United Way Community Report 2011 • Thursday, April 19, 2012 - 3 

UNITED WAY COMMUNITY REPORT 2011 

Message from the President & CEO 

Pam Went and I are pleased to have this opportunity to 

thank the community for all its support, and to reflect 

on the accomplishments of the United Way in 2011. This 

is National Volunteer Week, and we would like to start 

by thanking you, the many volunteers of the United 

Way: our Board members, our Campaign team, our 

Committee volunteers, and the hundreds of others who 

lent a hand throughout the year. You and our generous 

donors have enabled the United Way to continue to be a 

vital and relevant organization providing resources and 

funding throughout the County. 

As leaders of the United Way, we are both proud of the 

work that this organization does. Our Annual Report 

To create a lasting positive 

impact in Northumberland 

County through leadership 

and partnerships that 

mobilize resources in 

response to human and 

social priorities. 

OShoot Photo by Peggy McCarthy 

provides a detailed and thorough overview of the past 

year highlighting our funded agencies, our grants, the 

programs and services we are involved in, and our 

annual campaign. Our Board and staff are committed to 

being accountable and transparent to the community. 

Enclosed you will find a pie chart that provides a 

detailed breakdown of how donor dollars and grants are 

invested. Our year-end financial statements are posted 

on our new website www.northumberlandunitedway. 

ca and can also be requested from our office. Next 

to the government, United Way continues to be the 

largest private funder of health and social services in 

the county. 

This past year, United Ways across Canada launched a 

new branding including a new tagline: Change starts 

here. As the saying goes, the only constant in life is 

change; and as an organization, we must be responsive 

to the changing needs in our community. To enable us 

to do so this last year, the Board of Directors focused on 

the development of a new Strategic Plan. We reviewed 

our mission, vision, and values and revised them to 

reflect who we are today and clearly state our direction 

for the future. This plan will guide us over the next 

three years, starting with a review our internal capacity 

and gathering the support of the community and our 

stakeholders for the direction we believe we must 

pursue. Most importantly, it frames the work that we 

must do to become a “community impact” organization, 

where the funds that we distribute are focused on 

community priorities and have a positive impact. 

We are thrilled to be recipients of a province-wide 

Ontario Trillium Foundation grant and be the lead on this 

initiative. It will move the “community impact” process 

forward for, not only ourselves, but also the United Ways 

in Leeds Grenville, Oxford County, and Sault Ste. Marie. 

You will hear more on this initiative in the future. 

Within Northumberland, there is a tremendous network 

of organizations that partner together to meet the needs 

of the residents of this vast county. We are pleased that 

the United Way, along with our funded agencies, is an 

active participant in this collaborative network which 

addresses important issues such as children services, 

poverty reduction, transportation, and more. 

Our funding and charitable partners in this work 

include: Northumberland County, (Food 4 All & Back 

Packs for Kids), The Ontario Trillium Foundation, the 

Government of Canada (Greenwood Coalition) and the 

Province of Ontario (211). We gratefully acknowledge 

their support. 

In closing, we thank you and our donors for your trust and 

support of the United Way. Together we build communities 

and create opportunities for better lives for the residents 

of Northumberland County. Change starts here! 

Our Mission Our Values Our Vision 

• We operate with transparency and 

accountability 

• We encourage and promote volunteerism and 

volunteer leadership 

• We recognize that our donors, our volunteers 

and our staff are essential to our success 

• We support innovation 

• We practice inclusion 

• We embrace the power of community partnerships 

We are an organization that benefits the lives 

of individuals and families in Northumberland 

County. To achieve this: 

• We focus on key communities priorities 

• We support the programs that create a 

positive impact 

• We partner to make our community stronger 

• We honour the values of all of our donors 

and volunteers

my son for the last 7 weeks. He enjoyed the tutoring 

sessions very much and is very happy to feel like he 

is finally grasping concepts that were previously so 

difficult for him. He is now more confident in his abilities 

and I see a difference in his attitude toward his school 

work and his demeanor on the whole. I am very pleased

NCCC: This young man is the 

product of a split family, an alcoholic, 

abusive mother, unresolved bullying 

at school and leaving home at 

the age of 16. “I was referred to 

the Northumberland Community 

Counselling Centre in 2010 and 

I had mixed emotions about the 

outcomes of this step. I started 

counselling, maintained an anger 

log, was encouraged to set goals 

and take responsibility for my actions 

and learned to resolve my problems. 

I learned that communicating is key 

and I am now more comfortable with 

asking for help and being open. I 

now have a more positive outlook 

and when I look out the window, I see 

how I want things to be.”

his story at the launch of the

Greenwood Coalition Report 

To Northumberland United Way AGM 

Greenwood Coalition has been experiencing some very positive signs that indicate 

volunteer-based outreach approach is changing the lives of people living in poverty 

in our community. We owe a great deal of gratitude to Northumberland United 

Way for providing administrative backup for us, as well as support in seeking and 

administering funding grants. This relationship has freed us to spend more of our 

time interacting with the people we serve. We thank the Ontario Trillium Foundation 

and Government of Canada for funding this year.

YMCA: “The TEAM program was there when I 

needed it the most. After having my daughter, 

I then knew I needed to really focus on making 

a better life for both of us. Luckily, the TEAM 

program was created and I enrolled. Being able 

to take my daughter to school each day, get my 

credits, meet others in the same situation as myself, 

as well as the support of the staff and fellow 

students , was truly a life changing experience. 

Because of TEAM, I graduated both high school 

and college and got a job in my field. My life is now 

going great and I have a bright future, all because I 

took the first step and enrolled in TEAM.” 

