Athievements and Performance Severb Up Charity continues to offer a range of accessible, inclusive service5. including- the delivery of alternate SatLJrday (two per monthl play15-11 years) and youth112-25 years) se55ions, holiday youth and playschemes across the year. Demand for summer playscheme has increased; this year we partnered with Hamilton Special School to share staff and resources, effectively doubling provision ènd number of familie5 we were able to support. We now have our OFSTED registration for the after-school provision- thi5 has been vital for sustaining services for working parents. We continue to develop 19+ weekday sessions fof young adults who are NEET INot in Employment, Education orTrainlngl. providing opportunities for volunteering, skills development and events. We continue tcj manage a commissioned service at Hamllton School- a Friday in-school play session for children whose parents are not available to collect them at Ipm. 2024-25 has seen a recovery from the financ131 challenge5 of the previous year. We entered the new financial year with funding assured for 2025-26, thanks in no small part to receiving a 3-year Reaching Communitles Grant sustaining service delivery and core costs. Lookin8 beyond 2026 there ore 3till uncertainties on the horizon- some resulting from Birmingham City Council failing to commission the Short Breaks tender (updates are expected in autumn of 20251. However, we have increased capacity to fundraise, via the promotional work Df the Trustees and support with strategy from a fundraising specialisi. The Trustees have supported and taken part in a local '30 Days Movement, challenge for the ch3rity in June 2024, ra15ing £1700 in sponsorship. Our work is strengthened through the relationships, partnerships and support we re1ve from.. Dens of Equxlity, Children's Quarter, Hamilton Special School, 5purgeons Charity, ATHAC (Access to Heritage Arts and Culture), Crick Garden's CIC, and The Hive Jewellery Quarter. A big thank you also for the commitment of our Trustees. many of whom are dealing with personal difficult life situations. We are thankful for ongoing funding support from our main grant funder5'.
