Chair and Trustees Report
It’s been a privilege to work in collaboration with our Partners and an honour to serve our clients by working within local authority sites citywide across the Midlands and North England.
Local authorities and the National Health Service have collectively welcomed our research findings directly from the frontline of our services, contributing to the work of professors, lecturers, clinical trial managers and education course committee’s across majorly populated regions of England where demand is high for clinical intervention and improvement strategies.
Disadvantaged communities continue to remain dependent on NHS waiting lists and young people with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities, individuals at risk of self-harm and families/caregivers in need of specialist bereavement support continue to seek increased levels of support for their personal, emotional, social and overall wellbeing. The demand for our engagement with these groups continues from one month to another with hundreds of enquiries and limited resources to meet needs or exceed expectations. We remain dedicated to supporting hundreds of enquiries sustained through dedicated and specially trained volunteers.
## **Equity over Equality**
We nurture the quality of fairness and impartiality through equity over equality. We prioritise equity over equality, supporting Refugees in transforming lives through effective integration and imbedding their talents into society.
By understanding the issues of disadvantaged communities, we overcome problems through early intervention into behavioural therapies, education, developmental training and proactively supporting communities by prioritising improvement strategies with ecological and climate friendly projects. The charity delivers a dedicated therapeutic recovery program with a dual focus on disability, therapy through small animals supporting vulnerable groups.
By embracing people’s choices and aspirations to prosper, we enhance positivity by advocating for less advantaged communities, including patients seeking treatment pathways, from post Oncology through expert Trichology treatment plans, to therapy interventions for LGBTQ and improving lives for marginalised communities battling
substance addiction and rehabilitating lives into the community following prison release.
_Community disadvantage emerges out of the interplay between the characteristics of the residents in a community (e.g., employment, education levels, drug and alcohol use) and, over and above this, the effects of the social and environmental context in which they exist (i.e., "place effects" or "neighbourhood effects", such as weak social networks, poor role models and a relative lack of opportunity) (Edwards, 2005; Vinson, 2007)._
_**“We remain immensely grateful to everyone who has donated to us this year, making our work possible, that may have otherwise been a greater challenge in delayed assistance for the vulnerable. This includes our regular givers and everyone who has responded to intermittent appeals, donating hundreds of hours in volunteering educational expertise, or offered advice and guidance. We are also thankful to the organisations who have supported us, including The Woodland Trust, Amazon, Scholastic, Humane Society International, and The National Trust.”**_

## **STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT**
As Charity Trustees we have a duty to carry out our charity’s purposes for the public benefit, whilst collectively pursuing our achievements when planning activities. GODIVA GROUP is a Charitable Incorporated Organisation, incorporated on 22 April 2014. The charity was established and created by the Charities Act 2006 with a governing document as a memorandum and articles of association. Of charitable status, we have to the best of our ability and objectives, aimed for compliance in respect of the commissions public benefit guidance when exercising powers or duties to which the guidance is relevant.
## **Funders and financial review**
The charity is solely funded through Trustee donations. The total income for the year was £24,950. The total expenditure for the year was £15,800.
Expenditure included the following:
- Programmes and development
- Training costs including production of resources to travel expenses, events; particularly
- to raise charity awareness
- Overhead costs including Liability insurance and administration expenses
The charity has no subsidiaries and there were no related party transactions during the year. The Trustees give their time voluntarily.
## **Delivering public benefit**
GODIVA GROUP provides the opportunity for disadvantaged young people, those not in mandatory education, and children with Special Educational Needs to benefit from 1:1 and small collaborative group tasks, to increase their social, emotional, academic and team working abilities through study skills and confidence.
We aim to equip young people of pre-school, primary, secondary and post 16 years to achieve the necessary grades to go onto further education, higher education, or enter the preferred Independent / Local Education Authority School that the family/individual is aiming for.
We know that public benefit is being achieved when we are constructively working towards the intention of breaking the cycle of poverty and enabling them to contribute to society.
Most families and individuals accessing our services fall within the category of low income, having an entitlement to Free School Meals, funding for nursery education or in the case of adults, in receipt of a government benefit. We encourage and support using the LEA Fair Access Policy by assisting those referrals through the community and schools where the child has one or more of the following:
- Been identified with Pupil Premium Entitlement
- At risk of leaving secondary school without basic GCSE qualifications
- At risk of leaving primary school without attaining national standards
- From a high-risk category family background where parent(s) are currently going through a Court Matter or where a safeguarding concern is under investigation
- A pre-school aged child with learning and development delay, and likely to be accessing support through Community Paediatric Support Services
- A child in receipt of Disability Living Allowance (With both components in Mobility and Care needs at
Higher rate)
A young person in receipt of Personal Independence Payment (With both components in Mobility and Care needs at higher rate
We encourage believing each individual crisis can grow from an adverse experience, transforming their journey into an aspirational outcome through a ‘can-do’ approach.
The charity continues to deliver customised programs aiding vulnerable groups with neuro-divergency, risk of suicide and helping those from vulnerable backgrounds. By prioritising equity over equality the charity aims to extend education by supporting clients in healthcare crisis, to raising awareness of LGBTQ, Less Abled diversities, Black African Minority Ethnicities, Women as Leaders and marginalised mental health communities, whilst preventing isolation amongst Senior Citizens and Refugees.
