Building Better Opportunities	Building Better Opportunities	We have worked closely with Herffordshire County Council in the
		delivery of two Building Better Opportunities projects in the county.
		This has included the central management and recruitment ofstaff,
		lead on the Equahty & Diversity Plan, creation of central marketing
		material, recording project dissemination, and chair of the BBO
		Steering Group.
		In addition to our support role with the County Council in the central
		management, we have employed five Mentors who have worked
		with individuals facing social isolation to support them to build their
		self-confidence and overcome barriers. The sim ofthe project is to
		support participants into employment, volunteering or further
		learning. The project has the ethos of providing in-depth support
		and mentoring and this has led to positive outcomes as outlined in
		a series ofcase studies.
Community	Transport	We have adapted our Community Transport services during the
		year, our Store2Door project was very well received and made
		peoples lives better during the lockdown periods and beyond. The
		service supported over 400 vulnerable individuals with shopping
		and prescription cofiections on s weekly basis, reducing anxieties of
		individuals snd families both in Decorum and further afield.
		We were unable to use most ofour minibuses during the year, and
		ag but two were mothballed. We continued to run a school bus
		service between Wiggington and Tring School however this contract
		was not continued, and the service withdrawn during the year.
Connect Decorum		Connect Decorum has held six virtual Networking Events, induding
		a Christmas Lunch fundraiser where Connect Decorum members
		enjoyed their lunch athome on Zoom. Participants were entertained
		by local entrepreneur Ben Moorehouse at the meal.
		Itwas not possible to run the Dragon's Apprentice initiative forsafety
		reasons.

Creative	Learning	During the year we worked hard to convert our face-to-face training
		courses online. This includes using Zoom and Teams to deliver our
		training programs. We have provided learning opportunities to over
		400 adults (aged 19+) in a wide range of topics. English for
		Speakers of Other Languages, Arts 8 Crafts, Belly Dancing,
		Exercise, Swimming, Confidence Building, Employment Skills,
		Healthy Eating, Technology and Know Your Town. In our delivery
		we have met and exceeded the targets set by the funder, including
		quahty provision in line with Ofsted requirements.
European	Projects	We have been engaged in 23 funded projects over the year in the
		fields of volunteering, creating digital Tools for teachers/trainer,
		employability, youth engagement and active citizenship. This has
		included many projects where we are the lead applicant, with the
		topics including Local and International Active Seniors, Combating
		Loneliness, Cultural Diversity in youth work, My Community 2020
		covering local history, Social Enterprise in a youth work, SMIIM-
		Interpreting & Cultural Mediation to break down language barriers,
		Top 10 Employability Skills 2020 to improve skills to match current
		demand, providing opportunity to other local voluntary organisations
		to attend training in other EU countries.
		The ethos of the European Project activity is to share our
		knowledge, learn from other countries facing the same soaal issues
		and to use this learning to improve our local provision. In addition,
		the activities continue to provide a valuable professional
		development opportunity for participants.
Radio Decorum		With the support ofour volunteer presenters, we have continued to
		broadcast world-wide via the internet, seven days per week with DJs
		hosting shows from their homes. During this year we have
		broadcast a live lunchtime program to support people through the
		pandemic, as well as public information programs including
		information about the vaccination, and Music for Memory, a program
		supporting people with dementia.
		We average 2,262 listener hours per month and continue to build
		our social media presence and advertising base.
Repair Shed		We now host three sheds: two at Sunnyside Rural Trust and a third
		at St Luke's Foundation School. They continue to thnve and add to
		the important contribution we make in addressing social isolation.
		The shed members, who are predominantly aged over 50, have
		continued to recycle, reuse and repair, with the goods made being
		sold at local community events to contribute to the costs of the
		project.
		Whilst sheds were unable to meet during the lockdowns, they
		continued to meet socially online and share their homemade
		creations.
Shopmobility		Shopmobility has been able to open briefly during the year and
		uptake was slow, however since the last lockdown and the reduction

	ofrestrictions,	people are now increasing their uptake	people are now increasing their uptake	ofthe service
	and numbers	are gently increasing week on week.
Support4Dacorum	We hold a three-year contract with		Decorum Borough Council
	(commenced	Dec 2016)which has been extended to		at least Dec
	2021 to dekver the Support4Dacorum		service. During	the year the
	contract has	met and have in some	instances exceeded the Key
	Performance	Indicator targets.
	This service	has delivered over	1000 volunteers	during the
	Coronavirus	pandemic, supporting	the efforts to help isolating
	people and those clinically vulnerable.		In addition this	team has led
	the work with	the vaccination centres,	delivering over	10,000 hours
	ofvolunteering	and saving the NHS Etgm in staff time.
