Summary of the main Response to Covid-19
achievements
ofthe charity
during the year
Food Parcels 8 Essentials
We used our weekly delivery slot at The Felix Project and the donations
from Street games,
Inkind Direct and Kitchen Social to obtain as much
food, toiletry essentials
and sports equipment
to form weekly care
package's to go out to the most affected and vulnerable
families. Only
having a Smart car available at the start, we packed
itto the brim, and
thus started our weekly deliveries. The following weeks we hired out
Zipcars as the number offamilies had risen due to partnering
up with
local schools and adding their vulnerable
families to our list ofdeliveries.
The deliveries
continued
for the whole year, although
the numbers
of
families supported
became less as we were able to referred them onto
specialist services (food banks, early help); at the peak ofthe pandemic
we were supporting
over 70families. A family quoted "It's the constant
week in week out support,
you have kept up without fail. No other
blessing has been greater than this. God Bless your hard work."This
year we delivered
over 5000 family food parcels.
Sports, Play 8 Arts Resources
As soon as we heard there was a possibility
ofa lockdown,
we had
prepared
over 40 'Go Bags' for our participants
to take home on the last.
day that we were able to run sessions at Roundwood
Youth Club. The
bag included;
Frisbees, rulers, rubbers,
pens, Pedometers,
deodorant
spray, cones, small balls, a few other little bits and a football. We knew it
would be vital to prep and make sure the children
have something
to take
home, many ofthem repeated the same thing saying "they didn't have a
lot ofthe bag's contents at home. " After the first lockdown was officially
announced
and we knew our efforts had to continue
throughout
this
period. Other items distributed
to households
were tennis rackets, art
supplies boxes, books and home fitness equipment
for the whole family.
Over 125families received resources to support
learning,
play and
physical
activity.
1-2-1Support calls LDoorstep Visits
Our Coaches intentionally
stayed
in contact with some ofour (most.
vulnerable)
young people, checking
in on them with weekly calls to
monitor their overall wellbeing
and mental
health with consent from both
parent and young person. The calls also helped us get feedback on what
online activities, sports equipment
or anything
else they required. 356
doorstep visits were made
in the first lockdown.
Online Zoom Sessions
Being thrown
out ofroutine and being less active has a massive effect on
our mental
health,
with this in mind we strived to continue the
engagement
with our young people to provide a sense of normality
in this
strange time. Among our coaches and external partners,
we were able to
bring a weekly variety ofstructured
zoom sessions assessable to young
people, and the whole family. These weekly sessions consisted offitness
sessions,
quiz's, yoga, circuit training,
dance, drama, 1-2-1 tutoring
and
schoolwork
support,
cook-alongs,
music sessions and online 'hang-outs'.
Film Project with 8+0Iledia
Before lockdown,
SatH had been planning
a film project (funded
by the
Borough ofCulture)
with 880for our young people to direct and create
their own film, but due to lockdown,
we transitioned
it to a zoom session
to allow for the project to go ahead. The young people filmed their
ex erience and what SatH are doin
durin
the lockdown. The

SatH remained
a
consistent service in the local landscape
thus solidifying
our connection
to our community

and programmes.
