TRUSTEE REPORT

This has been an exciting and innovative year for TRF. We have seen a tremendous amount of growth in the scope and vision of our organisation. This has enabled TRF to support and educate individuals and organisations using the message of ‘hope in recovery’. Our powerful mission statement and values, clearly reflect TRF’s objective, to show love and support to those in the community.

Our unique message and application of Hope has unlocked a range of opportunities to support those in need for our service offerings; To cultivate partnerships and contribute to other organisations, to enhance their service offerings both locally and nationally; Opportunity to developed and successfully pilot the programme, Moving Mountains, which is specifically designed for young people who experience mental health; To provide workshops, events and activities in the community that enrich the lives of individuals through creative arts.

TRF have and will continue our involvement in raising national awareness of the impact of mental health and how recovery is possible.

TRF invest in our Hope Groups participants by offering training to become co- facilitators, providing the opportunity to support others. We are forever grateful for the volunteers and staff whose time, vision and passion we could not do without.

We are astounded by the positive impact that TRF and the Hope Groups had on those who have engaged in our services. We celebrate with those who have found hope and encourage them as they continue to grow and sustain it on their recovery journey.

We at TRF are humbled to have the pleasure and privilege to partner with and contribute to organisations with like-minded vision and purpose. To see people living life to the full, managing their Mental Health and being hopeful for the future.

The future of TRF is exciting, we anticipate the opening of our hub in Erdington in early 2023 which will enhance access to our service. There are also new projects in the pipeline covering topics which include men's mental health, crisis support, LGBTQIA and skills development for those in recovery.

We would like to extend a huge thank you to everyone who has contributed both financially and personally to the building of TRF. Our success is a shared one and we look forward in anticipation for the coming year and would be grateful for your continued support.

There are currently 4 trustees in post with a vacancy (soon to be appointed). No trustees have benefitted financially from their role and operate on an entirely voluntary basis. The Board of Trustees meets every 4-6 weeks to ensure the strategic direction and policy of the charity.

We review our aims, objectives and activities each year. This review looks at what we achieved and the outcomes of our work in the previous 12 months. The review looks at the success of each key activity and the benefits they have brought to those groups of people we are set up to help. The review also helps us ensure our aim, objectives and activities remained focused on our stated purposes.

The Senior Management Team includes 5 people, one of whom is on payroll and the other 4 are either volunteers or paid on a sessional basis at the time of writing this report. The Senior Management Team meet every 4 weeks to plan operations and ensure the smooth running of the charity day-to-day.

We have referred to the guidance contained in the Charity Commission’s general guidance on public benefit when reviewing our aim and objectives and in planning our future activities.
