The legal and administrative information set out on page 2 forms part of this report. The financial statements comply with current statutory requirements and the Statement of Recommended Practice FRS 102. ## **Structure, Governance and Management** BEfriend is an unincorporated association which is registered as a charity with the Charity Commission (number 1072538) with a written constitution dated 18 September 1998 (copies available on request). All trustees are members of the Scheme, and volunteers are asked if they would like to be members. The Charity has documented policies in all key areas. The responsibility for the overall strategy and management of the operations and property of the Scheme is vested in the Management Committee comprising trustees, while the CEO is responsible for the day-to-day administration and running of the Scheme. The CEO attends the sixweekly trustee meetings to report on progress and to participate in the discussions and decisionmaking process. Trustees are recruited from members of the local community. Currently six of the nine positions are filled and embrace serving volunteers as well as experience in accounting, finance, law and the voluntary sector. Trustees are recruited via the local Volunteer Centre and by personal contacts. Such appointments are made with a view to the balance of skills and experience of benefit to the Charity's management. Any trustees thus co-opted shall hold office until the next Annual General Meeting when they will be eligible for election. At each AGM one third of the Management Committee shall retire from office but shall be eligible for re-election. The members who retire by rotation shall be those who have been longest in office from the date of their last election. The Management Committee elect from among themselves a Chair, Vice Chair(s) and a Treasurer all of which are honorary appointments. Such appointments are valid only until the conclusion of the Management Committee meeting after the next AGM but may be renewed. A risk assessment is carried out annually as part of the business planning process and actions taken to mitigate or contain the risks identified. In terms of financial risks, the trustees review the cash flows regularly and ensure sufficient funds are available. 4 ## **Financial Review** It has been a solid year for BEfriend on the financial front, with a surplus of £5,523. BEfriend managed to secure several large grants and donations, as the difference we make to the local community is increasingly recognised by a number of Trusts. Crucially, BEfriend now benefits from secured sizeable funding commitments over several years. Together with its reserves these commitments have allowed Management and the Board of Trustees to take a longer-term view and further build a strong organisational structure. The Scheme remains firmly focused on its medium-term development as social needs in the Borough continue to grow. Expenditure further increased from £195,651 last year to £224,949. This reflects the increasing services that Befriend provides, as explained further down the Annual Report. At year-end the Charity had 9 part-time employees (vs 7 at the end of last year) working the equivalent hours of 5.5 FTE. A very high portion the Charity's expenditure (86.8%) has been devoted to the core charitable activity. The balance was spent on fundraising (9.4%) and Governance (3.8%). The principal funding sources during the year under review are listed in Note 2 to the Financial Accounts. Grants and Donations for the year amounted to £222,068, almost 3 times the amount raised 3 years ago, and a further increase compared to last year. This was a result of the considerable funding effort of our staff. Unrestricted funds are currently composed of a Closedown Reserve and general funds. General funds stood at £56,063 at year-end, The Trustees keep a vigilant eye on the state of the reserves with a view to maintaining them to a level which will: - provide for fluctuations in income and expenditure - provide for unforeseen contingencies - ensure the continuity and development of the services provided by the Scheme (Going Concern) The Trustees have decided to increase the Closedown Reserve (covering the cost of closure of the organization) from £50,000 to £60,000 to reflect the Charity’s increased cost base. It is equivalent to approximately 3 months of the Scheme's expenditure. This long-term Reserve is invested in much diversified equity index-trackers. These investments have performed well since they were purchased in 2017, even in the current difficult macroeconomic context. 5 ## **Objectives and Activities** ## **Overview** The Scheme was set up in 1994 as The Volunteer Link Scheme under the umbrella of the then Ealing Voluntary Service Council (now Ealing Community and Voluntary Service) and has operated as an independent charity since September 2002 with the sole aim of providing one-to- one volunteer befriending to people within the London Borough of Ealing who are severely isolated and housebound as a result of physical or sensory disability, infirmity or illness. Through recruiting, training and providing quality ongoing support to volunteers, the charity aims to establish sustainable befriending relationships to support some of the most isolated and vulnerable adults. Given limited resources (including volunteer numbers) we target our service at those who are most isolated and who have little social contact and support, with the aim of improving their quality of life, access to services and physical and emotional well-being. Our service also promotes volunteering and social cohesion through providing a safe environment for people to contribute to their local community. ## **How we have grown over the years** Looking back over the last 10 years, BEfriend