Support2achieve ICIOI All our activities are carried out in support of our chaiitable objectrves. Our primary focus is to assist people in transitioning to independent livlng. We collaborate with trusted providers working with people in supported housing to deliver our services. It is cent1 to our ethos and charitable status that we promote and campaign for the wider public benefit of our beneficiaries regardin8 equality aftd citizerkship. We have taken into account the guidance in the Charity Commission's general guidance on Public Benefit when reviewing our aims and objertives and in planning our future activitr"es. In particular, the Trustee5 consider how planned activities will contribute to their aim5 and objectives. Strategles for 2023-24 OursUPPOrtwork..

Developing Support2achSeve'. Continue approaching contscts to attract donation5 to the Charity as we build our reputation. Continue to use the consultant to produce business plan and governance documents, such as policies and procedures. Gather data on the impact of the Charity. As a board of trustees, we are focused on establishing a strong foundation through policies and procedures, while effectively tracking our impact to attract more funding. What we have done Support for indivlduals At the core of our work Is the commitment to support individuals excluded from society. We collaborate with Green Brldge Housing, which manage5 the support workers necessary for this initiative. We have established a service-level agreement with them to ensure the provlsion of adequate support. After conducting an initial needs assessment, we develop a tailored support plan that Includes a variety of activities aimed at helping individuals progress and engage with malnstream society. Our ulhmate goal is to assist people in moving into independent housing while also encouraging their involvement in full-time education or employment. For those who are ready, we focus on enhancing their employability by assisting with CV writing, Identifylng any nece55arv training, and providing support in their job search.
Support2achieve {ClOI Initially, however. our primary aim is to help individuals avoid homelessness and address their complex challenges, such as mental or physical health issues, as well as soclal difficulties like drug addiction or a criminal background. To achieve this, we offer activities and support designed to help them stay drug-free and dllce the risk of offending. For most individuals, our support begins with addressing baslc needs. We 3551st them registering with a GP and accompany them to the practice so they can familiarise themselves with the location and gain confidence in attending appointments. We also help them understand public tfansportation and navigate to vaTiOUS destinations. Many of the individuals we support are refugees Wtth limited or no English skills, so we assist them in accessing ESOL (English for Speakers of Other Languages) training. Our support work includes helping some of the most challenged individuals gain confidence in Social or official situations. As they develop their skills, we aim to help them broaden their horizons and instil a belief in their potential to succeed. We have supported a refugee who has experienced 518niftcant trauma and has PTSD and long-standing mental health issue5. As a result. he struggle5 to cope in shared accommodation. Initially, he had difficulty managing his bills, $0 we advocated for him to obtain a debt relief order. As5istin8 him with his debt issues helped him regain control over his finances and begin to pay off his debts. We have also helped him develop the skills necessary for independent living. To prepare individuals for independent living. we work with them on budgeting and money management. Many do not undefstand credit cards and interest, which can lead to debt. Additionally, we have increased our focus on protecting people from online scams. In Sheffield, as individuals progress. we help them register with the Sheffield Cty Council Property Shop, enabling them to secure their homes. Our support workers closely track the progre55 of those we assist by implementing personalised support plans based on their needs. Thi5 process includes weekty meetings that foster trust and allow individuals to share their concerns. Many find these meetings a vital opportunity to communicate with someone they can trust. Our assistance is tailored to meet the indiviijual needs of those we support. For instance, one person unfortunate suffered a signwficant brain injury after being hit by a car. This injury led to dangerous behaviour, as he became less inhibited,. for example, he set fire to paper in his kitchen, not realising the danger involved. Despite having been in the hospital, he did not receive any follow-up 5UPPOrt for his brain injury. In fesponse, the support worker worked very hard to secure the appropriate referra15 for a5Si5tance. As a result, he has now moved into a fully adapted bungalow wf(h the SUPPOrt he requires. This process took considerable effort and has transformed this indtvidual's life. We encourage and support individuals in pursuing their hobbies and interests, particularly in sports, while also ¢onsi(lerin8 how these activttres can help with gaining employment. For example, one person who had been a semi-pro boxer is now enrolled in a security course to enhance his job prospects. We also promote entrepreneurial endeavours,. one indivldual we supported has started a cleaning business, and Greenbridge, our partner in providing support, ha5 become one of his first clients. We offer extensive support, encouragement, opportunities to practise essential skills. such as English. Our strate6y focuses on building confidence and helping individuals achieve their goals more quickly. A powerful example of thi5
Support2achleve (CIO) approach is a refugee who. despite facing challenges with mental health and limited English proficncy, gained the confidence and skills necessary to secure a job in London with our support. We encourage and support the people we work wrth to get involved in their local communities, including caring for the environment through activthes such as litter picking.
