## for the year ended 31 March 2022
The Trustees present their report and the unaudited financial statements for the year ended 31[st] March 2022. Included within the trustees’ report is the directors’ report as required by company law.
Reference and administrative information set out on page 1 forms part of this report. The financial statements comply with current statutory requirements, the memorandum and articles of association and the Statement of Recommended Practice - Accounting and Reporting by Charities: SORP applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with FRS 102.
## **Objectives and activities**
Extract from The Memorandum of Association of High Peak CVS dated 2002 and amended 2010.
“The Charity’s objects are to promote and assist any charitable purpose for the benefit of the community, in particular but not exclusively, in the local government district of the High Peak in Derbyshire and its neighbourhood (hereinafter called “the area of benefit”) and, in particular, the prevention and relief of poverty, the advancement of education, the advancement of health, social and community advancement, the advancement of culture, science, arts and heritage and the advancement of environmental protection and improvement:
Provided that in carrying out these charitable objects, the charity will seek to challenge all forms of oppression and inequality and to give priority to working with people whose full participation in society is limited by economic, political and social disadvantage”.
Our Mission is to improve the quality of life for individuals, groups and communities by enabling a vibrant and sustainable voluntary and community sector that is valued throughout the High Peak.
High Peak CVS’s primary focus is to build the capacity of voluntary and community groups to help them make a positive difference to their communities. To this end our team deliver high quality support to groups across the High Peak by providing information, advice, development support and training at our base in Whaley Bridge. As a local infrastructure organisation we also represent the voluntary sector in a wide range of areas particularly in association with public sector statutory agencies. This includes pressing for adequate investment to ensure the continuation and expansion of their work.
Our main activities and who we aim to support are described below. All activities focus on improving the quality of life in communities by supporting the development and sustainability of voluntary and community groups and addressing identified community needs and are undertaken to further our charitable purposes for the public benefit.
The Directors review the aims, objectives and activities each year. This report looks at what High Peak CVS has achieved and the outcomes of its work in the reporting period. The Directors report details the success of each key activity and the benefits brought to those groups of people that it is set up to help. The review also helps the Directors ensure our aims, objectives and activities remain focused on our stated purposes.
The Directors have referred to the guidance contained in the Charity Commission's general guidance on public benefit when reviewing our aims and objectives and in planning our future activities. In particular, the Directors consider how planned activities will contribute to the aims and objectives that have been set.

## **Achievements and performance**
High Peak CVS is committed to developing the capacity of voluntary and community groups to make their valuable work as effective as possible. This includes individual support for groups just setting up as well as ongoing support to existing groups who face challenges or who seek to expand their work. Through contact with groups our team offers information, funding advice, bespoke informal training and development as a part of our support services.
## **Operational**
During this period we have been able to add some stability to staffing levels and services as we maintained 14 members of the team plus a dedicated Core of volunteers. This consistency allowed the organisation to engage with a greater number of groups and offer further support to individuals and partners.
## **Funding**
This year saw the development of new funding opportunities that were accessed to further develop our services in response to the pandemic and the impact of our local community. Our CORE funding through Derbyshire County Council, High Peak Borough Council, NHS Tameside and Glossop CCG and NHS Derby and Derbyshire CCG has stayed consistent which has been essential to our CORE aims and objectives however the introduction of the new Integrated Care Board in the new financial year and will bring together the two CCGs has caused uncertainty around future funding. In addition the review of the Derbyshire County Council infrastructure grant started proposed 44% cuts to the voluntary sector in the High Peak is still in the background and we are expecting this to be revisited in the new financial year.
Our Bereavement Service continues to be funded through the National Lottery Community Fund and this is confirmed until March 2023 and we are looking at opportunities to extend and develop this much needed service further.
Our Social Prescribing service across the High Peak (excluding Glossop) continues to go from strength to strength with the team now consisting of 7 Social Prescribing Link Workers who work with our local Primary Care Network and other agencies to support the local community. This aims at linking in patients from 8 surgeries across the district with community led initiatives and support groups. Funding for this started in December 2019 and has now been confirmed to run until at least March 2024.
Alongside our CORE funding and those mentioned above, we have received support from a number of additional funders including D2N2 c/o Nottingham City Council, Foundation Derbyshire, NAVCA VCS Emergency Partnership and Derbyshire Police and Crime Commissioner that have all provided additional capacity to help develop our offer and continue to provide much needed support during an incredibly difficult year.
## **Networking and Representation**
High Peak CVS represents and advocates for the voluntary sector in a number of strategic policy platforms such as 3D (Newly Named Derby and Derbyshire Infrastructure Alliance), Derbyshire County Council Local Response Forum (Tactical Group), Derbyshire County Council Community Response Forum, PLACE Alliance, Community Resilience Forum, Health and Wellbeing Partnership, Primary Care Network and Joined Up Care Derbyshire amongst others.
We are part of the High Peak Alliance which consists of our partners at New Mills and District Volunteer Centre, The Bureau (Glossop) and Connex Community Support (Buxton) aimed at offering a collaborative and joined up approach to community development and support across the whole of the High Peak.