has grown and developed significantly. We haven’t just increased in numbers, but we have also widened our reach to be able to support more people with different needs. When BEfriend first started (then known as the Volunteer Link Scheme), it had 1 project- supporting housebound adults. Now, we have 3 key projects: Core Befriending: supporting mainly older adults on a long-term basis, Linked Minds: specialist mental health befriending lasting 1 year, and Telephone Befriending for those who are not suitable for face-toface, or would simply prefer a telephone call. The number of volunteers working with us has grown substantially over the last 10 years. In 202122 we trained 70 new volunteers (purple column below), which although is lower than the previous 2 years when we trained almost double the usual number due to increased volunteering during the pandemic, is still substantially higher than 2018-19. However, the total number of volunteers working with us (blue column) has continued to rise. This shows that although we recruited slightly less new volunteers, we retained more existing volunteers. 6 Similarly, the number of clients we support has increased over the last 10 years. In 2021-22 the numbers were slightly lower than the previous year, however this is because of the number of clients we supported on a short-term basis with shopping delivery over the lockdowns which did not need our support ongoing BEfriend remains very cost-conscious and operates more professionally and efficiently than it has ever done. Over the last 2 years we have invested resources into our staff team to make BEfriend more sustainable. We recruited a Fundraiser in November 2020 which has enabled us to increase our income significantly and enable us to grow and develop further. The recruitment of a parttime Administrator enabled our Befriending Coordinators to assess and support more clients. 7 ## **Achievements and Performance 2021-2022** ## **Adapting to a post-lockdown Ealing** The 2021-22 year continued to be difficult with COVID restrictions in place for most of the year. At the start of the period, we were just coming out of the 3[rd] National Lockdown, and heavy restrictions on social contact were still in place. Although on 29[th] March, the lockdown had officially ended, people were only able to meet up with others outside. Our volunteers were continuing to provide telephone befriending in lieu of face-to-face visits, and our Befriending Coordinators were not able to visit to complete assessments. On 17[th ] May restrictions were lifted further and 2 households were able to meet indoors. This meant that our volunteers were able to visit clients indoors again if both they and their client felt comfortable, however social distancing was still in place and anxiety high. During the rest of the year, volunteers gradually started visiting clients more, but continued to socially distance. It wasn’t until 24[th] February 2022 that the Government finally ended all legal restrictions. At this point, we issued ‘Living with COVID’ guidance to all our volunteers and highlighted the importance of choice and mutual respect. Whilst there were no longer any formal restrictions, we asked volunteers and clients to discuss what they felt happy with and decide between them about what precautions to have in place. During all the uncertainty, BEfriend continued to provide support to new and existing clients, continually adapting to the everchanging guidance. A few highlights of the year are below: ## **A new home for BEfriend** Whilst all the restrictions were in place, we had continued to all work from home. Like many other charities and businesses, we questioned our need for our office space which accounted for a large chunk of our budget. We realised that most staff could work from home, but we still wanted a base. We were offered a space in West Ealing Library, managed by Ealing and Hounslow CVS, and we moved into there in June 2021. This space gave us 4 desks and so most staff continued to work from home, but we had a base for when this was needed. ## **Linked Minds Project** 2021 started well with us being successful in receiving funding towards our Linked Minds project. Up until then, we only had 1 part-time member of staff on the project, and the multi-year funding from Henry Smith enabled us to recruit a full-time team member. ## **Community Fundraising** As well as the success in funding from grant making trusts, 2021-22 was a good year for Community Fundraising, which not only raised funds, but also raised our profile: ## • **The Giving Box** Throughout the whole of the financial year, The Giving Box has been in the Ealing Broadway Centre raising awareness and enabling people to donate to BEfriend. We are grateful to British Land for organising this and supporting us in this way. 8 ## • **Taylor Vinters** - In September, a group of trainee solicitors at international law firm, Taylor Vinters, chose BEfriend as one of their 3 charities of the year. They are participating in a variety of different fundraising initiatives between September 2021 and August 2022. In addition to the fundraising work, several the team have become telephone befrienders. They also helped with our Christmas hampers (below). - **Ealing Half-marathon** - In September a group of runners from local business The Soma Room, and one of our own volunteer befrienders, ran the Ealing HalfMarathon and raised £5261! ## **Christmas hampers** For the second year in a row, we had Christmas with restrictions in place. With the spread of the Omicron variant, the Government increased restrictions once more. We decided that we wanted to give a hamper to our clients who we knew would be alone at Christmas. We raised over £1000 from the public via our Befriendship Tree, and together with a team