Failsworth and Hollinwood District Partnership 25th November 2010 Failsworth District Plan Report of Colette Kelly, Assistant Executive Director, Neighbourhoods Portfolio Responsibility: People and Communities 1 Purpose of Report 1.1 To inform the District Partnership of progress made on the Failsworth and Hollinwood District Plan and to consider funding bids for projects which address issues within the plan.

2 Recommendations The District Partnership: a) Notes the report and plan. b) Approves the Money Management Commissioning Specification c) Decide on the applications requesting funding d) Urban Academy 3 Background 3.1 The Failsworth and Hollinwood District Partnership was established in July 2009

and has been progressing the area working agenda by focusing on and championing local priorities and issues which directly affect residents in the District.

3.2 The aim of the District Plan is to develop this approach further by identifying

themes, priorities, issues and actions which will have a positive impact on the quality of life of local communities and reflect the needs and aspirations of the area. The District Partnership has the following devolved budgets which will enable some of the actions highlighted within to be delivered during this financial year.

4 Current Position 4.1 The Local Area Agreement themes of Safe and Strong Communities including

clean and green, Economic Prosperity and Health and Wellbeing are common to all six District Partnership plans and form the basis of the development of priorities, issues and actions which are identified to meet the individual needs of each District Partnership area.

4.2 The District Plan attached in appendix 1 has been developed for discussion and

includes issues which have been highlighted to the District Partnership by Elected Members, PACT’s consultation with residents, Ward Profiles, the Area Action Teams and discussions with officers and partner organisations. A number

of projects or schemes have been identified in order to achieve the aims of the plan.

4.3 The plan is a dynamic and evolving document which will ultimately help to focus

and monitor the work of the District Partnership and ensure that local priorities are met.

4.4 Funding required through the Failsworth & Hollinwood District Partnership Body worn cameras.

The purchase of body worn cameras will greatly increase the effectiveness of both Police and PCSO's. The cameras will be deployed with patrols during their normal day to day policing as well as when dealing with incidents of ASB. The evidence they collect can be used to support prosecutions, ASB applications and importantly as a deterrent. The cameras are overt therefore the subject can see themselves on a small screen and the footage can be played back to their parents / guardians eliminating the mistrust that some parents may have towards the Police and eliminating the their child is an angel stance. The use of cameras for evidence gathering is increasing as the benefits are obvious and the initial purchase cost is soon recovered in Officers time. The less time we have to spend justifying our actions or attending at Court to give evidence the more time we can spend on the streets providing a hi-visibility presence and reassurance to our Communities. The current market leaders are VEE-CAM (www.vee-cam.com). Their units are not cheap, retailing at approx £1000 per camera but they have been deemed fit for Police purpose by other Forces including North Wales and BTP. The MOD has also deployed this camera in war zones such is the capability and robustness of this camera. If funding was to be granted I would be looking to purchase 4 units to deal with: ASB evidence gathering for adults supply / buying alcohol for children general patrol in high crime / hotspots evidence gathering for dog fouling evidence gathering for illicit drug use in/outside p/h's

Street Pastors

STREET PASTORS are currently working in Hollinwood every Saturday night. The team that cover this area have strength of 9, but currently only deploy 6 (3 pairs of 2). Although the volunteers are drawn from the Church they do not have an agenda (ie they are not preachers) and they successfully engage with people from all walks of life, backgrounds and religions. Their goal is to provide care and compassion. Many of the Pastors that work Hollinwood have strong links with the local business and youths and, in my opinion contributed greatly to reducing ASB, providing reassurance, CRIME PREVENTION and practical help and support for our Communities. They are seen as a independent team that people of all ages can confide in and seek help from.

There role is very much a prevention role so I cannot provide you with stats - how do you measure prevention? but the Chief Constable has seen their value and contribution to our Communities and he is keen on promoting them and for every Policing area in GMP to have them. I will be able to provide 'good news' stories of their work soon. I have set in place some actions that will increase the level of contact Failsworth and Hollinwood NPT have with our Pastors. I would like to see Pastors working in Failsworth and for this to happen funding is required. At this moment in time the Pastors working in our Neighbourhood are out of pocket. Their organisation cannot afford to even pay their reasonable expenses (they even have to buy their own uniform). Funding will allow the scheme to pay for the training of additional team members and pay for their uniforms. This in turn will free up their budget allowing the organisation to start to pay their volunteers expenses. £500 will allow one volunteer to be trained. Training starts in Feb 2011. The Pastors have asked for £3000.

Failsworth School Community Band Failsworth Community Band was formed to provide an opportunity for the schools pupils and members of the local community to perform at a high standard and at the same time encourage younger pupils to aspire to their technical levels. The band celebrated its 10th Birthday on 4th April 2010 and has performed in scores of high profile concerts locally, nationally and internationally. Five separate international tours have been undertaken to Paris (performing a memorable concert at Eurodisney), The Rhine Valley in Germany, Brugge and a recently completed second tour to Valkenburg in The Netherlands where the band has played concerts to over 2000 listeners in Maastricht, Valkenburg and Heerlen. The Band is run on a voluntary basis by Matthew Garlick, Nick Sheppard and David Clegg who are all Teachers at the school. The Band is a non profit making organisation and performs for free although we are happy to accept donations. The band receives no funding apart from money generated through donation. To maintain and develop the Band it is essential the key equipment is purchased as a matter of urgency. Musical Instruments, PA equipment and microphones, Percussion equipment, stand banners, Music repertoire, band uniforms are all expensive consumables which all in desperate need of update if the good work of the band is to continue. Funding will have a huge impact for the Band allowing them to increase the number of people able to access/join the group and ensuring we can be able to maintain the good work of the last ten years and continue to be excellent ambassadors for the Failsworth / Oldham districts, as well as making a huge impact ensuring that Failsworth school is the hub of the local and wider community.

