The growing cost of living crlsls and reduction on avallable funding streams has Impacted us orEanisatlonally. We reluctantly
were forced to make two redundancies at the end of the year, both from the food team due to the impact of 5igniflcant

Each year we are always 50 Eratefully reliant on the huge volume of food that is donated at Harvest tlme largely through

crlsis. Thls year was clearly a stru8gle for many to partlcipate, In the end 108 schools, businesses and churches contrlbuted
less than 12 tons of food, (down from 18.$ tons in the prevlous yearl. All contrlbutlon5 are gieatly appreciated and essentlal
to ensuring our food related servlce5 could respond to the needs of the local community. These food donations, combined
with contrlbutions from supermarkets and other food suppliers, resulted in a total redistributlon of 114.4 tons of food over
the yearl
Over the year, we gratefully recelved many flnanclal donations both large and small- all equally valued and appreclated In

We tontinued to deliver food to households in Bolton from our Food Hub. We continued to SÈÈ the cost-of-living crisis

doorstep deliveries or to go to CDllectlon polnls around Bolton. In total, over the year, we dlstributed 7,633 food parcels
as detailed in the projects below. The decrease in the rotal number of food parcels compared to last yeai is due to a change
to Local Welfare Provislors, a reduction of two food parce15 to one per household, and the closure of two Storehouse Pantry
venues. However, a5 shown below we can see that Storehouse Foodbank, where we have responslbllily over the referrals,
has Increased.

Every year many hundreds of children and young people in 8olton go mlssing from their family homes, from 5¢hool and
from the 'looked after, system. We developed RUNA in re5pon5e to Ihls problem. Bolton Council funds us to piovide a
'response' 5eNice which is triggered each time a 'missin8' repoit is filed. In so doing we wt)rk alongside Greater Manchester
Pollce IGMPI. 8olton Councll, the Complex Safe8uardlnB Team, Soclal Care, parents, carers and local schools to ensure
young people who go missing are returned safely and as quickly as possible. Our shared aim is to hear the volce of the child,
reduce mlsslng eplsodes, promote wellbeln8, monSlor and share appropriate intelligence 3nd to strlve agalnst exploitation.
The service provides advicei guldance and support to the chlldren ond young people who have gone mlsslng and those who
are at rlsk of runnln8 away.
Over our 2024125 financlal year, we are pleased lo report that 92Y• of our return Interviews with young people were offered
wlthln the 72-hour government tarBet and 56% conducted wlthln 72 hours. Our offer and completion rate remain hlgh
despite volume5 of Individual children reported misslng going up by 13%.
We were pleased to have malntalned a conslstently high level of performance on thls measure, desplte some Increased
respon5Ibilities with the a551stance of the Local Authorlty In attending strategy meetlngs and coordinating Mlssing from
Home Infoimation In the absen¢e of the Mlsslng from Home Coordinator for much of thls flnanclal year.
RUNA attended to 1,787 missln8 ineidents In 2024125, compared to 1,901 in the previous year. Numbers have decreased,
but more chlldren have been involved in mlsslng eplsodes. A Significant factor in thls change has been the introduction of
the Pollce's "Right Care Right Person" pollcy whereby less missing reports ère belng taken by the pollce If it Is not deemed
that the Informant has made approprlate enquiries to loc?te the child.
We attended to a total ot 728 missing young people last year. Th15 compares to 644 In the previous year and 530 rhe year
before that. Our overrldlng concern Is to do all we can to reduce the number of children 80ing mis51ng.
Of the 728 we worked wlth this year, 573 went m55sing from their home in 8olton and 155 were Looked After Children
(LAC'S) within the Care system. Last year, the aver?ge number of misslng episodes per ¢hild for children who live at home
was 2.0 (compared with 2.S in the previou5 yearl. For those who were LAC the flgure was 4.3 Icompared wlth 5.0 In the
prevlous yearl. Thls contlnues to illustrate that LAC experlence more missing episodes and requlre more support.
RUNA continue to receive positive feedback from parents, carers, residential care placements, soclal workers, suppoit
workers and school staff. One mother told a RUNA staff member'yhank you so so muth. You made her feel comfortable
and x doesn't normally get on with new people. Thank you so much. she rèally felt Ilke you heard her,, Staff from a
residential placement said, "we've worked around Greater Manchester for years and haven't seen a service that offers as
much as RUNA does for children reported rnlssing." One young person reflected that RUNA have helped him to
acknowledge that his cannabls use has led to hlm being reported mS5slng and ending up In unsafe situatSon5. 'RUNA helped

