This was extended to a second

from June 2022 for an
identified in the accounts. additional
4 hours. These craft and art
activities helped
Members focus and
manage
anxiety and stress better and also
upskilled
them
in learning
new techniques.
In
June 2022 we engaged a self-employed
sessional
worker to facilitate the craft
sessions.
Members
learned
how to crochet useful
items and also techniques
which supported
their confidence
in making
useful objects or
repairing
existing items, saving
money,
improving
life-skills and supporting
those on
a limited budget. Members
began to attend
Craft Fayres together and alone, displaying
and selling their creative items.
Sessions also included
group discussions
around topics of interest or concern, 1-2-1
coaching for individuals
wishing
to explore
specific personal
issues confidentially
and
psycho-education
around
mental
health to
support
growth,
understanding
and
confidence
in the possibility
of positive
change.
Members

work were also provided

was given to apply for state benefits to
maximise

We supported
one ofour Members, a keen
photographer
to hold an exhibition
oftheir
work through

on 23"April 2022 at
The Forum
in Norwich. Some other
Members also attended
and engaged
with
visitors to the exhibition.

about our
work. This was a positive opportunity
for
them
all in growing
confidence
and working
as a team towards a common
project goal.
We held four Craft Fayres showcasing
our
Members'
craft items
in July 2022;
September 2022 with a Green Theme;
November
2022 exhibiting
and selling items
for the Christmas
season and
in February
2023, again with a Green Theme. Some of
our Members
helped at the stalls and spoke
to visitors about their work, supporting
their
confidence and social skills as well as
modelling
team work towards a common
objective.
We piloted a Community
Cafe at St
Matthew's
Church from 12/10/22 to
21/12/22. Some ofour Members
regularly
attended
and one was inspired to study and
gain a certificate
in Food Hygiene Safety
who is now working
part-time.
Local residents
also attended
the Cafe and
we aspired to create an encouraging,
warm,
welcoming
space and a drop in facility for
social connection
and support
for our
Members
and local community
members.
The church incumbent
advertised
the church
as a 'Recovery
Friendly'
Church
and invited
us to rent a space there and become co-
workers
in creating a community
space. In
practice the physical space was not suitable
as too cold. We were not able to achieve the
outcomes we aspired to achieve which
required
more active participation
from all
stakeholders
in welcoming
members
ofthe
community
actively
into the building
and
engaging
with them.
We moved to Pilling Park Community
Centre, meeting
from 3/4/23 and have
developed
the Hub at this venue from that
date with an average of9 Members
attending
each weekly session.
