The Caribbean Collective 


## **CHAIRPERSON'S REPORT** 

Our organisation has entered a new era and is adapting to meet the demands of rapidly changing times. Many of our founder members and dedicated servants are no longer with us, not least our Honorary President, Eric Hudson.  Let us continue to make them proud. 

We have had another challenging yet productive year as you will see from ‘The Review of The Year’ report. Although resources are still stretched to the limit, we are on a better financial footing than we have been for many years. We have had an organisational name change from ‘Leicester Jamaica Community Service Group’ To ‘The Caribbean Collective’, which is the topic of the presentation and discussion this evening. 



Change and adaptability have been key characteristics of recent times. In order to meet the diverse and changing needs of our over 50s and to continue to receive referrals from the Local Authority, we have committed to providing services in new and flexible ways. The further development of partnership work with other groups and organisations will be key to our future survival and progress in the current climate. 

One thing that has not changed is my belief that as an organisation we have the solid foundations we need to meet the demands of the changing times and to overcome the obstacles we will inevitably encounter going forward. I would like to take this opportunity to thank those that have laboured tirelessly and sacrificed much to continue the work of our founder members and past community servants that we remember tonight. 

Firstly I’d like to thank our staff team and the volunteers that support them for their hard work and commitment year to year. Our staff and volunteers have a very special and unique relationship with the people that use our services. This is a key part of why we stand out as the only service of its kind in the city. 

A very big thanks to the board of trustees. The trustees in this organisation do not just oversee the work of the organisation in its strategic and administrative functions, they are hands on roll up your sleeves and get involved trustees, out of necessity. Yet again you have delivered at all levels, and I thank you. 

In conclusion, the relatively small group of dedicated staff, volunteers and trustees credited here have worked tirelessly and collectively to ensure that ‘Caribbean Court Day Centre’ (and related services) and ‘Caribbean Court Kitchen’ can survive and have a future in challenging and ever-changing times. How much more could be achieved if we spread the net and enlist the full support of a wider ‘Caribbean Collective’? 

## **TRIBUTE TO MR ERIC HUDSON** 



Mr. Eric Hudson was one of the founder members of Leicester Jamaica Community Service Group, now renamed The Caribbean Collective.  He led the organisation from its registration as a charity in 1974 until he stepped down  in 2017  - a period of 43 years of commitment and achievement. 

During that period  the organisation initiated, developed and managed activities in the areas of culture, education, health and social services. These activities were all aimed at meeting the needs of the various African and Caribbean heritage communities in Leicester. Mr. Hudson also played a key role in campaigning to get the idea of culturally appropriate services on the agenda of the local council.  He remained especially proud of the Leicester Caribbean Credit Union and the Caribbean Court Day Centre. 

On a lighter note, Mr. Hudson loved to cook and for many years he prepared food for the annual Senior Citizens Christmas Party, for the Jamaican Independence Dance and for various meetings. 

We lost this great pioneer on 30 August 2022. 



## **REVIEW OF THE YEAR** 

This has been a year of renewal and regeneration for our organisation following the challenges we overcame during the Covid pandemic. 

In May this year, the Community Relations Officer for the Jamaica High Commission visited Leicester for the inauguration of the first Lord Mayor of African origin. Whilst in the city, she made a point of meeting with the Chair, visiting the centre and meeting people using the service. Close links with The Jamaica High Commission and developing links with other Caribbean Island contacts will continue. 

The Day Centre is beginning to thrive with the number of people using it seeing a gradual increase from an average of 10 per day to 15 per day. Transporting people to the Day Centre remains a challenge as our minibus is aging, impacting on its reliability and maintenance costs. The number of people requiring meal delivery services has fluctuated between 5 and 14 daily over the year and continues to play an important role in the lives of many people. 

Our regular Wednesday afternoon online sessions, ‘Caribbean Catchup’ is made up of bingo, quizzes, music and chat. It began in January 2021 and is enjoyed by a group of regular attendees with scope for many more people to join. 

All these services have benefited greatly from the time and commitment of our volunteers. From washing up in the kitchen, delivering meals, supporting activities in the Day Centre to completing a range of administration tasks and delivering fundraising events, we have relied heavily on this relatively small group of people to help our dedicated staff team to keep the Centre running. There is scope for additional volunteer help. 

Volunteers working through partner organisations  have helped us to improve the external environment of the Day Centre. We have worked with young volunteers from National Citizens Service (NCS) who provided their physical effort and financial donations to develop our garden areas in July 2021 and summer 2022. The same type of support was provided by Friends of the Earth in October last year and it is expected that these partnerships will continue. 




All these operational aspects were underpinned by a restructuring of our financial and organisational base. Following the formal name change of the Day Centre from the ‘West Indian Senior Citizens Project’ to ‘Caribbean Court Day Centre’, we acted on the decision reached at our last AGM to successfully complete the formal transition from being the ‘Leicester Jamaica Community Service Group’ to our new identity as ‘The Caribbean Collective’. We are soon to have a new website which will highlight this change and it will also serve to promote the new projects that we are to deliver. 

These new projects are building on some of the previous work we have completed. In May last year, we received a funding grant of £3,274.90 from the Church Urban Fund to deliver a Digital Connect Project. This work was focussed on helping people to use tablet computers to reduce isolation. In August this year we received £5,000 from The Leicester, Leicestershire and Rutland Living Well with Dementia Grant and we are currently broadening the scope of our dementia group work services to allow external participants. 

A group of our trustees also raised funds by having table-top sales events throughout the summer of 2022. With the great food and music, they also proved to be great opportunities for social interaction. 

Our latest successful funding application of £107,000 was received from the National Lottery Community Fund for our ‘Rising Together Project’. This three-year project is made up of several different aspects including a digital literacy, Community Wellbeing, Steel Pan sessions and a gardening project. More details of this project will be published in the near future.
