Impact Report 2024
2024 marked another milestone year. Following the release of our first-ever Impact Report at the beginning of our 30th anniversary celebrations, we launched a comprehensive review to understand and enhance our impact.
This included engaging with commissioners, the people we support, and the wider community.
We established an Impact Board comprising staff, individuals with lived experience, and family members, driving our mission forward with new Impact Statements and Impact Measures, which evaluate our work for People, Communities, the Environment and Engagement.
Together, we are redefining what success looks like, ensuring our work meets the growing and complex needs of those we support.
Measuring our social impact is more than a numbers game; it is a testament to the transformative power of our work and the value it brings to individuals, families, and communities.
All of our Impact work is underpinned by and aligned with our strategic objectives defined in our current organisational strategy, Plan B, which sets out what we will do to create a future where we are all connected and have equal opportunities to make our own choices and thrive.
Our second Impact Report reflects a year of growth, innovation, and reflection as we deepen our understanding of how we change lives. By tracking and evaluating the outcomes of our services, we are not just celebrating success but identifying where we can do more, do better, and ensure our mission is delivered with integrity and purpose.
Annual Report 2023-2024
The period 2023-24 was one of significant progress in our financial performance, underpinned by our unwavering commitment to empower individuals with learning disabilities and autistic people to have even greater choice and opportunity in their lives.
This was a year in which we were able to refocus on the delivery of our Plan B strategy, central to which is our shared ambition to take our place in building a society in which the people we support truly belong in their local communities.
The landscape in which we operated continued to present both challenges and opportunities. Political uncertainty prior to the General Election in summer 2024, the continued vacuum in national social care policy, and the financial challenges experienced by local authorities, all influenced the environment in which our services were delivered.
Despite this context, our focus remained steadfast on finding ways to extend our role and our contribution within our sector. By adapting our approaches, seizing opportunities for innovation and focussing on our core organisational strengths, we navigated the challenges we have faced and found new ways to improve our performance and impact.
The work we do and the people we support are the heart of our charity and we are proud to continue ensuring that everyone can live life to the full, both now and in the future.
