Centre and Project Managers Annual Report:

1[st] January -31[st] December 2021

Bev Price

The community centre’s mission statement is “creating a centre of excellence for the development of community services”. The community centre has achieved its objectives and demonstrated public benefit enshrined in its new constitution and mission statement, and this is with thanks to the support of our funders, our community and our volunteers and staff team. This is our first full year as a CIO and the extension of the areas we serve and the services and support we provide our community, which were more limited in the previous registered charity constitution, has increased public benefit.

Our ethos, aims, objectives and values remain the same, and we continue to work to tackle injustice, discrimination, and inequality, to improve the physical, emotional / mental, financial, cultural and social wellbeing of our community, improve life chances, promote inclusion, diversity and equality and connect people and communities to create a happier and safer place to live.

Through the delivery of our projects and services, nearly 9000 people have improved wellbeing through the variety of support and services delivered, including early intervention, crisis support, education, mentoring, befriending, training, work experience, volunteering opportunities or through advocacy or other services and projects at the centre.

During the first part of the year, during lockdown the centre building was primarily used as an NHS clinic, with patients able to attend health appointments daily in the main hall, as well as counselling and support services running upstairs. One to one support was provided for just under 9000 vulnerable people, either face to face, by telephone, or other means. New staff were employed, with

a new role of community centre care also created, to respond to the needs of the community. We adapted to the ongoing challenges of the COVID pandemic and lockdowns, by initially supporting 40 people, rising to 150 people a week in specific one to one outdoor activities, including parents struggling with isolation and severe mental ill health, by arranging walking and cycling activities, arts and craft making outdoors, gardening and decorating indoors and outside, to improve people’s confidence and wellbeing before joining group activities once restrictions were lifted. Children, youth groups and toddler group, families and adult groups have joined in growing food, creating food dishes and many new groups for children and adults have engaged more people this year. There was a wide range of support including advocacy, crisis support, help with accessing benefits, help into accommodation, help into employment, setting up businesses as well as a new range of groups and services.

Community members and residents, helped dig up the grounds, create a patio area, trellis seating and fenced area, with lighting, water features and sensory plants, fruit and vegetable garden, decorated and colourful decorations, mobiles and both children’s and adults contributions. This project has reduced social isolation, prevented self harm, suicide, addiction relapse, and supported the wellbeing of people with mental health difficulties, people at risk of reoffending, those who were homeless, those vulnerable due to disabilities, and it has been a multi-generational activity. The outdoor areas have been improved with wind spinners, solar lighting, painting and decorated fences, hanging planters, floor planters, addition of greenhouses, decorating pebbles and plant pots, and people from 9 months of age and upwards have enjoyed improving the spaces that matter to them, and the ongoing planting of fruit trees, vegetables, scented plants and herbs have been key to “lifting the spirits” of people using the centre and passing by. The outside lower walls and doors of the centre have been painted, as well as the bathrooms and downstairs corridors.

The community centre has been improved, with the old meeting room being decorated, refurbished and turned into the “Oasis Room”, a sensory and relaxation room – with sensory lighting, aromatherapy diffusers, white noise machine, sensory lamps, swinging chairs, plants, tactile items and soft blankets and cushions, plants, water fountains. In January we were taking 15 crisis calls a day from keyworkers alone, feeling suicidal and this room was made available to key workers, as well as support groups, counselling services and people who were struggling and the feedback was very positive. The computer room has been adapted and doubles up as a learning and development room to support the professional development of staff and volunteers, and staff and volunteers can access the Oasis Room for breaks, which has not been possible before.

The kitchen and café have been decorated, a new range cooker, fridge, freezer and dishwasher installed, a new larder fitted in the kitchen for the new cooking groups and café sessions, and an extra freezer has been installed in the outdoors community room as part of the new community larder project. The Community Larder Scheme which started in May this year, has been a phenomenal success and brought in hundreds of new people, both sharing food to reduce food waste, as well as donating food they don’t need, and the project is supported by café chaos, gleaning project, supermarkets and local businesses. Some of the participants also go to supermarkets to collect surplus food for the larder. In the

first few months alone, 724 new families and people benefitted from the scheme, with more residents benefitting as people who also take eggs, vegetables and so on, to put on their garden walls for others in their areas to take. The feedback – often from people in floods of tears, has been that people love the larder, as there is no stigma, they do not feel in receipt of charity, and do not have to have a voucher to use it. The larder also supplies the weekly cooking and sharing meals sessions, and one volunteers cooks meals from the produce to distribute to those in need. Workshops have taken place on reducing food waste, learning about food, preparing meals and the new monthly Earth Café sessions have also been a success with people learning more about plant based food and saving the environment.

