Objectives and activities
Gorebridge Community Cares continues to focus on Poverty Alleviation which unfortunately remains a core issue for our community which has been exacerbated by the ongoing cost of living crisis. Although the rate at which costs are increasing has slowed compared to the peak in 2022, inflation remains high and many households in our community are still struggling with increased costs for essential items like food and energy. Gorebridge is one of Midlothian Council’s ‘target areas’ due to being identified in the Scottish Index of Multiple Deprivation and the community faces a changing demographic and increase in population which has not been met with increased service provision. Despite the challenges faced by our community and our organisation we strive to meet these challenges with a positive approach and to look for the small but important ways we can help to improve lives, alleviate poverty and create a thriving community. We hope to make Gorebridge a fairer, more equal and happier to place to live. The organisation’s purposes are:
-
To advance; and serve the Gorebridge and District community by identifying and improving recreational, environmental and emotional opportunities for children, adults and families. Working with voluntary and statutory professionals, local businesses and funders, to improve outcomes for the community of Gorebridge. The area within which the organisation shall operate shall be Gorebridge and District Community Council area. 2. To advance; and to identify opportunities within the local community to enable young people to achieve their full potential through any of the following - education, recreation, sport, volunteering opportunities.
-
To promote; develop and identify strategies to help to ensure the inclusion of senior citizens within the Gorebridge and District community.
-
To relieve and support people to pursue a better quality of life, by improving access to training and development to improve their life skills and employment opportunities.
-
To strengthen the Gorebridge and District community by encouraging more active citizens, working together to tackle their problems and promoting a healthier and happier community.
-
To provide a united and effective voice in discussions with local authorities and other providers of services and/or businesses/others on issues that impact on the health, welfare or environment of the Gorebridge and District community.
-
Toidentify and apply to funding bodies for resources to support these aims. Achievements and performance
The Trustees and staff continue to prioritise alleviating poverty, improving mental health and resilience to a diverse group in our community.
We saw a change in staffing in the second half of the year as our Family Support Officer, Claire Crawford moved on to seek exciting and new challenges. Claire was instrumental in establishing a robust and fair system for distributing the LACER funding and was also instrumental in delivering several of our groups. We were very sad to see Claire go as she has been a valuable and much-loved member of staff who has supported many in the community in her time with our organisation.
We are delighted to have appointed a new Family Support Officer, Donna Burton who has brought a real drive and enthusiasm to the role. Although she has only been with the organisation since the New Year Donna has been successful in applying for numerous small grants and fundraising a well as her core role in supporting our families.
One of our biggest successes this year has been through the continued work of a core group of volunteers
within the garden, craft group and ‘Rummage in the Jumble’. The craft group have been tireless in their fundraising efforts and the money they have raised has allowed us to keep running our services. The rummage volunteers have established a high-quality sustainable service for the reuse and recycling of good quality children’s clothing and toys to those most in need. The group strive to ensure that those most in need are given a helping hand and at the same time have become empowered and built on their own skills and resilience. Our nurture groups from the local nursery schools continue to be much in demand and we have continued with gardening projects led by more of our invaluable volunteers as well as intergenerational storytelling and cooking workshops led by our Development Manager. We are very thankful also to our volunteers who keep the grass cut and keep the outside space functional whilst ensuring that it looks tidy and welcoming.
We continue to work with organisations, in particular UPMO, Dalkeith Citizens Advice Bureau (CAB), VOCAL, Thistle Foundation and Health in Mind as well as other local groups and have recently formed a good working relationship with the relatively newly formed Newbyres Community Trust.
We believe that working together brings an immense amount of experience and knowledge to those who use our services. We continue to share and lease two rooms in our building with UPMO, a Charity for young disabled adults with learning difficulties and Autism, and we are delighted that they have become embedded into our community family.
We would like to thank the following grant funders whose financial support allowed us to deliver our projects:
** Midlothian Council — various grants — Large, LACER
** Robertson Trust
“ Benefact “ NWH — Nurture Grant
We would thank the following donors for their welcome donations
“+ Various donations by community members over the year ** Local businesses who support our organisation 2 Anonymous donations
Our activities during the year included:
— ~~Tackling Poverty - LACER Funding, Toiletry/Food Voucher Support~~ Following our successful allocation of LACER funding last year, we have continued to work as a
Trusted Partner with Midlothian Council to provide a cash first approach to help some of the most vulnerable members of our community. In the year 2024/2025 we disbursed 101 allocations to qualifying members of the community totalling £3,967.