## High Peak CVS
## Trustees’ annual report
## for the year ended 31 March 2022
As part of our group engagement, we feed back to statutory bodies responsible for setting health objectives across the High Peak in strategic meetings and we also work with our Small Groups Advisory Board who help us shape our vision and support for the local community groups.
In addition, we chair the High Peak Community Voice forum that brings together local community and voluntary groups to share resources, ideas and challenges as well as introducing key strategic partners to groups to help influence decision makers on the frontline of community support.
All of these are key strategic platforms that offer us an opportunity to link in with priorities and work collectively to involve the voluntary sector in key decision making processes moving forward.
## **Community Development**
This year has seen the first full year of our brand new Membership package offering an all inclusive support package for groups across the High Peak. As we focus on increased engagement across the sector, the membership offers a number of benefits including promotion, workshops, newsletters, funding support and 1 to 1 support sessions to help develop and sustain our local groups. During this period we have recruited 112 new groups as members which gives us a total of 325 groups we worked with over the 12 months and a total of 764 that we have access to across all our databases and partnerships.
Our CORE support ranges from providing advice and direction on matters such as initial setting up, constitutional and governance issues, fundraising, marketing, forward planning and group dynamics. As a result, group members have developed confidence, skills and experience that have helped them to maximise the effectiveness of their group’s activities, which in turn benefit members of their community. In total, 325 groups have received some level of direct support from High Peak CVS during this period which is up 36% from the previous year. This is due to the increased demand caused from the pandemic, groups looking to restart or set up and also preempting the cost of living crisis which is already showing negative impact on the health and wellbeing of the population alongside the obvious financial challenges.
In addition, we facilitate a Small Group Advisory Board which involves representatives of local groups that feedback issues, concerns as well as offer guidance on our work which is essential in informing our objectives and meeting the needs of our community.
We have two part time Development Workers that support our members directly alongside a part time Communications Officer who aims to increase engagement with local groups and promote their services and needs across the High Peak.
In addition, our Funding Officer offers more complex support to groups in accessing new funding streams, completing applications and proof-reading their work. During the year we have successfully supported groups in securing at least £35,926 through direct support, grants and/or advice including the Five Ways to Well Being and Small Grants which we administer on behalf of Derbyshire County Council Public Health.
## **Social Prescribing**
The Social Prescribing service enables GP surgeries to refer people to a social prescribing link worker. Link workers give people time, focusing on ‘what matters to them’ and taking a holistic approach to people’s health and wellbeing. They connect people to local partners, community groups and agencies for practical and emotional support.
Social prescribing means that you can build your support by working with a link worker who knows what is available and can support you to access these services. Together with the link worker you can discuss your needs and identify the support that will help you to manage you own health and wellbeing more effectively and achieve your own personal goals.

