Inverclyde Faith In Throughcare Trustees, Annual Report (cont) Year ended 31" March 2025 Objectives and Activitie5 - (cont) IfiT supports people in our community by enabling participants to engage in a range of activities. to aid recovery, enjoy new experiences. improve wellbeing and help build resilience. One of IfiT's key strengths, as an organisation, is its ability to connect with people and help them access local services. Our 5t2ff and Six volunteers are well informed, engage in their own continuous professional development, and have access to vltal community resources. We currently have three particlpant5 engaglng In college courses, two have gained full time employment and others are exploring educational opportunities th2t bare sourced by IfiT Staff, these include, mental health wellbeing courses, cooking classes and lifeskills. Two participants have gained full time employment following a successful move on from support. We accept referrals from individuals as well as organisations such as social work. the Scottish Prison Seniice, and other third-party charities. We support clients who are stable in their recovery and ongaging well in support through a thorough initial, and ongoing, assessments. IfiT continues to be a people-led project. Most of the volunteers and the staff members we have employed, since the project started, have had experience - either directly or indirectly- of the criminal justice system. They bring their own lived experience to shape how IfiT works and the activities it engages in. They know what their own experiences have been and have been able to build the positives of this into the shape of how IfiT works with people, as well as knowing the things that could have gone better for them, and the things they would like to try to do differentlyfor others. We support several clients who are experlencing challenges around substance use disorders. We continue to provide an informed choice about recovery pathways and encourage attendance within IfiTgroups to improve social isolation. increase a positive mental health outlook, and for general wellbeing. Consistency in communicating the values of IfiT is very important especially when asking people to leave and return at another time if they are overmedicated or under the influence on arrival. This has been normal practice as we take a consistent approach and protect people from risk of being triggered, rnaintaining health and safety for all present, and ensuring participants feel safe to engage wlth orhers. We know there is a need for Irr because evidence shows that effective, tailored. and sustained support is a protective factor to reduce InStanS and change patterns of re-offending and re-imprisonment. Remembering that rnost of our participants also have history of addictions. the need for our project is also ernphasised by the succinct conclusion of that th• oppo£it• of addiction is not sobriety, it 13 humon connection." We journey with our participants directly, and at least initially, go wlth thern to appointments such as the doctor, housing, drug team etc. This ensures that the person gers there, and that the coordinator/volunteer acts as a constant source of support and vital holder of information across the many services that the person is required to engage with, at this crucial transition phase. Unlike some statutory organisations we do not place lirnits on the length of time that people can stay involved with us, meaning that we are a constant, reliable, trusted source of support. We want to maximise the posltive impact on lives, through the work that IfTI does, for very vulnerable indivlduals. and their families, at this critical point in their lives. In doing thi5 we empower participant5 to take back control of their lives in a positive manner, re-engage with family, and support them, in finding ways back into the community. Pa8el-4-
Inverclyde Faith in Throughcare Trustees, Annual Report {cont) st Year ended 31 March 2025 Objectives and Activities- {cont) Case Study Staff received a referral request from the local MSP who met X when they were sleeping on the streets. The individual was experiencing homelessness following a rekei had recently been liberated from prison with no prior support in place. Furthermore, they experienced withdrawal symptoms from class A substances and their mental health had significantly deteriorated with symptoms of psychosis and phycological stress. X was signposted to IfiT for support. At the initial meeting, an overview of our organisations aims were explained and the support available. Following assessment by staff, an individualised care plan was agreed. At the time of referral, engagement was sporadic due to combined factors of personal choice, environmental and societal challenges they were facing. Due to repeated illicit substance use, X experienced relapses into old patterns of behaviour that caused him to reoffend and resulted in him being re-incarcerated. In prison, IfiT reconnected with X and offered throughcare support whilst in custody to ensure their experience of leaving prison was Positive. care plans were in place prior to liberation to ensure a successful and safe reintegration. Staff worked with local services, Homelessness casework team, (ADRS) alcohol drug recovery service at Wellpark to ensure that all identified areas of sUPPOrt were met. When X was liberated a support worker brought them back to Greenock, implementing their personalised action plan. Meeting with X immediately after release eased their anxiety and was assisted in attending appointments with housing