2. Providin8 peer support
Our Peer Support Service delivered l..1 support, peer support groups, drop-ins and information sessions in
community venues across the city. Through our small grants programme. we funded other organisations to run
events for families with disabled children during the school holidays. We also continued to run our own familv
event5 and outreach activities. Through the Autism in Schoo15 and PINS projects, we ran regular parent groups

U5 evidence to Support consultations with service providers, and influence policie5 which affect these children
and families and the wider community. Training will help to increase professional and public knowledge and
awareness of the barriers faced by disabled children and their families.
In carrying out these activities, the trustees have had regard to the guidance issued by the Charity Commission
on public benefit.
