## **Review of Progress and Achievement** 

## **1. Administration** 

Ian Collinson continues as Project Manager; Paul Whitehead delivers the Drugs/Alcohol Interventions along with 2 very capable volunteers. We also have a further 5 volunteers performing various duties assisting with the development of the service who provide a further 80 hours per week between them. SWAP is responsible for Prison Assessments and assessments for those referred via other means. The Service also inputs and disseminates information on the database, which provides amongst other thing crime reduction figures and abstinence from drugs/alcohol statistics. One of the main functions is running recovery groups using volunteers.

## **3. Financial review** 

There are no funds in deficit at the year end and no funds are held on behalf of any other organisation. 

## **4. Activities** 

The main focus of the work of SWAP involves advocacy and support when clients first approach the service or are referred by Prisons, Probation Service, or other agencies. This is important to prevent a return to crime within the first few weeks on release. Crime is usually for acquisitive crime to pay for such things as tobacco, trainers and mobile phones, which are essentials rather than, as historically regarded, luxuries. 

SWAP also provides services to Alpha House Calderdale and Claver Hall in Shelf; mainly drugs testing and drugs treatment therapy. SWAP also organises leisure activities provided through the Day Centre which is managed by SWAP. This year provided a trip to Scarborough in partnership with Alpha House, Ten Pin Bowling, Walking Trips, Cinema, and other day trips. 

## **5. Achievements and performance** 

Good partnership working has been established and developed within both local prisons; mainly Leeds, Wealstun and Doncaster prisons. There are also good working relationships with the Probation Service and the Police Prolific Offender Team, and more recently, a good working relationship with staff at Recovery Steps which is a Humankind project that prescribes drugs/alcohol medication. SWAP also provides advocacy with criminal justice services and personnel. 

Performance, monitoring and evaluation continues to improve with the use of our custom designed data base which SWAP records all activity and clients’ progress. 

SWAP assess potential residents for suitability to the project and to provide a safe welcome after prison. An Initial needs assessment is undertaken to ascertain the financial status of accepted clients and help with signing them up for benefits, providing loans or gifts, (depending on financial status) for tobacco, clothing, mobile phone, mobile phone data costs and fuel costs. This is to ensure equity across the service user population.