~ Amanda L, participant in TEAM 

(Teaching, Educating and Mothering) 

With this kind of support we have been able to provide weekly meals to 60 people per 

week, creative arts workshops and exhibitions, income support assistance, a dozen 

sets of dentures, regular, consistent healthcare through the Port Hope Community 

Health Centre, fresh-baked bread distribution, assistance with income tax returns 

for 30 people, access to mental health counseling, sharing of clothing and furniture, 

as well as a beautiful community garden. 

Recently a member of the Greenwood Tower motel community gave me a letter in 

which she had written about the contribution of GWC in her life, and her words 

suggest that we are accomplishing our goals of seeing positive change in the lives of 

people who struggle. 

“They accepted me for me, not what I was or what they wanted me to be. I am now a full 

person instead of an empty shell. They helped me a lot and now it’s time for me to help others 

in any way I can.”

The Help Centre: “Faced with our family being 

in financial crisis due to reduced employment, 

I was unsure where to turn for help. Our bills 

were piling up and we needed oil to heat our 

home and ensure that our home insurance was 

not compromised. A friend suggested the Help 

Centre where I was warmly welcomed and not 

judged for my predicament. They helped me 

with a budget and arranged for payment for the 

oil. They also suggested that I consider getting 

a Christmas hamper for the holiday season to 

allow me to focus my limited income on expenses 

and arrears. The Help Centre made things much 

easier for our family.” 

~ Susan S, a grateful Help Centre client 

• Their generous support has enabled the United Way to provide back packs full of supplies for 

distribution to both elementary and high school students throughout Northumberland County. 

Volunteer Fair – October 22, 2011 

Bary Witteveen, Info Northumberland beside, his booth at the Volunteer Fair on Saturday, October 22 

at the Cobourg Community Centre. There were 47 agencies at the fair showcasing their information 

and emphasizing the need for volunteers. In Northumberland, there are currently 95 organizations 

looking for volunteers with 191 volunteer opportunities, for a total of 2,437 volunteers needed to fill 

these positions. 

The Volunteer Fair offered local agencies the platform to showcase opportunities for volunteerism 

in the Northumberland area. Booths were set up to educate people on volunteerism and the 

wide variety of opportunities available in the community. Northumberland United Way and Info 

Northumberland provided support to this initiative. 

St. John Ambulance : In 2011, the St. John 

Ambulance Therapy Dogs were requested by 

a Northumberland County public school to 

conduct regular visits to a special education class. 

Among the students was a young boy who was 

experiencing emotional difficulties. Most recently, 

he had been petting a neighbour’s dog, but 

became upset and hit the animal when he was told 

that it was time for him to go home. After many 

visits by the Therapy Dog team over the months, 

this child showed a marked improvement in his 

emotional behaviour. While he did experience a 

number of outbursts, the boy began to recognize 

his emotional state and deal with his emotions 

effectively in order to participate in the dog’s visits. 

The teacher reported that the therapy dog became 

the motivation the little boy needed to make a 

significant advance in his social development.

Message from the Campaign Chair 

This past year has been an amazing adventure for me. As 

the 2011 Campaign Chair for Northumberland United Way, 

I have tried and been involved in many new and exciting 

things. My year was filled with activities like curling, dragon 

boating, Cougars games and a golf tournament. I stuffed 

backpacks, sampled stews and soups, toured local agencies 

and a food warehouse. I now have a much broader and deeper 

understanding about the community in which I live. 

My job involved going to businesses and industries to discuss 

in-house campaigns, touring Day of Caring sites, weekly 

on-air meetings with the crew at the local radio station, 

attending photo opportunities, contributing to the United 

Way Newsletter and much, much more. I enjoyed every single 

minute of it. 

I have had the pleasure of witnessing young and old alike 

coming together to support the cause in which they believe. 

I have seen the power of volunteerism and how incredibly 

important it is in a community. Believe me when I say 

that Northumberland is filled with active and committed 

volunteers whose contributions are enormous. 

As far as financial donations go, Northumberland County 

residents must have set the standards of compassion and 

generosity this year as they dug deep into their pockets to help 

out their neighbours, friends, co-workers and total strangers. I 

was astounded at the breadth of ways that people can give to 

their United Way. And I am most grateful as well. 

On behalf of all those who will benefit from the dollars raised 

during the campaign, I would like to thank you. Although 

my time as Campaign Chair has come to an end, I still plan 

to maintain my association with Northumberland United 

Way. In fact, I see it becoming even stronger than before. 

Thank you Northumberland for continuing to care, and as 

the scope of United Way continues to grow and develop 

to best suit the needs of our communities, I know that you 

will be there during every campaign to support this very 

worthwhile organization. 

Leading the Way Circle – Individuals 

Northumberland United Way would like to recognize our Leading the Way Circle donors. These individuals and businesses are leading the way for change in our community 

by making an annual donation of $1,000 or more. Change really does start here.

When you give at the leadership level of $1,000 or more, you’ll be recognized in our 

Leading the Way Circle. 

Membership in the Circle is available with an annual donation of $1,000 or more which 

equates to a gift of $83.33 per month. Members of the Circle will be recognized in our 

annual report, on our donor wall, and will be provided regular updates on how your 

donation is making a difference in the community. You will also be invited to special 

receptions and information meetings exclusive to members only. 

More than that, you’ll make an even bigger impact on the lives of many people across our 

county. Look at what your leadership gift can do:

attached to income sources

will improve their social and problem solving skills
