ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE - Year from 1 April 2023 to 31 March 2024
Genernl overvlew
NAPAC provides the only free national supportserviceforadult survivors of all types of childhood abuse.
We offer specialist, confidential support operated by experienced staff and trained volunteers.
NAPAC works Closely with the criminal justice and public health sectors. We support survivors to
navigate and understand their options with criminal and ctvil law, and in healing and recovery. Choice
is key, and our website provides a wealth of free information and resources for survivors and those
supporting them.
As a trusted public hearth organisation, people use NAPAC'S servI￿S to support their overall health and
wellbeing, and to be able to make brave. positive Ghoices every day - including asking for help when
they need it.
Those using our services ask for support with a range of COn￿ms, including anxiety. depression.
isolation, reporting to the poli￿, domestic and sexual violence, boundaries. and complex post-traumatic
stress. For many, contacting NAPAC is a first step to recovering from trauma and leading happier, mcre
fulfilled IFves.
NAPAC has ftiur main services:
The UK'S only free national telephone and email support service for all adult survivors of any
kind of childhood abuse.
Intensive psychoeducats'onal support groups for survivors of abuse,. these face-to-face support
groups have now been developed for online delivery.
PAGE 3

THE NATIONAL ASSOCIATION FOR PEOPLE ABUSED IN CHILDHOOD
REPORT OF THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES (INCORPORATING THE DIRECTORS. REPORT)
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024
Extensive training for professionals who engage with adult survivors of childhood abuse and
anyone at risk of vicarious trauma.
Research and advocacy, using our own dats and working in partnership to raise survivors.
VOIC8s in policy and practice across the UK
During this reporting period, we continued our drive to continuously innovate and change. This was most
obvious in the enhanced offer of our training programme. NAPAC spent much of this reporting period
continuing to develop and embed online delivery. and this has proven to be very successful.
Our website again proved to be an essenlial first point of support for sutvivors. victims, supporters, and
professionals. We increased the percentage of calls answered on our telephone support line, and our
advocacy and media work have kept the issue of childhood abuse and support for adult survivors firmly
in the public eye.
Further amendments to our staffing structures and enhancement of our governan￿ ability provided the
foundation of our overall succ&ss in navigating the challenges of this period. It means that NAPAC
maintains the abilty to flex and meet the organisation's strategic goals, with strong governan￿ oversight
from an experienced and cohesive Board of Trustees.
Significant challenges remain, however. Demand for NAPAC'S services - particularly our t818phone
support line and supportgroups-far outstrips ourcurrentability to meet it. We know that more generally,
adult 5uNivors across the UK face barriers to accessing the support they need, when they need it. and
that too often the response they receive is inadequate.
Activitles and Pefftlmiance
In the sections that follow, NAPAC will report in detail its performance across its main areas of work,
including support services, training, advocacy and communications. Some of the highlights from those
areas are noted below. During the year to 31 March 2024, the principal activitw of NAPAC included:

SUPPORT SERVICES
Telephone support line and emall support
NAPAC'S support services operation, which encompasses our telephone support line and email support
service, is run entirely from our dedicated office in Stockport Greater Manchester. This gives greater
efficiency and improved safety and transparency for callers as well as staff and volunteers.
NAPAC'S free national telephone support line for adult survivors of childhood abuse- 0808 8010331
offers suNrvors the chance to tslk through their experiences with highly-trained volunteers and staff.
The purposes of the support line are..
to provide support for survivors in their journey of recovery and healing from the kjng-temi
consequen￿$ of childhood abuse.
to provide that support at whatever point or points in theirjoumey they need rt.
in combination with resources on the NAPAC website. to gtve survivcrs a chance to believe that
healing is possible.
to help survivors get to a point where they feel they can tske more control over their own ongoing
healing joumey.
Very often we are the first people survtvors talk to about their experience5 of abuse, with around one in
ten callers telling us they are disclosing for ts)e first time.
We know that for some survivors, writing down their feelings can be easTrer or more ac￿Ssible than
talking. NAPAC therefore offers an email and letter serrfice where people may write to us for support
and with any questions or comments about abuse eXperien￿d in childhood. its impact in adulthood,
their recovery experiences, and to find longer-term support in their area.
This email support service additionally has the purpose of allowing survivors to make an initial approach
to NAPAC even if they may not be ready for a telephone conversation. When appropriate NAPAC
encourages email correspondents to call the support line because it is easier to be survivor-led and
person-centred in a telephone conversation than in an email exchange.
We are also here for supporters of survivors of childhood abuse, and we have a high level of
professionals calling and emailing us for advice in helping their own clEnts if they are survivors of
childhood abuse.
Be￿een 1 April 2023 and 31 March 2024, the team consisted of nine active volunteers and 13 members
of staff. The normal opening hours of the support ServI￿S operation are 10:00 to 21.'00 Mondays to
Thursdays, and 10.00 to 18'.00 on Fridays.
The perf0rrnan￿ of NAPAC'S support services and some interesting findings are described below.
The total number of emails answered in Ihe 12 months to 31 March 2024 was 2,720. Email
is an important part of our support servi￿, especially by making support more accessible for
people who are not ready or able to call.
Our telephone support line is anonymous and confidential, and we cannot identify the
individual people who call. Our call management system can tell us if a call attempt is from a
unique caller or previously connected number, helping us understand how people use the
service and better meet their need5.
PAGE S

