SOCIABLES Hub & C.R.E.W.S. is a Registered Charity ICIOI forn)ed and introduced by a group of

2025 is our 10 year Sin￿ inception and so we plan to celebrate with a Birthday Event for
Members ar>d invited digniLiries at a local venue, Paisley at 106. The event will be on 6 June and will
incorporate our AGM and indude food and live music as well 35 slide shows about our past
achievements and a showing of our perfom)ance of Beauty and the Be35t. ft is felt this will be a good
opportunityto showcase our achievements and raise our profile in the widercommunity. Equally this
is a year for in depth revi£w of our services to ensure we ￿Main relevant. We have been evaluating
the need for change to en5￿￿ we are organisationally ready to take on new challenge5 and to meet
the needs of new referrals and future new serwce elements. Not unlike many other srnall
organisations, we find ourselves arrticipating shortfalls due to the cost-of4iwn8 crisis which has meant
hiBher servTce running costs which we cannot pass on to SeThice Users due to their shrinking budgets
and hardship. Additionally. government Changes to Employers Nl will add a signrficant burden on the
cost of employing staff. so we have recognised the need forchange in our5tructurè in orderto survive
and make efficiency sawngs at least in the short-tem) period of adjustmenL
Our need for savings has conflicted with the need to make urgent updates to our centre to include a
warm roof on part of our premises, where the polyi>rbonate roof which made the area too hot to use
irb summer and too cold in winter, had developed several leaks and beyond economi(31 repair. The
decision wa5 taken to upgrade the roof and refft teneath it. to bring the building into full all year-
round use. Whi15t perh3PS not prudent, we have needed to dip into our reserves by approximately

f8(MX) this year to take advantage of a timety offer of Volunteered labour from PML Construction for
the upgradetotake pla￿ duringour Christma5 2024 dosure so Thi intemiption to Se￿ices. Upgrading
the buildin& which is owned by the thartty, allows us to increase capactty of service usersto meetthe
needs of our waiting list and so is considered a good investment for future. Fundraising will be
increased in the comingyearin ordertobetter plan fOrf￿vre developments3ndto replenish reserves.
Although year on year we have continued to make good growth, further progress will require
additional fundin& dedi¢ate(I management tlme. changes in staff ￿sponSibl11t1es and upskilling the
staff team in some areas. Our funding strategy will indude a mix of both income and increased
fundraising-based projection5 to help in taking next steps without sustainability be4ng undermined.
Overall, this year has been another successful one. with plenty to be proud about including an influx
of new service users and therefore an increase in the number of sessions delivered and numerous
individual achievements for fflany of our Service Users, including those with more complex needs.
Always we work to review our 5erwces and to make thange5 and new introductions where necessary,
to meet the needs of our SeN1￿ users.
Organisation Structure.. Our new strucbjre implemented two years ago sees a trio of senior staff
covering all aspects of operntional needs and by and large this works well with a few tweaks needed
in the coming year and beyond. Working closely wrth the CEO, the model in place is Richard
Crompton, our Projects Ctrordinator. completing his second year in hi5 expanded role with great
competence an(J dedication. The popular appointment of Richard in his new role, marks a significant
milestone in our progression planning for the future of SooABiEs Hub. Richard has responsibility for
daily operations and programrne planning and bookinES, as well as team support and service Ltser
liaison.
Alongside Richard. Mithelle Weaver who also has been with us Sin￿ inception has special skills and
understanding in complex needs, also had her role expanded wthin the past year and $0 as Projects
Quality Officer will continue to concentrats on Individual Support Plans, Indiwdual Risk Assessments
as well as programming our therapeutic Arts and Crafts Programmes. Michelle works Closely with
the CEO on Policy and regulation5 and ￿11 3150 a5SiSt Staff with Behavioural Management in some of
our Service Users and is also our Designated Safeguarding Officer.
Stan Jones who currentty has re5ponsibilty for Marketin& Social Media and Digital Workshops and
whom has brought 3 new dimension to our Offeri￿ Digital literacy among our users has been on
the rise, thanks to the dedicated workshops instrurted by Stan lincluding a Spring Photo
Competition with Prize-winnersl and Jn informative wsit from the local police to name but a few.
Stan has a masterfs degreein businessand hasstsrtedto use hi5 skills baseto aid Sociable5fundrai5ing
plans. it is anticipated therefore. that Stan s role will be expanded to include this responslbllity as our
Projects Development Worker. This change will be reVIev￿ throughout the year and the need for
more Development Work, particularly in seeking opportunities for our service users in the community
e.g. with pop up shops to sell their handmade wares or in SUPTM)rted work placement opportunities.
which will require dedicated staff and managementtime and furtherfunding to meet the costs of this
expanding andlor new pO￿tIOn and activity costs attached.
Services take up have increased by I(￿￿ over the past four years and we look forward to responding
to the exciting new opportunities ahead of us. as well as looking to consolidate our learning and
ensuring projects in the pipeline are realised effectivety. We have built a strong reputation for making
a difference and are well respected by those making referrals to our se￿1￿5. We are preser¢tly the
only Day Service prowder in the area admitting Service Users wf(h complex need5 including l-l
medical need partfunded through the CHC and mobilty Èssues.

