(£50 funding from us to run a project – in return of £50 back + 20% donation towards)

Used by: Local Residents & other charities

  • Lots of people on benefits are now interested to organise an event and make some money and donate towards hall. Everyone feels a part of the hall now. Property Manager (based on Project 16) goes through their project and allowed 13 projects to run.

We are expecting to achieve:

– Emotional resilience, strength and mindfulness

– Connection to others within the community

– A sense of security, trust and being included

– Mobility and physical activity

– Sense of purpose/ being valued through volunteering, helping others or paid work

– Support for people who are in distress

– Access to learning opportunities/ the development of new skills and knowledge

– In a nutshell, a place that Local Residents feel Home

– We want them to come to us and explain their requirements so that we can try our best to do something relevant for them

– We also understand that we may not be able to achieve everything but we can get some other charities to get involved that may be able to deliver the projects that they are looking for i.e. working with youth or care home. We have had contact with Charities who would like to deliver their projects in our hall, should we help them with hall and technical support which we will happily deliver.

  

Out of 34 Projects, we have now identified needs for the below Projects which are adored by Local Residents. They feel comfortable and treat Balgrayhill Hall as their “Home”.

 

We will constantly keep an eye and be OPEN MINDED to vary projects as required as Local Residents have very good relation with our Property Manager where they feel comfortable to explain their expectations and needs. We have learnt from them, instead of wasting resources to something that we wish them to like, rather it is better to ask them what they want and surprisingly, their demand is viable and very easy to please.
