## **CHAIR’S**
## **MESSAGE**
As we finalise another year of service to the community, it is a good opportunity to reflect on another successful year for our charity.
Whilst PAHF has strengthened its financial position and has strengthened its ability to comply with ever increasing regulation, the true success of our charity lies in the impact it has had on young people and their families.
It is virtually impossible to measure the impact that our core service has had on tired, over stretched families but that core service, coupled with the additional support we offer, has proved invaluable. Everyone connected with PAHF should be justifiably proud of their part in this success story.
Moving forward, the prospect of the White City re-development remains on the horizon.
Whilst finding a new site is proving difficult, the trustees, the management team and LBHF remain committed to finding new premises.
**Gary Sweetman Chair of Trustees**
## **CEO’S**
## **REPORT**
It has been a very busy year. We have attended many meetings regarding the redevelopment of the White City Estate, which includes our current venue. We haven’t been able to do much fundraising, however hen the war broke out in Ukraine, we donated toys, books, and children’s clothes to the local Ukraine collection point in Notting Hill to support the children of the war.
I have joined and represent the charity on a number of Local Authority forums, including ‘Independent Living’, ‘Autism Partnership Board’. I also have co-produced and had an input on the LBHF’s cost of living crisis response. I have helped and advocated for families that need additional support, particularly parents/carers of our young people that have their own health needs. I also completed ISPEC SEN Law training – levels 1, 2, and 3 in order to better understand and therefore better support our families.
The charity now looks healthier financially compared to a few years ago. Now that we have a steady surplus, we have decided to invest extra funds in staff learning and development. We have offered many courses to the team via High Speed Training and have offered in-house training such as Team Teach. We hope to expand on this offer next year.
**Lesley Schwartz Chief Executive Officer**
## **ABOUT**
## **WHO WE ARE**
## **US**
Play Association Hammersmith and Fulham is a voluntary organisation that provides play opportunities and experiences for children in and around West London boroughs. We currently provide adventure play in deprived parts of the borough and specialist play schemes on Saturdays and school holidays that provide respite for families of children and young adults with complex needs. We currently work with families residing in Hammersmith & Fulham, Kensington and Chelsea and Ealing. We are a charity, as well as a company limited by guarantee.
## **OUR MISSION**
We at PAHF believe that every child has the right to play freely, and that play is an essential part of the welfare and development of children. We work to promote, support, improve and deliver children’s play opportunities in Hammersmith & Fulham and surrounding boroughs, in response to local need. We do this in a range of ways, including:
- **delivering specialist play provision for children with complex needs** • **delivering outreach and youth play sessions in deprived areas**
- **delivering individualised, bespoke play and mentoring services for individuals**
- **providing support to play in the borough and promoting good models of playwork practice**
- **representing the play sector on various partnerships and networks**
We are allocated some of the most complex and challenging children in the borough as well as supporting children that are unable to access or have been excluded from other provisions – for some families we are their last resort. We have never turned a child or young person away and have always endeavoured to work with families and other professionals as much as possible to extend opportunities for children and young people.

## **ANTHONY LILLIS**
> This year we find ourselves rebuilding the service after the pandemic, supporting the young people as **PROJECT** things slowly begin to return to normal. For some young people, they have forgotten what the world used to be like, and this has overwhelmed them profoundly. Some had quite a difficult time, however the team was still able to provide a service for them, even if this was not on site. We have supported young people and their families in their homes and in the community, as well as supported parents with managing changes in behaviour and how to best approach challenging situations at home.
We remained a split group to better support the needs of our young people, however as we moved past the worst of the pandemic, we started to mix the groups, particularly during the holidays so that we can keep numbers each day balanced. The team provided activities including art, cooking, messy play, sensory play, physical activities and trips in the community. Special activities were added to the programme throughout the year, such as celebrating Mother’s Day, Eid and Black History Month. The holidays have been going well; we have had some new young people join us and it was a pleasure getting to know them. All the young people seem to love spending their time with us and were more receptive to getting involved in the activities organised for them. It's such a joy to watch young people that have attended the service for a number of years continue to achieve and benefit from the service.
