CHAIRMAN'S REPORT

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022

It is March 2022 and although Covid is still very much present the fear of it has much declined in the general population, though not perhaps amongst those who remain vulnerable. Restrictions have largely, in England at least, been lifted depending upon what you are doing and where you are. I visited a friend in hospital two days ago. He was allowed one visitor only, pre-booked, mask and lateral flow test mandatory, but I can walk into any bar or restaurant or cinema without restriction. The requirement that staff in care homes are vaccinated as a condition of employment has quietly been removed along with a similar requirement on the NHS, probably more because the NHS can ill afford the compulsory loss of large numbers of people than any particular concern about the owners and residents of care homes.

Life is now back to normal. And not.

This time last year we were in the throes of Pandemic lockdowns, roadmaps, vaccinations, Nightingale hospitals, worries about ITU beds, excess deaths and the reintroduction of visiting residents in care homes. We didn’t know that we had two more spikes of Covid case numbers to come. Who knows what is yet to happen?

Social change has undoubtedly occurred - where people work, mental health, the education of several years of children, the way in which social services and other public services around the country operate and recover ground lost, never mind the impact on NHS waiting lists and our wider healthcare system, as just a few examples. What will be the impact on how our cities operate, the office property market, the demands on technology, how we, our children and grandchildren live our lives? We’ve already seen significant increases in inflation around the world and economies under considerable strain. We know that the less wealthy tend to be more significantly affected by such events than those who can ride economic pressures more readily.

I wrote last year that the last global pandemic led to the “Roaring Twenties” which in turn led to the Great Depression of 1929/33. I wouldn’t begin to be so negative as to suggest that we are about to see history repeat itself, but the pandemic has shown us many things - how interconnected we all are around the world, how it doesn’t take much to encourage social panic, how good scientists are at finding solutions and how Governments can act quickly and positively, how supportive people can be to strangers in need. But what will be the lessons we learn should there be future pandemics - will we take a more laissez-faire approach, create herd immunity more quickly but watch people die when they might have otherwise survived or repeat the messages of isolation, masks and better hand washing? Or perhaps we will follow the example of Australia and New Zealand with their high levels of internal and external isolation. Each way of dealing with such an event has its supporters and detractors and as individual countries review their own responses perhaps some kind of collective approach reflecting best practice might emerge.

And in all of that what of NAPA and the care sector from where all of our members originate?

I wrote last year of how we rose to the challenge of the first year of Covid. Our team more than met the challenge set by the last year’s difficulties and on behalf of all the Trustees I would like to thank them, collectively and individually, for all their efforts. The two highlights, for me, have been the new Website, developed in partnership with QCS, and our Activities calendar, giving ideas for new things to do for every day of the week. But we have also developed our helpline to give direct support- a comforting and supportive voice and good advice to anyone who might need it; we have extended our fundraising efforts, and will continue to do so, offered training and new courses to help personal development, put on events and award ceremonies, improved the marketing of our services and developed new relationships across the sector. The list is long and reflects the hard work of every single one of the team. My sincerest thanks go to each of them.

And, lastly, my thanks go to my fellow Trustees, for their hard work, many contributions and their commitment to and support of NAPA’s work; and to our members and supporters whose continued backing allows us to improve the well being of so many

Oliver Thomas

Chairman, NAPA

TRUSTEES' REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS' REPORT)

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022

The trustees present their report and financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2022.

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out in note 1 to the financial statements and comply with the charitable company's [governing document], the Companies Act 2006, the Charities and Trustee Investment (Scotland) Act 2005, the Charities Accounts (Scotland) Regulations 2006 (as amended) and "Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) " (effective 1 January 2019 ).

Objectives and activities

This report highlights NAPA’s key achievements against our strategic aims in 2021.

NAPA continued to support the care sector during the covid 19 pandemic. Our digital approach enabled our members to introduce new ways of working, gain access to practice development tools and receive support and advice that helped them to prioritise wellbeing.

