GROWING FORWARD FOR FUTURE GENERATIONS A “trellis” is more than just a metaphor for support.

It’s a guide for how we choose to dig in creatively and work towards generational change.

4

Whether providing longer term intensive support or there for a brief moment when it’s most needed, we work to strengthen economic stability, well-being, mental health and belonging. Without stability in each of these areas, people are at risk of continually cycling through poverty, homelessness, unemployment and mental health challenges. Trellis provides a holistic blend of services that ensure individuals and families have what they need to go beyond the complex challenges they face and achieve lifelong well-being and success.

Over the last five years, the cost of rent in Calgary has increased by 25%. More than 80,000 households are in need of affordable housing options and one in ten of them are at risk of homelessness. Last year, Trellis supported over 2,000 individuals in their journey out of homelessness or prevented them from losing their homes. This was a 44% increase from the year before and we’re committed to continue addressing this growing need through proven and innovative solutions.

But it takes more than a house to help someone overcome homelessness and poverty. To be successful and keep a home, a person needs essential life skills such as knowing how to access benefits and cost-saving services and how to manage their money. They need confidence and skills to find a job and keep it. They need coping strategies to manage their mental health so they can keep functioning every day to go to work, put food on the table and maintain their home. They need friends and family around them so they have people to go to when they are struggling and need a hug or a friendly ear. They need support to parent positively and proactively so their children can grow up feeling loved and supported to learn and grow.

So many people take these things for granted in life.

But many others have grown up in chaos and with trauma,

without access to these resources. This is why Trellis is investing in a whole person and whole family approach.

To ensure people have all the necessary skills and supports to never end up homeless again and their children will not face those same challenges in the future. This is generational change.

People facing challenges need a friendly face and easy access to services like those offered at Trellis. To better meet today’s complex challenges, Trellis’ new Strategic Plan focuses on simplifying our organization so we can better serve. With the support of the community behind us, we’re making it easier for everyone to get the services they need, when they’re needed most. From housing to work experience, early childhood development to high school graduation, and everything in between, the team at Trellis works every day to provide supports that will make an impact today and long into the future. In the last year, Trellis has grown beyond what we’d ever dreamed, and as you read more in this year’s report, please know that it wouldn’t be possible without your support. Thank you!

We’re so excited to keep growing with you!

CULTURAL SUPPORT & SERVICES Trellis Circle Keepers support the well-being and cultural connection of people accessing our services across the organization. They come from different Indigenous backgrounds and are gifted the rights to different teaching and ceremonies.

support the needs of Indigenous participants. Our teams continue to grow through intensive staff training about colonization and understanding the impacts of intergenerational trauma. Additional land-based teaching and access to ceremony for staff empower them to be allies to Indigenous communities and grow an organizational culture committed to Truth and Reconciliation.

Circle Keepers are connectors, teachers and cultural translators. By building bridges between our services and Indigenous communities (including Elders, Knowledge Keepers, and traditional healing practices), program participants are holistically supported to improve their overall well-being and sense of identity. When people are encouraged and guided through ceremony and traditional teachings, opportunities naturally occur to grow positive relationships and community networks.

Facilitated 499 cultural ceremonies and activities.

Our four Circle Keepers work across a broad range of services alongside Trellis staff to build capacity to better

Provided 97 instances of direct support to staff.

Supported and fostered relationships with 26 Elders and Knowledge Keepers from the community.

[Circle Keepers have] been huge for our families. Integrating a spiritual component to the work we do that is culturally appropriate is so impactful for families. We have received direct feedback from participants about how certain ceremonies have been so crucial in their journeys, allowing them to move forward. Home Fire ceremonies during move-ins, smudging and prayers after traumatic events in their homes, sweats and connection to elders.

Impact Story: Housing Supports

SUCCESS IN HOUSING NEEDS A WHOLE PERSON APPROACH When *Leslie reached out to Trellis, she was about to be homeless. She was barely getting by with a job and renting a room that left her with only $80 after rent to pay for food and other necessities.

Leslie lost her job when her abusive partner became so controlling that he wouldn’t let her go to work. Her mental health suffered and she felt alone because her partner had also isolated her from family and friends. Then her partner caused property damage to her home and her landlord asked her to move out. Leslie found herself scared, unemployed and about to be homeless.