Overall, I think that we have had a great year and would like to take this time to thank the team for the hard work and effort they put into making it all possible.
**Katie O’Brien Senior Worker**
## **ANTHONY LILLIS**
This year we saw an end to the wooden structures; they had been deteriorating for some time however the pandemic meant all we could do was to make safe and remove any dangerous parts of the structures ourselves. The structures were finally removed entirely in January, which has given the team increased visibility across the outside space.
## **PROJECT**
The majority of the Sunday staff are younger members of our team and have displayed visible growth, along with a greater understanding of our service and service users. Tangible progress can be witnessed with regards to inclusion and service user participation in organising activities, along with planned outings and impromptu trips into the community. Moreover, marked improvement has been seen in certain individuals' communication skills, along with positive self-regulation abilities, particularly when out in the community or in challenging situations.
There have been some challenges on occasion, but thanks to the hardworking staff team, any issues have been resolved quickly and things tend to run smoothly. We have a lot of
fun during the holiday time and much more going on as we see the young people more than once a week, which helps us to plan. We have been encouraging the young people to have more of a say in the service and activities and we hope to develop this into the new year. Finally, I want to take this time to thank the staff team as they have made this all possible.
**Marcus Begg Senior Worker**
## **DAYTIME SUPPORT (TERM TIME )**
Over the past year, my experience working closely with B in the community has been remarkably transformative. I have witnessed a significant improvement in his behaviour and communication skills. Notably, B has displayed a newfound level of patience, demonstrating his ability to effectively manage his emotions. Previously, he relied on prompts to express his desires, but as time progressed, he began articulating his needs without any assistance. Moreover, there has been substantial progress in how B handles his frustration, responding well to instructions provided to help him regain his composure.
These positive developments in B's personal growth and emotional regulation are a testament to the efficacy of the community-based intervention and support he receives. Through consistent engagement and encouragement, B has flourished, showcasing an enhanced ability to communicate and cope with challenging situations. The collaboration between social work professionals, the community and living independently has played a pivotal role in nurturing B's progress.
Moving forward, it is crucial to maintain this encouraging environment to continue nurturing B’s growth and ensure sustained positive outcomes for his overall well-being.
**Yusuf Haji Playworker**
## **DAYTIME SUPPORT (TERM TIME )**
Daytime support is an expanding service to facilitate building social and life skills for our young adults. It is a great program that has helped lots of young people engage in the community and adjust to life outside of education. We have built in regular trips to help engage the young people in various activities outside of the centre. This is an amazing chance for them to try new leisure activities and expand their skills and independence.
As a group often small in number, it has helped form bonds and connections between the young people, which has been vital for their social skills and communication. Over the year, L’s communication had advanced greatly, we are seeing more of his personality come through. He has also built great relationships with M and B due to being in a small group. It has worked really well, allowing space and time for new users to familiarise themselves with the centre, and staff to get to know them better.
## **Mya Onwugbonu Playworker**
B has had a fairly consistent year since receiving upgrades to his wheelchair. During his physio sessions he displays improvement with regards to strength in both legs, which can be observed in his ability to push himself up onto his feet whilst being supported by staff, helping to stabilise as he pushes up with his legs.
B continues to enjoy his sessions with us and particularly enjoys socialising with other, singing, dancing and listening to music. His mother points out, there is a marked difference in behaviours and mood when he unable to attend club.
**Marcus Begg Senior Playworker**
## **DAYTIME SUPPORT (TERM TIME )**
We see C one day a week as he no longer attends college. The setting is a familiar and safe environment where he afforded the space to engage in activities that resonate with his personality. He is familiar and comfortable using the setting, as he also attends on weekends, and is able to seek positive and interaction from staff and his peers. He is becoming more sociable, is communicating more and participates in setting his own schedule. He is able to make choices for himself and greatly enjoys his time at club.
