With a continued contract secured through the NEPO portal with Durham County Council Learning Disability and Mental Health Teams our paid day care service numbers have remained at 26 clients with 72 visits per week. We continue to accommodate non-paying referred clients (ie those who do not have a budget to pay for day service care) as well, with one currently attending one occasion a week. We have provided practical, meaningful activities in horticulture, art, craft, catering, woodwork and conservation, alongside social interaction, inclusion and purpose, for local disadvantaged people. The plant centre worked well again this year, with plenty of plant sales, which the service users assisted with selling, taking monies and carrying to customers cars. We attended two large plant fairs as well. The visiting public used the woodland walkway, which proved popular, We had secured multiple pots of funding to rebuild and reopen the tea rooms (Rainforest Cafe) which we did, along with creating a new demonstration garden (Garden of Reflection) for the public to use whilst taking their refreshments. It attracted a lot of press attention.
We continue to forge links with other local organisations. As well as all of the social service and health teams within Durham (MAIN, Durham, Mental Health and Learning Disability Teams, CAMHS, Pathways, Goals, Ebony, Esh Winn Hall and Sherbourne House). We have close ties with the City of Durham Freeman, the Rotary Club of Durham, the Shakespeare Temperance Trust, Darlington Building Society and the County Durham Community Foundation. We have strengthened our links with Ushaw College and had traded visits between our clients and their volunteers. Asda and the ESB International West Durham Windfarm Community and the West Durham Community Support Team have been our new connections. We have worked a lot with the Durham Wildlife Trust on the river that flows through the site and co-compiled a large funding bid with them for its upkeep. We have also linked up with their water vole project officer monitoring mink activity on the river.
