CHange64 will fill in gaps in current service provision for 3 distinct groups who are struggling with mental health and wellbeing issues. Before the pandemic hit, there was already a mental health crisis for young people; second, there are a group of people (all ages) who consider themselves unemployable - largely due to a lack of self esteem; and finally, there are older people who's confidence has been negatively affected by the pandemic. The interventions, including counselling, personal development programmes and wellbeing programmes will impact on these mind states by improving confidence, self esteem and general wellbeing. The grant funding will be used to deliver accessible and tailored group programmes that seek to address these issues such as counselling, mindfulness, personal development and pre-employability programmes The most significant difference the project will make is on people's feelings of wellbeing improving mood, reducing the negative impacts of stress, increasing self esteem and reducing anxiety and feelings of depression and loneliness. Ultimately, transitioning into other services and support that are, or will be, available locally.

These activities include Youth Work, Community Development and Adult Learning opportunities. They currently operate for more than 65 hours per week and engage an average of 2000 people per month across our services. The Community Activities project will enable the organisation to deliver and develop a range of community activities for the coming year including Neston Flicks, Neston Wildlife Festival, CH64 Big Lunch, Lights & Lanterns and to support Neston Ladies Day, Neston Village Fair and Parkgate Fest. In addition we are hoping to add at least one more event in the coming year. The grant funding will be used to partly pay the co-ordinators salary. The most significant difference the funding will make this year will be to ensure the consistent delivery of not only these events but other projects including Neston Angels and the NCYC Community Garden. Across the year this funding will support up to 93 volunteers who gave more than 3600 voluntary hours last year.