## Trustees’ annual report
## for the year ended 31 March 2022
The service works closely with the local voluntary sector and has developed relationships with statutory partners such as the NHS and Derbyshire County Council, amongst others. The service continues to develop partnerships with external agencies to open up the referral process and allow more people to access this essential support.
During the year, the service has continued to open up referral pathways to external agencies including Adult Social Care and Occupational Therapists with the aim of opening up further in the future. On average, the service was receiving over 100 referrals per Quarter during 2021-22 and we are fully expecting this to continue to increase going forward. Between January and March 2022, the team received 106 referrals and linked these into 274 local services or support networks via direct referrals and/or signposting.
## **Bereavement Support Groups**
Our Bereavement Groups, funded through the National Lottery Community Fund, offers support to adults that are dealing with the effects of bereavement. Our model offers face to face peer support but during the pandemic we were forced to adapt and offer a variety of face to face, online and telephone support.
For much of the last year we were an exempt service to the lock down guidance, with careful measures in place we were able, not only to return to, but expand on our much needed face to face service. During the early part of 2021 we also retained our 1-2-1 support calls for those isolating or not quite ready to return to face to face support.
In April 2021 we opened two new Bereavement support groups, Buxton daytime group and a second group in partnership with Blythe House Hospice in Chapel. Towards the end of the financial year we started developing our new Hope Valley group. Five bereavement support groups are now running ensuring adults in need of bereavement support have a local face to face service.
We continued to welcome referrals directly from those bereaved themselves and their families, GPs, care coordinators and surgery staff teams, clinics, hospitals, hospices and care homes. In addition we had referrals from Social services and mental health teams, counselling services, carer’s organisations and funeral homes.
In 2021 we were again successful with an additional Lottery Covid Legacy Grant which allowed us to extend the service and our staff and volunteers were able to access specialist trauma training, in addition we were also able to start positive relationships with the local colleges and now have policies ready to welcome student placements in the near future.
During this period we received a total of 85 separate referrals which led to the delivery of 95 group sessions and in total we have directly supported 178 clients during this period.
Indirect support is also given with families and other loved ones more reassured their relative / friend was receiving good support. Services and partner organisations having a quality service to refer their clients to.
We have several other working relationships with other specialist bereavement services such as SOBS (Survivors of Bereavement by Suicide), the Tomorrow Project (also suicide focus) and Reuben’s retreat (for grieving parents), who will all accept our referrals and also make referrals to our service.

## **Social Connectedness**
In partnership with Public Health, Connex Community Support, The Bureau and New Mills and District Volunteer Centre, we have led on the Social Connectedness stream aiming to support those suffering from, or at risk of, loneliness and isolation. As part of this work we have been working closely with partners focusing on three main areas, Digital Exclusion, Communication and Community Engagement and Befriending in the High Peak. This work is ongoing and looks at developing a long term sustainable strategy to tackle these issues. Funding has been extended for a further year until March 2023.
## **Community Engagement**
Our Community Messaging Partnership project, funded via Public Health, continued throughout the year with emphasis moving towards more generic health advice alongside the usual COVID updates. We were able to work closely with our partners at The Bureau in Glossop who run the same project and enabled us both to share resources to improve the engagement with our population. This funding continues until December 2022.
After consultation with our Small Groups Advisory Panel, we felt there was a gap across the High Peak in allowing a platform for voluntary and community groups to share ideas, challenges and link directly into decision making partnerships at a strategic level. As a result, we developed the High Peak Community Voice forum which brings together local groups of all sizes to help influence decisions that are made across sectors. This forum will help High Peak CVS represent the voluntary sector on a much more informed footing and offer confidence from the sector that their voice is not only important, but is also listened to. We currently have 24 organisations represented as part of Community Voice with many more likely to join in the coming months.
Also, working closely with our voluntary and statutory partners, we facilitated and led on a number of initiatives aimed at engaging with various sections of the community. Alongside High Peak Borough Council and Rural Action Derbyshire, we led research with our local food banks, community kitchens and food distribution networks to understand better how the pandemic had affected their services and how we can better support them in the future with an ultimate aim to establish a strategy for long term sustainability and collaborative working. Recommendations were made and a local forum is scheduled for the new financial year to develop these relationships and support these essential services.
During the year, our team have hosted 6 funding workshops with partners such as Foundation Derbyshire, FORE Trust and Charity Excellence to highlight opportunities for our members and to help support the sustainability of their services.
Engagement with our members and the local High Peak community has continued to develop hugely during the year as we have seen our membership base grow and our reach on social media, website and newsletters has improved.
Our new phone system has enabled us to monitor more effectively the calls we receive, the enquiries by service and better highlights the level of support and signposting that we offer through this means. From July 2021 (when the system was set up) to March 2022 we received 637 calls asking for support. This was broken down as: 282 Community Development/General Enquiries, 144 Social Prescribing, 112 Finance and 99 for Bereavement support. Our biggest means of contact from groups and individuals remains via email online.
## **AGM**
The AGM held on 3[rd] November 2021 saw members coming together to learn more about our work and provided an opportunity to share thoughts and suggestions for the future. Due to the restrictions, this was held again online but saw us welcome new attendees to learn more about our work and recognise the impact the local community had made in an incredibly difficult year.