## **Chloe Kelly Playworker**
A attends on Wednesdays and always enjoys his time with us. He likes to explore the area before he settles on an activity. A really likes the swings, always asking to be pushed higher. A enjoys spending time in the community and sometimes meets up with his friend and fellow service user B. A really likes the company of others and is constantly talking about other young people and other staff he likes or hasn’t seen for a while. He always gets excited when someone enters the site and is usually the first to greet them. A is quite active however when he sits, he likes to watch the TV, in particular Al Jazeera and the news. He also enjoys watching videos or TV shows about trains. We hope to try new activities with A in the future.
**Mohamed Ali Playworker**
## **AFTER SCHOOL SUPPORT**
After school club has been going really well. We had 6 young people attending this year and they have really enjoyed their time here. They arrive from school and varying times depending on distance and methods of transportation however they all have and know their routine; hang their belongings, use the toilet and wash their hands and sit down for a snack. Then they have their free time where they choose an activity, or they can choose to relax. Young people are encouraged to engage in an activity however we understand if they want some time to themselves or choose to relax. All young people have additions to their routine that are unique to them to help support their development.
All our young people are becoming more independent and are encouraged and able to make their own cups of tea and snacks, and all are getting better at communicating to the team what they want or need. After school club is client-led and it's up to the young people what they want to do as they have undoubtedly received many instructions and directions throughout the day at school or college. We encourage our young people to be independent, however after school club also promotes chill time and winding down after a long day at school, so that they are relaxed and ready for their evening routine when they get home.
Thank you to the team for all their hard work and participation in making the after school club run smoothly.
## **Katie O’Brien**
**Senior Playworker**
## **AFTER SCHOOL SUPPORT**
After school club is a very relaxed and comfortable environment for the young people - it’s their down time so what they do is entirely up to them. Every young person receives 1:1 support and we have a small group that attends a few times a week. They participate in a variety of activities; some enjoy spending their afternoon outside on the swings and play structure, some enjoy painting or messy play and some like to relax in the sensory room or watch a movie.
They are usually with us for few hours after school, so we have a snack time, usually upon arrival, where the young people can have a drink and a sandwich or some crisps to see them through until their dinner time. After school club is ideal for parents who work later than school finish time and allows the young people some time to socialise with others or unwind and relax after a long day at school or college.
## **Tia Best-Copeland Playworker**
Z has his own routine at after school club. He hangs up his belongings on arrival and sits down to have his snack. He particularly enjoys watching videos of trains and listening to songs with actions that he can sing along to. After school club allows Z to participate in activities and engage with his peers in a relaxed setting. Z is starting to become more communicative and expressive of his wants and needs. He looks forward to after school club and is always excited to see me when I collect him from school.
## **Manal Ali**
## **Playworker**
## **AFTER SCHOOL SUPPORT**
Over the last year, D has enjoyed his time at club, D’s routine is consistent; he likes pictures of his favourite movie or TV characters and will decide what pictures he wants to print. He will choose and activity such as playing football or making some cards. He is now able to choose a task or activity that he wants to do and go ahead and do it rather than waiting for encouragement, Now if he needs any help, he isn't afraid to ask, and this has been a significant achievement for D.
D attends on weekends and in school holidays however being part of such a small and intimate group after school has boosted his confidence and he has become more independent, which has transferred to his weekends and holiday sessions. He has adjusted really well with newer staff members and has worked with a lot of new faces this year. This has allowed him to open up and staff members to build more of a relationship and understand him and his needs and abilities better.
I escort D to and from club and he has shown significant improvement when waiting for and travelling on transport, and he is a lot more patient if transport isn’t on time. He has got much better with unfamiliar faces on the bus or taxi too.
D has had a really great year. He has faced many challenges, however he has shown resilience and has had a lot of great moments too. I look forward to D having an even better year ahead.
**Mohamed Ali Playworker**
## **NEW NAME, NEW IDENTITY**
At the start of 2023, we felt that our name was no longer the right fit for us, and we needed a new identity. After 18 years of being Play Association Hammersmith & Fulham and working with our service users into adulthood, we needed a name that was reflective of our mission and the services we provide.
