Cumbria Family Support Ltd ANNUAL REVIEW 2020-2021

Registered in England Number 4151545 Registered Charity Number 1085861

[Welcome ]

It almost goes without saying that the most significant aspect of this year has been the global pandemic through which we have all been living and working. I am very proud of the fact that the commitment and adaptability of our staff together with careful risk management has enabled us to continue to contribute to the emotional well-being of so many families. When we have been unable to maintain visits in person we have used a variety of approaches to keep in touch. We have taken a very personal and individual approach to stay in contact with each family according to their needs and preferences and always staying within government health guidelines.

We have had magnificent support from local communities and other funders to provide resource packs to help keep children occupied and small gifts to raise parents’ spirits. We have also been successful in obtaining funding to support some families in accessing IT equipment where this has been needed for home schooling.

We have been able to use Covid specific funding to employ temporary staff to avoid the level of support we can provide being affected by a reduction in the availability of some of our volunteers during the pandemic. We have been able to employ a temporary staff member specialising in support for families who have a member with a learning Difficulty or Disability. Our planning included recruiting someone under the Kickstart scheme to provide them with work experience and bolster our capacity for internal and external communication.

In more general financial terms we have remained a “going concern” with income available to cover our financial commitments and confidence that we can meet the requirements of our funders. Much of our funding is, however, time limited and this year as every year we have monitored our financial position closely as well as looking for opportunities to improve services and long term stability.

This year has seen some other significant developments that help support our work. As a trustee I’m very pleased that I now have online access to agendas and meeting papers and an official CFS email account through our Share point system. More importantly our work with families is becoming better supported through an online case management system and our approach to recording outcomes is now supported by use of the electronic version of the “Outcome Star”. I do not think we would have got through the year without online meeting services which have been invaluable in allowing us to remain a cohesive organisation whilst working remotely from each other. As well as routine team and individual meetings we have maintained a commitment to training in this way, including some sessions facilitated by trustees.

I’m very pleased to say that we have recruited two new trustees, the Reverend Mary Edwards and a former volunteer Sue Walker during the year and that Andrew Hill has now completed his first year as a trustee. We are very grateful that they have all continued undeterred by a lack of face to face meetings. A long standing trustee, Jane Taylor, resigned during the year due to the pressure of other commitments. We will miss the academic and energetic commitment to the role, particularly her commitment to the parents’ group and thank her for her long contribution to the organisation.

This year also saw us planning for the retirement of long standing Office Manager Jane Huggett whose thorough knowledge and long standing commitment to the organisation was much appreciated. We are now very pleased to welcome Sarah Cooper as her replacement. A number of different people and organisations make our work possible and they all have our heartfelt thanks. We are deeply appreciative of our

volunteers, our funders, our staff and all our stakeholders. We also appreciate the many champions in our local communities whose respect and support encourages us in our work.

Although this report is of necessity concerned with 2020-21, I would also like to recognise two recent events in relation to our team. Firstly we have bid a fond farewell to our Trustee Henry Barker who has been a great support to us over the last three years but has recently had to stand down to focus other family commitments. In addition we have been able to mark a significant milestone – Sarah Craig, our Eden Family Support Coordinator has worked with us for 25 years this year! What an achievement and what a difference she has helped to make for so many families.

Finally it is impossible not to reflect briefly on the current position where, although we are cautiously optimistic, we remain in uncertain times with continuing concerns over infection rates and some concerns over plans for a Local Government Reorganisation which cuts across our service boundaries. However if nothing else 2020-21 has demonstrated our resilience in the face of challenge and I am confident this will continue to stand us in good stead for the future.

Adapting to “new ways”

What a year we have seen! Building on from Dot’s introduction, it is wonderful to see how we have been able to not only maintain but enhance and deliver our services over the last 12 months.

When I wrote my last report I had only been in the post as Chief Officer for a few months and most of that had been spent adapting to the world in which Covid dominated so much of what we had to focus on. However we knew we had our families to serve, and ensure our support was maintained.

Adapting to a new way or working has been very much a theme since the last report. Now over a year later, so many things have become every day adaptions

As you will read in the following pages, our team adapted across all areas - our paid staff, volunteers and Trustees. Not only have we had to adapt, but our families have found ways to engage with us and with the other areas of life that they needed to. Twelve months later and “socially distanced walks”, “doorstep meetings”, “Virtual Meetings” “PPE” and “Lateral Flow Tests” are all common phrases of everyday CFS parlance!

