We’re proud to share our 2025–2026 Impact Report with you; a celebration of the difference that we have made in peoples’ lives through the work that we do every day across Buckinghamshire and East Berkshire.

Over the past year, we’ve reached 6347 individuals through a wide range of mental health interventions. Our services exist to support better mental health and help people stay well. As this report shows, for many, our support has been life-changing — and for some, even life-saving.

We’re especially proud that: 82% of people we supported felt less isolated and more connected; 91% reported an improvement in their overall wellbeing and 83% felt better equipped to manage their own mental health.

We’ve been delighted with the very positive feedback about our services from the people we support. Here are just a few examples:

It has improved my life in every way.

The service has had a significant positive impact. It has been a major source of support. I’m not sure where I would be without it.

With the goals I’ve achieved in these sessions and seeing how far I can get, it’s meant a lot to me. It’s given me a really positive outlook on my future.

We have been able to maintain the high quality of our work and still make a significant difference in peoples’ lives despite the fact that, over the last year, an increasing number of the people that we support are facing more complicated challenges.

None of this would be possible without the vital support of our funders, donors and partners, as well as the tireless commitment of our staff, volunteers and Trustees. Their resilience, passion and dedication have carried us through another year of significant challenges.

We know that there are going to be further challenges in the year ahead, but we also see opportunities to do more for our community. We are well placed to grasp these opportunities because of our great team, our values, our collaborative culture, our flexible approach and the insights that we bring.

These strengths are what make us distinctive, resilient and effective. They are the foundation of our success today and will continue to guide and sustain us as we grow, evolve and make an even greater impact in the years to come.

We hope you find our Impact Report informative and inspiring — and that you’ll continue to stand with us in ensuring everyone in our communities can access the mental health support they need.

Joel Rose, Chief Executive, and Lesley Michaelis, Chair
