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. **----- Start of picture text -----**
