Foreword from the Chair

Over the past 12 months, the charity has continued to provide excellent support to children, young people and their parents/carers. Despite periods of uncertainty due to the pandemic and periods of remote learning and support, the team have worked flexibly to ensure the charity � s activities remained purposeful and impactful.

Downright Special is a success due to the excellent leadership of the Charity Manager, Gillian Bowlas and the wonderful team of teachers, support staff who between them have a wealth of expertise and experience across the key phases of a ������������������������� education and development. The training and development our team provide for practitioners across Hull and the East Riding continues to be an �������������������������������������������������������������������������������� increase.

We recognise that understanding the health needs of children and young people with Down syndrome is integral to providing a successful education so we were delighted to introduce a Health Lead role this year.

In 2020/21 we continued to focus on:

As we look to the future our plans continue to be centred on expanding our range of services in line with the increasing age range of the children we support so we can continue to support their evolving needs and help them reach their potential. You can read more about our future plans on page 22.

These plans and the developments we have been able to achieve to-date would not be possible without the fundraising and grants we receive. These are critical to the success of the charity - thank you to all the individuals and organisations who have supported us this year. We really could not do it without you!

Finally, thank you so much to everyone in the Downright Special Family who make everything possible - children, parents, grandparents, staff, volunteers, supporters and professionals from other agencies - all of whom have a common endeavour to build a brighter future for children with Down syndrome.

� I hope, in reading this report, you take great delight and inspiration from it we at Downright Special most certainly do!

Background

The Downright Special Network was established in June 2007 to:

The work undertaken by staff, as a result of the fundraising and donations received, allows us to focus on our enduring priorities of:

Safeguarding Statement

Downright Special is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children, young people and adults with a care and support need, engaged in the breadth of its activities. Downright Special believes that everyone has the right to be safe from harm and should be able to live free from fear of abuse, neglect and exploitation.

Downright Special takes its responsibilities for safeguarding children extremely seriously and we believe ��������������������������������������������������������������������� g guidelines. All Downright Special posts are subject to enhanced DBS disclosure. All our staff and volunteers who have contact with families must attend Level 1 Safeguarding training as a minimum with several of our staff receiving further training including safer recruiting, vulnerable babies and Makaton safeguarding workshop.

Our Staff

We started this year with six part-time members of staff to ensure the smooth running of the charity and deliver our Friday education sessions, outreach work in schools and training courses for parents and professionals. In the second half of the year, we also recruited two new sessional workers to lead our baby and toddler groups on a Friday following the resignation of two of our volunteers.

Review of our Activities of the Year

Education

OUR PRIORITY WAS TO RESPOND TO THE IMPACT OF COVID AND ENSURE A SAFE REOPENING OF FRIDAY SESSIONS

Downright Special Early Development Groups

Our Downright Special early development groups run on a Friday during term time and continue to be a great success for children from birth to approximately five years old. We currently have around 16 children who regularly attend Friday mornings and, this year, we delivered 37 sessions. Before the pandemic these sessions were face-to-face for 3 hours. These sessions are a chance for parents to get together, have a coffee, share experiences and provide mutual support. The children get the chance to play and make friends. Most importantly the sessions also incorporate �������������� when the children are put in small groups to work on their speech, language and communication skills, numeracy and literacy in a

way that is tailored to the specific learning profile of children with Down syndrome. We provide lots of bespoke visual resourc ������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������� Makaton sign language throughout the morning, helping parents and children learn the signs they need to communicate with each other and help with learning new words. We have established a tried and tested curriculum of activities which is reviewed annually to ensure the latest teaching methods are used. The curriculum also helps us to track progress and record milestones for each child.

Our baby group continues to be incorporated into Friday mornings, with our youngest children enjoying a range of sensory activities and learning some of the early skills, such as taking turns and making early speech sounds in a relaxed and fun environment. It is also a chance for parents to see a demonstration of some the activities they can do ������������������������������������������������������������� ������������������������������������������������������������������������� communication skills.

Also, an aspect which is crucially important, Downright Special Fridays offer parents and carers the opportunity to chat over coffee, share their experiences and offer peer-to-peer support whilst the children play in a safe environment. However good a statutory agency may be, there are some things that only another parent will

understand and be able to offer the mutual support which is so often needed. The Friday group is striking visual ������������������������������������������� who will have a child with Down syndrome and we have a diversity of ����������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������� , as we have several fathers attending regularly.

