Ashes to Gold Charity
Trustees, Report
The tsustees present the at￿llaR report together witb the fman¢ial statements of the charity for the year ended 31
December 2024.
Objectives and activities
Ob ectives and aims
Looking back on 2024, Asbes to Gold saw another year of essential service delivery undertaken wÈth th¢ core aims
of raising aspiration, confidence, hope and pU￿oSe whilst pwbing back the impacts and strongholds of addiction,
loneliness and worthl¢ssness. As our con)munities continue to navigate a journey in)nLersed in mole and more
technology and "connectivity" often we see the outcome being the opposite where people feel more disconnected
than ever and they're anything but a part of "community" and all this coupled with an ever-increasing struggle to
access the vastly underfi￿ded statutory health and support services. On a regular b&sis our project staff and
volunteers encounter both sides of the needs spectnllll, meeting service users who have slipped through the net and
find themselves in crisis and also, local h¢alth trust staff seeking help to meet needs that their resources just simply
cannot cover. So, we look to a dedicated team of staff and volunteers, some humble but impactfill facilities and
some strategic delivery partners and w¢ find a way to help and support. Indeed, the Ashe5 to Gold team will always
ty to provide a way fonvard and fit a person to the service or the service to the person! With these factors in mind,
the core aim of the Ashes to Gold charity remains to PTovide user led and putposeful activities to individuals in the
Causeway Coast and Glens area who want to increase their Confidence, motivation and self-belief whlle learning
new skills. Across all our projects we focus on supporting people who have special or additional needs. have
become isolafrd or are suffering with mental health issues, are long term unemployed or are navigating a journey
through the judk¢ial system. W¢ support our clients by teaching them new skills, providing support with mental
well-being and empoweiing them with the confidenc¢ and ability to make sustainable changes to their lives and
enjoy their role in community,
At our Oasis projec¢ we provide support to people who are strnggling with addictio￿ loneliness, long tenn
unemployment and are living with, or recovering from mental health issues, providing imD]ediat¢ support through
OUT drop-in and other more focu55ed services and therdpies. At our Oasis centre, anyone who is feeling low, isolated
or lacking in confidence can come and meet our friendly staff and volunteers for a chat and a cuppa. We can provide
one to one therapeutic sUPPOrt through our team of qualified couns¢llors along with providing plans to help an
individual achieve their personal goals and progress from dependency to safe and sustainable independency. A
focussed addictions awareness and support group is held on a weekly b&sis and an emergency foodbank is also
available five days per week for anyone who finds themselves in food poverty crisis.
Ashes to Gold's Grow project focusses on delivering various levels of therdpeutic nature and gardening programs to
a diverse range of groups from our COD)munity, including adults with physical and learning disabilities, veterans
experiencing anxiety and PTSD, older individuals, community groups from are￿ of bigh disadvantage, and local
primary schools seeking enriching outdoor learning exp¢riences. Grow's activities vary depending on the groups
needs, encompassing gardenin& horticllltural therapy, food growing and harvesting, cookery lessons and
environmental awareness education. Regardless of who visits, our goal is to inspir¢ everyone to embrace the
outdoors and experience the benefits of physical activity within a natl￿al setting.
Ashes to Gold's 'Re5tore' workshop is set up to provide DIY training and simple woodworking activities that not
only inspire and teach its visitor5 but re-purpose both materials and people! The artivities and support provided can
help an individual to gain the confidence and skills required to better ¢ngage in community and step tOW￿dS
employment. As with the Grow projec¢ this facility is serving a diverse set of groups from all sectors of the local
community and fiuther afield in some cases.

Moorbrook - Fishing and tinle in the great outdoors has been proven to be Useful, if not essentiaL in bringing
improved mental well-being and equipping people wkth the skills to manage challenges in mental health. Th¢ aim of
the Moorbrook site is to introduce the pastime of fishing along with a variety of other outdoor activities to a much
wider comtnuuity audience including children and the elderly and those with physical and mental disabilities with a
focus being put on the health and well-being benefits of th¢ various activities on offer.
Public benef
Ashes to Gold aims to educate, empower and help those who require assistance to integrate back into society, and to

businesses and s¢rvic¢s for fmancial, training or well-being assistallce.
The charity also aims to provide facilities and tutors to
- a5SlSt with the educational needs of those who do not have access to learning in numeracy or literature,

Th¢ trustees confirni that they have complied with the requirements of the Charities Act (Nortb¢rn Ireland) 2008 to
have due regard to the public benefit guidance published by the Cliarity CoJnn]ission for Nortbern Ireland.
eivements and
erformanc
During the 2024 year, Ashes to Gold has seen a marked increase in delivery across most of th¢ charity projects and
this founded on a solid development of both staff and volunteer stnlcture coupled with development of the necessary
planning and compliance procedures associated with this increased delivery, with ail being achieved under the
carefill direction of tbe board of t￿￿te¢s.
The Oasis project contiJ]ued to deliver sttuctured health and well-being pro￿eS to individuals from areas of
high depravation and, under the leadeTship of a new lead COUDs¢llor, saw significant development of the counselling
servÈce and tb¢ physical environment where delivery takes place with over 1,200 hours of 1-2-1 therapy being
delivered by the t¢aD] of volunteer counsellors. tn July 2024 Ashes to Gold O&sis once again gained major support
for operating and prograwme costs tEwough DFC (Department for Communities) to provide essential services to the
most disadvantaged in ow locaI communities.
Also, in collaboration with th¢ landlords of the Ashes to Gold O&sis premises, Colernine 1st Presbyterian Church,
some of the Oasis service delivery which includes the w¢ekly drop in and addiction support sessions now takes
place in a much more suitable place in the neighbouring building at a sustainable cost to the charity. The need for
emergency food and other '*oint of crisis" services stayed steady and we were able to meet most of that need
through the generosity of several local churches and funders who either donated non-perishable food, personal
hygiene products and pet food or the financial provision to cover emergency needs like electricity credit or food
shopping vouchers to purchase essentials such as baby food and nappies.

