1.LO2 my social action production videoTask 1 Henley YMCA provides a range of facilities and activities for the community. These include housing for young people, an active living centre with a diverse set of classes, floodlit five-a-side football on a state of the art Soccer Real 60 football pitch, men and ladies senior football with provision for those with learning disabilities, plus youth events. The Henley YMCA was first introduced into the community in 1857. Over the years, its work has been located at a number of sites across the town, providing activities and meeting places for young people as well as sports and leisure activities for the wider community. In response to changing needs, in the 1990s the YMCA decided to develop part of its site to provide affordable housing for young people with a Henley connection. Her Royal Highness, the Duchess of Gloucester opened the scheme of 31 self-contained studio apartments and flats in October 2000.Aims and objectives; The aims and objectives of the Henley youth centre is to encourage young people toparticipate in more social activities like sports groups as well as many other actions. As well as providing things foryoung people to do it also allows parents to have more freedom while the YMCA volunteer staff set out all theequipment in preparation for the events ahead. The YMCA estate provides housing for mainly money troubledpartners as well as single parents/guardians.Social;The YMCA in Henley was invented by George Williams who believed in this project strongly. The YMCAnowadays offers a great social life for the youngsters as the can all commute through the activities given from theYMCA. The YMCA has travelled all through Henley and many people know about it.Personal and political issues;Ethical considerations; the moral philosophy of the YMCA is to treat everyone respectably and in an appropriatemanor and so forth.Community resources and characteristics; The YMCA community provides shelter (hall) for the youths to go in andchill if its raining or if there are activities going on. Other resources are the playing field, the woods and tenniscourt and housing.

2. Access issues;for anyone who is a resident of Henley On Thames will find it easy to get to as its near one of thelocal supermarkets, Tesco. It is also in a safe area which makes it more of a small community. If people outsideof Henley wish to attend some of the YMCA events it can be accessed through busses and trains however these arenot through the YMCA community. They are public Oxfordshire transport. There is a car park at the YMCA forpeople to park their cars if they wish to drive including staff.Existing comparable work;after a lesson of research I found several other videos on YouTube on the YMCA. TheYMCA assistance is based all over the UK, but the Henley YMCA has their own official websites as do other placeswith involvement of the YMCA.RE: http://www.sueryder.org/About-us/Our-vision-values Our missionAt Sue Ryder were passionate about giving people the care theywant.That is why we...push the boundariesdo the right thingmake our future togetherSome people believe that once you have a life-changing illness, theres little left.We dont.We believe its the beginning of a new stage of life.

Sue Ryder treats people with serious illnesses of any age. Their aimis to raise money by hosting several events throughout the year; however Sue Ryder is part of a bigger charitywhich is plotted all over the UK not just Nettlebed/Henley alone.Social;The local community hosts several fund raising events these include: Jumble sales, cake sales, and foodsales. These occasions take part every other month. Volunteers help run this event smoothly.

It has itsown private land and is based near the woods. Anyone can easily get their via car, bus. 3. Existing comparable work; the main competitors with this local charity are obviously the other charities built overthe UK. Other comparable work would be charities like Cancer research, Oxfam and Caffod.Camp Mohawk is a multi-functional day centerfor special needs children, set in 5 acres ofbeautiful countryside, just outside Wargrave,Berkshire. Throughout the year the centerprovides a range of activities, facilities andnatural space to encourage children with avariety of special needs to play, socialize andlearn in a secure and caring environment.Aims and objectives;camp Mohawk has five acres of land just outside of Berkshire.

The camp is set out to be a camp where the children can enjoy themselves and have fun but alsodevelop fine gross motor skills these are basic things most people can do by the age of seven.Access issue;Camp Mohawk has a bus where they take the children out for day outs. Other than that CampMohawk is quite easily accessible, however it is just outside the Wargrave. The camp is stretched over five acresof land involving numerous activities within the camp.Existing comparable work;Camp Mohawk has many competitors however that arent really competitors as suchbecause each camp for special needs people is different in so many ways. The camps want the best for theirchildren and try to remain at a professional standard. Wargrave Camp Mohawk is the most local social action,camp closest to Henley On Thames. 4. Henley Townlands hospital is Henleys only local hospital. It has been feared that it would be shut down for many years! As locals have strongly protested about this matter the Hospital is now being feared that the locals will no longer have a space for their parked cars as the council/ hospital plan to build a bigger car park on the main road which will disturb all the local residents. Community hospitals often act as a bridge between hospital and home, particularly for elderly patients who may need rehabilitation to help them regain their independence as they recover from an illness. The hospital offers:A 16 bedded unit comprising of seven siderooms and two bay areas on a single ward.Older Adult and Adult Community MentalHealth teams.Dental services.Out patient clinics.Occupational Health services.Physiotherapy.Podiatry.X-ray services (part time).Minor Injuries Unit (MIU) open between9.00am-8.00pm daily, Tel: 01491 637435.Out of hours service (this is an appointmentAims and objectives; their aim is extend the hospital car park so that it is a share of the main road where localsonly service).live. The council have decided they are going to build a four story car park and extend more of the hospital. NotSpeech and language therapy.only will this mean the ambulances will constantly be going off outside peoples houses but the Nettlebed SueRyder is also being moved just behind the hospital on the green.Social;Hospital is welcome to anyone.