Page 7 of 22

We have continued to alter our approach for children with specific social communication needs by delivering blocks ����������������������������������������������������������������������� These sessions have been very successful with the children making significant progress in this time.

Downright Special Fridays During the Pandemic

We are very proud that we have managed to continue to deliver our Fridays throughout the pandemic by very quickly switching to using zoom to continue lessons online and setting up our teachers with home printers so they could continue to make and send out resources throughout. For those children who were unable to cope with zoom sessions, we provided resources to parents to use themselves and had regular telephone calls with them to check progress and give advice where needed. When we were able to

welcome our youngest children back to our Friday groups for face-to-face learning, we did so with safety at the heart of everything we did. We invested to keep our space clean and safe, carried out detailed risk assessments, put staggered start times in place, and bought duplicate resources to avoid sharing.

We were really pleased to have everyone back face-to-face after Easter 2021 in small groups for lessons only and from the start of September 2021 we were able to go back to our full Friday programme of events, including singing and signing, snack time, dance and of course lesson time.

Families have fed back to us how much they value these sessions, how important they are for families to meet each other to provide mutual support and �������������������������������������������������������������������������� communication development.

Downright Special Education Outreach Work with Schools

Downright Special Education aims to support effective inclusion in mainstream schools. Our three part-time members of staff provide support to 49 children in mainstream nurseries, pre-schools and schools. We have continued to increase our support to mainstream secondary schools as more of our children choose to continue their education this way. We now support seven children in mainstream secondary. The number of schools and nurseries receiving direct support from us is around 45. Our specialist teachers have visited schools to assess children and advise teaching staff, provided training for schools on the learning profile of children with Down syndrome, assisted with formulating effective Individual Education Plans (IEPs), written reports for the Education and Health Care Plan (EHCP) process, and attended annual reviews and

transition meetings. We also continue to provide Education Resource Packs for each child we support when they begin their formal education.

� Due to the teacher being shown the learning style of children with Down syndrome, they have been able to plan and resource lessons to allow the child to access the curriculum better. The child has become so confident and engaged in learning thanks to the support given to both teaching staff, support staff and the child. �

Laura Nichols is our Early Years Advisor and, in addition to leading a Friday morning early interventi ������������������ remit is to provide support and advice on inclusion of a child with Down syndrome in mainstream nursery or preschool settings. She ensures our children get the best start to their education before they even reach statutory school age. Laura had 19 children on her caseload and provided support to 16 different settings this year.

Katie Bewell is our Specialist Teacher, mostly working with children in Key Stage 1. Katie had 12 children on her caseload this year. The use of colourful semantics for comprehension and speech fluency, and incorporating its use in specialist Apps such as Clicker, has continued to be a success this year. Many Teaching Assistants (TAs) are now using it in the classroom and we are seeing our years of work on the use of colourful semantics paying off, with our children making significant progress in this area of development. There continues to be great success with phonological awareness training, using multiphonics bricks with matching boards, which really help children blend ������������������������

���������������������������� ey Stage 2/3 Advisory Teacher. Nicola has been instrumental in providing outreach support to our KS2/3 children and supporting the children, staff and parents in the transition to secondary school. Nicola had 21 children on her case load. In the last year, has begun to support children in KS4 (years 10&11). Nicola has continued to develop our INSET training offer for schools, writing and delivering a suite of new courses to suit the requests from schools.

Page 9 of 22

Very importantly, we continue to offer small-group sessions at our Downright Special Friday group for school-age children and their TAs to the end of Key Stage 1. This year, we had 12 children attending these afternoon sessions in

three different teaching groups. These structured lessons cover the core elements of the curriculum, including reading, writing, literacy, numeracy, and speech and language development. Having the TAs attend means they can see a demonstration of how to practically apply the specific teaching techniques which ��������������������������������������������� They are given resources they can take away for use in the classroom and have plenty of opportunity to ask for advice on

any issues they may be facing in the classroom, or to get guidance on next steps. It is also useful for them to meet other TAs to share experiences and learn from each other. We also continued monthly groups for children who have recently moved into KS2. Led by our KS2/3 ��������������������������� hese groups focused on developing comprehension skills.

During the pandemic ������������ these groups were delivered online via Zoom, and support to schools also continued online or in person where the guidelines have allowed it to happen.

