West End Impact
(UK, 1153736) Browse events
YTD Raised: £0.00
(UK, 1153736) West End Impact was formed in 2002 with a Vision of creating a vibrant hub for Christian community work. Our Mission is to help people, bring hope and change lives. Our Faith inspires our work but support is offered regardless of faith or background. Come visit us - the kettle is always on. Where we areThe West End of Morecambe is ranked amongst the 10% most deprived areas in England - low income, poor health, low educational attainment, poor housing and homelessness, high levels of crime, problems such as drug use and anti-social behaviour. There is relatively low male and female life expectancy and high levels of child and working age. We operate from our building in the West End with a small staff team and 40+ volunteers. Our core service and gateway to WEI support is “drop-ins”, where staff offer Support, Advice and Guidance Sessions - assistance ranges from food parcels, gas and electricity top ups, information and referrals to housing and benefits advice, help with external appointments and emotional support. We support through crises - we then start to help repair the causes and enable people to move on.Other Impact projects are vital for this “next step” as they move on from crisis - including mental health (Living Life to the Full), alcohol support (Chapter 12) and a range of volunteering opportunities (Innovate and Renovate). Making a Difference In the last 12 months (2014-15) WEI supported 416 individuals at its centre and provided 5,326 items of help mostly via drop ins (e.g. food parcels, gas top ups, benefits advice, emotional support). Most beneficiaries have multiple needs – we summarise these as jobless, homeless and hopeless - without job, home or hope – with issues such as depression, low self-esteem and addiction.In 2014-15: o 55+ people received intense support for depression & anxiety o 100+ interventions helped find a home or keep tenancy o 34 people and families could switch their lights on and heat their home o 45 people received or kept their benefits following advice, phone calls, computer access, letters, appointments and appeals o Nearly 400 food parcels were given to people when they had absolutely nothing o over 3,500 meals were served to vulnerable adults and families (including Christmas Dinner for 75 people) o 6 vulnerable adults went to crucial appointments because staff went with themo 2 people who have struggled with addiction, 2 people with extremely low self-esteem and 1 student who struggled through school are now in employment through WEI’s Volunteer Programme o 10 people said that without WEI they would probably not still be alive WEI saw a near 40% increase in demand compared to the previous 12 months. This upward trend is expected to continue, as other services have closed and benefits, housing and mental health services are more difficult to access.
