Fenland Networking Breakfast: Long-Term Commitment to Sustainable Change

The Power of Cross-Sector Collaboration: A Panel Discussion

A panel of experts, including Rebecca Stimson from MJS Construction, Matt Dobbing, Associate Principal at Thomas Clarkson Academy, Simon Jackson, Economic Growth Manager at Fenland District Council, David Page, Employment Adviser at the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP), and Nikki DiGiovanni, Development Director at Remo, led the next discussion. They focused on how businesses and educational institutions can collaborate to address the ‘disconnected’ challenge faced by many young people in Fenland.

Key discussions included the lack of soft skills among young people, such as effective communication and confidence, and how these gaps also affect older individuals seeking to re-enter the workforce. “We need creative, innovative ways to introduce businesses to schools for mentoring and support,” said Dobbing, emphasising the importance of breaking down the barriers between young people and the working world.

Long-Term Commitment to Volunteering and Support

Nikki DiGiovani, from Remo, spoke passionately about the importance of long-term, sustained efforts to create real change in Fenland. She discussed how many initiatives

are brought in by external organisations with short-term funding, only to disappear once the money runs out. “People in Fenland aren’t believing this anymore,” she said. “They want long-term, sustained efforts.” She urged businesses to think more broadly about their role in the community and how they can contribute to creating lasting change.

Rebecca Stimson also shared her experience of getting involved in the local community, saying that people were looking for long-term investment in their region. She gave an example of how her team at MJS Construction helped create a construction zone at Manea school, donating equipment and time. Stimson highlighted how small acts of kindness and long-term support can make a huge difference in local education and community initiatives.

The Importance of Soft Skills and Strategic Career Support

The event concluded with a call for continued collaboration to bridge the gap between young people and the workforce. Matt Dobbing emphasised the importance of teaching soft skills in schools—things like how to behave professionally, express gratitude, and manage difficult conversations. “The first steps are the most important,” he said, explaining that young people need to learn how to learn and apply that knowledge to future opportunities. “Hearing real people from real jobs earning real money telling their stories to the young” is a key action to inspire and motivate them.

A Call for Action and Continued Progress

This event was a powerful reminder of the importance of working together—businesses, schools, local authorities, and community organisations—all pulling in the same direction to create a brighter future for Fenland. By continuing to foster volunteering, education, and cross-sector partnerships, Fenland can build a resilient, skilled workforce that is ready to face the challenges of tomorrow.

Elsewhere during the day, discussions emphasised how businesses can enhance Fenland’s appeal to both young talent and experienced professionals by adapting their recruitment strategies. Key points included building a strong employer brand by showcasing Fenland’s unique qualities, such as its lower cost of living and strong sense of community. Employers were also encouraged to invest in professional development programmes to retain local talent and provide career growth opportunities.

The importance of offering apprenticeships and work experience to create tailored career pathways for young people was highlighted, along with the need for upskilling and reskilling to ensure the workforce remains adaptable to changing industry demands. Volunteering and community wellbeing were also central themes, as businesses were urged to integrate these into their operations to foster employee satisfaction and retention. Additionally, the event included group discussions that allowed attendees to share insights and connect with others, further strengthening the network of professionals and organisations committed to Fenland’s growth.

The key to Fenland’s success lies in the power of partnerships. By aligning education with industry needs, fostering strong connections between businesses and public sector organisations, and prioritising employee wellbeing, Fenland can create a more resilient, dynamic economy. Moving forward, it is clear that collaboration will remain vital. The discussions at this event laid the foundation for a sustainable, inclusive, and prosperous future, and we look forward to supporting Fenland’s ongoing journey towards success.

As the event wrapped up, one powerful takeaway emerged: for Fenland to reach its full potential, a blend of sustained dedication, strategic partnerships, and a long-term vision is imperative. These collective efforts will lay the foundation for a thriving future where both today’s and tomorrow’s generations can build successful, fulfilling lives within a dynamic and resilient community. The conversations ignited at the Fenland Networking Breakfast reinforced that tackling the region’s challenges requires a unified, forward-thinking approach—one that drives lasting impact and empowers Fenland to flourish in the years to come.

