Additional Note
Contrlbutlon made by volunteers:
Volunteers have been a huge part of ￿eStablishIng Time Step after the covid shutdowns.
We have a regular group of volunteers who help with everything from basic housekeeping to manning reception, taking
weekly subscriptions. These people are essential to keep Time Step running smoothly.
Moving into our new space at WMA CFC was a huge undertaking and required lots of manual work which was undertaken by
our volunteers. They worked $0 hard during the difficult conditions, they made the difference between reopening
immediately after the pandemic or not
Achievements and Performance
Main Achievements
This financial period has been both challenging and rewarding. With the lockdown period we were unable to provide face to
face sessions which meant that the children and young people were not able to get the benefits of our seroices. During this
tirne we set up Time Step Online to allow people to do sorne dance and exercise at home. We produced exercise videos for
adults as well as instructional and dance videos for children. We did have some Ljptake however there was by this time
quite a bit of lethargy amund using tech for learning so it wasn't as popular as we had hoped for.
Helping to build and Moving into our full time studio in April 2021 was a huge turning point for TSD. It allowed us to provide
more sessions and reach more young people and a wider sertion of the community.
The additional sessions made possible by the new venue saw the number of benefici8ries attending rise by two thirds to
approaching 200 regular attendees. These attendees ranged frotn 18 months to 17 years for the children. Around 600h of
those who filled our monitoring forms reported relying on government benefits as thelr main source of Income. 20¥D
approximately of the children attending were reported as having SEND or other additional needs. Our sessions are kept at 3
low price which means thot people fro￿ lower income5 families who would be les5 oble to attend are able to do so.
The adults attending strucrures sesslons remalned constant at 7.
The new venue also provided a social space for adults where they could chat with other 3dults and receive support as well
a5 a warrn space. Thi5 space helped to combat isolation and lonelines5 in the adult5 attending as they had been separated
from social situations for a prolonged period of time.

Main Achievements- continued
We Saw an 1￿C￿aSe in benefit5 in lot5 Qf areas due to our sessions. Particularly on reopening the￿ wa5 a significant
reduction in the social skills of children, most evident In those under 5 and there was an increase in anxiety in older
children. Through the course of our sessions through April- December 2021 we saw the social skillslsharingi taking turns
and tommunitation skills) impmve drèmatitally and there was a marked reduttion in situational anxiety. We saw the
expected rise in confidence and self esteem through our sessions as well as the expected rise in fine and gross motor skills,
balance and coordination and general flexibility in the children attending se55iOnS.
Additionally our sessions allowed the children to create more friendship bonds and bulld friendshlp groups outslde the
school and home settings.
The Child￿rn were able to attend two community events Whe￿ they perfomed for the general public at the Christmas light

provlde the onllne services. After openlng In April we say an Increase In fees ￿ceiVed due ti the increased numbers