## Beneficiaries of our services
The role of High Peak CVS is to promote and support a thriving voluntary sector by building the capacity and effectiveness of local voluntary and community organisations. There are estimated to be around 850 voluntary and community groups who are active in High Peak. High Peak CVS has recruited 35 new members during this period and we are working with 325 groups in total.
## **Financial review**
## **Principal funding sources**
Our main grant funders, providing funding towards our administration, representation, and management function ('Core grants’) were High Peak Borough Council, Derbyshire County Council (DCC) and the two Clinical Commissioning Groups that operate in High Peak – NHS Derby and Derbyshire CCG and NHS Tameside and Glossop CCG. All statutory agencies were able to maintain our grants at the same level as the previous year, despite the potential threat of cuts.
We have received additional funding for specific services such as the Bereavement Groups through the National Lottery and Social Prescribing though NHS England, but these do not contribute to the above functions.
The other income sources included occasional short term pieces of consultancy and one off commissioned work such as the Community Messaging Partnership and administering Public Health Small Grants/5 Ways to Wellbeing programme and the Police Crime Com small grants project.
The Board regularly review the costs associated with a responsible wind down, should that become necessary. The Board has designated a reserve to protect these funds.
Several areas of our work have become significantly underfunded in previous years. Our priority remains that of providing voluntary groups and organisations with one to one support. To the extent this work is underfunded by grants, the charity’s general reserves have needed to be used to fund this, but the level of support is continually reviewed to ensure that our reserves are maintained and used appropriately.
## Reserves Policy
High Peak CVS will aim to maintain a general reserve to cover a minimum of 6 months core running costs:
- To meet its statutory and moral obligations towards members of staff in the case of redundancy, sickness or maternity or similar eventualities
- To be able to meet its obligations towards creditors in the event of the dissolution of the organisation
- To ensure continuity of service in the eventuality of gaps in funding caused by late payment
- To ensure that core activity can continue during a period of unforeseen financial difficulty
- To fund innovative or developmental projects that will lead to the enhancement of the organisation’s services, and contribute to the long term sustainability of the organisation
- To make external investments which fulfil the Charity’s general objects, such as in the Manchester Credit Union

## High Peak CVS
## Trustees’ annual report
## for the year ended 31 March 2022
Reserves are held by the charity to operate effectively and to cover the charities moral obligations towards staff and there is ring fenced in the accounts £39,000 in designated funds for this. We will aim to maintain a general reserve to cover a minimum of 6 months core running costs. We wish to protect the charity from major risks. Reserves at the year-end were £206,866 (2021: £240,835) comprising restricted funds of £105,025 (2021: £137,920) and unrestricted funds of £101,841 (2021: £102,915).
## **Plans for the future**
With the current economic uncertainty, especially in public sector finance, and the increasingly competitive funding climate, we are working hard to ensure that we can continue to meet need and deliver the range of services required by High Peak voluntary and community groups, within our available resources. We look continuously at new and creative ways to access funding to ensure our long term sustainability and impact. We will actively expand and develop into areas where:
1. The work involved fits with the High Peak CVS ethos and mission.
2. The work is fully funded by the contracting organisation and does not have to be subsidised from reserves.
3. High Peak CVS is the most appropriate organisation to deliver the work.
Our commitment to developing the service to our members remains key to our future. Ensuring we are offering effective, comprehensive and required support is essential and we will continue to look at working collaboratively with partners and organisations to offer the maximum impact to the community.
In these uncertain times, collaborative working between infrastructure organisations is key and includes our colleagues across the High Peak and those across Derbyshire.
Working closer with health authorities to identify the needs of the community will continue and our presence at high level strategic planning meetings will continue to allow us to voice the concerns and issues facing our members and offer potential solutions to these. Social Prescribing is a priority function across the NHS and High Peak CVS will be a key part of this service across the district, which will help support some of the most vulnerable people to access local community services.