Leslie was connected to our housing team, but we knew she needed much more than a roof over her head to flourish long term. While looking for new housing, Leslie’s worker helped her reconnect with family and friends who could add to the emotional support she needed. With the extra support, Leslie felt strong enough to leave her abusive

relationship before moving to the new home her worker found for her. It was a room for rent for only $495 a month so she could also afford to buy groceries. With a safe place to live, Leslie found a job at Starbucks and after a short time was offered to take a more senior position. Leslie’s next goal is to get her own one-bedroom apartment and continue working on her mental health, which Trellis is supporting with. Feeling much happier with the turn her life has taken, Leslie is now looking forward to enrolling in University one day.

There are often myriad circumstances that contribute to homelessness – it’s not just bad luck that happens to some people. Usually, it’s a combination of circumstances that can include poverty, domestic violence, unemployment and mental health challenges. Leslie’s story is only one of many. This is why Trellis works from a whole person approach – because if we only solved the symptom of homelessness, people would never get a chance to heal and grow beyond the challenges they face. * Name has been changed to protect the identity of the program participant

Trellis has helped me most with emotional support and resources.

This made me feel safe to be vulnerable and ask for help with what I really needed, especially the uncomfortable things. I could never have imagined my life coming back together after losing everything!

Impact Story: Community Well-Being Supports

FINDING SAFETY AND SUPPORT AT BOWNESS HUB The Bowness Hub is a cornerstone of the community, providing young people and families with a safe place for programming, resources and support.

At Bowness Hub, we know relationships are key to helping young people and families achieve their dreams.

For one family, the Bowness Hub made a huge difference during an incredibly challenging time in their life.

Sam, a stay-at-home mother of eight children, moved to Bowness from the United Kingdom 16 years ago. She and her family settled into the neighbourhood and enjoyed the tight-knit nature of the community. Seven years ago, when her daughter was struck by a car and passed away, Sam found a place of safety, solace and support at the Bowness Hub. After her daughter’s passing, while she was extra protective of her children, she always knew they were

safe when they were at the Hub’s after school program.

Each year, on the anniversary of her daughter’s death, Sam’s family has a tradition of drawing red hearts on their faces. When Sam went to the Hub that day to pick up her children, she was beyond touched to see that all the Trellis staff and the other children had also drawn red hearts on their faces too. Today, her younger children continue to attend after school programming, and through a subsidy grant from the Calgary Flames Foundation, she was able to send one of her children to a Trellis summer day camp. Sam has also shared how grateful she is for the staff’s support of her teenage son who is transgender. Knowing her children have a safe and inclusive space where they are cared for has helped Sam feel confident returning to school and working towards becoming an Early Childhood Educator.

The Bowness Hub is “like a second family,” Sam says.

“Every one of the staff have such amazing personalities and souls. I can’t speak highly enough of them.”

I feel very blessed and very humbled that we have Trellis in our area for my children. I know if I’m having difficulties because grief and trauma is a whirlwind, I could immediately reach out to Trellis. Because it’s not just for the children, it’s for the parents as well.

PARTNER SPOTLIGHT Growing deeper in our work through support from The Calgary Foundation The Calgary Foundation and their donors continue growing as an integral partner for Trellis and so many other community organizations doing impactful work.

The Calgary Foundation leverages the power of endowments and encourages donors to invest in the long-term future of our city and communities to cultivate lasting change, long after the initial gift is made.

At Trellis, these donations have helped young parents with emergency funds to purchase winter boots and food for their children and to renovate our group home for youth who have been victims of child sexual exploitation.

Most recently, the Foundation supported Trellis’ commitment to inclusion, diversity, equity and access (IDEA) practices.

This enabled us to take concrete action with a long-term strategy to improve IDEA across the organization.

Supporting Avenue 15 Youth Shelter, Employment programs, Anti-racism work, Indigenous Initiatives, Impact and Evaluation and other areas of greatest needs.

We are so grateful to The Calgary Foundation and their donors for supporting our work!

