Dietetic advice, library facility, schools facility, and talksltraining for professionals.
The Schools. programme
Sami continues to volunteer time to reseaching, preparing information and writing the online resouces
we now have available for students. teachers and parents online. FREED has always believed in
education, prevention and early intervention. The feedback from schools has always been very good and
continues to be.
Partnership work
FREED continues to work closely with statutory adult eating disorder services {eg, Nottingham Adult
Eating Disorders Service and Derbyshire Eating Disorders Service, along with other community based
services). FREED also continues working closely with Child and Adolescent Mentsl Health Services for
Nottinghamshire County and Derbyshire.
Joanne Ormiston FREED'S Administration Manager & Funding Officer continuesto meet with Adult

groups.

Trustees. Report
TraininglPersonal development
FREED continues to encourage continuing professional development (CPD). During the period of
September 2023 to August 2024 we have contiued to source free training as well as funding relevant
CPD events attended include:
Caroline - BABCP conferen
Louise - Self Harm
Caroline - London Conferen
Joanne - London Conference
Logan - London Conferen
Louise - London Conference
Caroline - CBTIE
Logan - CBTIE
Louise - CBTIE
Louise - Dietetics in ED'S
Keeping ahead of the game
FREED has always believed in the importance of keeping up to date with treatment methods. Our
continued attendance at conferences enables staff and Trustees to listen to research ideas and
outcomes. By attending workshops in different approaches allows us to network and discuss eating
disorders with other professionals.
Carer support
FREED'S inclusion to offer carer support at the assessment, continues. We continue to look at
alternative ways to incorporate carer support within FREED. One of FREED'S priorities moving into the
next period is re-developing the support offered to those people supporting those with eating disorders.

Trustees. Report
Research
Jamie Delgadillo an eminent academic continues to assist Caroline Bell with producing possible
research opportunities from FREEDS data through evaluation and analysis. They continue to look for
themes and research questions to collaborate an academic paper. We have continued interest to be
involved with the research at FREED. FREED is continuing to look at potential research opportunities for
the presentation of ARFID.
FREED Trustees believe that research is essential for progress in the treatment of eating disorders.
Funding
FREED'S funding comes via Nottinghamshire ICB until March 2025. The contracts runs on a 12 month
basis with a 1 month notice period. Due to a 2 year funding contract with the National Lottery which
began in April 2023 we have been able to a wider geographical area. This contract continues until the
end of March 2025.
The economic climate has meant that charities are finding it more difficult to get funding. We continue to
have regular Servi￿ reviews with the ICB commissioning managers. Joanne Ormiston continues to
dedicate time to funding and grants to secure funding outside of the NHS. Joanne tsrgets funding that is
unrestricted so any monies received can cover the service as a whole
Funding secured
Nottinghamshire ICB
National Lottery
Reserve Policy
A minimum of 3 months and a maximum of 1 year's running costs. Ideally 10 to 12 months. Having NHS
funding as the majority funders was always the plan, it means FREED would be in a vulnerable position
should ICBIICS policies change. The 10 to 12 months reserves would allow 6-7 months to either obtain
new funding andlor for service users to work towards closure with their therapists, redundancy payments
for staff and rent to honour our lease agreement and any contractual obligations. The present reserves
level stands at approx 3-4 months.
Review of Major Risks
The Trustees and management are aware that the health service is constantly undergoing change. It is
therefore extremely important to maintain our high standard and reputation to ensure their support.
Joanne will continue to explore every avenue regarding funding in addition to the NHS, as we have
always believed that it is important to maintain our autonomy.
As responsible employers it is important to have reasonable reserves, however when applying for
funding this can sometimes be unhelpful.
FREED would like to thank. service users. carers, staff, trustees for their continued hard work.
I declare in my capacity of charity Trustee. that the Trustees have approved the report above and have
authorised me to sign it on their behalf.