Fenland Networking Breakfast: Building a Brighter Future for Fenlands

/by

Last month, over 70 people including business leaders, educators, local authorities, and community organisations gathered at the March Golf Club for the inaugural Fenland Networking Breakfast, which included a breakfast buffet for all in attendance. The event, hosted by Rachel Hales from Get Synergised, focused on building a brighter future for Fenland through collaborative partnerships across Fenland’s many sectors. The goal was clear: to explore innovative ways to shape the future workforce of Fenland and drive sustainable economic growth.

Mark Freeman’s Vision for Volunteering in Fenland

Mark Freeman, CEO of Cambridge County for Voluntary Services (CCVS), kicked off the event with a presentation on the critical role that volunteering plays in the region. He pointed out that only 9% of the Fenland population is actively engaged in civic roles such as being a local councillor or volunteering. “We need the other 91% of the community to get involved,” he urged. Freeman stressed that volunteering isn’t just beneficial for the recipients; it also provides a sense of purpose and belonging for those who give their time. He encouraged the businesses in attendance to think about how they can support and inspire their teams to volunteer.

Rachel Hales, the event host, expressed her enthusiasm, saying, “It was truly inspiring to see the passion and energy at the first event of its kind, with a desire for greater cross-sector collaboration and a shared ambition to transform Fenland’s social and economic landscape.” She highlighted that Fenland is already home to many remarkable initiatives, but there’s a need to connect the dots more effectively. By sharing resources and working together strategically, Hales believes the community can ensure that everyone knows how to get involved, stay informed about ongoing initiatives, and collectively create a more meaningful and sustainable impact. She emphasised that this collaborative approach is the responsible and effective way to do business, driving the community forward and building a brighter future for all.

Marija’s Passion for Supporting Fenland’s Youth

Marija Lysak, Fenland Development Officer at Hunts Forum, passionately shared her journey and the ways she has contributed to the region, particularly through the Support Fenland project. She emphasised the importance of providing opportunities for young people to volunteer and gain work experience. “We don’t want Fenland to be the forgotten area left behind,” she stated. Marija also highlighted the need to educate young people on the value of volunteering, not just for their personal growth, but for the betterment of the community.

The event then moved into a lively discussion about bridging the gap between education and employment. Attendees discussed how there is a need for greater engagement with

local schools to guide students towards the careers they aspire to. It was emphasised that building strong relationships between schools and businesses could help better prepare young people for the workforce.

A Vision for a More Ambitious Fenland

The conversation shifted towards the larger goal of making Fenland a more ambitious and forward-thinking community. Simon Jackson of Fenland District Council reflected on how Fenland had not progressed much in the past 30 years and questioned whether local efforts had been sufficient. “Are we not ambitious enough?” he asked. “Can we set higher goals?” Jackson suggested that while progress may seem slow, setting ambitious targets and continuing to strive for improvement would lead to meaningful changes over time.

As the event ended, one message stood out: for Fenland to truly thrive, ambition, collaboration, and long-term commitment are crucial. These efforts will fuel the region’s continued growth, ensuring that both current and future generations can live, work, and succeed in this unique and vibrant community. The conversations sparked during the Fenland Networking Breakfast have shown that a unified approach is essential to tackling the challenges ahead.

Don’t forget – 2025 State of the Sector Survey: Share Your Insights! 

/by

As we approach the end of 2024, it’s time once again for us to hear directly from the voluntary and community sector about the challenges and opportunities you face. From 26 November 2024 to 17 February 2025, we invite charities, not-for-profits, and community groups across Cambridgeshire to participate in this vital survey. 

This year feels calmer compared to the upheavals of recent times. Yet, beneath this relative quiet, our communities continue to grapple with complex issues—and the voluntary sector plays a crucial role in meeting these needs. 

The 2024 State of the Sector report “We get back up again” painted a challenging picture: a drop in volunteer numbers, growing demands for services, and stretched waiting lists. This evidence helped Support Cambridgeshire advocate for the invaluable contribution of charities and community groups in a landscape of tightening budgets and cuts to public services. 

