Company activities and impact

In the space provided below, please insert a general account of the company's activities in the financial year to which the report relates, including a description of how they have benefited the community. Willow Tree Children's Support CIC has continued to provide much needed family illness and bereavement support for children and young people living in rural communities within the Rother area. We are so grateful to continue to be a recipient of National Lottery Funding which enables us to provide free support for all families, reducing financial barriers to seeking support. Our network of local fundraisers and supporters has further increased in the last year ensuring a more cohesive community approach to providing timely support at the earliest opportunity for those we are helping. As demand increases for the service that we provide, we have been able to fulfil more support session hours with thanks to our network of community supporters which has proved invaluable when whole school communities have experienced a collective sad time. Through external evaluation we continue to plan and reflect upon the challenges that may arise and introduce policies and procedures that help shape and inform the service that we provide. This ensures that we can provide consistency and parity for all.

Consultation with stakeholders

Consultation with our stakeholders is a vital part of the Willow Tree approach to providing support in a way that is impactful and meaningful to our local community. We believe that the children and young people we support are our most important stakeholders. They are able to plan for and shape the support sessions provided for them and also if they would like to access help on an individual basis or in small peer groups, ensuring they can feel comfortable in the space provided. We have devised a variety of ways to capture their voice regarding feedback about the support they have received, and these valuable insights continue to develop and improve the service that we offer. With our network of families, schools and other professionals we have devised a feedback system that can be accessed during and after support in a way that is inclusive and adaptable. Whether this is written or verbal feedback we can then include their thoughts and feelings in our future planning. For example, schools currently appreciate that the service that we provide is face to face and that they can refer for individual children and young people at the earliest opportunity. This year we have developed a school agreement that outlines the necessary requirements to plan for individual support that meets all needs. Some families prefer using text messages rather that emails and this means they can feel included in a way that is helpful for them. The support from our grant providers, community fundraisers and local donators has helped to further establish our presence in the local area in a number of ways. We provide ongoing reports, assessments and consultations with our funding stakeholders and this process helps us to reflect upon the growth and development of our service in both a financial and professional way.
