A bit about us…… 

Waddington Street Centre is a small, independent mental health resource centre with over forty years of experience, offering a wide range of services to the local community. 

Our activities and services aim to support individual personal development and reduce social isolation and exclusion. Everything we offer is designed to suit a range of interests and needs. We are passionate about mental health and helping people to get back on track. 

We believe that people who struggle with their mental health should have a safe, supportive and interesting place to recover. Waddington Street is a community of like-minded people who support one another to have the best possible lives. 

At Waddington Street Centre, we’re about people!

## **Reflections on the Last Year.** 

Another busy year for WSC **,** this time with an Alliance focus. In April 2022 the Durham Mental Wellbeing Alliance went live. Thirteen providers (now fifteen) coming together to provide a range of support services with an emphasis on prevention. This has been a new way of working for us, however, it has been a great opportunity to streamline our services and think long and hard about our core business and what is important to us. As a result, our Board of Trustees decided that we should move away from the delivery of supported accommodation because our Alliance colleagues - Home Group and Richmond Fellowship, do this on a larger scale. We supported our tenants to source new accommodation. All of our tenancies ended by December 2022. Thanks must go to our landlords: The Hospital of God at Greatham, St Margaret’s PCC and Davison Holdings for their input over this hectic and transitional period. This change has allowed us to concentrate our attentions on the development of a service which focuses on promoting good physical health. This is an increasingly important area and it is our great pleasure to support our members to become fitter and make better choices. Our Waddy Feel Good Service offers one to one support and group activities including; Badminton, Football, Gym, Walking and New Age Curling. We are grateful to our community partners, including Durham University for inviting us to use their facilities and receive support from their student volunteers. 

To celebrate the arrival of the Durham Mental Wellbeing Alliance we had a launch event at the Raddison Hotel in June 2022. The event was a great success and brought us some positive attention. As the Alliance lead for Co-production and User Engagement, we were delighted to co-write and deliver a presentation about user voice with people who have lived experience. 

It felt particularly important to those using our services to have the spotlight. 

As an organisation and community, we have had to navigate many changes in the last year. In addition to the ongoing challenges of Covid and the more recent ‘Cost of Living Crisis,’ it has meant that we have needed to work even more closely as a team. Camaraderie and team spirit have never been more important. Our tiny team became smaller as we said farewell to our Digital Champion – who’d been with us for three years. Their contribution has supported members to become digitally included and have safer access to the internet. 

We also said goodbye to our Young Adult Support Café (YASC). After seven years we felt that the needs of the group had changed and with funding challenges it seemed appropriate at this juncture to call it a day. This work was made possible by our strong partnership with ‘Investing in Children.’ 

As a delivery partner of Stamp it Out – Mental Health Anti Stigma and Discrimination Campaign Group, we were part of a joint research project with Northumbria University. We explored the service user experience of stigma and discrimination (including self-stigma). The results, which are as yet unpublished, seek to bring about greater understanding and hopefully change. Stamp it Out became a sub-contractor of the Durham Mental Wellbeing Alliance in October 2023. We look forward to working with them even more closely. We want to ensure that across everything we do, people are treated with the dignity and respect they deserve. 



**Pictures from the DMWA Launch Event.** 

We’ve also focused our time on the planning and creation of our new Business Development Plan.  Our priority areas in the plan are: Finance, Relationships, Staff and Members, Co-Production and Looking After our Premises. As we head into an uncertain future we want to make sure that our foundations are sound and stable. 

Most importantly though, our last year has been about supporting our members through these increasingly difficult times. We are constantly aware of the demands and challenges our members face. Issues of poverty are very real and many of our members have limited funds. All the more reason for WSC to provide good quality activities and services which are free and inclusive. Thanks to the kindness and generosity of financial donors we were able to offer the Centre as a warm space from November 2022 to March 2023. Simple gestures like providing free hot drinks and soups were welcomed and appreciated by our members. 

