General information
Service offered: At HCA we create the spaces and opportunities for individuals, groups and the wider community to thrive. Our community spaces (three centres and multiple outreach settings across the area) are welcoming, accessible and shaped by the community. All of those opportunities, or activities, support individuals to build their skills, confidence and overall well-being. They reduce isolation and offer the chance to build new meaningful relationships. Together, those approaches foster change and build a stronger community across our area. HCA works with over 2500 people every year, receiving one-to-one support, attending group activities and community-wide events, with over 25,000 attendances annually. Our work is delivered across four work strands. Arts – Our art programme focuses on Arts for Children and Young People, Arts Outreach and Arts for Wellbeing. We work across all ages and backgrounds in a range of different locations and mediums, using art to strengthen and empower our community. Movement – we provide spaces for our community to exercise both body and mind, with an emphasis on coming together alongside physical achievement, and improving both physical and mental health. Care – HCA provides day centre care for vulnerable older people, respite care for carers and families and a befriending scheme linking volunteers with isolated older people. Play – Our thriving under 5’s stay and play sessions bring families from across our community together to meet and play. We also run activities for children to explore their local environment through unstructured play.