As Dot has referred to in her introduction, we have had another year of change unrelated to Covid. We have said our “goodbyes” to Trustees Jane and Henry, and Jane our Office Manager. However, we have also welcomed new paid staff, volunteers and Trustees. It’s so great to know in amongst such difficulties and world-wide pandemic, we have been able to grow and thrive and continue to support so many families who need us.

7

Alongside this, we have been responding to growing needs around Emotional Well Being for our families; we have formed a new partnership with ICan Health and Fitness. This has, with generous funding from Cumbria County Council Local Committees, enabled us to deliver 2 “MOG” (My Own Guide to resilience”) programmes with great successes, more detail to read later in the report!

We have also developed and adapted our work to enable more focussed support for those families with additional challenges for families who have children’s with Special Educational Needs (SEND) or parents who themselves have Learning Difficulties or Disabilities (LDD).

We have of course continued to work hard to make sure we keep providing our core services of homebased family support, and running our three Contact Centres (although they each had to be closed for periods across the last year). In the following pages of the review you will see all the key information about our referrers and the families we supported, as well as what people thought of the support we have provided.

Our CEO ready to start getting packs together for delivery Christmas 2020!

Building on the success of the fundraising, and donations to provide activity packs last summer, we have been incredibly fortunate enough to have raised several thousand pounds, plus donations of goods from generous sources to enable us to have provided Christmas and Easter treats and activity packs- we even managed to host 2 virtual Christmas parties for our families that were very well received. As 2021 draws towards winter we will again need to have an adapted approach to Christmas festivities making sure we keep our families supported but safe, knowing how Covid is still very much a consideration.

We have been fortunate enough to have had a stable funding period over the last 12-18 months, although we know as 2022-23 approaches our work will continue, and hope that funding challenges ahead can be met to allow the new “adapted” approach to family support, and some exciting partnership opportunities can progress, providing relevant and well received support to so many children and families.

We have an incredible team of paid staff and volunteers that work so hard to keep our families supported and make sure they remain at the heart of all that we do.

What We do

Our mission statement is: Cumbria Family Support helps families with children in Cumbria to get through difficult times. Our staff and trained volunteers provide support to families in their own homes until their difficulties have passed. We aim to relieve family difficulties and offer support, to reduce isolation and health inequalities and to empower children and their parents to be the best that they can be. We provide our unique flexible approach to supporting families, ensuring positive changes are embedded into family life and helping to eradicate issues entrenched through generations. Overall we focus on achieving a sustainable outcome for children, families and the positive impact this has on the wider community. We also benefit community members by employing a supported and well trained volunteer force drawn from local communities.

We know there is a need for our work- our referrers and families have told us through word and deed i.e. taking up the offer of support, positive feedback, and making referrals to us. In the last year alone (June 2020 to July 2021), we received 93 new referrals for families support and we are actively currently supporting over 90 families. In summary we employ a range of ways of helping families. We:

Prior to the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic we also delivered group work for children including “Best Buddies” (for 5 – 8 year olds). The groups give children the chance to take part in group activities which encourage the building of positive relationships and develop awareness of personal safety and other key skills. The groups empower children to develop a greater emotional resilience, confidence, and selfesteem. We paused this work due to the Covid-19 pandemic. We have however this year now been able to deliver virtual groups and more recently “in person” groups with a new Partner- ICan Health and Fitness. The group is a 12 session Emotional Well Being and Health Living programme which includes physical activities. In 2021 we have so far seen 27 different children participate in the programme, with great feedback- we asked the parents of those participating if their children had learnt anything or benefitted from the programme ….

Who Have We Supported?

Over the last year we have provided Family Support to 127 families across Carlisle, Eden and Allerdale. This has meant that 283 children & young people and, 204 parent/carers have been supported in one way or another over the year. This has meant over 4600 hours of direct delivery hours for our families, plus working with over 30 referrals for our Contact Centres.

As you will see below, we have a wide range of referrers and some key “presenting worries” for our families.