Case Study

I have been coming to Downright Special since I was a baby and I am now five years old. I am in a group with other children who also started at the same time as me. We are good friends and I see them outside of Downright Special too. As soon as I arrive on a Friday, I ask Katie my teacher where each of them are. Our mummies are all friends too because they met at Downright Special. Now that I am at school I come in the afternoon with my TA.

My speech has become clearer, the number of words I know has increased and I can build better and longer sentences since last year. I am getting good at talking about the things I like and dislike and my needs and wants. Recently my mummy and teaching assistant were given resources from Downright Special to help me with road safety. I like reading the social story about it and I have learned some of the signs for danger.

At the beginning of the year, I had to do my Downright Special lessons online. All my resources were sent to school the week before and then my TA and I did the lessons with Katie over Zoom. I did find this tricky at times but my TA and Katie helped to make them fun and I continued to learn during this time.

At school my TA uses all the vocabulary boards, books and resources given to me every Friday and she continues to do the work with me at school in between lessons. She does the work exactly the same way as she has seen at Fridays and this routine really helps me to learn and improve my concentration. My teaching assistant also had this to say about how Downright Special has helped her to help me:

����� ng to Downright Special with the child I work with has helped me massively and has made me want to know more. My knowledge and confidence in how to support him has improved. The children work really well in the sessions and the resources are amazing for use in school as well as at Friday group. It has also been useful meeting � other Teaching Assistants we share ideas and give each other advice. I have also accessed lots of the other training the charity offers which has really helped. How the Downright Special staff are with the children, the positivity they show is great. Any behaviour issues are looked at and sorted and if I have any questions then Katie ��������������

Support to Families

Our priorities during the year were to offer additional support to families and to further develop our social event opportunities for older children

Social Events

Parents told us how isolated they and their children were feeling during the pandemic and how desperate they were to have social events and chances to meet up with other families. Social events allow our families to get together, share experiences, pass on tips, support each other, ������������������������������������������� . The events also give the children a chance to make friends with other children with Down syndrome and develop what we hope will be lifelong friendships and support networks. These events are just as important as our formal activities and this year we made it a priority to offer as many social events as possible whether they were online or, later in the year, in person as restrictions eased. We also knew how much our older children valued events just for them where they could socialise with their peers of the same age.

We were unable to have our usual Christmas party in 2020 so instead we arranged a socially distanced Christmas present delivery to our families. Our team of volunteer Santas and Elves drove all over Hull and East Yorkshire, delivering gifts to some very excited children with 40 families taking part.

�������������������������������������������������������������� -egg hunt so, following on the success of Christmas we also arranged for a team of volunteer Easter Bunnies to deliver eggs to our families with 32 families taking part.

In addition to these events, we ran the following sessions for different age groups, initially all online and then moving face-to-face as soon as restrictions allowed. Over 50 of our children attended at least one event this year.

Pre-school/Primary Events

Page 11 of 22

Youth Club Events (secondary age+):

The young people also completed their own ����� - ������ evaluation forms telling us how much they enjoyed it and giving us their ideas for future get-togethers.

Events for Parents

For the first time we also organised two zoom events exclusively for parents, based on feedback we had � ������������� ������������������������������������������������������� Both events were poorly attended so for next year we will have to consult again to find out what would work better.

Other Support

New and Expectant Parents

We continued to support families new to parenting a baby with Down syndrome to offer support and information and this year welcomed two new babies to our special family. Through the hospital and health visiting teams, families are usually put in contact with us within a week of the birth or if a parent knows antenatally then we provide support through the pregnancy ������������������������������������������������������������� using the extensive network we have built up to put the new parents in touch with others. As our database has grown to over 120 local families, we can now go so far as to match new parents to those of similar ages,

situations and with babies who have similar medical conditions. For a new parent, there is nothing better than speaking to somebody who knows exactly what they are going through and can give them a glimpse of easier times a couple of years down the road, and there is nothing that our families with older children like better than reaching out to give new parents support, reassurance, advice and hope for the future. Fantastically, our families are working together for mutual benefit, which was always our ambition.

Advice

During the pandemic we have gave lots of 1:1 advice and support to families by phone such as 1:1 assessments and activity ideas for our youngest children, advice on toilet training, support with accessing Early Help services and help with accessing school. We have a closed Facebook group for parents, giving them a safe place to share useful information, ask questions and provide mutual support. This was particularly useful for sharing information and questions relating to covid vaccinations for our vulnerable children.

