Chairs Report 2020/2021

| am pleased to present this year’s Annual Report for your information and scrutiny. | hope you will take the opportunity to read the Trustees Report which summarises the key achievements of our charity over the last year and the Accounts which show the continuing solidity of our financial affairs.

It has been the most extraordinary year in the life of our charity. Like everybody else we have had to respond to the Covid pandemic and the restrictions that have been placed on all our lives. This has meant that we had to change the way we deliver our services to Carers and other vulnerable people who need our support and to ensure that our staff are working in a safe environment. We have continued to provide all our services and have been given the opportunity to grow them as we became the County Council’s nominated Community Support Organisation for the Ryedale area to offer support and services to residents during the pandemic.

In addition our charity has been the lead partner in the work towards a merger with Hambleton and Richmondshire Carers Resource. This has taken a considerable amount of work over the last year and the transfer of services and staff from that organisation will be completed on the 1st July 2021. Also changing in the coming year will be our name - to reflect our growing geographical footprint we will be making a formal name change to Carers Plus Yorkshire. It is our intention to grow and develop services in the Hambleton and Richmondshire area alongside our existing services in Scarborough, Ryedale and the East Riding.

| am pleased to report that his has been another very positive year for our Charity with a significant growth in the number of local people we have been able to support. Commissioners as varied as the County Council, the NHS, Children in Need and the Big Lottery have recognised the quality of the services we provide, and | thank them for their confidence in us. The quality of our services has also been recognised by the Carers Trust as we are now one of the few organisations to receive the Excellence for Carers Award nationally.

The Trustees Report below sets out the range of services we offer and describes some of the challenges we have faced delivering them during the pandemic.

As you can see from the accounts our financial position is very stable with a growth in our income over the last year. The bulk of funding comes from our commissioners, but we have been successful in developing donations and support from the local business and professional community. | would like to thank them for their support.

The demand for our services continues to grow and the difficulties faced by carers and other vulnerable people are well documented and exacerbated by the coronovirus pandemic. There is increasing pressure on the NHS and social services nationally and locally and our role is to complement and support the work of the statutory sector and to provide flexible and innovative services. The quality of our services is dependent on a skilled and committed team. | would also like to thank our staff team, Trustees and volunteers for all their hard work over the last year. Building on the skills and knowledge of our staff team is a key part of our long-term strategy of sustainability and growth.

| hope you find the Trustees Report and Accounts informative and that you will continue to support the work of our Charity.

Scarborough and Ryedale Carers Resource (A company limited by guarantee and not having a share capital and registered as a charity) TRUSTEES’ REPORT

The trustees present their annual report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 March 2021.

The financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006, the Charities Act 2011, the Statement of Recommended Practice for Charities and with the charity’s governing documents.

The trustees confirm that the charity has complied with the duty in Section 17 of the Charities Act 2011 to have due regard to public benefit guidance published by the Charity Commission. This report illustrates how the charity delivers public benefit.

This year has been an extraordinary year in our working history; the year has brought us some significant and unique challenges that have tested our resilience and adaptability like never before.

There have been many strategic and operational barriers to overcome, but there has also been some important consequential learning as we worked to resolve challenges met.

|

Our free services for carers and non-carers have continued to develop and extend, as well widen the areas we cover from Scarborough Borough and Ryedale District to East Riding of Yorkshire and soon Hambleton & Richmondshire — below is a list of all the services we now provide:

2020-2021 has been completely immersed in managing and navigating the Charity through unprecedented times. As the pandemic took hold and we were, as a nation, instructed to ‘stay at home’, we are proud to say we stepped up to the plate and empowered all staff to work from home within the first week - without losing functionality or connectivity with their peers, colleagues, and

clients. Plans for our 25" celebratory year were cancelled as a new priority swept our carer and wider community audiences.

The Board of Trustees has continued their unwavering commitment towards the charity using their wealth of experience to help guide the way forward; ensuring at every step of the way and through all periods of lockdown and restrictions, our staff team and clients have felt safe, supported and well-equipped to remain accessible (and open) throughout the year.

