## **Achievements and Performance** 

||SORP reference||
|---|---|---|
|Summary of the main<br>achievements of the charity,<br>identifying the difference the<br>charity’s work has made to<br>the circumstances of its<br>beneficiaries and any wider<br>benefits to society as a<br>whole.|Para 1.20|We have been able to start our programs for<br>the benefit of clients in recovery from Drug<br>and Alcohol Abuse. We successfully<br>purchased Public liability and Trustee<br>indemnity in early 2022 after a period where<br>no quotes were offered due to covid.<br>We are currently running a program with<br>clients referred from a Drug and Alcohol<br>service in Plymouth and clients are so far<br>giving very positive feedback. Our 2 pilot<br>programs demonstrated an efficacy for long<br>term substance recovery with all the<br>associated benefits to the individual and<br>society of around 70% of participants. We<br>are confident that current and future courses<br>will achieve similar results. We have been<br>able to continue our collaboration with the<br>dept. of Psychology , Exeter University in<br>order to analyse our outcomes.  Although<br>outside this report, we have already<br>achieved further funding and will start<br>another full program with a new cohort of<br>clients.<br>Recovered clients also give hope and<br>inspiration to a much larger group of peers<br>and therefore the Clean Ascent programs<br>deliver a very powerful positive influence and<br>benefits to the community.|
