2.2 Our Mission

To bring Christian fellowship, social inclusion, advocacy, skills and opportunities to people with additional needs, their families and communities within the Forest of Dean and beyond.

2.3 Our Vision

Christian, empowering, compassionate, inclusion for all.

3 Delivering for the Public Benefit – Projects

3.1 Giving Voice

The Giving Voice programme was the first grant funded programme that The Shalom Network put in place following its establishment as a registered charity. The aim is very clear, that is to give those that are unable to speak, or have very limited verbal speech, a voice. Having no verbal speech increases the frustration of those with additional needs and their supporters. Giving Voice opens a whole world of opportunity through conversations previously thought unlikely even impossible. It relieves pressure in the everyday lives of those with no spoken communication and other additional needs.

3.1.1 What We Have Achieved

This year has been incredibly rewarding as we walk alongside the individuals we work with, their families, and support workers. The challenges we face inspire us to unite as a team, striving to discover motivational activities that encourage, empower, and support our clients’ communication development and needs.

3.1.2 Constraining Factors

As previously reported the turnover of staff working with those in a supported living / residential environment poses challenges for our team going into these settings. Those we seek to benefit have not progressed as well in these circumstances as others benefiting from consistency in their support team.

The shortfall in digital skills and experience amongst some carers is also a factor given that many of our strategies and techniques have technology as a key enabler. This limits the amount of time and opportunities, outside of the time spent with than the Shalom team, that some have to communicate with those around them. We can at times have to deal with scepticism and in some cases rejection of our methods and the way that we use digital technology to deliver proven results.

3.1.3 In Summary

The Shalom Network has successfully blended well established principles with a number of innovative measures, particularly in the use of technology. Time with the individuals and groups we serve has evidenced that they are capable of developing higher levels of interaction and communication than first recognised, and that not only are they able in many respects proactive, but they also show an appetite and confidence to learn how to use technology.

We have had to be highly adaptive and flexible; individual clients develop their own varied ways of using devices and techniques. As we engage with more people who have limited or no speech capability, we see a variety of, and in some cases innovative, approaches to the learning strategies and resources provided to provide communication capability. One of the key measures of success is to see independent choices made or in some cases spontaneously.

3.1.4 Next Steps

Going forward, means of developing the skills and experience within the support networks will be crucial, to increase the potential benefit and further give voice to those who need one. The opportunities to communicate have to be available outside of the time that we are with them. This is a wide ranging and potentially complex challenge that may in itself demand the creation of a new funded project. To engage all those needed within the support network and

Page 7 of 22 The Shalom Network Report of the Trustees 2023 Version Final

to help that engagement to be sustained we will need to create new materials, develop methods and introduce additional skilled resource to achieve this, something that we may be able to start in 2024, but will undoubtedly run for some time.

Another area to address and potentially drive the need for another project is to capture the potential that exists through working with those having communication difficulties from an early age. Our thoughts and fact finding in this area are still very much in the early stages, but will be given more consideration over the coming year.

3.2 Digital Inclusion & Accessibility

The Shalom Network, with its commitment to challenge social exclusion, operates a programme which seeks to help ensure that those we serve can benefit through appropriate and safe use of digital technology. We recognise that individuals with additional needs are more vulnerable to online risks and that the digital world we now live in needs careful navigating.

3.2.1 What We Have Achieved

Page 8 of 22

The Shalom Network Report of the Trustees 2023

Version Final

3.2.2 Constraining Factors

Some of The Shalom team members themselves have disabilities and health issues requiring ongoing treatment. We have experienced delays in delivering some aspects of this programme due to the project lead having to take sick leave.

There are also limitations with some of those we are trying to serve living in managed care environments. They may not have adequate broadband access, or access may only be in a communal area. Devices that they use are often owned by the care provider who will not allow the equipment off site.

3.2.3 Next Steps

Many of the planned actions for 2022 needed to be carried over into early 2023. However specific coaching and awareness sessions were scheduled.

The Shalom Network is taking steps to partner with other organisations that serve those with additional needs. This will increase attendance leading to increasing the scale of the work. It may also lead to greater availability of equipment and suitable locations with, for example, those with adequate broadband and that are accessible via public transport.

Recruitment of appropriately skilled and experienced people for volunteer or potentially even paid roles to ensure continued growth and improvement in these activities is a priority.

