Careline
Trustees, Report
The trustees present their annual rep)rt together with the financial ststements of the charity for the year
ended 31 March 2025.
Ob
ectlves and Activities
The objective of the charity, as set out in the governing document, is to relieve the isolation of older,
vulnerable, or isolated people living in the Derbyshire Dales and East Stsffordshire, by providing a free
telephone befriending sery1￿. Estsblished in 1997, Careline's mission is to reduce social isolation,
enhan￿ wellbeing, and support independent living.
Calls are made at a frequency that suits each member's n&ds, with the overall aim of enhancing
wellbeing and reducing feelings of loneliness. In 2024125, Careline had 53 volunteers supporting the
service, providing regular befriending ca115 tailored to each member's needs.
New volunteers receive comprehensive training, which indudes shadow call sessions with staff or
experienced volunt&rs, as well as instruction on using the database to manage calls. In addition,
Careline provides access to external training se55ions through community organisations, such as mental
health awareness courses, as an optional opportunity for volunteers to further their skills and
understsnding. To ensure ongoing SUPPOrt and maintain best practices, Careline holds biannual Q&A
sessions for volunteers, covering database refreshers, policy updates, and effective call techniques. These
sessions also include the opportunity for volunteers to share their experiences and raise any concerns.
Careline values its volunteers and hosts an annual event to recognise their dedication, presenting awards
for 10 and 20 years of service and certificates to new volunteers. This event also features a short film
compiled by Careline staff, using contributions from members to highlight their experiences and the
impact of the service. It provides an opportunty for volunteers to connect and be thanked for their
ongoing support.
To promote social connection and increase awareness of Careline's work, the charity organises coffee
mornings for members during the year. Between 2024125 we held one in Matlock and one in Ashbourne.
These events provided an opportunity for members to meet face-to-fa￿, enjoy refreshments, and take
part in fundraising activities through stalls operated by Careline. The coffee mornings were well received
by all who attended and played an important role in fostering communty engagement and support.
In setting the objectives and planning activities, the Trustees have considered the Charity Commission's
general guidance on public benefit.
Achievements and Service Develo
ment
During the 2024125 year, Careline has focused on continuing to strengthen its governance and refining
key policies to ensure the charity operates effectively, legally, and continues to meet the needs of its
community. We have worked closely with Derbyshire Dales CVS to review and enhance several policies
includin9 safeguarding, volunteer management, and dats protection, ensuring alignment with best
practices.
Page 2

Careline
Trustees, Report (continued)
Improving the quality of our befriending calls has also b￿n a priority. In response to feedback from
volunteers and members, we introduced a new system limiting volunteers to a maximum of eight calls
per session. This change allows volunteers more time to engage in meaningful conversations, ensuring
members receive a personalised and sUPPOrtive experience, while also helping prevent volunteer fatigue.
Volunteer Q&A sessions held Im1￿ a year continue to offer a forum for sharing feedback, maintaining
strong communication, and fostering a sense of teamwork among volunteers who mostly work from
home.
Strengthening safeguarding procedures remains central to our work. We implemented a formal
safeguarding log to consistently record and respond to concerns, supporting timely action and informed
decision-making. In several ca*s, with members, consent, Careline has atted as a vital link to Adult
Social Care, facilitsting early intervention and ensuring members receive appropriate support. These early
actions not only protett individuals but also help redu￿ pressure on ststutory *rvices.
Careline,
Beneficiaries and Volunteer Team
During the 2024125 year, Careline supported 151 members. The majority of these members were based
in our two core Servi￿ areas, the Derbyshire Dales and East Staffordshire, which continue to be the
primary focus of our delivery. A smaller number of members were supFy)rted from neighbouring areas
through historic seNice extensions or specific funding arrangements.

Our volunteer team ￿mained strong throughout the year, with 53 volunteers making a total of 10,652
befriending calls, averaging around 205 calls per week.
Rather than focusing on increasing member numbers, this year has been about enhancing the
quality-of-service delivery, ensuring each member benefits from a consistent and personalised
experien￿. Continued demand was evident, with a waiting list of 12 individuals at the end of the
2024125 year.
During the year, 34 new members were ac￿pted onto the service, while 42 members left, for the
following reasons..
13 members were no longer contartable
10 rnembers felt they no longer required the ser¥ice, often due to improved mental health or
increased Social activity.
10 members moved to residential care without access to 3 personal phone

Note.. The 2024/25 volunteer figure (53) represents all volunteers attive at any wint during the year,
refierting the total involvement over the perlL2I. Tre 2023/24 figure (46) was a snapshot at the time of
the pre¥￿uS report.
While the number of new referrals (65) and new members accepted (34) was slightly lower than the
previous year, this reflects our intentional approach to ensuring each member receives meaningful and
tailored support. To maintain high-quality interactions, we capped the number of calls per volunteer at
eight per session. Also, many referrals involve complex circumstances that require time to build trust and
engagement, which naturally means a steadier pace of new member take-up. Despite this, the presence
of a waiting list clearly demonstrates ongoing strong demand for our serlice.
Volunteer numbers have remained steady, but with availability varying due to a rotating six-week
schedule, we carefully manage capacity to provide consistent, effective support.
Building on this approach, our priority for next year is to expand our membership and volunteer team in a
thoughtful and sustsinable way. We plan to draw on what we've learned this year to develop new ways
of reaching out to new members and volunteers, while also continuing to work flexibly to manage
capacity and maintsin the quality of our Se￿ICe. This will allow us to continue to reduce social isolation
and broaden our impact within the community.
rants
Careline continues to receive grant funding, which underpins the delivery and growth of our service.
We are currently in receipt of a three-year grant from the National Lottery Reaching Communities Fund,
secured in 2023. This funding totals £225,118 over three years. In 2024125, we received £75,716 to
support the second year of delivery.
We also received a grant of £5,500 from the Derbyshire Dales Public Health Locality Funding to build
upon our befriending service to better support members with ongoing mental health needs. This allowed
US to deliver a bespoke package of support, 'Talking Help's, for individuals aged 18-65.