Ashes to Gold Charity
Trustees, Report (continued)
Through support fro]n the ATG Gmup, the Moorbrook project was also subject to significant development after the
appointment of a general manager to oversee both the day-to-day operdtions and the growth necessary to achteve
some level of sustainability. This resulted in a rapid development of on-site activities and services and a marked
incre&se in visitOT footfall from a variety of sources including the local Education Authority and The Scouts.
Funding tbrough the Honourable The Irish Society enabled angling to be taugbt to multiple children and youth
groups alld fLmding from the VeteraDS Foundation enabled over 200 veterans of the arni¢d forces and their family
membeTS to avail of some much-n¢eded well-being retreats that included activity packages and food. All activities
and services have at their core, the desire to engage people with nature, regardless of age or background, and to
encounter opportunities to go fonvard in a more positive way. Several other smaller fimds were also obtained foT the
delivery of community craft and fLm events that proved to be an incredible success with full attendance at all events
and some very positive fredback been given. The Moorbrook project was also success￿1 in being awarded a Green
Flag for providing a safe and inclusive space for community engagement and enjoynLenÈ in 2024.
Ashes to Gold's GTOW and Restore Workshop projects continued to provide a safe and peaceful space for groups of
all ages to engage with nature and enjoy the pastimes of cooking, gardening and woodworking, with guests corning
from more than ten different routes of connection and referral to avail of the activities and therapies on offer. As is
now commonplace, anxiety, isolation and other mental well-being challenges are on the increase and immeasurable
econon]ic difficulties continue to blight the lives of many in our community and often the testimony of Ashes to
Gold being a'sanctuty. away from the PTesswe cooker of life 15 heardl This year saw a further two DGS (Defence
Garden Scheme) ten-week horticultur￿ therapy PTogrammes delivered to veterans of the arnied forces who were
referred as a result of being negatively impacted by their military service with many suffering the effects of ongoing
ornplex PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder) and other emotional, mental and physical challenges. There were
many key outcomes from these pro8Tammes but two that stand out were a referral to and CODnection with a specialist
veterans addiction service and the prevention of a well planned suicide. The Grow and Restore PTojects also saw
ongoing facilitation of a weekly service to adults with a learning disability through the NHSCT Day Opportunities
programme. where workplace style activities are undertaken in a workplace Style environmenL encouraging learning
and self confidence and prepardtion for employment where appropriate. The early summer also saw a group from
the local health trust adult day r¢ntre avail of twice weekly gardening and woodwoTktng activities, with each
participant being given the assistance, care, tools and training to fully take part Tegardless of their personal
limitations. Ashes to Gold continues to strive to ensur¢ that no one feels difftTent or left out becaus¢ of their mentsl
or physical ability by learning about the differing needs and adapting accordingly, examples being workbenches that
adapt to a mobility aid or wheelchair user and special frames that enable the safe use of a handsaw by someone with
a dexterity issue, all( tbe adaptable benches blend in with the rest of the benches so no on¢ i5 Situated 5¢parat¢ly.
Onc¢ again, Ashes to Gold f￿dS itself responding to significant increases in conununity and social need, with
addiction, aDxiety, isolation, s¢lf-harni and suicide all on the rise. Agai￿ key indicators ¢videnring the increase in
demand was the number of individuals who we would count as "DiTect Beneficiaries" of the services delivered
througb the various projects. Many individuals simply had no Option but to call at our projects and ask for help with
energy costs, food, health, mental health or housing as tbey found themselves in crisis in one or more of tbese areas.
Another key indicator was the increase in requests from local statutory health and support agencies for structured
programs of health interventions including mental health and addictions support.
During the 2024 year, in excess of 1,000 people, mainly from local constittlencies, received help and support
through the Ashes to Gold charity and we can be confident that many more "indirect beneficiaTies" felt the impact of
this support through an emergency need that was met or an improved and more stable environment at home andlor
in the workplace. This growth in service delivery was handled comfortably on the ground by the Ashes to Gold
project managers with the support of the board of trustees, but all had to invest energy, tin]e and wisdom in
managing services and r¢50wces to cop¢ with the increase in deDwid whilst navigating a tight fmancial
envirorment.

Trustees, Report (continued)
As with pr¢vious years, Ashes to Gold's Project Managers used existing resources well and perfonned brilliantly in
recruiting more tn￿ed volunt¢¢rs to assist in the increased facilitation of services.
Again, Ash¢5 to Gold was playing its part and many lives were being impacted as a result.
Struetureg governallee and management
Organisalional structhre
The governance and management stnLCture of the charity has remained largely unchanged through the 2024 yeaT
except for the resignation of Mr Peter Finch who left the b0￿d in November. The board met r¢gulaTly througb the
year and steered the orgaDisation as it carried out the various project activities.
