## Welcome to HCEO 


## About HCEO 

## **Our organisation and charitable purpose** 

Founded in 1985, we are a community-driven organisation, dedicated to keeping older people in and around Hackney active, independent and loving life **!** 

## **Mission** 

To bring local older people together to share life. 

## **Vision** 

To work together to build stronger, closer and inclusive communities where every day is to be eagerly anticipated by the older person. 

## **Values** 

Our values are integral to everything we do, which is to ensure that older people have dignity, respect, choice and ‘voice’. We provide support in a person centred, sensitive manner, tailoring our service provision to meet the needs of our beneficiaries. 

_“The community benefits from having a space within it which can absorb the needs of vulnerable people and give them a quality of life which they would almost certainly not have otherwise.”_ Volunteer

## Introduction from our Chair 


We began the financial year with enthusiasm and excitement, having finally come through the covid pandemic. Our focus was on developing our range of services to meet the changing needs of people and the local community. 

We came together for a Thanksgiving & Memorial Day for service users, families and friends of those who sadly passed during the covid pandemic. This was commemorated with a colourful mural designed, on our members’ request, to represent a “Piece of Paradise” in memory of their friends. 

As we moved into autumn, the cost-of-living crisis was taking its toll on our members, but our Advocacy & Outreach Officer was highly effective in assisting them to obtain fuel and food vouchers and other emergency support.  Without her quick response many would have lost out on getting their entitlements. Our thanks also to the funders who provided extra support during this difficult time. 

Over the year we saw a steady increase in referrals for people living with dementia who want to access our services, although, unfortunately, we do not have the capacity for supporting those who present with high level dementia requirements. 

The Volunteer Coordinator has successfully initiated a volunteering programme and volunteering hours have increased, although it is still a challenge to sustain longer term volunteering. We have had successes in diversifying our income generation to include an arts & cultural programme. 

Our thanks to all staff and volunteers for their dedication and hard work throughout the year.  We are sincerely grateful to all funders and supporters, as well as our members and their families, for their continued support. 

## _Kind Regards_ 

_Anthony Stevens, Chair_

## Achievement and Performance 

STRATEGIC AIMS AND PRIORITIES 

- A) To enhance the quality of life and wellbeing of older people, in particular African and Caribbean people, living in the local community 

- B) To prevent isolation and loneliness and bring communities together 

- C) To build good relationships with members, their families and carers, and to work  in partnerships with links to the wider community 

- D) To increase the number of individuals registering as members and accessing our services 

- E) To achieve a secure financial future for HCEO 

## 2022/2023 HIGHLIGHTS 

Our newly refurbished centre is heart of where our activities take place. It is a warm and welcoming environment where older people come together to build social connections, make friends and develop positive meaningful relationships. The space is wheelchair and mobility accessible. 

## **Promoting good health/healthy lifestyle** 

- Over 120 older people enjoyed a range of social and purposeful activities on a regular basis. 

- Approx.4000 lunches served throughout the year 

- Replanting of our kitchen garden 

- 94 physical exercise and movement to music sessions.  Those who were able, practiced learning Quadrille dancing once a week for 6 months.  Whilst this was very popular with some people, the course was difficult to sustain. 

- 45 Arts & craft sessions - over 25 people attending each session. Additionally, local artists ran workshops such as the Stitch project; jewellery making with the Community Partnership Officer from the British Museum and silk screen printing with Engage Here 

- Innovative arts and involvement in cultural events -Windrush celebrations, visits to the V&A Fashion Exhibition, British Museum and Wallace Collection 

- Seaside outings to Hastings and Great Yarmouth which included families; 50seater coaches. 

- Delivering around 1500 volunteer hours for the year 

- Learning to make better use of digital devices led by Stepheny, Ability Net volunteer 

- Tea Dances, Bake sales and a picnic in the local park for service users and families 

6 



- Health talks including presentations on hypertension and diabetes, and from ‘Better Together Hackney’ 50+ Club which helps residents to become more mentally and physically active 

- We supported the Womb Cancer campaign by hosting meetings. 

- Medical students from Barts Hospital visited to interact and learn from the lived experiences of our elderly service users. 

