Trustees Annual Report 18[th] February 2020 – 31[st] March 2021
- Because of Covid and the implementation lockdown our strategies for community work shops had to go online, instead of in public venues.
- Our first endeavour during lockdown was the online book launch of the book entitled From Rehab To Life. This took place at MediaNet Studios in the month of May 2020. The aim of the book is to raise awareness as well as prevention and recovery from drugs and alcohol addiction, domestic/street violence and crime and homelessness. As prevention is better than cure, we are very committed to helping the young to steer away from these vices before it is too late. However, we are keen to help people of all ages. Proceeds from the sales of this book will go to From Rehab To Life Foundation.
- From July 2020 we’ve been in collaboration with Our Forgotten Neighbours Soup Kitchen, which was launched on July 1[st] , 2021. The soup kitchen which has been running for nearly eighteen months, every Thursday on Commercial Street E1 6LS made a very successful start and serves approximately 150 people every week. The homeless are a priority, and all vulnerable poor families and marginalised and disadvantaged individuals are also welcome. All colours and creeds and genders are also welcome. The soup kitchen gives us the opportunity to identify those who need help and as a result we give general advise and counselling on the spot in a professional and compassionate capacity. We also make a list of referrals for detox and rehab centres, as well as the homeless persons unit.
- We produced and presented online TV workshops on mental health solutions, drug and alcohol addiction, domestic/street violence, crime, and homelessness at MediaNet TV Studios. This consisted of three workshops which were recorded from the end of October to early November 2020. The online TV workshops were a great success reaching over five hundred people and beyond. The audience continues to multiply and the raising of awareness and prevention of drug and alcohol abuse, street domestic violence crime and homelessness continues to rise. As a result, we continue to see many individuals courageously embark on the road of recovery.
- Our chief executive went on a three-day Reiki course in order to help our clients in a holistic approach.
- Our fixed asset at the moment includes 1. generator for the soup kitchen and other activities, 2. A large Urn to prepare tea for the homeless 3. four tables and chairs for the soup kitchen and other activities.
- Our counselling sessions are held at the Brickworks Community Centre Crouch Hill N4 4BY, for a duration of one hour per session. This is going exceedingly well as we continue to bear witness to courageous and positive changes in the recovery of our clients.
- We also provide therapy in Reiki, Massage and Reflexology at Muswell Hill N10. This service is carried out with professional therapists. Assessments are made on every client before they are allocated to a particular therapy and given three to four sessions per client. These therapies helps to relieve stress and anxieties fear and pain that leads to steering our clients away from drug and alcohol abuse, street/ domestic violence, crime, and homelessness. These holistic therapies also helps to restore their emotional balance, self-esteem, self-worth, and confidence individually and collectively in our communities. Unfortunately, due to lockdown these therapeutic sessions had to be postponed.
- During the period of 18/2/20 to 31/3/21 we have teamed up with Islington council, Godwin Lawson Foundation and received funding from the Lottery Community Fund.
