SHEFFIELD CARERS CENTRE REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021

The trustees, who are also directors for the purposes of company law, present their report with the financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2021.

Structure, Governance and Management

Sheffield Carers Centre fs a company limited by guarantee and therefore does not have any paid up share capital. Each member of the company has, however, guaranteed an amount not exceeding £1. The Centre is also an Independent local charity (registered charity no 1041250).

The Board of Trustees are responsible for managing the business of the organisation, safeguarding the charity's assets, managing Its funds and ensuring Sheffleld Carers Centre carries out the charity's purpose as defined In Its Articles of Association. At the end of March 2021 Sheffield Carers Centre had about 400 members.

The Carers Centre’s governing document requires four of the trustees to be carers or former carers, and this requirement Is exceeded, with 6 out of 10 Trustees having current or former experience. The Trustees are also well networked Into key sectors in the city, Including Sheffleld City Council, the Sheffleld Clinical Commissioning Group, the NHS Teaching Hospitals Foundation and Health and Soclal Care Foundation Trust, the falth sector, the University of Sheffield and Sheffleld Hallam University.

The Board of Trustees usually meets a minimum of four times during the year and Is responsible for decision-making, with advice from the Chief Executive and any of the relevant sub-committees. The sub-committees (Finance and Resources; Quality, Outcomes and Performance Management and Corporate Governance) met regularly during 2020-21.

In addition, three Covid related Task and Finish Groups (resources, services for carers, staffing and volunteering) also met regularly until the autumn, and a further Task and Finish Group has been Involved in the more detailed work of preparing for the tender for the next carers’ service contract.

Sheffield Carers Centre Is a member of the Carers Trust national network. The main benefits this year have included keeping abreast with national policy and campaign developments, representation with national goverment on carers’ Issues, access to a wide range of information and resources on the Knowledge Hub and hardship grants for individual carers.

Risk assessment

The Board of Trustees has discussed, and reviewed, all of the major risks to which the charity Is exposed and has established systems to mitigate these risks. By maintaining the charity's reserves in accordance with the levels set out in the Financial Review, the charity will have sufficient resources to deal with any foreseeable adverse situations.

Mission and values

The charity's mission Is: to be the major independent charity offering support to Sheffield carers by providing high quality information, advice, advocacy and support and by reaching out to all carers to ensure that thelr needs are met. By carer, we mean a person who, unpaid, looks after or supports someone who is unable to manage alone because of frailty, disability or Illness. We belleve all carers should be recognised, valued and effectively supported to enable them to continue caring In the way they choose and to havea life of their own, regardless of thelr caring situation. We alm to be carer-focussed, professional, responsive and accessible to all carers.

Quality Accreditation

Sheffield Carers Centre achieved accreditation of ISO 9001, which is an internationally recognised Quality Management System.

TheOverviewof the year year 2020-21 has been dominated by three major disruptive Issues:

Tt has been a major achievement that Sheffield Carers Centre has maintalned service delivery to a high standard and without Interruption, adapted to respond to carers’ needs arising from the pandemic, re-located office and prepared extensively for the re-tendering of Its key contract with the Councll.

Covid Pandemic

The Carers Centre adapted quickly and effectively to the changes brought about by lockdowns and the shift to working at home, thanks to the commitment and adaptability of staff and volunteers and the posslbilities afforded by technology. Staff and volunteers began working at home from the beginning of the first lockdown In March 2020, At the same time processes for carers to access the services were adapted to maintain essential service delivery. A steep technological leaming curve was climbed to deliver all functions by phone and Internet from the homes of 19 staff, 10 Trustees and other volunteers.

Staff and volunteer sickness absence from Covid has thankfully been at very low levels, however there has been reduced staff and volunteering capacity for extended periods of time due to vacant posts and other Covid related circumstances. Due to the Isolation of working at home In exceptionally challenging circumstances, considerable attention was paid to the wellbeing of staff and volunteers, Measures Included additional leave for staff for a short period to compensate for dealing with often complex and distressing cases, new guidelines for working from home, wellbeing resources, a virtual ‘staff room’ for dropping in to see colleagues, and an online chat function for Internal communications, New protocols were put In place to ensure GDPR compliance and confidentiality for home working.

Tt has been a major achievement that the services have continued to be delivered without Interruption. A total of 54 volunteers remained Involved, though circumstances meant that some were ‘paused’, for example some volunteers could not carry out thelr role from thelr home, Three former employees came forward to volunteer thelr time making triage calls for several weeks.

