FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021

ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE

We celebrated our 30'" year in September 2021 as a charity organisation. Starting from a small room in a GP practice in 1991 with a couple of staff, providing much needed and valuable services year in year out for the last 30 years. This is a great achievement for our community. Through hard work, commitment and contribution from everyone involved, Derman is nowa well-known, respected and trusted by funders, professionals and clients. Statutory bodies and councils recognise services make a positive difference to peoples’ lives. We are proud of this achievement to date. The aim is to take the organization to a new level, doing better, reaching out to more people; helping and supporting them, and making a difference.

The 2021-22 financial year was another difficult one for everyone. The Pandemic continued effecting all of us, as individuals, families and organizations. It was a year of concerns, fear, difficulties, barriers and isolation. As Derman, despite the challenges and difficulties of Covid, continued working hard and put all the necessary measures in place quickly and effectively and adapted to the new ways of working. We have been resilient and devoted to the needs of our service users SO we continued working closely with other agencies, funders, and our partner organizations.

We returned safely to almost %100 pre-covid time tables for our service provision since July 2021 providing most of our services face to face to ensure that people are supported as effectively as possible. However, we may need to work through the lasting consequences of the Covid-19 pandemic and adapt to new challenges and opportunities in different ways of working in coming years.

  1. Person Centred / Holistic Service Provision Derman put the service user at the heart of all its service provision. All Derman services integrated to tackle people’s mental, physical, social, financial and emotional problems. Derman currently offers holistic care through the following: Mental Health, Health Advocacy and Advice services.

We are proud that, despite the difficulties and challenges of the pandemic, Derman has helped 2,915 people and concluded 13,226 contacts/sessions during 2021-22 financial year.

The Mental Health Services 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.

603 people were referred to the service and, eligible 586 clients benefitted from the services. These services provided a total of 6,463 sessions. Our Bilingual Counselling Service is a unique organisation Accredited by the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), as well as being an IAPT compliant organization since 2016. These are the benchmarks for high quality service delivery by Derman.

Derman’s Mental Health Services include following projects:

DERMAN - FOR THE WELL-BEING OF THE KURDISH AND TURKISH COMMUNITIES TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021

Derman IAPT recovery rate was 57.5% in 2021-22, exceeding our target recovery rate of 50%.

We offered 8 different group therapies/activities through this project during 2021-22: Behavioural activation, walk & talk, self-help for depression/anxiety, relapse prevention, body and mind (pain management), Trauma informed yoga, handcraft and a LGBTQ+ group.

The Bilingual Health Advocacy Service

This service provides access routes to health and social care services for Kurdish, Turkish, Cypriot and Eastern European Turkish people who are registered with a Hackney GP and/or reside in City & Hackney since 1991. The aim of our health advocacy service is to facilitate face to face or telephone communication between health professionals and service users by bridging the language and cultural barrier to assist patients in achieving better access to their local health and social care services.

During 2021-22, despite all the challenges and difficulties, our health advocacy team continued providing service to 1,897 individuals at 13 different GP surgeries. This resulted in 5,592 contacts (4,448 face to face and 1,144 through 3-way (doctor/patient/advocate) telephone consultations remotely or from the GP surgery).

DERMAN - FOR THE WELL-BEING OF THE KURDISH AND TURKISH COMMUNITIES TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021

Following successful tendering process we secured our funding for health advocacy service provision with NHS Homerton University Foundation Trust for another three years which could also be extended two further years.

|

The Welfare Advice Service We provided a high- quality professional welfare advice service in partnership with Citizen Advice Bureau (CAB) to Kurdish/Turkish and Turkish Cypriot communities. It makes a real difference to service users’ and their families’ and is vital to reduce poverty. 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. The demand for this service continues to be higher than our resources allow us to meet.

During 2021-22, 432 clients/individuals benefited from the service and we made 1,171 contacts with those clients to deal with their enquiries.

  1. Strategic work We have made significant progress in meeting our strategic priorities in the last year.

e DERMAN won prestigious HSJ (Health Service Journal) awards in September 2021. HSJ is the news and insight service for all healthcare leaders working in, for, or with the NHS.

DERMAN received the Award in the Mental Health Service Redesign category in collaboration with the City and Hackney ICP, North East London CCG, The City and Hackney Mind, Bikur Cholim and, Homerton University Hospital FT for the service provision of Culturally Focused IAPT for Communities by Communities. Getting the recognition of our 30 years of holistic, culturally specific/sensitive way of working is a great achievement for Derman and its staff.

DERMAN - FOR THE WELL-BEING OF THE KURDISH AND TURKISH COMMUNITIES TRUSTEES’ REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021

  1. Service Evaluation All of Derman’s services collect general descriptive data routinely throughout the year on demographics, referrals, client and contact numbers. We received a fantastic range of opinions and comments from service users. We ascertain feedback from service users via the general feedback questionnaire and complete necessary monitoring forms and reports for funders.

