Charity Annual Report 2023-2024
Introduction
The past year has been a transforniative period for our charity- We faced significant challenges, but thanks to
our dedicated team of volunteers, staff, and partners. we continued to support individuals and f￿nilleS across
various areas, including food poverty, mental health, domestic abuse. and community engagement.
Activilies
l. Food Poverty and Community Support
Community Pantry
We served J80 members and facilitaied around 200 shopping visits per month. This initiative has contributed
£1 1,000 to our core funding over the year. We successfully transferred all memberships to an automated till
system.
Foodbank
Our foodbank supported over J,000 individuals. including the homeless: those living in temporary
accommodation. and people facing delays in income. We are proud to be the onl}, foodbank in the area that
allows self-referral and also works closely with social services and housing providers to assist families in crisis.
Local Food Donations
We received continuous support from local superniarkets and businesses, with surplus food donated regularly.
Schools, churches, local businesse5 and countless individuals also contributed to our food poverty projects,
making a significant difference in the community.
2. Domestie Abuse and Emotional Support Services
Salcare offered a mix of group and individual support sessions, including art therapy and the Freedom
Programrne. A new initiative this year was the increase in group sessions to accommodate more clients, with a
special focus on reducing the waiting list.

events and networking-

Challenges and Barriers to Service

communicating more frequently with referrers aboul waiting times and capacity. The rise in demand highlights
the importance of expanding the servic¢ to accommodai¢ more children and young people, ensuring timely
supp)rt. In the coming year, we plan to:
.Expand outreaeh efforts to engage more older teenagers and young adults, focusing on raising awareness
about domestic abuse in relationships among this demographic.
.Inerease capacity within the service to reduce waiting times and provide timely support to more children and
young people in need.
.Build partnerships with local organisations to reach a more diverse range of clients, including ethnic
minorities and those with disabilities.

Children's Art Therapy
Our art therapy team worked with 72 children this year, providing emotional 5UPPOrt throu￿ creative means.
The service, funded by BBC Children in Nee(L included both individual therapy and group sessions such as
Creative Expressive Therapy. These initiatives helped children process trauma and build resilience. The service
also collaborated with schools to provide therapy and trauma-infomied resources.
The key mechanisms are:
.Crealive Expression: Art therapy allows children to express dI￿l¢U1t or traumatic emotions through
non-verbal means, which is particularly useful for younger clients who may not have the language to express
their feelings.
.Safe, Supportive Environment: The structured. supportive nature of the therapy provides a space for children
to feel heard and understood: which helps them to build confidence and emotional resilience.
.Tailored Approaeh: Sessions are highl), individualised: with therapists using a variety of art materials and
techniques tailored to each child's unique needs. This client-centred approach allows children to engage with the
therapy in a Nvaj. that is meaningful to them.

Financial review
In this financial year, Salcare made a deficit of £J3,J16. Trustees were aware a deficit would be realised from
initial budgeling and confident that the the reserve cover was sufficienl to allow essential services to be
provided. The Board is very aware that ongoing deficits will become unsuslainable hence the organisation is
working on a number of projecls to increase financial slability and these are consistent with our current
charitable activiti¢s. Two priorities that will be developed during 20?4125 are the development of services to our
clients in the fomi of a contact centre and io faciliale family mediation. We are satisfied that developing these
activities wil make Salcare stronger and more financially secure.
Policy on reserve5
Trustees are to develop a written reserve policy that considers the stability of the mission, services employment
and on-going operations of the charity. At this time our stated policy is that reserves should be maintained with
cover for at least 3 months of core costs not including directly funded projects.
