UNLOCKING POTENTIAL… … Opening Opportunity UNLOCKING POTENTIAL… … Opening Opportunity Bringing HOPE into the lives of YOUNG PEOPLE and their FAMILIES by UNLOCKING POTENTIAL and OPENING OPPORTUNITY so that their PAST does not define their FUTURE I think it’s fair to say that things in my life have been quite hard. School was really difficult—I never felt like I fitted in. I always found making friends and getting on with lessons hard. Doing my GCSEs was a really stressful time for me. The pressure at school to get good grades meant I felt sick most of the time. I was finding things really tough with my friends too. Everyone was getting excited about going to college but I was dreading it. Meeting new people or doing new things makes me really anxious, and I wasn’t sure if I could keep going at all. Throughout it all I was going to The Door every week and one day I plucked up the courage to talk to a youthworker about how I was feeling. They were really great, listening to me without judging me. They also helped me to get some help from the mental health team. As my friends seemed so happy about life, I started to distance myself from them - not going out or joining in stuff. They thought I didn’t like them anymore and so I fell out with most of them. Sometimes I would just sit in my room and cry. I started to see a mentor, which gave me a chance to explore what I wanted to do with my life, and how I could overcome some of my anxieties about trying new things. She came with me to an open day at college and helped me apply. Making the move was hard but I did it! I really don’t know how I could have coped with life without The Door – everything they do is so caring and supportive, and they really listened to me when I needed them most. This last year has been an extremely exciting one for The Door. Our fabulous team of staff and volunteers have managed to meet the needs of an ever–increasing number of young people and parents throughout the district. In times of austerity and international turmoil it is heartening to see so many good news stories about the lives of young people being turned around. So times are exciting, with lots and lots of good news stories. This hope is set against the often desperate reality of huge need - for example, we have seen a tripling in the demand for mentoring over the last two years. Many thanks to all the trusts, councils, churches, private donors, corporate donors and everyone else that has supported this amazing work. We are very grateful to you all. Many, many lives are touched and turned around because of your support. Looking forward we hope to continue to do so, more and more broadly, bringing the opportunity of hope to more and more young people across the district. I hope that I can speak on behalf of all The Door’s trustees when I say that it continues to be a great privilege to be involved in this work. And most of all, a huge ‘well done’ to all of the young people and their families who have made so many giant steps in their lives. That's why we're all here. As you’ll no doubt see throughout this review, it’s been a very busy year for The Door —starting new initiatives, sustaining existing ones, and constantly reviewing and tweaking the services that we deliver to ensure that we always are as ‘needs-led’ as we say we are. So while we haven’t let the grass grow under our feet operationally, it’s also been a very important year for us strategically as a management team, developing a 3-year business plan to take The Door up to 2021, along with a phased implementation plan for it. Both have been given the green light by our trustees and are now in work. We’re now operating in more areas than ever before across the Stroud District and beyond, and we look forward to continuing to develop this invaluable work. At The Door we often refer to ourselves as a ‘family’ and this is certainly a key ingredient to the success of the team as we endeavour to achieve outstanding outcomes. It’s an honour to work with so many gifted, committed and generous people, both staff and volunteers, who work tirelessly together and always for the good of those they serve. The ‘family’ approach is also a significant feature of our work with external agencies, where prioritising strong and authentic relationships has enabled us to work fully alongside organisations and make a real difference in the communities we serve. If I were to pick out a single theme from this year it would be the value of partnership, both within The Door team, working seamlessly to address issues and support those in need, and externally, working closely with statutory agencies to achieve the best outcomes for our wider community. Nowhere has this been more evident than in our collaborative work alongside the local Neighbourhood Policing teams, where working together has led to some incredible results in reducing anti-social behaviour. I never tire of hearing about the team’s remarkable results day after day through the year. I’m in awe of the difference they’re making in so many ways, with the outcomes and variety of services that we are providing to those most in need. So it is my pleasure to invite you now to read on to find out more about their activities this past year. Our Community Youthwork model acknowledges that there’s only so much we can do in a 2-hour youth club session: our impact can be much greater when we become embedded in the communities we work in. So we go into local secondary and primary schools, liaise with town and parish councils, neighbourhood wardens and youth forums, and have a very close relationship with the police and local PCSOs in particular. Becky Elliott, Senior Youthworker in Stroud says “It’s great to be in Archway School hanging out with the year 7s every week and doing their assemblies. I‘m often the first contact they have with The Door, and it’s lovely that when I’m out and about in town they come up to me and say hello.” Particular highlights from the year include helping young people through the often tricky transitions from primary to secondary school, onto college, or into employment and training. “Our biggest impact on the community” says Kathleen Hanbury, Community Youthwork Coordinator Dursley “has been with four boys who were getting arrested regularly due to their anti-social behaviour including theft, vandalism and intimidation.” The Door worked closely with local police going the extra mile to continue to engage with the young people. This included accompanying one to court and finding him housing. PC Peter Lay: “The enthusiasm and energy of The Door’s staff is infectious. In the Cam and Dursley area their commitment to taking a civic and social lead on community youth- related issues is from my professional experience second to none. “ Youth club sessions provide safe spaces for young people to socialize, have fun and access support from youthworkers. The Door’s youth clubs are generally for those aged 11 to 17, although Avening serves a younger age group (8 to 14). Sessions across all centres have planned activities around monthly themes which this year have included health and wellbeing, careers and volunteering, stress awareness and ‘Fun to be Young’, and these activities run alongside the usual youth club facilities. We asked our youthworkers to outline the main issues faced by the young people attending these clubs. High on the list was drug use, other addictions and isolation as well as anxiety brought on by school or home life, lack of aspirations, low self–esteem and issues with identity and self-image. Others struggle with bullying and poverty. And the difference we can make? “The biggest impact is on the confidence of young people—we build them up.” Over the year we have run open access youth clubs in 8 different communities across the Stroud District—Stroud, Dursley, Cam, Wotton-under-Edge, Cainscross, North Nibley, Avening and Stonehouse. We were delighted to be awarded extended contracts in Dursley, Cam and Wotton this year and a brand new contract in Stonehouse. As part of her studies at Stroud College, Courtney has been on placement with The Door’s Youthwork Team. “My journey so far has been amazing, I have achieved so much, and my confidence has grown in huge amounts. My mental health has also improved because I have an amazing support network around me that has really helped me to overcome my anxieties. Doing this placement feels like I’m doing something productive and making a difference in the young people’s lives, especially when I share some of my own experiences about what I have come up against. I’m learning new things all the time. The team are helping me to become the best youthworker I can be and also become the best version of myself. The opportunity I’ve been given to work alongside the team has inspired me so much. They are so hard working and they really do want to make a difference in the lives of those around them. I feel like I understand who I am and what I want to be, and I’m so excited to see what the future holds for me here at The Door.” “Mentoring creates friendships that turn young people’s lives around.” says Alistair Anderson, Mentoring Team Leader.