THE NATIONAL ASSOCIATION FOR PEOPLE ABUSED IN CHILDHOOD
REPORT OF THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES (INCORPORATING THE DIRECTORS. REPORT)
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024
41 % of unique callgrs were connectsd at some point during the year. In total there were 7,303
calls answered out of 18.443 call attempts (including multiple repeat callers as well as unique
individual callers) which is 40% connected. This continues the improvement in percentage of
calls answered achieved in the previous two years (last year we answered 7.365 calls which
was a 33.8 % connection rate per call attempt). The introduction of a call queuing systems is
one of the improvements that have enabled us to increase the number of callers connecting
during the year.
The average talk time per call is similar to previous years. at 23 rninutes 22 seconds.
Psycho-educational support groups
NAPAC has been running successfvl and well received faCe-t￿face pSYch￿lUcatiOnal and therapeutic
support groups for adult survivors of any type of childhood abuse or neglect over MO￿ than ten years.
We know from calls to our support line that this is the kind of support many surv5vors wan( and group
work is also widely considered to be the 'gold standard, for therapeutic support modalities in the
literature.
The NAPAC model and manualised structure has been continuously refined and improved based on
feedback from participants and leaming from delivery. The facfrto-face groups cost nearly £10,OOD to
deliver for 12 people, over 15 weeks of two and a half hour sessions weekly. Funding for these groups
has in the past been granted from the Home Offi￿, City Bridge Trust JAC Trust and Philip King Trust
As a resuSt of the restrictions imposed by COVID-19. NAPAC developed a whole new online delivery
programme of support groups. These were piloted and assessed in the previous financial year.
1OJhat we leamed was that online delivery of support groups worked best by an increased number of
sessions. This brought the totsl number of virtual contact hours up to 75Q/o of what was offered in the
face-t¢iface groups, with the benefit of lower costs flue to the work happening online.
Rigorous evaluation using the CORE self-assessment tool and end of therapy open question feedback
demonstrated improved outcomes comparable to the frace-to-face groups.
Due to lack of funding, we were unable to run online or face-to-face support groups in this reporting
period. We continue our efforts to generate funding to do so.
TRAINING
NAPAC has been training professionals who work with &Jult surrfivors of child abuse on an ad-hoc basis
for many years. Since 2018, NAPAC has expanded the reach of its training programme. which has
resulted in a more commercial and rigorous approach to income generation through effective client
management and internal reporting.
A full review and update of all NAPAC'S training began February 2022. This focus was on piloting new
materials before an updated suite of workshops and bespoke training options being launched in 2023.
NAPAC'S flagship on&day training workshop - 'Supporting Adult Survivors of Child Abuse, (SASCA) -
has been rewritten to reflect new leaming from survivors and academic research. It is now also available
as an online e-leaming course for self4irected study. It has also been renamed - 'Trauma Infomed
Survivor Support,. The training is firmly rooted in the latest research on the impacts of abuse,
neuroscien￿, and the emerging field of trauma-infomed practs"ce. Reviews and updates are carried out
regularly to include new learning from our support line seDiice and the latest clinical and academic
developments.