Investment in information technology and PPE, alongside additional staff time and staff welfare interventions were afforded through the generosity of many of our partners and funders as we secured additional COVID focused funding. This has been essential in the temporary and permanent operating procedures and adjustments we have made as an organisation internally, with partners and with our clients.

Over the course of this year, we have creatively continued to provide 1:1 support to 589 adult carers, 54 young adult carers and 133 young carers — across these services we have also provided many hours of virtual group support (a significantly extended and welcomed service addition).

We have also supported:

Together this represents a total of 4529 clients benefitting from direct support in this financial year. Some enquiries are answered in just one call, often involving supported signposting or referring to other services.

Adapting our services has been essential and in doing so we have recruited, trained and supported an army of volunteers to help with increased need to providea listening ear, reduce loneliness and keeping people connected.

It was important throughout the year to ensure we continued to represent the voices and needs of carers (and the wider community); we relayed to those who commissioned and funded services, the issues facing carers, and others, within local communities and developeda significant programme of digital learning that allowed the hardest to reach remained connected.

Covid-19 dominated our practices and thinking this year —- we developed clear risk assessments for each stage and phase of the pandemic’s journey. Whilst much of our work was confined to virtual and telephone contacts, we ensured those unable to access support in this way were supported through covid-safe alternatives. This flexibility has been invaluable in managing and supporting some of the extremely challenging and exhausted clients we have interacted with. As we reviewed the year and our impact, we have been able to better understand the increased contact time our staff team has given — reduced travel time and increased accessibility has afforded more contact hours much needed to support our clients this year.

TRUSTEES’ REPORT (Continued)
----- End of picture text -----

The increased use of IT and virtual connectivity has created a legacy from covid that will resonate with our charity and clients forever. We have been staggered at the resilience, patience and determination of clients young and aging, to get connected. Supported by the Carers Trust and Two Ridings Community Foundation amongst others, we have been able to purchase and distribute on ‘long loan’ wifi kits and Amazon Fire Tablets to many of our carers. Without this practical support, and the ‘doorstep IT training’ patiently delivered by the team, many Carers and others we support, would not have been able to connect to our organisation, other social options and most importantly family and friends.

Partnerships

Our collaborative partnership with Hambleton and Richmondshire Carers Centre (focused on the Young Carer and Adult Carer Services) has developed over the course of the year into a formal joining of forces. With support from the NYCC Stronger Communities team, our two separate charities have worked towards becoming one organisation in 2021-2022. In early May 2021 we saw the first step of this development resulting in SRCR adopting a new name ‘Carers Plus Yorkshire’, colleagues (and core contracts) from Hambleton & Richmondshire will join us on 1* July 2021.

We have continued to develop partnerships with many existing and new organisations and funders including: The Carers Resource (Harrogate), healthcare professionals (including NHS Trusts, PCN’s and CCG’s), the Armed Forces Covenant Fund, Carers Trust, The Big Lottery, BBC Children in Need, Triangle Trust, as well as colleagues from within the VCSE (locally, regionally and nationally).

Our Senior Management Team has been transformed over the course of the year, now established to build on the strengths of our core managers and distributing the operational management of the organisation appropriately. This has allowed the Chief Executive Officer the ability to focus on the Charity’s longer-term future and strategic direction with the Board of Trustees. Within the SMT we now have: Business Development Manager (Deputy CEO), Office and Finance Manager, Service Manager and Quality Assurance lead.

Adult Carer Service

We have had over 1144 enquires from carers and professionals for information and support. Each year, and more so this year due to Covid 19, we note that the complexity, level of need and intensity of case management is increasing.

This year we have experienced a particular spike in carer enquiries around mental health care needs (for both the carer and cared for); we repeatedly heard of needs not being met effectively by statutory services due to increased demand for services and limitations/restrictions imposed throughout the pandemic. To address this need within our service, we supported the staff to gain additional training and skills to ensure they were equipped to manage the increase in demand and intensity of contacts. We also ensured they were supported with a strong welfare provision.

The first point of contact for all carers continues to be through our ‘carers advice line’, we increased the availability of this service to 5 days a week to meet demand, manned on a rota by experienced adult carer engagement advisors, a significant number of callers were supported with immediate and effective support.

