Adapt (NE) Annual Report 2024-25
Our latest Annual Report is now available, with highlights of our work across all of our projects here at Adapt (NE) during 2024-25.
Our Chair, Lorraine Hershon says, “The context in which charities are operating continues to be challenging in terms of finances and demand for services. Despite this, Adapt (NE) continues to deliver for local communities, acting responsively and innovatively to changes and challenges we have faced.
“During 2024/25 it has been encouraging to see our Social Prescribing offer develop, supporting more people to thrive, in a holistic and person-centred way. We have been delighted to secure the Advocacy contract for Northumberland and our skilled team of Advocates are working to support people to express their views, make informed choices, and secure their rights within health and care services. Healthwatch Northumberland has
continued to play a significant role in championing local voice and influencing NHS care services.
“Our partnerships continue to thrive, including our collaboration with EveryTurn on mental health outreach and a joint initiative with the Good Life Collaborative on independent travel training.
“Whilst we are not complacent, we remain deeply proud of the range of services we are able to deliver to communities in Northumberland and across the North East, as part of our mission to create more inclusion for people in the region. On behalf of the board, I pass particular thanks to Liz as she moves on from her role as Director, and we welcome Hannah as new CEO. Finally, thanks to the teams who deliver the work and who make our organisation what it is.”
