## **1. Introduction**
The Trustees of Embrace Outreach are pleased to present the charity’s first Annual Report as a registered CIO. This inaugural year has been one of establishing foundations, clarifying our identity, and positioning the organisation for meaningful impact and sustainable growth. Throughout this period, our core objective has remained unchanged: **to relieve the needs of parents and carers of children with SEND, and to support individuals living with disabilities** .
