Safaplace continues its role within the community helping parents to support their children's mental health and well-being. ## **Annual Conference** The theme of this year's free conference was titled ‘It's on us’ and explored the positive mental health and well-being of young people as a community responsibility. The conference took place in Stoke Newington school and we were delighted to be back in real life for the first time in three years. Sam Delaney, journalist, broadcaster and author gave our key speech and talked about his own lived experiences around mental health. Workshops included Dr. Helen Sharples and Rachel Lee Jones’ workshop on ‘Ways to communicate and connect with teenagers’, ‘Navigating neurodivergence and supporting children's mental health and well-being’ by Siobhan Moore Lynch, and author Margaret Rooke (Dyslexia is my Super Power) talking about how we can empower young people at home and in school. Finally we had presentations from George Sullivan and Tania Marwaha from Baton of Hope and also from Kooth an online digital support for young people with mental health issues. We like to thank everyone who supported us in organizing and attending this year’s conference. We are already starting to think about next year's conference Safaplace’s reflective garden established in Stoke Newington school goes from strength to strength. It is supported by the school’s PTFA and holds gardening sessions on the third Saturday of every month. We would also like to thank our supporters who have funded and supported our our initiatives this year thank you so much for our support please let us know if there are things that you would like us to be doing to support young people's mental health and well-being in the community we are always open to new ideas. ## **Financial review** The results of the year's operations are set out in the attached financial statements the net movements in funds for the year amounted to and the retained reserves as of 31st of may 2023 is compared with last year ## **Reserve policy** The Charity Commission requires charities to determine and explain their policy for free reserves.
