children and young people with SEND registered with our charity and since November 2020 when we
launched our new seNice, RANSS (Rolherham Adult Neurodiversity Support Service) we have

Equal access lo our seivices is a principal issue for us and over the past year we conducted an
equalities study to look al the demographics of tho people that we are supporting. The data showed that
we are in line with local statistics except for family carers that we support. We primarily engage with
mum's and female carers and will look to address this in our future plans with work lo also encourage
dad's and m8le carers to b8come more involved.
From tslking to families, it is known that membership lo Ihe forum and engaging in the activities provided
has a positive impact on the emotional wellbeing of parents. as thay aro accesslng peer support and
spending time with other families who sharg similar experiences.
Parents are also more empowered and better infornied to play an active part of their chikl's health and
education.

Su
ort SeNices
Within our work, il is recognised that being the sibling of a child with SEND can also be difficult. We
therefore a150 run a weekly sibling 5UPPOrt group throughout Ihe year.
The group is focused on the young person who has a brother or sister with an additional need. From
experience, although siblings do an amazing job in supporting their brother or sistels additional need,
there is often anxiety, questions. worries elc. around this.
Each session is positive, based on fun activities. whith allow the young person to discuss their fears but
also celebrate their skills, current coping 51ralegies, and support them in ueating further ones.11 also
allows young people lo recognisa that they are not alone and 'normalise' their anxieties and foelings.
The aims of the group are lo re(luce isolation for young people by enabling them to meet others who
share similar experiences of a brother or sister's difficulties and how thgy can affect everyday family life.
These groups are run by a member of our team who is a trained counsellor, qu81ified personal life coach
and was Dreviouslv a DrimaTY school teacher, so has experience workina in thls area.

funding arrange￿entS bul also to develop further as follows:
NSS
Service developed to enhance the offèr for historically diagnosed people vthich ￿1[ Include group work,
events and activities as well as a limited number of one-tfrone Peer Support appointmonts. Through Current
work. we have established that there is a neod lor this group of people to also acce5S SUPPOrt. We are also
wanting lo create a stakeholder group so that thè people accessing this service can come together to
influence local orovision.

We bwanl to re-eslablish the support for male parents and carers. Prior lo CovKI we had sel up a monthly
Saturday morning Male Parèntlcarer Club vthere men could bring their children and young people ICYPI vitth
SEND and their siblings lo a moming of Lego. conslruth'on. games. refreshments etc. nSne dads and 12 CYP
vhth SEND attended.
We dld some consultation ond established that the primary are88 to develop we￿-
Reducing isolation through building relationships and support networks within the group
Improving mood and wellbeing and finding OPPOrtunilies lo make lime for themselves
The group was cancelled In Ma￿h 2020 due to lockdo￿ reslrrctions and whilst explored the option of
virtual rnèel ups, none of the men th81 had attended were al all interested in this.
Now the feslrictions are no longer in place we do need to rfrestablish this aclivsty as it was Su￿$$fUl. The
men were getting support whilst feeling like they were helping their partners and spending time wlh their
Children.

Counsellin
In relation to our counselling service as the team is currentiy developing their skills and knowledgè. we are
really hoping lo establish a service for children and young people wlh SEND and their 5ibling5.
In relalKJn lo future plans for the charity in general, as demand for our activi11gs is incr9asing. we are also
hoping lo expand our office space. To the rear of our current premises is a large garden with a sf(ed cabin
which is currently not being used. We want lo develop the outdoor space to be able lo cary out our work. The
main barrier is making this area wheelchaiT accessible but lo date we have been unsuccessful in securing
funding. This is something that we hope to rectify in the coming months.
We are also looking into working towards a quality mark and are currently looking into Improving Quality IIQ)
as il is the only sectoral quality mark that cover5 the w(th( of charit￿s. IQ addresses 811 the key areas of
(Kganisational lrfè in four elements as follows:
Accountsble- Good Govemance, LgadeTrhip and management
Welcoming- Involving Service users, man8ging 8nd developing Stsff and Volunteers, Equality and
Diversily and workinq others
Effective- refers to the services that an organisalion provides and the planning, delivery, monitoring 8nd
evaluation that the oroanisalions carries out
Sustsinable- How the organisation manages, risk, money and the resources lo make seryice delivery
happen
We fe61 this VAII support us to onsure wg havg effedivo management and govemarKe.
We h8ve also identified a gap in our current actiwty in relation to Preparation for Adutthood. Whilst we support
parents and carers in our Famity Peer Support Service and Neuro4iverse adutts through RANSS, we have
realised that there is a need to support young people aged fourteen and above.
We arè planning lo factlitale opportunities for young people lin particular neuro-diverse young people) to
explo￿ aspirations and navi9ale next steps through understandin9 what their diagnosis means lo them, clear
information about adult services and opportunities and identifying key partners on the journgy. incIL￿ing
education, heakh and care colleagues.
Flnancial review and r•$er¥ès pollcy
The charity trustses have examined th8 charl￿$ requirements for reserves considering the main risks to the
organi5alion.11 has established a policy whereby the unrestricted funds held by the charity should be between
3 and 6 months of the expenditure. Currently. as much of the charity's income is from grants and contracts
ar￿ must be spent by a particular lime. the organisalion does not hold this level of reserves.
Thare is awareness of the importance of building Ihe required level and this will be a priority over the coming
period.
As at 31 July 2021 the company had fre& reseNes not inv8sled in fixed assets of £2,50412020-. £2.1821- Th8
reserves policy requires 3 months running costs which is approximately £64.412. The charitable company
aims lo increase this over the next few years.