A LEGACY OF DEDICATION Celebrating a Remarkable Woman, Her Family & Their Commitment to Trellis Ruth Beddoe’s service to Trellis Society and the young people and families it serves is extraordinary.

Ruth realized a long time ago, as she sat with her husband, Clive, in a lovely restaurant, how privileged she was. As they enjoyed their meal, she could not shake the fact that there were children in Calgary who did not have the food they needed to grow. The very next day, rather than just thinking about this troubling fact, Ruth acted. She phoned the then Boys & Girls Clubs of Calgary (now Trellis Society), and asked, “What can I do?” This is when her volunteer journey began.

24

Since that day in 1993, Ruth has done it all. She has worked the phones, leveraged her networks, given transformational gifts, supported transportation and capital campaigns, championed leadership transitions and served as the Splash of Red Gala Committee Chair where she has consistently surpassed her annual goal every year. Ruth and her family built a strong matching program and multiplied the impact.

They would continue this generosity for the galas ahead.

To ensure that transportation would not be a barrier for young people and their families, Ruth and the Beddoe Family also purchased a 24 passenger bus for the Clubs.

This was another step towards community building and ensuring families could access services.

In 2018, Ruth and the Beddoe family joined community supporters to help renovate the historic Renfrew Hangar location that has been the home to Trellis for over 40 years.

And then when Boys & Girls Clubs of Calgary took a leap forward with an unprecedented non-profit merger in 2020 with Aspen Family & Community Services, Ruth and Clive were right there supporting the promise of this new bold agency by becoming Founding Partners.

Ruth leads the Splash of Red Gala to new heights Under Ruth’s leadership, Trellis’ annual gala event transformed from a modest gathering into a hallmark occasion that brought together her friends, her family and her connections, united by a shared desire to make a difference.

Ruth’s magnetic charisma, unwavering and tireless work ethic, and ability to mobilize support, played a pivotal role in shaping the event into the remarkable success it is today.

From knocking on corporate doors, to sharing her passion for Trellis’ services, Ruth volunteered her time during every month each year to raise awareness and funds for Trellis.

When the pandemic changed the landscape of fundraising, no one could have imagined what it would look like. Ruth showed endless and remarkable resolve to achieve the gala’s goals during a devastating and uncertain time. She led her committee with patience, motivating the members by thoughtfully acknowledging both their generosity and their desire to support Trellis. Ruth also rallied the community, and together they surpassed all previous records in fundraising. Thanks to this astonishing achievement, Trellis was able to provide thousands of warm night’s sleep for youth in shelter, diverted many individuals from homelessness, and supported families to stay together during the stress of the pandemic, while growing their resilience and hope for the future.

For over three decades, Ruth’s unwavering dedication as a volunteer and donor has raised over $8 Million for Trellis, touching countless lives. After more than 30 years of support, Ruth has stepped back from her leadership role.

Her legacy is not just in the funds raised but in the spirit of camaraderie, the connections forged, and the hope in the hearts of those who have been touched by her efforts.

This year, the gala committee will also bid farewell to Elaine Frame. In 2012, Elaine was invited by Ruth to join the committee, and has been a fantastic and dedicated support. Elaine’s enthusiastic efforts in securing auction items, selling tickets, inviting donations, and creating an environment full of fun and purpose, added greatly to every year she participated. Her love for the programs that support youth was evident in every conversation. Elaine’s presence will be missed on the committee going forward.

Recognition has not driven Ruth’s passion to help – in fact she deflects much of the praise and re-directs it towards her committee and her family. Since that night in the restaurant with her husband, Ruth has been driven by a deep desire to help young people and families facing challenges. Her passion has enabled Trellis to help hundreds of Calgarians to grow and flourish over the years.

In acknowledgement of Ruth’s legacy, we invite you to join us at the 2023 Trellis Society Soirée on Saturday, October 28th, where we will celebrate Ruth Beddoe and the Beddoe Family. Led by Chair Murlyne Fong and the Committee, the Soirée will return to the roots of the gala that Ruth created. The committee will ensure a celebration of unity, compassion, and meaningful change.

Their collaborative approach makes certain that the transition is smooth, the essence preserved, and the torch from Ruth is passed on seamlessly.

Last year, the community came together to raise

$797,285

for Trellis Society.