As much as we benefit from the kindness of others we also like to give back to our community. In May 2022 we purchased an Acer King Crimson tree for Wharton Park. We like to visit often, with staff and Waddy Members, and its central location will mean it is enjoyed by all for many years to come.

**All our charitable activities focus on providing effective support and meaningful opportunities to adults living in the community who have mental health needs and are undertaken to further our charitable purposes for the public benefit. Demand is great because evidence tells us that:** 

“Individuals with SMI have a reduced life expectancy of 10-15 years compared with the general population (de Hert et al 2011) 

Individuals who are socially isolated are between two and five times more likely than those with social ties to die prematurely” (Marmot review 2012) 

## **More locally, Co Durham has a population of circa 520k** 

“51,000+ have a common mental health disorder, e.g. Anxiety and Depression” 

“23,000+ have SMI (Serious Mental Illness, e.g. Schizophrenia and Bi -Polar Disorder” 

**To ensure alignment with statutory requirements and recommendations: The Centre seeks at all times to engage with mental health guidance and strategies, both national and local.

## **Structure, Governance and Management of the Charity** 

The organisation’s governing documents are the Memorandum of Association and the Articles of Association dated 28[th] November 2011. 

Waddington Street Centre (WSC) is governed by a Board of Directors/Trustees which is responsible for managing the business of the Company. The Board meets approximately every six weeks and receives regular reports from the Centre’s Management team, the Treasurer and WSC Members. The Board also has three sub-committees which meet when required and report to the Board.  These are: the Finance Sub Committee, the Personnel (Employment) sub-committee and the Health & Safety sub-committee. Other working groups are set up by the Board as required. 

WSC seeks to have a Board which combines complementary skills and experiences and which has strong member representation. Consequently, individuals may be asked to consider serving as Directors/Trustees because they offer particular skills or experience, come from partner organisations, or are able to offer the perspective of service users (or ‘members’, as we call them). WSC encourages and supports members to become formally involved in helping to run the Centre. We do this through focus groups and formal helping roles including: reviewing procedures, buddies and peer support groups. People with lived experience have much to share and contribute. Our Valued Views Group, made up of our members, meet before each Board meeting. Their thoughts and views are then fed into the Board. Keeping member needs and views at the forefront of decisions is important to our Trustees.

## **Risk and Financial Review, Reserve and Investment Policy** 

## **Risk Review** 

The Board of Trustee Directors conducts an annual review of the major risks to which the charity is exposed and systems have been established to mitigate those risks. The current risk management strategy and risk register were agreed by the Board at their meeting on 8[th] August 2022. The register is to be reviewed by trustees at their meeting on 2[nd] October 2023. The trustees recognise that any major risks to which the charity is exposed need to be reviewed and systems put in place to mitigate those risks. To that end Waddington Street Centre Limited (WSC) is continually monitoring and managing its risk, reviewing the corporate risk register and ensuring action plans are in place to manage its key risks. 

## **Financial Review** 

The financial results for the charity are detailed in the annexed Statement of Financial Activities and Balance Sheet, together with the related notes. 

In summary, WSC made an overall deficit of £90,778 during 2022-2023 (compared to a surplus of £38,328 during 2021-2022). This year’s deficit was due to the charity going through a major system change in funding, from an individual service level agreement to a partnership agreement via the Durham Mental Wellbeing Alliance (DWMA). WSC joined DMWA on 1[st] April 2022 guaranteeing funding for 7 years (with possibly an additional 3 years). The closure of the former housing provision provided through the service level agreement had a significant impact on the funding income decrease within the year. 

It is worth noting that included in the deficit of £90,778, that within the year £43,360 was spent from funding that was restricted in its use having been received in an earlier period. 

Trustees are aware going forwards that the DWMA annual funding, which is not index linked, is not covering the cost of the Centre’s Alliance service provision. This contributed in part to the deficit. As a result, additional funding is being sought to enable WSC to continue to provide a similar level of service provision to its members as prior to 1[st] April 2022. This will be ongoing and will be developed by trustees and management in line with business development plan priorities for 2023-2026. 



