ACHIEVEMEKfs AND PERFORMANCE
Actlvities and Achlev8m8nts
2024-25 $8w our team, and thereforè our s8Nlees, grow. We welcomèd Mo new members of stsff and a new
regular volunt&er and as a ￿Ult were ablè to expand our offer and strengthen Ihe resilience of some existing
aclivilies. Ivs be8ll a year of lormalising and consolidating plans- properly resourcing work we'd been aspiring to
do for some time so that it can reach Its full potential and generate meaningful irnpa¢l. Thè Bèrin Centre has
deèpèned its ¥0015 Ill this comtnunily and we've used the year to nol only nurture th8 now, bul lo Cuf up the next
6voluts.on of our work in Berinsfidd.
FamSly S•Trvlces
Our Family SaNice8 are well-gstabllshad. ￿lI-Sttefided, and a deeply embedded part of the local service
landscape. Our small team of three slaff have cuttivated a vari8d and comprehensive offer whiLh Ss both rtrliable
and r&spollsive to famllias, ch8nglng ￿eeds. Thls ye8r. we hève had on offer 18 regular sèsslons, from Stay and
Play Groups lo tOPiC•basèd workshop5. along wrth a fvrther 14 different trips and ¢vants. This h8$ bee
complemanléd by other vlsiling sèrwees such as OXPIP 8eeing clients at the cEntre every week, and the Haatth
Visitors running r8gu18r clinics and Baby Lunehbox 5ession$.
The t8atn have contlnu4d lo monitor closely howwants and needs ol famlllas and h8v8 crg8t8d or adapted
services in response. In pai*cular, we launched a monthly Maternity Library which offers maternity and
breasffeeding elothè$. ¢lolh nappy kits, and baby-w8arfng sllngs 811 lo hire or borrow for free. Thls prolect was
shsped from the OLrtset by a group of parent volunteers. and wa provided th8rn and the Family Services sta(f with
P8•r SupwrtTraining for sling fitting and safety so that they can advise parents wllh conffdenea.
Our one-lo-one v40rk has been a real area of strength thls year - whilst thls work has betsn a core part of our
offering for many years, thls yearwe have seen an increase In falher5 needing sijpptwt. With our open-ended and
holistic approach. we've worked with several rnen ov8r s8v6r81 rnonths t(> provide support with topics such as
rel8tionships. parenlng, practical issues such a5 housing, and rnental health. One beneficiary said
"Ifth8y ljadn'l ￿￿kod me back up off th8 Noor when they Old, I rn￿￿1 not héve got back up. They 98ve mo $ bit of

We also took pert in some collaboratlve efforts across the illllage to provide increased support to lamllies with
childrell who have SEND. We é8livered a regular SEND wffee morning, Conllnued to provid8 'Ou5ot Zon8' play
sessS0fjs in the school holiday3, ren a trip to Thomley (play site for people wlth disabl11t￿s) and helped to launch
a n8wregular SEND dnema ai the loGal Berinsltgld Communlty Assodation {8CAI. This last8dlvlty now continues
to run independenlty of us, organlsed by parent volunle8rs and BCA staff.
La8tly, our Growing Minds sthool readines5 proj8Ct covtinues to grow - we slighdy amonded our dellvery model
by spllttlng our groups into Iwo - a baby gmup, and 'Otsidoor Explorers,. Th18 format has really landed well with