Our role as a Trusted Partner brings us into contact with some of the most vulnerable in our community who we have also been able to assist with provision of advice and support. One of the key benefits of being a Trusted Partner is our ability to signpost users to other sources of advice and support such as the Scottish Welfare Fund, CAB, Social Security Scotland and other local organisations. We have made over 150 referrals to the CAB and signposted over 170 users to other sources of advice and support.
Using the same referral system as for the LACER funding and working with Home School Practitioners, Health Visitors and other organisations, we have distributed Emergency Toilet packs to numerous households. These packs included washing liquid for clothes, shampoo, shower gel, toothpaste and other items needed for personal hygiene and care.
We also distributed £500 worth of food vouchers to families in need over the festive season. > — ~~Tackling Poverty - Rummage in the Jumble~~
The Rummage in the Jumble is a place where families can access children’s school and other clothes at no cost (a small donation can be given if desired). We have had donations of buggies, prams as well as toys and books that we can pass on at no cost. We have a core group of committed and efficient volunteers who have created a well organised and presented system of storage in our garage. Clothes are available to select by size and the volunteers have organised a series of special events including baby and school uniform events which have been advertised across social media and have been well attended. Those attending the Rummage can also drop into the Hive to be signposted to local services and find out more about our groups. We are very grateful to our volunteers and also the Gorebridge Community who keep us supplied with high quality donations that we can distribute to those most in need.
~~Big Lunch and Summer Activities 2024~~
Owing to the increased cost of coach hire and food provisions, we concentrated our summer trip ona single trip to the seaside for our families. The trip was a real highlight of the year providing a free fun day out for families during the school summer holiday. Games in the Auld Gala Park were also held during the summer of 2024, with free drinks and snacks for the children.
Our summer activities also included our annual “Big Lunch” held in the Auld Gala Park. The event was free for all to attend and included Bouncy Castles, facepainting, glitter tattoos, Scottish Lowland Games, Teddy Bear’s picnic, best pet competition, a handmade present from our crafters and free snacks and drinks. We also hid small toy ducks throughout the park and the kids had a great time trying to find and collect as many as they could.
Santa Event 2024
Our annual Santa’s Grotto Event continues to be a highlight of the year with lessons learned from previous years being employed to allow for this event to be a resounding success and highly anticipated by the community. As with the previous year the event was held over three days. Friday and Saturday saw the Santa's Grotto held in Gorebridge Community Cares’ Hive. Free tickets for younger children were distributed in advance and each child attended a timed slot when they had an opportunity to take part in free activities, write a letter to Santa and receive one of Mhairi and Audrey’s hot chocolates. Each child had a chance to visit Santa in his grotto and received a gift. On leaving the grottos each child was also given the opportunity to select a pre-loved soft toy, (recycled, washed and laundered from our Rummage in the Jumble). One of the great successes was the availability of Christmas Jumpers free to children attending including one child who had a
Christmas jumper for the first time and was so chuffed to be able to attend a ‘Christmas Jumper’ event at his nursery.
Each child also had the opportunity for a turn on Santa’s Sleigh and to have a photograph taken with selfie props. The Saturday also saw a visit from the Gorebridge Community Cares choir who entertained those waiting to see Santa (and our volunteers) with a wonderful performance of Christmas carols. Another larger free event was held at Gorebridge Leisure Centre on Sunday. This included a pantomime performance from our Class Acts group as well as various craft stalls. The children also had the opportunity to have their faces painted and decorate cakes before heading down the road to watch the Christmas lights switch on and join in with carols with the community.
~~New Years Day 2025~~
Building on the success of New Years Day 2024 and motivated by the thought that some of our seniors would have limited social contact over the festive season, some of our Trustees and Development Manager decided to host a ‘small gathering’ in the Hive on New Years Day. This turned into a wonderful celebration of food and good company. Poor weather restricted some of our seniors from attending but the event was enjoyed by all. The success of the day was a testament to the dedication of our staff, trustees and volunteers. What a fantastic day that this turned out to be anda brilliant start to the New Year.