We have supported several families this year with advice on filling in benefit forms, in providing reports and advice for Education and Health Care Plans, and with support in choosing schools and nurseries. We have been able to

Page 12 of 22

help several families with their applications for claiming Disability Living Allowance (DLA) or appealing against decisions.

Online Library

We were pleased this year to move to an online library system, where we could catalogue all of the books, information and resources we have and make it easy for parents and carers to view the list and arrange to borrow items. The system also makes it easier for us to log the whereabouts of all our resources. Thanks to a grant from the Smile Foundation High Fiver grants we were able to buy some new books to add to the catalogue.

Downright Special Health

� This year we were delighted to get funding to recruit into a new part-time post Downright Special Health Lead. Downright Special has always had a strong focus on education and the aim of this new Health Lead role is to bring this same level of expertise and knowledge to the understanding of the health needs of children with Down syndrome. Sam Findlay, a registered Learning Disability Nurse started the role in December 2020.

The main achievements in the last twelve months have been:

� ���������������������������������������������������������������������������� -18 months in order to make the local NHS Down syndrome care pathway more accessible and relevant to children of this age. The directory clarifies the appointments children should expect to have at this age, the common health issues and details of who to contact in each service, all linked to the developmental milestones for these children. The directory has been well received by parents and this year directories will be developed for all other age groups too.

� Creating a bespoke hospital passport for children with Down syndrome. This document is for parents to record a one- ����������������������������������������������������������������������������������������� adjustments needed so that they can take it to appointments and avoid the need to retell their story over and over as well as acting as an aide-memoire for them as it easy to forget important points in the stress of an emergency hospital visit. The passport also includes information on sepsis and infection in children with Down syndrome, Makaton signing information and communication cards.

� Working with the local Emergency Department Paediatric Consultant to set up an alert system within hospital records so that when a child with Down syndrome arrives at hospital there is a flag on their records that alerts doctors and nurses to the possible differences in how a child with Down syndrome might display symptoms of serious illness

� Helping families understand the priority vaccination lists for Covid and helping them with letters to their GP to ensure their child or young person accessed the vaccine at the right time. The Health Lead also attended several seminars on the impact of Covid on people with Down syndrome and disseminated the information to parents and carers, helping to alleviate their worries and understand the risk to their individual children.

� Building links with the local Occupational Therapy team and working jointly with them to support children with specific physical needs ensuring they can be better included in our sessions.

Page 13 of 22

� Signposting families to useful information relating to health and answering lots of individual queries from parents

Plans for the future :

The first year of having the Health Lead role in place has been a huge success. In addition to carrying on the work already started there are three other areas of work we plan to undertake:

� Start work on understanding more about children with a Dual Diagnosis of Autism and Down syndrome and ��������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������� in either the Down syndrome community or the autism community and we want to change that for our families. We will be working to understand the latest research on dual diagnosis and how to apply that knowledge to the work we do to support the development and health of these children.

� The NHS is undergoing a reorganisation next year with the development of Integrated Care Systems and our Health Lead will be leading on making sure that the Down syndrome Care Pathway continues to be supported a �������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������� with key contacts in the NHS aware of our concerns.

� Begin work on a desensitisation programme. Many of our children find giving blood samples very difficult for many reasons but often sensory-related. We would like to develop a programme of work to try to help those children feel less stressed and upset by blood tests, which unfortunately most have to do at least annually

� Supporting Young People Building a Brighter Future Project

Our priorities during the year were to explore opportunities with further education partners and local employers to support young adults with Down syndrome

We have been thinking about our long term strategy and how we need to evolve to meet the needs of our young people as they leave school and transition to further education, work experience, training or employment. We formally began �������������������������������� project in July 2019, leading workshop to gather feedback from local organisations and providers and gathered feedback on the gaps in services and areas which are working well.

The project has been on hold due to the pandemic but we plan to restart work in early 2022 with the aim of having a clear view of the future role of Downright Special in supporting the transition to post-16 colleges, training and employment by the end of 2022.

Page 14 of 22

Advocacy

Our priorities during the year were to work collaboratively with our NHS partners to review and communicate the Down Syndrome Care Pathway, to actively participate in Down Syndrome Awareness Week and to raise the profile of the charity.

Awareness Week

Part of our mission is to act as a voice for the children and parents we support. We aim to change perceptions and raise awareness of what it really means to have Down syndrome.

