Achievements and Performance

	SORP reference
Summary of the main 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	As a male mental health charity, senior management has regular consultation sessions with Martin Seager, The founder of the first male group in the British phycology association. Martin advises senior government and conducts research for various organisations. These sessions are vital to the organisation. At the beginning of the year, HiS had a documentary made of the charity, which involved some of the team as well as some of the clients themselves. The support we received from our clients was amazing, considering some started off with no confidence at all, only communicating via text. Watching them blossom is definitely our reward. The outcome of the documentary was rather emotional, with not just HIS’s story, but the journey of our clients and the viewer’s views. Tim’s family were overwhelmed with gratitude for the work HIS Charity does. We were ecstatic to be invited to join the government’s research paper for the APPG, a boy of today. In June, we did a presentation to parliament officials on the charity. Outlining that as a charity, we do HIS: Help information support. Supporting males with their emotional & mental health, ensuring that they thrive, not just survive, not putting a timeline restriction on somebody’s healing, and building a unique care package around their needs. We emphasised how as an organisation, we build a solid system that holds and supports individuals, ensuring they don’t fall through the gap. How calibrating holistic therapy and talking therapy can have a profound positive effect on individuals. MP’s were interested in setting up a pilot scheme for us, as we don’t work in the same format as the NHS.
