REPORT OF THE CHIEF EXECUTIVE FOR THE YEAR ENDED 28 FEBRUARY 2022
TDF is pleased to present the Annual Report and summarised Accounts for March 2021 – February 2022.
TDF was delighted to be able to re-open the centre fully in April 2021 having made small but necessary changes to the operational workings of the centre in terms of health and safety. TDF’s main focus during this year period has been to provide some stability and hands on support for the community most adversely affected by covid – disabled people, people who were shielding, people with complex and chronic medical conditions, their families, carers, careworkers not to mention NHS staff. Changes to our centre had some impact on user number for example, TDF has only been able to use therapy rooms with windows due to the requirement for fresh air during sessions so TDF currently has 4 rooms rather than 5, as well as spacing out of appointments for distancing and enhanced cleaning which has meant fewer appointments being made available. In addition, the slow return and growth of the number of visitors reflects the fact that TDF and the wider community have still had to contend with several more destabilising covid waves with the emergence of Delta and Omicron(March 2021, December 2021) not to mention constantly changing covid protocols. However, in spite of these challenges, TDF is proud that it has been able to continue to rebuild its service - in some ways from scratch (finding new ways of working, finding new therapists because many were forced to change career at the onset of covid, as well as new ways to raise funds) and find some financial balance with the ongoing effects of living with covid. TDF was also delighted to restart some outreach at the Peace Hospice Watford from 2nd July 2021.
TDF’s small team is extremely dedicated, hardworking and passionate about what we do - everyone at TDF firmly believes in our mission and cares deeply about providing the respite and rehabilitation on offer. It is this belief and care and passion that made the impossible possible and it is this that has enabled TDF–to re-open in the most difficult of circumstances, remain open despite challenges and carry on growing in ways that the charity never thought imaginable pre 2020.

REPORT OF THE CHIEF EXECUTIVE FOR THE YEAR ENDED 28 FEBRUARY 2022
I would therefore like to thank everyone involved in supporting us, believing in us, and working for and with us and for never giving up. This has helped ensure that TDF will continue to deliver such important services to the people who need us most. Our role in supporting key user groups is growing daily and TDF looks forward to the next year period with hope and positivity.
Very best wishes

MONITORING AND EVALUATION
THERAPY SERVICE
TDF’s online services
TDF centre was still closed at the beginning of March 2021 as a result of the national lockdown due to COVID. TDF continued with the Daily Wellbeing Webinar sessions, which were conducted via Zoom and were hosted by a different Team TDF therapist every day. Therapists delivered different relaxation therapies such as mindfulness, self-care massage, seated exercise and breathing in order to provide help, advice and information on self-care, stress and wellbeing and providing support to the participants whilst we are not able to practice other hands on therapies.
Another online project was delivering online one to one sessions such as counselling, hypnotherapy, physical wellbeing, cranio-sacral therapy and nutritional therapy on Zoom. This service proved very valuable for members who desperately needed these therapies but were unable to leave their homes. TDF therapists delivered a total of 74 appointments during March 21 – February 22.
The third online project was ‘Tea@TDF’, TDF’s very own virtual ‘get together’. This was a chance for TDF members to catch up with TeamTDF and fellow members and interact, share experiences, swap stories and connect with others. The sessions were hosted by TeamTDF staff and volunteers.
Besides this, TDF therapists also participated on an online outreach session with another disability organisation and presented a session on ‘Physical Wellbeing’.

REPORT OF THE CHIEF EXECUTIVE FOR THE YEAR ENDED 28 FEBRUARY 2022
Face to face therapies at TDF’s centre
After the pandemic lockdowns, TDF’s centre reopened gradually from April 2021. Initially the centre was open only a few days with restricted hours, but this built up to offering therapy service from Monday – Friday between 9.45 a.m. till 5.15 p.m. Only 4 therapy rooms were being used since April 2021, as TDF can only able to use rooms with windows and also need to provide 15 minutes gap between each appointment for enhanced cleaning. This has obviously affected the number of appointments available to our service users.
There were a total of 1622 filled appointments in the centre from April 21 – February 22. It is hoped that there will be an increase in the number of filled appointments now that client confidence is slowly growing.
MEMBERSHIP
The total membership at the end of February 2022 was 200 and 20 new members joined the centre during the last financial year. These figures are low as compared to pre-covid levels; however, our members are slowly returning to the centre for treatments and there is an increasing interest from new clients.
The most dominant age range of TDF’s members is the 66-80 years age group (41%) and the second largest age group was the 51-65 years group (31%). Members over the age of 80 years made up 12% of TDF’s total membership.
Females make up the majority of TDF members (68%) and 32% of members are men. This trend has been observed in the new members joining the centre. The majority of new members joining the centre were female (60%), with men making up 40% of new members. This same pattern has been observed in the previous years.
TDF’s members are separated into three main groups disabled (temporary or permanent), carer (paid, unpaid, relative, NHS) or non disabled. TDF’s main target groups are disabled people and carers and it is good to see that both these groups have the largest representation in the total membership (See Figure 1 below).
Within the group of carers, 34% of members were NHS staff. It is good that TDF is attracting NHS workers as most of them work at the RNOH where we are based. Our therapies could prevent injuries to staff, saving the NHS money through a decrease in long term sick leave.

As in the previous financial years, most of the new members (60%) joining the charity found out about us through word of mouth - through friends or family members. This means that the members already using the service are extremely happy with the therapies we offer as they are prepared to recommend us to others.

COMMUNITY OUTREACH SERVICE
Prior to March 2020, TDF was involved with RNOH and other various local organisations to provide therapies outside the centre as part of its Community Outreach Service. All of TDF’s outreach activities were suspended due to the pandemic.
However, TDF was able to resume these services to Peace Hospice in Watford in July 2021. TDF therapists started visiting every Friday to provide therapies to both their in-patients and outpatients. TDF therapists treated 267 patients at Peace Hospice from July 21 – February 22.
TDF was also contacted in August 2021 by RNOH to resume its ward services. TDF had to fulfil all the RNOH requirements in terms of COVID 19 risk assessment before finally being allowed on the wards from January 2022. This has been a slow return but TDF will continue to send its therapist to the wards once a month as demand will pick up.
There were no other community outreach events during this financial year, as the pandemic had similarly affected other organisations. TDF’s outreach team has maintained contact both with RNOH and other community organisations throughout this period to make more people aware about TDF’s services.

Income
All income is recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities once the charity has entitlement to the funds, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably.

Liabilities are recognised as expenditure as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to that expenditure, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all cost related to the category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources.
Raising funds
These are costs incurred in attracting voluntary income, the management of investments and those incurred in trading activities that raise funds.
Charitable activities
Charitable expenditure comprises those costs incurred by the charity in the delivery of its activities and services for its beneficiaries. It includes both costs that can be allocated directly to such activities and those costs of an indirect nature necessary to support them.
Support costs include central functions and have been allocated to activity cost categories on a basis consistent with the use of resources, for example, allocating property costs by floor areas, or per capita, staff costs by the time spent and other costs by their usage.