Su
and Co_mmunitLpport
Careline s fundraising efforts this year involved a mix of Careline-led initiatives and community-based
support. We are incredibly grateful to everyone who has contributed their time, energy, and resources to
help sustain our befriending work.
Our Fundraising Committee, made up of five volunteers and two staff members, continues to bring
energy and commitment to planning and delivering successful events throughout the year. Their efforts
play a vital role in raising funds that support Careline's work. We would also like to recognise the
significant impart of our Careline Ambassador, who has c(￿rdinated the distribution of collettion tins
across the community and successfully doubled the amount raised since joining us. Combined, their
dedication and enthusiasm have contributed enormously to our fundraising achievements.
We are committed to ethical fundraising praCtI￿S and are pleased to report that we have not received
complaints about our fundraising artivities this year.
The Trustees confirm that they have complied with the requirements of Section 17 of the Charities Act
2011 to have due regard to the public benefit guidance published by the Charity Commission for England

Trustees. Report (continued)
we look ahead to the coming year, Careline will continue to prioritise transparent and
community-driven fundraising. We are also keen to expand our volunteer recruitment and grow the reach
of our fundraising efforts to ensure the long-term sustainability of our service.

Careline
Trustees. Report (continued)
Financial Review
Careline continues to take a proattive approach to ensuring long-term financial sustainability. This year,
we established the Financial Sustainability Group (FSG), which brings together two staff members, tr￿0
trustees, and two volunteers to strengthen our financial planning and fundraising strategie5. Meeting
quarterly, the group has been actively exploring new ways to diversify our income streams.
Careline's income this year included significant grants, as well as donations and fundraising. This mix of
funding has helped us to continue delivering our core services and develop future plans.
During Year Two of Lottery Reaching Communities funding (2024125), Careline received £75,716.
Including the £12,605 underspend carried forward from Year One, the total available budget for the year
was £88,321.
Actual expenditure for the period amounted to approximately £56,483, resulting in an underspend of
£31,838. This surplus has been set aside for future project needs and contingency purposes. The Lottery
has been notified of this underspend and has approved its carry-forward into Year Three.
The largest portion of the underspend had been originally allocated for the recruitment of a third staff
member. However, following a careful review, the Board of Trustees decided to delay thi5 recruitment.
This decision reflects the recent appointment of a new manager in 2023 and the anticipated departure of
our long-standing Chair in March 2026.
We have prioritised strengthening our governan￿, internal systems, and reviewing our current staffing
roles and capacity. This careful approach ensu￿$ that any future recruitment, including the potential
addition of a third staff member, is fully aligned with the evolving direction of the service. This deliberate
and considered approach ensures we secure long-term value and effectivenes5, rather than simply filling
a vacancy.
Additionally, in light of recent developments at the hospitsl site where Careline is currently based,
trustees have chosen to all¢Xate part of the funding as a provision for the risk of unlikely but potential
relocation costs. This proposal has been shared with the Lottery to ensure we remain resilient and
prepared, with the flexibility to secure alternative premises, if nece55ary, always safeguarding the
continued delivery of our vital service.
The Board of Trustees has reviewed the reserve5 policy for 2024125 and has agreed to maintain the
reseNes target at £16,000, which covers approximately ft)ur months of planned expenditure. This
ensures that Careline remains financially secure and able to continue providing its vitsl service to our
members. Trustees review the reserves level regularly and update the policy as needed.

Trustees. Report (continued)
Plans for the F ture
As we move into our next year, Careline will continue to focus on delivering high-quality support to
residents in the Derbyshire Dales and East Stafft)rdshire. Although the 'Talking Helps, pilot project
officially concludes in June 2025, we recognise the oNJoing need for tailored befriending services for
adults with mental health challenges. We will continue working towards the pro}￿t'S targets and explore
how this service can be sustained and developed further.
We will build on the significant progress made this year to improve our internal systems and governance.
Strengthening policies and procedures to ensure effective oversight and compliance will remain a priority.
Trustee recruitment and succession planning will also be key, particularly with the planned departure of
our Chair in 2026.
Volunteer recruitment remains a major focus, as we aim to build a diverse and dedicated team to support
service delivery. Expanding our reach and increasing the number of members we serve is also a priority,
ensuring that growth is accompanied by careful planning to maintain Careline's high stsndards of Se￿ICe.
Overall, our work in the year ahead will concentrate on consolidating and growing the service sustainably,
ensuring Careline remains a lifeline for those experiencing ￿)cial isolation and loneliness.
