Community Supporters aims to operate their various projects in partnerships with external groups and organisations where possible across their wider network. This means the charity maintains a strong network within the sector, but also maximises the potential the charity, external organisations, and project work has within the district and beyond.
Objectiv
The charity objects are:
es
To advance the education of the public in environmental protection and to provide forest school based activities in the natural environment.
To promote the conservation protection and improvement of the physical and natural environment for the public benefit, in particular but not exclusively by the promotion of practical measures and encouragement of partnerships to reduce litter and improve the general environment of the local area.
Summary of main activities undertaken in relation to the objects
Trustees’ Annual Report Period 30[th] June 2023– 29[th] June 2024
Community Supporters has two main focus areas by which all other project work is undertaken. These focus areas are:
Education – The charity provides opportunity to learn about nature, the environment, and how to be more sustainable. This is done by offering hands on workshops, beach or forest school activities, and taking workshop activities to community groups and educational settings. The charity currently has two community venues where workshops and activities are offered. The Eco Hub is where workshops focused on sustainability happen and these are aimed at all ages and abilities. The second venue is a Youth Hub which is aimed at more general learning about the environment and natural world.
The charity has also recently secured funding to be able to offer accreditation for workshops and courses to help participants grow and develop skills.
Infrastructure – The other main focus for the charity is to provide the infrastructure to enable people to access nature and the environment in some form. This includes providing space to learn or for other groups to run their own related activities, offer consultation for anyone looking to run a project or set up a group/activity, providing physical access to a natural space – such as the Bexhill Beach Garden (access ramp and vegetated shingle ‘garden’).
Achievements and performance
Summer 2023 – The summer is always a time when the charity can get out and about and meet the community and this year was no different. The team of volunteers spent time speaking to people at the beach in community groups, and at local community events. The team continued to deliver workshops such as cookery for toddlers, beach school, heritage crafts and skills.
Autumn 2023 – The autumn season saw the Eco Hub expand to allow for more space to deliver workshops and activities. This meant more people could join in activities and more frequently. The Young Pollinators project successfully raised funds to go on their first day trip, to a glass recycling and glass blowing factory. The young people got to make their own glass bauble to take home. This activity prompted them to want to do more trips and activities out and about.
This quarter also saw the charity co-host again the annual Oceans Symposium event – alongside UNA Climate & Oceans and Sussex Wildlife Trust. The event was attended by over 100 people.
Winter 2023/24 – The main focus for the Young Pollinators at the end of 2023 was to run a project to engage the community in sustainability over the festive period. A big part of this project was to develop a sculpture to be placed in the town centre and made entirely from recycled materials. The final design was a Christmas tree made from recycled metal and green plastic bottles. The tree frame can be reused each year, and the green plastic bottles were later passed onto an animal sanctuary, so nothing went to waste.
During this quarter the charity also undertook its first strategy review supported by local stakeholders. This review was well attended and showed just how much the charity has achieved over the years. The review also helped the trustees agree a three-year plan for the charity going forward.
Trustees’ Annual Report Period 30[th] June 2023– 29[th] June 2024
Community Supporters has a desire to support the wellbeing of volunteers and staff and in November the charity achieved a Bronze Award from the East Sussex Wellbeing at Work scheme highlighting the various ways the charity supports the wellbeing of not only internal personal but the wider community too.
The charity continues to grow to meet need and in this period the charity opened the second community venue, a Youth Hub dedicated to the Young Pollinators project. This offers a safe space for young people, those struggling with mental health, or access to main stream education. It also provides a space for anyone under 18 interested in green sector volunteering and employment.
Spring 2024 – During the spring period (early 2023) the charity secured funding to be able to train volunteers to be able to deliver accredited courses for both adults and young people. This will begin in September 2024.
In the spring of this reporting year the charity became registered to offer work experience to young people and welcomed it’s first student in June 2024.
Community Supporters was also successful in obtaining a grant from the British Science Association through their Community Buddies scheme. This scheme pairs community groups with academic researchers to design a project bringing STEM activities to the community. The charity is now working with a representative of the Physics Department at the University of Sussex to do just this, a project that will run until December 2024.
Spring time is when the charity undertakes its annual community survey, and this year was the fourth such survey. These annual surveys are slowly beginning to show changes to people needs and views in relation to how they see the area they live in and gives the charity a better understanding of the support needed in the area.
Funds were secured to begin installing the Beach Garden project on Bexhill beach and construction work begins in September 2024 and is estimated to take 5-6 weeks to complete.
Fundraising – over the first 12 months of operation the charity has been successful in grant applications to 13 small and medium size grants and received its first legacy fund. The charity set a fundraising target of £45,000 for the year and successfully achieved this. The charity also managed to draw in unrestricted funds, donations, workshop fees, and selling items for donation (see financial report under donations for more details).
Financial expenditure – the bulk of the funds secured have been used to cover project costs, mainly equipment, venue hire, and external facilitator costs. Moving forward the charity aims to reach a point where permanent paid staff can oversee the delivery of project work, rather than relying on external facilitators.
Future Plans
Trustees’ Annual Report Period 30[th] June 2023– 29[th] June 2024
The charity hopes for a positive response to the already submitted business plans for an outdoor education space at Broad Oak Park in Bexhill as this will go a long way to enabling the charity to reach it’s aims, as well as supporting Rother District Council and other organisations to reach their environmental targets.
The charity will soon be developing an accreditation programme to support young people or unemployed into green sector jobs.
In the coming reporting year the charity will undertake an urban greening project for Bexhill Town Centre. Funding to kick start this project has already been sourced and further funding sources have been investigated.
The charity aims to be in a position to offer secure employment and work on the development of largescale and environmentally impactful projects, supporting both the needs of the community and our natural environment.
