TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021

ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE

This year, like everyone, we faced unanticipated challenges. We responded very well to the unexpected circumstances in which we all found ourselves with the coronavirus hit. We are very proud to say that we rapidly adapted our services. We have been resilient and devoted to the needs of our service users in the lockdown period. We continued to deliver health advocacy, counselling, mental health support, welfare advice services and group activities using telephone and online platforms.

We are now working hard to safely return to providing face to face services and to ensure that people are supported as effectively as possible.

We are pleased that Derman has helped 2,338 people and concluded 8,088 contacts or sessions in 2020-21 in these difficult times. We responded to our aims by delivering the following three main services to Kurdish, Turkish and Turkish Cypriot communities:

Bilingual Health Advocacy

This service forms a bridge between health professional/ the health system and service users. The Health advocacy service is the main point of access for the Turkish, Kurdish and Turkish Cypriot patients to the primary health care services and empowers patients through the provision of information on the availability of services, their rights and entitlements. We provided a service to 1,498 individuals and culminated 3,570 contacts from 13 different GP surgeries in Hackney.

The most common compiaints and conditions presented in 2020-21 financial year were as follows:

Welfare Advice

We provided a high- quality professional welfare advice service in partnership with Citizen Aavice Bureau (CAB) to Kurdish/Turkish and Turkish Cypriot communities. We supported them to tackle some of the issues that underpin the social determinants of health. Areas of support for our communities include welfare benefits, debt and housing. This service received more demand than we have the capacity to support.

We also were able to expand our welfare advice service to North London supported by City Bridge Trust the London Community Response Fund until the end of March 2021.

The Advice service has had another highly successful year with 369 people receiving help and concluded with 991 contacts.

Mental Health Service

Derman's Mental Health services provide a wide range of psychological treatment interventions for Turkish, Kurdish, and Cypriot Turkish adults with common mental health problems who have a low to moderate level of need.

Derman's Mental Health Service includes four projects:

¢ Improving Access to Psychological Therapies (IAPT): Derman has been an approved IAPT provider since 2016, delivering culturally appropriate psychological therapies for Turkish, Kurdish and Turkish Cypriot communities funded by City and Hackney CCG. Outcomes reported for IAPT service showed that people accessing talking therapies recorded significant reliable recovery using both the PHQ9 measure of depression and the GAD7 measure of anxiety. Derman IAPT recovery rate was 62% in 2020-21. This shows that we exceeded our target recovery rate of 50%. Derman's recovery rate is higher than the national IAPT averages.

« City & Hackney Mental Health Wellbeing Network

Derman is part of City and the Hackney Wellbeing Network which started in 2015. It is led by Mind with other voluntary sector agencies funded by LBH Public Health. The Network offers one to one counselling and a range of group activities which aim to improve emotional wellbeing, to re-validate their skills to recover, and to successfully manage their mental and physical well-being.

We also offered the following group activities: handcrafts, self- help group for panic attacks, self-help group for depression, walk & talk, mental health awareness, relaxation & breathing, relapse prevention and film discussion group for men.

*« Gambling Counselling

This is a partnership service with GamCare to help overcome gambling problems in Turkish, Kurdish and Turkish Cypriot communities in London. Derman is the only organisation, providing specific counselling service for gamblers and their families to Turkish, Kurdish and Turkish Cypriot communities since 2010.

¢ Family Intervention project

This project involves working with the whole family to provide a tailored response to families’ specific needs. Derman started providing this service from January 2020 in partnership with the Minik Kardes and Imece, and funded by Big Lottery for Turkish, Kurdish and Turkish Cypriot families from Hackney and Islington.

The mental health service is continuing to meet a vital need for people with mental health problems and 471 clients benefitted from the service. This service provided a total of 3,527 sessions. The Derman Bilingual Counselling Service is a unique organisation Accredited by the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) since 2016, which shows the benchmark for high quality service delivery.

TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021

Reflecting back over the year, the other most significant milestones were: We have made significant progress in meeting our strategic priorities in the last year.

¢ To respond to the ongoing demands of the Turkish and Kurdish speaking communities

We were successful getting funding from Hackney giving Coronavirus Response Fund in partnership with Day-Merto respond to the priority needs of the Turkish, Kurdish, Turkish Cypriot and Eastern European Turkish people directly impacted by the current public health crisis.

Derman became a part of Mental health transformation programme based multi-disciplinary neighbourhood team to support people with mental health issues to link to their communities, developing a personalised programme of health and wellbeing activities through the community connectors. The programme is funded by East London NHS Foundation Trust managed by the City and Hackney Mind.

We also invested in |T-upgrading hardware and moved to Office 365 and cloud -based IT infrastructure. This transformation was a key priority as we had to start working from home as a result of Covid-19 to provide remote service.

Service Evaluation

We collected data routinely throughout the year. We received a fantastic range of opinions and comments from service users. In the majority, opinions on the quality of our services were very positive. When asked what we could do to improve, the most stated suggestions were more services that meet the needs of Turkish, Kurdish and Turkish Cypriot communities. 90% indicated that they felt happy with the Derman services.

Mental Health Service - IAPT service collects questionnaires on anxiety and depression symptom severity. 'Recovery' is met if a service user moves from above to below the diagnostic threshold on both the depression and anxiety measures by the end of the intervention.

