2.4 Play therapy (Under 12s) 2.4.1 Play therapy delivery Play therapy is a type of therapy that helps children to explore their feelings, to express themselves and to make sense of their difficult life experiences. ChiLdren are given a safe and confidentiaL space where they are free to explore their expression through play, which is the child's naturalway of learning. communicating. and exploring theirworld, Children use play first and speech second. Recovery from difficult life experiences can be heLped by a play therapist alLowing a child space to express themselves in a safe and trusting environment. Play therapy gives children the opportunity to explore and understand their feelings, It can help them to change theirview of the trauma of abuse so that they are less likely to blame themselves. The resulting increased self-esteem can help the child cope with future difficuLties in the worLd. We have 3 play therapists working at Lifecentre, Together they have delivered 332 sessions to 56 children under the age of ii. 2.4.2 Play therapy outcomes (Under 12s) Outcomes (Under 12s): Child feels safer 83/ Child has benefited from counselling el I can explore emo l am getting better at understanding how I feel ond talking to others.

  1. WRAP-AROUND SUPPORT SERVICES & OUTCOMES 3.1 Client wellbeing and holistic support 3.1.1 AduLt survivor support groups This year we continued to provide psychoeducational groups for suivivors. These are stabilisation groups of 6 sessions. The aim of the group is to help survivors understand the impact of trauma and help them to develop some techniques to cope with some of the inipact of that trauma. Each session ended with some mindfulness. so clients finish in a safe space. The 68 clients that benefitted from the 8 groups we ran reporting positive outcomes and found the peer support beneficial. 96/0 said they feLt more knowledgeable and empowered to progress after their involvement in the group. 91/0 said their participation in the group Left them feeling more able to cope and build resilience, allowing them to feel more prepared for the individual therapy sessions. 57/c* said that their participation on the group has impacted their feeLing of safety. 59/0 rated the content of the group session positively, 83% rated the impact of the group sessions on their health and weLlbeing positively. 78/ felt more equipped to dealwith the impact of triggers, difficult emotions and flashbacks following participation on the group.

"l found the course was an excellent precursor ror the 1-2-1 therapy, ensuring I have the mental tools to cope wtih what future emotions may arise during my therapy sessions. The facilitators were positive, empathetic and welcoming each week. I felt it was a safe place to talk and enjoyed the sessions very much. Thank you." 'It is very helpful and interesting to understand how my brain is processing my trauma.

The CEO chairs the Violence Against Women and Girls Forum. West Sussex Domestic and SexualAbuse and Violence Oversight Group and the Pan Sussex Sexualviolence and Abuse Partnership Group.

This includes helping partners, education establishments and the public to understand of the issues survivors face to try and help them to respond more appropriately to survivors needs. 24.

Education sector With support from West Sussex County Council, we developed a training course tailored for teachers and those who work with young people, This course has been designed to heLp school staff deepen their understanding of how issues such as masculinity, misogyny, gender-based abuse, and social media influencers are impacting young people, It equips staff with the confidence and skills to engage students in meaningful, reflective conversations around these topics. Additionally, the training provides practical tools that can be taught to young people, empowering them to take ownership and promote positive change. The team have delivered 20 sessions to 453 participants during this period, with more to come next year. ALI topic areas showed participants reporting an improvement in understanding with 75% ol participants reporting that the training would have a positive impact on their practice and interactions with young people.

3.4 Social Return on Investment Since the introduction of the Public Sector SociaL Value Act120121, Social Value has become an increasingly important aspect of the business. This is due to the greater need to procure better value for money and retain greater sums of economic benefit within the UK. The Social Value Business ISV81 and the SociaL Value Ouality Mark have a weaLth of experience supporting values-driven organisations to develop and grow, and they have accredited over loo organisations. Their experience has been gained from supporting the development of more than 30+ social enterprises, helping over 150+ organisations unlock rmore than £24.7bn in socialvalue. They are also the founders of the Socialvalue Quality Mark CIC. Social Return on Investment1SROII is a way of showing the true value of the work Lifecentre does. It transLates the life-changing support we offer into measurable economic and social impact. SROI is not a new approach or concept. It is buiLt on well-established evaluation approaches and on health and environmentaLeconomics. It focuses on answering five key questions.. Who changes?

Gathering evidence that goes beyond individuaL opinion. How much is you? Taking account of all other influences that might have changes things for the better. How important are the changes? Understanding the relative value of the outcomes in all people. organisations and environments affected, We wanted to use an experienced, independent evaluator to understand more about how Lifecentre niakes an impact.