3.3 Dementia Awareness Pilot Project

The origins of this project pre-date the creation of The Shalom Network as it is incorporated today. However, it has been taken into the portfolio of projects due to the high incidence of early onset dementia in people with Down Syndrome and we aim to help people to understand the condition and the symptoms with the aim of them being able to make better lifestyle choices, helping them to reduce the risks of developing dementia early on.

Networking with other likeminded organisations is currently happening to see if there is the opportunity to work together in partnership to reshape this project into something that can involve a wider group of people and have a wider county reach (Gloucestershire).

Version Final

3.3.1 What We Have Achieved

3.3.2 Constraining Factors

We are now we are looking to reconfigure how this project can be reshaped and how we can partner with other likeminded organisations in the area.

3.3.3 Next Steps

We aim to further build relationships with other organisations that have a similar focus working collaboratively to develop a fresh funding application that will better meet the aims of the project.

3.4 Brighter Lives

The Brighter Lives Project, funded by the Benefact Trust, has been launched to help and encourage those that we serve, work and volunteer with us to take a positive approach to their mental, physical and spiritual health. It aims to demonstrate the link between all of these elements and that the resilience needed to flourish in our world and live brighter lives can be developed through some simple routines and good habits.

The activities are based on the following principles and are often placed in the context of ‘stress and you’:

By focusing on these principles, we are introducing the concept that community is also a vital contributor to good health and brighter lives.

The Shalom Network Report of the Trustees 2023

Version Final

3.4.1 What We Have Achieved

3.4.2 Constraining Factors

Many of those that we serve have significant health issues, therefore as with many of our activities we need to adapt to the diverse needs and abilities. It can be difficult to manage expectations positively and ensure that frustration does not arise. As we develop our wider activities to include these principles on a permanent basis, we do so with the clear objective of creating the resilience to support brighter lives not the means to train elite athletes.

3.4.3 Next Steps

This project effectively ended with the year, however as previously mentioned the principles are now enshrined for all within our wider activities.

4 Delivering for the Public Benefit – Group Sessions

4.1 Shalom Online

Shalom Online continues to develop and grow with wider participation by those we serve and with the volunteer team in delivering the sessions. We continue to meet online weekly 3 to 4 weeks of the month. This meeting takes place on Zoom with an average of 15 people in attendance. Continuous support is given to ensure as many people as possible have access to these online gatherings. Shalom Online is a meeting where people with and without additional needs can explore the Christian faith and ask questions in a safe and relaxed space.

4.1.1 What we Achieved

4.1.2 Constraining Factors

We are still finding that despite time spent counselling and coaching there are many people who lack confidence and have limitations in their digital capabilities. This means that we are limited in some respects in terms of what we can deliver. However, we are committed to making sure that even the smallest steps are valued and built upon although there is no avoiding the frustration that we feel when there are those that would like to join but simply do not have online access or support to connect online. We continue to chip away at this obstacle as well as helping support staff, as often they are themselves not digitally skilled.

4.1.3 Next Steps

We are undeterred and will continue on the path of developing our wider digital media skills and those that we work with, whether they are beneficiaries, their families, friends, or supporters.

4.2 Shalom Groups

There are regular group gatherings open to everyone. which include a fortnightly group in the Cinderford area and a monthly group who meet in different venues, Broadwell near Coleford and in Bream near Lydney.

These are times when people can come together, chat, eat, and join in a time of worship, prayer, and Christian teaching and a craft activity. The groups are safe spaces to explore the Christian faith with questions and shared experience.

The regular monthly Get-Togethers are open to everyone, we meet on the 1[st] Thursday of a month (except August) at suitable venues in the area. Particular attention is given to the location of any venue as most attendees are dependent on public transport or the availability of volunteers and taxis to provide transportation.

We also continue to support Christian Church leaders to find suitable resources to use with people within their congregations who have additional needs.

4.2.1 What we Have Achieved

4.2.2 Constraining Factors

We anticipate that as a core funded activity the group activities will always face financial challenges limiting what can be provided in terms of materials, equipment and paid resource. There is a greater availability of grant funding for projects rather than core activities.

4.2.3 Next Steps

We plan to develop these meeting times and use more digital media in their content and presentations. Some of this will be content which has been created in house as part of our digital inclusion agenda.

