## **Achievements and performance**
Create Strength Group (CSG) has continued the promising trajectory of the preceding year showing positive growth and strong potential development opportunities. 2023 was our first year as part of treatment services and memorable also for completing our first commissioned service year successfully.
The year ended with a compliment of 4 full-time staff and 7 contracted sessional workers supporting development and delivery. In addition we have introduced the CSG Recovery Academy, a volunteer plus scheme that supports associates into work by providing supported introduction into paid employment with CSG in meaningful roles below the threshold of universal credit rules.
As a project-based organisation, CSG executed 9 projects with the administration of a further 3 schemes allied to core funds in 2023. With projects ranging from mental health to adversity & trauma and nitrous oxide to lived experience; CSG is tackling a wide range of underlying issues contributing to and affecting causation within our cohort.
Our core **support networks** of face-to-face (f2f) online, physical and hybrid meetings were complemented by offering one-to-one (1-2-1) appointments both online and f2f in our dedicated room at 29 Salem Street. This was enhanced by the addition of a contractor trauma therapist and facilitator dedicating 2 days per week to CSG delivery.
## **2023 Milestones include:**
- l Exceeding the hosting of 1,440 support meetings since our formation
- l The execution of our first year delivering as part of statutory treatment
- l The execution of our first year delivering a Local Authority commission
- l Increasing membership to 596
- l Attracting 116 newcomers in the period
- l Achieving 2,264 instances of attendances in 2023
- l Offering 142 1-2-1 sessions to 25 individuals
- l Increasing income by 210%
- l Reducing expenditure to 58.9% of income
- l Increasing workforce to 4 x full-time and 7 x part-time
- l Maintaining 100% Lived Experience (LE) workforce
- l Increasing the engagement rate of women into our support network to 38%
Ongoing **facilitation training development** is a vital part to our expansion plans. In 2023 we ran 2 facilitation courses for associates with 5 associates and 1 staff member completing training, with 1 associate going on to deliver a popular weekly meeting with good traction and engagement.
## **Projects**
As a project-based organisation, CSG executed 9 projects with the administration of a further 3 schemes allied to core funds in 2023. With projects ranging from mental health to adversity & trauma and nitrous oxide to lived experience, CSG is tackling a wide range of underlying issues contributing to and affecting causation within our cohort.
- l **Bradford Alcohol & Drug Treatment Service - New Vision Bradford (NVB)**
Awarded through Bradford Metropolitan District Council’s (BMDC) Public Health (PH) commissioning team, NVB is a partnership led by Humankind as the contract holder and 3 local subcontractor charities - The Bridge Project, Project 6 and ourselves. The contract has the potential to run for a duration of 10 years and puts CSG at the heart of the treatment sector.

## Create Strength Group CIO
## Trustees' report (continued) for the year ended 31 December 2023
- l **Lived Experience Evaluation Project Commission (LEEP)**
LEEP is a Bradford District Metropolitan Council (BDMC) commission to seek the views of those with lived experience (LE) of addiction in the Bradford district. This project is being executed using 2 main vehicles of an online questionnaire conducted by volunteers with LE and by self-referrals and an LE forum that meets monthly to listen to views and comments in the presence of representatives from the treatment sector.
This is CSG’s first experience with a commissioned service and we are keen to shine in its execution. In addition this positions CSG’s role within the NVB consortium as the main service user representative which is a key part of the contract in terms of both representation and co-design. Recommendations and insights were provided that will feed into the treatment sector plans for delivery.
The project completed its first year in December 2023 with good feedback from participants and commissioners, the contract has been extended a further year with much planned for future developments.
## l **Nitrous Oxide Commission**
In early lockdown, CSG were asked to investigate the use of nitrous oxide (N2O) by BDMC councillors who we had working relationships with and local community groups. We developed a mapping and scoping exercise to map disposal sites of N2O canister disposal across the district.
This in turn led to a commission to produce an awareness campaign including the development of a reporting app. Again this is an example of CSG being chosen to develop innovative solutions to contemporary issues around substance use. We are building up an increasing expertise with the development of mobile applications in the substance use field.
- l **CSG Mental Health Project (CHMH)**
CSG has a long tradition of running mental health projects with a specialism in mental health workshops and walk & talk events. We ran 2 projects in 2023. Both projects had the provision to taxi associates to and from walk & talk locations and provide a packed lunch.
## l **Suicide Prevention Project 2023 (SPP)**
In January 2023 we took advantage of some funding available from BDMC and developed a project around suicide prevention. Incorporating strengths learned from other projects, such as the therapeutic value of walk and talks we contracted in some specialist suicide prevention training for our staff, volunteers, and associates. This has radically changed the way as a group we handle the subject. The confidence to address such issues has led us to consider developing our own training as an offering alongside our substance awareness courses.
## l **Adverse Childhood Experiences, Trauma & Resilience (ATR) Grant**
In June 2023 CSG has been awarded a grant to investigate and deliver reporting and consultation on:
- Community Awareness Raising Community Insight,
- Awareness Raising Campaign,
- Safe Spaces provision.
This project feeds directly from CSG’s ability to research, design and execute project-led solutions in a short lifecycle under a limited budget. This project runs until February 2024 and compliments our core specialisms.
## l **National Lottery (NLRC) Foundation Project**
The NLRC Project remains our core driver and will remain so until July of 2024. It is closely allied to our Development Plan that was designed to lead us through the first 3-years of charity status in order to build a strong foundation to grow and further develop. In addition to funding 2 full-time posts, the NLRC Foundation Project also funds our sessional workers and the Recovery Academy.
Performance is monitored by progress meetings annually and a set of KPIs jointly agreed during the application process.

