Summary of the purwses of
the charity as set out in rts
goveming document
The Link Charitable Trusts works with
children. young people and their
families to promote positive family lrfe
and relationships by providing
supportive activities for all.
The Link Charitable Trust works dosely with
The Link {Redcar) CIC which is a social
enterprise delivering therapeuknc
interventions to children and young people
who are suffeiing from efflotional wellbeing
and emerging mental health problems.
Summary ofthe main
activities in relation to those
purposes for the public
benefit. in particular. the
activities, projects or services
identified in the accounts.
Para 1.17 and
1.19
The Link Charltable Trust has been set up to
work with the wider family offering help wtth
a range of practical issues including support,
advice and guidance to improve the
emoknonal wellbeing of the whole fafflily unit.
During this reporting period we have had to
adapt our practice to deal wlh the pandemic
To do this we had to rrM)ve a lot ofour
delivery to on line and also furfough some of
our staff who were unabte to work in that
way.
We also identified a need to provide mental
health support lo adults and have changed
our objects in recognition of widening our
scope. We received a 6 month grant from
the National Lottery to help us set this up
and employed 2 adult mental health workers
to meet this need.

In 201912020 The Charity was successful in
securing funding from Sirius Minerals to
deliver an employabilty programme which
extended our service provision,. we found
thal the problems faced by wr Servi￿ users
are connected with disadvantsge,
unemployment, social exclusion, skills gaps,
and poverty. The project aimed to empower,
upskill and support local people into
educalion. training, and pathways to
employment including (x)mmunity
development activity to alleviate the effects
of Fovefty. This project was developed and
delivered within this reporting period,
however due to COVID-19 we were unable
to complete the project, with some funds
being re-aligned to support service delivery
during the pandemic. These funds were put
in place to increase our delivery of children's
groups.
Our Family Hub projecy continuéd to provide
serwces throughout Redcar and Cleveland
as well as developing outposts in and
partnerships in Brotton and, Marske and
Redcar Football Clubs. The project offers
SUPFM)rt and advice at regular community
drop-ins, where needs are assessed and
support can be put in pla￿. this may be one
to one outreach for the young person and
also family support sessions. The project will
also deliver trainingl workshop to parentsl
carers.
We have also continued to deliver our parent
support group (offering advice and guidance
to parenu carers) and also continued
consultstion with parenv carers and children
and young people, to ensure they have a
real voice in how 'their' service is run as we
believe that every person adds value to The
Link Charitable Trust.
We hdd weekly groups for children and
young people. such as Art Group,
Performing Arts. Cooking, Activity and
Partiupation, which have continued to
engage children and young people within the
local ￿)mmunty ensuring increased
attendance to these groups. Our Art Group
linked in wtth a local festival.

This year, we again linked in with World
Mental Heatth Day, which is a national
campaign,. This Campaign began in October
and ran through to Christmas, culminating in
hundreds of donations from the local
community to our Christmas Hamper project.
We linked in wth our local Care Leaving
Team and delivered 130 hampet5 to Care
Leavers across Redcar & Cleveland and
Middlesbrough and also to families
supported by The Link Charitable Trust and
The Link CIC.

charity's work has made to
Ihe circumstances of its
beneficiaries and any wider
benefits to society as a
whole.
Para 1.20
We have increased our provision particularfy
in harder to reach, more isolated villages
within the borough. This has allowed us to
work more holistically with families and has
also increased networking in those areas,
with us regularly linking in wÉth other local
organisations.
We rectuited a part tirne member of the team
to focus on our marketing which has
increased our soaal media presence by
regularly posting updates of our offer and
highlights of our weekly groups. We have
also linked in with other community groups
SUPFM)rting adult mental health which has
supported referrals into the service.
This year has been a difficult one due to
COVID and we have seen the impact of the
pandemic on mental health wilhin our local
ommuntties with increased referrals for
children. young people, families. and adults
needir¢g support.
There was an increased need of individuals
within our community, struggling financially
and in need of essential hampers. We
delivered hampers throughout the lockdown
and crealed a Christmas hamper campaign.
The Christmas Hamper campaign was a
huge success and received a lot of sUPPOrt
from the commLfnity of Redcar and
Cleveland.
