Turning Heads is celebrating its 1-year anniversary of running a day service @ The Windmill Centre in Hele, Torquay. This has been a very busy first year and here just a few of our achievements so far: We have served over 3,800 meals from our community café. We welcomed 1,920 people to our Friday social group and of these 95 have been unique users. Over 50 people have attended regular weekly sessions in cooking, art, gardening, and wellbeing. We have run 144 cooking sessions and 48 Friday social group sessions. We have had HAF projects running over both Easter and Christmas holidays and offered free food to any child during school holidays. In addition to our daily opportunities, we have had two Jubilee parties entertaining 220 people and engaged in the community providing opportunities for anyone to get involved in through social prescribing and volunteer routes with the DWP. We have partnered with the DWP in providing bespoke work experience and work placements and provided school-based opportunities for Mayfield Sixth Form and Oakwood Court College. Through our community engagement projects we have secured funding to develop our ‘incredible edible’ allotment project in the grounds of the community centre and will continue to grow vegetables and provide them free to anyone living in the Hele area. This next year will see even more exciting things happening @ The Windmill Centre and our new development @ Victoria Park Methodist Church in Plainmoor. Thank you to all the staff and volunteers for making this possible. There are always opportunities for you to get involved, attend sessions, and learn new skills. We have highly skilled staff, and you are always guaranteed a warm welcome. Drop in and see us and see what we can offer.
