City OF Escape Foundation
Trustees Annual Report
The City of Escape Foundation is continuing in its efforts to provide effettive mental health and support both
within and across the community sector.is continuing in its pursuits of providing effective and supportive
mental health within the community setting. There is still an ever-present surge in mental health across all
sectors of the cornmunity that is continuing to increase at an alarming rate. The Foundation is continuing to
seek ways through its dedicated proErams. to help alleviate this concern. The area of mental health
tontinues to be of vital importante to the City of Escape Foundation as we firmly believe that it is vitallv
important that individuals can seek support and advice given the lack of resources that have become
available to them. Our own pool of volunteers comes with varying degrees of professionalism encompassing
Mental Health, Teaching Engineering and Nursing. Thi5 allows individua15 5eekin8 help with a great depth of
both knowledge and experience. We are of the firm belief that the demand for emotional and academic
support within this arena will continue and the issuè of emotional and academic support will continue in
presenting further challenges for communities. We have therefore seen it necessary to combine our efforts
with similar organisations so that we can be an effective for￿ not just within the immediate community but
across all the community sectors.
Community Outreach Work. Mental Health Support= This area of work remains the cornerstone of the
Foundation. We have evidenced the impact the current socio-economic climate and the post pandemic
issue5 have had on individuals and their families, which in turn has impacted the mental health of both
children and adults. To negate some of these fears we have continued to implement our Mental Health
Workshops which provides a forum for individuals to attain adequate support and advice where necessary. In
addition. our dedicated counselling program allows individuals to tackle their issues. The food donation
program remains a vital component of the foundaiion as lamilies continue to struggle economically and see
this as a means of support. We understand this will continue to be the case as the ever-changing economic
uncertainty. We have become mindful that this trend may well continue and we are therefore seeking ways
to possibly expand in this area further due to the demand
Children's Programlyoung People Mentoring.. The Foundation is of the firm belief that focusing on this area
of work with children and young people is the building block for their future but provides them with the skS115
and tools in helping them to navigate life as they become older. There are now very limited resources
available to them, particularly after school hours. We have found that this precipitates a vast array of issues
from gan8 culture to crime. We can offer dedicated support to those individuals that can often be mi55ed in
schools in the areas of academic support and social understanding. The programs can help them to gain
greater insi8ht of self but equally focus on areas of academic concern so that they may feel confident when
approaching school and respective examinations. Our Pastoral support can make a significant difference to
thelr Ilves as well as provldin8 an effective forum for their voices to be heard. In 3ddition, we also work wlth
parents and carers of these children and young people 50 that the work extends also to home to further
emphasise their learning and development.
Gan8/Knife Awarene55 Program: A challenge within and across communities. We have continued to see thi5
as an increasing cause for concern. We have discovered that this area has now become even more intricate
and complex,. however, we are remaining determined to help in alleviating this on80ing and problematic
issue. Our Street Pastors continue in their efforts in trying to reach out in this area from a Christian
perspective and in some instances, it has been received positively. Our focus will continue to remain,
particularly for those seeking to remove themselves from being affiliated to the gang and knife crime culture.
We ate no beginning to see this formulating from a much earlier age. and we are therefore reviewing new
Wa￿ in which we can work and seeking closer affiliation with specific organisations specialising within this
area of work.The Trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records that disclose with
reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and to enable them to ensure that the
financial Statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. The Trustees are also responsible for safeguarding
the assets of the charity and hence taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and
other irre8ularitie5.
