members and young people involved in the group (hereinafter called the "beneficiaries") resident in
Northern Ireland and living around the area known as the Ards and the North Down region
(hereinafter called the area of benefit") and in particular,
a) To relieve need, hardship and distress amongst the beneficiaries and their families
through provision of welfare advice and social activities with the aim of providing
effective progression into the adult world as responsible individuals.
b) To provide counselling and emotional support to those beneficiaries suffering from
mental health problems, psychological trauma, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and
the associated problems dealing with Alcohol abuse, 'drugs' and family problems
c) To act as an advocate and intermediary between government and social services
personnel and local support providers.

During the financial year, work continued in line with our charitable objectives and objects and the
needs of our members and service users. Throughout the year we employed five members of staff at
the café and three core members of staff within the Newtownards offices. Fundraising remained
difficult post Covid-19 and we had much increased demand for our mental health services and other
services during the year and included both a Covid-19 increase and Afghanistan withdrawal increase.
Our Trustees continued to provide ongoing support and guidance through the year offering their skills
and expertise.
RESULTS
The summarised results of the Charity for the financial year are set out in the Income and Expenditure
Account on page 5.
