We have grown exponentially and are engaging with clients with more complex needs. Fundraising in 2024/25 allowed us to further expand our reach and add more groups and services. In 2024/25 we welcomed a new Trustee, Susan Margaret Daniells ‘Roxy’ to the Board. Roxy has a wealth of commercial, arts and education experience and has already made a significant contribution. 2024/25 utilised the capacity funded to offer more individual support. This service was provided both by volunteers and a paid worker. The ability to provide daytime support in line with service user needs was well received. We achieved positive results including movements into work, education, appropriate safe housing and improvement in mental and physical health. Service user confidence continues to grow and increase engagement with wider society in line with the strategy. Group meetings continue to see a large increase, demonstrating the need for support for the LGBT+ Community. We continue to deploy the three year strategy accepted by the trustees and service users. This is underpinned by data. Sexual Orientation (Census 21 – South Yorkshire) Gender Identity- Transgender (Census 21 – South Yorkshire) March **2012** **TAR** 5 Section D Achievements and performance 2025/26 once again shows signs of being a challenging year for the LGBTQ+ community. We continue to maintain a strong presence in South Yorkshire and to raise our profile and awareness of the issues faced by the community. We are in discussions with a number of organisations to extend our reach as an organisation committed to making the lives of all LGBTQ+ better.