Scarborough and Ryedale Carers Resource (A company limited by guarantee and not having a share capital and registered as a charity) TRUSTEES’ REPORT (Continued)

Covid brought about several adaptations to working practices, with advice and support predominantly offered via telephone contact or online, and for much of the year from our staff teams homes. As restrictions reduced, we adjusted and responded to covid-safe practices, where possible introducing garden meets and doorstep conversations.

More than ever, the need for carer group sessions (Caring with Active Confidence) were considered a priority; throughout the year fortnightly virtual sessions ensured social connectively helped to bring carers together, afford moments of respite and laughter, and broke, for many, extended periods of loneliness and isolation. Sessions were exceptionally well received, often seeing carers accessing and mastering IT for the first time and engaging in virtual sessions that shone a spotlight on the importance of self-care, emotional wellbeing and sharing stories and lockdown experiences.

Our undertaking of Carers Conversations (formerly Carers Assessments) helped to establish carers needs and shared actions/requirements to support carers throughout a very challenging year.

|

Young Carer Service

We provided support to 133 young carers across the Coast and Ryedale District in 2020-2021, which presents a continuing rise in the profile and engagement of young carers across our area.

As with the vast majority of all young people, young carers were out of schools for a significant percentage of the academic year; home schooling presented a challenging time for many of our families and young people, increasing stress levels at home and reducing respite from caring roles.

:

The Young Carer team worked hard to maintain communications with the young carer leads in education establishments and, where essential, worked to secure limited school places for those young carers who really needed to be in school in order to focus on their learning and gain respite.

The additional support from our Starfish project (funded by the BBC Children in Need) continued to be an excellent complement to the core service. The project afforded us to quickly develop a strong and frequent programme of online activities and intentions, including youth clubs, mindfulness practice, positive minds coaching, yoga, boxing, quizzes, healthy eating & creative arts to name few. These sessions were important to offer connectivity for many who were locked down in busy and demanding home environments.

The Young Carer’s Youth Council met frequently to help us review provision and ensure appropriate activities and interventions were developed. The feedback gained over the financial year from our young carers and their families, has been wonderfully positive. The development in young carers confidence/self-esteem during what has beena difficult year has been paramount to their resilience.

Young Adult Carer Project

Despite the pandemic limitations, our work with Young Adult Carers continued to flourish in year 2 of the BIG Lottery funded project. The project saw structured development in its 1-1 and small group activities and focused on young people aged 16-30 years old.

Scarborough and Ryedale Carers Resource (A company limited by guarantee and not having a share capital and registered as a charity) TRUSTEES’ REPORT (Continued) For some of the young adult carers, we observed that online opportunities were often more favoured and engaging for them — allowing them to connect as and when appropriate in a way that presented ‘least intrusive’ time commitments. Young Adult Carers are an incredibly responsible community of carers, dedicated to their ongoing learning/training and often very absorbed in their caring responsibilities (including parent carers who clearly had increased pressures to support and home school their children whilst managing their caring responsibilities — with no respite opportunities).

Virtual support was relentless, with a substantial cohort of young adult carers accessing regular ‘chat, chill & cuppa’ clubs to combat feelings of being ‘trapped’, heightened anxiety and loneliness. Small group activities, especially our internal ‘positive minds’ sessions proved powerful, allowing participants to establish a ‘tool kit’ of techniques to aid their emotional health. With the support of funding secured to combat the impact of covid, we were able to offer specialist external support through the services of a life coach who proved invaluable for those carers experiencing more significant challenges in managing issues associated with the impact of COVID.

Home from Hospital Service

March 2021 marked the completion of our third full year of delivery under the Home from Hospital contract. We remain a strong partner and subcontractor of The Carers Resource - Harrogate (who are the lead contractor for the overall North Yorkshire service).

