To help residents achieve a set standard of social purpose. Harvest Community Haven CIC provides food bank for the community. A warm space in the cold months for members of the community to sit and have a chat, a hot drink and talk to a friendly face. Support families who have children with toys, games, and activities, provide social engagement such as a youth club, over 55s group and Mother and Baby group. The organisation will act as a haven and a source of community engagement-multi-provisional hub also as a deterrent or a preventative tool with regards to tackling isolation and loneliness and by extension mental health related challenges will also be addressed especially among communities where mental health is a huge taboo subject.  Recreation and leisure services (e.g. Community library, community garden etc)  Community Café  Youth centres or empowerment projects  Network/collaborations with other local groups and organisations  Skills and training services  Health and social care services  Welfare or advisory services for vulnerable or disadvantaged people We operate from the Harvest Resource Centre at 154 Queens Road NG9 2FF We identify the people who use our services through word of mouth in the community, local collaborations with other agencies and projects such as social prescribers and support groups.
