We look at “what’s wrong,” and we raise awareness about the issues and barriers facing individuals and families in our community. But starting with a problem can keep us from identifying the capabilities and strengths that are in each person, each family and every community – and that can limit opportunities for positive change and growth. A strength-based approach starts by asking “What’s right?” It focuses on the belief that every person has a unique set of strengths and capabilities -- that families and communities have the potential for growth and success. A strength-based approach recognizes that the power to change is within us – within us individually, within our community -- no matter what issues and barriers we face. At SIRCH we try to always take a strength-based approach. We look for solutions. We focus on positives. For many of our program participants, it may be the first time anyone has expressed a belief in their personal worth. Or in their ability to not just survive but thrive. It may be the first time someone recognizes their wisdom and expertise, born out of difficulty. This fundamental philosophical perspective, that everyone has value and strengths, guides all SIRCH activities. And so we work for change, undertaking to reduce barriers, unearth gifts and enable growth. Concentrating on a vision of “what’s right,” and “what’s possible,” the staff and volunteers nurture those in our programs – looking for their innate potential. Instead of dwelling on problems and seeing hopelessness, our strength-based approach focuses on opportunity, empowerment, capacity-building and hope. And that extends to volunteers, partners, and others. Likewise we look at our community and see the potential and our unique strengths and capabilities. It is this that will determine our community’s evolving story and define who we are - not our limitations. By solving challenges, we all create capacity. By valuing differences we can succeed in the essential need to collaborate – effective change is a collaborative, inclusive and participatory process. We are blessed to have a community that values collaboration and that gives back. We are overwhelmed at the generosity of this community. Our partnerships – with other agencies, businesses, government, service clubs, and others – have been amazing. In the last fiscal year, in-kind donations (food, space, staffing, services and more) amounted to over $235,000! We value our volunteers – ah, our volunteers! In the past fiscal year, SIRCH volunteers donated 7,936 hours and they drove 48,727 kilometres! And you have only to look at the back few pages of this report to know how much we appreciate our donors. Clearly we have a community that also looks for solutions, and recognizes that each of us has the power to change and succeed.

It was a life changing and life honouring process for many of volunteers and individuals. “It is one thing to have the pictures it is another to have the stories with the pictures. Without this project my stories would never have been written down. I realize how much I have accomplished in my life when I see it all together like this. I had no idea I had accomplished so much.” Participant Employment Security In 2009, SIRCH Community Services launched a Pilot Project entitled Sew Resourceful in hopes of bridging both tourism and the textile arts industry. With financial support from the Haliburton County Development Corporation, combined with extensive donated in-kind support, the project was able to interweave the issues of low income and employability with tourism and rural risk factors to: Create a durable support network for women Increase employability of at risk women Decrease the poverty rate among women in Haliburton County Increase skill development within the Arts sector Increase financial security of participants As an expansion of the Pilot Project in September of 2010, and with limited funding from the Public Health Agency of Canada, Sew Resourceful began Level 1 of the Building Capacity project – a three level, 40 week graduation course. The aim of Sew Resourceful – Building Capacity is to develop sustainable technical, life and business skills needed to increase the opportunity for employment and quality of life for every participant. An integral part of the curriculum focuses on the development of a social network, with the sole purpose being that the participants have the ability to create an artistic collective amongst themselves that can be carried forward after the project has ended and their employment/self-employment has begun. As of March 2011, 100% of participants state that they feel an increased level of confidence with regards to their employability skills Funded entirely on donations Programs and Services Pre & Post Natal The Canada Prenatal Nutrition Program (CPNP) is funded through Public Health Agency of Canada. SIRCH sponsors CPNP in the Tri County Region of Haliburton County, City of Kawartha Lakes and Northumberland County. To do so, we partner with the Ontario Early Years Centre of Haliburton, Victoria, Brock, and with the Northumberland Child Development Centre. In the past year CPNP groups provided pre and postnatal support to 150 expectant and breastfeeding women in the tri-county area. The CPNP groups provided education, nutritional support, food supplements, as well as a physical component designed to assist our pre and postnatal families with the options to ensure a healthy delivery and birth outcome. In Haliburton the group was delivered in partnership with the Haliburton Kawartha Pine Ridge District Health Unit with participation from Haliburton Midwifery Services, the Family Health Team, YWCA and 4 C’s Food Bank. Families with Young Children The Community Action Program for Children (CAPC) is funded through Public Health Agency of Canada. As with CPNP, SIRCH sponsors CAPC in the Tri