Kate Mansfield3 years ago June UpdateOur Family Bike Club has been successfully running on Fridays after school. We have a very mixed group that attends in terms of age, demographics and gender and we are delighted that we have such a big turnout each week. We have a mixture of children that bring their own bikes or scooters and just want the freedom to ride, as well as those that borrow our school bikes or scooters. All are welcome! On average, 2 children are helped to ride each week and within the space of an hour go from not being able to control a pedal bike to riding off into the sunset!As a parent commented, “It is such a relief to have somewhere safe for them to ride.” Many parents have commented on anti-social behaviour in parks meaning they don’t feel safe to let their children ride off on bikes or scooters, however being in the controlled environment of the school playground alleviates these concerns.We are delighted to have planned a Community Cycle on the Greenway on Saturday 29th June 2024. The more the merrier so do come along! Details on the flyer attached.Initial ProposalIn the past we have run a 'Family Bike Club' after school for our children and their family members to take part in. Sadly due to cuts in funding we have not been able to run this due to not having adequate budget to repair/maintain/replace the bikes or to pay school staff overtime to run this. This club is always fully inclusive of children of all ages and abilities, including those with special educational needs. Having a session within the school playground at the end of the day not only makes it easy for parents to bring their children along, but also gives them a safe space for their children to be active and have fun and to learn to ride a bike. We have balance bikes and pedal bikes and a few trikes for those that need them.By running this as a 'Family Club' all children are accompanied by a parent/carer who we also encourage to ride / learn to ride if they would like to do so.To link in with this, we also have a member of school staff who is trained to offer 'Bikeability; training to support children to both learn to ride bikes and then to ride safely on the roads. When able to be offered (again budget allowing), this does encourage children (and their families!) to both get active and to use sustainable modes of travel to and from school. We have offered this training during this academic year after successfully applying for funding, and have trained over 100 children to date. This year we came 5th in the UK in the Sustrans Big Walk and Wheel competition for the number of children scooting or cycling to school. Sadly the funding is not available again for next academic year, so we are unsure if we will be able to continue to afford to offer this training.We would also be interested in offering guided weekend rides to appeal to any working parents who may struggle to come along with their child/ren earlier in the day. We usually run a 'Family Bike Ride and Picnic' during our Sports Week in the summer term, and even during the school day this is very popular and encourages parents to get out with their children and realise some of the cycle-friendly routes we have available locally.

Helen Crossley3 years ago St Mary's Allotment has been growing food for families locally since 1906. Our project aims to maintain this history of gardening with the restoration of our cabin and community areas. We will improve the environment sustainably, encourage healthy activity for all, foster social inclusion and sharing of knowledge and produce, ensure safety as well as honouring treasured memories. Our 3 local schools and 2 elderly residences, food banks and community kitchens will all benefit from the updating of this fabulous community asset. Whilst the biodiversity of wildlife and soil will be nurtured for years to come.See below for an update

Liban Farah3 years ago SCK Fitness Team will run three fitness and martial arts classes per week from the new Queen's Road West Community Centre in the heart of Plaistow, for free. Our sessions will not be limited to Plaistow residents but the priority will be given to local residents if classes are oversubscribed. Tuesdays - 7pm to 8pm - Mixed Martial Arts (Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, Boxing, Grappling) Thursdays - 7pm to 8pm - Mixed Martial Arts (Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, Boxing, Grappling) Fridays - 7pm to 8pm - Boxing & HIIT Training (Exclusive to Women 16+) *This timetable may be subject to minor changes and is not final. We will run these sessions for 46 weeks in 2024. Taking 6 weeks of breaks for busy periods for the public such as New Years, Christmas, the two middle weeks of summer (where a lot of families are abroad), etc.

Syed Haque3 years ago The purpose of our project is to address the pressing issue of men's mental health by providing accessible, stigma-free, and evidence-based support through a series of mental health sessions. Our initiative seeks to: Raise Awareness: Increase awareness about the unique challenges that men face in seeking help for mental health issues. Reduce Stigma: Challenge and reduce the stigma associated with men's mental health struggles, encouraging open conversations and help-seeking behaviours. Provide Support: Offer a safe and supportive environment where men can share their experiences and learn practical strategies to manage their mental health effectively. Promote Resilience: Equip men with the skills and resources needed to build resilience, manage stress, and lead healthier lives. In summary, a project focused on mental health can positively impact the local area by improving the well-being of residents, reducing social problems, enhancing the workforce, strengthening community ties, reducing healthcare costs, and making the area more attractive for investment and tourism. These combined effects contribute to the overall growth and development of the local area, making it a better place to live.

