Summary ofthe main achievements ofthe charity during the year			The Trustees have considered the guidance issued by the Charity Commission in respect ofpublic benefit and confirm that they adhere to this guidance through the activities ofthe charity.
			Over the past year Triple A Project has worked hard to reverse the
			impact ofthe Covid 19pandemic for its staff and members.
			Returning to office working and face-to-face meetings after the
			lockdown restrictions was a difficult transition for many. The
			understanding and support provided by Triple A helped colleagues
			settle back into their workplace and our members resume their
			activities and friendships.
			With our core services able to operate normally again we were able
			to support approximately circa 220 autistic participants across our
			mentoring and befriending Navigator Programme, Positive Pals
			peer support and social groups, Duke of Edinburgh Bronze Award
			Scheme and Inclusion@work programme. Some members access
			just one ofour services, whilst others are involved in multiple Triple
			A activities.
			The Discover Your Autism Programme, with its Post Diagnosis
			courses and peer support has helped 65 newly diagnosed autistic
			people to date, many ofwhom did not receive their diagnosis until
			middle age and beyond. We have further people accessing our
			new on-line course and others are signed up forfuture in-person
			Our Navigator Programme continues to change lives with a
			pioneering approach that offers specialist, person-centred support
			to autistic people who may be feeling isolated, struggling with
			specific life-skills, have found themselves on the wrong side ofthe
			law or been the victim ofcrimes such as 'cuckooing' or mate crime.
			Positive Pals: Positive Pais seeks to tackle social isolation and
			social exclusion by providing a safe and accepting space for
			autistic individuals to meet socially and feel comfortable
			"unmasking" and being their true selves. The groups are facilitated
			by autistic peers. Recently we have also started some special
			interest groups including an art group and a Dungeons and
			Dragons group established by one ofour Navigatees. The Positive
			Pals groups vary in character depending on the needs ofthe
			group, ranging from the purely social to a peer support group.
			Many positive friendships have been formed throughout Cumbria,
			improving wellbeing, building confidence and self-esteem. We have
			groups formed for particular sections ofthe autistic community e.g a women's and a young people*s group.
			Our Discovery programme is funded in the North ofCumbria by the
			NHS. This isa post diagnosis support programme that is facilitated
			by the Triple Ateam. The programme consists ofaseries ofsix 2-
			hour workshops, which we produce 15times annually. These
			prog rammes were written by autistic people, for autistic people
			about autism —to enable the newly diagnosed to leam, explore and
			develo co in strate ies which are tailored to their individual