Reach Out offers practical and ÈmotSonal support, Informatlon and guidance to women involved In sex work in Bolton. The

Worklng closely with Social Servlce5, GMP and the NHS, our specialist support workers engage with women who are at risk
on the street a5 well as worklng wlth women in 'parlours'. Here they provide one-to-one safety and sexual health advice,
welfare, and harm reductlon support se55ions. Work to Identify hl8hly vulnerable tiaffitked women Is undeitaken, We also
provlde vulnerable women wlth contraceptlon and rape alarms when we can. In thls last year, the seivice was funded from
a Bolton CVS grant and from charltable donations. We are uncertaln about our free access to condoms continuing from
Aprll 2025,
In our work, the critical Support we provlde is often needed and wanted by women over many years before changes for
the better can be reallsed. We often find that sex work is the result of other issues In their live5, So, in helplng thern address
the problem, many of the women we support are also helped wlth past trauma from sex abuse, domestic violence, mental
and physical health, drug, alcohol, flnance, benelils, and debt issues. Where appropriate, we help the women address
Issues of attStude, thinking and behavloui. We also help them with training and employment and needs, iJsin8 a hollstlc
approach.
Reach Out has been instrumental in a dramètic and sustained reduction of street prostitution in Bolton over many years-
down from 170 known individuals in 2003 to the lower numbers we see today. We have had contact with 12 women who
have been street sex worklng. A further IZ women were supported in parlours and the community. In addition. we hav&
supported 2 women who are sex worklng Online. We hope In the next year to be able to develop the support we provide
to extend to those who are sex worklnE behlnd closed doors. So, although there was 5Ignlflcant varlatSon, users of thls
service were supported on 95 occasions. Although numbers seem lower thls year, there are many women we are working
with who have been involved in a sex for rent transaction. It Is hard to count these figures as women often only disclose
thls to U5 after having built up a relatlonship of trust first.

Thls year the Street Llfe Drop.in ha5 continued to grow In numbers wlth referrals coming In from a varlety of dlffèrent
agencie5 and organSsatlons, the most comlng from Houslng Options. We have notlced an increase in slngle homeless asylum
Seekers who have recently been granted leave to stay. Over the year we have seen more families havlng to resort to sofa
surfing with various family or friends that are un5Ultable which causes a lot of anxietvi Stress and tri¢tlon between those
who they are staying wlth. Again, we have seen a huge number of between 40 to SO Refugees/Asylum Seekers coming Into

FOR THE YEAR ENOED 31 MARCH 2025
To address the risk of fraud through management bias and override of controls, we.,
performed analytical procedure5 to identify any unusual or unexpected relationships,.
tested journal entries to Identify unusual transactions,. ènd
assessed whether judgements and assumptions made in determlnlng the accountlnB estlmates were Indl¢atlve or
potentlal bSas.
In response to the risk of Irregularltles and non-compliance with laws and regulation5, we deslgned procedures whlch
In¢luded, but were not limiterj 10:
agreelng flnanc5al statement disclosures to underlylng supportln8 documentatlon,.
readln8 the mlnvtes of meetlngs of those charged wlth governance,. and
enquiring of management a5 to actual and potential litlEation and claims.
There are inherent limitations in our audlt procedures described above. The more removed that laws and regulations are
from finanelal transactions, the less Ilkely It Is that we would become aware of non-compliance. Auditing standards also
Ilmit the audit procedures requlred to Identlfy non-compllance wlth laws and regulations to enqulry of the dlrectors and
other mana8ement and the inspectlon of regulatory and legal correspondence. if any.
Material misstatements that arise due to fraud can be harder to detect than those that arise from error as they may Involve
deliberate concealment or collLfrslon.
