We continued to offer free short-term counselling from an autistic counsellor, as well as offering additional 1-2-1 support to attendees on our Post Diagnosis courses. Service users report benefits of working with an autistic therdpist, particularly those who have had a non- autistic therapist in the past. We engaged an independent researcher to carry out an external evaluation of our Post- Diagnosis course. The evaluation reported significant benefits for participants and demonstrated the quality and value of SWAN'S work and our autistic-led approach.

Volunteerin at SWAN Our volunt¢¢r team Continues to grow, with a tolal of 35 volunt¢¢rs in posl, fa¢ililaling in- person and onlin¢ groups, r¢sponding to ¢mails ¢nquiri¢s and putting tog¢ther r¢sour¢¢s for infonnation and signposting. We have fornied a Volunteer Development Team where volunteers are taking more responsibility foT feeding back and planning Service dev¢lopmeTht, as well as supporting new volunteers. Some of our volunteers have started organising outings with their groups and writing blogs for our news page. One volunteer has created a 'nature walk map, to use with th¢ walking group th¢y l¢ad, and another has worked with our Volunteer Coordinator to produ¢¢ an FAQS vid¢0 to give infornlation on what to expect wh¢n attending an in-p¢rson group at SWAN. Volunteers and staff bave also supported service-useTS to move into volunteer roles. One of our volunteers, who started a5 a nervous attendee at a local group, went on to train as an Assistant Facilitator, and has now proposed a new local group in another area and taken the lead on setting that up, identifying a venue, and taking on the Lead Facilitator role. SWAN has given me ihe opportunity lo meet other autistic WOD7en and makefriends on the ame wavele17h as me. I've also learned a huge amounl and ended up doing things I never Ihoughi possible, all while being stlpporled by a ¢ommt4nily of volunleers and Ihe leadership team. Training and Con$ultsn¢y We have Continued to develop our in-house training. specialising in providing bespoke training for specific professional contexts and supwrt. In addition to ow in-house training for organisations and teams, we launched a calendar of online training and workshops which can be booked by individuals to attend. In the reporting perio(L we delivered 27 training sessions and workshops to 1891 people across 87 public. private and third sectors organisations. Future Developments As we go forward into the coming year. we will focus on sustainable growtlL both of our services and organisations sustainability, and on the delivery of our Strategy. We will be evaluating our curreni provision and identifying gaps to inforni our plans and ensure we understand and respond to the specific priorities and experiences of our diverse autistic communities. We will continue to shape our working practices as an autistic-led charity, in relation to how we design and deliver our services, recruit and support our autistic staff and volunteers, govern our organisation, and embody the change we want to see. As SWAN develops in response to the growing demand for our services. we must ensure we achieve a balance of embedding professional systems and services. fostering a positive environment for autistic staff and volunfrers. and maintaining the sense of Community and accessibility that is at the centre of SWAN'S identity.