10

We know that when a family is referred for generic “parenting support”, this is very often as a result of underlying issues due to Mental Health difficulties, or, living with Learning difficulty or disability in the family. Such difficulties are often not evident at the point of referral but become apparent as the trust builds between family members and CFS, and they share more of their family story with us. A recent review of supported families showed that 57% have been supported by us for over 12 months. This does not build dependency as we shape the focus and frequency of visits to reflect the changing needs of the families, listening to their views about this. 100% of recent family feedback surveys, showed, when asked if they were visited enough, that it was “just right”.

As you can see, our commitment to supporting families until their difficulties have eased and they can manage independently is borne out by how long we stay alongside them.

11

During the last year we have been able to capture the voice of our families. Their feedback has helped us reflect on our delivery and build on those areas that the families tell us works best for them:

The skills to be Feeling that I am being listened able to see things The support we’ve had has been from a different is really important to me, I get t very different to what we expected view. impression that they (CFS) want with the coronavirus restrictions help us, with other services I do preventing someone from coming to always feel the same. Knowing th the house but we have had some there is someone to talk to make great support and advice over the me feel reassured in case I need phone which has helped talk.

Support keep’s me motivated and it helps me stay on track. I benefit from the reminders I get and knowing that there is someone to talk to. I feel that my confidence has improved in my ability to parent my son. I feel like you (CFS) are genuinely interested in how we re doing, it can take a while for me to feel comfortable around people. It’s taken a while but I definitely feel able to talk openly, I will get in touch in between visits if I need to.

The support we received helped us to reconnect as a family.. we learned how to go back to basic & listen to each other .

The help I have had has given me, confidence, support, less anxiety. Stress levels much reduced. A great balance of befriending and professiona input. I feel Sarah knows exactly where I was, which wasn't a good plac and matched Fay to me perfectly. I kept getting checked on all the time even through Covid, nothing has been too much trouble.

I have someone to talk to. So it helps with my anxiety, I don't like putting on people. So it's good to be able to talk without being judged and to get good advice too. X and Y, my volunteer, understood my problems and listened 100%. Y has been a great match for me, she has been amazing. I have been able to relax in the knowledge I am being listened to and had great understanding.

Staff Reflections and thoughts for Next Year “Adapting to Change”

Carrying on the theme of adapting our work over the last year, our paid staff team share their thoughts below about the last 12 months, and looking forward to how we will continue to deliver some element of support differently, having found that our “adapted” approach due to Covid has brought some real benefits:

Q: What is your most positive reflection on the last 12 months in CFS?

Q: What part of your work have you adapted even though we are now technically “restriction free”

13

Q What (Non Covid related) hope do you have for the next 12mths in CFS?

14

Supported Child Contact Centres

Our 3 Centres (Eden, Carlisle and Kendal) continue to provide a relaxed friendly environment for parents and children to establish, renew and develop relationships.

The impact of Covid saw us have to close each centre, although each one was able to re-start at various points during the year, it was a testimony to the commitment of the Coordinators and our team of Contact Centre Volunteers, that the re-openings were so well managed. Families benefited from regular updates on when and if we could run sessions. We know it was not always easy for parents living away from their children, to only see them in full “PPE” at times, but it did mean at least they could keep their relationships growing. As restrictions allowed, said PPE and other measures have been reduced or removed and the centres’ needs for adaptations have reduced.

That said, it was wonderful to hear the different ways that families were helped to keep in contact while they couldn’t meet in person. Adapting to virtual contact was certainly a theme for our centres over the last year!

Volunteers are vital to our Contact Centres as without them, we would not be able to run the service. We have very reliable volunteers who have a thorough understanding of the importance of children forming and maintaining a relationship with the parents with whom they do not live. Over the last year we have really appreciated their willingness to work across the pandemic, and their understanding when we had to close the centres.

It is of course wonderful that all three centres are operational again, and parents and children can meet and keep their relationships growing in a safe and supported way.

Finally we remain grateful for the advice and guidance of NACCC (National Association of Child Contact Centres) across the last year.