## **Reserve Policy** 

Waddington Street Centre provides support to people with significant mental health issues. 

Hence, many of its members are vulnerable, and are very reliant upon our services. Therefore, we are very mindful to ensure we can support them for a period of time so that there is opportunity to try to ensure that the future support required by each individual member is in place before they are discharged from our support services. In short, a transition period would be required to cover any eventuality. 

Additionally, as an ongoing exercise within our business development plan, we are constantly reviewing and reporting internally and externally on our finances and looking at different funding streams.  Due to the need to keep running our services at the level we have been and to an increase in member referrals through the Alliance we need to hold reserves to ensure we have sufficient to cover the services our members need and have come to rely on. As we are working in a new funding system and an economic downturn, which itself has a knock-on effect with charitable giving, we are also looking at ways to future-proof the charity for the years to come. 

For these reasons, the board has established a Reserve Policy whereby free reserves (unrestricted current assets less unrestricted current liabilities) should ideally be at least equal to unrestricted expenditure during the past 12 months. 

The board has also decided and approved that included in our Reserve Policy to cover future-proofing to designate the follow sums in areas of expenditure that are important to the centre’s upkeep and development: 

Building maintenance and upkeep £20k (Year 2) Mini bus replacement - £10kpa x 6 yrs. (£60k) £20k (Year 1) Technology infrastructure incl. IT renewal - £10k pa x 3 yrs. £10k Development and Personnel costs £58k Designated funds £108k 

From the 2022-2023 accounts Free Reserves stand at £321k and unrestricted expenditure during the past 12 months was £269k. With £108k designated by the board from Reserves the Centre has £213k available, equating to circa. 9 months running costs. 

The board is working towards meeting the requirements of its Reserve Policy. 

## **Investment Policy** 

Although no investments are currently held, the charity has the power to make any investment which the Board sees fit.

## **Relationships** 

## WSC has extensive relationships with other organisations both in the statutory and voluntary sectors.  Relationships and networks include: 

- Partner in the Durham Mental Wellbeing Alliance, Commissioned by Durham County Council 

- New College Durham. This Grade 1 OFSTED - rated Further Education College strongly supports the work of the Centre and provides a wide range of educational courses and activities for members. 

- NHS Trusts. Regular contacts with health professionals, notably with the Lanchester Road Hospital (Tees, Esk and Wear Valleys NHS Trust). 

- Durham County Council Public Health. We receive funding to operate Men’s and Women’s Crees. A mostly peer support driven model which seeks to reduce social isolation and suicide rates. 

- Durham University Community Outreach and Engagement. Work with the University’s outreach programme enhances venue and training possibilities for Centre services particularly around physical health activities including the use of football and gym facilities. 

- Durham and Darlington County Wide Forum – A Service User and Carer led group. 

- Waddington Street United Reformed Church – Supports the WSC, most notably by allowing us use of their premises. 

In addition to the above, Waddington Street Centre, through its networks and partnerships, sits on the: 

- Resilient Communities Group 

- County Durham Mental Health Provider & Stakeholder Forum 

- Mental Health Anti Stigma and Discrimination Group – ‘Stamp it Out.’ 

- Partners in the Durham Mental Wellbeing Alliance. 

- Durham Community Action Volunteers Forum 

- Durham Community Action – Better Together Forum 

- County Durham Vision Engagement Forum 

WSC has relationships with many other organisations. It is a member of umbrella and infrastructure organisations in the voluntary sector, and has close connections and receives generous support from several charitable trusts. The Centre liaises with Durham Community Action and provides volunteering opportunities.

## What our members say…… 

I returned to the Centre after some time away, have really missed the place and people. Great to be doing art again. My wife says I seem happier. 

I have many friends here and life is just easier with good people around you – thanks Waddy. 


We have a laugh and I love the Crazy Creatures sessions. Meeting the animals makes us feel great and more relaxed. 

I get support with benefits and there is always someone to talk to when you need help. 