~~Craft Group~~
The Craft Group goes from strength to strength and is at the heart of our organisation bringing together people from across the community and initiating projects which have the benefit of our community at the heart. Our trustees Aileen and Margaret are core to the success of the group and projects undertaken this year include provision of colourful knee blankets for the elderly residents in the local care home, ‘worry worm’ key rings for children attending The Big Lunch, and hats, scarves and pencil cases for the primary schoolchildren. Keeping other trustees in suspense throughout the Autum period the craft group worked on a secret Christmas surprise — knitting and crocheting a menagerie of ‘pets’ for a ‘petbola’ at the Christmas event. The group also knitted Christmas post box toppers for the post boxes in the Main Street and at the store which added to the sense of community and excitement at Christmas time. The group are currently crocheting emojis rings for children attending the Big Lunch. The benefits of the group reach far beyond the wonderful things that they make, and the sounds of laughter and warmth abound when they meet. The group has developed into a peer support group with their reach and activities extending beyond their weekly meetings and making a real difference to the lives of all members of the group and the wider community.
~~Qutdoor Gardener’s Group and Plant Sale~~
We continue to be grateful for one of our very talented volunteers who looks after our greenhouse and is an invaluable member of the craft community, the outdoor gardener’s group and does fantastic window displays for the Hive at Christmas. The Hive has an excellent outdoor space which is also tended by volunteers and by our UPMO colleagues with raised beds in the front adding colour and vibrancy on approach to the Hive.
We are also very grateful for the services of our volunteers in cutting the grass and keeping the outside of the Hive looking great all year round.
This green space outside The Hive has also given us the opportunity to focus on more environmentally friendly projects with the local nursery school. The gardener’s group also held a plant sale at the Hive in May selling young plants from our greenhouse as well as donations from the local community.
~~REHIS Training and Nurture Cooking and Gardening Workshops~~ 32 members of Gorebridge Community members took part in REHIS Training and gained a level 5
certificate in Food Hygiene. This is part of our pathway out of poverty — attending groups, gaining confidence, interest in REHIS training and help with CVs where required, 24 people have had help with their CV’s.
Our Development Manager has also run REHIS training courses on behalf of Midlothian Council, Newtongrange Development Trust. This provides us with a much-needed source of income and also
increases our links with services and other organisation across the Midlothian community.
Children from Stobhill and St Andrews Primary School nurture groups have been cooking and gardening at the Hive. At Gorebridge Cares we provide a safe space for the children to express themselves through cooking, outdoor play, and art. The Nurture Groups are based on the Curriculum for Excellence. The nurture groups have also been taking part in our walks on a Friday providing an excellent opportunity for intergenerational interaction which extended beyond the walks into an intergenerational story time with some of our seniors dressing up and reading stories to the younger children.
The Class Acts
‘The Class Acts’ group is one of the highlights of our week. We have a core group of regular attendees
whom we have seen grow in confidence and skills over their time with us. The group has an informal learning style with cooking, face painting lessons and craft making. The dynamic of the group has changed this year with a large cohort of former attendees moving on to play for the Arniston Diamond girls football team on a Saturday. This has reduced the overall number of young people attending but has allowed us to really focus on the needs of a smaller group.
~~Sociable Senior Group and Short Health Walk~~
Our sociable senior group continues to thrive. The Friday morning health walk is a continued success and is followed by the opportunity for the group to come into the Hive for a chat and a warm drink and soup or one of Mhairi’s filled rolls. The group have developed a support network which has seen them organise activities beyond the Monday classes such as swimming. The WhatsApp group that accompanies the Friday Health Walk provides a social space for chat in between the walking sessions, and is quite active.
The Monday Sociable Senior Group includes seated workouts to music and fun in the Birkenside Pavilion.
Financial Review
A deficit of £18,535 (2024: surplus of £4,902) arose during the period. At the year-end there were funds of £51,251 to be carried forward, of which £31,302 were unrestricted.
Reserves Policy
This year, as with last, has required us to use some of our unrestricted funds to make improvements and repairs to the building. This has included a new hand dryer in the toilets in the rear of the building in an attempt to reduce paper waste and solve an ongoing problem with toilet blockages.
We continue to keep a very careful eye on our spending, especially when grant funds, which were awarded a few years’ ago, are not inflation proof and energy and other costs continue to rise due to the cost-of-living crisis. Our energy bills have continued to rise as have the costs of food and materials for our support groups and classes.
