The financial restraints placed on the sector have coincided with an increased need for mental health 5ervice5 resulting in early inteNention support, psychiatric hospital beds and psychological support being over stretched. That coupled with a decrease in people wishing to work in the sector means that there is still a lack of suitably skilled and abled stsff entering the workforce which poses challenges for the sector at large. We are therefore grateful for our Radical Rent Prograrnme which is. now well established and provide5 a 50cially responsible way of funding our charitable works by mainstream rent.

Our impactfor financial year 202312024 has been impressive as we have supported many 'more people to live freer lives thanks to our innovative 24 hour5 support 5ervice5. Review of Affairs 2024 Background The health and social care sector continue to face the challenges wroug ht'by nationwide under investment. The financial restraints placed on the sector have coincided with an increased need for mental health 5ervice5 resulting in early inteNention support, psychiatric hospital beds and psychological support being over stretched. That coupled with a decrease in people wishing to work in the sector means that there is still a lack of suitably skilled and abled stsff entering the workforce which poses challenges for the sector at large. We are therefore grateful for our Radical Rent Prograrnme which is. now well established and provide5 a 50cially responsible way of funding our charitable works by mainstream rent. This nain5tream rental incorne proTnote5 our autonomyj redu5 reliance on the publicpurse and help5 115 to be a valued and respected providerforthose who commission our service5 as well as those who live in them, S'o, whllst we acknowledgethat the demands on the publlcpurse are many and varled, we are pleased to play our part In dellvering the followlng innovative service solutions to those most in need In theSr local 'communlties.

JUST CIRCLE LIMITED REpoirf OF THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES AND STRATEGIC REPORT for the year ended 31 March 2024 (continued) We were also thrilled to be the selected provlder to offer a unique psychologically informed response to over 120 service users who have experienced mental health, homelessness and substance use issues. Our service delivers intensive I.. I support wlth servlce users resistant to engage who are living in 5UPPOrted accommodation run by a number of providers in the not-for-profit sector. We have worked with these organisations to upskill their staff teams, develop universal best practice protoco15 and to role model assertive psychologically informed engagement with service users. This has helped to promote improved service user contact and provide staff with the confidence to employ a range of strategies to support independence and self-reliance with service Users. Our biggest challenge, in common with the health and social care sector at large, is recruitment. This year following feedback from candidates, attention tumed to our name and our brand. People felt that Cyrenians "sounded old fashioned" "like a faith-based organisation" and 'not representative of our innovations in mental health care." So, as part of our Strategic Plan we have undergone a name change in May 2024 and are launching our rebrand and website in September 2024. We are working closely with design consultants to create a website that reflects our compassion, Innovation and -can do" ethos. Finding a fitting new name after half a century is not an easy task, it's a blt Ilke trylng to catch lightening in a Jarl We wanted a name that stood for simplicity, integrity and honesty and great outcomes with some very complex needs servlce users...and so JUST was bom.

Review of Affairs 2024 Background The health and social care sector continue to face the challenges wroug ht'by nationwide under investment. The financial restraints placed on the sector have coincided with an increased need for mental health 5ervice5 resulting in early inteNention support, psychiatric hospital beds and psychological support being over stretched. That coupled with a decrease in people wishing to work in the sector means that there is still a lack of suitably skilled and abled stsff entering the workforce which poses challenges for the sector at large. We are therefore grateful for our Radical Rent Prograrnme which is. now well established and provide5 a 50cially responsible way of funding our charitable works by mainstream rent.

This has helped to promote improved service user contact and provide staff with the confidence to employ a range of strategies to support independence and self-reliance with service Users. Our biggest challenge, in common with the health and social care sector at large, is recruitment. This year following feedback from candidates, attention tumed to our name and our brand.