NAPAC aE seeking re-arKreditation with the British Psychological Society and the Royal College of
Nursing to reinforce the credibilty of our updated training. At the same time, we a￿ also researching
our own kitemarking joumey to explore whether this approach, or accreditation through alternative
bcdies, may better align with our goals.
NAPAC developed new training content during the year to pla￿ greater ernphasis on trauma-informed
approaches. This included training delivered to Leigh Day, one of NAPAC'S law fimi partners, with
additional contenton vicarious trauma, and to Waltham Forest Rough Sleepers outreach team, focusing
on trauma-informed approaches to working with survivors of childhood sexual abuse with complex
needs. We also delivered a two-day trauma-informed and safeguarding training to Making Space in
Warrington, a community day servi￿, who have expressed interest in utilising NAPAC'S services again
in the futu￿.
There are now four e-learning courses for self4irected study available directty from our website:
Trauma Infomied Survivor Support
Survivors Stress Responses
Introduction to Abuse, Trauma. and Recovery
Neurodivergence and Trauma
AII NAPAC'S training materials are based on what we have heard through the support services and
knowledge sharing. including the needs expressed by i)oth survivors and professionals. They are also
underpinned by research in cognitNe neuroscience, neuropsychology. psychology, and therapeutic
practice.
Be￿een 1 April 2023 and 31 March 2024we trained 156 professionals via our bespoke training courses
and 78 people purchased our e-learning courses. Feedback on our training courses averaged 4.75 out
of 5 across this year.
We increased the emphasis on marketing oure-learning provision through social media advertising and
print advertising in industry journal Therapy Today, which contributed to NAPAC maintaining significant
income and profitability.
Any surplus generated by our training activities is used to offset the costs of developing and delivering
NAPAC'S support services.

this allows us to utilise and share our unique data and knowledge on the national stage. This all has the
ultimate aim of profound cultural change within policing.

NAPAC is engaged with national organisations, including those in the health and social care sectors, to
discuss their training needs and provide expert input where there are gaps in provision and
understanding in how best to support adult survivors. We contribute insights to support public health
campaigns such as advice for survtvors around cervical screening and mental health campaigns.
We receive a huge number of enquiries from national. regional. and intemational media outlets to
contribute to news stories or documentaries, or requests to advise on drama scripts which relate to non-
recent child abuse. We provide comment on the issues we regularly hear about on our support line and
information which offers insight and improves the accuracy of portrayals about the impacts of child abuse
on adults.
NAPAC is listed on the BBC Action Line page, as well as the'further support, page published by Channel
4. This is very helpful as a signposting for support seniice for people who may be triggered by issues
raised within the programmes on these channels.
Large increases in call attempts to NAPAC'S support line and visits to our website correlate closety with
media coverage which features NAPAC or survivors talking about what they suffered, including
storylines in TV or radio soaps and dramas, court cases, and police investigations.
NAPAC is proud to have developed and disseminated its media guidelines, ft)Ilowing input from IPSO,
Ofcom and BBC Editorial guidelines, to assist anyone writing or broadcaskn'ng on the subject of non-
recent child abuse, so that the needs and impacts on adult survivors are better understood and reported.
COMMUNICATIONS
Due to internal personnel changes and the pressures of an economic downturn. NAPAC shifted its
approach to communications over this reporting period.
lthilst we continued to communicate to both survivors and professionals, there was a focus on
implementing an infrastructure that would allow us to advertise and sell more of our training.
NAPAC engaged with a digital matketing agency on a hvo-month trial marketing campaign to improve
awareness of and drive bookings onto our e-learning courses. In that time, we also established a Google
Ads account that allowed us to take advantage of free advertising spend from Google. Over the reporting
period we have benefitted from drawing from US$10,000 of free ad spend per month, which has helped
more people connect with our services. including 187.836 vRbsite visits.
Despite the political turbulence of the reporting period, the NAPAC tone of voice remained neutral.
measured and hopeful, allowing us to support survivors and productively engage with key partners. such
as the Hydrant Programme and the Ministy of Justice.

