The Seavlew Project
Trustees. Report
For the Year ended 31 March 2023
How Seavlew be8•n
At the tirne of Care in the Communty, a number of people who had been used to instltutional
living due to mental health problems were unable to cope with the sudden change and
inadequate support and found themselves isolated and lonely, living in bed and breakfast
accommodation, houses of multiple occupation and. in some cases even homeless. Some
parents ènd relatives rallied round and provided an open access wellbeing centTe at the heart
of St. Leonards on Sea. The centre was set up by Helene White and Barbara Silve5ter. with
the help of Jane Amstad in February 1985.
Seaview's inceptlon wa5 an organic voluntary sector initiative, creating responsive local
support. To this day there has been a constant effort to maintain the ethos of Seaview and
SUPPOrtive pathway to wellbeing and recovery. Seaview has a dedicated group of paid staff,
peer worker5 and volunteers, all of whom contribute to provlding much needed siJPPOrt to its
beneficiaries.
As well as the dedicated personal 5UPPOrt given by 5eaview to all who access its services, there
has been o planned growth and development of the organisation itself. Itwas not long before
Seaview became a registered charity in August 1985 and a company limited by guarantee in

support to the staff teams and who comply with all the regulations that apply to charities and

Wellbelng centre
Since 1985 Seaview has been providing an open access wellbeing centre at the heart of St
Leonards on Sea. It is a vibrant place that is all about helping people to achieve their full
potential. We use the "stren8ths" approach which focuses on the potential within people.
The philosophy is one of 'can do, rather than 'don't do,, and this is always both exciting and
challenging.
People use our wellbeing centre for a variety of reasons, and none are more important than
having a place to be, somewhere to drop in to. away from the pressure5 of the world. One of
Seaview's core values Is a belief that Warmth from one human being to another can brin8
bout positive change, We have been facilitating this process over many year5. Not everyone
agrees with a hierarchy of human needs. but few would dispute the vital importance of people
receivin8 food, drink, shelter. warmth ond clothes.
Ourwellbeln8 centre provides all of these and much more. Our dedlcated team is focussed on
helpin8 clients achieve personal growth and fulfilment. This Is done consideratety and at each
person'5 own pace with support plannin& one to one's, support groups and a range of
activities that are provided in response to clients, regular feedback from monthly service user
groups. The Wellbein8 Centre 15 the hub and first point of access for many people who access
other Seaview service5 and are often referred to variou5 partner services in response to their
needs and wi5he5.
Peer support: RADAR (Refocus, Asses5, Develop, Activate, Recover) is our team of paid and
volunteer Peer Support Workers devising groups and healthy activities focu55ed on recovery
fyom mental health issues and addictions. These include Peer led wellbeing Bfoup5, Art
project5, a music group, gym sessions and health walks. The "Seaview's Got Talenv, events,
the Christmas Carol cOn￿rt and other events give the 5eaview choir a focus to rehearse and
prepare for performances.
RSI: Houslng First & Rough Sleepets Outre•ch Ser¥lce: This service commenced in October
2018 and offers SUPWrt to rough sleeper5 who experience complex health and social
problems. helping them to move into their own accommodation and providing intensive
SUPPOrt to mana8e theirtenancies. This se￿iCe was put out to tenderfor a countywide setvice
and Southdown took over this service during the autumn of 2022.
Seaview Ac¢ornmod?tlon Support Service {SASS): Our team works with former entrenched
rough 51eeper5 to provide support to sustain tenancies and prevent the revofving door of
homelessness. The work Includes dealing with rent arrears, antl-social behaviour and disputes

