Our Achievement and Accomplishments
Preparing an annual report provides a lime for refiection, an opportunity to look back over the previous year revisiting
areas of success and reconsidering areas of challenge. It also helps us to look lo the future and consider what it is
we need to do to keep moving fotward. There is quotation that says °Moving on is a process, moving fo)waKI is a
choice. There's a slight difference betsveen the Iwo- moving on is letting things happen, moving forward is making
things happen.
In the year end March 2024 SLCP continued through another difficult year especially with the rising costs of Gas and
Eleclrictty along with price increases for malerials etc.
Organisations within Mt. Zion House also have struggled with increases but still remain committed to serving the
community.
SLCP are delighted that our partner Action Cancer have continued to bring its therapeutic support seNices to Mt Zion
House and in supporting this much needed Servi￿ in our area we continue to offer them the use of2 rooms at no
cost as a thank you for their work.
Complementary therapy can help reduce anxiety and stress, improve sleep patterns and aid
relaxation. It can also teach coping skills to help deal with what's happening. Any adult or child who has had a cancer
diagnosis themselves or has been affected through a close
ielative's diagnosis Gan avail of this free seNice.
Counselling continues to be a vital service especially with the continuing cost of living crisis and the effect it is having
on the community. along with ones everyday struggles. Vwth our qualified counsellors Ihey can offer their clients

more Counsellors lo Mt. Zion House as the demand is continuing to increase and going forward 2 more Counselling

further develop this green space. We will continue lo enhance this space as clients and volunteers are staling that Ihe
garden brings such joy to Ihem. and they feel safe in this environment and enjoy their time working with each other.
