projects and partnerships
After Research and Development work it was decided that the first projects were to be an older peoples weekly lunchclub and an after school drop in for young people. Followed by other projects.
Lunch Club. Working in partnership with Age Concern. Funding was sought and received from Help the Aged , a staff member was appointed (3 hours per week) and the lunchclub began in June 2007. This is a very popular group, with 40 members regularly attending. The cafe provide a low cost meal which is served by staff & volunteers. Wherever possible the lunch is followed by another activity (some have proven to be more popular than others) such as Dancing, Games, Seated Exercise and Advice sessions.
Older Peoples Forum. Working in partnership with Bassetlaw Elderly Action Network. We have received some funding and held an advice day in October. The feedback from this day has been promising and we are arranging the first meeting for those interested in serving on a Forum in January.
Baby & Toddlers Group. Working with the Church. A Baby & Toddler Group has been running from the Church for a number of years twice a month. Funding was sought and received to expand this service. A member of staff (8 hours per week) has been appointed and the group started meeting twice a week.
As well as organising groups and events we are keen to provide facilities at a reasonable cost to community groups and charities (and at a higher cost to businesses as an income stream)
As part of this we have built up good relationships with a number of groups who provide services to the wider community.