The pandemic hada significant impact on the service during the course of the year; our staff team were unable to access the hospital sites and elective surgeries were halted - together this had the potential to drastically and immediate impact on our referral numbers. The team worked hard to keep connected with the most appropriate leads in GP surgeries, hospital sites and wider healthcare professionals - to their credit, referrals were lowered BUT remained sufficient to provide a valuable service. Through weekly attendance at multi-disciplinary meetings, the profile of the service remained high, and with adaptation the service, supported a number of essential discharges that contributed to much needed bed availability/capacity. The team throughout were prepared (with appropriate PPE) to continue an adapted service for covid positive discharges. The hospital regularly expressed their gratitude for this essential service at a very challenging time for the NHS.

In terms of service adaptation, welfare checks were moved from home visits to telephone, covid safe shops were maintained via ‘doorstep drops’ and partnership working with covid response teams allowed clients to receive a safe service. As restrictions eased in the latter part of the financial year, the team resumed covid safe practice and slowly but surely, they have accessed the hospital wards and discharge hubs seeing an increase in referrals.

In March 2021 our pilot East Riding of Yorkshire Home from Hospital Service was extended by 12 months, allowing this extended reach to be available until March 2022. The East Riding service continued throughout to havea visible presence in Bridlington Hospital.

My Neighbourhood Service

The My Neighbourhood service continued to thrive despite the pandemic; the team and our offer has responded commendably to the circumstances and needs of those referred into service.

Scarborough and Ryedale Carers Resource (A company limited by guarantee and not having a share capital and registered as a charity) TRUSTEES’ REPORT (Continued)

With the contracts focused on the reduction of isolation and loneliness across the Scarborough, as lockdown drove the potential for isolation higher and general community activity ceased. Whitby and Ryedale, the significant impact of Covid19 meant the service became in higher demand

Over the course of the last 12 months we have supported 357 individuals, albeit virtually. We have endeavoured to continue to offer innovative ways to engage those who seek new friendships and ways to connect. The year has seen significant growth in our volunteering provision - with existing and new volunteers trained and supported to offer virtual/phone conversations, complete essential ‘shop and drop’ services, and help us to establish covid-safe engagement opportunities such as letter writing, jigsaw and book swaps. Our contract partners Ryedale Carers Support have worked alongside us to ensure the service’s significant client base were all supported individually.

To the myriad of community groups we worked with pre-pandemic, we offered our support to the volunteer organisers and their immediate communities to ensure they remained connected and prepared to ‘re-start’ when government restrictions lifted.

Ryedale Community Support Organisation (CSO)

|

The CSO has been an additional function to our services this year. Focused on the Ryedale area and supporting over 1472 individuals and 1135 households. The service has contributed to the safety and welfare of Ryedale residents throughout lockdowns and restrictions by enabling those needing to self-isolate and/or clinically extremely vulnerable to access support such as shopping, prescription runs, befriending, pet care and financial support.

In addition the CSO has managed:

:

Though adjusting to the changing need of the locality, this service will continue throughout 2021 in the first instance as we work to support Ryedale residents to return to everyday life.

;

Fundraising

This year has been a unique year for both income and expenditure; bittersweet in terms of availability and securing funds and fundraising. The pandemic has prevented us from fundraising as planned for our 25" Anniversary year and for the developments we would have welcomed in any other ‘business as usual’ year (for areas such as social interventions/carer respite, substance misuse, sibling carers or parent carers).

However, in terms of much needed income to respond to the challenges of the pandemic, we have been grateful for the support offered by funders existing and new. Our existing funders offered unwavering support for our services to be adapted as needed, with no question of deferring

payments, reprofiling or reporting service changes. All current funders, without exception supported us to do whatever was necessary to support our clients.

We were fortunate to identify several new funds/funders to support with the increased cost throughout the year. These funds were welcomed and afforded the Charity:

In total we saw £132,788 that can be directly attributed to COVID related income. This income has helped to manage the challenges presented.

