ILO.C.WA.S OSCR Reachoutcommunitywellbeing & Support Rè&l*tEdlO SC052710 Annual Report 2023- 2024 DATE: Jul 29. 2024 PRESENTED BY: . Charityfounderl Chairperson A MESSAGE FROM THE Founder Hello Evaryone. Id like to begin with a big THANKYOU. to our board members and everyone who has helped me with myvision to move Reach Out Community Wellbeing and Support from a Community initiative back in 04th May 2020. fromjust holding zoom sessions to help people beat loneliness and isolation during the global pandemic of Covid19. To where we are atthis present date. a Scottish registered charity SCIO SC052710. awarded to us on 26th July 2023 from OSCR (Scottish Charity Regulator). To which i am immgnsely proud and humbled by how an idea from my bed room to offar social inclusion and redu loneliness through person centred emotional support. has grown to the amazing service's wa can offer people and families today. Having suffered ill health & disabilities mysalf for many years, followod by Covid then long Covid. finding mysell unableto do the career i thought i wanted to peruse within the NHS within addictions sector. I realised that going backto gain morg qualifications securing further knowledge in Counselling. Social Science and Psychologywaswhere i could find a space for myselfto put my skills and expanded knowledge into fruition. to help others within my local communitywithout putting strain on to my own body and mind. A massiveThankyoul to Fiona Colbron-Brown atthe EK Collective. who has been backing us and been our Biggestsupport since July 2023. Fiona & David atThe EK Collective have welcomed and accommodated us. to enable is to keep helping and supporting pgople within our community. sinca becoming a charity. Honestly. we couldn't have continued withouttheir help. support and generosity. Along the way has been a bit of a joumeyto saythe least! a journey that has been worth it. seeing how many individuals and families we have supported overthis past yaar. We still have so much room for growth end leaming. we hope to have morevolunteersthis yearto help outto run our charity and offer greattraining package forthem. so ourstandards remain of the highest quality.
How has this year looked? - Going from a few Zoom sessions weekly, to then purchasing our �rst contract phone introducing our Check-in telephone service (which is still the most used service we o�er), allowing people to be heard and valued and feel supported from the other end of the phone.
We hope to train and recruit another support worker this year to be able to deliver this service, as the need for this has increased massively, we are now having to add people onto a waiting list (to which i didn't want to do!) but have no option, as our main referrer is South Lanarkshire Social work Adult Service, and they understand why we have now introduced this waiting list system, to meet the demand.
We have partnership very nicely this year with our local foodbank - The EK Community Food Bank, where we can o�er a drop o� service of food/personal care/clothing to those who cannot make it along to their local churches for whatever reason. being able to o�er this service has helped out our isolated members of our community immensely, so a special Thank You, to at The EK Community Food Bank for allowing us to work collaboratively.
Our main Focus in our �rst year as a SCIO Charity was to have all of our policies and procedures in place, which were happy to report they are.
Its with great hope and drive to keep moving forward and growing as we learn, see the need and make things happen, to help others to thrive and grow through our specialised emotional support!!
Thank You!
Kind Regards,
Charity Founder, Reach Out Community Wellbeing and Support SCIO
Some information from our Vice Chairperson
I would like to echo the comments from our Founder, ~~a~~ , and begin with a re�ection on how we have carried our our service this year. We missed out in vital funding and we did wonder if we would manage to keep the charity going on a voluntary basis.. Which happily we where and that mainly
goes down to the drive, determination and sel�ess acts of our charity founder - a ( so thank you!).
Our biggest call for help!, in the �rst year of being a charity came on Friday 20th October 2023, our local community where left devastated as a massive �re ripped through six houses in the Whitehills area of East Kilbride. The devastation it caused to the families involved was major and Reach Out where one of the charities who where able to help. We received a message to our Check-in phone from a member who used this service, She alerted us to the devastation taking place and we of course o�ered to help in anyway we could.
Another big Thank you!, to ~~a~~ at the EK Collective. We sent a message to who kindly allowed us to use room 28 as a donation drop o�/ pickup point. sent a message to ALL members within the building and soon we where inundated with donations. A special Thank to
our wonderful volunteers ae for their fast action and all hands to deck approach. Many from our local community rallied round and not only did we help with pre-loved goods, we where also able to collect new items to be passed on, and o�er food donations too, and importantly we where able to extend our help to o�er emotional support to anyone a�ected by the �res, a safe, warm space to come and speak openly about the devastation they've just experienced.
We Welcomed our new Logo this year, which we feel suits our charity vision. Our members where given the hard task of deciding which logo to choose and we are delighted the majority chose this one, as it was most of our favourites too.
Our vision in our �rst year as a registered charity was to grow organically, as the need for our services increase and i feel this is what is happening, again going back to what a said previously, we now have had to introduce a waiting list as we don't have enough trained support volunteers to help, which will be a main priority going forward this year.
I have enjoyed watching Reach Out Community Wellbeing and Support grow, and wish and the team All the very best in their future, as i am stepping down from my role as Chairperson, due to personal reasons. I will keep in touch and look forward to hearing / seeing all the wonderful things you do for the Community.
All the very Best
Vice Chairperson - Reach Out Community Wellbeing and Support SCIO SC052710
Our First Year in Numbers from our Treasurer Our performanco this y8arwas good, we had a small turnover, which was all rgadyforecasted to be. We didn't use ourfirst year as a charity to raise a massive amount offunds as this was not needed. We only required funds to help us run on the basic of needs. such as room hire. rates for our room at the EK Collective. fuel. refreshments forservice users19roup members. to hold events and any crisis orspecial requests from our service users. Our main strategy in ourfirst yearwas to build our charity with a secure foundation. taking time to have all processes and paperwork in place. We mainly offered help through our emotional support services and crisis support along with our check-in service. Our aims forthe next yearwill be to recruit a fundraiser andlor a funding person. so they can concentrate on raising the much needed funds to allow us to grow and help more people/families within our community. We hope to put on more community engagement programmes and events also. Currently we receive 3 main sources of funds through our Charity. Without these revenues we would be unable to offer this type of support to people. EK Comm Food Bank Donations R.O.C.W.A.S Fundraising A.
