gradual process of spreading the word, meeting new people, and just making sure that we are always there, doing what we say we will do.

By spring of 2022 however, we had all our main regular services up and thriving again. The numbers attending each session are gradually rising, and we expect this to continue steadily. It has felt very, very good to be back!

Early Celebrations

Pinata aftermath at Christmas tea in Avenue 21.

It was a year of “firsts”, and Christmas 2021 at Avenue saw us try out a “mass gathering” for the first time post-covid. We were appropriately cautious, so held the event at Avenue with the doors standing open (and coats on inside!). Despite this, we enjoyed the party together.

Raquel, an El Salvadorean volunteer, had carefully crafted a pinata for us, building up papier Mache layers, decorating it with brightly coloured crepe paper, and filling it with sweets.

Other volunteers brought in delicacies from all over the world, and we enjoyed sharing food and fun, with music and singing in the background. A great first step back to normality.

Headlining at Songfest!

Thanks to the Darlington & Stockton Times for catching MAP at Songfest

After what seemed like years singing into screens, imagine our excitement to be given a headline slot at Stokesley Songfest! This was our first performance back after covid, and we had only been singing face to face for 4 weeks when the date came round . There is no denying that this added to the sense of jeopardy on the day. We felt under-rehearsed and were not entirely certain which of the group would actually arrive.

Due as ever to the astounding skills of leaders Emily Smith and David Pisaro, and to the enthusiasm and the gifted singing of the group and the soloists, we smashed it! Or at least that is what it felt like. We performed for an hour and during this time we gave it everything. We sang a meditative chant, in rounds, as we walked around the room, weaving in and out of the audience and desperately counting beats. Nike led a Nigerian call and response, her beautiful high clear voice floating out above us all. And Abdul sang a resounding Kurdish love song, to the astonishment of everyone including our group who had been rehearsing with him a totally different song. Chaos, music, and a profound pleasure. Thank you to Julia Haigh for including us in this wonderful event.

Spreading the load Increasing dispersal across Redcar & Cleveland

One area of real growth this year has been our work in Redcar & Cleveland, due to increased dispersal into Redcar & Cleveland. As pressure on asylum accommodation has increased, people have been placed across a wider area than previously, and the overall numbers have gone up. Nowhere has this been more noticeable than in Redcar.

We have been holding a weekly drop-in session in Redcar since 2016. A dedicated group of volunteers offered conversation class and social support, to a relatively stable group of local asylum-seekers. This has changed this year. We have had periods where new shared houses were opening in the area most weeks, and many new faces arriving in the drop-in every week as a result.

We were really pleased to move the location of the Redcar drop-in over to the Baptist Church on Park Avenue in autumn 2021. We can meet in a beautiful, welcoming space, and enjoy the buzz of all the other activities which go on in this building. There is a superb Community Grocery project which has welcomed our service-users both as customers and as volunteers.

We have felt very welcomed by this Church and all the other projects based here.

We have also really appreciated the support of Redcar & Cleveland Council. Building on the digital connectivity work which we did across the area during the pandemic, we were grateful to receive continued funding to allow us to provide Wi-Fi hubs in the asylum-seeker properties in Redcar & Cleveland.

Access to Wi-Fi provides a vital link for people who are living in places some distance from the main support services, as well as protecting their wellbeing through continued links with friends, and allowing for online learning.

Tending the crops Redcar Baptist church allotment.

Since early summer ESOL (English for Speakers of Other Languages) learners in Redcar have been able to follow their class with a time on the nearby church allotment. There has been a good take-up for this and some service users have grown their own seeds and planted them. This is a great opportunity for improved mental health and wellbeing as well as a rewarding effort as some food can be used by those growing it. Incidentally English continues informally on the plot as people are fascinated by the names of plants and their qualities (especially the weeds). Lots of questions are asked (including about cooking).

Cultural Crafting

We often hold sessions aimed at sharing awareness of aspects of British culture. These can be very useful for people recently arrived in the UK, whether it is explaining Bonfire Night (and framing expectations about the likelihood of loud noises!) or letting Santa visit a Christmas celebration….as he did at our Redcar drop-in in December 2021.

At Teesville drop-in the volunteers often go a step further. We have had pumpkin carving, all sorts of celebrations for Christmas, Hallowe’en, and Eid, and many birthday cakes. This Easter was a good example, with the weekly language class based around Easter-themed craft activities. A varied group, including people from Iraq, Pakistan, Turkey, England, Eritrea and Russia, absorbed in crafting Easter cards, and decorating hard-boiled eggs. We probably all remember feeling a bit puzzled when egg-rolling was first introduced to us as children, so imagine trying to explain it in a 2nd language, to an adult hearing of it for the first time! There were a lot of questions, including “Why?” and “How do you know who wins?”

Outdoor Wellbeing

Over the years we have enjoyed a lot of healing times outdoors with our service-users. We have had our regular trips to the seaside, and our walking groups. Even the time we spent teaching English outdoors during the last 2 years had its therapeutic, relaxing side.

