CEO INTRODUCTION
Elders Voice continues to provide practical supporl while promoting the social value that comes
with the participation of older adults in all aspects of Brent life.
Our Accident & Prevention Handyperson servi￿ continued to help people remain safe in their
homes, undertaking all manner of jobs from the straightforward, for example moving furniture, to
more complexjobs such as the fitting of grab rails or making stepped entrances more accessible.
The service was also involved in a pilot programme supporting people being discharged from
hospital, who did not reach the criteria for having formal support from social care agencies. This
cohort of patients were at risk of returning to hospital because their homes were not safe to live
in. Having a handyperson checking the property beforehand enabled a safer discharge from
hospital.
We also saw an increase in the number of people accessing our Wellbeing Centre and have an
even split of private clients and clients referred by social workers and funded through social care
commissioning.
Unfortunately funding for our Older Person's Floating Support Service was cut as part of a larger
review of funding by Brent Council. Commissioners were required to make savings across all
social care provisions. This unfortunately resulted in the closure of the service, making eight
members of staff redundanl, which heavily impacted upon our finances for the year. However,
we were able to successfully move Clients from the Servi￿ to other provisions and were able to
close the seNice without leaving anyone without access to support,
As social care funding shifts away from preventative activities to more respite care, we coniinued
to seek funding to fill the gap in this style of provision for older people. We were able to provide
free weight training classes and managed to continue with ourzumba and Yoga classes. We also
partnered with differenl organisations to deliver joint projects that included music and dan
activities, and visits to and from local museums.
The finance and administration team of Elders Voice ensured that our finances were diligently
managed. Financial stability and good governance ensured that Elders Voice maintained its
viability in times of uncertainty and change, while making the organisation more agile and
resourceful in reacting to ever changing circumstances.
Elders Voice is an organisation that prevails in difficult times due to the dedication and creative
approach of staff, volunteers and Trustees. We will continue to campaign for a more collaborative
approach to developing better services for older people, leading this narrative with commissioning
teams, local politicians, and local Social Care teams.

and our investments are covered by the Financial Services Compensation Scheme.

exposed to. We undertake regular risk assessment5 of our services and activities, All identifiable
risks have been examined and the appropriate systems. procedures and training have been
established to minimize these risks and their impact on the charity. should the risk materialise.
To mitigate the effect of disastets, we consistently review our project plans, budgets, project
outcomes and policies and procedures at Board Meetings and Senior Management meetings.
We employ a specialist support organization, Ellis Whittam, to advise us on our responsibilities
regarding health and safety and employment issues. They indemnify us against any legal action
provided we follow that advice.
The organisation's risk assessment is reviewed annually by the Board of Trustees to identify and
undertake new areas of work, income generation and project development. and reposition Ihe
charily so that it can operate effectively at a time ofconlinued reduced public funding and changes
to areas of Service delivery.
ACHIEVEIVIENT AND PERFORMANCE
Handyperson Servlce.
Elders Voice continues to support people to maintain their independence within their own homes.
The service is funded by Brent Council and this year the team completed over 800 jobs. These
ranged from fitting handrails, replacing kitchen and bathroom taps, draught proofing, repairing
curtain rails, rebuilding front doorsteps, fitting shelves, and decommissioning redundant security
fittings. Each job, however small, makes living at home for an older person, safer, more
accessible and more enjoyable.

Elders Voice
Re
ort of the Trustees for the
ear ended 31 March 2024
With 300 households supported this year, the Servi￿ conb'nues to be popular and much
cherished.
Funding from Independent Age for our Handyperson Advice Service ended in November.
However, the National Lottery were able to step in to provide a further three months funding to
continue the seNice to the end of the year. This meant that in total over 350 people received
information, advice on saving money, with eligibility checks offered, to see if they were able to
claim support from Ihe government or social services.
We are adding value to the handyperson contract with several social impact activities, including
hosting events so older people could have more access to local democratic processes and be
involved in co-creation actiwties. We also run an annual 'Open Day, which provides advice around
home safety and security, with specialist advice from the local police and fire services.
In partnership with Age UK Harrow, Hillingdon and Brent, the Handyperson team ran a small pilot
to test the effectiveness of a service that supported the hospital discharge of older people,
focusing on older people that were not eligible for support through the NHS hospital discharge
programmes. The results showed that having a handyperson available to facilitate returning
home, moving furniture, checking kitchen appliances and in one case clearing broken glass from
a kitchen floor, made a substantial difference to the person's positive experience of being
discharged. It also uncovered a huge gap in the perception by clinical and social care teams as
to who may need support leaving hospital compared with the actual number of older people thal
would benefit from a formal supported discharge prO￿ss. Every safe disGharge reduces the
potential for the person to return to hospital.
Oldér Person's Floating Support
After seven years of providing housing support for older people the funding for this specialist
service was withdrawn. Elders Voice had already decided not to retender for the contract as
initially the local authority had proposed a lower contract value. which would have been, in Elders
Voices view, too little to be able to maintain a qualily service. As Brent was unable to find a
replacement contractor, the decision was made within the council to end the seNice.
Wellbeing Centre.
We are continuing with our ambition to develop our Wellbeing Centre into a vibrant community
centre. We were successful in applying for several grants to develop different activities which we
offer up lo the local community.
Warmer rooms initiative
Funded by The Kingsbury Charity to support local residents affected by the cost-of-living crisis
we opened up part of our Wellbeing Centre as a wam spa￿, where people could use the spa
to have a hot drink, socialise with other people and also take part in some of the Wellbeing Centre
activities.
Generations t ether
A successful application through The NCIL participatory grant making process, where local
residents allocate grants to local and national charities. Elders Voice pitched for funding to work
with our partners LEAP GIC and Princess Frederica Primary School to co-create intergenerational
spaces, where different generations can come togelher and learn from each other. These projects
increase all participants, self-esteem and break the CyGle of loneliness and isolation.

