2021 marks the start of our new organisational strategy which sets out our ambitions over the next five years. Following consultation with staff, stakeholders and service users we’ve set out 4 key priorities creating a framework which outlines what we want to achieve, what difference this will make and how we will measure our success. These priorities are; early intervention and prevention; inclusive services; suitable accommodation and sustainable organisation.
We are delighted to see that this year we have already made good progress against our targets. We are particularly pleased to see the development of two new services; SWAN, a project which provides practical and emotional support to women exploited by the sex industry, and a volunteering programme which has helped boost capacity in our organisation at the same time as developing the skills of our local community.
This year we’ve invested time in some major developments which we will see come to fruition in late 2022, including significant investment into our accommodation-based services and a new project working in partnership with South Wales Police.
As ever we would like to extend our heartfelt thanks to our staff, volunteers, board members and funders who are a critical foundation of our organisation. We are forever grateful for their commitment, passion and drive to ensure that our organisation is successful, viable and delivers impact for the community we serve.
