## _Note from the Chair_ 

This year has been one of significant transformation for FiG. We were delighted to welcome our new CEO, Naomi Jefferies, in May 2023. Naomi has adeptly guided us through numerous changes in staff, office and service operations. We are optimistic about a period of stability in 2024/2025. 

One of the most notable changes was our relocation in September 2023 from Bideford to Castle Lodge in Barnstaple. The lodge required extensive renovations, but thanks to the generous contributions from local businesses, the dedication of our volunteers, and the hard work of our staff and their families, we now have a welcoming office space. This new office allows us to better support families and young individuals, providing a base for support, meetings and daily operations. 

In June, we bid farewell to Abi Mandeville, our FSO, who embarked on her travels. We welcomed Etelka Moon as our new FSO in September, along with Jo Bradford as our new administrator. Both have brought invaluable expertise and skills to our team. 

Our profile in the community has grown through various fundraising initiatives, training events and Clare Maynard’s excellent communications work. This increased visibility is crucial, as it ensures that those in need are aware of who we are, what we do, and how to reach us. Our referral rate has risen by 35% and continues to grow. 

In response to feedback from the children and families we support, as well as other charities, and due to the increasing complexity of referrals, we reviewed our support offerings. After a six-month pilot of different bereavement support methods, we conducted a thorough review. Moving forward, we will continue group support for primary children and parents and expand our services to include support in schools (primary, secondary, and college settings), art workshops for creative grief exploration, and outdoor sessions for bereaved young people to connect through shared activities. We will keep adapting and evaluating our support to best meet the needs of those we serve. This has also led us to review our staff skills to ensure we provide the highest quality support for bereaved families in Northern Devon. 

Our incredible staff team has risen to these challenges. I want to express my deepest gratitude for their hard work and dedication in managing these changes. We are confident that these service improvements will greatly benefit our bereaved families, and we are immensely grateful to our team for making this possible. 

Lastly, a heartfelt thank you to our wonderful volunteers. Your endless hours of fundraising and family support, utilising your skills and talents, are invaluable to FiG and the families we support. You are truly amazing. Thank you.