## **Local partnerships** 

- We receive a wide range of referrals from agencies who believe that we can have a positive impact on the lives of those who are suffering from isolation, such as Health professionals, Social Care professionals, family/friends, residential homes, social prescribers and word of mouth. 

- We are an active member of the Hackney Lunch Clubs Network which serves a variety of cultural backgrounds that reflects the diversity of Hackney. As part of this, we are instrumental in ensuring that we work together to serve older people in the community, address issues and allow for relationships to form across communities. For example, we participated in the Turkish Cypriot Cultural Association’s exciting ‘Food and Cultures Project’ which sought to support and learn about different cultures, their cooking and more. 

- We completed on a 5-year lease with the Council which gives us a stronger sense of presence and belonging in the area and a feeling that we are an integral part of the local community.

## **LUNCHES -freshly cooked in-house each day** 


_“Yes, I like Caribbean foods - yam, banana, dumplings, chicken.” “Yes, I eat the vegetarian food.”_ 





## **FRIENDS WELL-BEING GARDEN** 

Overseeing the creation of the garden is Paulette, who is a ‘natural’ gardener from a local ‘Black Roots’ initiative.  Apart from herbs for cooking, she encourages members to grow plants that are not usually grown in the UK. The space is also a sanctuary for anyone to be outdoors and/or do other activities. 


8 



## **PHYSICAL EXERCISES AND MOVEMENT** 


Exercise & movement classes with music are held twice weekly to improve mobility, strength, balance and relaxation. **Candy – exercise tutor**

## **ARTS AND CULTURAL ACTIVITIES** 

We had a real boost to our arts & cultural activities this year, and our thanks to the funders who supported the development of this work.  The sessions are fun and stimulating but also generate lots of communication around the shapes, colours and textures, so important for maintaining cognition. 



**Margaret Morris, arts tutor** 

_On reopening after Covid, people at home participated in the arts sessions online as well as those in-person at the Centre._

## **ARTS AND CULTURAL ACTIVITIES** 

Visits to Museums: V&A for the Africa Fashion exhibition, The British Museum for a private tour with the Curators of the Africa & Oceanic Collections and a private tour at the Wallace Collection. 

## **Members at the V&A – Africa Fashion Exhibition** 


The Community Partnerships Officer, British Museum (below) facilitated an arts workshop at our centre on bead-making. 

_“Thank you so much for today, I had such a lovely time which I knew I would, but HCEO is a really magical space. I will definitely be back_ ” 


11 



## **ARTS AND CULTURAL ACTIVITIES** 

Working together with young people from ‘Unity’, we participated in Hackney Carnival Showcase at Shoreditch Town Hall.  Our involvement ensured that older people fully represented in local celebrations.  Lucy McMenemy, Cultural Development Manager said … 

“ _It was brilliant to have Hackney Caribbean Elders with us, your presence made the event really inclusive, and everyone loved that about it”._ 



## **INNOVATIVE ARTS - Waste Not, Want Not** 

**Donald Waugh, Arts & Culture Coordinator** encourages the use of recyclable materials to create innovative artwork and images on a weekly basis, and puts on local exhibitions of the members’ work 



12 



## **SEASIDE OUTINGS** 

It is very important that staff and volunteers are able to support outings to the seaside each year to include their families, which was greatly appreciated after the Covid lockdown restrictions. 


A wonderful and fun day out for the family at Great. Yarmouth during August 2022

## **COMMIT TO HEALTH** 

We commemorated and paid homage to the Windrush Generation celebrations – adopting a themed approach of "Commit to Health" which now forms an integral part of our work.

## **RAISING AWARENESS - education, advocacy & outreach -befriending** 

We use every opportunity to raise awareness around the challenges facing older people.  Via outreach, we promote our services at places such as local Hospitals, Social Action groups, local libraries and residential housing communities. In addition, via events and fairs, we engage with Community Navigators/Social Prescribers, GPs and Adult Health professionals. 


Ijeoma Uchegbu, Health Economist 

Presenting on her planned research on healthcare experience of many in the Black Caribbean community in London, and obtaining feedback. 

## Feedback from her colleague, Rijah, who were also present: 

“.. _What stood out to me in particular was how passionate staff were about spreading awareness about dementia and reducing the stigma associated with it within the Black Caribbean community_ .” 

