## **Intro** 

The charity was launched during a pandemic which shaped how we operate. Initially we intended to work solely with young people but the need amongst adults for the type of support we can offer was clear, so we were able to expand our remit to include people of any age. 

The majority of sessions continue to take place online via videoconferencing applications or by telephone. A small number of sessions have taken place in-person where that has been requested and possible. This has allowed the two members of staff to engage with clients and to provide much-needed support at a difficult time. 

All but one of the trustee meetings have been online due to initial restrictions and the subsequent need to avoid unnecessary in-person meetings. We expect a combination of mostly online and occasional in-person meetings to be the norm. 

As regards public benefit, it is widely acknowledged that people of all ages are still suffering from the stresses caused by the pandemic. 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** 

Over the past year we have been able to support 16 young people, mainly in secondary school and sixth form college, or who have just left college, and 10 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 continue to have a productive working relationship with the Sixth Form College and that we will be able to provide on-going services to the students. 

We also mentor/coach a number of adults. This tends to be over a longer period than the students which are typically supported for six sessions before a review takes place.
