📣 Our 2022/23 impact report is now live!
Over this past year, High Trees has worked with more than 1700 individuals. We’re thrilled to share their journeys and successes in this year's impact report. From empowering individuals to fostering community connections, here are some of the highlights:
📈 Improving life conditions and prospects
635 adults were able to develop their skills by accessing at least one of our 80 adult education courses, with 154 of them gaining a new qualification. Through our employment and careers service, we also supported 115 individuals into employment.
🌱 Increasing wellbeing
Both adults and young people reported improvements to their wellbeing. 77% of adults taking part in our adult education courses reported making new friends. For young people accessing our coaching support in schools, 88% said they felt more confident and independent following our coaching sessions.
🤝 More connected individuals and communities
Our listening campaign on the Tulse Hill Estate led to 284 residents taking part and having their voices listened to. From this, 52 community leaders emerged and went on to receive mentoring support. Community leaders on the Tulse Hill Estate formed a dedicated resident’s group ‘Tulse Hill Estate Unites’. Supported by the High Trees Community Action team, the group has been campaigning to tackle structural damp and mould issues on the estate.
🌟 A stronger, more connected and collaborative VCS
This year we worked in partnership with fifteen other Lambeth-based organisations, across five distinct partnerships. Through the Lambeth Community Hubs Network we published 19 free resources, leading to over 400 downloads. As part of the Building Young Brixton partnership, we supported a total of 3,493 young people across Lambeth.
🔉 Communities with a stronger voice and ability to influence change
Through the Lambeth Peer Action Collective, 258 young people became engaged in social action projects. These activities followed on from the LPAC research on Understanding Young People’s Experiences of Violence in Lambeth. Residents from the Fields Estate were also supported in their engagement with local housing associations and in working towards setting up a TRA on the estate.