As a fierce advocate for children and young people with SEN and their families, equality of opportunity is at the forefront of what we do and as we endeavour to improve the quality of life for our young people. Living with Equal Opportunities, or LEO for short, was born.
We will be re-branding and re-launching the organisation on 1[st] April 2023 and will be improving our processes and procedures to sustain the charity into the future.
## **MESSAGES FROM OUR FAMILIES**
“Thanks so much for S’s Easter crafts. She is very happy and thanks for the Tesco’s voucher too ☺”
“Lesley, just want to say a huge thank you for everything you have done for E and our family. It's hard to believe E has only been with you for nearly two years, it feels like half his lifetime. Thanks for being there for E; to pick up the pieces after our previous experience, and to help build his confidence so that he was able to make a success of this year. E is at home with us, where he should be, but I don't know if that would have been possible without you and your brilliant staff - there were long periods when social services and school were really giving us, and E, a good kicking - it felt like you (and P) were the only ones on his side. Thank you for E’s presents, the gift-card and everything else. And please let everyone who works with E know just how much we appreciate them.”
## **Lorraine & Constant**
“Without Lesley and her team, I would have been lost. From the beginning of everything with B she has been my rock and still is. I never want to give up her services.”
## **Julie**
“Thank you for the vouchers, I really appreciate it!”
## **Margarida**
“Got the voucher, thanks so much. I’m going Tesco in the morning! Thank you for your support!”
**Sabba**
“Just read the letter about the change of name and realised J had a food voucher in his bag. Thank you!”
**Keisha**
**Lisa**
“I am a parent of a young adult who has epilepsy, ADHD autism, ODD (opposite defiant disorder) & learning disability. He’s been going to Play Association since 2015 and over the last couple of years, they have been a great help to me and my family. Since 2020 I’ve been battling cancer, going back and forth to hospital for one thing or another, and just not for me. They have supported us, helped us by looking after our son in more ways than expected and it really means a lot to us to have a welcoming and friendly space for our son and others with SEN”.
**Dawn**
We continue to provide one-off bespoke services for families in need, on school or college inset days and for those who have different term dates
PAHF’s outreach and bespoke services aim to support young people, for whom play scheme is not appropriate, at home or in their local community. Bespoke services include escorting the young person to and from home, support in the community, support for specific activities, organising appropriate trips, promoting independence and providing basic behavioural assistance where appropriate
We continue to develop our service offer and programme of activities to enhance the learning and development of our young people
We started our rebranding of the organisation in January, expecting things to take a while to change over. However, we had our new name confirmed within a week and soon after, informed families and local authorities of the change
The White City Central development has been halted for the foreseeable due to a number of issues. We await further updates in the coming year however we continue to identify potential buildings for us to move into for the duration of the development should the plans resume
This year we operated 168 sessions of playscheme on weekends and in school holidays, and 188 sessions of daytime and after school support. These numbers include any bespoke services we provided, and remain a vast increase to our pre-pandemic allocation of 95 days of service per year
We continue to develop our website and social media presence, and are working on renovating these to reflect our new identity
We now have more clients that are over 18 than those that are under 18. We continue to work alongside Adult Services in all boroughs
Our staff continue to escort our clients that find transport difficult or have underlying health needs. Those eligible, still continue to receive transport from LBHF post-pandemic
Melanie hosted our first Team Teach training session and undertook her Team Teach Intermediate Tutor refresher course in September. In January, Danica undertook training to become a Team Teach Intermediate Tutor, making course planning and organisation easier
## **TREASURER’S**
## **REPORT**
The effects of the pandemic still remain for many, and it has been a challenging year with increases to inflation and national insurance, as well as a cost-of-living crisis. We continued to be successful in securing funding to support our families through these tough times.
This year we saw a welcomed increase in income as we continue to expand our daytime and after school projects. We end another year in a very strong financial position, with 3 months reserves and a net profit of some £94K; a £15K increase on last year. The organisation is thriving and sustainable, and we are hopeful that our income will continue to grow.