Umbrella organisation :

T he National Activity Providers Association is the UK’s leading activity and engagement charity. We support care services to prioritise wellbeing and promote activity, arts, and engagement. Our Vision - A UK where activity and engagement is an integral part of care provision, where people live content, creative and connected lives. Our Mission - To advance the role of the Activity Provider by offering professional development opportunities that enhance knowledge, skills, and confidence. We believe that everyone has the right to live content, creative and connected lives. Our approach to wellbeing is one of appreciative professional development. We provide opportunities to develop the essential knowledge, skills, and confidence needed to prioritise wellbeing and provide person-centred activity and engagement.

Our services are co-created with our members, affiliate members, advisory panels and are directed by our Executive Director and governed by the NAPA board of Trustees. We pride ourselves on our inclusive approach and appreciate the contributions and ideas of all who work alongside us to prioritise wellbeing.

We lead and contribute to discussions at strategic level about the importance of wellbeing and engagement. Exhibiting and speaking at national and international conferences and contributing to sector guidance.

NAPA recognises value aligned activity suppliers, we have an established directory, with 28 NAPA Recognised Suppliers listed to date.

NAPA Membership :

Our strong membership numbers allow us to impact on and influence the care sector. Despite identifying risks to the membership due to the pandemic we have increased our membership numbers from 2,888 at the end of March 2021 to 3126 at the end of March 2022.

Our communications plan for 2021 was successful, enabling a substantial increase in our reach across the sector. NAPA has significant presence in the care home sector with care homes comprising 90% of membership in 2021.

This year we have continued to build our membership numbers by further extending our reach and presence in the care home sector but also ensuring our offers are attractive to the broader Health, Housing and Social Care sector, we continue to build relationships with care providers and key stakeholders across the country and have gained new members providing supporting housing services, domiciliary care, and support to adults with learning disabilities. In 2021 we secured the membership of several new care groups and local authority quality and improvement teams. We have significantly improved our membership benefits and continue to consult with our members to ensure our offer meets their needs and our services remain responsive.

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022

Professional Development Services and pathway

Over the last year we have built on the digital approaches introduced in 2020 and towards the end of 2021 we began to deliver face to face training courses once again.

We launched the NAPA Professional Development Pathway, enabling Activity Providers to gain a leadership qualification and be registered as NAPA Recognised Activity Professionals.

Our training qualification offer currently comprises: Distance Learning Qualifications in Activity Provision at level 2 and 3, bespoke training courses on commission. Our accrediting body and our skills for care Endorsed provider status was renewed for another year. Our QCF qualifications continue to attract new interest from members and non-members with 124 new students enrolling in 2021. To date 868 students have completed the Level 2 Award in Supporting Activities and we now have 90 qualified in the level 3 Certificate in Activity provision in Social Care. Over the course of the year 1,008 students have attended bespoke training days, 1,106 delegates completed our e-learning programmes.

Between April 2021 and March 202 2 , we trained a total of 2,138 activity and care workers. Funding from the national lottery which had enabled us to establish a national support network for activity professionals across the sector in 2020 ended and yet we continued to provide monthly reflective practice and support sessions, so that staff could receive peer support and be inspired by innovative ideas and best practice.

In June 2021 we hosted our first virtual annual conference, highlighting our national campaign for 2021 – The Year of Moving and Grooving. We were delighted with the conference which welcomed 100 delegates and gained excellent feedback.

We extended our Helpline service and developed The Activity Support Service. The NAPA Activity Support Service is a service for Activity Providers and includes a phone line for information and advice, a network of Activity Advisors, support groups online and in person and free resources. In 2021-22 the helpline service supported over 200 care and support workers and family carers to prioritise wellbeing.

In August 2021 we built on the NAPA National Day of Conversation and Connection which was established the previous year: Tea Tuesday – encouraging our members and supporters to connect. We held a virtual Tea Dance, which was free for every care home in the country to attend. We were delighted to welcome hundreds of care homes across the UK and Internationally. Our monthly Tea Tuesday events continue to welcome sector specialists across the sector and provide professional development opportunities for the activity provider workforce, free of charge.

