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.

Section D Achievements and performance
Summary of the main achievements of the charity during the year
Spring / Summer We once again started 2022 in a stable financial position thanks 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 at the Basildon site, where we continued to welcome users from as young as 3 and remained on the Early Years Register. 2022 saw pandemic restrictions coming to a close, although the normal holiday clubs could not run one week of Easter due to infections. Families were able to use the site with their child if they wished – which was a great opportunity to build these extended relationships. We were delighted to explore the possibility of opening a second centre in Leigh-on-Sea as a day centre for the post 17s. This will be called The Active Lives Day Centre. During the first 6 months of the year The CEO located a site, agreed a lease and arranged the internal improvements to make the site ready for the first young people. A manager was recruited, and additional staff sought. In July, the first clients started using the service.

Our funding contract continued in 2022, which allowed us to continue to provide our services as far as possible to our families. The numbers attending the clubs continued to rise, with many new enquiries coming through. We were still proud to be part of the ‘free school meal initiative’ during the school holidays, which proved very popular. The young people enjoyed hydrotherapy sessions as well over the summer break. More than 100 families were using our services by the summer months. We were very pleased to be able to start using the garden area fully again as the weather improved, begin the off-site activities and develop sessions to meet individual needs.
Autumn / Winter The second half of the year began very positively, with the Basildon site benefitting from a contract with Active Essex to deliver services. The free school meals initiative continued for those children with complex needs. Regular staff training continued in areas such as safeguarding and health and safety. The clubs continued to run to current capacity, with new referrals and queries arising. We were grateful for some donations this year, which allowed us to develop the Leigh site, and purchase a new trampoline for Basildon. The Leigh Day Centre continued to raise interest, with many trial sessions taking place for young people. Regular visits out took place to build life and social skills. During this year Essex Short Breaks released a new tender, with the criteria changing for who could bid. ECC will streamline who receives funding and SHARE may not meet the criteria. Consortiums are being explored and other funding streams investigated. The year ended with the usual Christmas celebrations, which were thoroughly enjoyed by all. Fundraising Donations were received from local businesses which were very beneficial to the developments. We were grateful for the support from our wonderful volunteers through – the year huge thanks for all they do.