- Over the year we had 91 new referrals (excluding Advocacy) from which 61 persons were assessed and attended 

- We are an active member of the Clissold Park Neighbourhood Forum and host meetings to discuss and share information and experiences for improved health and wellbeing. 

- Improvement in our website and publicity www.hceo.org.uk.  We are hugely grateful to Sean Davey [https://keepstone.uk/consulting] for volunteering his time and skills to revamp our website to raise the charity’s profile, along with his colleague Becky Harrison. 

- We took part in the Winter Warmer event in Hackney and showed an Outreach presentation to raise awareness of HCEO and boost referrals. 

15 



## **ADVOCACY & OUTREACH PROJECT** 

Over 30 advocacy cases were supported and 9 closed during the period. The Advocacy Officer had a stall at the Winter Warmer event and did an Attendance Allowance presentation to Adult Social Care which led to an increase in interest about applying for Attendance Allowance, and a list of members waiting to make applications.  She was kept extremely busy during the latter part of the year with facilitating cost of living vouchers and accessing Hackney food bank delivering weekly food parcels for a vulnerable member. She said… 

_“There is help and support available to support members in the cost-of-living crisis, but it requires patience and commitment. A large percentage of support requires IT literacy, an email address and access to a smart phone which is a barrier to most of our members. We are working to improve the IT literacy of our members, but this takes on-going and consistent work.  The Learning is to move fast when opportunities come up to improve the lives of our members!”_ 

Our Advocacy & Outreach Officer was supported by a legal volunteer, which led to presentations to legal organisations resulting in donations of £4750 around the Christmas period. Our sincere thanks to all our supporters whose kind donations enabled our members to have a good Christmas Party!! 




**BEFRIENDING PROJECT –** this was a ‘pilot’ project. There remains a clear need to offer support to older people within Hackney, particularly following the ongoing impacts of the covid pandemic on both physical and mental health and well-being, so we now signpost to other local organisations and providers. 

16 



## **DEMENTIA AND CARERS’ SUPPORT** 

Over 35 people living with dementia are registered for our Dementia Memory Wellbeing Group.  45 sessions were held during the period. From our work, it appears that stigma around people living with dementia has diminished since we started on this programme. 

Researchers at Queen Mary University Hospital supported our Dementia Awareness workshop and we assisted them on their research study about dementia in the BME community, contributing to focus group meetings and interviews. 

_The Dementia Memory group hosted a picnic in Clissold Park_ 




**----- Start of picture text -----**<br>
`<br>**----- End of picture text -----**<br>


We are grateful for the support from the North East London CCG (NELCCG) for the project. This enables us to provide community transport for members.  Our sincere thanks to Dennis, driver, for his kindness and patience over 10 years in supporting us. We wish him best wishes in his retirement. 

17 



## **VOLUNTEERING PROGRAMME** 

We built up relationships with partners providing volunteering such as The London South Bank University (LSBU) for a 100 hours Practice Supervision to a Social Worker trainee, New City College and Inspire for work experience students, GBS for mature work experience students and VCH, Just Do It and Team London for all volunteering opportunities. The new volunteers, together with the excellent existing volunteers who we have retained, resulted in us delivering around 1500 volunteer hours for the year. Our Volunteer Co-ordinator has also been providing advice and guidance to other members of the Lunch Club Network on setting up and running volunteering programmes. 

Volunteer trainee Social Worker story 

“ [I] attended the Lunch Club network meeting, visited other lunch clubs to observe and join in their activities to see their different approaches to supporting their members. “Therefore, by visiting these centres, I have learned that each individual may have different experiences at each lunch club due to the different activities and support provided. This demonstrates that I should always use different approaches when supporting service users in practice.” 

## Staff and volunteers preparing lunch 


_“Volunteering for HCEO was the most enriching and meaning experience.  Meeting the members of the Dementia Memory Wellbeing Group every Monday and getting to know them was so rewarding.” Shazia_

## **ACHIEVING A SECURE FINANCIAL FUTURE FOR HCEO** 

The financial support we have received for our major projects such as: 

- The Ageing-Growing-Engaging project, supported by the National Lottery Community Fund 

- The Good Neighbours project funded by Trustees to The Charity of Sir Richard Whittington 

- The Dementia & Memory Wellbeing project - continuation funding from the North East London CCG to reduce loneliness and isolation for people living with dementia, and reducing stigma about dementia in the community 

has enabled the organisation to have the stability of staff and operational costs to support older people in the community with the various challenges of social isolation, health issues and inactivity. 