Additional Capttal developments arè also needed for the coming year both in terms of renovation of
our premises and expandingjrepurposing some areas to meet our LTowing needs. Bewdley Rotary
Corps group have Come onboard as communtty partners and hope to access distrirt funding to asslst
towards project. however this is a lengthy process and wll require further grants from other grant
making trusts to achieve in full.
Management time continues to be monttored. Thi5 year has still seen a need for a 'hands on
approach from all dues to repeated staff absences which have placed strain on management roles.
'Office time ￿m2•n$ rn short 5uppty. A large proporrion of all hours spent working 3re still provided
voluntary by the CEO. Policy and Procedures reviews aretsking place with Trustees and management
working on a full policies suite fft for purpose going for¥vard and incorpordting all new legislation. A5
in previou5 years, there is a continued sense within the Staff and Volunteer team of true progress
again this year. We have a very dedicated, passionate team and our sense of family. ethos and the
services we provide for our Servi￿ users. refiects this.
Achlevements this year have inc14thd:
Growing respect and good reputation for Indusive Services for people wtth Disabilities.
Continuing to be registered as preferred providers on local authorrty Dynamic Purchasing
Scheme IDPSI for Posttive Day Opportuntties. has led to new referrals and an increase to our
purchase orderlcontratts paid on portal with the Local Authority, by approx. 70% in 4 years.
We have welcomed a nurrrber of interested parties and new starters, as well as many existing
seNice users choosing to increase their number of participation days in our service.
We have seen successful grants from local initiatives such as the Rotsry Club. Kate Wellings
Trust and Bewdley in Kind, which helped towards the new roof on our Stowaway5 building.
Community grants achieve(l from Monday Night Group and Bewdley Town Council have been
helpful in developing ourgarden and in expanding on the digital workshops for service users.
Digital literary among our users has continued to increase wtth workshop5 being a big part of
our successful in-house programme of attivities enjoyed on so many levels.
There has been a need forthangesto the stsffingstructure. howeverstaff retentlon continues
to be a SUC￿SS on our Team, WTth most of our staff now being in place since inception. This
continuity is of benefrt to our service users, particularfy those who have Autistic Spectrum
Disorders and find change difficult. Changes needed to meet growing need will continue to
be assessed over the year and any new introdurtions will be made sensitively and over time
so with limited disruption and is of maximum benefit to our servtces.
Our Service Users Shop is well stocked with general rtems for everyday use but also include
gift packs and handmade craft ttems. made wrth the ueattvity of our service users. during
Enterprise Workshops. Semce Users make purchases of ttems usingthe vouchers" they eam
Iso our given freetyl and some ttems are offered for sale to the public at craft fairs and open
days etc. We are grateful for donated items to our and those from In-Kind direct, which
provide added element of life skills learning built into this scheme and work-based skills in
terms of learning about Retsil and Marketin& which means the donated products have triple
the value! The products also help combat personal hygiene poverty which ha5 become 8
notable problem over re￿nt years.
We feel our Enterprise Project, run by Sernce Users wtth packs previously sold on Bewdley
Market and at Craft Fair5. is still underdeveloped and funding is required to help bring it more
fully to fruition for the benefrt of meanirwtul work experien￿ for our Serwce Users. We
continue to look for an outlet for our Retsil Items. The Enterprise Project has however, stlll

been sutcessful and has given Service Users a great Sen￿ of worth. Again, addttional
dedicated funding for development staff time and associated costs will be sought to improve
this OLrtcome for our Service User5.
Continuation of our own SociABLEs Youtube Channel with regular videos being created by
Service Users and managed by Service Users continues to be a 8￿8t success. Our online
Follower5hip (total new subscriber5 from Facebook, YouTube. and Instagraml has expanded
by over 100 individuals- and we have a new, modern. updated website.
Our Comprehensive Activfcies Programme has delivered a vast array of 5oaal Opportunities
to suit every interest. Acttvtties take pla￿ mainty out and about within the mainstream
community and range fn)m gentle indoor actiwties to outdoor adventures. There have been
numerous success storÉe5. personal to individuals attending our Servjces.
We have
Suc￿sSfullY diversffied our Friday schedule (previously aimed only at Specialised
Independence Userslto indude and ac￿mmodate for3 mixed abÈlttygroups. Fridays are now
oversubscribed along wtth other days. with waiting lists on all days except for Mondays.
We added a new vehicle to our fleet last year. which is specificalty desigr)ed to
accommodate a wheelchair, improving our in-house transport (apabillties. This vehide has
been in full use and Ideally, we need an additional WAV to accommodate the increase in
Service Users with mobility issues.
Again. just as in 2023- 2024, our Festival style Outdoor AGM with street food served from
the Noshery and live entertainment was a great event this year and enjoyed by all, with over
100 attending. Other ever￿ have been several themed Aftemoon Teas, Christmas Dinner
for 48 and Fairs & Markets at our Centre. The'Noshery" comes into its own particularly at
times of SociABLEs events. Having purchased this catering trailer. we are working on
developments to extend its use, pèrticularty in providing work experience for our Service
Users interesting in Catering and Hospttalty and Marketing. We may have open days for
neighbouring units and fishem)en using neighbouring fishing pools, to a¢ces5 home cooked
goodie5 for their lunch. We will of course register the Noshery with the local environmental
health, should this be decided upon as a development.
We thank our dedicated volunteer base forthe hours and hours of volunteer Craftsmen time enabling
us to continue to renovate our buildings also thank you to local busine55es that have discounted
or even Sponsored items for our Longbank Centre.

Reserves Poli
It Is the Trustee's aim to maintain reserves equal to at least 3 months running costs to ensure ongoing
viability and to safeguard the organisation against unforeseen circumstances. We are still working
towards meeting this reser¥es wlicy, hindered to some extent by the covid years and105ses not met
by Bl Insuran￿ and by Ios5 of development time during that time. We had moved forward towards
this policy, with managing a small cash generation in each of the years, however the need to invest in
our future with a new roof on Stowaway5 this year has seen us dip into reserves and leaving a small
deficit which wewill aim tocorrect overthe coming year. Planned changes to one staff role to increase
hours torfundraising activty. aims to a55iSt in further improving financial stability.
