We had one female homeless and worked tirelessly to get a roof over her head, this female did try to jump off Nottingham Trent Bride. Being the first responders we were able to liase with The Nottingham Law Centre, Nottinghamshire Police, Triage Team, Housing Aid, and mental health services all working together for a victims and survivors positive outcomes._ PAGE 5 - _Female one-to-one’s, we held_ _**43** sessions and_ _**97** male session._ - _Digital facetime support included either Skype or Zoom with 24 female and 15 men supported online.

We would like to say a massive thank you to Kevin (Centre Manager) & Alison (Admin) who have been extremely supportive to us, and also to Jill Chair of the ‘Sherwood Community Centre, she has been very supportive, it is a warm community center and one where we are all supportive of one another to ensure all who access our Centre are within a safe and non-judgmental environment, obviously throughout the lockdown_ PAGE 7 _our center was closed, with all working from home._ _We closed our offices March 13[th] , 2020, because of lockdown, it was a very hectic time for us all, daunting not knowing how this would impact us not only as a Charity but individually. Unfortunately, I lost a very close family member, a friend who I grew up with and one of my colleagues who I became close to from the National Catholic Safeguarding Commission who appointed me. This loss and devastation has been just horrendous and so for many others. Thank goodness we did not lose one of our service users, all were safely supported throughout. We were able to change our practices of support and adult educational programs via Zoom digital facetime and more so via telephone support. We were able to access much online training courses, this has saved travel time and has been cost effective. Ensuring all our volunteers were supported with everything required to support them whilst working from home, and also their mental health and wellbeing was also vital and we were able to support one another again through zoom and telephone, so no-one felt alone, especially those of us living alone._ _I nominated two volunteers throughout the pandemic for their outstanding work, one received gift vouchers from TKMaxx Hero’s, and our other volunteer was hand delivered a case of wines from Naked Wines._ _Luckily, we were still able to partner with Nottingham Trent University throughout the pandemic, with our in-house data identified at the point of assessment, but we also involve our service users if they would like to input in an area that they feel needs addressing and researching. We have been collaborating together now for four years. NTU students were this time able to showcase their conference research findings via zoom._ _There is now a new pilot project called ‘_ _**Safe Spaces’** , bringing both Church of England and Roman Catholic Churches together. Both Churches are now commissioning a national telephone helpline for victims and survivors. Maxi was able to be a part of the designing, commission procurement process, and selecting organizations for the pilot project, with many spent developing this project throughout. Victim Support is an independent charity and was chosen mid 2020 is independently run, and a free service for anyone abused in the Church._ _Maxi is still sitting on the Survivors Advisory Panel for the Roman Catholic Church and working with the National Survivors Reference group, although they are not as yet an affiliated board, this has been delayed because of the Covid-19 pandemic, but we have been active with speaking with Bishops of Canterbury and York regarding our concerns as survivors._ _Maxi was asked to be one of the judges for Marsh Christian Trust & Mind Peer Fest 2020 awards and this is because Support for Survivors won an award 2019 for the Charities ‘Innovation & Mental Health Peer Support’ This was also a lengthy process with many fantastic peer support groups supporting all over the Country our vulnerable communities. This event_ PAGE 8 _was held via digital media in December with awards going to some amazing peer support groups._ _We are so honored and humbled being able to support, ‘Support for Survivors’ victims & survivors, who were boys and girls sexually, physically, emotionally, abused in childhood._ _We would like to thank all our partners who we refer to, and who refer to ‘Support for Survivors’. There are some remarkable people in our communities working over and beyond Thank You._ _Most of all thank you to all our Trustees who have supported us throughout as we grow and further develop. Most of all and not forgetting our remarkable male and female survivors of childhood abuse, and their families._ _You are surviving and thriving!_ _Maxi ‘Leigh Jez Taylor Founder Care Services Director Chair_ PAGE 9 PAGE 10 PAGE 11 PAGE 12 PAGE 13 PAGE 14 12/20 ## **Financial Year Ending 31/12/2019 to 31/12/2020 Support for Survivors Charity** ## Starting date Cash balance alert minimum **----- Start of picture text -----**
