Nunsmoor Centre TrustAnnual Report

November 2019 – November 2020

“Everyone is a bit scared” said the horse “But we are less scared together” From the wonderful book ‘The boy, the mole, the fox and the horse’ – Charlie Mackesy

Perhaps this may seem a strange quote with which to begin this year’s Annual Report. However, I was introduced to this book in the Summer, by a very kind person, at a time when we were all still in the midst of trying to find ways to cope with the ongoing Covid 19 challenges and at a time when I was struggling with health issues myself and feared for the future. It seems to me that we have all found ourselves facing huge challenges and difficulties in the past months due to the global pandemic but the fact that we have all been facing this situation gave us an understanding of how other people were feeling producing empathy and compassion for each other and the fears, often unspoken, that people were struggling with. We have seen communities come together to support others, to show love in acts of kindness to strangers and to do their best, despite the difficulties, to bring each other reassurance and reduce isolation and fear.

It is important that we, as a Trust, engage with all members of the community no matter what their age, ethnicity, religious beliefs, cultural background, gender, sexual orientation, ability or disability, or need, with respect, kindness and compassion. Much of our work centres around wellbeing, inclusion and diversity. We work daily to listen to the views of the community striving to make changes to our work to meet the growing need. Over recent challenging months we have had to adjust by being flexible and inventive in the way we have kept links and provided as much provision, as has been possible, virtually. The Trust believes wholeheartedly that the way we interact with children, young people, families, individuals, partners and other organisations is hugely important.

The Trust’s working year, at the end of last November, began well. After last year’s AGM we busied ourselves preparing for the Winter festive activities whilst continuing our ongoing day to day projects and activities. Our plan for the forthcoming year’s provision of activities and projects was agreed and we looked forward to the year ahead with renewed energy and enthusiasm.

We set out our plan to further increase the amount of partnership work that we would undertake, in this way providing the best possible service, meeting more of the identified community need and making the best use of limited finances.

Planned activities included:

Managing the NCC’s ACCESS Fund for children, within the city, who have additional needs and disabilities

Facilitating the NCC’s ‘Get Connected’ Sports Inclusion contract Providing English Conversation Classes including the new delivery of

‘family provision’ (working in partnership with NUSU Go Volunteer) and N.E.S.T.

Continuing provision of the Parent and toddler Group Expanding Toy Library provision Environmental activities Continuation of the Junk Music Project Partners in the NCC ‘Artists in Residence- Over the Rainbow project’ Launching and facilitating the ‘Memories through Music’ Dementia

friendly project Providing a Summer Weekend Play Project again during the Summer

months Leading and hosting a Summer Community Diversity Celebration Event. Providing projects and events for children and young people as

identified. Undertaking consultation to help direct our work going forward. Leading a Winter Festival for the community Providing a Christmas disco for children and young people. Fundraising for identified projects, activities and community

development work. Working to secure the longer term use of the centre for the community Managing the’ out of hours’ booking system to allow maximum use of

the centre for the benefit of the community. Developing further partnership work, with other agencies, to provide

provision for any need we identify through our consultations.

We are hugely grateful to the Community Foundation which has supported much of our work and again funded our seasonal Winter festivities. We were delighted to host the Community Winter Festival early in December. We welcomed partners including Greening Wingrove CIC, The time Exchange, The Intensive Family Support Team and FOOTSTEPS Childcare Services. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming with lots of activities for everyone to enjoy. The event was a very well supported, with maximum capacity numbers from a range of different ethnicities and backgrounds and a wide age

range. Unfortunately, the mini marquees were unable to be erected because of the wind speed but we managed to accommodate everything within the centre with some creative rearrangement.