In January 2022 we launched the UK’s first National Activity Providers and Professionals Week. Thousands took to social media to show their support and to celebrate the contributions of Activity Providers everywhere. The week was provided in partnership with NAAP (The National Association of Activity Professionals in the United States), Care England, NCF and Scottish Care. Activity Providers and care settings were invited to pledge their support, attend education, consultation and entertainment events across the week. The feedback was amazing, with one Activity Provider sharing. The week began with the release of a film of appreciation. Leaders from across the sector shared their support for NAPP week and celebrated the incredible difference Activity Providers make, a series of events took place across the week and the event was brought to close at an online party, celebrating the contributions of Activity Providers across the UK.

Communications:

We have rebranded the charity, with a new logo, website and digital platform for NAPA members. The website enables us to better promote the range of services that NAPA provides. The members only digital platform invites NAPA members to access thousands of practice development tools and tips, including activity resources. The platform can be accessed by every staff member within the NAPA member setting, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week and is designed to be responsive to the needs of the sector.

NATIONAL ACTIVITY PROVIDERS ASSOCIATION

TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED)(INCLUDING DIRECTORS' REPORT)

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022

We have been delighted with the increase in social media attention and interest. We now have established Facebook, twitter, linked in and Instagram accounts. Our weekly NAPA News has been rebranded in line with all our digital communications and subscription rates have soared. Subscribers receive weekly updates, resources and news.

Following consultation with NAPA members we have decided to embrace the digital and immediate need of our members to access resources at their fingertips. The quarterly magazine will seize production in March 2022 and will be replaced by a daily digital offer ‘NAPA Every Day’ which will be launched on April 1 st , 2022. The final issue will celebrate NAPA’s 25 th Year.

In October 2021 we held our second online Awards ceremony, the event reached hundreds of NAPA members, supporters, care home residents and family carers. We recognised excellence in activity and engagement across the sector and celebrated best practice. We were grateful to our sponsors Unilever Food Solutions and Hallmark Care homes for sponsoring the event and related fundraising activity, and all those who donated their time and resources to make the event truly spectacular.

NAPA Finances

Income was up by £42,829 against the budget and expenditure reduced by £42,762.

Ambitious targets for the commissioning of qualifications were realised. Several funding applications and sponsorship arrangements were successful enabling us to extend our training offer and develop a range of resources.

The fundraising strategy built on the work undertaken in 2020 and we exceeded our target. We were delighted to receive substantial corporate sponsorship from Unilever food solutions. Charitable donations from Grow Old Disgracefully, NAPA digital concerts and a number of smaller fundraising initiatives were highly successful, generating £17,742. Reserves as of 31 st March 202 1 were £195, 150 whilst reserves were £193,781 at 31 st March 2022.

Partnerships:

We developed partnerships with a number of value aligned organisations including Museum of Brands and Famileo. We continue to work closely with Care England, The National Care Forum and My Home Life and supply specialist consultancy to Unilever Food Solutions, Lakeland Dairies and William Murray. We are also working closely with QCS who sponsored the development of our new website.

Some partnership project examples include:

Arts in Care Homes - a five-year programme, managed by NAPA and funded by The Baring Foundation and The Rayne Foundation. There is a wealth of arts and cultural activities taking place in care homes across England. These range from everyday creative activities run by staff teams to large scale arts projects such as A Choir in Every Care Home, artistled sessions and partnerships with museums and galleries. We promote and celebrate existing arts activities and encourage more. During Covid-19 we have seen and experienced the importance of art and creativity in care settings, and the beneficial outcomes for all the participants. We want to continue to shine a light on the importance of this work, which has been increasingly vital during the pandemic. Our 2021 consultation with the care sector about a daily arts and cultural offer in all care settings can be accessed on our website.