of 9 from Taylor Vinters, packaged and delivered 44 hampers to our most isolated clients. ## **Impact of COVID on our clients and volunteers** After a significant increase in both clients and volunteers over the previous year, as shown in the previous section, our numbers have been at a more expected level. However, when looking at the numbers in details, there have been some significant changes over the year as the COVID pandemic continued to affect us all: - **10** long-term clients sadly **passed away** - **13** clients no longer needed our support as they **were receiving more contact from family and friends** - this is a very positive and significant change, and is likely to be as a result of the COVID lockdowns - **3** moved away to **live closer to family** - again this is a very positive change - **4** were no longer able to manage at home and **moved into a care home** 9 - **7** decided they did not want to go back to face-to-face visits and are now part of our **telephone befriending** This has meant that our Core Befriending Project lost 37 clients over the year, although 7 of these are still being supported by us via the Telephone Project. This has made quite a significant change to the number of clients linked with volunteers on the Core Project, which used to be around 7080 and over the year dropped to around 50. Because of the amount of work that goes into creating a link between a client and a volunteer, and the large drop in numbers on the project, it will take longer to rise back up to previous levels. However, we received more referrals than ever over the year (313 in total, with 128 specifically for the Core Project) and the Befriending Coordinators have been working hard to complete their assessments and match them with suitable volunteers. At the same time, they have been supporting those on the telephone list, which consisted of 28 at the end of March 2022. Whilst the Core Project and Telephone Project numbers are expected to gradually grow, our Linked Minds Project operates differently. Because this project provides 1 year of support with the hope that clients will no longer need us at the end of the year, the overall numbers regularly go up and down over the year as some clients come to an end and new ones join. **Another significant point is the increased difficulty in recruiting volunteers.** After a large increase in people wanting to volunteer with us over the lockdowns, this number has decreased over the last year. We have found volunteer recruitment very difficult, and we are not alone in this experience. It is widely observed across the voluntary sector that less people are now volunteering. Fears over COVID, anxiety over cost of living, and high employment rate have been noted as possible reasons for this. ## **What our clients have said** Despite the changes and difficulties mentioned above, we provided support to 313 people over the year. Here are just a few comments which we have received from some of our clients: _“It’s reassuring having someone to talk to outside of mental health services”_ _“Thank you so much. Before seeing BEfriend my mental health was getting bad”_ _“Very grateful. Huge respect for BEfriend”_ _“I am just happy that I know I will be talking to her every week”_ _“It is lovely to use my own language- so much easier to communicate”_ _“I feel a moment of normality”_ 10 ## **Our Impact in Numbers** ## _**Clients**_ - Ø **300** new referrals received over the year - **128** of these for the Core Befriending Project - **132** of these for Linked Minds - **40** for the Telephone Project - Ø **313 clients** received support at some point during the year - Ø **153** were receiving regular support at the end of March 2022 - **115** of these were linked with a volunteer - **38** of these were on the waiting list and having a regular phone call until we were able to link them with a volunteer ## **We continue to support a diverse community:** - ! **28%** of clients were from black and minority ethnic group - ! **23%** White British. The remainder chose not to answer this question, or is unknown. ## **We reach out to all age groups:** - Ø **34%** of clients were aged **75 or older** - Ø **49%** of clients were younger than **65** - Ø **22%** of clients were between **55-64** which was our largest age group ## _**Volunteers**_ - ! **The number of volunteers has grown significantly:** - **222** _**volunteers**_ have been working with us during the year compared to 207 in the previous year. - **70** _**new volunteers**_ worked with us over the year, a decrease from the previous year - Ø **Our group of volunteers is well diversified:** - **57%** of volunteers are from black and minority ethnic groups - **37%** of volunteers are 34 or younger - **15%** of volunteers are 65 or older 11 ## **A Huge Thank You…** ## _**To our Volunteers**_ We are all so grateful to our volunteers for the continuous support to our clients through all the uncertainty that has continued over this time. ## _**To our Staff**_ Thank you for all the amazing BEfriend team who have continued to work so hard to ensure we are providing a quality service to those who need it the most. ## _**To our Trustees**_ Thank you also to our supportive group of Trustees who work hard behind the scenes. ## _**To our Funders**_ Finally, thank you to our funders for working with us to achieve our aims. ## _**Rachel Hill**_ ## **CEO** 12 BEFRIEND REPORT OF THE TRU￿Es For the year ended 31 Marth 2022 Trustees, Respmslbllltles In relallon to the Flnandal StatemeTrt5 Law appllcable to charities In England and Wales requlres the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial perlod, which give a true and falr view of the ¢h8rSty's financlal activities during the period and of tts financial position at the end of the period.