Now, we need your voice again. How has your organisation fared this year? 

  • Are you still finding it difficult to recruit volunteers? 
  • Has funding improved or worsened? 
  • Are you feeling more optimistic about the future of your group? 

This survey is your opportunity to share your experiences and make sure your voice is heard. The survey is circulated with statutory officers, councillors and funders across the county.The insights you provide will help us build a clear picture of the challenges and opportunities across the sector, enabling us to advocate effectively on your behalf. 

By completing the survey, you’ll: 

  1. Contribute to a county-wide understanding of the voluntary and community sector. 
  2. Help shape strategies and policies that support your work. 
  3. Highlight emerging trends or challenges that require attention in 2025. 

It only takes a short time to complete, but the impact of your input will resonate throughout the year. All organisations that fill out the survey will be entered into a prize draw for £100 for that organisation. The closing date for the survey is 17th February 2025, and the prize draw will follow this. 

If you would like help completing the survey over the phone, or if you would prefer a paper copy of the survey, please call CCVS: 07935 649805. 

Support Fenland, Development Officer update

/by

Since joining the Support Fenland team just over three months ago it’s been a very busy time, with the project continuing to gather momentum. As a resident of Fenland and also having worked locally in the charity sector, I feel privileged to play my part in helping local groups and organisations flourish in their communities.

One of the first tasks was to plan our official launch at the Queen Mary Centre in Wisbech on 24th September. It was a great success, with over 40 group representatives and stakeholders attending. After a presentation about the project, we gathered valuable feedback hearing first-hand about some of the challenges and positive aspects experienced by the voluntary sector in Fenland. From this we identified key priorities that the project would focus on going forward.

The project launch on the 24th of September 2024.

Whilst recruiting for our communications role – I was given an extra day a week to fill the gap on an interim basis and that included compiling information for social media and writing and distributing press releases to local newspapers and magazines to heighten awareness of the project. We had some excellent coverage following our launch, and it was good to build rapport with local editors and journalists who are keen to continue to promote Support Fenland.

Here are some of the articles:

The publicity has been an excellent springboard to generating more leads and conversations and has resulted in me now working with several voluntary organisations offering support with sourcing grants and funding opportunities. Another of my tasks was to write a communications mapping document highlighting and planning the communication opportunities and challenges which will influence the ongoing and future promotion of the project.

The first few months have also been about meeting, listening, and networking with different groups and looking at ways in which Support Fenland can work collaboratively. These include, I Love Wisbech, Fenland Youth Network, Integrated Neighbourhood Partnership, Collaborative Fenland (Wisbech Community Farm) and Living Sport who recently had a two-day Fenland Place Leadership Programme event in Wisbech which I found extremely beneficial in building rapport with other attendees. (see photo below)

It’s also been a time of working with our colleagues at CCVS (Volunteer Cambs) where we’ve attended events already happening in the district. This has helped to discover how Fenland communities are engaged in current work. It was great to support the team at the Volunteer Fair in Wisbech a couple of months ago and more recently in Whittlesey (see photo below).

Having finalised the action plan for the coming year, there are lots of things in the pipeline centred around networking events and training. Including a networking event on the 3rd of December, Let’s Shape Fenland, where we welcome people to find out more about the project and talk through what’s going on around them and issues they are facing across the district. Click here if your interested to join : Click here

Then, March 2025 is Support Cambridgeshire’s Funding Month, and I’ll be delivering a Fundraising training session with lots of ideas on how to generate extra income for charities and voluntary sector groups. More details on this, plus other training opportunities, will follow soon.

My passion is to see Fenland communities go from strength to strength, and I’m committed to offering groups and organisations the support that they need, including advice and guidance on their group structure, sourcing funding, grant applications, and much more.

Support Fenland Project Launches at Queen Mary Centre in Wisbech

/by

Over forty individuals from voluntary organisations across the Fenland district attended the official launch of the Support Fenland project recently. The event which was held at the Queen Mary Centre in Wisbech was an opportunity for those from the voluntary sector to hear more about the project, meet the team and find out how they could be involved. During part of the event attendees were encouraged to discuss several topics including identifying the strengths of the Fenland area and how together with the help of the Support Fenland team, their organisations could find solutions to overcoming some of the challenges that also exist. 