Company law requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charitable company and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including the income and expenditure, of the charitable company for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the trustees are required to:

- Make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent
- State whether applicable UK Accounting Standards and statements of recommended practice have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements

The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charitable company and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charitable company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

Notes to the accounts for the year ended 31 March 2022
## **1 Accounting policies**
The principal accounting policies adopted, judgments and key sources of estimation uncertainty in the preparation of the financial statements are as follows:
## **a Basis of preparation**
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with 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 2015) - (Charities SORP (FRS 102)), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Companies Act 2006.
High Peak CVS meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS102. Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy note.
## **b Preparation of the accounts on a going concern basis**
The trustees consider that there are no material uncertainties about the charitable company's ability to continue as a going concern.
The trustees have made no key judgments which have a significant effect on the accounts.
The trustees do not consider that there are any sources of estimation uncertainty at the reporting date that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amount of assets and liabilities within the next reporting period.
## **c Income**
Income is recognised when the charity has entitlement to the funds, any performance conditions attached to the item(s) of income have been met, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably.
Income from government and other grants, whether ‘capital’ grants or ‘revenue’ grants, is recognised when the charity has entitlement to the funds, any performance conditions attached to the grants have been met, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably and is not deferred.
Income received in advance of a provision of a specified service is deferred until the criteria for income recognition are met.

Notes to the accounts for the year ended 31 March 2022 (continued)
## **d Donated services and facilities**
Donated professional services and donated facilities are recognised as income when the charity has control over the item, any conditions associated with the donated item have been met, the receipt of economic benefit from the use by the charity of the item is probable and that economic benefit can be measured reliably. In accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102), general volunteer time is not recognised; refer to the trustees’ annual report for more information about their contribution.
## **e Interest receivable**
Interest on funds held on deposit is included when receivable and the amount can be measured reliably by the charity; this is normally upon notification of the interest paid or payable by the Bank.
## **f Fund accounting**
Unrestricted funds are available to spend on activities that further any of the purposes of charity.
Designated funds are unrestricted funds of the charity which the trustees have decided at their discretion to set aside to use for a specific purpose.
Restricted funds are donations which the donor has specified are to be solely used for particular areas of the charity’s work or for specific projects being undertaken by the charity.
## **g Expenditure and irrecoverable VAT**
Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to make a payment to a third party, it is probable that settlement will be required and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is classified under the following activity headings:
- Costs of raising funds
- Development Programme
- Strategic Leadership & Powerhouse
- Irrecoverable VAT is charged as a cost against the activity for which the expenditure was incurred.
## **h Operating leases**
Operating leases are leases in which the title to the assets, and the risks and rewards of ownership, remain with the lessor. Rental charges are charged on a straight line basis over the term of the lease.
## **i Tangible fixed assets**
Individual fixed assets costing £1,000 or more are capitalised at cost and are depreciated over their estimated useful economic lives on a straight line basis as follows:
Office furniture & equipment 4 years Office equipment 3 years

Notes to the accounts for the year ended 31 March 2022 (continued)
## **j Cash investments**
Investments are a form of basic financial instrument and are initially recognised at their transaction value and subsequently measured at their fair value as at the balance sheet date using the closing quoted market price. The statement of financial activities includes the net gains and losses arising on revaluation and disposals throughout the year.
The Charity does not acquire put options, derivatives or other complex financial instruments.
The main form of financial risk faced by the charity is that of volatility in equity markets and investment markets due to wider economic conditions, the attitude of investors to investment risk, and changes in sentiment concerning equities and within particular sectors or sub sectors.
## **k Debtors**
Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount due after any trade discount offered. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid net of any trade discounts due.
## **l Cash at bank and in hand**
Cash at bank and cash in hand includes cash and short term highly liquid investments with a short maturity of three months or less from the date of acquisition or opening of the deposit or similar account.
## **m Creditors and provisions**
Creditors and provisions are recognised where the charity has a present obligation resulting from a past event that will probably result in the transfer of funds to a third party and the amount due to settle the obligation can be measured or estimated reliably. Creditors and provisions are normally recognised at their settlement amount after allowing for any trade discounts due.
## **n Pensions**
Employees of the charity are entitled to join a defined contribution ‘money purchase’ scheme. The charity’s contribution is restricted to the contributions disclosed in note 10. There were no outstanding contributions at the year end.
High Peak CVS has two money purchase plans which are managed by Royal London and NEST. The plans invest the contributions made by the employee (the member) and employer in an investment fund in the member's name to build up a pension fund which can then be taken in a form dictated under legislation by the member at normal retirement age (or upon attaining age 55). The charity has no liability beyond making its contributions and paying across the deductions for the member’s contributions. There were no contributions outstanding at the year-end.

