Achievements and Performance

	SORP reference
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 continue to actively engage and work with communities in relation to mental health education, suicide prevention, mindfulness and signposting individuals for the support that they require. We listen, signpost and support individuals on an ongoing basis and we have adapted our methods of communication and reach well to actively support our community. At every occasion, we work to our objects, distribute our mental health education, support card and signpost ensuring that anyone struggling and reaches out to us has the support that they need. We are now able to assist with both free services as well as directing individuals who ask to paid services as well. Our team itself is very knowledgeable in this field and able to provide additional support. Running the #ME projects and initiating The No JudgeMENt for male mental health has gained a lot of support and engagement. Equally, our focus on children’s mental health is going superbly too. DISTRIBUTION OF CARDS/ LEAFLETS Our networking, activities, events and social media platforms have enabled us to constantly work towards achieving our main aims which are: -To raise awareness of mental health and mindfulness within our community by enabling access to existing services -To support existing organisations to influence and educate our community in ensuring that physical and emotional well-being is a priority for everyone. We regularly receive very positive and encouraging feedback from the community. Members of the public have informed us they were able to get help and support from numbers provided by The Heera Foundation and thank us for making them aware of services available to them. We have reached out to as many people as possible and spread the message that ‘it’s o.k not to be o.k’

and encouraged people to talk openly about mental health issues and have helped remove the stigma of shame associated with Mental Health. We have received a great response towards our social media platforms such as facebook, instagram and twitter and our followers are growing rapidly. We regularly give the public information on self-care and wellbeing as well as promote the mental health services that are available. Our Social Media is developing its followership and our innovative approaches continue to reach out to all communities. We have undertaken workshops and presentations on mental health matters and been given great positive feedback on the knowledge shared and imparted. We have supported members of the community who now volunteer as they too wish to help others.
