Caring for Communities and People (CCP) exists to transform the lives of children. young people, families and vulnerable adults by reducing the impact and consequences Df homelessness. family breakdown, poverty and wider social exclusion. We seek firstly to prevent, then lo mitigale the influence of Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACES) which otherwise contribule to a recurring cycle of social deprivation. In the year we have supported 9,926 individuals and families, an increase of 17'A from Ihe previous year, Across all our services, of those who reported a health condition, mental health was identified as being the single most prevalent issue, wilh 55/• of our people reporting varying levels of mental health issues ranging from mild to severe. Anxiety and depression accounts for 33'A of reported menlal health issues. How do we do it? Our principal approach is to tender for contracts for the provision of Health and Social Care services for which local authorities have a slalulory responsibility. We specialise in offering Accommodation Based Services to homeless individuals, Community Based Services for people in need who live in Iheir own homes and preventative Family Based Services. Where we identily unmel needs or opportunilies to achieve better outcomes for people accessing our contracted services, we will seek to secure addilional grant or trust funding for specific purpD5es. This may include whole project funding, such as our current Gloucestershire Reaching Families project, which is delivered through the National Lottery Community Fund, or through value added to contracted Services, such as granl-funded growing projects that leach young people in our supported accommodation about healthy ealing and the environment.

Over lime, Jay applied for his own accommodation and secured private accommodation in the town centre. Unfortunately, this did not work out and Jay was found wandering the slreets. homeless yet again. Hitting an all time low, Jay was actually spurred on to make more of an efforl to receive support and be less dependenl.

CASE STUDY Adam was in custody when he was referred to CCP'S ATLAS programme, which provides housing-relaled support lo offender5, prior lo their release. who have a significant history of offending and with a housing-related need. Adam was very anxious about being released, acknowledging that he was highly likely lo go back to his 'old ways, if he didn't make the most of the support or secure accommodation. The ATLAS team planned the support with Adam and identified slable accommodation was the key priority, together with specialisl intervention to help him 'stay clean, when out of prison. Adam was attending Narcotics Anonymous during his cuslody and doing so well that he had been assigned as a mentor to other prisoners, On the day of Adam's release from prison a placement was offered which enabled the ATLAS team to have relevant su pport in place whilst seeking permanent accommodation through the Council. Many of the basic needs were met through setting Adam up with Housing Benefil, purchasing a mobile phone so he was contactable and buying new clothes to help Adam feel good aboul himself. Adam remained keenly focused on recovery and was atlending daily meetings. A local Drug & Alcohol charity was contacted who offered Adam a 'dry house,. This was a significantly positive move as it oflered Adam both the accommodation and tailored supporl he needed in the safest environment enabling him to rebuild his life. The ATLAS team secured Ihe deposit through their crisis fund and Adam moved in. Adam is now thriving. He recently delivered a 'lived experience, presentation to a group of police officers and wishes to build on this by delivering talks to Young Offenders to convey his experiences lo young people lo try and help them avoid the same pitfalls.

