Report of the trustees for the year ended 30 November 2024
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 2023. 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
Despite the difficulties, OCL has continued to make a significant difference in the lives of those we support. Service user feedback has been overwhelmingly positive, with many expressing gratitude for the stability and and encouragement they receive. One service user recently commented: “Before I came here, I didn’t feel like I had a future. Now I feel listened to, supported, and I believe I can start building a life for myself.” Another remarked: “The staff treat me with respect. They help but they also give me space to do things on my own. That makes me feel proud.”
Our commitment to person-centred support has led to successful outcomes. Several service users have transitioned to more independent living arrangements, demonstrating the effectiveness of our approach. Others have begun volunteering or re-engaging with education, showing renewed confidence and a sense of belonging within the community. A case in point is “SM” (name anonymised), who moved into OCL accommodation earlier this year after experiencing a period of instability and social isolation. With tailored support, SM has begun to settle into a routine, reconnect with his interests, and take steps towards greater independence. His progress has been encouraging, and he has expressed that for the first time in years, he feels hopeful about the future. Another example is “M,” a woman with learning disabilities who initially struggled with day-to-day living skills and low self-esteem. Through patient support and encouragement, “M” has gained confidence in managing her personal care, budgeting, and preparing meals. She recently shared, “I never thought I could live on my own, but now I can see myself doing it one day.”
Stories like these reflect the dedication of our staff team, who continue to provide high-quality support despite financial and operational pressures. Their resilience, combined with the determination of our service users, remains central to our success.

We will also continue advocating for fair and sustainable funding in social care, recognising that long-term investment is essential for maintaining both quality and safety.
