## **REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES**
## **31ST DECEMBER 2020**
## **Principal Objectives**
To support the residents of Doncaster and its environs by:-
- 1) Advancement of health including the prevention and relief of sickness, disease and the suffering both mental and physical, due to the use of illegal and legal substances.
- 2) Prevention and relief of poverty experienced by families and communities affected by someone else’s illegal and legal substances.
## **Structure Governance & Management**
## **Governing document**
The charity is controlled by its governing document, a deed of trust, and constitutes a limited company, limited by guarantee, as defined by the Companies Act 2006.
## **Achievements & Performance**
This year Support 4 Change experienced, along with the rest of the world, a year like no other. One minute we were chatting in a group about the news from China and Italy about a virus and the next minute we were putting our emergency planning processes into place and working from home !
The team and the Board members all pulled together to ensure that we were able to continue to provide a local support platform for those struggling with another’s’ Substance misuse in Doncaster. Without their hard work and dedication, we would have struggled to function in the unprecedented situation that we were in with everyone else. In our time of adversity, the team came together with creativity and innovation to drive us forward to develop new ways of engagement and involvement to ensure that those in need of support were supported and helped.
We have been able to reach 130 new members in the last 12 months and on target for the envisaged 225 for the current funding period. We have operated 39 online and 13 face to face group meetings also during the period, and delivered a total of 156 crisis one-to-one sessions.
“Support 4 Change” continues to work in partnership with other organisations through the proper and timely use of the agreed multi-agency Safeguarding adults/children procedures, and includes The Local Safeguarding Children Board (LSCB) to refer and conduct enquiries of known or suspected cases. We also signpost and liaise with other organisations to help support with debt management, housing and education, etc.
Support 4 Change (S4C) has continued to provide the residents of Doncaster and its environs with the objectives of the charity and will continue to do so in the coming year.
We provide a weekly S4C Group Meeting for all members on a Monday evening (18.15-20.15) and also on a Saturday at Thorne (10.45-12.45). These groups have safely been operating on video conferencing during COVID restrictions and one-one’s via phone. We have increased the number of Therapists we engage.
These sessions provide an interactive, safe and confidential meeting place for all persons affected by illegal and legal substances. It also enables social interaction and friendships leading to a supportive network which benefits each person undergoing difficult and stressful times in their lives. It enables a person/s to have a positive approach to manage their situation to ensure they are able to live the best life they can whilst supporting their loved ones to bring about positive changes in their own lives.
S4C also provide structure 1-1 crisis intervention sessions for person’s finding it difficult to copy with their situation. These can vary from an individual session to continual sessions until the person/s feel able to cope once more.
At S4C we provide sessions of Complimentary therapies. These sessions allow a person/s the opportunity for relation and time for themselves which in turn enable them to reduce stress and increase their coping. These will be able to operate again once COVID restrictions have been lifted.

## **REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES (CONTINUED)**
## **31ST DECEMBER 2020**
We encourage all members at S4C to enjoy planned social activities and outings which are decided on by the S4C membership. Again due to COVID restrictions we have had to temporarily place these on hold.
S4C continues with its aim to provide services, advocacy, advice, information and to act as a resource body for all person/s affected by their loved ones illegal/legal substance misuse.
Due to COVID restrictions early in 2020, the activities provided to members have been adapted. We set up a peer support group chat forum where members could seek 24/7 support online. S4C continued to offer group and one-to-one crisis support to new and established members throughout the COVID period.
A peer (socially distanced) walking group was set up and in operation to promote connectiveness and alleviate loneliness and isolation during the COVID period.
We will continue to be able to deliver a range of Complementary Therapies to members once again once the COVID period has been relaxed, which includes: Reikim, Reflexology, Indian head massage and Aromatherapy massage. The wellbeing of members is paramount to S4C and we will aim to continue to be able to deliver these sessions periodically through the year as much as funding allows.
S4C continues to attend the monthly “Carers Forum” and since the meeting with the Director of Public Health (Rupert Suckling) “Support 4 Change” has been invited to attend the “Substance Misuse Theme Group (SMTG); a quarterly meeting whose remit remains focused on dependent drinkers and the prevalence of traditional opiate based drugs.
“Support 4 Change” benefit from the support and representation of its two patrons – Dr. Rajesh Alex, a Consultant at Bassetlaw Hospital and Mr Majid Khan – a councillor for the Bessacarr Constituency.
## **Financial Review**
The charity benefited from two grants in the year (totalling £26,397) which made a significant difference to the charity’s operations in 2020. Total income received was £27,558 and expenditure incurred was £15,921, leading to a net surplus of £11,637 for the year which was added to reserves to be used in the next financial year.
## **Reserves**
Total reserves amounted to £18,355 as at 31[st] December 2020. Of this £13,825 represented Restricted Funds, and so the free reserves (Unrestricted) as at 31[st] December 2020 were £4,510. This represents just over 3 months’ expenditure and is below the intended level of reserves of 6 months’ expenditure that the Trustees consider prudent.
## **Risk Management**
The trustees have a duty to identity and review the risks to which the charity is exposed and to ensure appropriate controls are in place to provide reasonable assurance against fraud and error.
The Trustees have put in place systems to mitigate the exposure to the major risks identified.
