Expanding our Live a Better Life Project into Barking and Dagenham Despite the challenges that are presented, particularly in relation to reduced funding Working in partnership with many organisations to improve outcomes for and increased demands, we have risen to the challenge and continue to deliver high individuals, including the Bedford's Park Walled Garden project and the Vault quality services to our community. We have found innovative ways to provide more Romford for less as demand on our services increases as stigma starts to recede and more people are seeking our help. This has only been possible due to the commitment Providing a range of awareness and training sessions, to improve our and hard work of our people and I would like to take this opportunity to thank each community’s knowledge around mental health and every one of them. Increase in the number of people receiving support Continued growth of our Community and Fundraising events Every year we are overwhelmed by the support we receive from individuals which is Successful conclusion of our awareness campaign in partnership with the why we have introduced the Ambassador Scheme which aims to recognise and Romford Recorder thank individuals who have been nominated as they have taken outstanding action to support the organisation, raise awareness of mental health and challenge mental health stigma. This year four individuals have been nominated and received I would like to take this opportunity to thank our service users, volunteers, staff and recognition trustees for their contribution and achievements. I am proud of the transformation Matt Antell for his commitment to organising two Golf Events that we have undergone during the past year, particularly as this was achieved with David Shand and Paul Tinslay for their continued support behind difficult financial constraints in place and during a time when the London the scenes at our Community and Fundraising Events Borough of Havering, our largest source of income, is conducting a review of the And Pia Van Praagh for her commitment to organising and running our Dog services that it commissions from the voluntary sector. I look forward to the Events organisation’s future. Lastly I would like to thank our donors and supporters for your commitment and We continue to be proud of our core strengths. We are: support to our work. Without your help and financial support, we would not have been able to achieve the impact on the lives of people outlined in this report. Expert- We’re trusted because we bring focused expertise in mental health. Positive- Our services find positive ways to make people feel valued and live well. Partners- We’re collaborative and open, draw on other people’s expertise when we need it. Community focused - We work with people within their communities, at home or at work. Inclusive- We support people so they can be open about who they are, without worrying about discrimination, knowing they will be accepted. “We are committed to supporting and educating the local community on mental health” CEO Vanessa Bennett 3 Chairman's Statement Havering Mind’s key objective remains that of supporting the residents of In last year’s report I felt compelled to raise some serious issues we had faced Havering who are affected both directly and indirectly with mental health regarding the apparent lack of regard of the value and importance of the services issues, which we have undertaken for over 50 years. we deliver from statutory commissioning. This issue is still present and remains particular frustrating when we continually This is the 4th year that I have had the privilege of serving as the Chair of Havering hear all political parties stating that there is a need to increase spending on Mind I continue to be amazed by the enthusiasm and hard work of our staff, mental health. The reality, as previously mentioned, is that our funding has been volunteers and service users alike. Within this annual report you will again hear of further reduced. the fantastic achievements that have been delivered in the past year under ever continuing difficult circumstances. Rest assured that all those involved in the organisation are determined to move forward positively and do everything we can to continue to provide the services We are fortunate to have a group of very dedicated volunteers who not only give we are renowned for to our service users. We remain open to any ideas and their time free of charge but also often provide a range of other services at no cost suggestions for improvements. to the organisation. As mentioned in the Chief Executive’s introduction we have introduced the Ambassador Scheme recognizing the commitment given by As always, on behalf on my fellow trustees, I should like to finish my report by particular volunteers. Without the fantastic contribution by all our volunteers thanking the staff and volunteers of Havering Mind for their continued support Havering Mind could not maintain the services it provides. and hard work in providing the range of mental health services Havering Mind delivers. Unfortunately, for the fourth year in a row, we continued to be subject to reduced funding whilst at the same time having even more referrals for the use of our mental health services. As highlighted in the Treasurer’s report we are increasingly dependent on our fund raising activities. These are organised by our community fund raising team. Income from this area, together with donations, now represents “We will continue to move forward approximately 25% of the organisation's revenue and without this we could not continue. The organisation is very grateful to all those involved in organising these with new initiatives to support the growing demand fund raising activities together with members of the public who support us in attending the events. for our services” We will continue to move forward with new initiatives in community fund raising Chairman Bob Antell together with seeking to increase the income from our already established events. Our largest event is the annual Wings & Wheels family show held at Damyn’s Hall Airfield. The event continues to grow both in terms of the number of the public attending plus the activities and attractions we have on the day.

  • MAY 2015 Not Just at Election Times
    Always available - MAY 2015 not just at election times THE BULLETIN The Voice of the Community Delivered by the Residents’ Association Houses in Multiple Your Local Occupancy Councillors In response to a worrying trend of a few unlicensed and unregulated Houses in Multiple Occupancy, developers buying up a large number of properties predominantly in Harold Hill, Residents’ Association councillors unanimously voted to set the wheels in motion “urgently” for the Council to impose what is called an Article 4 Directive. This Directive forces a developer to obtain planning permission for turning a regular dwelling house into an HMO. Currently this is not an obligation. Your RA councillors will keep you informed on this issue, and likewise if you suspect an HMO is being developed near you, please get in touch. Cllrs ALEX DONALD, BRIAN EAGLING, and DARREN WISE Cllrs ALEX DONALD, BRIAN EAGLING, and Free Bouncy Castle DARREN WIS E Thanks to our sponsor, Harold Wood Funeral Services, we are providing a bouncy castle free of charge in Painesbrook Park, Church Road, Harold Wood on Monday 25th May from 11.00am to 3.00pm. This event is to promote Painesbrook Park so on this Bank Holiday Monday, mums News from Redden and dads, bring your children along with a picnic and enjoy the day. We hope to see you there.

  • Traffic Noise Maps of Public Parks in Havering May 2018
    Traffic noise maps of public parks in Havering May 2018 This document shows traffic noise maps for parks in the borough. The noise maps are taken from http://www.extrium.co.uk/noiseviewer.html. Occasionally, google earth or google map images are included to help the reader identify where the park is located. Similar documents are available for all London Boroughs. These were created as part of research into the impact of traffic noise in London’s parks. They should be read in conjunction with the main report and data analysis which are available at http://www.cprelondon.org.uk/resources/item/2390-noiseinparks. The key to the traffic noise maps is shown here to the right. Orange denotes noise of 55 decibels (dB). Louder noises are denoted by reds and blues with dark blue showing the loudest. Where the maps appear with no colour and are just grey, this means there is no traffic noise of 55dB or above. London Borough of Havering 1 Bretons Outdoor Recreation Centre 1. Coronation Gardens 2.

SUMMARY The Local Government Boundary Commission for England (LGBCE) is undertaking a review of the London Borough of Havering’s local government electoral arrangements. The outcome of the review being implemented in readiness for the 2022 Council elections. In September 2019, the Council recommended to the Commission that it retain its existing cohort size of 54 (Part 1 submission). The Commission subsequently informed the Council that it was minded to agree to the proposal. For its Part 2 submission on warding arrangements, the Council proposes a pattern of 22 wards across a total membership of 56 councillors. The proposal gives a councillor / elector ratio of 1:3728 (by 2025). The Council considers that it has drawn up a ward arrangement which the Boundary Commission will find acceptable by meeting the statutory criteria for a successful electoral review. 2. ABOUT THE BOROUGH Havering is an outer London borough and the third largest in London, comprising 43 square miles. It is mainly characterised by suburban development, with almost half of the area dedicated to open green space, particularly to the east of the borough.