Syed Haque3 years ago The project is aimed at improving children's and families’ well-being through therapeutic learning of Artistic Embroidery. The session is aimed at teaching a new skill also opening up opportunities for people to socialize and talk. Combats isolation and encourages wellness. With the cost of living in mind, this will also be an opportunity to donate pre-loved existing items and make new things like bags out of old jeans. Recycling and up-cycling items. Art therapy has been a well identified way to help encourage wellness and support creativity. The project is aimed at 9+ children and adults of all ages. Qualified teachers will run the sessions.

Rhiain Aylward3 years ago I would like to install a custom made library dedicated to children's books. The library will be built to accommodate books in a range of different sizes to be inclusive for children of all ages. The 'take a book, leave a book' ethos of Little Free Libraries is incredibly important to help teach children the importance of sharing, alongside making reading more accessible during this cost of living crisis. Reading is a pleasure for all ages and we would love to provide more children with access to books. This will complement the existing library we have for adult books.

Marian Spiers3 years ago To run two Youth Sports Sessions a week, for young people, aged 13-19 years from a refugee seeking and migrant background .To provide football, volleyball, cricket, basketball, badminton, table tennis and pool to around 500 young people over a 9 month period.To support young people to feel less isolated and more physically and mentally healthier.Funding to cover cost of renting sports centre, 2 staff per session and healthy snacks for each session.Watch the video below to see how the project is getting on.

Syed Haque3 years ago 1. (Community Safety) we would like to request grant to get pay for First Aid for all our staff and parents. We are working with the community who have under 5's children and it is important to have this training, as it will benefit many families to deal with injuries and at times major accidents. Our staff and community will be knowledgeable and equipped with the skills and tools to deal with emergencies for the children. This will ensure the safety and wellbeing of the children. This also empowers our parents and staff when they are dealing with injuries as they feel reassured knowing how to deal with these kind of situation. Our staff are running play sessions and that will ensure that they are skilled and feel assured that they will be able to deal with accidents/incidents where arises. 2. (Environment and public spaces) we would also like to request a grant for a water dispenser on the ground floor where the children centre is situated. Currently we have no easy process for the community to access water. Parent have to request when required. We have a daily traffic flow of families through our door, as we are an early help Children centre where our community receive support for Domestic violence, early interventions, ESOL classes, Child health clinics, prenatal midwifery surgery, SEND parenting, young parents and children access the children centre from 8:30 to 4:15 Monday to Friday. At times pregnant mothers attend Children centre to see Midwife who require access to water and this can only be reached through staff members. We are a very busy Children centre especially at the reception area as parents waiting for variety of supports and services. So parents have to wait for staff members to bring the water for them. A water dispenser will ensure that the community can access water whenever they want without the need to ask a staff member to bring it from the kitchen.3. (Health and Wellbeing) ZEN garden - a calming effect garden for parents and children to support their mental wellbeing, physical and emotional development. In Newham we have poor and vulnerable families that have no access to outdoor space with play opportunities so the Zen Garden would be amazing for the children's learning and development.4.(Health and Wellbeing) We would like to get grant to buy Sensory equipment’s for both indoor and outdoor like lights, sensory water fountain flow and large garden musical cause and effect resources. We are getting a high number of families that are coming with children with additional needs. Newham has a long waiting list for children to see CDT, OH and SLT. In the interim, families attend the children's centre to attend parenting courses and EPATS sessions whilst children are in the Crèche. These equipment’s can ensure that the children are getting the right intervention with their play as these resources gets their interest up and engage. Children with additional needs require more support in settling into crèche so these sensory resources will ensure that they settle quicker and have their needs met. This will ensure parents attend the EPATS (MENCAP) sessions so that parents are equipped with the right knowledge and skills in managing with their children's needs and behaviour.

obiageli ngoesina3 years ago This project is aimed at targeting the young people, it's intending to promote community safety through practical legal awareness and education. One of the most important issues that affects everyone in our society is community safety. In order for young people to actively contribute to promoting safety in their communities, it is crucial to educate and empower them. This can assist them in navigating the difficulties they may encounter and making informed decisions that contribute to a safer community by giving them practical legal awareness and education. it is important to note that, any thriving society must prioritise community safety because it affects everyone in the community, including children and the elderly, and it significantly impact quality of life. People may feel insecure in their own homes and localities if there are inadequate measures in place to maintain community safety. Statistics demonstrate that places where community safety is not prioritised tend to have higher crime rates. This may lead to a range of negative consequences, including decreased property values and less job possibilities. Examples from everyday life, such as the decine of once-thriving urban centres due to high crime rates, show the significance of community safety and the necessity for efficient methods to promote it. Understanding how the law operates in real life situations is known as practical legal awareness. It's about being aware of your duties, rights, and obligations as a citizen. Young people may encounter legal challenges that are specific to their age group, thus it can be particularly important for them to have practical legal knowledge. For instance, young people could run into legal issues related to employment, education, or housing. They may also experience challenges related to criminal law, such being detained or accused of a crime. By providing them with the knowledge and resources they need to make wise decisions and take appropriate action, practical legal awareness can assist young people in navigating these difficulties. As a law graduate from the University of East London, I believe that this opportunity would present as a way of giving back to my community, hence, I am applying for funding to support this project.