||social prescribing is a means of enabling GP surgeries to refer people to|
||a social prescribing link worker. Link workers give people time, focusing|
||on ‘what matters to me’ and taking a holistic approach to people’s|
||health and wellbeing. They connect people to local partners,|
||community groups and agencies for practical and emotional support.|
||The funding enables seven link workers to be employed by High Peak|
||CVS and deliver this service through eight GP Practices across the High|
||Peak (excluding Glossopdale).|

|Partnership|infrastructure organisations an opportunity to link into the National|
||response and feedback local issues. The aim of this fund is to create a|
||pro-active strategy for dealing with National Emergencies across the|
||Voluntary Sector. In addition, we produced a Food Distribution Survey|
||to engage with local providers such as Food Banks, Community|
||Pantries, Luncheon Clubs and Community Cafes to understand the|

|Bingham Trust|Funding was allocated to our Social Prescribing service to allow Link|
|---|---|
|Engagement Fund|Workers to identify and support those referred to the Social Prescribing|
||Project. The Engagement Fund will be used flexibly to provide one-off|

||barrier living in the Buxton, Derbyshire area only. Examples of how the|
||fund are used include; transport to access services or groups, training,|
||one off cleaning sessions, garden clearance, skip hire, minor repairs|
||and small pieces of equipment which will have a major impact on living|
||conditions.|
|Public Health Community|Working in partnership with Public Health, this funding was used to|
|Messaging Partnership -|recruit a part time Communications Officer to look at developing links|
|Comms PH|between the local community and messaging around the COVID-19|
||pandemic. Linking with community groups, businesses, individuals and|
||services we created a two way communication network to feed in key|
||public health messaging as well as acting as the voice for the local|
||community around local issues and concerns. This has now developed|
||into communicating key health messages across the network and|
||directly into local communities.|
|European Regional|Funding that allows High Peak CVS to improve our IT systems to offer a|
|Development Fund -|more comprehensive and efficient service to our members. This|
|D2N2 IT|includes support in improving our phone systems and improves our|

||through new equipment and allows us to operate more effectively.|
|DCC COVID Expenses|Working alongside our colleagues in the High Peak Alliance, High Peak|
||CVS managed this fund which allowed volunteer centres to claim|
||expenses for their volunteers that were responding to the COVID-19|
||pandemic.|

|Corona Virus Relief Fund|form new partnerships, bring individuals together to look at collective|
||working to address common problems some of which were created by|
||the pandemic and some of which were ongoing issues exacerbated by|
||the pandemic. The funding was part of the agreed Covid-19 After Plan|
||Shock Recovery.|
||We used the grant to increase the hours of three posts within HPCVS|
||which enabled our organisation to play a central role in co-ordinating|
||the voluntary and community sector response to Covid 19. The|
||expanded roles were those of the CEO, the Group Development Officer|
||and the Administrator. The CEO led on our strategic role co-ordinating|
||the VCS response to the pandemic. The Groups Development Officer|
||brought together new forums, public meetings of individuals who were|
||particularly vulnerable and shared advice / information which helped|
||groups deal with the impact of the pandemic. The administrator|
||oversaw a massive upgrade of the HPCVS group database to enable us|
||to reach out to all its members and the wider voluntary and community|
||sector.|
|Foundation Derbyshire S|This funding was allocated to our Social Prescribing service to allow|
|P Bursary|Link Workers to identify and support those referred to the Social|

## Notes to the accounts for the year ended 31 March 2022 (continued)
The Fore Transition Fund The aim of this fund is to increase the hours of our Group Development Worker at a time when groups are in urgent need of support and are facing the biggest challenge the voluntary sector has encountered.
By working with groups to help them continue to provide a service we also widen the options for the isolated individuals we are supporting through our social prescribing service. We are also looking to promote best practice with groups to ensure all new members / volunteers receive the welcome and the support they need to have a positive and life enhancing experience.
- Futures S P Work Funding was allocated to our Social Prescribing service to allow Link Workers to identify, help and support learners to move closer to the labour market, volunteering or training. This allowed clients to access support and development opportunities to increase their own development.
- DCC Members’ Funding was provided by a Local Councillor to help purchase equipment Community Leadership for our IT upgrade which enabled us to engage wider with the local Fund RG community and our members and improve the support we could offer them.
Living Well Derbyshire This is a new initiative aimed at new ways of delivering mental health and Derby Wellbeing and wellbeing services and support in across Derbyshire. High Peak CVS have worked closely with our local Collaborative to support this initiative and promote the services across our team and members.
