Chair’s Report

This last year has been difficult for everyone in so many ways, but I am pleased to report that Neetside has remained open to provide office space for health and community related activities since July 2020.

This provision has only been possible through the hard work and commitment of all our staff who ensured protocols were in place to make the space as safe as possible and compliant with government guidelines. Neetside’s main income is through hire, which has been severely reduced by Covid-19. To support many of the organisations and groups who work in our community whilst securing our financial stability throughout this financial year, Neetside has utilised its own reserves alongside the furlough grant scheme and business support scheme and we are grateful to have been able to do so.

Throughout this period, Trustees have met monthly, moving meetings online to zoom, and reviewing all our policies to make sure they were covid compliant. In December, Trustees partnered with Bude Coastal Community Team and Churches Together to establish Bude Social Action fund, raising over £9,000. Through an application process this was distributed to local groups and organisations who were supporting Bude citizens to cope with issues arising from lockdown and Coronavirus. In addition, the lottery funded youth feasibility study has been

completed, despite Covid restrictions, and will be launched in autumn 2021.

On behalf of all Trustees may I thank all concerned in managing to secure a future for Neetside as a haven for local groups and as a voice for the local community, despite all the problems of this last financial period.

I look forward to a productive 2022.

Hilary Workman.

Bude-Stratton Social Action Fund.

lip reading sessions and providing counselling for 11 – 18-year-olds.

The Bude-Stratton Social Action Fund was established in December 2020, by Bude Coastal Community Team (BCCT), Bude-Stratton Community Project (BSCP), Christians Together in Bude & Stratton (CTBS) and Bude-Stratton Town Council (BSTC), with the aim of distributing money to community groups and charities addressing the impacts of the Coronavirus in the wider Bude area.

The partnership hopes that the success of this first ever Bude-Stratton Social Action Fund will inspire a further round of fundraising and fund giving.

A Crowdfunder campaign raised £5,780 for the Fund, with an additional £1,500 being pledged by local Cornwall Councillors. The fund was also supported by Bude-Stratton Town Council, Marhamchurch Parish Council and Cavanna homes.

Over the period of 2 months £9080 was raised. Through an application process 13 community groups benefited including: Marhamchurch Preschool, Marhamchurch Methodist Church, Christians Together in Bude and Stratton with Transforming “ Lives for Good, Bude Food Bank, The Haven, Bude Methodist Church, Stratton Primary School, The Pearl Exchange, Beach Pastors, Bude Primary Academy, Cornwall Lipreaders Et Al, 2nd Bude Scouts and Bude Area Toy Library.

Clare Hicks, Trustee, Neetside Community Centre said: “We are tremendously grateful to all who so generously donated towards the Social Action Fund. We look forward to seeing the real beneficial impacts this funding will have on our local groups, and, having proved so successful, we hope that the Social Action Fund can be continued into the future”.

The funding supported a variety of projects across a range of age groups and communities. From creative home-schooling packs for primary aged children to mental health support for families, building a sand pit and mud kitchen for pre-schoolers to supporting

Bude Voices: Feasibility Study The Young People of Bude

In 2019 Neetside Community Centre was awarded £8300 from the National Lottery Community Fund, to look at the current opportunities, activities and provision in the Bude area for young people. The outcome is a feasibility study produced in consultation with young people that highlights the wonderful groups and activities already provided whilst evidencing any areas that are lacking.

The idea was first sparked by two members of BLEND youth group who at a community event ‘Shaping My Community’, expressed their concerns for the lack of opportunities, places for young people to go and their desire to help improve the lives of young people within the local community.

A steering group including representation from Neetside Community Centre, Blend and The Pearl Exchange commissioned Wave Collective, Lydia Mills and Mandy Youell, to write the report. Fliss Loxley worked as the creative practitioner, working directly with young people and encouraging them to have their say as part of the study. Finalised in September 2021, the report is available from Neetside Community Centre on request.