The free hot drinks were appreciated over the winter. Nice to know that people who may be struggling had some help. 

I love helping in the café. Gives me a purpose and helps the team out. We all need our cuppas. 


I love the art group and being creative. Really takes my mind off my problems. Have also made good friends here” 



## **Waddy Feel Good Service – Physical Health** 

Since September 2023 WSC has been focused on the development of our new service which promotes better physical health outcomes for those living with mental health needs. Statistics tell us that people living with long term mental illness live on average 15 years less than the general population. We feel this is unacceptable and want to enthuse and support our members to look after their physical health too. Supporting people to engage in group exercise activities has proven to be the best approach. It can be hard for many of us to remain motivated to regularly exercise and this can be particularly challenging in mental health settings. The peer support aspects of group work mean that members are able to encourage each other and motivate one another to remain involved. We’ve also been able to offer taster sessions in activities such as Dance, New Age Curling and Pilates. Regular consultation with our members means that people can tell us what they want to try. Curling has proved particularly popular and we now have a peer led group who meet weekly to play. 

We believe that everyone can do a little more to look after themselves and if it’s fun then great!

## **Learning based activities.** 

Our ongoing partnership with NCD remains one of our most important. We participated in an Ofsted inspection in November 2022. It was a great pleasure to share the value of learning and the impact it has on our people. Many of our members report poor past experiences of school or other formal learning environments. Developing programmes of learning which challenge and stretch our learners is important but ultimately it should be fun too. 

Our courses and the opportunities they bring for personal development are paramount. It has been wonderful to have them up and running again after Covid. It is easy to misplace your confidence and former interests when you are ill. Our courses give people the opportunity to try new things in a supportive and nonpressured environment.  Our learners are able to discover and develop skills and knowledge which promotes better wellbeing and self-esteem. They take on new identities as artists, writers and musicians. Our Centre is packed to the rafters with highly creative and talented folks. Our job is just to help them find and recognise their true abilities. 

Thank you to New College Durham and their tutors. We are proud to be part of such a positive partnership which brings so much benefit to our members.

## **Waddy Helpers** 

We’ve always believed in keeping folks busy. Having a sense of purpose and a reason to get out of bed is important for good mental health. We do however fully appreciate that there are many barriers and challenges for those who are struggling with their mental health. 

The most important thing at WSC is providing the best possible opportunities for people. Nothing makes us happier than seeing people thrive. 

Expressing gratitude is important for us and our members often want to express their thanks to WSC for the support they receive. The notion of ‘giving back’ is very important to them and so the development of peer helping roles has been a mutually beneficial addition. 

We currently have a pool of 14 Waddy helpers who support in the following ways: running our kitchen; leading activities and classes; helping us to look after the building, garden and minibus, buddying and supporting other peers. We even have our very own Poet Laureate. 

As we become increasingly busier, having these additional helping hands is invaluable. 

There’s something extra special about everyone working together to achieve a shared goal – true community. 

We hope to keep developing and expanding this offer. Next year we want to offer more training for our Waddy Helpers and we aspire to support people into volunteering roles outside of Waddington Street Centre.

## **Other Groups and Centre Activities** 

## **Men’s and Women’s Crees.** 

Our Crees allow us to provide gender-specific groups outside of our day time operations. These informal, co-produced groups are aimed to create safe, social spaces where peers can offer support to one another, form new friendships and choose the activities they enjoy. We’ve been on trips to garden centres and galleries, played bingo, darts and dominoes, exercised our lungs with karaoke, created beautiful crafts and explored wellbeing activities which promote better physical and mental health. Pizza and cake eating has also been involved along the way. Girls (and boys) just want to have fun. 

## **Saturday Support.** 

Saturday social and art groups remain one of our most popular and beloved sessions. The slightly more relaxed atmosphere is welcomed by those who couldn’t socialise elsewhere due to the generally busy nature of Saturdays. Although Saturday support remains a closed session for members we do hope to return to a drop-in model sometime next year. Weekend groups are still quite rare so we are particularly proud to be able to offer this kind of support. 



