The Pavilion Hub CIC continued to trade as both a cafe (The Hideaway cafe) and also a hireable venue for the community throughout this financial year. The Hideaway cafe This community cafe provided a space for the community to meet and connect with each other with the ultimate aim of supporting the young people of Guildford through sales of products and hire of the venue. The cafe also provides the wider community with a safe space to retreat, connect and create: A variety of community groups meet in the cafe for friendship, support and wellbeing: NCT and other mum’s groups; Creative groups; WI book group and Men’s Breakfast. We were a registered ‘Safe Space’ as part of the national scheme where anyone can ask for help if they need it. Charities can hire the space for a reduced price and use it for meetings and events. We also promote local artists (mainly start-up) with their own exhibition and preview event. Youth Training In the last 12 months we have worked with 13 young people who needed support to gain confidence in themselves and their skills through our 12 week Traineeship program. We also supported a further 11 through volunteering placements. These young people improved their CVs, gained transferable skills in communication and work ethics, and felt more confident as a result of their time at The Hideaway. Clare (name changed) worked as part of the cafe team for 12 months: Clare At her trial shift and interview for the role, Claire was clearly nervous and that showed itself in her speaking almost non-stop. It was mentioned that we are a dog-friendly cafe and Claire shared that she is terrified of dogs. She also told us, in a busy cafe, that she is very sensitive to sounds and lots of noise can distract and upset her. Rather a wobbly start! Claire settled into the practical work incredibly well and is now very chatty and friendly to staff and customers alike. Claire is keen to take on new challenges and has the confidence to ask for help when needed, knowing that she is part of a team. Through her weekly mentor time and support from the cafe staff and volunteers, Claire was made to feel relaxed and at home, and is making great strides in overcoming her fear of dogs when they enter the cafe. It is very rare to see Claire without an enormous smile on her face. She shared recently that one thing she likes about herself is that she works hard, and whatever other challenges she faces, that cannot be denied. It comes from a very positive attitude. Indeed one Matrix staff member witnessed Claire leaving work one afternoon with her trademark big grin, shouting “Loving life!” “I’m loving it!” Youth cafe After-school Matrix (our asset-locked charity) use the space to run a Youth cafe, providing young people with a safe space to meet and make friends and find support for their mental health. In the last 12 months, 150 young people were supported through the Youth Hideaway, with space to relax and let off steam, a chance to speak to a youth worker about their worries and opportunities to learn new skills. Philip and Eugene (names changed) were 2 young people who benefitted from the Youth Hideaway: Philip On Philip’s first visit to Youth Hideaway, he came along with his allocated youth worker from Surrey County Council (child protection team). Initially Philip found it hard to engage in conversation and would only give one word answers, he was very quiet and looked really shy. On this particular day he was the only young person that had arrived so far and his council youth worker said that his hope for Philip was for him to make some friends and become more confident. At Youth Hideaway the team welcomed him and made a point of speaking directly to Philip and not his youth worker. Philip eventually went to play on the Playstation with his youth worker. As more young people began to arrive, the team introduced him to them and suggested they may like to play a game together. The other lads kept it light but showed willing for when he’d finished his current game. The council youth worker explained that Philip had not played before and that this was his first time playing on a Playstation. One of the other boys was the first to play against him, he was a regular at Youth Hideaway and was very good at the game they were playing. The council youth worker gradually moved out of the way and let them continue to play by themselves. There were smiles and the game ended with Philip winning! The team made a bit of a thing of it and had some good banter with the other boys who had been super confident. There were smiles all round and as Philip was leaving the session he was smiling and said he’d really like to come back and is looking forward to the following week. Artem Artem is Ukrainian and has not been living here all his life, only recently coming to the UK a couple of years ago. When he started coming to Youth Hideaway he was shy and reserved but arrived with some school friends for the workshop Wednesday doing pyrography. We created a welcoming space for Artem to help him feel comfortable and at ease, providing him with a free milkshake for his first visit. This workshop Wednesday was very exciting and busy! Artem was especially eager to try Pyrography. We made sure to make Artem and his friends feel important and comfortable by finding a space for them to participate. We made sure to welcome the family when they arrived to collect Artem, introducing them to the youth workers and going into detail about what the Youth Hideaway provides. Artem felt so welcomed and thoroughly enjoyed the workshop, taking the work he made home with him. The following week, during the Easter holidays, Artem felt confident enough to come back on his own. Initially, he played with the youth workers and made a new friend during the club sessions where they began playing games together, teaching one another new tricks and assisting each other when help was needed. Artem’s mum came back and said thank you, and kindly gifted the youth workers cadbury creme eggs! Young people tell us that Youth Hideaway is a great place to: “talk about your worries and your feelings” and “hang out and meet friends and chill”. 40% said that it had helped reduce their loneliness or social isolation.
The Pavilion Hub only has one Member, The Matrix Trust. Some of the CIC Directors are also Trustees for Matrix and have been consulted at the monthly Board meetings, with more complex issues being tabled at Matrix Trustee Board meetings for consultation. As a community business, we also consider the following to be stakeholders: Young people Our Youth Steering Group meet to input into how we can improve the Youth Cafe (amongst other projects) and are consulted on any potential changes. Young Employees, Trainees and Work Placement Students at The Hideaway Cafe all have the chance to give feedback on their experience when they finish their time at The Hideaway Cafe. This is used to improve future experiences. One young person told us: “I felt empowered to talk to management to change things and give my ideas.” Community No specific consultation has taken place with the community. However, the Cafe Manager regularly talks with customers, community groups and hirers to get feedback and discuss their experience. At its Board Meeting of 18th September 2024 the Matrix Trust decided that it was no longer able to financially support the CIC with effect from 31st October 2024. The Directors of the CIC having fully considered this decision, the economic landscape, future financial forecasts and alternative sources of funding concluded that the business was no longer a going concern and resolved to cease trading with effect from 18th October 2024. The Matrix Trust agreed to ensure that all the CIC's (non-Matrix) liabilities not covered by CIC's cash balances would be settled.