For Awareness Week this year we had a successful social media campaign throughout the week, along the theme of #LivingOurBestLives. We had some great videos of our children of all ages showing how they like to have fun. Huge thanks to Anya, Charlie, Frankie, Freya, Hermione, Jesse, Joey, Mia, Millie, Rachel and Raphi who shared films of themselves cooking, helping with the DIY, sledging, playing table tennis, cycling, reading, splashing in puddles and playing basketball.

We also had several schools and other supporters wearing their #LotsofSocks on World Down Syndrome Day to raise awareness.

New Parent Packs

Our new parent packs continue to be available on the maternity and neonatal wards. Midwives can give these packs out to parents knowing they are receiving up-to-date information on parenting a child with Down syndrome. A version of these packs is also available for those with an antenatal diagnosis. This year we made our packs available to download from our website https://www.downrightspecial.co.uk/expectant-parents and https://www.downrightspecial.co.uk/new-parents.

Page 15 of 22

Campaigning

Speaking out in the media on important issues affecting our community is also an important part of our role. In November 2020 Charity Manager, Gillian, spoke to ITV Calendar news about a recent Emmerdale storyline featuring a character who was pregnant with a baby with Down syndrome, highlighting the out-of-date, negative perceptions of Down syndrome that were being perpetuated by the show � s writers and the upset and distress caused to viewers with Down syndrome and families.

Towards the end of this year we also supported the work of the National Down Syndrome Policy Group as they campaigned for a Down Syndrome Bill to be passed through parliament.

Networking

We have continued to build networks with groups nationwide, through the DSUK-led Facebook group for those running parent support groups with the aim of making a difference by sharing support, services, knowledge and expertise, making sure we are delivering the best service possible to our families and running our groups as efficiently as possible. We ������������������������������������������������������������� We work closely with the local Parent Carer Forums to feedback views from parents of key issues affecting them. We have a presence at the East Riding Learning Disability Partnership Board.

Communication with parents and carers

Making sure we hear the issues facing parents so that we can properly represent their voices is very important to us. In addition to developing a communications and engagement action plan parent and trustee Kate Long has the role of maintaining good communication between the trustees and parents, ensuring that we are continuing to deliver services that maximise the benefit to the families we support. We send regular emails to parents, began to send a termly update newsletter to parents and communicate frequently via our social media channels and closed Facebook group.

Training

Our priority during the year has been to increase our training offer for parents, schools and health professionals

One of our aims is to promote the awareness of Down syndrome and support successful inclusion. One of the ways we do this is providing training which is accessible to schools, parents and professionals working with our children. We minimise how much we charge for these courses to ensure no child is disadvantaged.

We have had a successful year delivering a comprehensive programme of training to over 200 parents and professionals. During lockdown and the ongoing pandemic we very successfully switched to delivering our training online via Zoom or Teams, managing to reach more education staff than ever before.

Advisory Teacher Nicola We delivered 21 training course this year including: Introduction to Working with delivering online training Children with Down Syndrome; Maths using Numicon; Supporting Speech, Language and via Zoom, Communication Needs, Developing Language and Reading, Growing, Changing and Keeping Safe, Working Memory, Coordination Difficulties, Promoting Positive Behaviour, Toilet Training, Sensory Processing Difficulties. This year, we continued to develop our INSET training offer and delivered seven twilight training sessions on colourful semantics, coordination difficulties, language and communication, language for thinking, behaviour and signing.

Training midwives and other healthcare professionals in how to deliver the news that a baby has Down syndrome is important to us and this year we were delighted to work with Positive About Down Syndrome to deliver training to 44 midwives and others from across the new Humber Coast and Vale Local Maternity System.

Fundraising

The work of Downright Special is only made possible by the generosity and efforts of many people who have supported us by awarding us a grant, raising funds, or donating goods and services. Our plan in this year was to continue to have a broadly based fundraising strategy, rather than relying on one type of income. Because of the ������������������������������� fundraising, we adjusted our fundraising strategy reducing the targets for community fundraising and increasing the reliance on grants& trusts. Our new targets for this year were: grants/trusts(69%), community (25%), training (5%) regular giving (1%). These targets are monitored at trustee meetings. Increasing our focus on grants has reaped rewards in 2021, with successful grants received from:

TOTAL £ 63,940.00
----- End of picture text -----

In addition, this year we received £1171.21 from the Co-Op Local Community Fund , bringing the total received from them over the last two years to £2358.39. We also received £300 from the Asda Foundation .