## **Some powerful words from our own poet laureate.** 

## **Acts of Kindness** 

This verse holds much significance, yet slightly overdue, For some time now, I’ve been amazed by every one of you. Especially in murky times where all is so surreal, Where scars within humanity miraculously heal. An era where we must accept our frightful world of change, We never could have wondered - as bizarre as very strange. But headway is still possible and answers we must seek, With hope and generosity, and courage week-to-week. Caring hearts and souls ring true in family and friends, Regardless of our issues, we must strive to make amends. There’s challenges appearing yet we’ll overcome the fight, Your spirits are remarkable, your efforts bold and bright. Credited, this journey is a tough one to believe, But if we pull together we can certainly achieve. All are now adapting when engaging in our tasks, Essential journeys only too whilst kitted in our masks. We should embrace the simple fact we’ve knuckled down and fought, Mindful of each other, warmly offering support. Although these days are difficult, we should feel reassured, Weathering this virus during all we have endured. My gratitude to everyone who’ve eased my trying mission, Supportive texts and phone calls checking in on my condition. And that’s the point I’m making - all have pulled together well, Bless you all eternally throughout this crazy spell. Remember that collectively we’ll reach the goals we’re chasing, Acts of kindness helps us with the trials that we are facing. 

_Cristopher Short_ 



## **We can’t do our important work without the help and support of so many people……** 

Particular thanks must go to; Support Staff, Volunteers, Tutors, the Waddington Street United Reformed Church, Durham University, New College Durham, Durham County Council, Donors including – P&M Lovell, Shakespeare Temperance Trust, Henry Smith Charity and the United Reformed Church. Thank you to all of our individual donors also. 

**Here’s how we’ve used our donations …….** 

**Every donation helps us to keep the Centre and its services going. The after- effects of Covid and the ongoing 'Cost of Living Crisis' means that our services are more important than ever.** 

**We currently support 137 people per week across our Monday - Saturday and evening provision.** 

**Over the winter months, November -February, it was essential that we opened our doors as a warm space. Providing vulnerable people with a safe and warm space was a key focus for us. Winter is a difficult time within the Mental Health Community at the best of times - we knew that this last winter would provide even greater challenges and felt that we must be pro-active about offering further support. £693 of donations received, helped us to provide free hot drinks and soups to those most in need.** 

**We've also been focused on the importance of Digital Inclusion. Many of our members have limited access to the internet or are nervous about using it. Many of the people we support are excluded because of digital poverty. We spent £3,500 towards the employment of a Digital Champion - a support role focused specifically on Digital Inclusion and internet safety. As a result, more people now have access to the internet and can more safely access the online services they need.** 

**Young People have struggled greatly as a result of Covid - our Young Adult Support Cafe (YASC) has been an important social space for young people to come together and receive support from peers and staff. £4,073 was used toward staffing costs and activities such as gaming and arts and crafts.** 



**Waddington Street Centre is a placebased service. This is important to people as it provides a safe community building for our members to socialise, receive emotional and practical support and get involved with educational activities. It does however mean that to provide this support we have to fund the infrastructure of our building. By doing this we provide a safe and comfortable foundation to build services upon. We want our members to feel valued and we do this by keeping our building warm, well decorated, cosy, safe and eco-friendly. Environment and access to up to date resources has a hugely positive impact on mental wellbeing. Dingy buildings and under resourced services do not inspire good mental health!** 

**We also want to get people out and about and enjoying social experiences that they may not be able to access themselves. Our minibus, purchased with donations in 2021- the year of our 40th anniversary, enables us to take people to a range of activities. These include theatre and gallery visits and trips out to beauty spots across the North East.** 

**We've also used donations to:** 

- **Transform our backyard into a comfortable and visual community space.** 

- **Help paying for minibus running costs** 

- **Install new lighting in our art studio** 

- **Buy new equipment for our busy kitchen** 

- **Maintain of our lift - essential for those with physical disabilities.** 

**One of our members who raised money for us.**
