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**_ ## **Introduction** **It is with great pleasure that we present the annual report for Support 4 Change, an organisation committed to making a positive impact on the lives of families affected by drugs and alcohol. This report highlights our achievements, challenges, and financial performance during the past year.** ## **Mission and Impact** **Our mission is to provide support, education, and resources to families facing the challenges of drug and alcohol addiction. In 2022, we continued our efforts to bring hope and healing to these families, working towards a society where they can thrive and recover. Families told us loud and** ## **Page 3** **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.** **Support 4 Change will soon be running into its thirteenth 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.** ## **Experts by experience- feedback from supported families:** _“I just wanted to take time to give Support Change some feedback after using your services this year. I first contacted Support 4 Change at the beginning of December when a member of my family was struggling with drugs, and I felt lost on how to cope with this. I contacted Sandra after being referred to Support 4 Change from Aspire. Immediately I was contacted, and my journey began which I was so grateful for. I was offered one to one support and to be able to go the group sessions on a Monday evening. I cannot stress how both have literally saved me from spiraling out of control myself. Addiction is something we hear about but do not think our families will be affected and when it is we struggle to help that person but to also be kind and keep ourselves strong in the process. Support 4 Change allowed me to continue to be there for that person who had the addiction but also made me realise they had to take responsibility for themselves as well. The sessions gave me coping mechanisms to ensure I was able to be supportive but be able to take a step back and be kind to myself and protect my own mental health. Thank you so much for supporting me on my journey I know without this support I would not have been able to come as far as I have.” (Support 4 Change Member 2022)_ ## **Key Achievements** **1. Family Support Groups: We conducted Support Groups, providing essential guidance and support to 66 families.** **2. Counselling Services: Our dedicated team of counselors have delivered 120 crisis one-toone sessions helping individuals struggling with the economic and emotional hardship that substance misuse has left them with.** **We also signpost and liaise with other organsations to help support with debt management, housing, and education etc.** ## **Page 4** **3. Awareness Campaigns: We reached many new members also through our awareness campaigns and educational programs, reducing stigma and increasing understanding.** **4. Community Partnerships: We forged new partnerships with 4 local organisations to expand our reach and services.** **5. We have offered 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 via a trained therapist periodically through the year.** **6. We have continued to offer a peer led walking group to promote connectiveness and alleviate loneliness and isolation.** **7. We feel it is important for those affected to enjoy social time to promote relaxation and stress management. This year the outings were again all organised by the members themselves, and included Whitby’s for a Christmas gathering, a trip to York, Harlow Carr and a lunch in Harrogate.** ## **Challenges Faced** ## **While we made significant progress, we also encountered some challenges:** **1. Resource Limitations: Funding constraints impacted our ability to provide services to everyone in need.** **2. Mental Health Issues: The complex mental health issues related to addiction have been a growing concern.** **3. COVID-19 Impact: The pandemic presented unique challenges, with increased isolation and anxiety among families and the impact of this is still long standing.** ## **COVID-19 Impact: The pandemic** ## **Financial Overview** **2022 was another year of financial stability for Support 4 Change.** **From a continuous funding for S4C we have been successful in gaining funding throughout the year from various organisations, businesses and individuals. Please see below to identify these areas of funding.** **Page 5** **The People Heath Trust National Lottery Funding Covid-19 Funding Donations from local businesses Weekly Membership donations** **Individual community donations Raffles** **Thank You** **We extend our heartfelt gratitude to our donors, volunteers, staff, and partners. Your unwavering support has enabled us to make a real difference in the lives of those affected by addiction.** **Looking Ahead** **In 2023/2024, we aim to:** **1. Increase our outreach efforts to serve more families.** **2. Strengthen our mental health support Counselling services.** **3. Continue building strategic partnerships to expand our impact.** **4. Working holistically with the whole family to motivate the Substance Users to enter treatment (for those who are not yet accessing treatment services for their drug and alcohol use) using the CRAFT (Community reinforcement and Family Training) model.** **With your continued support, we are confident that we can achieve these goals and make a meaningful impact.** **We continue to search for funding streams to evolve S4C to meet the needs of its ever-growing members to support them to live their own life to its fullest.** **Thank you** **Without the support of our Board members, staff, volunteers, local people, and partners then we would not have been able to continue to operate and support those struggling with supporting a loved one affected by Substance Misuse.** **More than ever there is a need to be kind to one another, to work in partnership and to be creative and innovative in the work that we do. We can build on what we have all learned over the last 12 months and we will continue to listen to the voices and experiences of those we have supported** ## **Page 6** **and continue to support as we restart and re-engage in all the exciting activities that make us active, thriving and committed.** ## **Reserves** **Total reserves amounted to £3,315. Of this £3,0045 represented Restricted Funds, and so the free reserves (Unrestricted) as at 31[st] December 2022 were £311. This represents less than 1 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 identify the risks to which the charity is exposed and to ensure appropriate controls are in place to provide reasonable assurance against fraud and error.** ## **On behalf of the Trustees** **Kim Smithson** **Chair of Trustees (Support 4 Change)** **Support4Change** **Kemp House** **152-160 City Road, London.