Santa’s grotto moved upstairs and we decorated the lift to take eager children to visit Santa in his beautifully decorated grotto. As in previous years attendees made beautiful, fresh, evergreen wreaths to adorn their front doors. We were grateful to the Time Exchange for facilitating this activity. Our thoughts were with Tony Robson who had always facilitated this activity but had suffered a serious health problem and was unable to be part of the festivities. He was missed enormously. A local church choir serenaded us with Christmas songs and carols which was wonderful. Footsteps nursery provided activities for the younger children. We also undertook a consultation, with those attending, which we hoped would help shape the future work of the centre and its partners.

Other activities included craft activities such as calendars, cards, fire cone decorating, and book marks. The children and young people had fun decorating cakes and gingerbread men. Everyone enjoyed the homemade soup and crusty bread. Our Junk Music team facilitated a happy music session. The event culminated in the late afternoon as everyone gathered around the outdoor tree for the switching on of the Christmas lights with Santa. It is always such a privilege to witness the wonder on the faces of small children at such times and to be part of such a joyous occasion. Our thanks to all of the partners and volunteers who helped to make the event so successful.

We held a Christmas Disco night for our children and young people who came from all ethnic backgrounds. It was a truly inclusive event with children and young people of all abilities, including those with additional needs and disabilities, taking part. Parents, grandparents and carers joined in too. D.J. James Bell did a fantastic job of facilitating the disco and games supported by trustees and volunteers in festive hats. Satsumas and water were provided and the children and young people took selection boxes home with them. It was a wonderful evening and a real pleasure to wish smiling families a very ‘happy holiday’ as they set out for home.

The Trust’s Parent and Toddler Group normally runs every Thursday morning, during term time, led by Ann Byers and supported by Stephen Douglas. The PATG had continued to thrive. Parents had been encouraged to take ownership of their group and to input into the activities. We are very grateful to the Children’s Foundation who awarded us a grant of £700 to purchase new stock for the group. Unfortunately, Covid 19 and the subsequent lockdown across the country saw the PATG put on hold as we were unable to deliver a

face to face service. The Trust have worked to reintroduce this service but it has taken time as we have needed to work with the council to ensure that the building is Covid compliant before activities could be restarted within the centre. Changes needed to be made both from the aspect of changes within the building and new Risk Assessments undertaken for each activity. Sincere thanks to Ann and Stephen for their hard work and commitment and to NAPI for their ongoing support of this group. (separate report attached)

The Toy Library provision has followed on from the Parent and Toddler Group every Thursday. Susie Leech has continued to lead and deliver the service. By running the Toy Library facility immediately after the Parent and Toddler Group it has allowed not only those families from the PATG to benefit but it has also enabled families accessing FOOTSTEPS nursery to use the facility. Members of the community, who might just want to use the Toy Library, have also been welcome to attend. Membership numbers had steadily increased and the Toy Library had been thriving, so much so that we needed further stock to meet the demand. We are grateful to the Schofield Trust for a grant of £850 to provide new stock. In addition to toys and games the Toy Library also has a stock of story sacks to loan out and sensory equipment for children and young people with additional needs and disabilities. As with the PATG delivering of this service had to put on hold due to Covid 19 and the country entering lock down in response to the global pandemic. This service is currently being re-established in a Covid compliant way in line with all guidelines. The Toy Library, as with all our activities, strives to ensure inclusive working and to welcome children of all abilities to access this service. We have been pleased to support colleagues working with refugee and asylum seeker families by loaning toys out via the worker engaged with the families. (separate report attached) The Trust has continued to meet with officers from Newcastle City Council and FOOTSTEPS Childcare Services, on a regular basis, to undertake joint working group meetings. The group has worked together to improve partnership work and shared use of the building. It had been working to look at the longer term life, and use, of the building and how that could be best be secured in view of the anticipated further financial constraints on the NCC budget expected from 2020. The proposed plan had been that Nunsmoor Centre Trust and FOOTSTEPS Children’s Services would work as partners to take on a lease for the building as it had appeared that the NCC budgets were very stretched and funding to maintain the building, going forward, was uncertain due to financial constraints. However early in 2020 it appeared that the City Council were looking to restructure services and that the Nunsmoor Centre might be able to be funded by the council going forward if services were restructured and budgets used differently.