Future Strategy

Throughout 2020-2021 our organisation has worked alongside Hambleton & Richmondshire Carers Centre to plan and develop a formal joining of our charities. With the support of NYCC Stronger Communities we have worked through the crucial elements of due diligence, that has enabled the Boards of Trustees from both organisations to have the confidence to combine forces under the new name ‘Carers Plus Yorkshire Ltd’. In May 2021 we adopted the new name to services in Scarborough, Whitby and Ryedale, and from 1% July 2021, Carer services across Hambleton and Richmondshire will become deliverable through Carers Plus Yorkshire. The Senior Management Team at Scarborough & Ryedale Carers Resource have dedicated significant work hours to ensure all necessary actions were complete for this joining and the rebranding of the charities.

Ahead of these changes, Scarborough & Ryedale Carers Resource had produced a 5-year business plan (2020 — 2025), this plan will now be reviewed in light of the extension of our geography and be redrafted for 2022, when we will also be clearer about the retendering of the Carers Services contract (due to be tendered in September 2021).

For 2021-2022 our ‘living/working’ vision and mission are as follows:

Vision: Carers Plus Yorkshire believes unpaid carers and those we support in the wider community should feel listened to, supported and empowered to live their best possible life.

Mission: Carers Plus Yorkshire enables those we support to be heard, enhance their resilience, improve their wellbeing, and make positive changes in their day to day lives. Core Objectives: As we move forward and learn to live with the virus, our ambition is to help all carers and those we support in the wider community return confidently to their new everyday lives - as such, we believe our core objectives and values will remain as before:

Carers Plus Yorkshire: the ‘go-to’ organisation offering support to Carers and the wider community across the coast and vale.

Our Values matter

Financial review

As in previous years the charity has actively applied for funding for the general running of the charity and has kept a close control over its expenditure. These results reflect this policy, with the charity’s unrestricted funds showing a surplus of income over expenditure of £79,647 (2020: surplus of £51,678). The charity has used £8,199 of this surplus to cover overspends on projects. The largest overspend being £8,199 on the NYCC Young Carers Project. At 31 March 2021 unrestricted funds totalled £293,472 (2020: £222,024) which is above its stated reserves policy (below) and is held to cover any shortfalls in funding on its long running projects, as noted. It was agreed during the year to designate £45,000 of General Funds into the 2021-22 budget to contribute to service manager salaries and other associated costs relating to the merger with Hambleton and Richmondshire Carers Centre.

The charity, in line with the restrictions and timescales placed upon its restricted funds, has utilised the funds provided to it in the previous year. The results in these financial statements show a surplus of income over expenditure in the year of £84,064 (2020: deficit of income over expenditure £28,668). At 31 March 2021 restricted funds held by the charity total £135,498 (2020: £43,235) and these funds will be expended on their specific projects in the forthcoming financial year.

Investment policy

The Board of Trustees have considered the most appropriate policy for investing funds and has found that the CAF Charity Service meets their requirements for security of funds and achieves a competitive rate of interest as well as allowing easy access to the capital.

Reserves policy

The Trustees consider sufficient reserves should be held to fulfil their duty of prudence and to fulfil the cost and legal obligations to wind up the charity should it be necessary. However, it is the view of the Trustees that this must be balanced by the need to invest in services to fulfil our charitable purpose. The Reserves Policy was reviewed in March 2021 as follows:

  1. The Trustees consider that unrestricted cash reserves are required for the following reasons:

  2. a) To enable SRCR to maintain its core contracted services for a period of 3 months b) To provide for non-funded staffing costs such as redundancy, staff sickness or parental leave arrangements and from unforeseen compliance costs relating to new or changing legislation

  3. c) To provide alternative funding to meet any shortfall against a planned deficit budget d) Contractual obligations for current lease arrangements

  4. Amount of cash reserves to be held: The amount set for the above reasons will fluctuate annually, but as a general rule, the equivalent of 3 months running costs will be held.

  5. Cash reserves sufficient for the immediate future are already held and the Trustees will endeavour to maintain them at an appropriate level by taking account of future provision requirements when setting the annual budget.

  6. The Trustees will monitor the level of cash reserves when considering the quarterly reports from the Treasurer of the Board of Trustees

Cash reserves sufficient for the immediate future are already held and the trustees will endeavour to maintain them at an appropriate level by taking account of future provision requirements when setting the annual budget. Reserves are monitored by the Board of Trustees on a quarterly basis.

