_31[st] /12/2020 – 31/12/2021_ Yearly Annual Report Support for Survivors is a Charity – a CIO (registered Charitable Incorporated Organisation number 1165986). pg. 1 _We believe it’s important to talk, and listen why? Lack of early interventions can or will leave devastating impacts, Emotionally, Physically, Mentally, and Socially on the lives of Victims and Survivors, their families, and Their way forward within our Communities and society as a whole!_ Report Prepared by Maxi ‘Leigh Founder Care Services Director & Jez Taylor Chairman Charity Status Granted by Charity Commission 10/03/2016 Registered Charity 1165986 CIO Self Help Group set up 25/05/2014 Support for Survivors Charity Board of Trustees Effective from 31[st] December 2020 to 31[st] December 31sts 2021 - Jeremy Taylor Chairman Secretary Founder Managing Director & acting - Chris Gibbon - Maxi ‘Leigh Treasurer - Joseph Anthony Curtis Joseph Anthony Curtis Trustee  Sara Orme Trustee  Zena Sanigar Trustee  Dannielle Harris Trustee  Debbie Heath Trustee PAGE 2 _We provide support to male and female Victims & Survivors aged 18 plus, suffering from a multitude of several types of childhood abuse & experiences.

Delivery of continual Survivor Personal Development & Recovery, Survivor management programmes, and Parenting, studying the impacts on the effects childhood abuse and trauma, and how this impacts on the victims & survivor’s adult life, relationships, family & parenting. We have been able to identify all, lack self- confidence, self -esteem, self-worth, awareness, and assertiveness, through trust and continuity we help to focus on compassion and empathy with positive encouragement and goals as they slowly recover from their traumatic experiences, mental, physical health & wellbeing. We have identified some can go on to enjoy happy and independent lives, although not everyone recovers, especially those victims & survivors who fit into our elderly generation or have suffered many years behind closed doors without interventions. We have been particularly successful with how we support our beneficiaries with learning disabilities, who are very scared and fearful, are befriended, not being judged has a positive influence, now live engaging lives._ _Everyone is at a different stage and journey with their healing and recovery process._ ## **What do we Deliver ?** **We** actively reduce the distress of victims & survivors aged 18 plus of childhood non-recent abuse through a range of ‘Peer’ led interventions. - Support groups - 1-2-1 support - Family mediation - Focus groups - Female drop-in - Male drop-in - Mixed group drop-in - Creative Arts & Crafts Quarter - Advocacy support - Outreach & Intervention - Chaperone & support with Police intervention. - Legal referrals - Magistrates, Civil & Crown court advocacy support - Child Protection support & intervention - Advocacy support with housing, benefits, welfare advice - Homeless advocacy support PAGE 3 - Referral support to drug, alcohol, and self-harming programmes - 14-week Survivor ‘Personal Development Recovery Programme’ - Survivor ‘Management’ Programme - 12-week Strengthening Families Strengthening Communities inc. parent - programme - Wellbeing & Wellness programmes - Financial support - Housing support - S4S ‘Peer Support Volunteer & Befriending’ training programme - Coaching and Mentoring - Adult learning educational programmes _Since opening our doors in 2014 to the end of 31[st] December 2021 Registered on our books are_ _**368 male & female** victims & survivors, up_ _**15 men and**_ _**30 women** (_ _**45 referrals in total** for the year ending).

_Sincere thanks to all of you who have helped to continue the vital help and support required for ‘Support for Survivors Charity ’ in helping our male and female survivors of non-recent abuse._ _We are delivering services from the_ _**Sherwood Community Centre, ‘Woodthorpe House’ Mansfield Road, Sherwood, Nottingham, NG5 3FN,** and what a wonderful experience it still is, being community orientated. We would like to say a massive thank you Alison (Admin) Unfortunately Kevin our Centre Manager died from Cancer, R.I.P The center still is very supportive as a whole, Thank you 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 our center was closed, with all working from home._ _We closed our offices March 13[th] , 2020, not returning until mid-21. Sadly, two male survivors died, one from Cancer and the other died from heart failure._ _Otherwise, everyone was safely supported throughout. Still continuing with telephone and zoom support whilst in lockdown. We were able to access many online training courses, this has saved travel time and is cost effective. Whilst ensuring all our volunteers were supported with their personal needs, their mental health and wellbeing whilst working from home. As peers we supported one another again through zoom and telephone, so no-one felt alone, especially those of us living alone._ _Luckily, we were still able to partner with Nottingham Trent University throughout the pandemic. Through in-house data we are able to identify impacts at point of assessment. We also involve our service users to collaborate if they would like to input in an area that they feel needs addressing and researching. We have been collaborating together now for five years. NTU students were able to showcase their conference research findings via zoom._ _Maxi stepped down from the the Survivors Advisory Panel for the Roman Catholic Church with most of the team, to create their own training brand for the Catholic Church, and still with the National Survivors Reference group Church of England. On her Birthday in January, she received a phone call from the Chair of ‘The National Safeguarding’ CofE, inviting her to be a part of the team and I gladly accepted._ PAGE 7 _November 2021 Maxi held our first Charity fashion show in her village where she lives. We had approximately 120 women who came with their own food and canapés, and what a remarkable success the night was indeed. Raising £2185.64 it was a fantastic evening and event, thank you to our ladies from the Charity and Maxi’s neighbors who wanted to be involved from the village with £500.00 donated to Breast Cancer._ _We are so honored and humbled to be able to support ‘Support for Survivors’ victims & survivors, who were once 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/ Managing Director Chair_ PAGE 8 PAGE 9 PAGE 10 PAGE 11 PAGE 12 PAGE 13 PAGE 14 Starting date 12/20 ## **Financial Year Ending 31/12/2021 Support for Survivors Charity** Cash balance alert minimum **----- Start of picture text -----**