As the year has unfolded the council have shared their proposed plan for Children and Families Newcastle and the Inner West Locality Profile. This plan is still being developed but it is now clear that the building will stay with the council and that Nunsmoor Centre Trust and FOOTSTEPS Children Services will work with the council as partners within the building. We will continue to have regular joint meetings as we move forward. We are mindful of our ethos and commitment to community provision in response to identified need and will strive to ensure the future of the building as a community facility.

We are extremely grateful to our Ward Councillors who are most supportive of the centre and the Trust’s work. Up until the global pandemic, and the country being placed in to lockdown, the councillors for both Arthur’s Hill and Wingrove Ward held their monthly surgeries at the centre which the Trust help to facilitate each month by providing out of hours keyholding support. The Trust sees these surgeries as essential for community access to the Ward councillors and therefore extremely important. We hope that the monthly surgeries will be able to re commence as soon as is possible.

We are grateful to all the staff for their patience and support as we have worked together in the building and achieve the best use of the facility. Sadly, the global pandemic has meant massive changes whilst the situation persists and lockdown, or restrictions as to how we can work, are in place. The current situation is difficult for us all. We continue to work together to deliver as much as is possible and to support families, children, young people and all those who need our support. At times we are all finding restrictions challenging and we look to support each other and to be mindful that everyone is doing their very best to meet the extra pressures and needs that have arisen due to Covid 19.

We are aware that there will be a long period of recovery needed for the community. We are also aware of an increase in families struggling due to financial constraints which have come about through job losses and furloughing. We also know that there is a marked increase in mental health problems, feelings of isolation and anxiety which are having a negative impact on many people’s well being. It will take some time, and a great deal of partnership work, to help people through the recovery phase. We are aware that some things may not go back to normal for people, that ‘normal’ will have changed and we will need to be flexible and responsive in our way of working going forward.

The Trust has continued to oversee the out of hours bookings for the centre. The Trust helping to facilitate community use of the building was a need

identified through consultation and has been a high priority of work for the Trust. The Nunsmoor Centre is a fantastic facility. Promoting use of the centre has been enormously important. As well as providing good quality services, in normal times, the centre has the capacity for other organisations to make use of the space. Room Hire is necessary as it helps to provide extra activities and resources for the community. We have worked hard to promote the centre to other organisations. Wherever possible we have helped to facilitate organisations in bringing good quality activities and projects to the building, for the community. Sadly, at this time the ‘out of hours’ bookings system is on hold due to restrictions which are in place because of the pandemic. As soon as it is possible we will be restarting the ‘out of hours’ bookings’ service.

To ensure that we can support bookings we have continued to work with self employed key holders who support all of our ‘out of hours’ bookings. Sincere thanks to Rachel Richman, Patsy Gibbons and Sarah Harrington for providing key holding support. We hope that we will be able to increase community usage as we go forward, and as restrictions ease, and are looking to increase our pool of key holders, from the local community, both volunteers and freelance workers.

We are grateful to Steve Padden for his continued work as our Funding Consultant. Steve has a breadth of knowledge regarding funding for the voluntary sector which is both helpful and informative. Steve has enabled us to obtain considerable funding for activities and projects and has worked with us to secure funding to employ a Community Development Worker to broaden and develop our remit. We are extremely grateful to Greggs for the award they have given to the Trust to be able to secure a part time, freelance, Community Development Worker. This will enable us to extend our provision as we go forward. Steve has very kindly mentored our new treasurer, in a voluntary capacity. We are deeply grateful for all his help and support. Following the success of last year’s Summer Weekend Play Project the Trust secured further funding of £3000.00 from the Dockray Trust, through the Community Foundation, to enable the opening of the Play Area at weekends during the summer period this year. This was in response to the feedback from the Summer Weekend Working Project undertaken last year and following the consultation and feedback regarding this project, from the community. This involved retaining two self - employed Play Rangers to man the play area every weekend. As we retained our Play Rangers we hoped that the situation regarding the Covid pandemic would improve and that the project would be able to go ahead as in other years. It became obvious as time went on that this was not going to be the case and we wouldn’t be able to run a ‘drop in’ service.

