CHAIR’S REPORT
Community Change Programme (CCP) is a registered charity and a community-incorporated organisation. Founded in 2012, registered as a charity in July 2016 and based in Salford, CCP supports people affected by alcohol and substance addiction.
The increasing cost of living has impacted our service users and wider community members. There has been no charity income in 2024 due to no funding coming in. The charity’s income has been significantly lower in 2023 which has impacted the level of services that the charity has been able to offer.
We have provided community events such as Easter Funday and a Community Christmas Day dinner.
We reached out to communities in Salford and Manchester and provided much-needed services for people experiencing food poverty, domestic violence, drug and alcohol addiction, homelessness and other social issues.
We have secured further funding of £14,500, which will enable us to develop services and wellbeing programmes. Our focus is to secure further funding and commissions to enable us to further develop services and wellbeing programmes with service users.
CCP continues to work towards becoming a service 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.

Our Mission
The mission of Community Change Programme (CCP) is to inspire vulnerable people to make positive life changes. We work within the local community to relieve the effects of poverty on families and help socially excluded people, e.g. substance abusers to reintegrate into society and improve their employability education, training, and work experience.
Our Vision
CCP continues to aspire to be a Community Hub, providing support, information and health and wellbeing activities and programmes that meet the individual needs of its service users. We seek to work alongside and support men and women experiencing addiction issues or coming from a background of prostitution or crime to re-integrate back into their communities through empowering people to take control of their own positive growth and change.

-

The trustees review the aims, objectives and activities of the charity each year. This report looks at what the charity has achieved and the outcomes of its work in the reporting period. The trustees report the success of each key activity and the benefits the charity has brought to those groups of people that it is set up to help. The review also helps the trustees ensure the charity's aims, objectives and activities remained focused on its stated purposes.
The trustees have referred to the guidance contained in the Charity Commission's general guidance on public benefit when reviewing the charity's aims and objectives and in planning its future activities. In particular, the trustees consider how planned activities will contribute to the aims and objectives that have been set.
MAIN ACTIVITIES
CCP provides support to vulnerable people who have come from drug and alcohol rehabilitation to help them to continue to be substance free and enable reintegration and reconnection to their families, communities, and society as a whole.
During this reporting period, despite many obstacles we managed to navigate our way through the challenges that 2024 brought and continued to impact many people from broken and deprived backgrounds.
We:
-
with the help of our great team of volunteers fed 100 families over Easter
-
supported many families over the Christmas period, delivering 80 meals to families
