ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE Charitable activities

How our activities deliver public benefit

Every year we conduct an annual review and look at the effectiveness of the different service elements that are being delivered, in this reporting period the loss of a building through fire has had some impact on the delivery with having less rooms. To combat this staff now work over 7 days and evenings to make better use of the rooms that we do have.

We use in house feedback forms, consultation events and the Peer Led Research team to ensure that the services we are delivering are useful and meeting the needs of the carer. In addition to this we use the Carer Service Outcomes Profile which is a self-evaluation by carers completed every 12 weeks and focuses on 8 key areas including the understanding of substances, the relationship with the loved one, the family and the wider community, feelings of wellbeing, resilience and coping with the caring role. As with previous years it is without question that the services we provide as beneficial to not only the carer but secondary to their loved ones.

The after effects of the cost of living crisis, covid combined with the immense stress and anxiety of dealing with a loved one affected by addiction has catastrophic consequences, including a feeling of declining ability to cope, increased reporting of multi level deprivation households, a feeling of reduced physical health, food and fuel insecurity, insecure or unsuitable housing combined with huge reports of social isolation and increase in caring responsibilities. Helping carers to look after themselves and look to resolve their issues provides great benefit to the carer themselves, their loved ones and family and the wider community.

Telephone support

SAPS continue to provide advice over the phone, including out of hours. Carers report that they like their accessibility of the service and being able to get in touch when they need help or are in crisis. We offer emotional and practical support putting the needs of carers first.

The demand for telephone support, online counselling and face to face counselling has increased exponentially. Carers are feeling the strain of the cost of living crisis, struggling to provide their families with the basics such as food, gas and electric. Many find themselves behind with essential bills such as rent, council tax and water.

Parent and Carer Education and Training

Parent and Carer education and training is a key part to understanding addiction, empowering the carer and enabling the family to move forward in their journey. Its aims are to:

  1. Better equip the family to deal with substance misuse

  2. Increase self esteem

  3. Introduce coping strategies

  4. Build social relationships

  5. Increase resilience

This year we have delivered a number of courses including Drug and Alcohol Awareness, Caring for the Carer, Mindfulness, Sleep Therapy and interest courses used as respite including creating enterprise, arts and crafts, sewing and cooking on a budget.

Group Support

We continue to offer group sessions on a formal and informal basis, and as requested by the Voice of SAPS (Carer Consultation Group) and carers we have delivered a 'pick n mix' menu and have delivered a number of groups.

SUNDERLAND AREA PARENT SUPPORT LIMITED

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 OCTOBER 2023

On average we deliver 7 peer support groups encompassing evenings and weekends and 4 therapeutic / respite groups per week and carers have reported good outcomes in terms of increased resilience and improved psychological wellbeing and feeling socially included.

Counselling

Counselling continues to be in demand and in the past year we have delivered 1721 sessions. We continue to facilitate the placements of 5 Sunderland and Newcastle University students.

Clients are reporting better treatment outcomes when counselling is introduced into their personalised care plan and has proven particularly useful in assisting clients who are making decisions about how to best support their loved one this has been much more prevalent throughout the pandemic and cost of living crisis.

One to One Support

We continue to provide one to one support has always been key to supporting clients. We have increased the number of sessions we provide by training volunteers to assist in the delivery of the sessions, we now have 9 qualified volunteers assisting in delivering these sessions. We continue to do one to one sessions within community based settings and in a clients home when necessary.
