Summary ofthe main achievements ofthe charity, identifying the difference the charity's work has made to the circumstances of its beneficiaries and any wider benefits to society as a whole.				Para 1.20	and, over time, build their own confidence and skills, for example via our English classes (ESOL),to be able to grow in independence. Our informal ESOLclasses are run twice weekly at present, with particular focus on older users who may previously have had little or no language learning. Our current attendance figures averaged about 20
					each session.
					Our sewing classes have proved to be popular, with attendance ofaveraging 10people per session, we are able to
					offer opportunity for users to use sewing machines (many for the first
					time) while providing a gentle introduction to learning English.
					We also aim to provide a place for users
					to meet and make friends with shared
					experiences. Many users report their feelings of isolation and loneliness as newly arrived members ofthe Hull community. users are always free to come at any time to sit and talk to the staff and volunteer as we here to help
					as we do not judge people for their
					circumstances.
					Users are welcome to attend for as long
					as the feel they need to.We are very
					much a needs-driven charity.
					We have forged strong links with other
					agencies and charities to support our
					work:
					With Hull university we have the
					informal ESOLclasses which are led by
					PHD university lecture and his students.
					We have recently begun a partnership with Maternal Mental Health Project with
					a particular focus on those who have experienced miscarriage. Mental health has always been afocus for our work, and we are pleased to be able to offer
					this opportunity. We currently have a consortium project
					with Youth Aspire Connect (YAC) to encourage young people from low- income families to engage in social
					action. We provided free annual trips
					either directly or in association with

Youth Aspire e.g. City ofOxford, Bridlington beach and Honeysuckle Farm. In total we impacted more than 50
families with these activities.
Through work with our partners at the Pathfinder initiative we are able to offer week-long driving lessons for 16-18-
year-olds. We are based at Oasis Hub which
means we are very accessible, and can
direct users to other support e.g., foodbank which run at the venue. Italso
means we are in an area and building
where people are welcomed and feel
safe.
People are directed to our service through: (Hull CVS) we also have referrals from current users and former
users ofour service.
