Report of the trustees for the year ended 30 November 2022
The trustees, who are also directors of the charity for the purposes of the Companies Act, present their annual reports and the financial statements of the charity for the year end 30 November 2022. The trustees have adopted the provisions of the Accounting and Reporting by Charities; Statement of Recommended Practice, applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial reporting standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS102).
Structure, governance and management
Omega Community Living is a company limited by guarantee and a registered charity.
Objectives and activities
To provide high quality accommodation, housing management and support vulnerable adults with Mental health and learning difficulties.
To promote greater independence for service users through practical assistance, emotional support, skills training and poverty reducing interventions;
To increase access to information and community services;
To Deliver a highly professional and flexible service that takes account of service- users' racial and cultural background and respect individual dignity and privacy.
Provide a package of care and support that is empowering to the service user and is responsive to their individual needs;
To promote social inclusion and participation and raise awareness of good mental health.
Achievements and performance
For the past 18 years, we have been providing rehabilitative and recovery services to people suffering from mental health illnesses and learning disabilities as a supported living facility. Our services have gained recognition within our community due to the outcomes we have achieved through the quality of care we provide to our clients.
Our organisation has continued to strengthen relevant sector skills and promote best practices despite the challenges of the cost of living crisis. The pandemic and the current cost of living crisis have made us more flexible and adaptable to accommodate the changing needs of clients and the organisation's demands. However, the lack of resources has posed challenges in staff recruitment and retention. To address this, we were also awarded the Kickstart programme by the DWP, which provided three activity workers for six months to help alleviate the strain on staff and resources. We have created a job position for the kick-start apprenticeship programme as 'Activities Worker'. This is an exceptional opportunity for vulnerable young people on benefits in the community to acquire knowledge and skills within the health and social care setting.
We have a long tradition of taking on students from local schools and colleges for work experience for years 10–12 and from universities for social work student placement in their first and final year of social work studies. Most of these students have gone on to seek careers in health and social care, nursing, or registered social workers We are currently focusing on the apprenticeship programme as we have witnessed first-hand the enormous impact it has had on the employment of many people. Our service not only provides career opportunities but also empowers 18- to 24-year-olds who have struggled with different types of vulnerabilities within the community. Most people we support have health concerns due to redundancy, the aftermath of the pandemic, or the cost of living crisis.
Our primary services foster user independence, increase client autonomy, and provide person-centred support planning, aligning with the Care Act (2014) vision of wellbeing (2014). We have focused on promoting the clients' experience and autonomy in accessing additional services. We are more receptive to clients' suggestions for how they would like to be supported and have collaborated with their families and carers to ensure their involvement in their care. We have developed more outdoor activities to support clients in engaging in rehab activities and improving their quality of life. Our consistent encouragement of our clients to reach their full potential and live actively has made a tremendous difference and improved the positive lives of vulnerable people. We provide a non-judgmental and culturally appropriate support service personalised to provide the maximum level of independence, encouragement, and stimulation.
