THE CHARLIE BURNS FOUNDATION
ANNUAL REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022
Message from The Founder and Trustee KEELEY BURNS
he Charlie Burns Foundation’s are happy to present to you our 3rd Annual Report.
This year we have been less focused on food poverty and are prioritising our regular day-to-day activities to support those bereaved and affected by serious violence. Extending our focus on health and wellbeing we have been able to provide community activities that focus on improving social connectedness and resilience building as the pandemic is still upon us as we are still experiencing local lockdowns.
Postcode Parents have gone back to face-to-face sessions although there has been some impact due to local lockdowns we have been able to provide a consistent service and move sessions online.
However, through our experience of extending our service we have realised that there is a need to continue to centre our services around health and wellbeing, providing traditional and alternative therapeutic interventions for individuals and in group settings.
Over the next year the Charity will focus on outreach and sustaining partnerships with other organisations to strengthen our presence and extend the interventions that we provide. Many thanks to all staff, volunteers and facilitators your hard work has enabled CBF to provide the much needed support to our community and users.

TRAUMA INFORMED FAMILY SUPPORT WORKER
We were awarded a grant from The Postcode Community Trust in the last financial year and we continue to provide much needed family and one-to-one specialist guidance, advocacy, practical & emotional support by a specialist Trauma Informed Family Support worker.
This position provides essential and valuable support and advocacy to families bereaved by serious violence. We were able to extent and focus on providing outreach and practical support, monitor health and wellbeing, signposting to specialist services of any issues of concern of wellbeing and assess the
psychosocial, practical and emotional needs as well as providing support during the grieving process. The trauma informed family support worker is the first point of contact for families that self-refer or are referred to The Charlie Burns Foundation.

…AS THERAPY
Following on from the successful Drumming…As therapy in September 2021 we received funding from Clarion futures to extend the …As Therapy programme.
The programme provided mental health and wellbeing support to communities, designed to strengthen psychological and community resilience using traditional and alternative therapies. …As Therapy aimed to support and equip participants with positive practices and coping mechanisms to strengthen resilience during traumatic life experiences and events.
With six different therapies over 17 weeks; group counselling, Reiki, yoga, Writing, Drama and Drumming this ‘Covid-19 Community Project’ designed to reduce isolation, build social connections, improve psychological coping skills, build community resilience and future-proof wellbeing.
With advertising on Eventbrite the sessions were a great success with may people attending from across London.
We would like to thank the facilitators who provided the community with traditional and alternative practices to improve their wellbeing. A big thank you to psychotherapists at R-U-N, Reiki healer - Cher Nedd, Yoga specialist - Lotte Rice, Award winning writer - Eva Edo, Experts in self discovery healing and personal development who facilitated the Drama sessions - The Remedy and Master Drummer from One Drum Foundation, Abass Dodoo.

POSTCODE PARENTS
Our most consistent project Postcode Parents continues to provide weekly sessions and a safe space for those affected by serious youth violence. We connected with local organisation ‘I Found Me Therapeutic Counselling’ who were contracted to facilitate Postcode Parent sessions. We started off with face-to-face sessions but due to the Pandemic and local lockdown restrictions we had to move some sessions online.
Online duel delivery of Postcode Parents extended the reach for client participation. We realised that with the online sessions we were able to engage those needing support from
outside of London and outside of the United Kingdom. We will be reviewing the way Postcode Parents will be delivered. We continue to provide necessary one-to-one specialist therapeutic services to parents experiencing severe trauma.
CRISIS RESPONSE
Crisis Response Sessions was held once a month and facilitated by an experienced psychotherapist who specialises in supporting those bereaved through serious violence. Sessions were designed to help users move from individual trauma to collective healing, with focus on the psychological and emotional affects experienced by users in the aftermath of losing a family member to serious violence.
The sessions provided a space for users to gain awareness of their strengths and limitations based upon their experiences; gain understanding of behaviours, actions and choices and provide users with practical individual and collective coping practices.