Page 13 of 22 The Shalom Network Report of the Trustees 2023

Version Final

Venues and locations will be reviewed with the teams and attendees from both Cinderford and Broadwell. We will look to create greater synergies between the two groups and come together as one more often. We hope that the two groups will be able to work collaboratively in the future to develop relationships across the groups.

There is potential for two new Shalom groups to be planted within the Newent and Lydney areas, however the planning for this is currently being evaluated and will depend on the correct resourcing and team to be in place.

4.3 Events

4.3.1 What we Have Achieved

4.3.2 Constraining Factors

Organising events for even a low number of people with modest activities is very labour intensive. We need more people to be able to put on more of these events.

Finding suitable locations is often an issue with the availability of transportation and cost of hire as well as the provision of suitable facilities often dictating where the events can be held. The availability and accessibility of venues can also be a constraint as to where we can hold an event.

4.3.3 Next Steps

We are looking to develop more opportunities to have a wider variety of both one off and regular events. They should give opportunity to meet in different ways, not only to those directly involved with The Shalom Network, but also to include the wider public.

The production of engaging content and the delivery of it in memorable ways are likely to drive further initiatives to partner with other likeminded organisations.

5 Delivering for the Public Benefit – Advocacy

5.1 In Community

Demands for our advocacy support have reduced in this reporting period to the point that we are no longer engaging a paid advocate.

Reasons for this are not entirely clear, however the feeling is that there is likely to be sufficient support from other sources such as family, church groups and other support organisations. We would only ever agree to act as advocates with those who are engaged in other activities that The Shalom Network provide.

5.1.1 What we Have Achieved

5.1.2 Constraining Factors

Advocacy often demands a response to wide range of issues that are sometimes complex with added challenges for those with additional needs, therefore our approach is measured, often referring individuals to other organisations or agencies.

The work is mostly one to one and involves very time-consuming activities, therefore there is constant pressure on both our financial and people resources.

Measuring the effectiveness of advocacy work is extremely difficult, therefore we are mainly dependent on subjective and often anecdotal reports as to the effectiveness of our actions.

5.1.3 Next Steps

Our position in terms of advocacy work will be reviewed in 2024 with careful consideration of need and whether we are best positioned to provide benefits on a formal advocacy basis.

6 The Team

6.1 Paid Professional Resource

The Shalom Network employs paid professional project leads on a freelance basis. They deliver according to accepted quotations for work agreed by the board or a group of trustees such as the Finance Committee. Those agreements are made at the inception of a particular project and then regularly reviewed, as is the case with core non project assignments such as the Shalom Group activities and events.

Three freelance professionals have been engaged 1-3 days per week each, however this has reduced to two in the latter half of the year. Due to their extensive experience, specific skills and proven track records they are regularly engaged by other organisations. Good communication ensures effective time management and the involvement with the wider support community is beneficial in terms of networking and information gathering.

As is the case for all team members actively working with The Shalom Network they have been vetted and subject to DBS checks. They are performance managed in line with The Shalom Network policies and procedures with regular reviews and field accompaniment is carried out by one or more trustees.

Funding a deeper and wider pool of available professionals has been and will continue to be a priority and significant challenge for The Shalom Network.

6.2 Voluntary Help

The team of regular volunteers comprises a very low number of incredibly committed people. They typically support the group activities and events. Regular volunteers are required to sign a volunteer agreement and are provided with a volunteer handbook that is regularly reviewed and updated.

The Shalom Network acknowledges a need to prioritise the recruitment and training of more committed volunteers.

6.3 Board of Trustees

At the beginning of this reporting period there were 6 trustees, during the period 1 resigned and no new trustees have been adopted. Seeking a suitable candidate has not been considered a priority, however it will move towards the top of the agenda in 2024. At the AGM the chair of trustees advised that he would step down as chair as of the 2024 AGM, but would be willing to continue in a volunteer, trustee capacity or both as agreed with the other trustees. The treasurer also advised that she will be resigning her role at the same time.

Page 16 of 22 The Shalom Network Report of the Trustees 2023

Version Final

6.4 Advisers

Except for a volunteer Treasurer with experience in charity finance, The Shalom Network has no other permanent advisers. We do however have the occasional volunteer services of the Chief Executive Officer of a public limited company. This person has acted as the independent reviewer of our accounts, however he has advised that he will not be able to help beyond the review of the 2023 finances.

