ANNUAL REPORT April 2021 to March 2022

What a Challenge that was!! A year no one will forget, as much as we would like to. However, it was two years of adaptation, innovation, and absolute inspiration when you look at everything we achieved together. The global pandemic hit just as our new year started and everything stopped for a short while in 2020, including our AGM’s. Now we are back and stronger than ever for the experience.

Our activity groups are up and running, in fact they are busier than ever with more people anxious to get out of the house and meet up with people again. All of our other services continued throughout the pandemic with some obvious restrictions as you can see in the pictures.

Mask wearing and doorstep conversations became the new normal as we adapted and innovated to continue with our core services of support to the older people in our communities.

One of our Trustee’s, Peter, decided to take the opportunity for a garden tidy up.

CHAIR OF TRUSTEES REPORT

I think we can agree that the last couple of years have been a massive challenge for everyone.

A global pandemic certainly focuses the mind on what is important in life, especially when everything is locked down and unable to meet those closest to us.

Throughout this year our centre has gradually reopened to visitors and our activity groups have safely opened again. We have followed the guidance from Wigan Council, to protect the staff and volunteers.

Having maintained our core services of Homesafe, TLC (shopping), Books & More, and responded quickly to help those vulnerable isolating residents of the Borough with our food parcels, moving out of lockdown has been easier for us than most organisations.

Counselling continued to be a service in demand with referral numbers rising rapidly. We are currently seeing 30 clients per week, with a three month waiting list in operation. This is supported by Wigan Council building on our very successful partnership with them. This helps us deliver our excellent service to older residents across the Borough of Wigan and Leigh. Pensioners Link have been providing this service for 34 years.

My thanks must go to the volunteers who continued to work tirelessly for us, despite the challenges of lock down and the infection risk that was ever present. They were supported by our small team of staff members. The commitment of the whole team continues to be first class and make it such a pleasure to work for Pensioners Link.

Having lost a number of volunteers this year, as many are still not confident to mix with others, we need to recruit more. Why not come along see what we do and enjoy yourselves, working with such a great, motivated team.

BOOKS & MORE

Volunteers deliver library books to isolated and vulnerable people that otherwise cannot access normal library services. These people would not normally see

anyone on a regular basis. The overarching aim being to deliver library books plus offer the opportunity for a chat with the volunteer for up to one hour, they

provide help and support in accessing other services from within the community e.g. accessing Community Book and or using their own devices such as iPad and tablets.

The service was launched in July 2019. In the first year we received 47 referrals from various routes including self or family members, library staff, The Stroke Association, Community Link Workers and our own Homesafe service. We also welcomed 9 additional volunteers to our team.

Since the Libraries reopened to us we have received a substantial donation of large print books from them (22 boxes in total). These are very popular with our older readers.

Further help given

HOMESAFE and Time Limited Contact Scheme

Throughout the year, we have continued working in partnership with Wrightington, Wigan and Leigh NHS Foundation Trust and Wigan Council delivering HOMESAFE which offers support for vulnerable patients to go home and settle safely. The service ensures the patient is accompanied home by a volunteer using appropriate transport and providing a “Welcome Home” bag of essential food items when needed. In delivering the service, the team of volunteers and staff focus on encouraging independence and also promoting community connection.

To continue supporting people over 50 in the community, we also offer a Time Limited Contact Scheme, a team of volunteers provide help with the shopping for 6 times. This service gives people over 50 who have been discharged from hospital or through changing times an opportunity to get back on their feet and organise their daily needs in the future. As a result, our Time Limited Contact Scheme has successfully reduced stress and anxiety.

We are actively signposting to various services and organisations such as Books and More, Time Limited Contact Scheme, Welfare Rights Team, Single Access Point, Central Duty Team, AWARM, AGE UK Wigan Borough, Community Meal iCare, Greater Manchester Fire Rescue Service, Greater Manchester Transport Service , Leigh and Atherton Food Bank and local groups. This enables patients to stay independent, healthy, confident, and feel safe to live in their own home.

I would like to say a huge thank you for our team of volunteers and staff who give their heart, time and commitment in delivering an excellent service.

Summary of TLC by Service Areas as at 31/03/2022

During the pandemic and lock down we maintained all of our services, with some obvious adaptations to meet social distancing requirements to keep our staff and clients safe.

In addition we were one of the first organisations to respond with food parcels to the elderly isolating clients of the Borough. Over 300 parcels were handed out.

Our other services and groups

Counselling

We have a team of counsellors offering a free counselling service to anyone over the age of 50 years old. They can be referred by anyone including self referrals and would normally involve six sessions with the counsellor (although this depends upon the clients needs). It is entirely confidential as no records are retained by Pensioners Link, they remain with the individual counsellor .

Whilst we try to keep our waiting list for this service short it can take up to six weeks as the demand is very high.

Digital support group

Meet every Monday 10 am until 12 pm for any type of digital advice, for example, how to get best use out of your tablet device, computer problems, smartphone advice. The sessions are informal and based around individuals needs.

Genealogy

Searching clients family history using our computer suite, allowing clients to build their family tree and discover their past.