Back to Movement
Funding from Track Academy supported exercise classes, and also explored competitive sports
with our centre clients. including football, volleyball, and table lennis. As we get older and even if
we acquire long term health conditions. our competitive streak remains. The Back to Movement
programme keeps that spirit alive in accessible ways. The funding also supported preventive
exercise programmes including..
Our Zumba Gold group that brings people together to participate in loud, high-energy
dance and exercise activities. The group also meets to scKialise, celebrate birthdays, and
has an active ￿atsApp group to keep in touch and check up on each other's wellbeing.
For the less agile. and those seeking quieter spaTrs, the Yoga group meet weekly lo take
part in chair-based Yoga. This is a safe space for people to relax and explore their own
spirituality, while maintaining flexibility, core strength and mental wellbeing
Wemble
wei
hts
Funded by the Wembley National Stadium Trust, we introduced our clients to weight training as
2 way of maintaining fitness. as well as building strength and balance to reduce the impact of
falls. Group and individual sessions were available. This has proved to be very popular, and
sessions are always well attended.
Care
ivers talkin
circle
Bringing carers of older people together lo explore care giving issues in depth, the talking circle
enabled carer5 to share their experiences, knowledge, and opinions in an atmosphere of
exploration and collaboration. We explored the barriers that statutory services put irÈ place that
create problems for a family carer. These discussions will be used as a starting point for a
potential new service focused on care givers wellbeing.
Ukulele at Elders Voice
Mainly self-funded, a small group of budding musicians are meeting weekly to learn to play the
ukulele.
Reminiscence Service
Funded by a grant from Brent Health Matters, via another participatory grant process, we worked
in residential homes, the Bhakti Dharma centre and Len Williams Court, helping residents
living with dementia to use their five senses to untap past memories.
A Life with Brands
In partnership with the Museum of Brands participants take a nostalgicjourney through 200 years
of consumer culture, triggering memories that lead to reminiscence and slorytelling.
Elders
erformin
A small troop of older people explored the concept of journeys, in spoken word, poetry and song.
This was a co-produced production, starting with workshops that explored the key themes of what
a performance could be, developed these themes into a single idea, then wrote and produced a
one hour show that was perfomed to an invited audience at our day centre.

Raising awareness and challenging stigma
ueens Park
Elders Voice took its yearly pla￿ at the Queens Park Festival. This year's theme was
remembering people we love. We asked people attending the festival lo write the name of an
older person and why they loved them on a paper leaf. The leaf then joined other leaves to
become a tree of remembering.
Newsletter
Elders Voice continued to promote the inclusion ofolder people in day-to-day community life. Our
quarterly newsletter is sent out to our members, fundraisers, local politicians, 2nd commissioning
teams. The newsletter provides a range ofarticles to challenge the stigma ofaging, gives practical
tips and includes quizzes, learning opportunities while also highlighting local services and
community events.
Blenheim Triathlon
Our Iriathlon team compeled in the annual Blenheim Triathlon competition alongside a number
of local athletes, under the collective name of Kensal Tri. Under the banner of "making aging a
worthwhile journey" the team helped promote Elders Voice's charitable objectives to a new
audience while also fundraising.
Social
rescribin
Elders Vcice was invited by Brent Public Health lo look at ways that social prescribing could be
delivered outside of GP surgeries. There are many communities in Brent that are not engaged
with NHS seNices, including not being registered with local GPS. It was recognised that
organlsations like Elders Voice provided informal guidance and advice to many people in their
local community. The task was to find ways that could tap into the knowledge of grass roots
organisations.
Da
ortunities
Elders Voice has been working with social care commissioning teams to look at how placements
to day opportunities can be made more efficient and effeclive. Elders Voice has also facilitated
discussions around the provision of council funded transport, an area idenlified as problematic
when it came to getting people from their homes to day centre provisions.
staff and volunteers
Elders Voice 18 aculely aware of the continued commitment from staff, volunteers, and Trustees.
The charily provides access to an Employee Assistance Programme, which offers advice on a
wide range of issues as well as counselling and wellbeing support.
Staff are actively encouraged to join in with the organisation's co-creation workshops and have
input into the strategic direction of the organisation. can join sub committees wÉth Trustees and
are encouraged to develop their own service ideas.
