THE CARE FORUM (A COMPANY LIMITED BY GUARANTEE)
CHAIR'S STATEMENT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2023
The Chair presents his statement for the year.
This past year has brought continued success for TCF and one which we f l has strengthened our reputation
and also our "offering" to the sector.
Being one of three organisations awarded to deliver the Ukrainian resettlement project for South Gloucestershire has brought us challenges, success, and a lot of learning. We have received praise and recognition for our innovative and no nonsense approach to the challenges faced by recently displaced refugees, and as a result have been asked to expand this work to include supporting people who fled Hong-Kong.
We were delighted to be awarded the contract for social prescribing for part of Inner and East Bristol, with feedback from commissioners, practice managers and GPs all painting a positive picture of a valued service, delivering positive outcomes to significant numbers of people. We look to build upon and expand this work.
TCF have developed a number of lived experience and student placement opportunities which are diversifying insight and experience at strategic meetings. We are incredibly proud and thankful of all the volunteers, students and members by experience who help voice our communities' concerns and aspirations. This is clearly demonstrated in our work with those using substance misuse services, women who have experienced domestic abuse, our ageing well panels and our growing relationships with Academic institutes across our regions.
Part of our remit and focus is to be a key influencer regarding policy and practice in certain aspects of health and social care, with our CEO Kevin now invited to attend many strategic boards and indeed has been asked Co Chair the Inner City and East Locality Partnership Board Meeting. This role is key to not only TCFs continued relevance and success, but also other organisations who work in or sector
This year we have managed to retain some key contracts and have been successful in several bids for new work or re structured delivery contracts, thereby giving TCF as much financial stability as we can reasonably expect in today's climate of financial uncertainty.
Apart from dynamic and excellent leadership from our CEO we are also fortunate to have recruited dynamic, high performing and dedicated staff, and as trustees it is our desire and responsibility to ensure staff are valued and fairly rewarded. To this end we introduced TCFs first Pay Policy which sets out what staff can expect and the Board's commitment to ensuring we protect staff from the impact of high inflation when deciding cost of living awards
This year also saw the re branding of The Care Forum into TCF, recognising that we are a leaner organisation able to respond quickly to challenges and opportunities without being tied to inherited practices. Recruiting new staff has also helped re shape our culture and ethos
One challenge we continue to explore is trustee recruitment our current Board members are committed and dedicate but we are continually looking to bring on board new and different skill sets. I hope that 2024 will see this situation remedied, but I the meantime we soldier on proud of the organisation we serve as trustees and proud of TCFs achievements.