- l **Programmes & Schemes (funded through projects)**
- Allied to some CSG projects are 3 schemes that support our charity objects in innovative and mutually beneficial ways. In addition to developing associates and volunteers we are also supporting our local communities, raising CSG’s profile and reputation and benefiting our organisation directly.
- l **Gym Buddying Scheme**
- As part of MH23/24 we fund 3 x 3-month gym passes to associates. In addition we provide a qualified personal trainer who is also a peer with LE to accompany and train the participants.
## l **CSG Recovery Academy**
- A volunteer plus scheme that supports associates into work by providing supported introduction into paid employment with CSG in meaningful roles below the threshold of universal credit rules.
## l **CSG Internship Programme**
- A University of Bradford intern assisted us with programme delivery on the ATR project.
## l **Development Overview**
CSG have developed into a project-led organisation incorporating an ADPE (Analysis, Design, Production, and Evaluation) methodology. This allows us the flexibility to bid for grants and awards and then rapidly develop recovery solutions.
## **Financial review**
The net income for the year was £164,866, including net income of £117,096 on unrestricted funds and net income of £47,770 on restricted funds.
## **Reserves policy**
The charity's free reserves, excluding fixed assets, at the year end were £124,635.
The charity aims to hold a Reserves Balance made up of unrestricted funds to cover potential risks and opportunities that have been identified by the Board of Trustees and in accordance to the Charity’s constitution.
- 1 If project funding reduces or ceased during the forthcoming year we aim to have sufficient reserves available to cover up to 3 months staff costs and rent plus a contingency for redundancy costs. Based on our 2024 forecast we estimate the liability to be approximately £60k.
- 2 Where there are additional project costs, those costs not provided for in the agreed project budget, which are essential to delivering the agreed objectives of the project.
- 3 We receive contract income for some projects which is accounted for in accordance with the Charities SORP. As a result, the funds are spread evenly over the term of the contract. The spend associated with these projects is not linear, therefore the reserves balance includes an element committed to future project expenditure. Estimated value carried forward to 2024 is £38k.
- 4 When there are surplus reserves over and above our monthly working capital requirements, we intend to invest this in instant access savings accounts up to a maximum of £85k per account.
- 5 In the future we intend to use surplus reserves to purchase premises for the charity. The premises will accommodate staff and provide residential supported housing for our associates in recovery to support our community.

## Independent examiner's report to the trustees of Create Strength Group CIO
I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the CIO for the year ended 31 December 2023, which are set out on pages 8 to 14.
## **Responsibilities and basis of report**
As the charity trustees of the CIO you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 ('the Act').
I report in respect of my examination of the CIO's accounts as carried out under section 145 of the 2011 Act. In carrying out my examination I have followed all the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act.
## **Independent examiner's statement**
Since the CIO's gross income exceeded £250,000 your examiner must be a fellow of a body listed in section 145 of the 2011 Act.
I confirm that I am qualified to undertake the examination because I am a fellow of ICAEW which is one of the listed bodies.
I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect:
- 1 accounting records were not kept in respect of the charity as required by section 130 of the Charities Act; 2 the accounts do not accord with those records; or
- 3 the accounts do not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 other than any requirement that the accounts give a 'true and fair view' which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination.
I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
