Where possible they complete **WEMWBS (Warwick and Edinburgh Wellbeing Scale)** outcome measure data throughout the 12-week group and Peer Group and use qualitative feedback from the online group. The **CORE (Clinical Outcomes in Routine** **Evaluation** ) form, which looks at the areas of wellbeing, problem solving, functioning and risk, is used at the assessment stage to help clarify the areas that are more difficult and those which might be slightly easier. The service has found over time is that the WEMWBS data are easier to analyse and gives clearer information on the changes. **Managed Peer Support Group WEMWBS Data:** Peer Group supports those who would benefit from a longer-term intervention after the 12-week group. The data **TAR** March **2022** 6 show smaller changes in wellbeing compared with those in the 12-week group. Scores indicate a tendency to plateau, due to reasons such as: - Long term physical health conditions - Being a parent carer of SEND children - Long term mental health diagnoses that means there will be fluctuations The Art Well recognised that an approach of **'maintaining mental health and** **wellbeing'** for some participants, was as important at this stage of the pandemic as their founding approach of 'improving mental health and wellbeing'. The Art Well has grown and **developed new ways of working** and is continuing to support **many more people** than it as before the start of Covid-19. **TAR** March **2022** 7 Project 229 has continued to manage the **SPACE Project** , to support **young people aged 9-16 (school year 5 and up) in Bedford Borough who have been impacted by Domestic Abuse** . www.project229.org/space In 21/22, SPACE’s main funder was **The Harpur Trust** . Before the COVID-19 pandemic started, the SPACE team had been **considering the benefits of developing smallgroup activities** . The pandemic provided an **opportunity to pilot** SPACE Bubbles which proved to be effective in developing peer support and positive relationships with staff. This model has been retained in 21/22 **Planets:** Planets are mini youth clubs that run fortnightly during term time, the members of each planet make decisions collaboratively about what they will do during their sessions. - Support up to **10 young people per session** . - During the year **six individual planets** have operated - In total, **53 young people** have engaged in a Planet. - **85 sessions** have been run. **Therapeutic Groups:** In partnership with various organisations and funders, SPACE piloted two therapeutic interventions; Therapeutic dance (in partnership with **Mark West Fund** ) & Group Play Therapy (in partnership with **ECP/One YMCA** ) These groups: - ran for **between 6 and 10 weeks** - supported **12 young people** . **One to One Support** : Individual support offered to young people and provided by the trainee counsellor and SPACE Youth Worker. - **78 hours of one-to-one work** have been provided to young people who require additional support. - **6 young people** have been provided with individual support - An average of 19 sessions provided to an individual young person ## **Holiday Provision:** - **9 holiday sessions** during the year - • Benefitted **42 young people** - Activities requested by the young people; laser world, roller skating, canoe trails plus the summer festival.

The project worked with **Transition Coaching** to deliver the sessions. **Free equipment** was delivered to participants to aid accessibility. Self-referrals as well as professional referrals were encouraged. **The health and wellbeing needs of the participants were varied and complex.** Sessions were adapted for participants as necessary. Some ‘ **Relax, Release, Restore’** sessions were offered for participants. |ActivityType|Sessions|Attendances| |---|---|---| |FIT TOGETHER and RELAX RELEASE RESTORE|16|56| Project 229 continued to participate in the **Bedford Borough Working Group** aiming to tackle **food and fuel poverty** in the area.

Project 229 continues to offer a **bursary scheme** encouraging groups to provide free of charge places for individuals who would otherwise struggle to access their services. This is on a **professional referral** basis only via Project 229. Project 229 **works with a network of partners to improve referral pathways** and understands that many people who require support have multiple and complex needs. When organisations and projects are willing to work together people are more likely to gain improved support and access to services. Project 229 started working with services to **develop online referral forms** for groups that could be used for self / professional referrals including: - Well Woman Workshop: https://www.project229.org/wellwoman Project 229 continues to produce **newsletters, advertising, social media content and press releases** to promote the services and activities run at / supported by the centre. www.project229.org/whatsonnow ## **Additional details of objectives and activities (Optional information)** You **may choose** to include further statements, where relevant, about: - policy on grantmaking; - policy programme related investment; - contribution made by volunteers. Many of the **activities and services at Project 229 would not be able to run without the dedicated support of volunteers** from the community. Volunteers support Project 229 to manage the administrative work associated with running the project including general admin, invoicing, and other finance support. - During this stage of the pandemic, some of the project volunteers have **continued working remotely** to support Project 229’s admin function. This includes **finance support and invoice creation** . We are also thankful for the support of volunteers who help specific services. One volunteer has the role of taking **SPACE families through the induction process** once referrals come in. Other volunteers help the function of **The Art Well** and many of our other support services. - We want to also thank **supporters from some of our donor / fundraising groups** who not only raise funds but provide **practical support** at our community centre, including sweeping up the leaves outside and keeping on top of our seasonal planting! - Without the **contribution by our donor** (who wishes to remain anonymous) of the use of his **land and outdoor swimming facilities** , we would not have been able to continue to provide the **Summer Activities** that the young people from **SPACE** enjoyed so much. **TAR** March **2022** 11 Project 229 is also indebted to **groups, organisations and individuals** who have raised funds to support the work of the project throughout 2021 and 2022. Project 229 has continued **developing the website** to include information about other services and activity programmes including pages for the services offering **more intensive support** . www.project229.org (see various menus) ## Section D Achievements and performance |**Summary of the**

**achievements of**
**the charity**
**during the year**|**Statement from The Trustees: Lionel Stewart MBE (Chair)**
_Very much like last year, I am absolutely astounded at the way that as an organisation_
_we have faced (head on) all the problems that the aftermath of Covid has hit us with._
_Project 229 continues to support the many residents of Kempston that otherwise would_
_have to travel to find the kind of support that we offer._
_We are grateful to have received financial help to help us through the Covid period and_
_although things are beginning to get back to some kind of normality, I think the_
_experience has made us stronger and more aware of the needs of others._
_I am grateful to our team of trustees who all find time in their otherwise busy lives to_
_support not just myself and Beccy (Project Manager) but also the many groups that use_
_the building._
_The selfless dedication of our staff volunteers and partner organisations is our biggest_
_asset - all of whom are moulded into an excellent team by Beccy. For that I am_
_eternally grateful._
_Having ridden the storm of Covid reasonably well, we are now faced with the financial_
_challenge of increased cost of services, something which we are mindful of and need to_
_keep a close eye on._
_For the future, we will I am sure see more groups needing our support and advice._
_Project 229 to me is a flagship of community service for the people of Kempston and_
_long may it stay so._| |---|---| ||| |**Section E**|**Financial review**| |**Brief statement**