We carefully set about putting together a Covid compliant plan for the Summer Play Project. This had to be provision which needed to be booked in advance by families and the project was facilitated by having working zones. Sadly the main Play Area had not been signed off after maintenance work and despite best efforts the project had to be run without the area being available. The Rangers were inventive in how they used the outdoor safe space that was available. We are extremely grateful for the careful work that went in to making this project happen despite the challenges. We were able to support families although sadly not in the numbers we would have wanted due to the restrictions.

We were pleased to again be part of ’Newcastle’s Best Summer Ever ‘ and to be awarded £3664 to support the Summer activities This enabled us to provide Activity packs for children and young people and Junk Music packs for families to use at home. These were very well received and enjoyed. Thanks to Louise, Jack and Eoin Metcalfe for their work putting together the Activity Packs and to Gary Bowden and Charlie Phips for the Junk Music packs. Stephen Douglas and Rachel Richman provided a delivery service to families in a safe Covid compliant way which was greatly appreciated.

NBSE also supported the Play Project work and enhanced what we were able to provide. It was rewarding to support families through such a difficult period and to welcome children and young people from diverse backgrounds and cultures. Feedback and evaluation have been positive and will help to shape our forward planning. We were also very pleased to support families with children who had additional needs and disabilities many of whom had found lockdown particularly stressful. Sincere thanks to Patsy Gibbons and Ateea Riaz for their hard work over the summer weekends and to Stephen Douglas who stepped in to cover absence. (Separate report attached.)

Sadly, it was not possible to hold a large Community Diversity Celebration this year due to the restrictions on large gatherings. We were really sad not to be able to hold this annual event. Normally lots of organisations are involved and we provide a vibrant, inclusive event which brings together people of all ages, ethnicities, abilities and backgrounds to celebrate our community. These events are always extremely well attended and we welcome many hundreds of people. We sincerely hope that next summer we will be able to come together again and celebrate our wonderfully diverse community in a most positive way.

Our work facilitating the distribution of the ACCESS Fund has continued. Brian Graham has again taken the role of Grants’ Officer, undertaking a great deal

of work and doing a wonderful job. I have again chaired the Access Fund Panel which has met regularly although we have had to be flexible in our approach to funding over the months of the pandemic. During this time the panel have met virtually. There was a short break in applications being considered as the centre was closed and post was not getting through to the panel but once that problem was overcome applications were again considered. We have offered more support to families during this stressful time and tried to be as available as possible to answer queries and talk through concerns.

Panel members are most conscientious and extremely committed to their role of distributing the fund. We extended the number of Panel numbers further this year. Claire Taylor CEO from FOOTSTEPS Children’s Services, members of the Get Connected Team (on rota) joined the panel and another parent of a young person with additional needs had joined us but the decision was taken to invite a representative from Skills for People to join the team and strengthen our skills base. This was also done to create a larger pool of members to call upon and helps to ensure that enough panel members are available for each meeting. We are grateful for all their input and hard work. It is a huge privilege to be asked to undertake this work. Thanks to all the panel members, staff, organisations, trustees and volunteers who help to make the ACCESS Fund the success it is in helping children and young people, in Newcastle, experience new activities, become more involved in their communities, and reach their full potential.

The annual Access Fund Celebration Event was unable to take place in April 2020 due to the global pandemic. This was very disappointing for everyone. We are hopeful that we may be able to hold a Celebration Event at some point in 2021. We were extremely sad to hear that Smurf the therapy pony had died. Smurf has brought so much pleasure to the children attending our celebration events and will be sadly missed. We continue to be inspired by all the achievements and courage of the children and young people who have been awarded grants and the commitment and dedication of their parents who help their children reach their potential.

