Aims & Objectives

To promote the education, welfare and benefit of children and young people with disabilities up to the age of 25 years who live or who attend school/college in the Forest of Dean, and their families. To provide activities and services in relation thereto:

• A range of accessible social, sport and recreational activities provided locally giving our members the same choices as their non-disabled peers for things to do and places to go.

• Support, advice and guidance for parents/carers

• Opportunities for parent members to meet for mutual support.

• To empower parents/carers to access the services they need for quality of life for them and their family members, both individually and by being part of a local group.

• To enable families as a whole to benefit from the group - not just the child with disabilities/additional needs.

• To promote interaction and good relations between the members and the community as a whole.

— Charity Management comprised mainly of parents of children with additional needs met regularly to oversee the activities of the charity. Trustees are recruited from parents members, recommendation and word of mouth, plus occasional newspaper appeals.

• Helen Baker—Chair

• Vikki Fellows—Trustee

• Chantel Gardner—Trustee

• Mark Joyce—Treasurer

• Ann Parry—Trustee

• Sharon Shirley (until 13th July 2020) - Vice chair

• Christine Woolstencroft—Trustee

Staff

Pamela Jones—Charity Director

Kimberley Roberts—Charity Manager Amy Millin—Activity Manager

Samantha Whittington—Assistant Activity Manager Jean Wilkinson— Office Administrator

In addition we have 24 sessional staff.

We had 23 volunteers (including Trustees) join us over the period. Unfortunately, due to COVID 19 our volunteer numbers were much reduced compared to previous years. We made a conscious decision not to involve volunteers in activities in order to reduce the risk of virus transmission, and for this reason we did not actively recruit new volunteers during the height of the pandemic.

Prior to Summer Activity Club we would normally present talks at local schools and colleges to recruit volunteers but due to COVID 19 we were unable to do this. Instead, we created a poster and emailed all information to all the local schools and colleges and asked them to circulate the information to the relevant aged pupils. We hope to build our volunteer base up during the coming year.

58 children and young people accessed face to face or zoom sessions during the period.

273 families including 307 children and young people with special needs received circulated information.

89 members received a Festive Activity Pack

Trustees of the charity are fully aware of their responsibilities in relation to Public Benefit, and ensure that all the activities of the charity meet Charity Commission Guidance and are in line with relevant Charity Commission Documentation, e.g. Public Benefit Requirement (PB1), Public Benefit Running a Charity (PB2), Public Benefit Reporting (PB3).

107 activity sessions provided offering a total of 1838 places.

412 people are part of the private Forest Pulse Facebook page.

The trustees believe it is essential that all its activities (a outlined above) are for public benefit, and that focusing on this benefits not only our members but also the local community.

359 people follow the Forest Pulse Fundraising page on Facebook.

60 followers on the Forest Pulse Twitter page.

Activities offered: Zoom: Individual zoom sessions Talent show Sing along Performing Arts Music Forest Friends

Facebook: Story time Sensory Art & Craft Spot the difference Drawing Wordsearches Scavenger hunts Science experiments Meet the staff videos Quizzes Christmas packs: Colouring Sensory bags Reindeer food pouches Snowball dippers Scavenger hunt Quiz Tissue paper stain glass window

We also offered all our members support to collect medication, provisions etc.

We were so pleased when restrictions started to be eased so that we could get back to seeing our members in real life rather than through a screen!

We knew we had to be careful to get our activities back up and running so we did a very gradual introduction to activities.

We offered our members a choice of three face to face activities; Forest Friends, After school club or Weekend Activity Club. Numbers were kept to a minimum and young people were not able to mix groups. We were also very excited when we found out that we would be able to run a Summer Activity Club! Again, this was done with limited numbers and young people split into pods and that’s where not only young people stayed for the duration of Summer but also staff.

We are hopeful that all restrictions will soon be lifted and we hope to be able to be back up and running to full capacity. We hope to be able to provide a more ‘normal’ looking Summer Activity Club with increased numbers and having outside activity providers come in.

We also plan to be back running all after school and weekend clubs in September.

We continue to offer parents individual support and guidance on a wide range of subjects on an individual basis as required, plus signposting to other organisations/professionals as appropriate.

Senior staff are available to attend multiagency and other meetings with parents on request

Regular newsletters, emails, website and Facebook keep parents up to date with activities and services provided not only by ourselves but by other organisations..

We are looking to provide workshops to give parents the opportunity to learn new skills but also link with other parents for mutual support – whilst our staff provide fun activities for their children.

Once the limitations of Covid are reduced we will also be looking at any training parents might wish to access.

We ended the year in a very healthy position financially. This was due in part to additional Covid emergency funding but also much appreciated continued funding from Gloucestershire County Council alongside donations and fundraising within the local community. Our thanks to:-

• Gloucestershire County Council funding for holiday, weekend and adult services

• The National Lottery Covid-19 Respose Fund

• • Gloucestershire Funders/Gloucestershire Community Foundation/Barnwood Trust

• • Forest of Dean District Council Business Fund

• Lydney Town Council / West Dean Parish Council / Forest Voluntary Action Forum

• • Freemasons / Western Power / Masonic • Everyone who donated to Forest Pulse, or were involved with fundraising on our behalf

• ---

The policy of the charity is to retain sufficient reserves to ensure the financial stability of the charity in the next financial year, whilst building up our designated funds as detailed below:£149,196 reserves held, of which the charity has designated

• £85,000 Building Fund

• £15,000 Sickness/Maternity/Redundancy Fund