Going into the year 2023/24, there is continuing uncertainty about the future regarding our use of the adventure playground site. We continue to pay off our Government Bounce Back Loan, which has given us the flexibility to adapt to necessary changes and invest in our team and organisation for the future.

## **PARTNERSHIP**
We continue to maintain our relationships with LBHF Disabled Children’s Team and Preparation for **S** Adulthood Team. As more of our young people are transitioning into adulthood, we continue to build relationships with and work alongside Adult Services in Hammersmith & Fulham, Kensington & Chelsea, Ealing, Westminster and most recently the NHS as some of our young people have had their packages of care transferred over to and funded by Health. We continue to support young people and their families in any way we can and remain an advocate for them on various boards, forums and networks, including at client-specific network meetings.
We have maintained our relationship and communication with CT Plus, who transferred over to HATS Group in the summer. They remain our main transport provider and Westway Community Transport, as they transport some of our young people to and from our day support service. We continue to work closely with Randolph Beresford Early Years Centre as they manage the White City Adventure Playground site and maintain good communication with regard to the building and maintenance. We continue to share the space with the Harrow Club, who provide services 3 evenings a week for the community’s youth.
The White City Central development has been halted for the time being however we hope to work with LBHF to secure a potential building for our service, if not for the duration of the development, then for the foreseeable future. We strive to maintain our current relationships and partnerships with other providers and expand on these in the coming year.
**Melanie Schwartz Operations Manager**
## **FUNDRAISING & HIGHLIGHTS**
We have had some success with external funding; London Community Fund awarded us £10K to support our families with the cost-of-living crisis, with a contribution towards both utility bills and food vouchers for 6 months. Another grant of £2K was awarded to us from United in H&F (formerly H&F Giving) to support families with pensionable carers or those with carers that have their own health needs. These families received a further payment of £500 each.
We also worked with the Big Splash Foundation, using the hydrotherapy pool at Jack Tizard School during the summer holidays, as well as hosting various workshops. This year we have also formed new partnerships – NHS Clinical Team (Health) and Blueprint Partners, a local business who held a ‘Secret Santa’ and used the money to donate gifts for our young people at Christmas.
At the end of last year, we were contacted by a company in Jersey regarding an anonymous donation to our organisation. In April we received £15K from them and we would like to give special thanks to the donor. We received small donations via Just Giving totalling £120.62. Before Amazon Smile ended their giving programme, we raised £16.91 through shopping on Amazon.
We look forward to the year ahead and end this year working on rebranding and relaunching the charity, giving us a strong identity reflective of the work we do.
**Melanie Schwartz Operations Manager**
## **THANK YOU!**
We would like to thank our partners and funders, who make our work possible. They include:
We would also like to extend a warm thank you to all the people we have worked with over the last year, to help support our young people and the work we do. A special mention goes to the following:

## **THE COMING**
**YEAR** Play Association Hammersmith & Fulham will continue to deliver our current projects and be proactive in researching other opportunities that may present themselves. We hope to provide more training and work opportunities for our staff and continue to develop the services we provide. We continue to work on our publicity, advertising, improving and updating our website and developing our social media presence. Our head office is still based at the Parsons Green Club; however, the senior management team continues to work and projects continue to operate from White City Adventure Playground for the foreseeable future. The area of White City we are in is due to be redeveloped in the coming years and we will work alongside the council, architects and co-ordinators to ensure the future of our service.
Things are on track to getting back to normality, however our COVID policies and plans will remain in place in case of a spike in cases. We will continue to operate in bubbles and will continue to support our families as much as we can, expanding on our afterschool and daytime services for young adults. We hope to build on our relationship with Adult Services as more of our clients turn 18 years old and will continue to support our young people through transition.
In January 2023 we joined Bright HR, an online platform which will help us to better manage our HR system. We are in the process of learning and getting this system ready to launch from 1[st] April 2023. We hope that this will provide the support that the office team needs to better organise and manage our HR systems and as a result, boost productivity. We plan to rebrand and relaunch the organisation in April 2023 to better reflect the work we do. Our new name will be ‘Living with Equal Opportunities’ and this has been filed with Charity Commission and Companies House.