15

Our Volunteers

Recruitment and retention of volunteers remains one of our highest priorities. Recruitment has become increasingly difficult as a climate of austerity affects people’s ability to volunteer, and more latterly of course the impact of Covid has also been prominent. Cumbria Family Support has a recruitment strategy that is reviewed regularly by the Family Support Coordinators and this has proved to be invaluable in our attempt to promote the organisation to the wider public; it is notable how much more we rely on (and get positive responses from) Social Medial and the “Virtual” world- again, adapting to change and development. We have good track record for supporting and valuing volunteers and they have fed back that they feel as if they are making a difference in the lives of the children they support. We are very fortunate with the volunteers who come along to work with us as they tend to stay with us for a number of years. We still have a volunteer who has been with us since 1993 when the organisation started.

We have adapted and developed our training for volunteers taking into account what volunteers have told us they need, and to accommodate the changing needs of families. Across the last year we have had to move support and training primarily to virtual platforms. We had a great response to our “Zoom” based Volunteer Development programme early in 2021 which included a number of sessions exploring the impact of Learning Difficulties and Disabilities for our supported families.

We asked our volunteers about working with us; here is a flavour of what they said:

A Learning Organisation

Despite the challenges of Covid 19 we have continued to be a learning organisation across the last year.

We recognise not only the huge benefit that volunteers bring to our organisation, but that with the correct support and development, we are able to offer them opportunities for growth and development. If we are fortunate enough to secure sufficient funding we will be using some of this to focus on a broader and more personalised approach to Volunteer training and development. Most recently for example, we were permitted to re-direct some of a Covid related grant to volunteer training and as such we employed a temporary staff member who has vast amounts of skills and experience working with families where Learning difficulties /disabilities (LDD) are a feature. One of the first pieces of work she delivered was 5 sessions (7.5hrs) with volunteers (and paid staff) in relation to supporting families where LDD is present

Alongside this, during the year our paid staff team have undertaken a range of training (online). This has covered the following:

In addition to the above this year is our first year supporting Social Work students (first placements for BA and MA Social Work courses) using or own “in house” Practice Educators. Following the retirement of the independent Practice Educators in spring 2020, we decided to invest in, and support our two Social Work qualified practitioners and ensure they completed the required training to support students, as well as our existing trained and experienced on site Practice Supervisors. With flexibility and adapting to socially distanced and virtual work, it is wonderful to have seen two successful placements completed this year.

Finally in recognition of the importance of supporting the development of a future workforce, CFS has supported the Kickstart government funded scheme. The Kickstart Scheme provides funding to create new jobs for 16 to 24 year olds on Universal Credit who are at risk of long term unemployment. CFS has been fortunate to have our Communications and Marketing Officer employed with us this year- look out for updates in next year’s review about the difference this has made for us and for him!

17

Partnership and Strategic Working

Recognising the importance of collaboration, support we ensure CFS are strategically placed to inform and influence practice across children and family services in Cumbria:

The above aids strategic work to minimise duplication and maximise partnership working. At an organisational level we have many years’ experience of working collaboratively with other providers such as Barnardos, Schools, and Childrens Services etc.

More recently we have formed a partnership with a local Social Enterprise (ICan) developing and delivering Emotional Wellbeing and Health leaving programmes for children and young people. We are also currently developing partnership opportunities with other local and national voluntary sector providers such as Carlisle Youth Zone.

As well as the strategic level partnership work, our staff are well embedded with multi agency forums that aid practice, and maximise the benefit of support services available for families. CFS Staff members

Links with the Community

Cumbria Family Support is well known in the area with voluntary and statutory agencies and community groups. We have a good reputation and have the trust of those we support and work with. Our commitment to provide a good service and our well established track record is known and recognised by:

The Mothers’ Union who donate goods for Hampers at Christmas and provide some of the families with financial help to have a break or a day out through their Away From It All fund.

The Penrith Lions who always find the money for us to hold Christmas parties for the children we support. They have also helped young people financially to further their education.

CFM Cash for kids who support the families at Christmas with their toy appeal.

Queen Elizabeth Grammar school who collect and wrap toys for children at Christmas. Swansway/Carlisle Audi who have donated goods and activity packs across the last year for our families

CFM Radio Cumbria Family Support has been asked to comment on a number of headline articles in relation to the effects of Covid for the families we support across the last year.

Looking Ahead

Have been so fortunate to be able to adapt and continue to deliver our high quality family Support and Contact Centre services across the last year which we hope you have enjoyed reading about. However it would be remiss not to look ahead to new developments for 2021-2022 and beyond. Some of the highlights we hope to be telling you about in more detail in next year’s review are:
