## **Dear Readers**
We present our Charity – ‘More Horizons’ second Annual report for the year 20232024. From the time we established our Charity, we have successfully reached to hundreds of people in the community with our innovative culturally tailored programmes making differences to the lives we connected with. We believe that collectively and in partnership with our dedicated partner organisations and representatives, we can make further difference to improve health and wellbeing outcomes in the population to build stronger more resilient communities. The effects of the pandemic are still visible in various forms on physical and mental health which has changed the way we live, how we behave further raising the importance of being healthy and looking after ourselves and our communities.
Over the past year, we continued the delivery of our successful innovative ‘ **IN-CONTROL Programme** – providing tri-fold benefits to the participants using Motivation-Nutrition- Mindfulness’ techniques to better their health and wellbeing. The programmes considered the community’s needs in mind with due regard to the cultural aspects to ensure we maximise the impact of our programmes on the community and empower them for a better future and have a sustainable impact.
We thrive on our partnerships and want to thank all our partners including statutory, voluntary organisations as well as the Local Authority partners and to our amazing volunteers who have been immensely helpful in furthering our cause to reach out to the communities in need especially those impacted by health inequalities. We are grateful to the Heart of Bucks Community Foundation who provided grant to deliver our IN-CONTROL programmes making a benevolent contribution to improving population health and supporting our mission in a compassionate and caring way.
We plan to continue our work by delivering more innovative programmes and developing stronger partnerships to achieve our goals, ambition and our mission.
Thank you from the bottom of our hearts **Trustees of More Horizons**

More Horizons charity is established to support individuals and communities to enable them to make conscious lifestyle changes that will help them to maintain and improve their health and wellbeing. The Charity also supports the creative side via innovative programmes to make a positive impact on the community as well as the society at large.
The Charity was set up following the significant impact of the COVID-19 global pandemic on the population at large, mainly to enable and support those affected to revive and for resilience. We thrive on the rich assets of the community we serve and we provide innovative programmes that empower the community.

Our ethos is to be – Caring; Committed; Compassionate; Dedicated; Inspired; Inclusive; Innovative.
Our partnerships developed with various local and voluntary organisations are a blessing to support our communities through collective energy and spirit to have the required impact supported by our volunteers.
The key pillars of our strategy are:
- Community centred-approaches to ensure programmes address the needs;
- Co-designing innovative and impactful programmes to have a positive impact on life, health and well-being;
- Focus on addressing health inequalities;
- Designing tailor made programmes for marginalised communities that are affected due to deprivation including people from the BAME (Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic) communities;
- Continuous learning.
Over 2023-2024, we continued delivery of our innovative:
1. **IN-CONTROL Programme** – To improve physical and mental wellbeing holistically in communities experiencing health inequalities via Motivational techniques, Nutrition guidance and Mindfulness.

Annual report 2023-2024
## **4.2 How the Public Have Benefitted.**
## **IN-CONTROL Programme**
This programme was designed to address several health and wellbeing challenges our population is facing such as obesity, lack of motivation, fear, as well as public health challenges such as higher number of years spend in disability (YLD= Years of life lived with disability) impacting on the DALYs (Disability adjusted life years). The resulting impact on the National Health Service (NHS) and care services is profound amidst the challenges our NHS and the care sector is facing.
BAME population is on the rise in Buckinghamshire especially Aylesbury due to new housing and internal migration. Cost of living increase, the impact on mental health, cheaper unhealthy food options and people facing loneliness are just some of the indicators demanding a programme like IN-CONTROL to support locally communities. COVID-19 showed the disproportionate impact on BAME communities and had an adverse effect on health inequalities.
Hence, the In-Control programme was designed to improve the physical health and mental wellbeing in individuals facing health inequalities including those from a BAME (Black Asian and Minority Ethnic) groups using culturally specific and relevant information to enable conscious lifestyle changes that will go a long way in improving the health and wellbeing of our communities and also benefit our NHS and care services directly or indirectly. Heart of Bucks community foundation has funded this programme via their grant that is enabling delivery. We are ever so thankful for this funding. The programme was delivered from Sep 2022 to Sep 2023 completing delivery to all the planned ten cohorts.
The In-Control programme is a holistic programme aimed to have a tri-fold impact by empowering individuals to take control of their own health via Motivation, Nutrition and Mindfulness techniques and information. This programme is delivered as group sessions to 10-12 participants in each group. The delivery team included a Motivation expert, a Nutritionist and a Mindfulness expert. Partnerships with various local organisations ensure we recruited participants who directly benefitted via this programme.
There was an enormous interest in these sessions’ shows both by participants who heard or found out about it and also from the professionals and partner agencies who found out about it. Every partner and participants responded saying that these sessions are the need of the hour. All of them felt that this will have an immediate as well as a long term sustainable impact on individuals and families especially those from the deprived and the BAME communities via needs based provision of information. This will impact not only on primary and secondary prevention but will be beneficial for people with or without long term conditions. This is expected to go a long way in reducing the pressure on the NHS and the health care system such as ambulance, care services amongst others. This programme addresses health inequalities and is in line with the aims and objectives of the local health and care strategy.

back that this was excellent and helped them emotionally and spiritually – which reflects the positive impact on mental wellbeing.
We collected information via a open ended qualitative survey to understand the benefits to participants. 91% participants reported that this session was either good or excellent and benefited them directly. 100% participants said they were inspired to make lifestyle changes
The participants provided the following comments
_By keeping a positive attitude_

_I am trying to live in the present, self love, focussing on small things first, devolve a routine, stick to my schedule when I slipped up and get back on track, stay focussed._
## _Meditating_
The themes emerging from the comments above demonstrate the impact on physical wellbeing, lifestyle modification, mental wellbeing including social connectedness addressing social isolation and loneliness that people experienced largely since the pandemic as well as due to their social deprivation status as a result of health inequalities experienced. The positive impact of motivational techniques, mindfulness techniques will also directly impact on an individual’s ability to contribute to the society via work/employment or in other ways.
We saw individual connecting during and after the sessions to continue discussion on mutual topics which will go a long way in combating social isolation and encouraging social and cultural inclusivity which will directly impact mental wellbeing of participants in a positive way in the short as well a long run.