Our income from grants increased by 22% compared to last year. Based on their successes to date, we have once again invested £1,050 in paying for 35 hours of a bid- ������������������������������ our grant applications and paid for a further 35 hours to cover our needs in 2021/2022.

Our community fundraising income saw a 3% increase compared to last year but was still 23% lower than prepandemic levels. We have worked very hard to try to replace some of the lost income through online raffles, auctions, encouraging families to take part in our Down Syndrome Awareness Week activities and trying to find lots of other Covid-safe ways to fundraise. We raised a record £12000 during Awareness Week through families and friends taking part in a number of challenges, including Nature Scavenger Hunts, a triathlon, Beard and Head Shave, Yorkshire Rapeseed Oil 500-mile walk, Facebook donate buttons, custard pie challenge, Cookie Sale, Lots of Socks in schools and nurseries, donations and matched funds, raffles, sponsored walks.

We have been Charity of the year for Yorkshire Rapeseed Oil and we are very grateful for the support.

Page 18 of 22

Overall, our income this year increased by 13% (from £92k to £104k) compared to last year, which given the challenging circumstances of much of this year, gives us confidence that we will be able fund the charity in line with our budget for 2021/2022 of £115k if we continue to implement our fundraising strategy in the way we have this year.

It is important to highlight we receive no statutory funding, and do not currently charge our parents or the schools and early years settings we support for the majority of the services we offer. The only charge was a heavily subsidised rate for school staff to attend training courses.

Every penny goes towards building a brighter future for children with Down syndrome and making a huge difference to their lives today. Our heartfelt thanks go to those who supported us by raising funds or providing goods and services between November 2020 and October 2021. These include:

Financial Review

Income

Our levels of income saw a 13% increase compared to last year. This was mainly due to increases in grants (up 22%) due to our focus on this income stream. We began to see our community fundraising income increase following the devastating impact the pandemic had on community fundraising in 2020. Community Fundraising and donations were up 3% compared to 2020 but still 23% lower than in 2019 pre-pandemic.

We continue to fundraise ourselves with our eBay shop and income from sharing the use of our printer. Our campaigns for World Down Syndrome Day generated around £12,000 and we ran a number of online raffles and auctions.

Fundraising from individuals taking part in sponsored events continues to play a vital role in securing sufficient income to run the charity, although income from this was much reduced this year compared to before the pandemic and we continue to look for innovative, covid-safe ways to encourage individuals to fundraise for us.

Expenditure

In line with our increase in income our total costs increased as planned by 10%. Wages costs increased by 13% as we recruited the new part-time Health lead post and replaced our volunteer baby and toddler group leads with two sessional workers thus ensuring we could have reliable ongoing support for these age ranges of children.

We continue to invest in specialist resources and making bespoke materials which can be used in our education sessions or given to families and schools to support the development of the children. These costs increased this year as we had to buy duplicate resources to be sent out for online lessons and to help keep our sessions covid-safe. We also invested in an update to the B-Squared Assessment Tool to help set targets and measure progress in our children in line with the latest changes to the national curriculum. We had to invest in IT systems such as zoom to allow us to deliver support online. This year we had to purchase in some new laptops to replace our aging systems. We were pleased to be able to reintroduce social events during this year meaning these costs were back to similar levels to before the pandemic.

Offsetting these increases was a decrease in building rental costs and travel expenses due to delivering some sessions online rather than in-person because of the pandemic.

We are very grateful to the many individuals who purchased office supplies from our Amazon Wishlist, helping to keep these costs lower than in 2019.

We keep our costs as low as possible through gifts in kind from local businesses, such as reduced accountancy costs from Harris Lacey and Swain, employment law advice from Gosschalks solicitors, website hosting / telephony support from The One Point and many more.

We are hugely thankful for the incredible efforts from our team of volunteers, who have enabled us to continue to be so cost effective.

Looking to the future

Our plans for the next 10 years continue to be centred on expanding our range of services in line with the increasing age range of the children we support so we can continue to support their evolving needs and help them reach their potential. Our goal is to be able to support children through their secondary school years and beyond to further education and employment. We also want to ensure that we continue to be sustainable in the short term whilst we are still adapting our offer to the needs of families during the pandemic.

Some of our plans are:
