**Summary of the main activities undertaken for the public benefit in relation to these objects (include within this section the statutory declaration that trustees have had regard to the guidance issued by the Charity Commission on public benefit)**
Somewhere Else was founded in 2015 because of the recognition that lonely and socially isolated individuals of all age groups are often susceptible to mental and physical health problems. The organisation exists to address the needs of lonely and socially excluded individuals in the Tees Valley area.
It seeks to do this by:
1. Providing a therapeutic and welcoming space
2. Organising structured activities designed to build self-esteem and encourage integration
3. Devising individualised support plans to achieve agreed goals
4. Developing a referral scheme with local authority and other support services.
The Trustees acknowledge the current Charity Commission guidance on ‘public benefit’ and are assured that the Somewhere Else’s objectives and activities are beneficial to the general public.

The charity also retained some high-quality volunteer counsellors, and recruited, trained and inducted some new volunteer counsellors, adding to our team.
These achievements were in spite of the disappointment of failing to obtain NHS funding for the professional service that we provide, which saves the NHS considerable costs. The application process was successful though without reasons provided, the funding did not materialise.
