Info

• It is ranked in the 5% most deprived LSOA’s in England for Employment Deprivation, Health Deprivation and Disability and Crime. • Redcliffe South LSOA is ranked in the 10% most deprived LSOA’s in relation to Living Environment Deprivation and Income Deprivation Affecting Older People. • the 2016/2017 Bristol Joint Strategic Needs Assessment Identified Redcliffe as the only area in Bristol where over 55% of children live in low income families - the actual figure is 66% 2. Although more detailed analysis would be needed to confirm the details of this, some of the key statistics for Central Ward as a whole are likely to be relevant to Redcliffe South. These include: • significantly higher than the city average number of adults reporting that they need to develop skills in English, Maths, computer and technical skills and employability • significantly lower education standards than the city average at Key Stage 2 in reading, writing and Maths. What all of this means is that there are a significant number of residents on the Redcliffe Estate who face daily challenges. This may be because of physical and mental health problems, addictions, previous trauma, overcrowded and damp homes, language barriers, anti-social behaviour, fear of crime, low confidence, poverty, domestic abuse, worklessness, boredom. Some families have spent a year or more in emergency accommodation all over the city before getting their flat or maisonette in Redcliffe. Older people are housed next to people with serious mental health, drug or alcohol problems, reporting that they constantly feel unsafe and have no peace of mind when they are at home. Parents talk about the stress of trying to manage boisterous children in small confined spaces, for example, a single mother living in a two bedroomed flat with four children. Some families are relatively newly arrived in the UK, having had to leave their homes in Somalia or Sudan, and adapt to completely new lives, dealing with cultural and language barriers. 3.2 Community Assets This report seeks to highlight the assets Redcliffe has in terms of community facilities. However, Redcliffe has a great wealth of all types community assets. People attending a Partnership Workshop for organisations and community groups in Redcliffe in October 2017 said they love the following things about Redcliffe: 2 Joint Strategic Needs Assessment (JSNA) 2016-2017 Data profile of Health and Wellbeing in Bristol http://www.bristol.gov.uk/jsna 3
✓ Its variety ✓ Strength of community spirit ✓ Community groups and activities ✓ Closeness to the city ✓ The banana bridge ✓ The views ✓ Green spaces ✓ Redcliffe Caves ✓ Friends ✓ The gardening group ✓ People to talk to ✓ Its history ✓ The prospect of exciting new developments There is a strong community spirit, pride in the area, and some vibrant groups and organisations in Redcliffe. Partnership working between groups and organisations is continually developing. The workshop in October 2017 identified the following shared priorities for action: • Reducing social isolation – reaching people who struggle to connect and making it fun. • Improving the quality of life for children and young people • Making sure residents have a say and an ability to influence developments • Improving and protecting the outdoor environment and green spaces. Redcliffe also has a monthly Worker’s Lunch, facilitated by St Mary Redcliffe Church, which brings together paid workers and volunteers in local groups and organisations, to share information. More recently it has begun to take a more proactive role and explore working with an Asset Based Community Development Approach (ABCD). One important outcome of this has been Redcliffe Treasures, which is bringing residents together to identify and share the skills or ‘treasures’ which they have to offer within the local community to improve local quality of life. This work is ongoing and has already unearthed a wealth of skills, passions and opportunities. 4