support services, benefits advice Services and support acce55 to tenancy. Initial support needs were met, a weekly schedule of community supports and IFIT specific groups gave the routine and strutture vital for X's reintegration as they began to rebuild relationship5 With his family. Engagement increased and preferred outcomes were discussed as a priority. X had a significant history of (ACES) adverse child experiences and trauma that manifested as anger and substance abuse. X experienced challenges around communicating their true feelings, causing them to isolate at times and affect their mental health. X began attending recovery-based meeting within the community and tailored recovery orientated groups that were delivered within IfiT. IfiT identified a ten-day retreat that was tailored for X where he thrived along with others who had similar experiences. This boosted X's confidence and allowed them to take part in a range of outdoor activities. X also attended a retreat in the Isle of Mull called CAMAS. X was part of a group that were stable in their own recovery journey but 5UPPOrted by staff and volunteers to contribute to the planned retreat activities including, orienteering, kayaking, abseiling, sea fishing and wild camping. X has since desisted from offending behaviour and maintains his own recovery, living independently without the need for support and has been engaging with an integrative councillor weekly which has supported X to respond in a healthier way to challenges in their life. X cares for their mother who does not keep well and also is a positive influence in their younger brother's life. Pagel-5-

Inverclyde Faith in Throughcare Trustees, Annual Report (cont) Year ended 31" March 2025 Objectives and Activities - {cont) Achievements and Performance We continue to work hard aiming to engage participants and support them individually in a per50n-centred way from initial assessment to ongoing support planning. We work closely with local community partners and work effectively in partnership to support participants with regard to issues such as addiction, poor mental health, housing, wellbeing, and meeting some identified training/employment needs. Due to the nature of our client group, several participants are unable to engage fully due to a wide range of complex issues. We continue to keep the door open for them. We have worked closely with the local homelessness team in relation to several participants, housing and community support needs. Our co-ordinator attends multi-agency meetings relevant both to our participants, and the strategic development of recovery in Inverclyde. Recently, we have entered into a Partnership Agreement with HMP Low Moss to allow flexibility with referrals from those in custody and planning for liberation. This will give us permission to access key information in line with information sharing agreements and remove barriers to provide best practice and a good quality of throughcare support. Our annual target of supporting 25 participants to return safely to Inverclyde has proved to be achievable. 2024-25 Performance Measures Participants engaged in service including previous years participants 34 New referrals 23 Referrals Closed due to non-engagement 18 Participants that never engaged following referral Total number of active participants 24 Successful move on's from IFIT Pagel- 12-

Inverclyde Faith in Throughcare Trustees, Annual Report {cont) st Year ended 31 March 2025 Financial Review The project continues to seek and has been successful in securing funding from a variety of sources. Most notably, the increased salary costs were funded in the year by the Bank of Scotland Trust and the National Lottery Community Fund. Our financial plan states that we will always seek to profile and phase ourfunding to ensure that we are not reliant on any single funding source for salary costs at any given time. Raising Unrestricted Funds continued to be challenging however a mix of smaller locally sourced funds have helped to meet this yearfs costs. The project has operated this yearfrom rented premises and has recorded a small surplus in the year. Available funds in hand have increased from £25,702 to £43,568 with Unrestricted Funds increasing from £6,536 to £10,542. The charity continued to meet unforecast costs in response to the rising fuel costs crisis with the charity providing food to those attending project meetings. Donated Facilities and Services The Charity Trustees would like to thank all the Charity volunteer5 and others who have helped to contribute to the success and achievements of the past year. Reserves Policy As employers of members of staff, our policy regarding reserves is to establish a funding level that fully covers the legal requirementsto honourthe terms of our employee's contract, both in terms of ongoing revenue commitment whilst actively employed, and in terms of contingency in the case of termination of employment. It is the Trustees, policy to work towards holding reserves of approximately six month5 expenditure including designated funds. At the year end IFIT held cash funds of £25,702 (2024- £20,307) This balance represents about five month5 of committed expenditure and while this is lower than would normally be expected the Trustees note that timing of funding from one of the main funders will not be received until after year end date consolidating the 6 monihs reserves policy. The Trustees continue to seek a broad basis of longer term funding in challenging conditions to enable a more comfortable level of reserves to be held. Pagel-14-