PA Equipment, £2000.00

Music £500.00

Stand banners £1200.00

Percussion equipment £1500.00

Instruments £2000.00

VAT (if applicable)

TOTAL PROJECT COST £7,200.00

See Appendix 3 for full application Urban Academy At the June Failsworth & Hollinwood District Partnership, funding was allocated to

New Life Church for the Urban Academy Project, £4990.00. Additional funding was to be secured via Safer Tasking, however due to efficiencies this funding is unavailable. The New Life Church is looking for an extra £1000.00 to support the Urban Academy Project. Are the Failsworth & Hollinwood District Partnership happy to support this additional funding.

5.0 Working Group Updates 5.1 Safe and Strong The Safe and Strong working group met on 6th October 2010: Partners who were in attendance gave an overview of the key objectivities and the actions which have taken place.

Failsworth and Hollinwood District Partnership

Commissioning Specification DRAFT 3

Money Management (Pilot Programme)

Expressions of Interest are invited from potential Delivery Agents to undertake the commissioned activity detailed above.

1. Introduction

Failsworth and Hollinwood District Partnership has identified a need to consolidate and bring together the various strands of activity relating to debt advice, money management and benefits uptake, currently taking place within the locality it serves. There is a growing awareness that rent arrears and utility debts are caused more by poor levels of financial literacy rather than an unwillingness to pay. The Partnership is therefore seeking to equip local residents with the appropriate tools and skills to manage their personal finances effectively and to avoid the “debt trap”. The intention is to take a coordinated approach to addressing the issue of poor financial literacy. In addition, Failsworth and Hollinwood District Partnership is eager to develop a local pool of individuals able to conduct initial discussions on money management issues with local residents and to signpost them to qualified sources of advice and guidance on financial matters. To this end, Failsworth and Hollinwood District Partnership would like to pilot a programme of support to be made available to local people on finance–related issues. This programme would incorporate financial literacy training, money management and debt counselling, as well as advice on accessing affordable loans and access to bank accounts. Furthermore, the aim would be to deliver this support via a ‘No Wrong Door’ approach, whereby any individual seeking help would be subject to a common assessment procedure and then directed to, or given the assistance required. It is also intended that a local multi-agency network of partner organisations working to combat financial exclusion will be established as part of this initiative.

Consequently, Failsworth and Hollinwood District Partnership is now inviting Expressions of Interest from potential Delivery Agents to undertake delivery of a Money Management Pilot Programme, designed to achieve the following:

• Establishment within the Partnership’s area of a multi-agency network of professional workers/advisers, who are active in providing money management advice and debt counselling

• Provision of advice/guidance on financial matters from a qualified, experienced debt advice worker, (or workers) to local residents to enable them to make informed choices about managing their money

• Establishment of a pool of volunteer money management advisers, trained to conduct initial discussions on money management with local residents and to signpost them to qualified, experienced debt advice workers / organisations

• An increase in welfare benefits uptake by eligible local residents

• Promotion of reputable savings institutions such as Oldham Credit Union Outputs 2010-11 and 2011-12 The commissioned activity is expected to achieve the following outputs during 2010-11 and 2011-12:

• ????? individuals participating in a generalist training programme, which will equip them with the basic skills required to discuss money management matters with local residents and to signpost people to appropriate sources of help from qualified, experienced debt advice workers

• ??? local residents being signposted to assistance from qualified, experienced debt advice workers

• ???? local residents receiving direct advice on money management matters from qualified, experienced debt advice workers

• Establishment of a local network of advisers and organisations involved in the provision of debt counselling and money management advice

Potential Delivery Agents

Failsworth Community Band was formed to provide an opportunity for the schools pupils and members of the local community to perform at a high standard and at the same time encourage younger pupils to aspire to their technical levels. The band celebrated its 10th Birthday on 4th April 2010 and has performed in scores of high profile concerts locally, nationally and internationally. Five separate international tours have been undertaken to Paris (performing a memorable concert at Eurodisney), The Rhine Valley in Germany, Brugge and a recently completed second tour to Valkenburg in The Netherlands where the band has played concerts to over 2000 listeners in Maastricht, Valkenburg and Heerlen. The Band is run on a voluntary basis by Matthew Garlick, Nick Sheppard and David Clegg who are all Teachers at the school. The Band is a non profit making organisation and performs for free although we are happy to accept donations. The band receives no funding apart from money generated through donation.

To maintain and develop the Band it is essential the key equipment is purchased as a matter of urgency. Musical Instruments, PA equipment and microphones, Percussion equipment, Stand banners, Music repertoire, band uniforms are all expensive consumables which all in desperate need of update if the good work of the band is to continue.

Funding will have a huge impact for the Band allowing them to increase the number of people able to access/join the group and ensuring we can be able to maintain the good work of the last ten years and continue to be excellent ambassadors for the Failsworth / Oldham districts, as well as making a huge impact ensuring that Failsworth school is the hub of the local and wider community.