with landloTds. Our approach is to build soclal sUPPOrt, encouraging clients to make use of
local community assets.
Rough Sleepers Outreach Ser¥Fce'. Although Seaview has ceased delivering rotsgh sleeper
outreach Services for RSI, we continue to provide an out of hours outreach service to rough
sleepers to verify and check on their welfare, inviting them into Seaview and referring them
to other service5 for ongoing support. Our workers cover Ha5tings and St. Leonard'5. The
5etvice is one of several charities cornmissioned by the Foreshore Trust.
Street En£a8ement SeThke: We provide regular daytime oirtreach se55ion5 to the street
community, engaging people, linking them into vital health, housing and wellbeing services as
well as Inviting them to use the various facilities and participate in activities at our Wellbeing
Centre.
Digltal Incluslon: Seaview have been working closely with Citizens Advice 1066, local libraries,
and Good Things Foundation. During 2022-2023 Seaview provided digitsl inclusion support
out of the wellbeing centre and on an outreach basis, supporting clients to access digital by
supplyin8 them with their own devlces and by using the computer suite at Seaview.
Healthcare.. Seaview enjoys a close partnership with St John Ambulance Homeless Healthcare
Service in the pmvision of our Health Care Programme. The main provision of the Homeless
Healthcare Service is nurse-led drop-in clinics, four days a week at the Southwater Centre,
where St John has its own CQC registered treatment room. Clients can see a nurse and/or
podiatrist and a general volunteer about any medical issue. Every session in this service 15
nur5e-led, and the team mernbers will deal directly with issues as far as p055ible, providing
health advice, podiatry, wound care, health promotion Iboth on an indivi(Jual basis and in
group education sessions) and general support. but are careful to refer on to clients, GPS or
to more specialised or secondary care services where appropriate.
The Project Adder partnership has resulted in a nurse led clinic being delivered out of
Seaview's Wellbeing Centre to encourage drug users to access treatment and rebuild thelr
live5. This clinic 15 popular and helps drug users to access support in a more informal settin8.
Hepatltls C Clinlc: Seaview ha5 enjoyed the opportunity of hosting the University of Su55ex
with a treatment facility being delivered out of the Wellbeing Centre. An experienced
research fellow, Dr Adele Mourad has been working at Seaview to do screening for HIV,
Hepatitis C and immunisations for Hepatitls 8. Sessions have been held weekly to facilitate
regular treatment for hard-to-reach clients who would find it hard to attend a series of regular
hospital appointments. As thi5 clinic has drawn to a close, we are grateful to Craig Brick and
the team from the Hep C trust who continues to support patient5 in need of screening and
treatment on an ad hoc basis at Seavlew.
Food Bank and food dèlivery service: In response to many people attending Seaview in a Cfi515
we have continued to stock our own food bankwhich enables ourservices to provide groceries
to those in need directly. It ha5 been realty good to be able to deliver hot meals to people in
Temporary Accommodation too although this has been scaled back this year.
Our rough sleeper outreach service has been providing food in the form of snacks, bottled
drinks, sun cream. mobile phones and chargers which all help5 to sustain them while the
search for accommodation continues.

Financlal Revlew
Total income for the year was £889,47412022.' £806,530). Total expenditure was £782,073
12022.. E705,1361- At the year£nd there were unrestrirted funds of £348,468 12022:
£342,081), designated funds of £420,1)0012022.. £420,000) and restricted funds of £252,820
12022.. £151,804).
An overall balanced budget had been anticipated for 2022-23, and a surplus was ultimately
realised due to a higher-than-expected level of legacies a5 well a5 restricted funds received
for new and ongoing projects which are carried forward into 2022-23. Servi￿$ expanded
during the year as can be seen in the increase in staff numbers and expenditure, and the
Surplus has enabled us to match fund services whilst also maintaining the target of six months.
running costs, as well as designated reserves levels which are required for expected or
potential future costs.
Inveslment Pollcy
Aside from retaining a prudent arnount in reserves each year, the charity's funds are
committed to maintaining client service5. No funds are currently available for long term
investment.
Reserves Policy
The trustee5 believe that the charity should hold financial reserves because.,
• The charity has no endowment funding and is entirely dependent for Income on donor
funding from year to year. which is inevitably subject to fluctuation.

• The charity requires protection against, and the ability to continue operatin& despite
catastrophic or lesser but damaging events.
Ideally the minlmum level of free reserves should be the equivalent of a minimum of 6
months, operating costs calculated and reviewed annually. However an additional obligation
to provide match funding alongside some of the grants for cole services is placing an
additional burden on the charily's reserves. At the year end the attual level of unrestricted
reserves was increased to £348,468 which equates to around 6 months, running Costs and the
designated funds (see note 12 below) were £420,000. The trustees plan to maintain this level
of unrestricted reserves in the following years if p055ible. Of note, Seaview has financial
obligations relating to the lease, which require it to continue with a programme of investment
and renewal in its current premises. Whilst these obligation5 are significant. they will enhance
the building for the benefit of clients and staff.
Public Beneflt
The directors have had regard for the Charity Commission guidance on public benefit and the
charity ha5 demonstrated its commitment to providing public benefit through the services
outlined in this report.
