Ian Burks, CEO, YMCA East Surrey – introducing the Annual Review 2021
“Welcome to this year’s annual review, which provides insight into the services we offer and the benefits we bring to the local community. I hope you enjoy reading about the inspirational people we have helped and how they have overcome challenges in their lives. The last year has been tough, with Covid-19 dramatically affecting the way we operate.
By April 2020, many of our services were in lockdown. This did not deter the team at Hillbrook who continued to house and support young people at risk of homelessness throughout the pandemic. Other work supporting children, young people and families was also able to continue, thanks to some creative use of technology by our staff teams. Although our gym was closed for many months, our Exercise Referral scheme went online, offering a vital lifeline for many adults who were shielding because of long-term health conditions. ”
