Aiming Higher for the Disabled Community Trustee Report April 2022 to March 2023
The staff team at Aiming Higher continued to provide the much-needed support, both through our family support service and our family and under 5’s activities. Our soft play and sensory centre on the ground floor of our building in central Blackpool, was opened for group activities, ensuring a safe space for families with disabled children and young people to meet, play and get much needed peer support from other families. The positive impact this had on the families we support was evident, as we continue to see the impact of the Covid 19 restrictions and lockdown which resulted in further isolation of these families, who already at times feel isolated and alone.
Our Board of Trustees, consisting of a wide range of experience from local health care leaders, business leaders and communication experts alongside parent/carers, continued to support our staff team, enabling them to provide quality services, offering strong governance, bringing their business expertise to the board as well as the lived experience of the challenges and problems around raising a disabled child.
During this year, we were able to continue supporting our families through our Resilience Project, funded by The Big Lottery Community Foundation Grant and our Early years Children in Need Grant. We also provided a range of social activities to young people with ASD, funded by Blackpool Council.
Families continued to request help with housing, benefits, health, education, and social care and were supported, both virtually and face to face during the on ongoing cost of living crisis and we have engaged the local MP to raise the issues the familes we support are facing on a day to day basis.
Blackpool continues to be recognised as an area where social and financial deprivation are prevalent. Our staff team have continued to offer the vital support that our families have come to rely on. Unfortunately we always have a waiting list, with self-referrals, as well as referrals from Social Services, Education, other third sector organisations and word of mouth. This constant stream of referrals is proof that Aiming Higher needs to continue its work across the communities we support.
Fundraising continues to be a challenge, however thanks to our grant writing team, we have been fortunate to have received funds and grants from various sources, to enable us to continue supporting the families that rely on us so much.
However, during this financial year, for the first time since COVID, we held our fundraising ball. Thanks to the hard work, support and determination of everyone involved we raised almost £ 10,000.

Slater Gordon, Glasdon, Carlos Newman, PJB Accounting, Jeanette Dervish, Asda, The Buffaloes, Lancashire Magazine, One Fylde, Jack Bell Ladies Lunch, Katie Peplow, Fylde Ladies Bowling, Fylde Netball League, Billy Fury, Queen’s Hotel and Fylde Country Dancing, to name a few, generously supported us with donations.
In addition, The Co-Operative, Payback Time, The Alan Halsall Foundation,The Charity’s Trust, The Grocers Charity, Anton Jurgen, Groundworks and Hedley Foundation all gave us grants to support the various activities and services Aiming Higher provides
The Children in Need and Big Lottery funding enabled us to continue with our targeted Family Support and pre-school Direct Services. We were commissioned by Blackpool Council to provide The A-Team Service, a social provision for young people with s diagnosis of ASD.
We were also fortunate to receive some funding from Blackpool Council to assist our families directly with the Cost of Living Crisis that was, and still is, having a massive impact.
Lancashire Magazine continues to support us. In addition to regular financial donations, the magazine publishes a monthly feature, keeping the readership updated with our activities and fundraising opportunities and our gratitude goes to Natalie Christopher for facilitating this and continuing to support us in her role as Patron. Our Ambassador scheme continues to develop and the support the ambassadors give us enable new avenues of fundraising to be opened, including new adventures in our great outdoors with the Snowden Challenge, we must thank Jason Rawles of Aspire Adventures for his continued support.
Our thanks go to everyone who has given us the support needed through continued challenging times. This support has enabled us to provide the much-needed services and activities that our families have relied on and continue to do so.
We must give special acknowledgement to our amazing staff team, who continue to surprise us with the incredible outcomes they achieve. In addition, their ongoing support and commitment to the families that Aiming Higher supports, often facing challenging situations, is an indication of their dedication to the charity.
In addition, we acknowledge that without all who give their time by providing maintenance to our building, volunteering their time freely and supporting us in a variety of other ways, Aiming Higher would struggle to deliver the vital services and help to families in Blackpool, Fylde and Wyre.
Aiming Higher will continue to provide the services that families so desperately need to help them face their challenges, no matter what the future holds, with the on-going support from our Trustee Board, Patron and local businesses and organisations, with funding from grants, sponsorship, donations, and fundraising.
On behalf of our families, our staff team, volunteers and Board of Trustees, thank you to all who help us make such a difference to the lives of families caring for disabled children and young people in the local area
Paul Jebb Chair, Board of Trustees