County Region of Haliburton County, City of Kawartha Lakes and Northumberland County. To do so, we partner with the Ontario Early Years Centre of Haliburton, Victoria, Brock, and with the Northumberland Child Development Centre. In the past year in the tri-county area, CAPC groups have provided family supports, education and resources to 824 parents and caregivers of children age 6 and under. All groups had a nutritional and physical activity component ProgramsPrograms and Services and Services (continued) for both the adults and children in order to increase each family’s awareness about the benefits of making healthy lifestyle choices. In Haliburton County the CAPC group was delivered in partnership with Point in Time, YWCA, Dysart Township, as well as a multitude of service providers coming on-site to share their expertise. Haliburton also offered the School’s Cool program to children entering kindergarten to increase their school readiness skills. “SIRCH has been a model for other agencies who sponsor CAPC and CPNP in the Ontario Region, and nationally, by providing guidance and support through involvement in coalitions and sharing best practices. We at the Public Health Agency of Canada (PHAC) are proud and fortunate to be a partner to SIRCH and the staff, and wish them continued success in all their initiatives “ Suzanne Beaulieu, Program Consultant, Healthy Child Development Section, Public Health Agency of Canada School Readiness In Haliburton County children ages 3 to 5 years of age, take part in 2 or more School’s Cool programs during July and August. Although the location varies, the programs are held in one or more kindergarten classrooms of the Trillium Lakelands District School Board. The fun play-based activities prepare children for the challenges and opportunities of kindergarten. Children typically increase their language, math, self-help, psychological and social skills by up to one year in development over the six weeks of the program. Three trained instructors provide a low teacher-to-student ratio so all children receive quality time. Because instructors focus on each child’s strengths, it is a positive, often life-changing, experience for children. Children start school in the fall enthusiastic and ready for success. Funded through the Community Action Program for Children (CAPC), Public Health Agency of Canada, and through fundraising. Support Group, education, one-to-one volunteer bereavement support, referral and a lending library. The Hospice program is funded by the Central East Local Health Integration Network (LHIN), the Ministry of Health, and through significant fundraising efforts by SIRCH. Over the past year, 89 clients and 200 family members/caregivers were supported by Community Hospice. Clients ranged in age from 33 to 90 74% were women and 26% were men. Cancer continues to be the primary illness experienced by clients (69%). Thirty-seven trained Hospice Volunteers delivered emotional and practical support to individuals and caregivers, usually in the clients’ homes. In addition, they provided support in Haliburton Hospital’s Acute Care and in Highland Wood Long Term Care Facility as needed. Exceptional Circumstances Volunteer Program In May of 2010, the Board approved this new program to be run through the Hospice Program. It allows for some support of families or individuals who would not qualify for Hospice but have similar needs. Over the past year, 5 clients were provided with support. Clients ranged in age from 45 to 92 of which 60% were women and 40% were men. The volunteers provided friendly visiting, bereavement support, and respite for the caregiver. Memories to Life Memories to Life was a one year program funded by a grant from New Horizons. Trained volunteers assisted individuals with dementia to produce a memory book and /or DVD of photos and memorabilia. The program was designed to help the person with dementia retain their memories as along as possible and to help them feel a sense of self worth and belonging. The book/ DVD is also a memento for the family and future generations. Eleven participants were involved. A Celebration for the participants and their volunteers was held at the Haliburton Library. The participants were REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITOR ON THE SUMMARY FINANCIALSTATEMENTS Programs and Services (continued) Food Security In Haliburton County SIRCH’s Community Kitchen has been providing free, healthy meals to low income families, seniors and others in the community who need healthy food. In the Fall of 2010 the Kitchen moved to an entirely volunteer model and now boasts over 23 part time volunteers. A highly successful fundraising initiative in the Fall of 2010 garnered over $3,000 in donations to assist with purchasing and distributing meals and in May of 2011 a long term commitment from the Haliburton Rotary of $3,000 annually helps to keep the kitchen up and running. To date over 5,200 meals have been prepared and delivered with the Christmas goodie baskets being a favorite for recipients. An estimated 800 volunteer hours and over 200 volunteer kilometers have been donated. Dental Health This is an amazing story in a small rural community. Dentist Bill Kerr, his wife Lisa, and dental hygienist Lisa Stoughton had a vision of a dental clinic where low income families who couldn’t afford dental care could get urgent care at no cost. SIRCH was approached to help bring this vision to reality and the program is now under the SIRCH umbrella of services. After securing a site in Haliburton Village, donations of materials, equipment, labour and supplies flooded in. Dentists, dental assistants and hygienists, some with businesses in Haliburton County and some from outside the county, have volunteered their time to the Dental Outreach. Dental care will be provided at least two days a week, year-round.