Support Fenland is a five-year project funded by the National Lottery Community Fund to help communities and charities across the whole of the Fenland District and is being delivered by the Support Cambridgeshire partnership (The Hunts Forum of Voluntary Organisations and Cambridge Centre of Voluntary Services also known as Hunts Forum and CCVS). Kathryn Shepherdson, Deputy CEO at Hunts Forum said “It is important that we hear first-hand the voice of those organisations based in the Fens for us to channel the support to those groups that need it. Their feedback is invaluable to us, and we look forward to working with communities and groups to ensure they flourish. Comments that we received following the event have been extremely positive, referring to the project a small group representative said, ‘If this had been about when I started up it would have been so useful.’ We want to ensure that no group or person with a good idea to help their community has to work in isolation and they are given access to support, guidance and advice when needed. 

Support Fenland offers a range of free services including training, how to identify funding sources, making successful grant applications, structuring a non- profit group, writing polices and governance, providing networking opportunities, mentoring and much more.  

Leading the project are Marija Lysak, Fenland Development Officer and Didem (Dee) Ucuncu, Fenland Communities Officer who both bring a wealth of experience from the private, charity and volunteer sectors.

New Support for Fenland Groups

An exciting new project funded by the National Lottery Community Fund is now available to help communities and charities across the whole of the Fenland District. Known as ‘Support Fenland’ this is a five-year project delivered by the Support Cambridgeshire partnership (Hunts Forum and CCVS). The results of a pilot project in 2021, funded by Lloyds Foundation Bank, made it possible to identify the areas of support needed by Voluntary and Community sector (VCS) groups within the Fenland area.  

We are delighted to announce that help is now available through Support Fenland. The project enables the team to work alongside those groups, identifying their needs and provide the necessary support they require to maximise their potential and flourish within their communities. 

The support available ranges from training, advice, resources and guidance on areas such as identifying funding sources, how to make successful grant applications, structuring a group or charity, writing polices, governance, volunteering and much more. This is complemented by relevant events and networking opportunities organised throughout the year on a local and district level enabling groups to share information and work together. 

The new team spearheading the project are Marija Lysak, Fenland Development Officer and Didem Ucuncu, Fenland Communities Officer who both bring a wealth of experience. They have both lived and worked in the Fenland area for many years and have firsthand experience of some of the challenges facing community groups. They are passionate to see communities within the area, thrive and go from strength to strength.

Marija has over 25 years of experience of working in the private, education and charity sectors as a Business Development Manager, Education Consultant, Outreach Manager for a refugee support charity and Pastoral roles. Outside of work Marija volunteers on the Whittlesey Festival Steering Committee, helping to organise this popular community event. She has strong links with local schools and enjoys taking sessions that inspire all ages to get involved in the performing and creative arts.  

Didem (Dee) has 14 years of experience in the private sector and as well as being a busy mum, has dedicated the past two years to volunteering within Wisbech. She currently volunteers as a Walk Leader for the Ramblers Wellbeing Walks, a Timekeeper at Parkrun, Vice President of the Wisbech Lions Club, and a Community Listener/Community Project Researcher for Healthwatch Peterborough & Cambridgeshire.  

The Support Fenland project will be launched at an event on Tuesday 24 September in Wisbech. This will be an opportunity to hear more about the project, meet the team and see how you can be involved.

Community engagement funding comes to Fenland

/by

Following the earlier funding received by Support Cambridgeshire for their work in Fenland, the partnership is thrilled to announce an additional five-year grant from the National Lottery Community Fund. This funding will continue to support and develop voluntary and community sector groups and organisations throughout the county.

The Support Fenland project began in 2021 with funding from Lloyds Foundation Bank, initiating a one-year pilot project to assess the support needed by voluntary and community groups in Fenland for further development. The outcome highlighted the essential need for such support across the district to maximise the potential of the Voluntary and Community Sector (VCS).

