Case Studies Case Study One Over 8 period of several month$, the ¢lient- a 2&year•okl male- engaged with support through PRE groups delivered within hostel settings. He had a long-standing history of substance use, including alcohol, crack cocaine, heroin. and prescription medications such as pregabalin and diazepam. He 8tso dlsplayed antisocial behaviours and had spent much of his life in prison or temporary accommodation. Al the point of initiol engagernent. he presented as highly aggressive and was frequently under the influence of substances. He had been evicted from several hostels in Blad(bum due to assaults, criminal damage, threats lo kill, vert)al abuse, and unpaid debts. As a result, he was e￿remelY difficult to involve in recovery work, and attendance at seNices such as Spark was absent. Engagement began through discussions 8round shared intwests, particularly focrtball. This helped est8blish rapport. build trust, and support him to start r￿QgnisIng his own strengths. Through one40-one sessions. he grddually became more communicative and began artlculating his thoughts. challenges, and anknitions. A professional working relationship developed, and small. achievable goals were sel to encourage steady progress. Although substance use remained high, he achieved ear￿ mlestones that signalled emerging motivation. Over time. his interest in recovery increased.

In September 2024, after being admitted to hosprtal for alcohol-related Complications, she underwent another detox and was admitted to THOMAS earlier than planned. During assessment, she reported having a supportive partnerwho drank scci8lly and expressed concem for her two daughters living at home, both of whom were extremeEy worried about her wellbeing. She had not W0￿ed 5inGe 2016. when she was employed in a bar. Her physical hearth was poor, she had difficulty taking her prescribed medication consistently. Addkional heatth concerns included frequent falls while intoxicated, a history of epilepsy, and past slruggles wrth an eating disorder. She also reported a signrficantly reduced appeti￿. Her mental heatth had deterioreted considerably following the loss of both pafenls. She described spending several years largely confined to her bedroom and rarely leaving her home. Her time at THOMAS has been hYJhly beneficial. She partielpated in group sessions focused on add￿tOn-rel8ted behaviours, relapse preventlon, emotional regulalion, conflict resolution, and developing an understanding of addlction as a disease. Inrtially, she struggled to grasp the ¢oncepl of addiction and experienced hwh levels of anxiety when presenting in groups, often delaying her work to avoid Bharing. Additional one-to-one support was provided to help her build confidence. Regular vists from her daughters and partner hetred her rebuild Iwust and St￿ngthen family relationships.

Howevèr, staff noticed she struggled to eat without purging. Imlh sUPP¢rt from a staff member wth lived experlence, she contacted her GP and began recognisin9 her behaviours more clearly. As p8rt of the programme, she learned to budget a weekw allowance for essentials, a¢knowledgin9 her tendency toward impulsive spending and the importance of managing money responsibly rather than ￿lYIng on others. Although she complled with her mediesllon routine, she found it difficult lo independently arrange appoinlments and request pr¢$cription refills.

Case Study Three A male client from Bolton was referred to THOMAS through Salford Achieve. During the referr818nd asse55ment process, he disck￿ed a 16-year addiction to methadone. following prior use of cocaine and heroin. Coming from a close-knit family who were fully aware of his substance misuse, he had strong support from them in his recovery journey. However, their closeness also meant he had not developed independence, as his family managed many aspects of his life, including hi5 engagement with health services. Al the time of assessment, he admitted lo neglecting sem-care and reported having no hobbies or aspirations. Despite these challenges, he expressed a strong desire to change his lrfe and was willing lo do whatever it took. As part d the assessment, he revealed dI￿￿ultieS with reading and writing, leading to the identificalion of additional support needs for completing 12-Slep assignments. Althwgh he had no formal woth experience, he had been actively involved in assisting his family on their farm and wilhin the riding school. He le￿Ived one-to-one emotional and recovery support.