This year we were happy to be invited by Ampleforth Abbey to spend a couple of days with them, in the beauty of their surroundings, but with the added dimension that our group were able to take part in productive tasks around the Forest School and Abbey grounds. This was really a pilot for a project that we would love to get off the ground more regularly, but even as standalone it was a superb experience for our service-users.

We took a group of about a dozen people who are seeking asylum in the Redcar area. We went up to Ampleforth for 2 separate full day trips, and everyone loved the experience of being outdoors, sharing food together, working and talking about dreams and plans for the project and the future.

The first day was based at the Forest School area, where the participants made birdboxes to be placed around the area and helped to prepare for school groups coming in later during the week.

The following week saw the group explore some of the more agricultural areas. There was a special moment when Ampleforth’s beekeepers were able to share their experiences (and a visit to their bees!) with a young man who has kept bees high in the mountains in Northern Albania.

“What can I tell you? I was happy there. Just happy” smiled Y , as we travelled home. “More than anything I like to build things. And, today, well it’s just….I built something, and I was happy”

The New Arrivals Pathway

MAP’s ability to reach out and work with new arrivals in the area relies heavily on a network of contacts who connect us with new people as they get here. For the last few years some superb work has been done by the North- East Migration Partnership and by the housing contractor Mears, to develop a pathway for connecting new arrivals with support charities right across the region. From May 2022 MAP has been delighted to be working with NEMP and Mears as the local “first point of contact” for new arrivals to Middlesbrough and Redcar & Cleveland.

We have found this to be an effective addition to our other referral routes, and we are undoubtedly able to reach a wider pool of people, and much more quickly.

It has also been good to be part of a partnership team comprising great voluntary sector partners like Action Foundation in Newcastle and FODI in Sunderland. The regular partnership meetings let us learn from the experiences of these partners, who have been working on the pathway for longer, and to share experiences.

Team Spirit in Redcar & Cleveland

Our football programme in Middlesbrough, expertly delivered for us by Middlesbrough Football Club Foundation, has been thriving for years. This year, our focus was on trying to get a similar programme off the ground in Redcar. Steady determination has been the key to this. We were delighted to be offered a great venue at Redcar Athletic, and have really appreciated the welcome given by the club and the staff there. We have had 3 attempts at getting the sessions running, each time finding attendance dropping off as first one then another participant found a college class clashing with the training sessions, or simply lost enthusiasm. By Spring of 2022 however it began to feel as if we have a critical mass of potential players amongst the asylum-seekers living here, and enough commitment for the sessions to gel.

A definite highlight for the squad was having 2 teams playing at the annual Justice First Football Tournament in June 2022. The Middlesbrough team reached the quarter-finals, whilst Redcar only just missed reaching the same stage. Probably the most satisfying sight, however, was walking around the pitches, greeting old friends, and seeing just how many of the other teams from other organisations had current or past “MAP players” playing for them. It was just great to see so many people from past years, and to see how far they have travelled.

Trip to Saltburn

After all the difficulties presented by Covid we could finally go to the seaside together. We had a wonderful day at Saltburn enjoying good weather and fellowship. We booked a beach hut to act as our base and the day went swimmingly (literally in the case of a few hardy souls).

We took two coaches of asylum seekers and many of our wonderful volunteers went ahead to prepare or met us at the coach stop to aid navigation through the Valley Gardens to the beach.

All our service users had a wonderful time with beach football, paddling (and a bit of limited swimming), chips and ice cream, a wonderful Kurdish family meal on the beach which was delicious and very filling and lots of fun. It was a time to relax and forget for a while some of the daily stresses people are under.

Some of us dared the steps on the way back, exhausting but fun. Several people took the cliff lift and were delighted at such a rare experience. While climbing the steps a young Kurdish man said to me “This is my best day in England”

During the day there was the chance to catch up with volunteers and service users and it was wonderful to talk in such a relaxing and positive environment and to see people so happy and free in spirit.

We had a few families with us, and the children delighted in playing football and frisbee. The sense of togetherness was palpable as, in some cases three generations shared a common experience.

We were blessed as the great and unpredictable British weather was on our side for most of our stay, the sun shone, and it was balmy.

The beach hut was a wonderful resource for refreshments, a touch base for information, and a drying off room for those who got a bit wet.

On the coach going home there was a relaxed and contented mood, everybody was pleasantly tired and at ease.

Feedback was all positive and a desire for more chances to get out of town was expressed by many.

We hope to return next year and to build upon the excitement and enjoyment felt by our service users in the year ahead.

“It’s Good to breath the fresh air” (quote: African man).

Billy Barnes New MAP Project Manager

I will keep this brief. I started my role in June 2022 and was delighted for the opportunity and privilege afforded by this position.

I am an Anglican priest, former general nurse, teacher, independent living adviser and community worker. I have served in community service in many different forms for most of my life and maintain a profound belief in the importance of social justice, tolerance, and inclusion especially for those so misrepresented and often wilfully ignored; values daily reflected in MAP’s work and ethos.

I have a debt of gratitude to Ailsa for helping me settle in and learn. Ailsa also wrote much of the first part of this report for which I am also grateful, she retired in June, and we wish her a wonderful and fulfilled retirement and success in all her plans.
