Section D Achievements and performance
**Summary of the main achievements of the charity during the year**
March 2020 seen the nation go into lockdown. CCR responded by obtaining a business Zoom account and coordinating and supporting our creative and wellbeing group facilitators in delivering online activities and connections. This was in place by the first week of April. It included our choir, creative writing, yoga, a weekly check in group; we added a Sunday weekly quiz and weekly drama workshops. The two staff phoned volunteers, who suddenly found themselves without their normal structure and connection and the most vulnerable of those engaged with CCR on a weekly basis (more regularly if necessary.) We provided reconditioned android phones, data credit and laptops to those that were disconnected from the online world. Some of whom were in emergency accommodation outside of Brighton or in hostels locked down. A facebook page was instigated that was more interactive than our main page. Useful links and guidance could be posted to it as well some light hearted content. Financial assistance was granted to facilitators to access online training and enhance their skill base. This also helped with maintaining mental health and recovery. In June/July once lockdown started to ease and public health guidance was issued around support groups meeting in person some of our groups started to meet, socially distanced in out side spaces. Many people engaged with Cascade Creative Recovery live in poor accommodation and/or on their own. Increasing the chances of declining mental health and relapse. August we reinstated our recovery coaching which we had suspended two years before due to lack of resource. This provided one to one support for very vulnerable people who often have complex needs. We delivered an online project with our drama and writing group and choir that resulted in a film called the Coronalogues. This project provided focus and meaningful activity for 50 people over 4 months. It premiered at the Depot Cinema in Lewes in September and provided an uplift in spirits and moral. As we moved into the autumn and a change in weather, we realised outdoor based activity would need to be curtailed as our hub remained closed because it was not fit for purpose and too small for social distance and had poor ventilation. Late September we negotiated room hire at the Brighthelm community centre in central Brighton so up to 15 people could gather safely per government guidance. We organised a carefully managed open day so those that were digitally excluded could find out what we had to offer. Working with various larger service providers we engaged with 80 people on the day. We delivered our groups in the Brighthelm, adding to our portfolio with art and mindfulness. Once we went into the winter lockdown early in 2021 we went back online. We added a daily post to our social media called Elevenses That had a theme of gratitude and connection and involved contributions from volunteers and facilitators. We signed a one year lease in January with the Brighthelm Centre for office space and large room use including their auditorium. This meant that a decision was made to close our coffee shop/hub and through March it was dismantled which was quite problematic due to social distancing laws and the number of people allowed in the space. In March 2021 we restarted our two support groups in the Brighthelm, having identified peoples resilience was at a low ebb due to isolation.

Section D Achievements and performance
We had thousands of interactions, providing support, structure, focus and connection for people trying to maintain their recovery from addiction and helping to maintain their mental health throughout 2020-21. We averaged between 130-150 engaged people in our groups with extra support given to around 15-20 very vulnerable at risk people per week. Group engagement dropped by 20% during the summer months of July and August but picked up again in the Autumn. Our managed, group specific WhatsApp groups provided peer connection throughout the week for around 160 people. Our Facebook page (You are not alone-Covid Recovery Support) set up in April 2020 had 700 followers and some posts from our main page reaching several thousand people.

## **INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT**
## Independent Examiners Report
This report is to the Trustees and members of Cascade Creative Recovery (Charity Number 1154002) and covers accounts prepared in the year ending 1 April 2021.
## Respective Responsibilities of Trustees and Examiner
The charity's trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The charity's trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 (the Charities Act) and that an independent examination is needed. It is my responsibility to:
- examine the accounts under section 145 of the Charities Act,
- to follow the procedures laid down in the general directions given by the Charity Commission (under section 145(5)(b) of the Charities Act), and
- to state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
Basis of Independent Examiner's statement
My examination was carried out in accordance with general directions given by the Charity Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity. As this is the first operating year there are no comparisons to be reviewed. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from the trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a 'true and fair' view and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below.
Independent Examiner's statement
In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention (other than that disclosed below):
- (1) which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in, any material respect, the requirements: - to keep accounting records in accordance with section 130 of the Charities Act; - to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the Charities Act have not been met; or
- (2) to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper
understanding of the accounts to be reached.

## **INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT**
## Independent Examiners Report
This report is to the Trustees and members of Cascade Creative Recovery (Charity Number 1154002) and covers accounts prepared in the year ending 1 April 2021.
## Respective Responsibilities of Trustees and Examiner
The charity's trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The charity's trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 (the Charities Act) and that an independent examination is needed. It is my responsibility to:
- examine the accounts under section 145 of the Charities Act,
- to follow the procedures laid down in the general directions given by the Charity Commission (under section 145(5)(b) of the Charities Act), and
- to state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
Basis of Independent Examiner's statement
My examination was carried out in accordance with general directions given by the Charity Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity. As this is the first operating year there are no comparisons to be reviewed. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from the trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a 'true and fair' view and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below.
Independent Examiner's statement
In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention (other than that disclosed below):
- (1) which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in, any material respect, the requirements: - to keep accounting records in accordance with section 130 of the Charities Act; - to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the Charities Act have not been met; or
- (2) to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper
understanding of the accounts to be reached.
