## **Chairman’s Annual Report: SEED Eating Disorder Support Services** 

## **A Year of Resilience and Transformation** 

As I reflect on the past year we must acknowledge the challenges we faced as 2025 began. We were going through a period of change and restructuring.  A big thank you to our CEO for successfully overseeing this transition.  It is often in these moments,  that the most vital growth occurs.  Today I am proud to report that through strategic partnerships and a renewed focus on our core mission, **Seed has emerged stronger, more stable and more committed than ever to our service users.** 

## **Strategic Partnerships and Internal Growth** 

The turning point for our stability was the decision to partner with **Hull and East Yorkshire Mind** . This collaboration has proved to be a resounding success, providing us with the robust infrastructure and shared expertise needed to navigate a difficult landscape. 

This period of stabilization was further bolstered by the return of **Elena** , who stepped into the pivotal role of **Services and Support Lead** . Elena’s return brought not only a wealth of experience but a passion that has been instrumental in reshaping our delivery model. 

## **Quality Over Quantity: The Volunteer Buddy Scheme (VBS)** 

In a move to ensure the longevity of the charity, we made the conscious decision to "strip back" certain services. Our guiding principle during this transition has been **quality over quantity** . We believe that it is far better to provide exceptional, impactful support to some than stretched, superficial support to many. 

The flagship of this new era is our **Volunteer Buddy Scheme (VBS)** . We recruited a dedicated new team of volunteers, matching them with our "Seedlings" (service users) for one-to-one weekly telephone support. 

- **Evolution of Care:** While we initially launched this as an 8-week program, the overwhelming demand and clear success of the matches led us to extend the duration. 

- **Person-Centered Results:** Following direct feedback from our Seedlings, we have formally transitioned to a **16-week program** , with the flexibility to assess and extend based on individual needs. 

At SEED, we remain steadfast in our belief: **we treat the person, not the eating disorders.**

## **Supporting Families and Caregivers** 

For many years, Marg and Dennis have provided invaluable support through the _Walking on Eggshells_ workshops. However, as their health has unfortunately declined, we have looked toward a sustainable future for caregiver support. 

We are currently developing a new **Parents and Caregivers Support Group** . This initiative, is currently in progress and will ensure that those supporting a loved one through recovery have a dedicated, safe space to find strength and community. 

## **A Community of Support** 

We simply would not exist without the generosity of our partners. Our deepest gratitude goes to: 

- **The National Lottery Community Fund** for their continued belief in our mission. 

- **Our Local ICBs** for their vital commissioning and support. 

- **Our Funders and Individual Fundraisers** whose annual grants and personal efforts keep our doors open. 

By lowering our overheads and focusing our resources, we have ensured that every penny goes toward delivering the vital services our community relies on. 

## **Looking Ahead: Our 26th Year** 

As we enter our **26th year** , the landscape continues to shift. There are more changes on the horizon—all designed for the greater good of the charity and, most importantly, for the people we support. 

Whether you are in Hull, Yorkshire, East Riding, or joining our online monthly support groups from further afield, thank you. Your support ensures that there is a dedicated voluntary sector service for those affected by eating disorders. Together, we are ensuring that no one has to face this journey alone. 

## **With gratitude,** 

**The Chairman** _SEED Eating Disorder Support Services_

instrumental in reshaping our delivery model.
Quallty Over Quantlty: The Volunteer Buddy Schtme IV8SI
In a move lo en5uie the longevity of the charity, we rnade the conscious decision to "strip back" certain services.
Our guiding principle during Ihls transition has been quality Over quantlty- We believe that il is far better to proviée

The flagship of this new era is our Volunteel Buddy Scheme IV8SI We recruited a d8dic8led new team of
volunteers. matching them with our"Seedling8 15ervice users) for one-lo-onè weekly telephone support.
Evolution of Ga￿.. While we Initially launched this as an 8-week program. the overwhelming demand and
clear success of the matches led us lo extend the duration.
Person.Centered Results.. Following direct feedback from our Seedlings, we have formally transitioned lo
a 16-week program, with the flexitiilily lo as5e5s and extend based on individual needs.
At SEED. we remain sleadla51 In our belief.. we treat the per50n, not the eating dlsorder8.
Supporting Famllles and Careglvers
For many years. Marg and Dennis have provided invaluable support through the Walking on Eggshells workshop5.
However, a5 their health has unfortunately declined. we have looked toward a suslain3ble future for caregiver
support.
We ar8 currently developing a new Parents and Careglvers Support Group. This inilialive. is currently In progr885
