DN4 5FB **Page 2** ## **SUPPORT 4 CHANGE** ## **REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES** ## **31ST DECEMBER 2021** ## **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. The effects of drug and alcohol use in the family goes beyond affecting the person using them. Living with a loved one who uses drugs or alcohol has a huge impact on the whole family. ## **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** ## **Experts by experience- feedback from supported families:** ‘I have had three one to one sessions and each time you have been great. I now come to the Monday evening group too for ongoing support. I now feel I am where I need to be.’ – Family Member ‘We are 100% stronger than before and really appreciate all that you have done to help us. We have our tools in place now…it was help that we didn’t know we needed.’ – Family Member Our Organisations’ name – **‘Support for Change’** is a very bold claim for any organisation to make. But it is an echo of what families tell us about the difference we are making every day. And this is what motivates every one of us to keep on carrying on, through what has now been an incredibly hard two years of pandemic. The harms families faced before COVID, through COVID and whatever point we are now at (living with COVID seems to be the phrase of the moment) are still very much there. Doncaster is a city which is continuing to struggle with its relationship with alcohol and drugs, but where it is still not easy to speak out about the impact of experiences. Families told us loud and clear about what good family support looks and feels like for them. Good family support is not something fluffy or marginal, but evidence-based, proactive and transformational. Working with families to learn new ways to communicate and interact, be confident in setting boundaries, prioritise self-care, and understand more about substance use and recovery really does change lives and save lives. Since 2019, we have sobbed our way through many farewells- 7 loved ones of the families that we support have lost their battle with substance use. The news of each and every one remains very sad and is no doubt only a small percentage within the overall general population in Doncaster. ‘I felt powerless, I felt like I was drowning and suffocating in the hole of addiction. Support 4 Change has shown me how to gain control and power over my own life and most importantly they have given me the strength and courage to carry on. I would not be where I am today without their support.’ – Family Member ‘I like that you can come along to what you like but you are never forced into anything. You make really good friends and meet people you can speak to, everyone is in a similar position. I no longer feel alone.’ ## **Progress within the last 12 months:** - We have worked with and supported an additional 44 families affected by Substance use. - We organised monthly support and advocacy group sessions in Doncaster for those supporting a loved one with Substance issues. **Continued** **Page 3** ## **SUPPORT 4 CHANGE** ## **REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES (CONTINUED)** ## **31ST DECEMBER 2021** - We provided support and activities for families in Doncaster, with children of alcohol/substance dependents. - We are working with Project 3, in Doncaster, to integrate family support across their treatment service. - We provided updated, evidence led advice for families. - We directed families to local support through our support directory. - We empowered those affected by Substance misuse and delivered motivational training to support them in their communities. We have been able to reach 44 families within the last 12 months and reached our target for the funding period. We have operated 44 face to face group meetings also during the period and delivered a total of 87 crisis one-to-one sessions also. ‘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 as identified above and will continue to do so in the coming year 2023/24. We provided a weekly S4C Group Meeting for all members on Monday evening (18.15-20.15) We are proud to announce that one of our aims from last year was to secure new premises in the Doncaster town center and we are happy to say we have now achieved this. We have listened to our members and now operate from a building that has no links with drug or alcohol services. These group 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 structured 1-1 crisis intervention sessions for person/s finding it difficult to cope 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 provided sessions of Complimentary therapies. These sessions allow a person/s the opportunity for relaxation and time for themselves which in turn enable them to reduce stress and increase their coping. We also brought in a nail technician this year, for additional pampering. We encourage all members at S4C to enjoy planned social activities and outings which are decided on by the S4C membership. A trip to York via train and Harlow Carr and Knaresborough and a meal out at the Whitby’s fish and chip diner were the days out enjoyed this year. S4C members continue to organise therapeutic walking groups together, to talk and walk together. Being able to enjoy a relaxed family meal, ignoring your phone for a while, giving yourself permission to go for a walk or meet a friend for a coffee, or joining a class or a group for the first time are all huge steps for family members. Their everyday lives have been wholly shaped and controlled by their loved one’s alcohol or drug use, often over many years. 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. Support 4 Change is now running into its twelfth year, our team have said ‘things have been going well, it has really brought into focus just how much this service is needed.’ Families are offered one to one support when they need it, linked with drug and alcohol awareness training where required and have the option of group support where they get a lot out of peer connection and support. Support 4 Change stands out because of its tailored and intense level of support that’s available with no time limit placed on how long someone can access the support. The true difference the service makes to families is that they feel less isolated and realise that their wellbeing is important too. Family members can begin to put themselves first and often for the first time realise they do not need to cope with this on their own any longer. **Continued** **Page 4** ## **SUPPORT 4 CHANGE** ## **REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES (CONTINUED)** ## **31ST DECEMBER 2021** ## **Achievements and Performance:** We continued with the peer support 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. A peer (socially distanced) walking group continued to promote connectiveness and alleviate loneliness and isolation. We will continue to be able to deliver a range of Complementary Therapies and beauty therapies to members which includes; Reiki, Reflexology, Indian head massage, Aromatherapy massage and nails. 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. S4C has formed part of the Alcohol Alliance and continues to have close links with Doncaster Carers, Leger Homes, DMBC and Aspire drug and alcohol services. S4C continues to be involved with 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’ continues to 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. ## **Future plans** We hope to continue to develop and grow S4C as an organisation that is well equipped in supporting those who support others. ## **1 A safe haven** A S4C Hub To be able to secure premises offering a safe space for drop in support, group meetings, face to face 1:1’s, group work, training, recreational activities and therapeutic treatments. We would like to offer other organisations to join us in participating in workshops and training sessions. ## **2 Respite and relaxation** 24hr Support Phone Line To be able to support those in need outside of usual group times and offer support and understanding. ## **3 Support, information and advice** A bi-monthly Newsletter. To be able to share news, coping strategies, events, future plans and other informative information to S4C members. ## **Financial Review** The charity benefited from the next tranche of People’s Health grant in the year (£10,500) and two further grants (totalling £2,750) which made a major difference to the charity’s operations. Total income received was £13,780 and expenditure incurred was £19,451, leading to a deficit of £5,671 (2020: Surplus £11,637) as grant income received in the previous financial period was expended. ## **Reserves** Total reserves amounted to £12,664 as at 31[st] December 2021. Of this £10,226 represented Restricted Funds, and so the free reserves (Unrestricted) as at 31[st] December 2021 were £2,438. This represents less than 2 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.
