Our second year of operation has been one of trying out new services, learning and growth. Here is a snapshot of two of the new projects we delivered. Menopause Awareness This year saw a significant expansion in our offer around menopause awareness, funded in a variety of ways including an Awards for All grant, a public sector contract in partnership with Mind in GM as well as services directly purchased by a variety of employers. We also undertook a joint project with Lingua GM developing a Train the Trainer programme to support a multicultural menopause resource to be delivered by staff and employees working with refugees and asylum seekers across Greater Manchester. Services delivered included Workplace Menopause Awareness training Community Menopause Awareness workshops Menopause Champions course Managers Menopause courses Support to develop menopause policies Following the training 70 percent of attendees agreed that they were more confident to speak about menopause with family, friends and colleagues. 'Going on the menopause, champions training for me just pushed me a little bit more into that next gear, to say 'hang on a minute, we need to make sure that our whole team has access to this kind of training, to some kind of information'. This isn’t just about women. It affects everybody around them' quote from participant. An independent evaluation of our 'It's not just hot flushes' project highlighted the following impacts. The Project Addressed a knowledge, awareness and training gap within communities in a range of significant ways, including facilitating access to menopause support. Enhanced peer group support networks through bespoke training sessions that were relevant to particular localities/communities, addressing specific issues in cultural contexts. Delivered workplace training that led to employees becoming menopause champions in their workplace. Delivered sessions that led to the formation of specific menopause workplace policies. Enabled men to participate in menopause workplace training, with the added benefit of enabling conversations outside of the workplace. Healthy Schools Project Funded through Salford CVS and working in partnership with The Friars Primary School, we delivered a programme of support for teachers and children at the school. Over the year this included: Four 10 week courses of football and wellbeing sessions for over 40 children from years 5 and 6. A programme of story time yoga for 30 early years children. A range of psychoeducation sessions for staff from the school. The delivery of a Youth Connect 5 in transit course for 10 children from year six. 'Over the weeks there was a noticeable improvement in the way the children supported each other' Observation from Football sessions An independent evaluation of the Youth Connect 5 sessions we delivered highlighted the following impacts. The children Learned about basic mental health concepts and strategies for enhancing their mental wellbeing, and became able to articulate and discuss these. Learned how to identify and strengthen peer support systems and gained the ability to engage in collective positive reinforcement with their classmates. Learned to reflect on mental health states as portrayed within audio-visual media. Reported higher well-being scores between sessions as well as at the end of the course. Stirling Children’s Wellbeing Scale. Engaged their parents in mental wellbeing exercises via homework. In total we have delivered services to 652 different people. Workshops and training have included Teaching yoga, mindfulness, and gentle exercises to people living with Multiple Sclerosis and members of Salford Loaves and Fishes. In partnership with Manchester Mind and Stockport Mind, delivering a range of training to employees and managers within private sector businesses and networks. Training delivered has included Mental Health Awareness, Stress Management, Effective Wellbeing Conversations, Introduction to CBT, Suicide Awareness and Menopause Awareness, Connect 5, Connect 5 Train the Trainer and Building Better Sleep Habits. Working in Partnership with Mill Research, we were also successful in tendering for the delivery of the Bolton Council, Bolton Mental Health Training Audit Thank you to the following organisations who have supported our work with grants and investments. Salford CVS GMCVO GM Social Investment Awards For All GM Integrated Care Partnership Salix Homes Added and Social Value 76 percent of our income has been self-generated by trading. This self-traded income supports our work in communities and adds value to any grants we successfully apply for. In addition, using funding from traded income, we have delivered a series of Yoga and Wellbeing sessions at Salford Loaves and Fishes and a Yoga and Wellbeing get together for people with MS. Wherever possible, we use environmentally friendly alternatives for equipment and stationery. We use public transport and cycle where possible and use local VCSE venues and local shops and businesses for supplies where possible. Our directors give volunteer time with local VCSE organisations on a regular basis.
In this year we have had conversations with a wide variety of stakeholders. Our stakeholders include: Private sector employers across the Northwest Greater Manchester Integrated Care Partnership VCSE organisations across Greater Manchester, mainly Salford, Manchester, Bolton and Bury. Stockport Mind, Tameside Oldham and Glossop Mind, Manchester Mind Members of the community across Salford People living with MS across Greater Manchester Public sector agencies across Greater Manchester Members of the community in Lower Broughton and Blackfriars, Salford. We have grown our mailing list from 152 to 503 contacts that we regularly consult through email and surveys. In addition to this we have held two focus groups in the areas of Menopause to consult on the design and growth of our services. The majority of the courses and activities we deliver in the community are co-produced with the people who commission or will attend them.
