Achievements and perforniance
Many individuals and their families who have been experiencing significant personal difficulties have received help from
Helping Hands Community Outreach Project throughout year ended 30 SeptembeT 2024. It is hoped that the income by
way of donations from individuals, business and grant income will continue at a rate that will allow the company to
sustain and develop the rninisty of Helping Hands Community Outreach Project. Helping Hands work within the wider
Arniagh, Banbridge and Craigavon Council area. We provide a holistic service for beneficiaries from furnIt￿e provision
to counselling services. Our services have been making a huge difference in the lives of many people within our local
community for over 15 years.
We have developed a range of services to provide a holistic support system and enable us to support as many people &s
possible, through areas such as. furniturelfoodlclothing provision, emergency heating, counselling, befriending,
tnentoring, CV prepatation, budgeting advice, training (through operational cafelworkshop), and volunteering
opportunities. Our goal is to journey with people regardless of the challenges that they are facing. If someone requires a
piece of furniture then we will 5UPPOrt them with that (sometimes they only need support in thi5 way), however, often the
reason they need practical support is due to other challenges. TherefoTe, we will then offer any of our other services as
wraparound support should they need it for example budgeting advice so they will be able to manage their household
income and save for items of furniture they need in the future. We want to give people a hand up rather than a hand out.
Furtherniore, we have recently purchased and renovated two properties in the local area which are now providing
emergency housing for those in need.
During the 2023124 period we:
Provided practical support (flwniture, food, clothing etc) to 806 households within the wider ABC council area giving
out 1302 items of support. In addition our counselling services provided 191 one to one sessions, our mediation and
befriending services also met with and facilitated in hundreds more cases. In total our services provided direct support to
approximately 5000 people during the 2023124 period.