During the year we have diversified our funding streams and have put greater emphasis on the arts & cultural involvement for improving creativity and well-being.   We have also obtained funding to support our members with cost-of-living crisis.  During December we obtained donations from the McCarthy Stone Foundation, Linklaters LLP; Norton Rose Fulbright LLP and Percy Bilton Charity. The Ubele Initiative-Majonzi Fund contributed to our Thanksgiving & Memorial service in memory of loved ones who passed during covid. HCEO was chosen as one of the Co-op Local Community Fund causes for 2022 -23.  We are sincerely thankful to all the other funders and supporters who have contributed toward our work such as, Charles S French Charitable Trust; Hackney Council; Hackney Giving; HCVS Arts & Culture; London Catalyst; Morrisons Foundation, Postcode Society Trust; The Edward Gostling Foundation, The Grace Trust; The Hedley Foundation and Together for London Community. 

**The building** .  We have completed on a renewal of a 5-year lease with Hackney Council Property Services, which gives permission to sublet the vacant spaces to raise income which will be a focus for us during 23/24 financial year. 


We are constantly reviewing our finances and controlling our expenditure and have maintained our required reserves. 

19 



## Looking ahead – Exciting times in challenging circumstances 


## AGEING-GROWING-ENGAGING TOGETHER 

## **LOOKING FORWARD** 

The Ageing-Growing-Engaging programme [supported by The National Lottery Community Fund] which represents the three strategic pillars of our work, evolved to tackle some of the challenges of ageing e.g. health, mobility, caring roles, social and economic disadvantages, but also to provide opportunities for growth and 

These challenges continue, even more so for minority communities, and we hope our approach, work and centre will endure to enable older people to thrive. 

## **Sustainability - Areas of focus** 

## **Strengthening our activities and services** 

Promoting Good Health/Healthy Lifestyle which includes lunches, physical exercises arts & culture, trips and outings, Advocacy & Outreach support and our Dementia Wellbeing Programme 

## **Raising HCEO’s profile** 

Despite having been in existence for over 35 years, awareness of HCEO within the local community and across London boroughs remains low, impacting on recruitment of new members, staff and volunteers and on our income generation. We will be making better use of our website, which we intend to relaunch in 23/24, and social media 

20 



accounts, designing new marketing materials, sourcing new images and formulating a comprehensive Marketing & Communications strategy to support all areas of our work. 

## **Voluntary income diversification and income generation** 

We will be looking at the following funding opportunities: 

- Lunch Club Network – we are currently working together with Hackney Lunch Club Network on the sustainability plans, supported by the HCVS Network coordinator. 

- Trusts & Foundation, Corporate Funding, Community events and Challenge Events 

- Individual giving – as we raise our profile via different channels, we will be looking at income generation via online donations, regular giving and legacies, using the website, social media and our newsletter. 

## **Collaborative & Partnership Working** 

Wherever possible we will try to work with other local, London based or national organisations to ensure cost effective service delivery – e.g. Lunch Clubs Network, referrals, dementia and carers’ support, digital inclusion support, advocacy referrals and schemes such as foodbanks & Hackney council initiatives. 

## **Space rental** 

Our building is a valuable community asset.  We have taken steps to raise income from the vacant spaces and expand the organisation’s social impact by subletting to VCS organisations and will continue to do this as well as looking at other rental opportunities. 

We have completed on a renewal of a 5-year lease with Hackney Council Property Services, which gives permission to sublet the vacant spaces to raise income which will be a focus for us during 23/24 financial year. 

## **Increased membership** 

We are receiving more referrals and, with an increase in awareness of our organisation, we anticipate that the numbers will rise generating additional unrestricted income. Since the end of the severe COVID19 crisis and as the cost-of-living crisis continues, we have received more referrals from outer London boroughs. These include Haringey, Walthamstow, Waltham Forest, Newham and City of London.