Over the course of this reporting period, NAPAC'S social media presence grew signrficantly.
We maintained a 4.7 % average engagement rate across all social media channels. well above
the average of 0.51 0￿ for non-profrts and 0.430￿ across all social media (based on figures from
Rival-lQ, for 2023-2024).
Our following grew by 120/0 across all social media platforms (up from 17.200 followers at the
end of March 2023 to 19,323 on 31 March 2024).
NAPAC social media content gamered 1.3 million impr8ssions
a 2080A increase on the
previous reporknng period.
In addition to our social media output. we continued our programme of consisten( external thought
leadership across key third-sector publications and high-profile media appearances across national
outlets, such as BBC News and Radio 5 Live.
As a result of these efforts, our support service is routinely (almost weekly) S￿nposted across national
newspapers such as The Guardian and The Independent and we are regularly consulted on abuse
narratives by leading journalists.
WEBSITE
We continued to reach many thousands of new people through our NAPAC website - napac.org.uk -
this year. Here are some of the trends we identified.
We had at least 187,836 vlsltor sessions on the website over this perTrod - a 5% decrease on
the previous year. We ascribe this small decrease to our increasingly robust methods for
website analytics., this ensures we a￿ only counting what can be verified and respecting the
privacy of user5 who do not want their website use to be included in analykn'Gs. such as through
the use of VPNS or tailored cookie settings.
127,003 (92%) were new vlsitors to the website and 32,520 (24°h) were returning visitors.
90Yo of visitors to our site were In the UK. The remaining 10% were predorninantly from the
US, Republic of Ireland, Canada and Australia.
We continue to reach people across all age groups, though there is a growing number of
younger survivors and men intsractlng with our site. The lower age profile is very positNe.
indicating that more SUNNors are seeking support eartier in their lives and beginning healing
and recovery sooner.
FINANCIAL REVIEW
We are reporting on the year from 1 April 2023 to 31 March 2024.
During this period, gross income of £742,165 was achieved (compared to £978,315 of gross income
achieved for the 12-month period to 31 March 2023). Once again NAPAC was fortunate to receive
significant legacy income (see note 4) for which it is grateful.
We were grateful to have had continued support from the Home Office which has again been the
principal fijnding source of the Charity, With £280.065 being received for the period (compared to
£391.020 of Home Office grant funding received for the 12-month period to 31 March 2023).
PAGE 10

THE NATIONAL ASSOCIATION FOR PEOPLE ABUSED IN CHILDHOOD
REPORT OF THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES (INCORPORATING THE DIRECTORS, REPORT)
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024
The grant was given from funds made available by the Home Office to non-statutory organisations in
England and Wales providing support to victims of sexual abuse to help meet the ever-increasing
demand on those services.
This principal source of funding was supplemented by income from grant-making trusts and bodies and
ad-hoc personal donations. All these generous donations are acknowledged with much gratitude by the
Trustees who are committed to ensuring that NAPAC continues to use the funding it receives effectively.
This includes further enhancement and expansion of our core activities to support Survivors and ongoing
development of our training programme. which we also see as providing an important source of income
for the charity.
Resources expended in the period were £717,001 (compared to £684,286 of resources expended for
the 12-month period to 31 March 2023).
The key elements of expenditure relate to:
The staffing costs for organisational leadership. advocacy, volunteer coordination and support,
developing and delr¥ering training, and coordinating and delivering support to survivors.
Establishment and Maintenan￿ of the support line technology with the associated website.
Office accommodation for the administrative and support line centres.
Overall, 2023-2024 was once again a challenging period for NAPAC as our services are ever more in
demand thanks to the high profile the organisation enjoys. and the prominence afforded to issues raised
in the media which prompt calls to our SUPFX)rt line.
We experienced a surplus for the period of £26,279 {compared to a surplus of £294,029 for the 12-
month period to 31 March 2023).
We continue to assess our cost base regularly to deliver an effective operating model and maximise the
value we can provide to our stakeholders and service users.
RESERVES POLICY
NAPAC'S reserves policy is to maintain Su￿lent unrestricted resources to fund operations for a
minimum of three months at a time, while also being cognisant of the fact that the principal grant of
which we are a beneficiary is re￿[Vable on a bi-annual basis. As a consequen￿, our unrestricted funds
may represent up to six months, expenditure at any one ts'me.
As of 31 March 2024, we had unrestricted funds (also our free reserves) of £917.598 (2023: £891,319)
of which £342,285 are designated funds for strategic development. Consequently. we retain an amount
sufficient to fvnd all operab'ons for approximately the next four months.
Since funding is often short-tenn or one-off in nature. the Trustees are cognisant of the need to continue
to seek funding for our work and to maintain adequate reseNes which we see as critical for the effecb've
support of survivors across the United Kj'ngdom.
STATEMENT OF MAJOR RISKS
The NAPAC Board of Trustees have considered the major strategic business and operational risks to
which the charity is exposed. These are identified. prioritised, mitigated and tracked using a risk register
that is reviewed and actioned by the Board on a quarterly basis. The three 'top' risks that have been
identified as most impactful are outlined below.