Outcomes reported for our Improving Access to Psychological Therapies (IAPT) service showed that people accessing talking therapies recorded reliable recovery using both the PHQ9 measure of depression and the GAD7 measure of anxiety. Derman’s IAPT service recovery rate was 57.5% in 2021-22, exceeding our target recovery rate of 50%.

Also when asked what we could do to improve, most of our service users suggestions were increasing activities and services that meet the needs of Turkish, Kurdish and Turkish Cypriot communities. More than 85% indicated that they felt happy with the Derman services.

Case Study: Mr BD was referred to our Counselling service by his GP where we also provide our health advocacy service. Our health advocate had informed the GP about the availability of therapy at Derman. Client BD, 40-year-old male, Kurdish national who lives with his wife and 4-year-old son in a council flat. He received counselling treatment at Derman for his depression and anxiety problems. Following his sessions with the counsellor his financial situation's negative effects on his mental health had been identified so he was informed about Derman's welfare advice service and referred to get help.

Our advice worker identified that he needed help with his application for PIP (Personal Independence Payment), UC (Universal Credit) problems and other benefit check for his eligibility. He had a part-time job but had to stop due to deteriorated mental and physical illnesses as well as the pandemic and was claiming Universal Credit. We did a benefit check for the family. Even though they were receiving Universal Credit, CTC and CB, the total amount of benefit they were receiving was still not enough for the family to live on. Therefore, they were facing hardship financially.

As a result of our Advice Service’s work, their financial circumstance improved after PIP and CA claim addition on their other benefits. Also providing him help through our Counselling service with his mental health problems at Derman madea significant difference to their life financially and more importantly mentally.

We also regularly collect feedback from our clients and professionals we work with:

Service User, Kurdish, Female-39: “To be able to see your faces, even online, made me feel Derman support us despite difficult times. Derman showed her care for us. | will never forget this. Deman’s values are owning our problems like her problems and treating everybody with the same care.”

GP, Lawson Practice-Hackney said: “The continuity of the same health advocates is brilliant. Our patients know Derman’s advocates and trust them. Consultations with the advocates are much smoother than using language line because the advocates know our patients so well. They make consultations more efficient and I'm sure they improve patient satisfaction.”

RISK MANAGEMENT

The trustees have a risk management strategy which comprises of:

We continue updating our business continuity plan to mitigate the potential impact of the pandemic we faced last two years. We are now back to almost 100% pre-pandemic service provision for all our services. However we continue to make phone/online sessions available for clients according to their needs.

Seven of the key risks identified and their actions for Derman for the year ended 31% March 2022 were:

  1. Risk: Overwhelming demands to Derman services from our communities due to effects of the pandemic on their mental and physical health. Mitigation: Develop a response plan by working closely with NHS/Council and all the other funding bodies to maximise the funding to increase the capacity of service provision to deal with , the demand; regularly update and evaluate Derman Business Continuity Plan

  2. Risk: Returning to work face to face (with some phone-online service provision) safely after all

' restrictions lifted Mitigation: Make plans regarding coming back to work at offices/GPs face to face / phone-online service provision 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.

  1. Risk: Continuing impact of budget cuts on the statutory income exacerbating the shortage of funding Mitigation: Sustain open dialogue with local authorities and NHS and continually review opportunities.

  2. Risk: Reputational risks associated with a serious incident involving people we support e.g., safeguarding, accidents. Mitigating: 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. Mitigating: Derman will increase the reserves to respond to the new type of contracts.

  4. Risk: With the uncertain economic environment there are challenges to making a long-term strategy: Mitigation: we are working on updating the strategic plan to meet our aims in the current climate.

DERMAN - FOR THE WELL-BEING OF THE KURDISH AND TURKISH COMMUNITIES TRUSTEES’ REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022

FINANCIAL REVIEW

The Statement of Financial Activities shows a surplus of £15,638 (2021 - £27,678). At 31 March 2022 total reserves stood at £340,740 (2021 - £325,102).

RESERVES POLICY

The trustees review the organisation's reserves annually, in line with guidance issued by the Charity Commission. The trustees wish to hold a minimum of three to 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 maintain its reserves in order to respond to new payment by the activity/payment by result mocel contracts 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

Derman is dedicated to continuing the provision of high-quality, culturally appropriate and holistic services to support the Turkish, Kurdish and Turkish Cypriot communities using face to face interactions as well as telephone and online platforms in the challenging environment. Our focus will be responding to the needs of vulnerable people and strengthening our position as a preferred provider.