Outcomes reported for IAPT service showed that people accessing talking therapies recorded significant reliable recovery using both the PHQ9 measure of depression and the GAD7 measure of anxiety. Derman IAPT recovery rate was 62% in 2020-21. We exceeded our target recovery rate of 50% which is higher than the national IAPT averages.

Case Study:

Mrs B, Female-45 B is a 45-year-old Kurdish woman with two children. She was referred to our mental health service by her GP as she was suffering from depression, relationship problem, isolation, and a lack of self-esteem. Her parents arranged her marriage without asking her permission. She said that after their decision, she lost control of her life. Throughout her marriage she was subjected to emotional abuse, and eventually she lost her self-esteem and confidence. During therapy, for the first time in her life she was able to talk and explore her long-term unhappiness in her marriage without hiding her feelings. She realised how much her upbringing had stopped her from seeking counselling or make any decisions in her life. She felt listened to without judgement of her life experiences, which gave her confidence in herself again and gradually improved her self-esteem.

The outcome of the counselling sessions:

Service Users Comments:

Service User, Turkish Cypriot, Female-42: "| cannot thank enough to Derman’s staff for giving me hope to live again, especially to my therapist. | had forgotten to laugh for many years and now after the therapy | am able to laugh again.” Service User, Kurdish, Female-40: "Attending counselling sessions at Derman helped me clarify and make sense of my issues and develop the skills for communicating my thoughts without feelings of fear or anger. | would like to thank Derman for providing such a valuable and unique opportunity to explore my issues in a non-judgmental environment."

RISK MANAGEMENT:

We have been working to update our business continuity plan to mitigate the potential impact of the covid-19 pandemic. We are now providing our services remotely since March 2020 for existing and also new clients. We have a telephone triage session to assess the client's suitability for phone/online service, and we also get the client's consent before the assessment session. The Management Committee made a specific Risk Assessment for dealing with the current Covid-19 situation in Derman including coming out from lockdown and individual staff risk assessment. Seven of the key risks identified and their subsequent mitigating actions for Derman for the year ended 31st March 2021 were:

  1. Risk: Interruption our services due to coronavirus pandemic Mitigation: Develop a response plan- regularly update and evaluate Derman Business Continuity Plan/ moving our services online.

  2. Risk: Returning to work safely after the lockdown Mitigation: Make plans regarding coming out from lockdown/ and review on a regular basis to keep staff and service users safe.

  3. Risk: Volatility and decrease of voluntary income resulting from recession and streamlining the services. Mitigation: Strong messaging of the needs of the people Derman supports.

  4. Risk: Continuing impact of budget cuts on the statutory income exacerbating the shortage of funding

  5. Mitigation: Sustain open dialogue with local authorities and NHS and continually review opportunities.

page 6

TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021

  1. Risk: Reputational risks associated with a serious incident involving people we support e.g. safeguarding, accidents.

  2. Mitigation: Education and maintenance of awareness of safeguarding and whistleblowing at all levels of Derman. Rigorous training in health and safety for all our workforce and comprehensive risk assessments for all people we support.

  3. Risk: Increase in payments in arrears as a result of payment by activities and payment by results.

  4. Mitigation: Derman will increase the reserves to respond to the new type of contracts.

  5. Risk: With the uncertain economic environment we are unable to make a long-term strategy:

  6. Mitigation: we are working on updating strategic plan how to meet our aims in the current climate.

TRUSTEES’ REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021

FINANCIAL REVIEW

The Statement of Financial Activities shows a surplus of £27,678 (2020 - £3,674). At 31 March 2021 total reserves stood at £325,102 (2020 - £297,424).

RESERVES POLICY

The trustees review the organisation's reserves annually, in line with guidance issued by the Charity Commission. The trustees wish to hold minimum three and four months’ direct charitable expenditure as reserves. They believe reserves at this level ensure the organisation can run efficiently, meet the needs of its service users and liabilities to employees.

The Trustees have considered their policy on building up reserves and established that the appropriate level of free reserves is one that allows the charity to continue its normal activities in the event of a significant drop in funding or loss of projects. The Trustees aim to increase its free reserves in response to the higher risk of income reductions from public sector bodies and lower returns expected from charitable trust applications. The free reserves will enable Derman to meet its objectives if it faces a loss of income, increases in unfunded costs or delayed receipt of grants.

Derman also needed to invest in its reserves in order to respond to new payment by the activity model contract instead of block funding contracts. This will help us to continue to provide our core activities in the event of unexpected shortfall of income or delays in payment or payment in arrears.

PLANS FOR THE FUTURE

Despite the challenges we faced with Covid-19 in the last financial year, we have rapidly developed new ways of delivering services safely. Derman is dedicated to continuing to provide culturally appropriate and holistic services to Kurdish, Turkish and Turkish Cypriot communities in these difficult times using telephone and online platforms as well as face to face interactions. Our focus predominantly will be on the following areas:

Derman is devoted to continuing the provision of high-quality services and support to Turkish, Kurdish and Turkish Cypriot communities in the challenging environment. Our focus will be responding the needs of vulnerable people and strengthening our position as a preferred provider.

In accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102), general volunteer time is not recognised. The trustees’ annual report contains information about the contribution to the charity made by volunteers.

On receipt, donated professional services and donated facilities are recognised on the basis of the value of the gift to the charity which is the amount the charity would have been willing to pay to obtain services or facilities of equivalent economic benefit on the open market; a corresponding amount is then recognised in expenditure in the period of receipt.
