FORUM Connemara CLG End of Year Report 2018 FORUM Connemara CLG End of Year Report 2018 1 FORUM CONNEMARA CLG END OF YEAR REPORT January –December 2018. Introduction From January December 2018, Forum staff implemented actions under a number of programmes; The Rural Development Programme (Leader), The Adolescent Support Programme, the Rural Recreation Programme (RRP), the Rural Social Scheme, and Labour Activation Programmes Tus, Job Initiative, and Community Employment. There were difficulties in filling Tus places and in April the Department proposed a cutback to our allocation from 80 to 40 places. Forum meet with the Department in October .The Department confirmed our allocation of 40 places on Tus and 36 on RSS .The company lost two TUS supervisors but gained an additional supervisor for the RSS programme. Forum were allocated an additional 12 places on the RSS programme. These places are filling slowly, There are currently 31 places filled with 5 places remaining to be filled .. There will be a further review of places on both schemes scheme at the end of April 2019. During the year various staff gave comprehensive presentations on their work to the Board of Directors. This included work undertaken by the Rural Recreation Officer and the Adolescent Support Coordinator. The Adolescent Support Programme had a very successful 20th birthday celebration in May and there was also a presentation of the programmes activities to the GRETB Board who part fund the programme. The company’s finances are in a healthy state as at the end of December . Minister Ring’s Mediator/Facilitator: Representatives from Forum meet with Tom Barry facilitator on Wednesday 28th March 2018. Mr Barry had been appointed by the Minister in 2017 to undertake a facilitation process between Forum, Galway Rural Development, and Comhar na hOileann with a view to better cooperation in the delivery of services in Co Galway; this could include joint applications for the delivery of programmes including the SICAP programme. Following these meetings he had sent a report to the Minister to conclude stage one of the process. The Minister authorised him to proceed to stage two and had asked him to meet with the companies again to determine if we should go ahead with phase two. Forum representatives confirmed our commitment to the process but we wanted to know(a) what the Department want from the process and (b) what type of collaboration he envisaged. TB confirmed he was meeting GRD the following day Thursday 29th March. We have heard nothing from him or the Department in relation to this matter since. New Programmes: Ability Programme: FORUM Connemara made an application in January to the Department of Employment and Social Protection to establish an innovative needs-led model Ability Programme .This programme aims to increase the capacity, independence and potential of young people with disabilities in Connemara to participate and be retained in the labour market using a person-centred approach. The submission was successful, with FORUM being awarded €724,583 to deliver the programme over 3 years. 2 The Ability Programme entitled Cumas Chonamara will develop & implement innovative models of activation using a case management approach, designed to meet gaps in employment, pre-employment or progression for people with a disability aged between 15 and 29 years of age. The programme will support the progression of young people with physical or sensory disabilities, mental health conditions, acquired disabilities, intellectual disabilities, hidden disabilities & people on the autistic spectrum living in the Connemara Municipal district. The programme will promote progressive pathways into training, education and employment (including self-employment) for participants, with a focus on key transition points between training, education and employment. It will promote independence, increase self-confidence, and skills levels amongst participants who, because of their isolation, otherwise have limited access to employment, education/training, & social, information and support opportunities. Four posts will be funded to include one full time co-ordinator 2 fulltime employment facilitators and 1 partime employment facilitator. The programme commenced in September with some staff in place the remaining posts to be filled in December/January 2019. European Innovation Programmes (EIP): Forum Connemara CLG was successful in being selected for admission under the second round of the European Innovation Partnership Programme (EIP) initiative. Funding to develop a detailed Project Plan for the 12 Bens/Maamturk areas was approved by the Department and a comprencive plan was submitted to the Department in August. Forum was approved funding of 1.424 million euros in October . The programme will commence in March of next year 2019. The proposal aims to deliver a pilot locally led project in the geographic area of the 12 Bens/Garraun Complex and the Maamturks Special Areas of Conservation (SACs) involving up to 150 farmers/landowners. The locally led proposal intends to address the following challenges and issues, support sustainable farming, climate change, education and co-operation, mountain access for hillwalking on private and commonage lands, invasive species stock density control and grazing. Home Help: During 2017/2018 Forum in cooperation with the HSE piloted a home help programme in the Roundstone/ Clifden area. Demand for the service increased rapidly and following a review with the HSE it was agreed by the Board to set up a new Company Connemara Care CLG to deliver the service throughout the Forum area. This service was availed of by 40 clients provided by 12 part time workers when the new company took commenced work in September . The court of appeal gave its judgment on local standi in July . 3 FORUM Ability Programme End of Year Report 2018 Aims The aim of the Ability programme is to support young people with disabilities, living in Connemara, to develop their potential and bring them closer to the employment market. This will be achieved by promoting positive pathways into training, education, voluntary opportunities and employment. Target Group The target group for the programme are young people with disabilities, between 15-29 years of age, that are living in Connemara. Within this cohort, the programme will seek to engage with a wide range of disability types, such as: physical or sensory disabilities, mental health conditions, hidden disabilities, intellectual disabilities, acquired disabilities and people on the autistic spectrum. Actions Taken The actions taken for the Ability programme, to date, are as follows: The marketing and promotion of the programme. Networking: to develop relationships with local disability services, voluntary organisations and community groups. Recruitment and engagement of participants. Holding steering committee meetings. Drafting policy documents and support forms for the programme. Research for the programme. Liaising with Quality Matters in relation to the programme’s evaluation. These actions are outlined in more detail below. Marketing: The programme was advertised on Connemara Community Radio. An editorial outlining the aims of the programme was drafted and sent to the Carna Newsletter for publication. Posters for the programme were drafted and designed by Cantec Print. These posters were distributed, along with information leaflets, to relevant services in the area. Three social 4 media platforms were set up (Facebook, Instagram and Twitter) independent of the main Forum social media pages; the programme has been actively promoted on each platform. Networking: Four major services, supporting people with disabilities in the Connemara area, were engaged in relation to the programme, these were: Ability West, Brothers of Charity, Elm Tree mental health service and Social Farming. In addition, two seminars were attended: a Galway Rural Development (GRD) seminar for people with disabilities and a Public Participation Network seminar. As a result of these two seminars, links were made with other disability service providers in the area. Subsequently, plans have been put in place to meet with these providers with the view to establishing a disability network in Connemara. Engaging participants: In total the Ability programme has engaged with nine participants. Six of these have completed the application process and have been added to the Ability CRM system, as mandated by Pobal. Interventions have been put in place for two of these participants: one participant is currently doing a 10 week non-accreddited training programme at Connemara Community Radio, while the other has started Therapeutic Riding at Errislannin Manor and is due to start a Social Farming placement at Ower equestrian center in Moycullen. Meanwhile, work is ongoing to identify appropriate interventions and supports for the other participants. Steering committee: Two steering committee meetings have been held. As a result of these meetings, the composition of the steering committee has been revised. The committee members felt that a representative from the Brothers of Charity should be asked to sit on the committee, given that they are one of the main service providers for people with intellectual disabilities in the Gaeltacht area of Connemara. Furthermore, it has been agreed between committee members that an employer’s representative, a parent’s representative and a disability representative will also be sought to join the committee. Steering Committee Organisations: Elm Tree – Mental Health Service,