As part of group w¢rk, he part￿1pated in sessions focused on addres8ing addictbve behaviors, relapsè prevention, emolional management, conflict resolutk)n. and understsnding addiction as a disease. Iniiially, he was hesitant to express his struggles w5th some of the concepts. Since he was receiving literacy support with assignments, his lack of understanding was not immediately apparent. However, once he fett ¢omfortable being honest about hls diff￿ultIes, his support was adapted. He transitioned to working One￿n￿ne with his Key Worker, engaging in Big Book Studies rather than presenting written assiJnments in group settings. Through this pro￿55, he identified harmful behaviouTS and developed an increased awareness of applying spiritual principles from Iho 12&ep programme to facilitate personal change. Before admission. he acknowledged neglecting his diet and was supported in understanding the fundamentsls of a healthy, balanced dlet. His awareness of cooking skills was minimal. but wlth guidance from staff and peers, he particlpated in regular cooking sessions. These sessions helped him recognize how simple and manageable Co￿1ng can be, and he FS encouraged to continue building these skills. He also engaged with clinical services to ensure he was only tsking ne￿&Sary P￿cribed medications. This required hlm to acknowledg8 that he had previously used certain medlcations for their mind-altering effects and had not aNvays been truthful at¢ut his symptoms. Budgeting and financial management were suqnrfj'cant challenges for him, as his finances had previously bean managed by his aunt. Initialty, he struggled with planning and budgeting for personal expenses. However, through structured support. he has gained a better understsnding of the ¢o$t of everyday items and has developed the ability to budget accofdingly. Throughout his remery, he h88 W0￿ed hard to maintain strong relationships with his family while also helping them better understsnd addiGtion and the principles of the 12-Step program. His engagement in activities has remalned consistent, and he is being encouraged to explore different recreational pursuts lo identify those he 8njoy5.

T.H.O.MA.S. (THOSE ON THE MARGINS OF A SOCIErY) (A company Ilmlted by guarantee) TRUSTEES, REPORT (continued) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025 PLANS FOR FLrruRE PERIODS . FUTURE DEVELOPMENTS Looking ahead, the charty has identified several strategic prior￿leS to strength8n seNice delivery. enhance organisational sustainabilty, and maximise our impact across the communilies we aenle. A key prlorty is the continuation of our Current sub¢or)tract with Greater Manchester Mental Health (GMMH) NHS Foundation Trust across Bolion, Salford, and Trafford. Wrth the contrdct due to be retendered in the new financial year, maintaining our position within this partnership will be critical for ensuring service continuty and preserving our operational footprint in these areas. In preparation, we will ftxus on evidencing Elrong p@rform8nce out¢omes, damonslrating value for money. and hbjhlighling the pcsitive impact we deliver to lo¢al communities. Strengthening rel8llonships wrth commissioners and stakèholders, enhancing service quality. and ensuring full compliance with contra¢tU81 and regulatory requirements will underpin our t8nder readines$. Alongside this work, the PRE {Promoting Recovery Engagement) project has Gontinued to perfomi strongty. deliverlng high engagement and positive outcomes for parti¢ipants. Building on this SUGcess, we see considerable opportunitie8 to expand PRE wilhin the Blsckburn with Damen area. Over the coming year. we wtll work to raise the project's visibility, broaden Teferral pathways, and strengthen coll8bor8tion with local partners to ensure that individuals who would benefit mosl from early recovery-focused interventions can access limely support, Increasing delivery capacity and exploring new community4)ased opportunities will allow us lo exiend PRE'S reach and contribute more widely to local health and wellbeing priortti8S. We will also undertake a comprehensive remodelling of the Bofton service to ensure it is fully aligned with Current and emerging business needs. This review will examine staffing structures. operational processes, resource allocation, and support pathways with the aim of creating a more flexible, sustainable, and outc¢mes-dTivén nM)del. The charity will also continue lo build on Its spot-pur¢hase provision at Wrtion Bank, Blackbum, by responding to local authorty tenders acro65 England to secure new contracts that align with our 8rea8 of expertise. In addition, we aim to subm([ blds that may support the reopening of our charity shops in Accrington, subject to financial viability 8nd local demand. Another strategic priority will be the development of a stronger and more modern social media presence. To date, the charity has not fully utilised digital platforms to raise awareness, engage supporters, or showcase the knpact of our work. Cver the coming year, we will implement a cohesive social media strategy, focusing on consi*ent rnessaging, impactful storytelling, and dats4riven Insight$ to reach wider eudiences. This will include clearer branding, enhanc&d engagement with service users and partner organisations, and the use of analytics to measure reach and effectivene8s. A rnore structured approxh to digital communicallon will help increase visibilty, $UPPOrt fundraising efforts, and 8trenglhen community engagement acr055 the organisation. Finally, the charty will begin the proce85 of divesting its two existing charty shop$, as they no longer align with our current business needs or strategic direction. In recent years, retail oper8tion5 have faced financial and operational challenges, and their contrIbut￿n to organisational objectives has reduc8d.