We enable families to make positive changes to ensure families are resilienl and connected to their wider community. We do this through slrength-based whole family support, Positive Parenling training and community support groups. We support family members to". Reduce chaotic lifestyles a nd establish routines such as breakfast before school, homework, reasonable bedtimes. lime for parents to relax Adopt healthy lifestyles and improve their emotional and physical wellbeing Improve relationships between family members. parents and children Manage children's behaviour and antisocial behaviour Implement evidence-based parenting skills Recognise the value ol positive play and attachment U ndersland the process and have their voices heard in child protection cases Access wider services and engage in community-based activities and peer support groups In the last year we provided direct support and intervention lo 336 families. 221 families attended positive parenting training courses, and we advocated on behalf of 174 families subject lo child protection proceedings, making a total of 731 families supported. CASE STUDY During the delivery ol a National Lottery lunded Reachlng Familles programme, the team of family workers noticed an increased need for peer support for the wider community of parents in the more rural areas of the county. Typically, rural communities are more isolated, with fewer networks and access to public Iransport. Younger families reported struggling with feeling isolated from support and it became increasingly apparent, through consultation, thal both a parenting group and a Stay and Play group would be beneficial In connecting and supporting young families in a sustainable way. CCP partnered with a local school and set up a 10-week parentlng programme, offering essenlial information and advice ors topics that families had said they were having difficulty with. Following the course, parents fell they had really benefitted and reported feeling more confident in their abilities. Parenls have since met monthly to continue working together, whilst CCP attend sessions and ofler ongoing support. I n addition, a weekly Stay a nd Play group enabled isolated families lo come together and for their children to interact with each other and further their social skills and development, Two CCP volunteers help deliver these se55ions and through this resource, the group and CCP are continually reaching out to new families to offer both community support and one-lo-one family work for struggling parents. Cost of Living Crisis The cost of living crisis remains a significant economic challenge for growing numbers of people, with many who reach our doors having nowhere else to turn. Membership of our Community Pantry has risen by a third in the last year from 149 members lo over 200 members visiting weekly. Debl is a significant burden amongst the people we serve, with many taking on debt, often unsecured. to pay rents and for essential living. Page 6
CARING FOR COMMUNITIES AND PEOPLE REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024 ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE Cost of living crisis - continued We were heartened, Iherefore, to be able to assist a small number of individuals with debl that was highly likely lo lead to eviction and homele55nes5 through funds raised via the CCP Big Sleepoul in the previous year. Support workers, laced with ever increasing workloads and often insoluble problems lo remedy, determine that a family or individual is at risk of losing their home, due to debt, and, where all other avenues have been explored, accessed the Sleepout fund to pay a debt off and as an immediale solution to prevent an episode of homelessness. In total. 43 individual grants were issued totalling £42,000. Feedback from fund beneficiaries included: "rhank you for getting my rent arrears paid, it's so very kind of you, I will always be grateful for your support., V.C. "Just wanted lo inform you that the fridge/freezer has just arrived. The washing machine is delayed but is coming on Monday. We all wanted lo say a massive. massive thank you. We can't appreciate il enough., K.D. 'By gelling the flooring done it's made a big difference lo my mum and sisler as they can live normally now, and it prevents them from cold as there was just concrele flooring before. It was a huge help and my mum appreciated it., M.P. "Honestly, I cannot thank CCP enough, I could honestly cry that someone so kind-hearled like yourself Can allow me lo see the lighl at the end of the tunnel., K.T. We were immensely proud to be chosen by ten-year-old Layla Boydell who walked 13.1 miles in ald of CCP, raising £2,470.70 towards our Cost-of-Living fund (more than 10 times that of her original goal!). Her actlons speak just as loud as her words I wanted to raise money for people who are struggling in my community" The funds supported the Communily Pantry to ensure it can cope with the increasing membership numbers. In the process of walking the half marathon, Layla also earned the Charities Interest for the 36th Cheltenham (St Nicholas) Brownies. Soclal Value Volunteering With a slrapline of 'Everyone can be someone lo someone, Be There" emphasises the community driven spiril of volunteering, where volunteering begins as the simple act of'being a good neighbour,. The public relaunch of 'Be There" also coincides with an internal review of volunteering practice to simplify the application process and expedite volunteers into key services. There is a national downward trend lowards both volunteering activiiy and the quality of experience for those who do volunteer, as sel out in the 'Time Well Spent, reporl released in 2023 by National Council of Voluntary Organisalions (NCVOI. The key findings from the report indicate that. post pandemic. instances of volunteering for the public are lower, and as little as half within some volunteering activities. Still. CCP volunteers contributed 7,745 hours in the year, equivalent to an additional £120,822 in social value. Social Value - Student Placements In the year, we worked with universities and other education providers to place 41 studenls across our services lo add experlise and capacity.

From rambling to wild camping. the trip was filled with thrilling activilies. The gorge walk proved to be one of the more chaLLenging tasks, but the team stuck to il a nd helped those who found it tricky to navigate the running waters. Trips like these develop and inspire young people to be courageous and try things which would have previously been out of their comfort zone. Keeping active throughout Ihe week had a noticeable positive effect on the mental wellbeing of all members and, despite the odd bil of British weather. the team was always positive with smiles on their faces. They were also building resilience and social skills, interacting with likeminded people of all ages and backgrounds, all brought together by CCP.
