ToMICS CIC primary stakeholders are our service users, clients including those that utilise our social media groups i.e. Facebook and WhatsApp offering free advice and information relating to real life in the UK, how best to integrate different communities and health and social care information or activities which enhance mental and physical well-being. We started off by reviewing our planned working ways and the different experience the x3 directors bring to ToMICS and its clients. We improved a lot through undertaking continuing professional development (CPD) and training such as Equality & Diversity, Understanding Mental Health, Safeguarding level 3 and 4; ensuring all our directors are DBS checked and have the expertise required to deliver our services. We also developed policies in line with the work we carry out and clients that we will be assisting and supporting. The progress and achievements so far will help us to in better position to further develop ToMICS services and/or obtaining future funding. ToMICS directors have given a total of at least x662hrs to our clients including those who make general enquiries. Our secure online record keeping is in line with ICO data protection recommendations and because some of our services were delivered virtually and nationally, this meant we were able to positively impact the environment by reducing carbon footprint significantly. Also, as our staff can work remotely there were significantly less journeys made during this period. Thus less printing and scanning means less energy used. This saved at least 3,000 miles of car emissions being put into the environment. We learnt a great deal during this year and, through diversification and utilising limited resources we have managed to assist clients still and play a positive role in our communities. We increased CPD and have a lot of self-reflection to keep ToMICS we now believe that we have the reputation of knowledge staff to help more clients and develop better working relationships with our stakeholders and create more sustainability within the third sector. In the last 12 months we have conducted face to face or online workshops relating: - Finding and/or registering with a GP or dentist. Assistance and support were for either those completely new with registering with either or moving from one service to another. For GP services access, we conducted x12 monthly, virtual sessions via Zoom or MS Teams and x4 face to face sessions. Each virtual session had an average of x43 participants per session lasting 1.5-2hrs). We find face to face sessions do end being longer as we offer a 1:1 drop in after where some individuals can stay behind for a private consultation, chat or socialising and these had an average of x11 participants per session. Access to dental services we conducted x3 quarterly virtual sessions and x1 face to face with an average of 6 participants per session. We have assisted and supported x6 clients to find housing after moving to the local area without having secured accommodation or a promise of accommodation having fallen through. One of the clients was a single mother of x2 who had moved from midlands to Greater Manchester following domestic violence. We ensured that they had emergency accommodation and made appropriate referrals to the local housing and DV teams for specialised support. ToMICS arranged a x3 meet and greet for local people to integrate with each other and those new to the area to feel welcomed while learning or gaining understanding of different culture. This was done as a ‘bring and share’ event of different cuisines. One was at Our Lady of Dolours RC church in Salford for multi-cultural faiths in September 2023; the other at Atlantic House in Manchester City centre in March 2024 and the last one in July 2024 was at Drinkwater Park in Salford. There was an attendance of about x80, x45 and x62 respectively.
ToMICS utilises various social media groups specifically for not for profits, local companies and individuals to reach our target audience. We consult with our clients on a regular basis, often monthly, sometimes daily. We act on any feedback very quickly as we pride ourselves on being responsive. Our 1:1 session are completely client-initiated and from the feedback we have received from client base, they would be happy to pay for this service and we intend on developing paid services around this such as interview preparation, support and assistance with forms completion . They tell us what they need or lack confidence in, and we develop a training schedule to deliver that. We also offer a mentoring service in which clients can discuss anything that is bothering them, and we will explore options together and devise a plan of action. We play a vital role on the social media, in particular utilising existing Facebook groups where we come into contact or clients might seek to our services, offering free advice across the country. It is easy for us to spend up to 2-3hrs a day (weekdays only) responding to queries in the group either publicly or via messenger and WhatsApp group. A few have shown interest to become paying clients by offering them 1:1 service. The interactions in the WhatsApp group have been particularly influential in shaping ToMICS this year and we have adapted our services to more specifically meet the requirements of not-for-profit organisations and have a website under development to assist clients and stakeholders.
