Wolseley Trust Annual Fun Day
Our Annual Fun Day was held on Saturday 24th June 2017, it went very well and was enjoyed by all who attended (even though the weather wasn't on our side to start with). The day had lots of fun activities including; a bouncy castle, tabletop sales, mini-games, Armed Forces themed dress up, refreshments, live music (North Prospect Choir and The Baracoodas) and a raffle - thanks to all who kindly donated a prize to us this year. Mayflower Nursery - Mrs Tickle and some of the Nursery children came along to help with our Hook-A-Duck game which everyone enjoyed. We were also joined by Rob from Dartmoor Search and Rescue who brought along two of his search dogs (Honey and Toohey), one of which was in the training stage. In the afternoon two local PCSO's, Andrew and Rose, were able to take time out from their busy schedule to visit us with a police car, which went down very well with the chilldren! We would also like to thank the Healthwatch Team who came along with a mascot which was fantastic, the people of our local community who attended with items to sell, and of course to our tenents of courtyard 2 who kindly moved all of their vehicles to allow us to use the space for the day.
Please see some of the picture taken on the day below.

History and Development
The Wolseley Trust has been delivering Social Prescribing in our area of benefit in partnership with local surgeries and community organisations since 2010. This service was funded by the Office for the Director of Public Health and the Wolseley Trust to meet the social needs of local people.
Since 2017 the service has grown through successful funding applications to Department of Health and Plymouth City Council. In 2019, the team secured contracts with 6 Primary Care Networks in Plymouth, providing dedicated social prescribers in 33 GP surgeries citywide.

We are so proud to have Get Up and Go Community Nursery as a community partner – an educational provider rated as Outstanding by Ofsted. It aims to focus on the social considerations that enable children in the community to reach their full potential, seeing itself as a social enterprise in every sense. And, in line with our aims of developing the community, three of the senior team have gained degrees in Early Childhood Studies and hold Early Years Professional Status (equivalent to teacher status).
The Wolseley Trust provides small grants for holiday care placements, a budget for healthy snacks, a larger grant to pilot the provision of an Additional Needs Worker, and initial funding that enabled Get Up and Go to apply for and secure a three-year grant from Children in Need.
Who we are by Vivian Hill, Nursery Manager
Get Up & Go Community Nursery is a thriving independent community business, providing childcare and education to local children aged two to four years as well as offering opportunities of employment and work experience. Nearing its twentieth year of operating within the Wolseley Trust Community Resource Building, the setting has supported many children and families in the community with care, respect, inclusion and equality at the forefront of our practice. Get Up & Go Community Nursery is led by three “home grown” graduates and the team hold childcare level three qualifications underpinned with a sound wealth of experience. The majority of our childcare practitioners live or have previously lived in the local area which strengthens the depth of understanding of the needs of this community. Children’s assessments and progress trackers provide evidence based confirmation that local children are making clear progress in all areas of their learning and development. Local schools and parents often informally feedback how well the children have progressed, associating this with the time spent at the nursery.
Working in Partnership with the Wolseley Trust
Get Up & Go Community Nursery has, from its outset in 1997, worked in partnership with the Wolseley Trust. There is much to be grateful for interms of support that the Trust has provided. The most recent occasion being during summer 2016 when a successful small grants panel request provided fee payment support for four children in need during the summer holiday period. The children concerned had identified additional needs, involving specialist services, and their attendance (which was 100%) provided continuity of care and routine, which eased their transition into school the following September. This example of support has proved invaluable over the years in terms of keeping children safe, supporting children’s development and helping families in need or indeed crisis. We are delighted that the team at Get Up & Go Community Nursery has earned its positive and trusted reputation within the community and we very much look forward to continuing working in positive partnership with the Wolseley Trust to support our local community.
Ford Youth and Community Centre (FYCC) was first established in 1980 operating from premises in Cambridge Road, Ford until November 2013. The Management Committee and Trustees are grateful for the continued support of all our partners and sponsors in our quest to continue with our community activities here at Ford Community Gym and the Jan Cutting Healthy Living Centre at Scott Business Park.
Our organisation is managed by 5 volunteer Trustees who form the core of a Management Committee which meets regularly to oversee the Project and plan for the future.

The Meet & Eat Cafe is open Mondays - Fridays from 9:15am - 3:30pm.
EAT THAT FROG
Eat That Frog have been working from Scott Business Park in the Meet and Eat Cafe since September 2016, supporting 12 young learners who have educational health care plans, and need qualifications and support to transition into the world of work. We work to each learner’s strengths and needs, focusing on who they are and how we can support them as an individual. We tailor their studies to suit them, including Media, IT, Computer Games, Sport and independent living skills. Whilst including real work experiences, some of our learners have been working in the Café, providing a delicious healthy options menu. We’ve seen a massive improvement in their skills, knowledge and confidence, with three young people deciding they’d like to progress and work in the catering industry. Scott Business Park is a good venue for our learners – it’s very different to schools and colleges, offering a real work/industrial environment and this means they’re more open to engaging with us, as they see it as something new and more ‘grown-up’. We’ve quickly become part of the local community, gaining support from nearby businesses, giving our learners vital insights into how different companies work and how to get employment.
The Wolseley Trust staff in the Jan Cutting Centre are always very supportive and have helped us in a variety of ways. We work with Job Centre Plus to provide information, advice and guidance to people to help them get paid work or to progress their careers. Running workshops and holistic support sessions from the Jan Cutting Centre, we have been able to assist local people in a variety of ways; with business support for self-employment, helping them understand changes in the benefits system and then signposting them onto further training or advice with health or money issues. In the future, we’re planning further qualifications, traineeships and apprenticeships for learners at the Wolseley Trust, enabling them to succeed in getting sustainable paid work. We’re also developing horticulture provision in the Wolseley Trust’s Patchwork Garden - we hope to turn this into a space for us to deliver some forest school sessions and grow fresh produce to use at the Café.
Eat That Frog are loving working with the Wolseley Trust, myself and my catering students love working in the café. We are pleased to give the young adults an opportunity to work in such a wonderful environment with such friendly people to help them gain confidence and life skills. – Jo Deacon, Eat That Frog Staff Member
Working at Eat That Frog has really helped me and my confidence. I really enjoy working and serving the customers. – Charlotte, Eat That Frog, Student