Scarborough and Ryedale Carers Resource

(A company limited by guarantee and not having a share capital and registered as a charity) TRUSTEES’ REPORT (Continued)

Key management personnel

Chief Executive Officer Elizabeth McPherson

Structure, governance and management Governing document

The organisation is a charitable company limited by guarantee, incorporated on 5 April 1995 and registered as a charity on 5 May 1995.

The company was established under a Memorandum of Association, which established the objects and powers of the charitable company and is governed under its Articles of Association. Under those Articles, the trustees of the charity are elected at the Annual General Meeting to serve a period of three years, subject to ratification at each Annual General Meeting.

.

Appointment of trustees, induction and training

Identification of potential new Trustees is assisted by a skills audit of the current Board. Any gaps in skills or experience can then inform targeted recruitment. Scarborough & Ryedale Carers Resource is a member organisation and as such, any member can be nominated and elected to be a Trustee at an AGM. New Trustees can be co-opted by the Board at any time through the year, co-opted Trustees are then nominated and elected at the next AGM. The recruitment process is by written application and interview with the Chair and Chief Officer. The Chair then recommends their nomination or co-option to the Board.

Newly appointed Trustees are registered with both the Charity Commission and Companies House. They undergo full induction into the organisation, including shadowing staff to get first-hand knowledge of work ‘on the ground’. Relevant and appropriate training is on-going.

Organisation

The board of trustees administers the charity. The board normally meets quarterly. A Chief Officer is appointed by the trustees to manage the day-today operations of the charity. To facilitate effective operations the Chief Officer has delegated authority, within terms of delegation approved by the trustees, for operational matters.

Related parties and co-operation with other organisations

None of the trustees receive remuneration or other benefit from their work with the charity. Any connection between a trustee or senior manager of the charity with any contractual relationship with a related party must be disclosed to the full board of trustees. In the current year no such related party transactions were reported.

The charity has a collaborative partnership with Hambleton and Richmondshire Carers Centre which in 2014/15 secured the North Yorkshire County Council and Clinical Commissioning Groups three year Carers Information and Support Services Tender for both young carers and adult carers. The contract has been extended for the maximum time and is due to end in June 2021.

Pay policy for senior staff

The trustees and the Chief Officer comprise the key management personnel of the charity in charge of directing and controlling, running and operating the charity on a daily basis. All trustees give their time freely and no trustee received remuneration in the year. Details of trustees’ expenses and related party transactions are disclosed in note 8 to the accounts.

The pay of the Chief Officer is reviewed annually.

Risk management

The Board of Trustees have identified the major risks to which the charity is exposed. These are reviewed continually as are the systems established to mitigate those risks.

Responsibilities of the trustees

Company law requires the trustees to prepare the financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and of the incoming resources and application of resources for that year. In preparing those accounts the trustees are required to:-

The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006 and Charities Act 2011. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

Scarborough and Ryedale Carers Resource (A company limited by guarantee and not having a share capital and registered as a charity) NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS for the year ended 31 March 2021

  1. MOVEMENTS IN FUNDS

Purpose of restricted funds

Carers’ grants enable local/regional/national grant giving organisations to support carers’ identified needs and provide much needed financial assistance to them and their families. These are funds held on behalf of the carers.

Big Lottery Fund — Reaching Communities is a four year grant towards the costs of a further project to support adult carers (16 — 35 years old). This project finished in July 2019, the closing balance as shown at 31°* March 2021 of £684 is made up of fixed assets to be depreciated in future years.

NYCC Young Carers is the contract with NYCC for providing a support service to Young Carers from 8-18 years of age. Trustees recognise that this project needs to be subsidised by our unrestricted reserves.

Action Towards Inclusion was originally a three-year grant funding to assist organisations to support vulnerable people (including carers) who are facing all sorts of barriers in returning to work, training or education. The lead partner is Your Consortium, and the funding is part of the national Building Opportunities programme which is jointly funded by the Big Lottery and European Social Fund. Delivery on this project finished in September 2019; we were lucky to receive an extension of the project for a further 3 years and then a second extension of 9-months to secure the project up to June 2023. The closing deficit as shown at 31* March 2021 of £1,845 plus depreciation to be charged in future years of £197 gives a total deficit of £2,042 which will be covered by future funding.

