|Summary
ofthe main
achievements
ofthe charity
during the year|||We have assisted 10veterans
who were designated
as homeless
into
supported
living accommodation
during
this reporting
year.
This has
been through
the continued
support
of outside agencies who support|our|
||||clients e.g. The Royal British Legion,
Night Stop and EDS Homes.||
||||Approximately
572 Veterans,
dependants
and families
have accessed||
||||our activities through
this reporting
period covering a wide range offace||
||||to face and "online" activities.||
||||238 referrals have been recorded
through
our services following
Needs||
||||Assessments
which has provided
guidance
and support/assistance
to||
||||veterans,
dependants
and families.||
||||The Military Veterans
Living History presentations
and interactive||
||||sessions
aimed at primary
Schools had been placed on hold for some|of|
||||this reporting
period due to the limited Covid restrictions
still being
in||
||||force in some Primary Schools.
However,
the volunteers
re-instigated||
||||"online" via Zoom and Teams presentations
delivering
a bespoke
and||
||||safe environment
for children to learn about WW2 and the Home Front.||
||||The veterans
planned
and delivered
the presentations
in accordance|with|
||||the correct key stages ofthe National
Curriculum
suitable to the age||
||||group presented
to. For this reporting
year we had 6veterans||
||||participating
in this project directly.
The presentations
were delivered|to|
||||over 360 children.||
||||Our Bicycle Recycle project working
in conjunction
with Cheshire
Police||
||||has been proven to be a necessity for the community
we support.
Not||
||||only have we supported
28 veterans
with free bicycles but, due to the||
||||success and supply of bicycles from the Police we have also managed|to|
||||supply
repaired
bicycles to our local community
who had been referred||
||||from local community
agencies for assistance.||
||||We have received continued
commissioning
from Greater Manchester||
||||Mental
Health for our wrap around
support —.(NHS Veterans
in Mind).||
||||We have received continued
commissioning
from Cheshire
West and||
||||Chester Council to provide support
to veterans
and dependants
within||
||||the CWaC area.||
||||We are now fully imbedded
within
our local community
since our move||
||||from the Town Centre to our own dedicated Veterans
Support Centre||
||||located within a park to facilitate the increase
in demand
of our services||
||||We have utilised
our minibus
throughout
this reporting
period to provide||
||||support
and assistance
to veterans
who engage
with us. Throughout|this|
||||reporting
year the minibus
has provided
the following assistance:||
||||Continued