Syed Haque3 years ago Street Gym CIC is a true grassroots organisation and the first ever street gym in the entire borough primarily focused on helping the community with its needs. We had seen a gap in the market and filled it effectively to being recognised as a pillar of the community. From the outset, our services have never been funded and this would be our first ever application for funding as we have met to all the requirements of the application. We have subsidised from the start to build this gym by using our only savings that we had. The end result: is a service that has saved thousands of lives and for free. We need help to fix our building and service to meet to the demanding needs of the community - young and old.

Syed Haque3 years ago To support the community in relations to build intergenerational relationships between the young and the older population. This would involve providing support and education around conflict management, learning how to negotiate and increase listening skills through role play.This workshop programme would support residents to work with each other in harmony through role play by bringing in qualified facilitators and practitioners. Through techniques of drama role play participants would explore conflict disagreements and how to diffuse them through creative means.

Hajnalka Semsei3 years ago Do you want to see more art on Plaistow streets when you are passing by your shop or going to work? Do you want to attend art classes and creative workshops and learn how to draw or just relax in a nice environment?Let's bring more art to Plaistow, this will develop the area, improve our streets and make us happier. We plan to install two miniature street artworks in Plaistow and organise a series of weekly art workshops. The art workshops include drawing classes and an introduction to art, the main beneficiaries are everyone including youth and elderly people. The planned number of workshops is 12, which last for 3 months. All classes are free. There are limited free art classes for adults in the area and the aim is to match this need. Most of the classes will focus on drawing with some special classes about street art and photography. The miniature street artworks will be a maximum of 20 cm big, installed by a local artist on a wall of Plaistow, and will cheer you up whenever you pass it. The picture is for illustrations only (Artwork by Pablo Delgado by Hookedblog) If you like our ideas or if you want to participate, please support us and get in touch with us!

Syed Haque3 years ago My Idea for my project is to help those with depression, anxiety any form of mental health. There is currently a 9 months waiting list to see a professional for mental health. I want to try and help those with mental health issues. I myself suffer with mental health too. This is to also combat loneliness. A lot of people do not have family nearby. I am calling this Andrea's Group after my friend Andrea who passed away last year.

Syed Haque3 years ago Our project “Thriving Through Hoops” is a comprehensive youth development initiative that combines basketball sessions with one-on-one mentoring to empower and guide young indivduals towards a brighter future. Our primary purpose is to provide a supportive and constructive environment where young people can not only learn basketballs skills but also receive personalized mentorship to navigate life’s challenges and make positive life choices. We are applying for funding becasue we belive in the transformative power of mentorship and sports. Through basketball, we engage with youth on a fundamental level, teaching teamwork, discipline and resilience. However, we recognize that for many young people. the obstacles they face off the court are even more daunting. Our project aims to bridge this gap by pairing each participant with dedicateed mentors who will offer guidance, support, and a safe space for open dialouge. We are committed to providing basketball sessions twice a week, offering a consistent and structured outlet for participants. Furthermore, each participant will receive dedicated mentoring once every two weeks, fostering a deeper, more meaningful connection with their mentor.

Syed Haque3 years ago Love Thy Sister is a support group offered to the local community of mothers offering light hearted motivational group sessions bringing unity within our community. Thus unifying our diverse group of mothers, sharing theories and uplifting one another through the general pressures and worries of todays ever evolving world. The group will be held once a week during school hours, for two hours.We will offer light refreshments, also have professional guest speakers once a month and link in all the local services that can be of some to the support group.

Skylar V3 years ago Public green spaces are vital for the well-being of our local residents. In the Plaistow Community Neighbourhood lies a significant greenspace at the intersection of Newhaven Lane and Hayday Road. Unfortunately, this space lacks any flowers or shrubs and often falls victim to fly-tipping and littering. Many locals use it to walk their dogs, play with their children, or on a daily walk, but it appears significantly neglected.The 'Fresh Start: Reviving Our Community Greenspace' project aims to kickstart the beautification of this local space, enhancing access, safety, and well-being for the surrounding residents. We plan to introduce greenery and flowers to create a safe, inviting, and aesthetically pleasing space to enjoy by all and to deter the disposal of rubbish and fly-tipping that unfortunately predominates the area.