Page 17 of 22

The Shalom Network Report of the Trustees 2023

Version Final

7. Funding

7.1 Grants Provided

The Shalom Network is dependent on grant funding to support many of its activities. We are fortunate in 2023 to have been awarded grants from:

7.2 Donations

The Shalom Network has been fortunate to have received numerous unrestricted one-off donations including from a sponsored a walk completed by a member of our local Forest of Dean Christian community. These amounted to a significant figure that exceeded all expectations.

This and other modest donations have contributed towards core funded activities. However, these activities may be at risk in the future should more consistent funding streams fail to be established. This is a concern in that we have little in the way of commitment to regular donations and this is an important focus of our fund-raising team.

There are plans for events in the future including some that take a crowd funding approach, others will be sponsored activities and direct appeals to sympathetic organisations such as local churches and their members. In person presentations and appeals were made to 3 local churches during the year.

The Shalom Network

8 Governance & Management

8.1 Statutory Meetings

A board of trustees meeting is held bimonthly as is the Finance Committee meeting. The annual general meeting is on or around the anniversary of Charity Commission registration.

8.2 Reporting Periods

The Shalom Network will submit reports to the Charity Commission covering a 12 month period consistent with the calendar year. There are currently no other statutory requirements.

8.3 Risk Management

Risk management is clear in the principles and procedures that support our policies, and we ensure they are implemented. Risk assessments are always carried out as required and the results recorded and stored securely in our Microsoft Teams/Sharepoint.

Assessments are appropriately actioned and steps to mitigate to reduce the risk to an acceptable level. Should this not be possible a decision is made not to start or to cease activities. Risk assessments are appropriately actioned to ensure that environments are safe for those attending activities and events, any activity event deemed to be unsafe would not be viable and therefore would not run. Risk assessments are updated as required to ensure careful planning.

Those responsible for carrying out and actioning risk assessments are regularly assessed for and updated on our procedures and requirements.

8.4 Policies & Procedures

The Shalom Network has and maintains carefully crafted procedures that are appropriate for an organisation of our size and sphere of operations. Summaries of these policies are - - published on our website https://theshalomnetwork.org.uk/our policies purposes/

These policies are reviewed annually as a minimum or when circumstances dictate. Reviews and amendments are agreed and signed off by the board of trustees and any accountable manager who may not be a trustee.

Page 19 of 22 The Shalom Network Report of the Trustees 2023

Version Final

8.5 Designated Managers/Officers

Each policy area has a designated manager who is responsible for ensuring that policies are implemented and for identifying and actioning opportunities for improvement and managing any breeches or reportable incidents.

8.6 Partner Organisations

The Shalom Network does not have any formal partnership or joint venture agreements with any other organisations. We do however, regularly work with or seek assistance from local churches of all denominations.

We also work with other local charitable organisations, examples include Forest Pulse, Forest Volunteer Action Forum (FVAF), and Viney Hill Christian Adventure Centre and in the case of the latter we have operated under a formal reciprocal agreement in 2023.

Version Final

9 Future Opportunities & Challenges

In previous sections which report on our project activities we have highlighted many areas where we can launch new initiatives and improve on our current delivery. Most importantly we will focus on:

Projects for 2024 include:

Working with providers of residential support to work out ways in which people in receipt of their support can better manage and gain benefit from digital technology and services.

Growing the skill base to use readily available technology in ways that will enhance the Shalom Online offering and widen the appreciation of the Gospel message in relevant and meaningful ways.

The development and delivery of any further activities is wholly dependent on recruiting additional people to work with us, particularly volunteers. As part of a future campaign to increase public awareness there will be an emphasis on the need for more volunteers.

We are still a relatively young charity and conscious of still not being well known, even locally. Discussions with third parties have taken place with a view to growing and improving our public profile. Whilst this is likely to be a development of our online and social media presence in person presentations and local events will continue to be priorities. They have

Page 21 of 22 The Shalom Network Report of the Trustees 2023

Version Final

the benefit of being inclusive, something that the whole team and the people that we serve can all be involved in.

The Shalom Network welcomes wider involvement with other organisations, whose purposes align with our own, to collaboratively produce opportunities that lead to positive outcomes. We will continue to form more working relationships in the future whilst building on those that are already established.
