Objectives & Activities
The charity's objects are lil lo relieve the needs of disabled people, particularly, bul not exclusively, children, young people,
their parents, carers and families lill to further any other such purposes deemed charitable by the law of England and
Wales as the Iruslees shall from time lo time decide. These objects are captured more succinctly in our mission
slalement". "to empower, inform and support parents and families of children and young people with spe¢i81 educational
needs and disabilities in West Sussex..
Revlew of the Year
2024-25 was a record year for the number of families we were able lo provide with direct, in-person support. Over 3,000
families benefited from training, benefits advice, ND support, befriending, support groups and short-lerm case work.
Countless more accessed our information resources or joined our Facebook group.
The advent of our ND Navigation Service
designed to support parents of children and young people waiting on
assessment for ADHD and Autism
had a great deal to do with the increase in the scale of our provision
over 500
families supported in its first fLJII year. Given the setvice focusses on helping families access support whilst they wait for
assessment, it inevitably led to in-house referrals to OLJr training provision, peer support and benefits advice. As a result
more than 60°k of parents are now engaging with our services in multiple ways. The trustees are particularly pleased by
this varied support as it greater benefits parents and more broadly, vindicates our strategy of building a one stop shop of
complimentary services.
New investment in our Benefits Advice Service from the National Lottery Community Fund enabled us to recruit more staff
and in tum increase the scale of our delivery. By the year end we also received further investment in our ND Navigation
Service from NHS Sussex which wll also increase capacity, reduce waiting times and enable us to undertake more face-
to-face support in community settings.
Meeting demand continues lo be a significant challenge lo the organization. During the year we were only able to offer
spaces lo 27 /0 of parents who tried lo book on one of ourtraining workshops whilst all of our services continued to operate
th wailing lists. Whilst we continue to do all we can to fundraise and increase the capacity of our services, the trustees
and senior management have also begun exploring allernalive delivery methods lo complement existing delivery and
improve access for parents.

Information Resources
Our major focus in 2024-25 was editing a new edition of our popular parent-carer guide, Making Sense of It All, which wll
be published In 2025. Both our book and factsheels continued lo be used In high volume throughout the year.
Tralnlng
Such is the acute demand for our training provision we achieved a remarkable new record in 2024-25- a workshop selling
out within one minute of our training schedule being published.
Whilst we are thrilled our wort(shops are so valued by parents, we tske no pleasure in waiting lisls13.1791 being greater
than the number of parents who were able to attend11,2091. We Continue lo do all we can lo raise funds to expand our
training delivery but in the absence of significant new investment, are now exploring other Cost effe¢live ways of delivering
training content and maximising the number of parents we can support.
Benefits Advice Service
Thanks to a three year grant from the National Lottery Community Fund (Reaching Communities) we were able to invest
in new staff and expand the scope of our Benefits Advice Service during 2024-25. This enabled us to support a record
number of families12791 with a record number of claims13391 and in doing so helped families raise £3.2 million.
Peer Support
Connecting parenl-carers wlh peers who empathise, share eXperien￿S and offer mutual support is one of the most
important elements of our service. In 2024-25 we helped over 1,500 parent-carers across West Sussex make connections
via our befriending service, Umbrellas support groups and Facebook group.
The trustees are particularfy grateful lo our team of 28 volunteers who play such an important role in the delivery of our
befriending service.
ND Navigation Service
2024-25 marked the first full year of our new ND Navigation Service, designed to support families navigating the
assessment procèss for ADHD, autism and other neurodivergent conditions. 549 families benefited from the project in the
first year, a remarkable achievement for a new service and a leslimony to the hard work and dedication of the ND team.
Short Term Case Work
As more families struggle to access slalulory services so there has been increasing demand on our teams to provide
altemalive support. During 2024-25 we helped 600 families wth general requests for information, advice, signposting and
referral. We receive no additional funding for this element of our work but the general policy of the Iruslees is not to turn
families away if we are able lo provide help, albeit in a limited capacity and strictly within our area of knowledge and
expertise.
Fundraising
We maintained our re￿nt pallern of attracting new funders lo Reaching Families thanks to grants from the Broyst
Foundation. February Foundation, the Hopper Trust, Michael Comish Charitable Trust and the Shanly Foundation. The
trustees were particularly grateful lo receive two unsolicited grants of £10.000 from the Hopper Trust and £5.000 from
