Achievements and Performance

	SORP reference
Summary of the main 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.	Para 1.20	After moving our services online during the pandemic, this year we have successfully resumed our in-person support and wellbeing events. The student university events have settled into an established rhythm on different campuses, both with larger festivals where many students access wellbeing sessions, and smaller living room events where students have more one to one time to talk and connect. The introduction of an experienced therapy dog has been particularly successful in these smaller settings, grounding students and bringing a sense of home. Our café venues have taken time to recover their own staffing levels post COVID and are now ready to host our events and deal with the extra custom that our events bring in. We look forward to picking up these café venue events in the coming year. There are 2 new areas of the community who have invited our services us into their communities, both demographics involve some of the most vulnerable and abused members of society. Specific funding has been sourced to help meet these needs. Team recruitment is taking place to provide a team who are aware of the sensitivity and specific needs of these 2 demographics. We are keen, of course, to continue the high level of Safeguarding and sensitivity that the Charity has hitherto be known for in these areas. Despite the difficulties caused during this pandemic, our teams grew both in number and experience duringthis time because of the

emphasis we placed on online training, online services and connections within the team. Recruitment remains a priority to meet the increasing wellbeing needs post covid. The attention to funding throughout the last year has meant that the charity has begun to receive funding from personal donors and a community grant from the Lottery Commission. During this process we conducted a review of our costs, successfully sourcing partnerships with several local businesses including a pizza company for free pizza at our events. This means we have brought down costs for individual events. This is important to maximise the effective use of resources, and the sustainability of events going forward. The effectiveness and success of the services for, the members of the public who attend our events, and any organisations which host those events, has been evidenced by the unwavering positive feedback which we have received from our feedback forms and through consultation with those service users. Some of the feedback has been both moving and poignant, explaining that service user mental health has been positively affected, their sense of isolation has been markedly reduced and their sense of community increased. The team are getting to know repeat attendees who become part of the community, often helping out in various ways at events themselves, which increases connection. The benefit to our service users is clear and has been matched by the hard work of the charity governance this year, meaning that the charity is in a stronger position despite the demands and rigours of COVID. We have arranged the transition for the charity effectively at the natural end of the founding Finance Trustee’s term of office, recruiting a professional accountant who has volunteered their services as our new Financial Officer, so the financial side of the charity is in good hands going forward. The Independent Examiners report confirms the financial health of the charity processes. The Trustee Body continues to have a wide range of skills that are solid in governance as well as very aware of the needs of the community, service users, safeguarding and the appropriate use of resources. A new Trustee with understanding all the issues involved in the Charities purposes will be joining the board this year.
