## **Intro**
The charity was launched during a pandemic which has shaped how we have operated. We had initially intended to work with young people but the need amongst adults for the type of support we are able to offer was clear, so we were able to expand our remit to include people of any age.
The vast majority of sessions have taken place online via videoconferencing applications or by telephone. A small number of sessions have taken place in-person where that has been possible. This has allowed the two members of staff to engage with clients and to provide much-needed support at a most difficult time.
All trustee meetings have been online due to initial restrictions and the subsequent need to avoid unnecessary inperson meetings. We expect a mix of in-person and online meetings to be the norm in future.
As regards public benefit, it is widely acknowledged that people of all ages are suffering from the stresses caused by the pandemic we are still experiencing. We know that the care and support provided so far has made a difference to those with whom we have been working, helping them directly and alleviating the demands on other services.
We anticipate our ways of working being appropriate for the pursuit of our aims in post-pandemic times.
## **Activities & Achievements**
Since the charity was founded, we have been able to support 22 young people mainly in secondary school and sixth form college, or who have just left college, and 6 adults.
This has involved one-to-one sessions with all clients where they have talked with and had the support of our members of staff.

This has helped these clients deal with the pressures of their situations, whether in personal, educational, or work settings, which have been particularly difficult as a result of the pandemic. Many clients have shared that this support was critical in their navigating this period.
## **Future Plans**
We are very pleased to have a productive relationship with the Sixth Form College and that we will be able to provide on-going services to the students. We intend to continue to develop this relationship.
We started the charity in a period of lockdown during a pandemic. As we move out of this, we hope to expand the service to include other settings, including workplaces, where young people are trying to make the transition into adulthood, and where we can also support any other adults who need it.
