2 .0 Current $¢rvic¢s
All our Current activities mainly focused on mental health and the well-being of
individuats in OUT community, inwroving skill4 finance independence, providing advocacy
and support to people struggling to find & purpose in their liv¢s.
Among the services we secured fiJndu)g for in the last fiDancial year 2024125, included
Digital and Social Inclusion for the eEderly. eogaging Volun￿et$, and Tr￿tting our
organisational d¢velopment goals. Tbmugb thes¢ progr8rnmes. our volunteers and some of
the service users were gtven the opportuaity to develop further skills such &$ the use of hand-
held devices to access online service4 and employment opportunities, job placements and
otber skills which also enabled many to build their confidence and knowledge, gain
experienc£ and be able to compete in the labour market more effectively.
We have continued to engage our seTrice users aod volunteers in vaTiOUS activities with the
aim of Improving their lives through skills developmenL and many have considerably
b¢ncfited from skills development programmes such as basic admin and offic£ skills, rr
l¢arneTS suppo¢ updattrAg our website and fundTaising ￿SeaT￿L
The yw 2024125 has been v¢ry challenging as we continue with the stniggle to se¢ure
enough fimding to enable us to meet the nec&8 of our life hardened servic¢s users. We are still
registering a la￿e In￿eaSe in dell￿￿ for suppo¢ and ￿￿etIng such neeAts remains our big
Challenge. However, by the process of getting our organisatioll back on ITack through
resource Mobilisatio￿ we building OUT capacÈty by improving the capacity of volunteers,
a tllove which enables to deliver quality seThices. Despite the lack of paid workers due to
limited tesources, sometbillg wbich skill presents a strong cbailenge as all of our activities are
Currently volunteer lcd.
Our focus now is on diversifying our servic¢s through CT¥*ting so¢ial enterprise schemes as a
way of gFenerating incomc internally and strengthening our capacity to deliver quality services
eff¢ctively. We &re also focussed on rccruiting and traning volunleers Mith the necessary

2.1 Service Delivery Achievement
At Calm Minds-UK. we optrate a drop-in sernice which serv¢s the community with various
support PFogrammes. Some of the progranimes we have been providing, include the Digyjtal
Conned-up Club whicb supported 69 elderly service users to develop access to online and tbe
use of diEit21 handheld devices to ¢oraMuni￿ÉC onlioG with oth¢ts.
As some of those we supported had never wed a computer or h￿-￿eld devices, we applied
for a supply of 60 fre¢ mobilc phones haryjsets, aud 24 tablets from The Good Things
Foundation and we successfully handeAI them oveT to our service users who were trained to
use them. This programme enabled many of those who w¢re struguing to ac¢e&8 M(￿ of the
services wbich were being provided Nia online acce&s only. Such as NHS GP serYi¢4 which

wer¢ moved to online access i)nly during th¢ pandemic and following lockdoivn without any
due care for those with limited digital knowledge. Mally people were finding themselves not
only being denied aecess to such servic¢s. but they are being digitally discriminated.
As part of our programme to Continue with the pandemic recovery activities for the most
vulnetable in our community, we registered additional 178 people in the financial year
2023123 who were stti¥gling with various challenges including those M4]0 lost their loved
ones, those on mental health rehthilitatlo￿ alld others living lollg-terni health
Conditions. The support prograrnme ¢llabled us to make fiLrther referTrls to other
organisations from whdy our service users weie supported With many needs such &s help
with income: bousing. social and mental well-being.
We registered more 123 learn¢rs on our digitsl supp)rt hub: improved our IT systern with 4
more new computers, trained l O skilled volunteers tsom existing service users. and 39 people
were supported iDlo etnployment and further training. The number of participants attending
our monthjy soeial conn¢¢t-up club h&% in¢r¢ased from 17 - 38 who attends our monthly tea
and discussion social club forums.
Digiloi Supporl Hu&Fwided by the Poslcode Lotsery
The aim of our activities has been to break this cycle of d¢privation and cicatc opwrtujjities
for those boldillg their lives back in isolation so that they Lan make infornied choices,
succeed and make positive contributions to their COn￿unItieS and the wider society.
At the end of the Pandemic lockdowi, we launched a social support programme (The
Connect Up Club) with the aim of getting pe4)ple together to cope with the loses caused by

the pandemio 2nd other chall¢llges including tbe loss ofjobs, income crisis as well as
addressiJ]g incidences of Isolatio￿ lon¢line&s, mental health relat¢d coJ]cerns.
The club is sttll supporting many people in the Lommunity thanks to fiJn&s we raised through
Crowd Funding supported by theAVIVA Foundation.
2.2 Lcad¢rship and advocacy skills:
The idvd to forni the organisalion Was on Working with indivÈduaJs sw￿l￿g to find
a purpose in their livw hence helping them to Èdentify and develop their leadership alld
advocacy skills. with emphasis on overcoming the challenges that they face as disadvantag¢d
members of society. our aiLll is to provide them with a wide rdDge of leadership skills which
enables them to explore their potential as well as engage them in peer-tfrpeer advocacy
activities around a wide range of issues contributing towards inftuen¢ing service delivery,
p)licy, and practice.
", We hope our work will continue througb facilitaling alld ¢mpowering our peer advocacy
volunteers to develop projects of their own choice for m.hich we encourd8e them to
successfully apply for funding from a wide range of sources and start projects of th¢ir own
irAteresL This will enable many to gain the necessary experience needed to support their peers
in developing advocacy skllls, developing their own advocacy issue4 expressing IbeD￿1v[
and finding solutions to cbaIlenges that they may be facing in their lives.
2J Our workforce:
Currently> we have I part-ttme nLemEtrs of staff but most of our servi￿$ are largely run by
voKunteers with the support of our trust¢es. The volunteers are involved in a wide range of
activities according to their skilEs and abilities based on well-struethd 4dvo¢aGy and support
work plans. Volunteers are aLtively engaged in various activities which enabled them to
support causes they know kve important to cnriehing thc lives of others in their communitkes.
The value of the services provided by our volunleers is difficult to quantify but it is a￿e
witFLOUt questio￿ that their support through the different activities that they undertake is
extremely vatuable to us &ud remains core to our work. As an organisation. we are th￿y
humbled by the people who come forward to Volunte￿ with us. Our cballeng¢. as ever, is to