The Trust’s contract with the Council runs until March 31st 2021. We are hopeful that despite the constraints on Newcastle City Council’s budget that funding will be available going forward. The ACCESS Fund has been so highly regarded by parents and has produced good outcomes for children and young people which we have, in turn, been able to feed back to Newcastle City Council. The Trust considers this work of high priority. It is a privilege to support children, young people and their families in this way. (separate short report attached)

Our contract with Newcastle City Council to facilitate the ‘Get Connected’ Sports Inclusion work has continued. Funding is guaranteed until March 31st

2021. As yet, we do not know if funding will be available for the next financial year. Stephen Douglas continues to work with us as a freelance Sports Inclusion Worker. Each child or young person with additional needs or disabilities that Stephen works with is supported to access a mainstream sport, or healthy living activity, within their local community. Sadly, his work has been hindered by the lock down and subsequent restrictions in place. This has meant that many venues have been closed and it has been difficult to access others as demand has meant that there are waiting lists.

We look forward to restrictions being eased and venues being more available again. In the interim Stephen works to maintain links with the children and young people and to find innovative ways to keep them engaged. The work is extremely rewarding with positive outcomes for the children and young people that Stephen engages with. It is a real privilege to play our part in the facilitation of this work. (separate report attached).

The Trust has continued to provide English Conversation Classes, in response to community need. We have worked, in partnership, again, with N.E.S.T. accessed through NUSU Go Volunteer, to provide this service. The classes had been well attended until lockdown when classes had to move on-line. N.E.S.T. had provided a Thursday class for adults and a Friday class offering a family learning setting. The feedback has again been extremely positive. It was agreed that N.E.S.T. volunteers would deliver the project in a similar way to their main project run from the University. The difference being that ‘family learning’ would be offered with the N.E.S.T. project offering childcare support rather than a separate creche provision being provided. This new regime was working well until face to face teaching had to be put on hold due to the Covid 19 pandemic. We are hugely grateful to the Community Foundation for a grant from their Covid Fund of £2950 to purchase new laptops and IT equipment to support online learning.

We will continue to work in partnership, with N.E.S.T. to provide this resource for the community. Currently it is being run on-line but we are planning to get back to face to face delivery as soon as the current situation allows in line with government guidance. The ‘family learning’ way of providing English Conversation Classes will be monitored and reviewed at regular intervals. We are grateful to all the volunteers from N.E.S.T., to Bridget Stratford, as Project Officer, to Phil Hay as Volunteer Coordinator and to all of the volunteers. We look forward to working with them in the future to support other activities.

A highlight of this year’s work has been the continuation of the Junk Music Accredited Workshop Courses funded by Youth Music over a two-year period. These have been delivered as three courses of eight-week sessions with each course being open to ten children in the 8 – 12 year-old age range. Groups have included children of mixed abilities. The intention was that about half of the children attending workshops would have additional needs. This has, however, varied during the course of the workshops. We have had to respond to the interest shown by the young people at the enrolment period for each course and to be flexible in our approach.

Sessions have seen musical instruments made from junk and donated materials, with lots of arts and crafts being included. Song writing has been undertaken and the children and young people have performed and recorded their own songs and music. So many skills have been acquired during the courses including team building, concepts around rhythm, listening skills and the improvement of concentration levels (to name but a few) Gary Bowden from Pool of Sound has facilitated the project working with Charlie Philps the Arts Award facilitator. We were also pleased to welcome a volunteer from Newcastle University Students Union ‘Go volunteer’ to support the group. The workshops have been really successful and the feedback extremely positive. The project has been a total joy! Each group of children and young people have gained so much in the way of confidence. They have learnt new skills and built friendships. The joy on their faces each week has said it all!. Thank you to Youth Music for funding the project and to Gary and Charlie for all their hard work and commitment to the project. Unfortunately, when the country went in to lock-down we were no longer able to offer face to face delivery. The decision was taken to provide videos of ‘mini builds’ through our Facebook pages and via U tube. These ’mini build’ videos have had thousands of views and kept a link to young people. Sadly, we are now at the end of this project and have just submitted the evaluation. It is likely that we will apply for funding to develop a longer term project next year, with a group of young people building on the Junk Music experience and branching into other exciting areas of music.

