This continued our recovery from the Covid period of 2020 to 2023 which challenged the whole third sector and particularly, small charities like RHL. However, w8 know 2025 126 is going to be difficult as most charities continue to struggle. The funding opportunities are getting smaller while the need is getting bigger. However, we have a strategy in place to Continue our ground-breakin9 work offering real and meaningful solutions to health and social inequalities. as well as tackling newer priorities such as obesity. Poorer and deprived areas are still suffering the worst inequalities and the area of Rushrnoor is no exception.

We continue to look at new ways of attracting fundin9, adjusting our serdices to meet demand and help commissioners achieve their strategic aims that also match our ethos of reducing health and Social inequalities in deprived areas. We have established ourselves as a 'lurn to" service provider in providing solutions to local and national health and wellbeing Issues. We have adapted our services, made them more flexible and have promoted the notion that "prevention" is better (and cheaper) than cure and our prevention services can reduce inequalities, slow down the need for 80cial care, identify conditions before they become serious and reduce the need for hospital care and admissions. This approach has attracted the attention of health and social care commissioners as they try to address the rising costs of social care, treatments and hospital admissions. Our stance that solutions to complex issue$ may lay withln communities is proving popular and that we are leading a shift in behavioural change in both communities and health professionals.
