becoming socially excluded, relieving

isolation.

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|The Charity had another positive and busy
year in 2023 with a consolidation of activities
and services.
The transformative impact that HI Friends can
have on residents lives continues and on one
occasion in December an elderly resident
approached a Wellbeing Team member
advising that since she had become involved
with HI Friends her life had changed
completely.
A key milestone for HI Friends was reaching an
agreement with South Cambs District Council
on being able to use the Kay Hitch Way| Community Centre room for an agreed number of hours each week. This provides the charity with a venue for some services and activities. As part of the agreement HI Friends arranged the redecoration of the whole building so local Kay Hitch residents have benefited as well having closer access to HI Friends services and activities. Spring 2023 saw the two week Histon & Impington Wellbeing Festival which included over 30 events which were attended by over 1500 people of all ages. The Festival we hope provided an increased awareness of the many different forms that wellbeing can take. 2023 saw a developing relationship with the local Primary Care Network and we are hopeful that this relationship will deepen in 2024 and involve working more closely with the Firs Surgery. Following the restart of Holiday at Home in the summer of 2022 a first seaside trip to Hunstanton was organised at the of June 2023. Over 50 older village residents enjoyed the day. HI Friends is committed to helping all ages and an example of this is the Flourishing Start a six week wellbeing programme for primary aged children which also actively involves parents. It was rolled out in the Autumn term and has been positively received. Continued mental wellbeing support was provided at the village Secondary School. The existing charity services and services continue to be well used. ## **Additional information (optional)** You may choose to include further statements where relevant about: |