We were fortunate to be awarded funding from Your Homes Newcastle of £7332 to provide a Dementia friendly project ‘Memories through Music’ This group would be run as six weekly sessions providing a warm, welcoming, relaxed and friendly environment where attendees would meet make simple instruments, enjoy music from years gone by which would evoke memories. Refreshments would also be ‘old fashioned’ recipes that attendees might remember making, or their mums making when they were young. Memory

Page 13: nunsmoorcentretrust.files.wordpress.com  · Web viewNBSE also supported the Play Project work and enhanced what we were able to provide. It was rewarding to support families through

books would be put together for each participant to capture memories for them to keep.

This project is currently on hold, with the agreement of funders, due to the pandemic and the vulnerability of the participants. Safety has had to be the priority and we look forward to restarting this project once the situation regarding the pandemic has resolved to the point that it is felt safe to resume face to face working with this vulnerable group. Sincere thanks to Gary Bowden, Charlie Philps and Rachel Richman for their work with this project.

We were delighted to be awarded a two year grant from the Greggs Foundation to employ a part time Community Development Worker. This for us was hugely exciting. The process of advertising and interviewing for the post was delayed due to Covid 19 but has now been successfully undertaken. We are delighted to welcome Katy Shipman to our team and look forward to all Katy will bring to our work. It has been quite a different start for her with the challenging times we are coping with. Her early months will be partly taken up helping with recovery from the pandemic but then moving forward we hope to deliver new areas of work in response to need identified through consultation.

Despite the enormous challenges of the past year much has been achieved. Good partnership working appears to be the key to future development. We are most grateful to all the organisations who have worked with us during the past year. We look forward to future working with all of the organisations we have worked with during this period. Special thanks to FOOTSTEPS nursery who are also based within the Nunsmoor Centre and who have been generous with their support of our work.

We are extremely grateful for all the funders who have supported our work over the past year. These include The Joicey Trust, The Hadrian Trust, Sir James Knott Trust, FOGO through the Community Foundation, all of whom have awarded funding for core costs which has helped us enormously. We are also grateful for a discretionary grant from Newcastle City Council in response to the Covid 19 pandemic.

Huge thanks must go to all of the centre staff – the Business Support team, the caretaker, and the Intensive Family Support Team. We are extremely grateful to them for their support, encouragement and help during the past year.

The Trust extends a most sincere thank you to the families, residents and to the diverse range of centre users who help to shape our work and support us with enthusiasm. We would welcome enquiries from anyone interested in

Page 14: nunsmoorcentretrust.files.wordpress.com  · Web viewNBSE also supported the Play Project work and enhanced what we were able to provide. It was rewarding to support families through

joining the Board as a trustee, or anyone who would be interested in volunteering with the Trust.

As Chairperson can I take this opportunity to add a very personal, heartfelt, ‘thank you’ to all the trustees and volunteers who have worked extremely hard during the past year. They have all given a huge amount of their time and commitment to the work of the Trust, for the benefit of the community which we serve. One of our trustees, MD Riaz Hague, is standing down due to other commitments. I thank him most sincerely for all of his input to the work of the Trust and wish him well in the future. The Trust is delighted to have welcomed new trustee Hannah Morrow. It has been my privilege to work with all of the trustees and volunteers and I am deeply grateful to them for the support they have afforded me during what has been a hugely challenging and difficult year for everyone.

I end this report by returning to where I began with another quote from -‘The boy, the mole, the fox and the horse’ by Charlie Mackesy

“What do we do when our hearts hurt?” asked the boy “We wrap them with friendship, shared tears and time, till they wake hopeful and happy again”

My wish for you all is for a happier year ahead which we approach together full of hope.
