Our work is guided by the principles of dignity, fostering independence inclusion, empowerment, ensuring that every individual has the knowledge, skills, and confidence to build a better future. ## **1. Information, Advice and Guidance** VO offered impartial and person-centred information, advice and guidance, enabling service users to make informed decisions about their lives. We assisted individuals in navigating complex systems, including housing and homelessness prevention, accessing healthcare services, welfare benefits, employment and self-employment opportunities, ESOL courses, training programmes, and the recognition of overseas qualifications in the UK. We also organised community cohesion initiatives and environmental activities, such as neighbourhood cleanups and educational workshops. Through close collaboration with partner organisations, we signpost individuals to specialist legal and debt advice where required. ## **2. Interculturally Adapted Employment Training Programmes** Our tailored employment programmes were designed to help participants understand the UK labour market, overcome barriers to employment, and progress towards sustainable careers. We provided guidance with job searches, CV writing, application forms, interview preparation, self-employment, and the recognition of overseas professional and vocational qualifications. Through our _Pathways to Work_ project, VO has supported many service users in gaining access to employment, vocational training delivered by partner organisations, and volunteering opportunities that build confidence, develop workplace skills, and increase understanding of employment rights and responsibilities. ## **3. Health and wellbeing Training Programmes** During this year, through the _Together We Are Stronger_ project, VO has also delivered a range of health and wellbeing activities focused on strengthening resilience, improving confidence, and exploring _positive coping strategies._ _Heart Health Training programme_ helped our service users to embrace health lifestyle. Learnt how to use blood pressure monitors and many other tips to improve health and wellbeing. ## **4. Digital Inclusion Training** Through the VO Training Academy, we deliver digital skills training tailored to the specific needs of refugees, asylum seekers and migrants. Participants learn how to book and manage online health appointments, access Universal Credit, use the UK eVisa system and confidently navigate a variety of essential digital services and to apply for jobs online. These sessions promote independence and help ensure that digital exclusion does not prevent people from accessing important services and opportunities. **5. Community Research and Publications** VO worked alongside partner organisations to undertake research into issues affecting refugees, asylum seekers, and migrant communities. This year VO worked on a project aiming to research on migrants’ experiences of homeless which will help to campaign for national change of policies. The evidence gathered was used to produce publications that inform service delivery, support advocacy, and contribute to policy development at both local and national levels. This work helps ensure that the voices and lived experiences of our communities are reflected in decision-making processes. **6. Food Vouchers and Food Distribution** To help reduce food insecurity and the rise of cost of living, VO provided food vouchers and distributed essential food supplies to refugees, asylum seekers, and migrants experiencing hardship. This support ensures that vulnerable individuals and families have access to nutritious food during times of financial difficulty. Where appropriate, we also referred service users to trusted partner organisations for additional assistance. ## **7. Community Cohesion Events** VO organised cultural and community events that celebrate diversity while encouraging social inclusion and mutual understanding. Through shared experiences involving food, music, dance, and poetry, we created opportunities for people from different backgrounds to connect and build lasting relationships. During this year, VO has celebrated International Women's Day, Refugee Week, Black History Month, and the International Day of Education. ## **8. Environmental Projects** VO encouraged community participation in environmental initiatives that promoted sustainability and climate awareness. Our projects included local clean-up campaigns, carbon literacy workshops, and environmental awareness activities, inspiring people to care for their local environment while contributing to wider climate action. Through these programs, VO provided far more than practical assistance. We equip individuals with the knowledge, confidence, skills, and connections needed to achieve long-term independence. By empowering people, strengthening communities, and influencing positive change, we are helping to build a more inclusive society where everyone has the opportunity to belong, contribute, and thrive. **Statement confirming whether the trustees have had regard to the guidance issued by the Charity Commission on public benefit** SORP reference Para 1.18 VO has appointed a new female trustee. The trustees confirm that they have given due consideration to the Charity Commission’s guidance on public benefit in carrying out their responsibilities. In particular, they have considered how the charity’s objectives are delivered for the public benefit and how its activities support the achievement of those objectives. In planning the charity’s activities for the year, the trustees reviewed its aims, objectives and strategies to ensure they continue to align with the delivery of public benefit. They also assessed the impact of the charity’s work on its beneficiaries and the wider community, ensuring that the charity’s resources are used effectively to advance its charitable purposes. Through this process, the trustees have ensured that the charity’s activities remain consistent with its objectives and are carried out in accordance with the Charity Commission’s guidance on public benefit. ## **Additional information (optional)** You may choose to include further statements where relevant about: ## **Policy on grant making** SORP reference Para 1.38 Visible Outcomes does not award grants to individuals or other organisations. **Policy on social investment including program related investment** SORP reference Para 1.38 Visible Outcomes does not currently hold any social investments or make programme related investments. ## **Contribution made by volunteers** SORP reference Para 1.38 Visible Outcomes values the vital contribution made by its volunteers in supporting the charity’s aims and objectives.

Our employment, digital inclusion and health and wellbeing programmes equipped participants with the knowledge and confidence to overcome barriers, develop new skills and move closer to employment, volunteering and further education. Community cohesion events and environmental activities created opportunities for people from diverse backgrounds to come together, reducing loneliness and strengthening relationships across communities. The charity also undertook research into issues affecting refugees and migrants, using lived experience to influence service development and contribute to wider discussions on improving support for vulnerable communities. Through strong partnerships with voluntary organisations, public services and educational institutions, we increased access to opportunities and specialist support for those most in need. The impact of our work extends beyond individual beneficiaries. By supporting people to become healthier, more confident and actively involved in their communities, Visible Outcomes has contributed to stronger, more inclusive and better-connected neighbourhoods across Greater Manchester. Our work continues to demonstrate that early intervention, empowerment and community participation not only improve individual outcomes but also create lasting social value and wider public benefit. ## **Additional information (optional)** You may choose to include further statements where relevant about: ## **Achievements against objectives set** SORP reference Para 1.41 **N/A** ## **Performance of fundraising activities against objectives set** SORP reference Para 1.41 During the reporting period, VO successfully secured grant funding from charitable trusts, public bodies and other funding organisations to support the delivery of its charitable objectives.
