Chair's Report for the Year Ended 31 March 2024
Throughout this year Harmony has continued to deliver a comprehensive programme of
drop-in activities. we have completed another successful year of our contract with the
NHS to provide crisis support and suicide prevention through the Community Front Room
service and the team staged a great partnership event, "And Breathe" in October to
celebrate what we do, and to raise awareness and redu￿ stigma around mental health.

The outcomes reported by those who use our services include:
Improved self-esteem and confidence
Reduced isolation
Reduced anxiety
Mental health & wellbeing improved
Improved self-care
This has been enabled by the generous support of a wide range of funders - local and
national, large and small, and we would like to take this opportunity to thank them all.
However the most significant developments have been those enabled by the support of
the National Lottery Communities Fund, whose funds have started to make a real
difference to how we work this year. Previously, every aspect of the charity's work was
managed by one full time employee, Trustees were providing operational support on a
voluntary basis, and the systems underpinning our excellent front line services had not
kept pace with the growth in the activity we were delivering. or the levels of funding
needed to support those. So, with the support of the National Lottery and our other very
generous funders. 2023124 has been a year of change.
In the Autumn we completed a staff restructure. Our long term service manager was
promoted to CEO - a part time role in which she can focus on our strategic development,
innovation and partnership building and we created two new posts (Operational Manager

The Hamiony Centre
Chairfs Report for the Year Ended 31 March 2024
and Administrator) to oversee all aspects of the day to day operational management of
the organisation.
This additional capacity enabled us to plan a move to larger more accessible premises
on the nearby St Michael's Trading Estate. I look fonNard to reporting next year on our
successful relocation and the impact this has had on our staff and the outcomes they can
deliver for our beneficiaries.
The National Lottery grant also enabled us to computerise our financial management
systems in readiness for the 24125 financial year- this will improve the efficiency of our
day to day administration and will improve the data underpinning our ongoing fundraising.
Another new development which we have been busy laying the foundations for this year.
and which I look forward to reporting on next year. is the implementation of a
comprehensive data management system. This will provide us with much needed
ntelligence from which we can drive fOr￿ard service improvements, new service
developments and our fundraising.
This year has also seen some changes in our Trustee team. I was delighted to take on
the position of Chair at our AGM in November 2023, and we are very grateful to Anne
Bark for joining us as our new Secretary, and to Ragn Banton for bringing her wealth of
public sector service management expertise to our team. It was with sadness, and sincere
thanks, that we said goodbye to Jane Brennan and Tegwyn Jones, and we wish them
both well.
As ever, we could do nothing without the dedication and skill of our staff. volunteers and
the support of our wider cA)mmunity, and I would like to thank them for their unwavering
support throughout the year.