Tender preparation

The main source of funding, a contract with Sheffield Council, was due to end In December 2021. There has been considerable work during the year to prepare for the competitive procurement process for the next contract, which was due to start in May 2021. This Involved an extensive review of existing provision, posts and structure, Ideas for improvements or new initiatives and competitor analysis. This work involved all staff and volunteers and carers, In particular the Board and management team. As a result, the charity was In a strong position of preparedness,

Premises

The lease on the office premises expired at the end of March 2021, The Board considered an options appraisal of future premises requirements, prompted by the possibilities of the new home working arrangements. A decision was made to maintain a city centre office base that would accommodate the existing staffing complement, so the search for new premises began In the autumn 2020. Suitable new premises were secured and the relocation took place at the end of March.

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021 - continued

Service Delivery

The Covid pandemic has had an enormous impact on carers, and the sectors, services, systems and activities that affect their lives, thus creating a ‘perfect storm’. The number of carers Is estimated to have Increased by around 50% (Caring Behind Closed Doors, Carers UK), they have been providing more hours of care, carrying out more caring tasks, and the activities and services that would usually enable carers to have breaks either shut down or were considerably reduced due to lockdowns and Covid restrictions.

Sheffield Carers Centre therefore quickly adapted its service provision to meet the needs of carers during these challenging times, focussing on providing trusted information about Covid safety, providing connection to other carers and online activities, access to emotional support and malintalning the Carer Advice Line and Carers Assessments,

At risk carers

One of the priorities of the first lockdown was to Identify which carers’ situations were at high risk of breakdown under the strain of the pandemic, The huge range of community activities and services upon which they, and the person they look after, depended, came to a halt. Many carers therefore found themselves providing more care with no means of getting a break. A list of most ‘at risk’ carers was drawn up and the Council made initial check-up calls, and the Carers Centre ensured that support, such as regular Community Connect calls, was put In place. This partnership working was highly valued by those most at risk.

The Carers Centre also contributed to another important piece of work with the Council, involving the roll-out of the Covid vaccination to carers. The data from the Carers Register was transferred securely to the Council, to then be passed to the NHS so that eligible carers would be invited for vaccination. This was carried out in line with the national requirement to share data to respond to the public health emergency.

Community Connect

Recognising that Isolation would be a major issue, the Carers Centre adapted the Community Connect service to provide ongolng support for a growing number of carers who were Isolated and would benefit from a regular check-In call from a volunteer. The number of carers who received the service almost doubled during the year, from 50 In the first quarter to 95 in the final quarter. Before the first lockdown there were 4 volunteers In the service, quickly jolned by Advice Line volunteers moving across to the role, bringing the number to 11 volunteers. Two rounds of recruitment brought the total figure to 25 volunteers by the final quarter of the year. Each volunteer called several carers on a regular basis (weekly or fortnightly). The total number of hours of support provided by the volunteers Increased from 282 In the first quarter to 641 in the final quarter. In addition, 5 volunteers delivered Christmas Goody Bags to 38 carers.

The quote encapsulates the value of this service:

*.« And mayI thank the Carers Centre for having this most wonderful and extraordinary service of a volunteer ringing In. This Is really and I cannot desist from emphaslsing It, this Is really the most important service for me In your portfolio. It is a great privilege and I am very grateful for the conversations with your volunteer, I always look forward to them, In general and especially now with the virus I feel this Is a key and Important part of my social network to keep me golng as I feel that I should continue to be in near lockdown simply to protect my mother. I do go out te do the necessary shopping, but that's about It almost. So thank you again for all of your hard and dedicated work!”

Digital and social exclusion

The issue of carers who, for a varlety of reasons, do not use the internet, became very significant during a period when being able to use the internet became an essential lifeline to Information and support. A grant from the Carers Trust enabled the Carers Centre to enhance Its support by purchasing 4 tablets for loan and producing the ‘Keep in Touch’ guide. The guide, which was viewed by 101 carers, encouraged carers to keep in social contact with others during a time of social distancing, and gave examples of how to do so with introductory Information about popular digital platforms such as WhatsApp and Zoom.

The Carers Café and other groups moved to meeting online, and the Community Liaison Coordinator and a volunteer provided coaching for carers to use Zoom so they could participate. The number of carers participating in online groups grew to 90,

Carers of People with Dementia

Carers of people with dementia were particularly affected by the pandemic restrictions. Additional project funding from the Cllnical Commissioning Group increased the Carers Centre's capacity to support those carers, and respond to an Increase In the number of referrals. During a five-month perlod 230 carers In this group received support, of whom 153 had not been In contact with the Carers Centre before.

Information and Advice

The provision of up to date and trusted Information during the pandemic has been of paramount importance, and was a particular challenge during the Initial crisis period when circumstances were constantly changing. In the first few weeks many Calls to the Carer Advice Line were about daily practical challenges such as how to buy food and worrles about belng stopped whilst travelfing to provide care during lockdowns.

