Achievements and Performance

| Summary of the main 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 | We have been able to start our programs for the benefit of clients in recovery from Drug and Alcohol Abuse. We successfully purchased Public liability and Trustee indemnity in early 2022 after a period where no quotes were offered due to covid. We are currently running a program with clients referred from a Drug and Alcohol service in Plymouth and clients are so far giving very positive feedback. Our 2 pilot programs demonstrated an efficacy for long term substance recovery with all the associated benefits to the individual and society of around 70% of participants. We are confident that current and future courses will achieve similar results. We have been able to continue our collaboration with the dept. of Psychology , Exeter University in order to analyse our outcomes. Although outside this report, we have already achieved further funding and will start another full program with a new cohort of clients. Recovered clients also give hope and inspiration to a much larger group of peers and therefore the Clean Ascent programs deliver a very powerful positive influence and benefits to the community. |
