Single
Regeneration Budget V (SRB V)
The Single Regeneration Budget supports
regeneration initiatives to improve the quality of
life of people living in deprived areas by reducing
the gap between have and have-nots.
It supports projects aimed at:
- Improving the employment prospects, education
and skills of local people
- Addressing social exclusion an improving opportunities
for the disadvantaged
- Promoting sustainable regeneration, improve
and protect the environment and infrastructure,
including housing
- Supporting and promoting growth in local economies
and businesses
- Reducing crime and drug abuse and improve community
safety
SRB is delivered through the regional development
agencies – in the Island’s case SEEDA.
More than 900 schemes have been approved nationally,
worth over £5.5 billion.
SRB comes in six annual rounds. The Isle of Wight
Economic Partnership co-ordinates and facilitates
four of those on the Island.
SRB V - Island Inclusive
Started in 1998, Island
Inclusive funding runs until 2004.
SRB V supports a range of projects across the Isle
of Wight. They are:
24-hour Domestic Violence Helpline
 The Helpline is available to victims of domestic
violence on a 24 hour basis for advice, support
as well as, if needed, direct access to a refuge.
Although
the Helpline was already up and running SRB funding
was sought in order to develop its potential through
advertising, expansion, training and mentoring
of the volunteer team.
A dedicated co-ordinator could be appointed to forge
greater links with other agencies that would be able
to use the Helpline as a resource, making sure that
the Helpline reaches its full potential.

Back to top ^^ Adelaide Community Project
This project carried out a detailed appraisal and
financial feasibility study to determine the viability
of a proposed project to regenerate the existing
redundant Adelaide Nursing Home site in Ryde. The study was designed to assess and design a project
that would provide community facilities. This was
adjudged to probably be two buildings to accommodate
outside organisations that would be able to bring
their services to the local community e.g. childcare,
GP services, citizen’s advice services etc.
Play facilities were also to be considered as well
as housing for both the public and private housing
sectors.

Back to top ^^ Brading Community Development Project
The broad aim of this project is to support both
community development and project development
in Brading. This is achieved by providing extra
support
to the Town Clerk and by extending the opening
hours of the Town Council Community Office. The Town Clerk’s time will be freed to work
on new community development projects by employing
a part-time member of staff to carry out work within
the parish.
It was evident in the first year of the Community
Office being open that demand was higher than expected.
Therefore the other strand of this bid will enable
the needs of the community to be met by staffing
the office for longer hours.

Back to top ^^ CCTV
The aim of this project was to carry out a feasibility
study to ascertain whether or not Closed Circuit
Television (CCTV) would be an appropriate crime prevention
tool in seaside towns on the Island. This followed
the method being highlighted in the Isle of Wight
Community safety strategy 1999 – 2002 document. Seaside towns on the Island are known to have higher
than average petty crime rates. The feasibility study
was designed to show whether the residents and visitors
to those towns would benefit from CCTV enough for
the cost not to be prohibitive. The study also tied
in to the prevention work done by the Community Safety
Partnership.

Back to top ^^ Comment
By establishing an accredited mentoring programme
that works in partnership with other agencies and
organisations, Comment will help to prevent disaffection
from education, training and employment. The Comment
project will research accredited training for mentors
and train a co-ordinator to support the Island-wide
mentoring network. The project will also provide
the training for the basic generic skills required
for mentors. More specific skill requirements will
be met by the co-ordinator. Mentors – accredited by the National Children’s
Bureau Training course - who work with students to
achieve qualifications will also support long-term
unemployed back into sustainable work.

Back to top ^^ Cross Solent Travel
The Solent is one of the key attractions for people
wishing to live on the Island, the fact that the
Island is separate from the mainland can be a huge
factor. However the cost of crossing the strip of
water can also be a problem. The Cross Solent study
is part of a cohesive approach to improving transport
across the Island as a whole – built up and
rural areas alike. The study was designed to develop proposals for
a subsidised Cross Solent travel initiative, consisting
of:
- Market assessment – to determine
the size, characteristics and cost analysis of
Cross
Solent travel
-
Island comparison – to contrast and compare
the Isle of Wight situation with other UK islands
-
Subsidised travel proposal – to develop fully
costed proposals for subsidising travel for socially
excluded groups

Back to top ^^ Defining Play
Due to the high cost of maintenance there is a
lack of good quality play and recreational facilities
across the Island for all ages. This project aims
to carry out an audit of all play and recreational
spaces, sports areas and open spaces on the Island
as well as establishing a collaborative, co-ordinated,
Island-wide strategy for the development of all
play
and open spaces. This strategy would seek to raise awareness about
the importance of play, sport and recreational facilities
and gain a commitment from statutory agencies, private
developers, housing associations and community groups
to develop links and work together to plan sustainable
play and recreational developments.

Back to top ^^ Furze Brake Day Care
This project aims to reduce the social exclusion
of the elderly throughout the Mountjoy area of
Newport. This is achieved by creating a lunch
club and day
care facilities within the Furze Brake centre.
The activities provided encourage social inclusion
and
healthy living, including health and nutrition
clinics, advice on benefits, social activities
and outings. Inter-generational activities are also integral
to the project’s success. These are promoted
through the involvement of young people in health
and social care training, therefore providing them
with new employment skills and opportunities. Links
are also developed with local schools which provide
important social skills to students involved in the
scheme.

Back to top ^^ Improving Parent Support
The purpose of this project is to evolve an Island-wide
baseline position encompassing the quantity, accessibility
and quality of current services, thereby leading
to the effective development of future parent and
family support programmes and initiatives. Gaps in provision will be highlighted and a publication
will be developed for parents so that they can be
made aware of what support there is available to
them should the need ever arise.
The information gained will be used to prevent/support
in the event of, family crisis, prevent family breakdown
and the long-term impact of social exclusion on the
communities across the Island.

Back to top ^^ Interact
Interact, developed by the Hampton Trust, aims
to reduce youth crime by early intervention and
by offering
support to break the cycle of re-offending. A co-ordinator
was appointed, an office established and a range
of links made with appropriate agencies such as
Comment and Connexions. The support it gives includes changing the attitudes
of young criminals and encouraging positive behaviour.
With the help of a team of trained volunteers, the
project helps them meet their personal goals.