NY Sport — Tackling Inequalities is a fund aimed at developing a programme of Health & Wellbeing to Young Carers aged 8 — 18 and to help fund the costs of the Adult Caring with Active Confidence Sessions. The closing balance as shown at 31° March 2021 of £3343 is to be used in the 2021/22 financial year.

Capital Grants were grants received to cover the cost of new computer equipment and furniture. The balance on the fund at the end of the year is the net book value of the computer equipment and furniture included on the Balance Sheet under Fixed Assets. The closing balance as shown at 315* March 2021 of £86 consists of fixed assets to be depreciated in future years.

Wellbeing and Prevention service — working title of ‘My Neighbourhood’ — funded by NYCC, My Neighbourhood connects communities and provides support to people who may be isolated, lonely or need a bit of extra help. The service is for anyone aged 18 or over, not necessarily a carer and is delivered in partnership with Ryedale Carers Support. The closing balance as shown at 31*t March 2021 of £18,900, consists of fixed assets of £1,405 to be depreciated in future years and a useable fund of £17,495.

|

Home from Hospital is a service for anyone aged 18 or over, to provide short-term help to those who are returning from hospital and need some support. Help includes anything from essential food shopping to organising ongoing support with other agencies. It does not provide personal care. SRCR are subcontracted by Harrogate Carers Resource to deliver Home from Hospital in the Scarborough, Whitby and Ryedale areas. The closing balance as shown at 31% March 2021 of £25,688, consists of fixed assets of £1,092 to be depreciated in future years and a useable fund of £24,596.

Youth Loneliness Project is funded by the Co-op Foundation and allows for activities and workshops around young carers managing their emotions around loneliness.

Carers Respite Support & Development Fund (YAC) is to develop a ‘Young Adult Carer (YAC) Library’ that will provide an online reference platform hosting many of the tools, skills and confidence-boosters needed to give our YACs the very best start to their future social mobility and progression. The closing balance as shown at 31* March 2021 of £1,000 is to be used in the 2021/22 financial year.

Young Carer Projects are funds provided by various organisations, individuals and collections specifically for work with Young Carers. The funds will provide the resources for varying purposes from fun activities to structured workshops. One of the major funding pots was provided by the Malton & Norton Rotary which let Young Carers access pots of money to aid with well-being, support with the impact of their caring role and building self-confidence. Other funders include The Mayor’s Community Fund and the Whitby Endeavour Rotary. The closing balance as shown at 31° March 2021 of £7,218 to be used in the 2021/22 financial year.

The closing balance as shown at 31st March 2021 of £10,125, consists of fixed assets of £345 to be depreciated over future years plus a useable fund of £9,780.

Hospital 2 Home is a new contract with East Riding of Yorkshire Council, providing a service similar to Home from Hospital in North Yorkshire. Short-term help for those who live in the East Riding of Yorkshire, mainly Bridlington and Driffield areas, being discharged from hospital. The contract was originally a 12-month project; we were fortunate enough to have the contract extended a further 14 months to finish March 2022. The closing balance as shown at 31st March 2021 of £1,062, consists of fixed assets of £629 to be depreciated over future years and a useable fund of £433.

Caring with Active Confidence is for carers 18+ years old, to come together to gain peer support and share experiences. Sessions are planned with carers involvement and carers help to facilitate the group as volunteers. These sessions have been mainly running virtually through Zoom when Covid-19 has prevented any face-to-face sessions. The original funding for this project came from a Carers Trust grant and we managed to secure further funding from 2 Ridings to extend sessions into 2021. The closing balance as shown at 31% March 2021 of £1,673, consists of fixed assets of £224 to be depreciated in future years and a use2bie fund of £1,445.

Winter Volunteering from NHS Humber was funding for the deployment of a volunteer coordinator to recruit and focus volunteer support in Malton Hospital. The funding originally covered 4 months over the winter period until 31°* March 2021, but we were fortunate to have this extended a further 6 months.
