Report of the Board of Directors
for the period ended 31 March 2023
Activities
Step Up MCR is a place based giving charity for Manchester. We operate in the wards Ancoats &
Beswick and Clayton & Openshaw with an evolutionary purpose to unleash the unlimited potential that
exists in neighbourhoods. By bringing people together from within the community, we aim to make the
most of our combined resources, energy, and skills for the benefit of local people.
Our work looks to create more resilient communities and address local inequalities
by boosting community activity, raising aspirations and increasing health and wellbeing. We achieve
this by brokering support between community projects and those wanting to give back, and creating
spaces for people to discuss and gain support for community-led projects. In promoting local giving,
we recognise that anybody can give back to the community- whether its time, money, resources,
skills, knowledge or space.
While the last year has largely focussed on income generation and sustainability, Step Up MCR has
gone from strength to strength in growing our organisation and supporting local communities in 2022-
23. Our Board of Trustees grew by four, including a new Board Chair role, bringing in new skills and
expertise In areas like sustainabilityi business planning and strategic partnerships, as well as equlty,
dlversity and inclusion. Importantlyi two of our Board members are North Manchester residents,
drlvlng the organlsatlon forward with our communlties leading the way on both our Board and Advlsory
Panel.
We made the most of our £15,000 community grants budget, almost quadrupling our £10,000
investment into a Crowdfunder campaign to establish a community health and wellbeing hub in
Clayton. The Resonance Centre Crowdfunder raised £39,236, enabling the centre to operate a full
timetable of activities and events for over 170 local people each week, including yoga, meditation,
dance, drummingi and more,
We are now working with over 25 residents to grow and develop their community initiatives. We have
created opportunities for local people to grow their skills, knowledge and increase the capacity of
grassroots organisations. All Step Up MCR community projects have benefitted from wider support to
grow their offer, including local connections, tailored case work, access to opportunities, fundraising
support and promotion. We have worked with Flourish Together CIC, Manchester City Council, The
Connectives and other providers to offer project development through one to one intensive mentoring,
group workshops and training.
We supported a BAME-led organisation, Newleaf Foundation CIO, with a £500 start-up grant to offer
'Crafting for Wellbeing, sessions to bring the local community together and reduce social isolation
following on from the Covid- 19 pandemic. Marcelina received 12 hours of one capacity building and bid
writing support and attended group development workshops. With Step Up MCR'S support, Newleaf
Foundatlon ralsed over £25,000 In grants from local and national funders In their first year.
We have also worked to engage communities through an arts-led approach. We have published three
community newspapers and distributed to 11,300 households across Ancoats & Beswick and Clayton &
Openshaw. Our paper has a reach of over 33.000 people and is a great way to provide a platform to
community-led ideas and projects seeking local support and shout out about good examples of place
based giving.
We deliver exciting creative engagement projects that engage with people in their communities and
increase local pride. We use arts and culture as a hook to engage people in conversations and unearth
or inspire bright ideas for new community projects. This year, we commissioned a number of arts-led
projects including The Caravan Gallery's 'Pride of Place Project, in Openshaw. The yellow gallery on
wheels worked to create an exhibition of Openshaw with a lasting publication. We held engagement
events through the spring of 2022 and launched the month long exhibition at Manchester Settlement.
