Section D Achievements and performance

Summary of the main achievements of the charity during the year

Over the past year we focused on investing in our staff and volunteers offering them opportunity to complete their diploma level 5 in integrative play and creative therapy.

We also focused on the accreditation of all our training through ‘Project Jabez’ equipping lives for good. We now have a diploma 5 and 6 accredited through the National Council of Integrative psychotherapy, 4 CPD courses for counsellors accredited and other CPD workshops for Churches, Parents and schools accredited through CPDT standards UK. We delivered some training in schools and also focused on offering workshops on anxiety and self-harm to parents.

St the end of last financial Year the Bracknell Town Major chose us as his charity, and has continued to support us for most of this financial year. Running several fundraising events including a walk, and a meal and music evening. This helped us to raise much needed funds for our bursary fund to support children and young people through therapeutic services.

Over the past year we have consistently been in some primary schools in Bracknell Forest, with schools continuing to buy our services in for the academic year. We have also seen new schools join our services and an increase in referrals direct from families who attend services at our centre in Bracknell Town. In all we reach just under 150 families through all our services.

We have continued to make lots of grant applications and although this has felt harder this year with more applications made for fewer reward. This has supported our income and helped us continue to grow.

Our staff team include a part time administrator, Part time finance manager, Part time development worker, Full time CEP, and three Play and creative therapists term time only (1 full time and 2 part time). We also have two volunteer therapists, 5 trustees and a volunteer web and IT support.

We will be recruiting new volunteers on our next training course in September 2023.