The Culture Box Study - a national research programme, promoting social interaction and public health through the arts in the time of Covid-19, conducted by the University of Exeter and funded by the Arts and Humanities Research Council. The aim was to see how the arts can be used to alleviate social isolation and loneliness while improving the wellbeing of people living with dementia.

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022

Moment in Time’ – a project idea evolved from work with people and organisations affected by multiple losses during the pandemic, particularly within Health and Social Work. NAPA, NCF and Beacon Consultancy came together to create this unique project. The COVID-19 pandemic is a significant moment in time, which has changed and disrupted people’s lives across the globe. This project aimed to capture the range of these experiences for posterity, by creating ‘Moment in Time’ boxes, which were ‘sealed’ and will be opened on the same day in 2022.

Risk management:

The Executive Director and NAPA Board of trustees have continued to review the main risks facing the charity. These risks have been classified under headings with the actions set out below to mitigate these risks:

Financial risk: to ensure good forward planning and to continue to maintain a suitable reserves policy.

Operational risk: to ensure that policies for Health and Safety, Equal Opportunities and Safeguarding are up-to-date and implemented; to ensure that training and supervision for staff and volunteers is consistent and regular.

Regulatory risk: to ensure good practice is followed regarding employment issues and the issues noted under operational risk; to ensure compliance with relevant legislation regarding charities and companies.

Reputational risk: to build on the charity’s reputation for good practice and to continue to develop good working relationships with others.

The NAPA Team

We want to pay tribute to the staff team who have seen meaningful change to the usual ways of working in recent years. Their resilience and enthusiasm enables NAPA to continue to respond to the needs of our members. Staff members have transitioned to working from home and continue to work flexibly.

Plans for 2022-23

We have great plans for 2022, as we embark on our 25 th Anniversary we look forward to building our digital offer (The Shed) and Activity Support Service in consultation with the NAPA membership and our sector partners.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022

1 Accounting policies

Charity information

National Activity Providers Association is a private company limited by guarantee incorporated in England & Wales. The registered office can be found on the legal and administrative page.

1.1 Accounting convention

The financial statements of the charitable company, which is a public benefit entity under FRS 102, have been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102) 'Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019)', Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland' and the Companies Act 2006.

The financial statements are prepared in sterling , which is the functional currency of the charitable company . Monetary a mounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest £.

The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, modified to include the revaluation of freehold properties and to include investment properties and certain financial instruments at fair value. The principal accounting policies adopted are set out below.

1.2 Going concern

At the time of approving the financial statements, the trustees have a reasonable expectation that the charitable company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus the trustees continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.

1.3 Charitable funds

Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the trustees in furtherance of their charitable objectives.

Restricted funds are subject to specific conditions by donors as to how they may be used. The purposes and uses of the restricted funds are set out in the notes to the financial statements.

1.4 Income

Income is recognised when the charitable company is legally entitled to it after any performance conditions have been met, the amounts can be measured reliably, and it is probable that income will be received.

Cash donations are recognised on receipt. Other donations are recognised once the charitable company has been notified of the donation, unless performance conditions require deferral of the amount. Income tax recoverable in relation to donations received under Gift Aid or deeds of covenant is recognised at the time of the donation.

Legacies are recognised on receipt or otherwise if the charitable company has been notified of an impending distribution, the amount is known, and receipt is expected. If the amount is not known, the legacy is treated as a contingent asset.

1.5 Expenditure

Expenditure is recognised on accruals basis as a liability is incurred. Expenditure includes any VAT which cannot be fully recovered and is reported as part of the expenditure to which it relates.

NATIONAL ACTIVITY PROVIDERS ASSOCIATION

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022

1 Accounting policies

(Continued)

1.6 Tangible fixed assets

Tangible fixed assets are initially measured at cost and subsequently measured at cost or valuation, net of depreciation and any impairment losses.

Depreciation is recognised so as to write off the cost or valuation of assets less their residual values over their useful lives on the following bases:

Fixtures, fittings & equipment
