CHAIR'S REPORT Community Change Programme (CCP) Is a registered charity and a community-lncorporated organisation. Founded in 2012, registered as a charlty In July 2016 and based In Salford, CCP supports people affected by alcohol and substance addiction. The Increaslng cost of living has Impacted our service users and wider community members. The charivs income has been significantly lower In 2023 which has impacted the level of services that the charity has been able to offer. However, In partnership with Salford CVS, we have provided a community events including Easter fun day with free food and a community Christmas dinner. With limited funding, we reached out to communities in Salford and Manchester and provided much-needed services for people experlencing food poverty, domestic violence, drug and alcohol addiction, homelessness and other social issues. As we go forward, our focus is to secure further funding and commissions to enable us to further develop services and wellbeing programmes with service users at the core of all that we do. CCP continues to work towards becoming a seNice user-led Community Hub providing wrap-a-round health and wellbeing services and programmes for people whose lives have been negatively impacted by addiction. I thank our Trustees, partners, volunteers, and service users, who continue to support us through what has been a challenging year. Paul Lloyd Chair PaR¢ J of 8 Scanned with Camscanner
