The relief of sickness by the provision of information, advice and treatments to those affected by Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorders (and any co-morbidities), their families and carers, particularly in the London Boroughs of Havering, Barking and Dagenham. and surrounding areas. 2. The advancement of public education regarding Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorders (and any co-morbidities). We have come to end of another financial year and the outlook still looks bleak for the voluntary sector and ADDUP. We have struggled to gain funding this year, it would appear that many funders hav¢ changed their criteria to different projects which does not include children and young people and. when you find one with a criteria you fit into, the competition is hugc. We do feel the smaller grass root Cliarities are often overlooked tor funding which tends to go to the more well-known Charities. Local Authorities are struggling with many on the verge of bankruptcy so they cannot give the funding they used to fill the gaps while waiting for a successful bid. Due to this funding crisis within the voluntary sector many Charities have had to reduce their services or close all together hence support for services are dwindling but the need is greater than ever. We have survived anotlier year, writing funding applications has become a big part of our day, our success rate is small because of the competition yet ADHD is high on everyone's agenda. The media coverage of ADHD has grown Considerably lately with many more well-known personalities "coming out" with an ADHD diagnosis, yet there is still a battle to get services like ours funded while there is no statutory support specific for ADHD. Although our budgets have been reduced we have still provided a good service to our families. Our clubs and activities have coiitinued, we have a dedicated team of stalywho are putting in more voluntary hours to support the clubs and activities. The children continue to tlirive under ADDUP'S care and support and we promoted two young people recently to Blue T-shirt volunteer/mentor status after they completed a three-month training programme. They are now engaging in more training looking towards becoming a staff member at a later date. We were funded by the Integrated Care Board (NHS) for our"Monster Inside" parent/child training programme however that has ceased for now, we are waiting to be told whether thc funding will continue for tlie next financial year. This has caused an issue as many parents join ADDUP to access this training programme, it is one of the most popular programmes we run for parents and children, it is always oversubscribed and we are very proud of the outcomes we get from delivering the programme. We are seeking funding from other sources while we wait because demand is growing and once we are successful in getting the programme funded it will take a while to get the waiting list for a place down. It has been tough this year, we cannot predict where ADDUP will be this time next year but we continue to operate and provide services for now which w¢ know have a huge impact on the parents and children of the ADHD coinmunity. My retirement plans did not happen as l expected, but to say I love what I do is an understatement, to see a child progress from saying'no" to everything to joining in, making friends and smiling again is such pure joy, to know that child will survive ADHD and mak¢ an impact on the world is why we do what we do and we will continue to do. The Chari 's Poli on Reserves Addup's policy is to keep in reserve approximately six months worth of core running costs. The Management Committee declare that they have approved the I'eport above.