In response to the pivotal findings of this pilot, Support Cambridgeshire applied for funding from various sources, with successful outcomes. This initiative builds upon the groundwork laid by the pilot project, focusing on enhancing and expanding support and advisory services throughout Fenland. The project’s ethos emphasises collaborative efforts with local communities to develop resilient support systems tailored by and for the communities.

 

Julie Farrow, CEO of Hunts Forum and lead on Support Cambridgeshire, expressed her enthusiasm, stating, “We are excited that we can now offer the communities of Fenland the same type of support that other districts receive. This five-year funding will enable us further to enhance the voluntary and community sector’s wonderful work.”

 

With years of experience collaborating with staff and volunteers from various charities and community groups across the county, both partners specialise in providing guidance, training, and support. They aim to empower individuals in these organisations, equipping them with the necessary skills and confidence to secure funding, expand their outreach, and effect positive change within local communities. Furthermore, both organisations facilitate the establishment of new groups, amplify community voices, and foster knowledge sharing among groups.

While Fenland groups haven’t received bespoke support like some other districts, this new project aims to rectify that. It will begin by engaging with existing groups, local residents, and other stakeholders to determine necessary changes to support charities and communities better. Drawing on their experience, the partners will provide more training, assistance, and opportunities for collaboration.

 

Mark Freeman, CEO at CCVS, shared his excitement, stating, “Fenland communities are already making significant contributions, and we are thrilled to see that with this funding from the National Lottery Communities Fund, we can complement existing efforts to enhance further and develop what works within the district.”

 

The project is poised to ensure that Fenland’s charities and community groups consistently have the resources and support necessary to cultivate healthier, happier communities.

This project would not be possible without the funding received from The National Lottery Community Fund.

Fenland Community Living Rooms – Want to be part of these new community spaces?

/by

After being successful with a ‘Know You Neighbourhood‘ funding application, Cambridgeshire ACRE is delighted to be able to support town and parish councils, village hall committees, church communities, local charities and other community groups to establish a network of Community Living Rooms in Fenland this autumn. These must run from publicly accessible community buildings, such as community centres, village halls, churches and their halls, older peoples’ day centres, youth centres and community libraries.

They are very similar to Warm Hubs, but the name ‘Warm Hubs’ has been changed to reflect community feedback and to ensure that the diverse needs of all visitors are considered. Cambridgeshire ACRE believes visitors will largely attend their local Community Living Room for companionship and to make social connections. However, loneliness is a complex issue, and attendees elsewhere have also been found to be experiencing poor health, with many having specific vulnerabilities, frailty, disability or poor mental health.

Cambridgeshire ACRE expects Community Living Rooms to reflect the needs of each community, so some might evolve out of groups that already meet, for example, you may already be holding a community café or coffee morning or breakfast club; some might be arranged around other activities such as a playgroup or older people’s / friendship club and others might be completely new in their set-up as a Community Living Room.

To become established, they need your community to identify a team of a minimum 3 volunteers and a publicly accessible community venue that can offer a warm and safe place where local people can expect a friendly and inclusive welcome.

Cambridgeshire ACRE’s offer to help you get your Community Living Room’s doors open includes:

 

  • A supported volunteering programme that will help you establish and run a Community Living Room that reflects the needs of your own community. Cambs ACRE will check building suitability; provide volunteers with training; give support with safeguarding and health & safety policies; and supply materials to promote your Community Living Room and its value to your community. There will also be monthly networking events so you can share ideas and experiences with others across Fenland.
  • A grant for two years to allow for building rental, heating, refreshments and any additional specialist equipment that might be needed to make your Community Living Room successful.
  • A team of ‘Village Agents’ who will be available at a parish level to provide help, support and solutions for the health and social care needs of those who might visit your Community Living Room.
  • Being part of a UK Government-funded project which will provide learning to others regarding approaches to supporting community loneliness and volunteering across the UK.

Would you like to know more?

Cambridgeshire ACRE invite you to join us for a short online event on Thursday 14 September 2023 at 6pm where they will present more information on Community Living Rooms; the support you will receive from us if you take part; and answer any questions you might have.
