Achievements and Performance

| Summary of the main achievements of the charity, identifying the difference the charity’s work has made to the circumstances of its beneficiaries and any wider benefits to society as a whole. |
Para 1.20 | The charity has worked to meet its objectives through the following activities: 1. Supporting the work of residential and day rehabilitation of individuals with substance misuse issues and, in particular, offending backgrounds. The Charity continues to work closely with a social enterprise in Shropshire. Working with the social enterprise, in the 12 months covered by this report, we have adapted to changing market conditions and pressures by continuing to further partnership working and developing new and innovative interventions to support the rehabilitation of offenders. The social enterprise approached the trustees for support in this work, and the charity was able to secure funding to facilitate this. The trustees evaluated the request, and the committed to supporting the development of that work through the application of unrestricted donated funds to specific projects being undertaken by the social enterprise. These projects primarily focused on the rehabilitation of offenders from across West Mercia, as well as the delivery of residential rehabilitation placements for women struggling with substance misuse issues and offending behaviour. As in previous years, the trustees focused primarily on initiatives providing job-related training, and resettlement into work and independent living. As previously, where appropriate, the trustees agreed to provide support for the provision of equipment necessary for the continuation of the rehabilitation work in general. The trustees continue to supplement the application of funds to support this work, where appropriate, by offering their own skills and expertise to the social enterprise in a voluntary capacity. This work has provided clear benefits to the public through delivering change to individuals who have a history of chaotic lifestyles and being disruptive and destructive within their communities |

through their offending behaviour and, in many cases, substance misuse. During the year the projects the trust supported helped over 500 people with long-standing offending backgrounds. Working with the police and the Probation service, the continued monitoring of outcomes, and the review of independent evidence, demonstrates that the projects have directly contributed to a reduction in reoffending among those individuals who successfully completed the programmes offered. This activity is directly related to a primary objective of the Charity: "The relief of the poor, needy, sick, elderly and disadvantaged in the Wyre Forest district, and in such parts of the United Kingdom or the world as the Trustees may from time to time think fit." 2. Development of Agroforesty projects in South America. As in previous years, alongside its work with offenders and people with substance misuse issues, the Charity continues to take an active role in supporting the development of agroforestry projects in Guyana, South America. This work is to equip local Amerindians with the skills and capabilities to develop a sustainable model to support their economic well-being, helping them to safeguard themselves against the effects of poverty in a third-world environment. In addition, the project aims to stop the outward migration of the village's younger generations in search of economic sustainability for themselves and their families by providing a meaningful platform for a sustainable community. In the year to 31 December 2024, the Charity was able to support several overseas project trips, which saw significant progress made in the development of the infrastructure around the agroforestry project. This fulfilled the trustees' intention to use donations collected both in the current and previous year to support increased activity.
By supporting and facilitating the work through enabling locally-based volunteers to engage with the project, as well as directly in Guyana, by providing financial assistance, the Charity is directly addressing one of its primary objectives: "The relief of the poor, needy, sick, elderly and disadvantaged in the Wyre Forest district, and in such parts of the United Kingdom or the world as the Trustees may from time to time think fit." Furthermore, the provision of training to increase skills meets the Charity's objective for "the furtherance of religious and secular " public education .
