|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|ROC Dawlish has been instrumental in fostering community<br>collaboration by encouraging partnership working between<br>charities and other local agencies for the public benefit. The<br>charity has helped publicise local charities and other clubs<br>and societies, helping them to recruit new members from<br>the general public, as well as new volunteers through a<br>major one-day event at the end of 2019. The charity’s work<br>with young people has helped to combat the adverse<br>effects of poor mental health by providing opportunities for<br>young people to gain life experience and self confidence<br>through horse-riding, although Covid-19 has temporarily<br>prevented further development of this initiative. The<br>charity’s pioneering work in bringing leaders of local<br>agencies and charities together has laid the foundations for<br>a major town-wide Covid-19 response initiative, Helping<br>Dawlish, which was started in March 2020 and has seen<br>ROC Dawlish provide strategic input from the outset as well<br>as significant liaison with local schools who have referred<br>families in need of help. The phone befriending, food<br>parcels, hot meals, Christmas hampers and activity packs<br>which we have provided have been a vital boost to morale<br>in the lives of both single people and families in need<br>during the challenges of lockdown.|