Pandemic related Information also became the focus of much of the content in social media, website and Carers Enews for many months. A new Coronavirus webpage was created to provide a single place for trusted Information, Including links to Government guidance, information about the Covid vaccination, PPE and bereavement support. This was the fifth most visited webpage during the year, Indicating how much this was needed. There was considerable promotion of the emergency planning booklet and template plan to encourage carers to plan for such events.

The Enews was given a new format and sent to over 6,000 subscribers every month. An average of 440 people per edition ‘dicked’ on Items to read more about them. Items about the Covid vaccination and other Covid related items recelved the highest levels of engagement, Thanks to a grant from the Carers Trust, a one-off printed newsletter was sent to 5,000 carers who did not have emall addresses,

The Carers Centre has supported campaigns to address Covid misinformation and reach groups who were vaccine hesitant. During the roll-out of the vaccination programme, the Centre also took the lead In clarifying the processes by which carers would receive thelr Invitation, raising issues about the barriers that some carers experienced and communicating updates and Information with other organisations,

The Carers Trust Introduced a new brand during the year, which was applied across all digital and printed materials. This gave carers even more assurance that our Information and support was legitimate.

Having a Break

As stated earlier, the lockdowns and restrictions had a major negative impact on carers’ opportunities to have a break, which was reflected In the reduction In Time for a Break grants. Carers were encouraged to find more creative ways to take a break other than going away, and examples included subscribing to magazines, purchasing tablets and arts and craft materials, 266 carers recelved a Time for a Break grant, totalling £45,374. The quotes below demonstrate the value of the grants:

Sub-contracts

The partnerships with Citizens Advice Sheffleld and Sheffleld Mencap and Gateway continued to deliver specialist services, with their staff also maintalning service continuity whllst working from home. £163,346 additional Income for carers was secured,

Reaching new carers

Community outreach activities that contribute towards reaching new carers elther moved online or stoppedas a result of Covid restrictions, thus reducing some opportunities to raise awareness of carers. Nevertheless, 1,378 carers were added to the Carers Register, of whom 7% were from Black, Asian or minority ethnic groups.

Awareness raising, training, talks and presentations moved to online delivery, Sessions included training to mental health professionals working In primary care localities and staff In the Health and Soclal Care Trust, the Adult Safeguarding Partnership, the celebration of good practice in social care and pastoral workers In the Methodist Church. A webinar was recorded which has become part of the mandatory training for staff In Adult Social care, and the Centre contributed on carers Issues to a serles of ‘lunch-time learning’ sessions about dementia, Including diagnosis and dealing with crisis.

A communications campaign was delivered In Carers Week, working in partnership with Sheffleld Young Carers. A social media pack with key messages and Imagery was provided for other organisations to use, the Director of Public Health wrote a column about carers for a local newspaper,

The campaign was successful In Increasing our reach to carers, with 250 visits to the self-registration webpage and a large increase in carers making contact from posts on Facebook. Forty carers recelved a home delivered afternoon tea and activity pack during Carers Week.

Carers Rights Day

Twenty carers attended a webinar about carers rights delivered by the legal firm Invin Mitchell. Another joint awareness ralsing campalgn was delivered with Sheffield Young Carers, The CEO and a carer took part In live Interviews on BBC Radio Sheffield, with an emphasis on how Covid has impacted carers.

Carer voice and partnerships

The Carers Centre has continued to provide Information about consultations and other relevant opportunities for carers to have their say on Issues that are Important to them through the Have Your Say webpage, Enews and social media. It has participated In a variety of partnerships, bringing carers’ views and raising Issues.

Funding and Fundralsing

The events of the year have required significant investment in new premises and laptops and other equipment to enable working at home, Small grants from South Yorkshire Community Foundation and the Sheffield City Council Covid Response Fund have contributed towards some of the additional costs of the pandemic, however the majority of the funding has come from the Charity’s reserves. The Cutler's Charity launched a Covid response fund, from which a donation of £500 was given towards carers’ hardship grants,

Sickleholme Golf Club adopted Sheffield Carers Centre as the Club’s charity of the year for fundraising, just before the pandemic struck, Not to be deterred, the Club members still raised a total of £5,025. A portion of this was used for ‘treats’ that were delivered to carers In Carers Week and at Christmas, and the remainder will be used to provide social activities when safe.

Financial Review

The accumulated funds of the Charity at 31 March 2021 are shown In total In the Balance Sheet and details of the restricted funds are shown in the notes.

Unrestricted funds amounted to £333,844, but £48,096 of these has been designated for specific purposes as explained on page 20. This leaves free funds of £285,748. The trustees have considered the level of unrestricted funds which Is appropriate In order to safeguard the Charity’s activities and have conduded that this should be the equivalent of three to six months operational expenditure. The trustees have therefore set a target for free funds of a minimum of £225,000.

The main [tem of expenditure continues to be staffing, followed by premises and office costs. These are all directed towards the core objectives referred to above.
