Summary of the objects of the charity set out in its governing document

To provide services for any young person, with physical, mental or learning disabilities within Essex to improve self-esteem, confidence and social skills, through a variety of methods including creative learning and physical activities.

Summary of the main activities undertaken for the public benefit in relation to these objects (include within this section the statutory declaration that trustees have had regard to the guidance issued by the Charity Commission on public benefit)

In planning our activities for the year, we kept in mind the Charity Commission’s guidance on public benefit at our trustee meetings.

The focus of our activities remains as providing high quality respite environments for disabled young people, planning and facilitating creative and physical activities in safe, secure and stimulating environments. This benefits the young people who attend by raising self-esteem and confidence and helping them develop their social skills and independence. They are able to use a variety of materials and equipment in supportive environments, with a great deal of consideration given to their individual physical and emotional needs. Parents and carers benefit from the knowledge that their disabled children are being cared for in a safe, secure environment supported by experienced staff.

We welcome all disabled young people regardless of background, faith, gender or personal circumstances, working hard to cater for each individual need.

Section D Achievements and performance

Spring / Summer Summary of the main achievements of the We once again started 2021 in a stable financial position thanks charity during the year to extremely careful budgeting and the very hard work of the CEO and staff at SHARE. The national picture of reduced funding available remained the same, but the clubs were still extremely busy supporting young people. These ran mainly at the Basildon site due to Covid-19 with the Seevic site often being used as ‘meet and greet’. Basildon continued to welcome users from as young as 3 and remained on the Early Years Register. We started 2021 within the pandemic, which had a huge impact on our processes with an overwhelming focus on safety. The clubs were able to continue running, with this focus and also considering ‘opportunity for all’. Covid secure processes were rigorous, with all recommendations in place. The Basildon site was used during the national lockdown periods. Admin staff and the CEO were able to work from home where possible. We were pleased to have our funding contract extended until September 2021 due to Covid-19, which allowed us to continue to provide our services as far as possible to our families. As restrictions slowly reduced, the numbers attending the clubs quickly rose, with many new enquiries coming through. We were proud to be part of the ‘free school meal initiative’ during the school holidays, which proved very popular. We were also pleased to start using the Seevic site once again and run clubs at a local school. The young people enjoyed hydrotherapy sessions as well at this school over the summer break. More than 100 families were using our services by the summer months. We were very pleased to be able to upgrade the garden facilities for the young people, re-open the refreshed soft-play area and offer other activities such as horse riding. Autumn / Winter The second half of the year began very positively, with a grant being awarded to maintain the swimming sessions which are much-loved. The free school meals initiative continued, and SHARE was recognised for its good quality service. Regular staff training continued in areas such as safeguarding and health and safety, and the CEO completing her level 5 qualification. The clubs continued to run to current capacity, with new referrals and queries arising. The Covid secure measures remained, with careful arrangements for dropping off/collecting young people to avoid any unnecessary close contact. The staff were committed to provide the usual stimulating and supportive environment for the users throughout this time, and despite some external events not being able to take place, the young people still benefited greatly from attending the clubs. The year ended with the usual Christmas celebrations, carefully managed but still thoroughly enjoyed by all.

Fundraising

Due to Covid-19, fundraising events were at a minimum, but some outdoor events were able to take place and very well
