Strive Fleetwood has received 3-year funding from FCMS (Social Enterprise Community Health Care service https://www.fcms-nw.co.uk) to refurbish and re-open a former children’s centre within the school grounds of Flakefleet Primary School in Fleetwood Lancashire. Strive community hub and coffee shop opened in February 2024. We are a not-for-profit community interest company, 2 directors including the Head Teacher of Flakefleet Primary and a Local Fleetwood GP. More than just a coffee shop, its primary purpose is to improve the health and wellbeing of an area challenged with high indices of multiple deprivation. Our facility includes additional indoor community rooms and outdoor space to deliver a variety of community wrap around services. Activities at present include adult learning courses, National Citizenship information sessions, parenting classes, coaching, job fairs, exercise sessions NHS winter vaccinations, Housing advice services and craft and art clubs. We also host coffee mornings for older. We have employed a centre manager to run both the coffee shop and co ordinate our community offerings and projects. Our community project and social value impact during this year include the following: Our Aims: 1. Promote Physical Activity: Encourage children to stay active during the summer holidays by using school facilities 2. Community Cohesion: Increase community engagement by introducing more residents to Strive's offerings. 3. Bringing Families Together: Create a safe, cost-free environment for families to enjoy joint activities. 4. Co-Production: Involve local children in designing family activities. 5. Upskilling: Collaborate with volunteers to enhance their employability through training. 6. Raise Wellbeing: Improve wellbeing for both children and adults through themed workshops. Our projects : Project 1 Volunteer Training: Local volunteers have been trained as baristas, gaining food hygiene certificates and valuable job skills. Programmes like nutritional workshops helped reinforce skills and wellbeing Strive Centre Manager Steve Newsham launched a barista training programme to upskill local community members, addressing Fleetwood’s high deprivation levels. The programme recruited volunteers, including Flakefleet school parents and community members, with motivations ranging from skill-building to confidence growth. Volunteers received training, food hygiene certification, and meal vouchers while working at Strive’s coffee shop during the Summer Family Club. Upon completion, they gained job references and potential zero-hour contracts, enhancing their employability and confidence while contributing to community wellbeing. Project 2: Children's Fitness and Wellbeing – Designed through consultation with local children, workshops focused on goal setting, mindfulness, and healthy lifestyles. Sessions combined play- based learning and joint activities with adults, strengthening family bonds and supporting individual wellbeing. Project 3: Family Bootcamp – Weekly bootcamps led by PM Personal Fitness Training encouraged family bonding through physical fitness. Sessions included circuits, music, and kid-vs-adult challenges, promoting active routines. Project 4: Adult Wellbeing and Development – Nutrition and wellbeing workshops from Ultimate Health aligned with children's themes, offering practical skills in healthy eating. Joint activities fostered accountability and family engagement. For the above projects, we commissioned a social value impact report competed by Kelly Mercer from Coach and Shine and we have a full report which is available on request > In summary our value and impact from the above is as follows £ Raising wellbeing and improving health - £268K of social value Upskilling - £33K of social value Community Cohesion - £21k of social value Bringing families together – 20 Joint workshops for children and families Promoting physical activities – 176 children engaged in at least 1 sports activity Co- Production – 180 children took part in focus groups to co-produce activities they wanted to see Other impacts: - 5 people gained employment through a job fair which we hosted - Community groups raised £300 for Trinity Hospice through a prize bingo event - Children living with Autism attend our Centre every month to gain confidence, skills and independence - Our weekly women’s aid support group (Domestic Violence) meets weekly, attended by an average of 5 customers each week - 550 hours of olunteering have been completed this year - 800 Free children’s breakfast have been provided (A daily magic breakfast to ensure children have eaten before they attend school) - Flakefest musical festival 2024 – We secured £8k from the Lancashire sport and culture fund and raised a further £8k through crowd funding to deliver a festival which was attended by 1250 people in the local area. School children – 180 children attended focus group to co-produce activities they wanted to see. As a result, we attracted £7k funding to provide a summer family club for parents and children and we have completed a full impact assessment from this project. Customers – We commissioned a company called Coach and Shine to invite customers to weekly sessions to determine what they would like our delivery offer to be. We ran these sessions every Friday for 12 weeks. We then attracted community funding to deliver a variety of sessions including nutrition, reiki, personal development, learning Spanish, alternative therapies, debating classes, holistic treatments Customers – We have a friend of Srive group who meet with our centre manager who also suggest ongoing activities and ways they can become more involved. Customers we have engaged with have hosted tabletalk groups, carried out decorating, built storage facilities,erected flat pack furniture and taken a lead on Christmas activities including letters to Santa Customers – Our food and beverages offer have been steered by customer feedback to our direct questions about what meals they would like to see provided. Community groups – We have a strong social media presence and have engaged with community chat groups with large followings to engage with us and get involved. As a result, we have been able to deliver bonkers bingo sessions and provide free nappies and sanitary products for families attending the centre. Two specific groups include Larkholme Chat and the Chill lounge
