achievements of the charity,
identifying the difference the
charity’s work has made to
the circumstances of its
beneficiaries and any wider
benefits to society as a
whole.|Over the course of the year, the charity has provided
service users with twice weekly face-to-face meetings for
recovering alcoholics and those who are looking to achieve
and maintain abstinence from alcohol.
The charity has a strong core of service users who have
long periods of abstinence from alcohol. These service
users offer advice and support to new service users who
are looking to achieve and maintain periods of abstinence
from alcohol. The regularly meetings involve check-ins and
discussions about alcohol and the challenges faces by
those who are addicted to alcohol. Service users with
longer periods of abstinence are role models for those
looking to achieve sobriety.
The charity has continued to distribute promotional
material to to engage with people who realise they have a
problem with alcohol and are looking to explore sobriety.
The charity has continued to work with established venues
to hold meetings. These venues are chosen to be easily
accessible to service users as they are on main bus routes
and provide ample parking.
As a result of these activities, new service users have
engaged with the charity’s support groups. These new
members have benefited from the advice and support of
long-term members who have been sober for a number of
years. Some of these new members have managed to
stop drinking for a prolonged period of time, reducing
pressure on other services.| |---|---| ## **Financial Review** |**Financial Review**|| |---|---| |Review of the charity’s
