| • StricklandHousing • TACT Traininq TACT was founded in order to provide support for those in recovery from addiction and substance mis-use. It was recognised that most cases of addiction, if not all, stem from childhood trauma leading to mental ill- health. In 2017 the Clinical Commissioning Team tendered for a Mental Health hub to provide support for service-users seeking help for short-term conditions, such as grief and loss, or waiting for Clinical Counselling services (3-6 month waiting list at that time). TACT won the tender and the resulting services were commissioned under the banner of ‘Branches’. Hence services under TACT cover addiction and dual-diagnosis, whereas others under Branches cover mental ill-health. |

(In all client cases the referrers are updated regularly and informed of any significant changes in circumstances with clients along with any referrals made by staff to other organisations).
Listening Service
The Listening Service is primarily aimed at supporting individuals experiencing situational Anxiety, Depression and/or Anguish in structured sessions. The service performance is evidenced by the GAD-7 and PHQ-9 outcomes, done on the first and last session.
There have been three student Counsellor placements over the course of the year and two part time paid members of staff delivering this support intervention.
At year end there is 7 clients on the waiting list, and 22 clients currently receiving sessions. There was a total of 115 referrals made into the service over the course of the year. They were as follows:
| Referrer | NumberofClients |
|---|---|

* The number of sessions offered dropped due to staff absence in Q3.
- The number of sessions increased in Q4 because of overtime and an additional student joining the team. This was a purposeful decision to keep the waiting list as low as possible. This data has not been kept in previous quarters, the exception being q4. This will be rectified going forwards.

| Female 40yrs | 25/19 | 23/16 |
| Male 57yrs | 22/13 | 15/9 |
The Listening Service continues to have consistent positive results evidenced by the GAD-7 and PHQ-9 outcomes. The introduction of text message appointment reminders will hopefully bring down the number of missed appointments.
Strickland Housing
After a rocky start to the year with extensive works being carried out on two of the properties, we are now close to becoming a registered provider. We have ended the year with 6 properties and 18 residents.
We have been successful in recruiting to the Housing Manager post and the successful candidate has some 10 years’ experience working within the sector in Telford and has already become an integral part of the team here at TACT.
The Recovery Programme offer has been improved with more structure added, and we end the year with five successful completions and Move-On’s. With the exception of the Housing Manager the three paid support staff have all have lived experience and were volunteers prior to gaining this employment.
Training and Education
This year has seen an expansion on the normal training we offer. This was imperative due to course duplication in Telford. The delivery of our new Basics in Computing proved to be successful and very much needed. Training offered has also included Basic Maths & English, Level 2 Mentoring, Level 2 Food Safety, Safeguarding, Boundaries and the Level 2 in Counselling. We are also hopeful that we will be successful in certifying the Addiction Recovery Training with our provider to get this up and running again. Sadly, Learn Telford have stopped delivering this.
Outreach/Calm Café
This is the provision of Calm Cafes at both TACT and ABT which are facilitated by staff from both organisations, Mind, and Telford and Wrekin Council. Access is via a referral basis only for individuals who are having difficulties with their mental health but also have a dual diagnosis and find it harder to engage with services via the usual route. The Outreach service provides a up to 5 sessions or home visits to those unable to leave their homes due to either mobility, anxiety, or poor mental health/addiction issues with the view to encouragement to access other services for support. This year’s Outreach has seen:
56 - referrals in
174- other/additional support given (other support includes text, email, accompanying to groups, social service appointments, CAB, probation, hospital, food parcel collection/drop off. This figure only includes two quarters as data has not been kept consistently across all four quarter. This will be rectified going forwards.
Stars Post Treatment Support
The Post Treatment support provides ongoing recovery support calls to individuals who have been discharged from treatment by Stars for up to a period of 5 years.
In the fourth quarter there has been a key change to this provision. TACT’s engagement lead is now attending the last appointment alongside the stars worker where agreed. There are 4 individuals still engaging with support.

The Future
In the coming year we will continue to focus on our service and group delivery alongside ensuring that Lived experience is represented at strategic levels and service visibility continues to increase. We will also be prioritising bid applications for our training room build and hopefully we will be successful in attracting external funding to allow our mental health outreach to begin again. We will be completing registered provider status and looking to increase our housing stock.
All our services, support provided, and advice given is delivered by people recovering from addictions & mental health issues or with personal knowledge of them. At TACT and Branches we aim to improve the lives of others through mutual aid, compassion, and empathy and offer people a recovery route which is
obtainable and achievable.
(Throughout the development of these services & support client satisfaction and feedback is included in the monitoring and evaluation of the services we provide)

Independent Examiner’s Report to the Trustees of Telford After Care Team (TACT) CIO
I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the charity for the year ended 31 March 2024 which are set out on pages 4 to 10.
Responsibilities and basis of report
As the charity’s trustees 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 charity’s accounts carried out under section 145 of the Act and 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 charity’s gross income exceeded £250,000 your examiner must be a member of a body listed in section 145 of the Act. I confirm that I am qualified to undertake the examination because I am a member of The Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales, 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:
-
Accounting records were not kept in respect of the charity as required by section 130 of the Act; or
-
The accounts do not accord with those records; or
-
The accounts do not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations2008 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.