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024
Financial risk.
Even as the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic and associated lockdowns tapered off during the
reporting period, the rising Cost of living crisis had a serious impact on NAPAC'S income stream of
individual and small trust giving, as is the case across the entirety of the charty sector. These factors.
Combined with the lack of continued and long-term funding - reported in previous financial years also-
is the main financial risk NAPAC faces.
Even with these significant challenges. NAPAC continues to focus on developing its own income-
generating activities and is achieving positive steps in this regard with increased training and other
income. However, this is not yet at the stage of allowing the charity to be completew self-sustsining.
NAPAC is grateful to the govemment for significant grants which make up the majority of the charity's
income. The govemment responded in particular to the unprecedented challenges presented by COVID-
19 by Creating a Victim and Wrtness COVID-19 Support Fund. This was to provide addrtional support
for support services for victims and survNors. including NAPAC.
However, there is no guarantee that Home Office funding will be sustained at current levels, given the
significant demands on government fijnding across all areas.
Dependent as it is on statutory funding, NAPAC is mindfvl of the potential risks of political changes
during the on-going periLMa of national Un￿rtainty.
NAPAC is cognisant of the proper and appropriate use of restricted funds, which form the main
proportion of the charity's funding arrangements. equating to 49% (2022" 48 % ) of all income received
during the period. As of 31 March 2024, the amount held in our restricted funds stood at £2,193 (2023..
£2,193).
Service dellvery:
Our work is interconnected.. we support adult survivors, we train professionals who engage with
suNivors, we ensure survivors are included as part of national strategies and the safeguarding work of
government and other sectors, and we raise awareness and challenge societal MIS￿ncePtiOnS about
the impact of childhood abuse.
The direct support Servi￿ we offer is a￿ayS evolving. We use suNivor feedback to improve this seNiCe,
develop our training programmes and ensure that we a￿ putting survivor voices at the heart of our
advocacy. The more resources we have, the more people we can reach. NAPAC'S work supports
individuals and aims to reassure survivors that they will be believed and that there are people who will
listen.
Staffing:
NAPAC is a small organisation and we face a significant demand for our services. NAPAC works in a
highly emotional and Gomplex trauma-care setting and the issues that we deal with on a daily basis can
result in vicarious trauma if not proactively managed. These factors combine to present risk to our staff.
We have carefully desuned processes and systerns in place to handle the unpredictabilty of our callers,
situations. We have worked hard to provide caring and effectNe support to our stsff and volunteers in
delivering their vitsl role and will continue to prioritise their skills and wellbeing alongside the standards
of Se￿1￿ we maintain.
NAPAC invests in its staff and volunteer support, ensuring we remain trauma-infomed sector leaders
in staff excellence and wellbeing, providing training, effective pro￿sseS and systems, and a cultur8 that
supports their resilience so that they can most effectively support others.