  • October 2017 Issue 236
    OCTOBER 2017 ISSUE 236 ON THE EDGE Footpaths, Bridleways and Tracks There are over 9,500 public rights of way (PROWs) in Gloucestershire. Government cuts have resulted in a significant reduction in the capacity of the rights of way team to fulfil their obligations but the Gloucestershire County Council public rights of way team are responsible for: • providing information about the routes of public paths, • recording PROWs on the Definitive Map, • processing 'public path orders' and 'modification orders', • maintaining the surface of PROWs, • maintaining most bridges over natural watercourses, • roadside signposting and way-marking, • making sure that public paths are reasonably convenient for the public to use. Your rights of way include: • public footpaths, • public bridleways, • restricted byways, • Byways open to all traffic. Public footpaths can be used on foot only (with a pram, pushchair or wheelchair where it is practicable to do so *), with a dog under close control. Public bridleways also allow horse riders and cyclists (cyclists must give way to walkers and horse riders). Restricted byways can be used by any transport without a motor. * and mobility scooters and powered wheelchairs. Note: users may take an alternative route around an obstruction or remove enough of the obstruction to get past. Ordnance Survey maps show most public rights of way but may not be up to date. In the parish of North Nibley, as in most of England, public footpaths are way-marked with yellow arrows and bridleways with blue arrows. What may seem to be a single path may be made up of sections with different designations.

  • Introduction the Parish of North Nibley
    Introduction This Parish Plan was developed in response to the government’s proposal that rural communities should produce plans "to indicate how they would like their town or village to develop". It was suggested that funding decisions by the district and county councils should take account of these plans. A Survey Questionnaire was prepared and distributed to all households in the Parish, to which 63% responded. An additional questionnaire was included specifically for 7-18 year olds. Gloucestershire Rural Communities Council analysed the replies and the results were presented to the Annual Parish Meeting in 2009. The results were also made available to parishioners and Parish organisations. The results and additional feedback from Parish consultations, to which all residents were invited, were used by a volunteer Steering Group of North Nibley residents to assist them to develop this Plan. The plan identifies issues and concerns of parishioners highlighted through the Survey and consultation meetings. It provides a guide to future actions by the community, the Parish, District and County Councils and external agencies. The Parish of North Nibley North Nibley is an attractive village on the edge of the Cotswolds, located close to the river Severn between Bristol and Gloucester. Its name means a farm or settlement on a hilltop. The first record is in the register known as Cartularium Saxonicum in 940 AD as 'hnibban lege'. The village is famously associated with William Tyndale who translated much of the Bible into English. The Tyndale Monument, erected in 1866, is a conspicuous feature on the hill above the village. The Parish was also the scene of the last battle fought in England on 20th March 1469/70, between the private armies of Thomas, Lord Lisle and William, Lord Berkeley at Nibley Green with combined forces of more than 1,000 men.

  • Picks Mill, Road Green, North Nibley, GL11 6BA
    Picks Mill, Road Green, North Nibley, GL11 6BA Road Green, North Nibley, Dursley Picks Mill is a beautiful and spacious stone built former mill believed to date back in part to the 12th century. Situated in its own mature grounds, understood to be approaching 1.7 acres approx. set back from the road approached via a private tree lined driveway with Doverte Brook flanking the rear boundary. In addition to the five bedroomed main house, there is a separate charming detached stone cottage providing options for granny annexe, independent teenager or income from rental letting. This is the first time this property has come to the market in 30 years when the current owners acquired the property and they have carried out extensive renovations and improvements, however there is still tremendous potential on offer with basements rooms and outbuildings for conversion or inclusion into the living accommodation (subject to building regulations and approval). Located on the edge of North Nibley close to the Stinchcombe borders, the area is surrounded by scenic farmland forming part of an area of outstanding natural beauty. Although extremely private, the property is not isolated with the village of North Nibley being less than 1 mile approx. away. The gardens and grounds include a paddock area and natural landscaping forming a habitat for wildlife and a haven for birds which can be seen feeding from a balcony area to the rear. It is thought that the mill had stood on this site since the 12th century formerly known as Mundy Mill a wool mill then owned by Giles Pick in the 1870's when it was used as a grist mill.