The outdoor shed was cleared out, decorated by the community, and turned into a community launderette, due to so many older and isolated, shielding or homeless people in crisis, and unable to access or use launderettes during COVID. This has been a huge success and people benefitted from being able to enjoy creating the launderette together, as well as having dignity through being able to have clean clothing.

Sadly VIBES “help your community” shop and community hub in Camborne had its glass door and front and shutters smashed on the 8[th] February and it was many months before the glass was replaced, meaning the shop had to be closed for most of the year.

Trustees, Staff and Volunteers: Paul Roskrow acting Chair retired in June, and Rev Rosheen Browning took over the Chair Person Role in June, Bev Futtitt became Deputy Chair, Zoe became Secretary, Edward continued as Treasurer and future new Trustee Roles were created after a skills audit and with the changing needs of the community and centre, with the recruitment process starting at the end of the year. Claire joined us as community centre carer in January, securing a full time community worker position in May until August. Kieran also joined us as a sessional community worker, in addition to his counselling role, and Betty joined us as community worker in September. We have a talented team of staff and volunteers and a Board of Trustees with either lived experience, professional backgrounds, and experience of the community centre. The whole community team, Board, Staff and volunteers are diverse and representative.

Themes within the crisis work and group work this year:

COVID has impacted again this year, with some groups having lost key volunteers and members. Increasing numbers of safeguarding issues being reported to us, including suspected slavery as well as the provision at some homes across Cornwall, with relevant referrals being made. The housing crisis and care crisis in Cornwall, not helped by COVID, has had significant impact and some services not having the capacity has increased the numbers of vulnerable people needing support, not least the impact of a homeless service not being open to street homeless individuals. We have supported all individuals asking for support, and with positive outcomes. There has been an increase this year in:

Those in Mental health crisis and suicidal – noticeably also in the numbers of professionals and key workers also accessing mental health first aid, crisis support and counselling
People with a Disability reporting increased social isolation, the barrier of not being able to access online services from other services – the centre has increased the support provided to enable people to access health appointments and access other support they are entitled to, as well as attending activities, drop ns and support services at the centre.
Families struggling with babies and children with either disabilities, living in temporary accommodation or other hardship, parents with babies and toddlers not having appointments with health visitors since birth of child, due to COVID and again, the activities, groups and support the centre has provided has increased in correlation with evidenced need and demand
Increased numbers of homeless people approaching us for support, with this reaching a peak in September. The centre successfully supported people into accommodation and employment and / or volunteering and the engagement of our community’s support for this enabled us to provide smart clothing and so forth for job interviews.
Increased numbers of people experiencing domestic abuse and / or sexual abuse and service provision doubled to accommodation increased need.
Secondary COVID impact - many of our volunteers and clients were unable to get their usual health appointments last year during COVID and lockdowns, with the impact experienced by many now including advanced cancer, heart failure and sadly some of our long standing and older volunteers have passed away.
Increased addictions reported, and additional support provided.
People neurodiverse / autistic in particular receiving support around health appointments, poor employment experiences and the autism advocacy and support group has continued past the end of the funding due to evidenced need.

Plans for the year ahead:

New business plan and sustainability plan
Recruitment of staff

Recruitment of new trustees to take on specific and key roles
S106 funded work to continue – addition of toilet, hand basin and baby changing unit in the church; addition of new rooms at the top of the community centre hall, new flooring, painting and decorating.
Securing funding for the next three-year phase of the centre’s development
Extension of the outreach programme.

Summary

At the start of the COVID pandemic, one of our longest standing groups wrote on the chalkboard “see you on the other side”. Sadly, for many, this was not the case. With heart-breaking endings, also come new beginnings and our sincere and genuine thanks to the volunteers, trustees, funders and staff and our community, for the continued support we have received and been able to provide. Many new groups and services are running successfully, and hundreds of new people coming to the new projects.

Our community has grown stronger, come together to help us help those most vulnerable. This has included donations of microwave ovens, toasters and slow cookers for those temporary accommodation hotel rooms, with no cooking facilities, it has helped people street homeless to have a place of sanctuary, food, and smart clothing to attend interviews and secure jobs and accommodation. Volunteers and community members have enabled the centre to provide recreational activities, health and well being groups, deliver new drop ins and support service and provide a hub for our local community.

We are thankful for all the support we have received to improve the community centre, for new staff and volunteers, and to continue to deliver responsive, community led and innovative services. Whilst these have been challenging times, we look forward to the year ahead.
