| 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 | ROC Dawlish continues to play a key role in fostering community collaboration by encouraging partnership working between charities and other local agencies for the public benefit. The charity has continued to provide strategic input into the wider community through the cost- of-living crisis, as an active participant in Helping Dawlish and through closer liaison with local schools, following the appointment of our Schools’ Coordinator in July 2022. In addition to continuing to supply basic foodstuffs to local families in need through the Dawlish Community Larder, ROC Dawlish has also been running a family mentoring scheme, through collaboration with Dawlish College, the local Secondary School. This scheme promises hope for transformation in local families struggling to access education, for whatever reason. This scheme was funded by the Police and Crime Commissioner for a second year running to help reduce the risk of children refusing regular school attendance from becoming involved in anti-social behaviour, including illegal drugs. |