REPORTING
Internal reporting
NAPAC uses Xero accounting software for day-t041ay book-keeping and to generate monthly and
quarterly financial reF)Orts as well as management reports for consideration by senior management and
trustees. An example of the way that Xero is used is provided by the periodic claims made for statutory
funding. Financial reports are generated by Xero and used to prepare the detailed claims to our principal
funders.
NAPAC continues to make significant progress in strengthening the quality and tr'meliness cf the
management information it receives.
Improving rnanagement inforniation is enabling NAPAC to continually refine its income generation
strategy and develop appropriate marketing programmes. Work researching an organisation-wide
datsbase that can securely connect the different functions and integrate with Xero continues on this
digital transfomation project.
Donor reporting is Managed intemally. Monthly, quarterly. and annual reports are produced tse￿een
finance and fundraising for accurate data on donations and pledges received. Therg is also quarterly
repo￿ng on the pipeline of prospective and ongoing relationships with current donors and stakeholders,
including regular and recurring donations. grants from trusts, and one-off and legacy gifts, and
community, corporate. and challenge activities.
NAPAC continues to use a specialist s(Kial enterprise product to manage online donations and collect
Gift Aid. It provides a secure online fundrdising tool for NAPAC and for donors and provides insights
into donation activity, which supports NAPAC'S internal analysis and reporting.
External donor reportlng
Formal donor reporting continues to develop as part of the income generation cycle. Informal donor
reporting is conducted as part of ongoing stewardship with existing and prospective supporters, and
forms part of the regular conversations with all stakeholders.
A bulletin is Pr￿UCed periodically for our Law Firn Partnership Programme, ensuring all members
receive updates on important changes and opportunities. There will also be a five-year impact report
prodU￿d in the next year to complement the new five-year strategy and provide a comprehensNe
overview of NAPAC'S devek)pment and plans for all external stakeholders, including survivors.
NAPAC also produces regular impact reports, wh￿h contsin fvll detail of our work and how income is
generated and spent. This includes innovative ways to illustrate this, such as the 'NAPAC pound,.
PLANS FOR FUTURE PERIODS
NAPAC has always been responsive to the changing needs of surrfivors. and this is increasingly evident
in the agility of the organisation. One major focus for the immediate future is the development and
delivery of our unique trauma-infomEd organisation work. NAPAC also developed its exciting new five-
year strategic plan at the start of 2023, and we are confident in our ambitions that this plan outlines, as
detailed below.

We have effectively integrated all our functions over the past few years and are proud of our holistic,
collaborative approach, which informs and helps develop our services and training. As we expand our

of childhood abuse in a wide range of professional settings.
NAPAC'S training is based on trauma-informed practice, which serves to rdise awareness of the wide
irnpact of trauma and prevent re-traumatisation of survivors in settings that are intended to be supportive
ané empowering. Our training is informed and updated not only by academic and clinical progress but
also, importantly, by the direct support services we deliver to supiivors - making our training unique in
the market.
We have a sector-leading understanding of trauma-informed approaches and have built strong
relationships with our partners whom we have supported to embed a trauma-informed approach
meaningfully in their own organisations. This significantly widens our impact, by enabling us to reach
more survivors through many different avenues by training the people with whom they will naturally
come into contact.

Generating Income
The current climate for charity fundraising is extremely challenging. For NAPAC. the abilty to generate
income is further undemiined by societal misunderstanding of adult survivors. Childhood abuse is a
difficu￿ subject for many people to think about or even acl(nowledge, and the scale and scope of the
trauma suffered by today's adult victims and survivors is regularly underestr'mated.
However, NAPAC has built strong and productive relationships with donors. grant funders and
government funders including the Home Office, which has enabled significant expansion of our work.
Income generation will continue to be a major focus for us over this planning period, as we will need to
be more inventive and effective in our efft)rts to reach more audiences to deliver our ambitious targets.
Across the next perfod. we will..
Significandy expand our training and consultancy as a source of income generation and self-
sustainability, establishing NAPAC as the go-to organisation for embedding a trauma-informed
approach for anyone working with adult survivors.
Develop new and innovative fvnding models, including for the provision of support group5 and
other high-impact provisions, that will both reach more survivors and fund more services.
Establish collaborative and mutualty beneficial partnerships to increase impact and income.
Widen the diversty of our income generation activities to secure new streams of funding to
further expand our work and increase our sustsinability.
Support groups
NAPAC'S support group programme provides intensive therapeutic psycho4ucation for small groups
of survivors over three to four months. These support groups use NAPAC'S trauma reGovery model that
empowers participants to regain control of their lives. Thi5 improves their wellbeing and functioning as
they feel better equipped to cope.
We have delivered support groups across the UK. in person and latterly online, transforming the lives
of more than 250 survivors. We have plans to signifrantty widen aC￿sS to support groups over the
coming Strategic planning period, subject to funding.
Across the next period, we ￿lI.-
Continue to use both online and in-person techniques to deliver group supporL
Seek partnerships wth organisations with premises and the potential to support new groups.
Demonstrate as clearfy as possible the value and lasting impact of support groups - exploring
altemative evaluation tools, and introducing follow-up evaluation of partiGipants after six. 12 and
24 months, and use this to seek funding for even more support groups.
Continue our efforts to fvrther expand the availabil.ty of support groups by exploring franchising
the model to other not for-profit organisations.
Explore intemational funding SoUr￿S to broaden the reach of our support group model on
global scale.
