## **CHAIRMAN’S REPORT 2022** 

As part of my inspiration for this message I looked at the detail of my report in 2021, the closing paragraph read as follows: - 

_Despite all the challenges, Age Concern Stourbridge and Halesowen remain in good shape, ready to meet new ones as we move towards a post COVID world and will play its part in ensuring people who require, or seek our services are not left behind, and have access to the services and support they need. I am sure the next 12 months will be a year in the next chapter in the life of Age Concern Stourbridge and Halesowen, supporting older people, “Making a Difference”, and long may that continue._ 

These are problematic times we live in, and our operations at Elton Centre in the last 12 months very much reflect my remarks above, the only exception is that that we are seeing a much wider age range of clients that seek our help and advice, rather than “older people”. Significantly we continue in “Making a Difference.” 

Our world is currently a fragile place for the several reasons we are all aware of, and some of the people that attend Elton Centre are very concerned about even basic needs, such as health, food, and finance. Thankfully, and increasingly, we continue to offer the advice and assistance to individuals in the community, providing solutions, a clearer way forward for them, and the associated peace of mind, resulting in achieving a better quality of life for many. Our professional team of volunteer advisers continue to make a commitment to share that most precious resource – their time – to make life better for those who are in need. 

I have no doubt that the months ahead will be a period of fresh challenges for all of us, however at Age Concern our continuing focus will remain on the importance in providing support to all who  need it, and that the Elton Centre and its associated activities will continue to flourish as a “hub” for the community, providing the experience of social interaction and companionship. 

Once again, I want to thank my fellow trustees for their continuing commitment to Age Concern and Elton Centre and thank them for the support they give to me in conducting my role as Chairman. Many thanks to Kim Guest, our Centre Manager, for her hard work and antisocial hours.  Finally, to Brian Mitchell, my thanks for his continued valued support and guidance as Company Secretary.

## **STRUCTURE, MANAGEMENT AND GOVERNANCE** 

Age Concern Stourbridge and Halesowen is a local, independent charity which has been providing care to older people for over 40 years. Our Elton Centre in Stourbridge provides a range of services including day care, leisure activities such as bowls, exercises, art & crafts etc., plus an information office for advice and help on benefits, health and social care etc. The Elton Centre is also available for hire by local organisations. 

Exercise classes are also provided at The Cornbow Hall, Halesowen. 

Age Concern S&H is incorporated as a charitable company limited by guarantee and not having a share capital. Accordingly, the trustees of the charity are also directors for the purposes of company law. The constitution of the charity is contained within its Memorandum and Articles of Association. 

Management of the Charity is by the Board of Trustees/Directors who are committed to the principles and practice of good governance as issued by the Charity Commission and as contained in the various associated Codes for the voluntary and community sector. 

Annual accounts are subject to an independent examination by an appropriately qualified Chartered Accountant. 

## **ACHIEVEMENTS & PERFORMANCE 2022** 

## **Financial Review:** 

A year of recovery following government restrictions and lockdowns due to Covid-19. As reported in last year’s accounts the Elton Centre closed on 20 March 2020, and re-opened in May 2021. As part of a survival strategy the Board made the difficult decision to make 6 staff redundant in August 2020 and to appoint one member of staff as a new Centre Manager with effect from 1[st] September 2020. 

Accounts for the year ended 31.03.22 show a net increase in funds (“gain”) of £9,526, as compared with the previous year’s loss of £24,621. This gain follows a number of years of reported losses, so an encouraging result. 

Total cash reserves as at 31.03.22 were £102,408, as compared with £94,362 as at 31.03.21, an increase of £8,046. Again an encouraging result, in part due an increase in bookings by local organisations and families. Since re-opening in May 2021 this additional income from bookings has enabled the charity to maintain its cash reserves going forward in support of older people and the community generally. 

The Elton Centre is owned by the charity, with a market value in the region of £285,00 (professional valuation carried out February 2017). 

Full financial statements prepared by Colin Dalton Limited form part of this Annual Report. A summary of these statements is provided in Appendices 1 – 4 attached to help readers better understand the charity’s results. Supporting notes are included in “Activities Review” below. 

Appendix 1. Our Results in Brief; 

Appendix 2. Pie Chart - Income & Expenditure for 2022; 

Appendix 3. Bar Chart – Income & Expenditure for 2022 & 2021; 

Appendix 4. Detailed Statement of Financial Activities for 2022. 

## **Activities Review:** 

## Leisure Activities 

Since re-opening in May 2021 our Centre Manager, Kim Guest, has been successful in attracting a wider range of bookings and age groups which have been important in making the 

- 4 - 



Centre viable and more vibrant going forward. This includes older clients returning for a range of activities including bowls, art & crafts, exercises (including yoga, tai chi), and harmonica. 

Bookings also include a local pharmacist using the Centre for carrying out Covid-19 vaccinations. This not only generates extra income for the charity but also provides a valuable community service, as well as promoting the charity’s location and facilities. 

In the year ended 31 March 2022 these activities brought in total income of £34,694 (2021: £3,704). 

## Café / Kitchen 

During lockdowns our café/restaurant remained closed and thus no meals service was possible for our day care clients or “drop-in” visitors. Restricted cafe facilities were introduced in July 2021 under a trial franchise arrangement (i.e. operated by a third party), but unfortunately discontinued in November 2021. Since that date the Centre Manager and volunteers have operated a popular Sunday Lunch menu, and a growing Thursday/Friday meal menu, plus drinks and snacks on other days. The kitchen also caters for families hiring the Centre for parties. 

To date it has not been practicable to re-introduce a full Day Care service due to a lack of staff, but our older clients do still enjoy using the café for meals and companionship. 

In the year ended 31 March 2022 kitchen activities brought in total income of £2,877, with potential for further growth in the new year (2021: £0). 

## Other Income 

Other income received in the year of £16,903 from donations & grants, fund raising events etc. (2021: £69,424). 

Grants in year of £11,082 related to final grants received from Covid-19 Business Support grants and Job Retention Scheme (2021: total grants £65,733) 

Fund raising events raised £1,747, including skittles, quizzes, afternoon teas, Black Country Day, and our annual Summer fayre attended by the Mayor of Dudley, Cllr Sue Greenaway. Donations raised a further £3,329, and other miscellaneous receipts and interest of £745; a total of £5,821 (2021: £3,691). 

The charity is grateful to those people who supported us by attending events and making donations. 

## Information Office 

An important part of the charity’s services is providing information and advice to older people on a range of individual problems including Attendance Allowance, care home financing, benefit checks, mobility, etc. – many of which now require completion of claims on-line. 

Upgrades to our computer system, including OneDrive to share information, have been completed, and a new VoIP telephone system installed. 

This is a free service, although clients are invited to make donations. 

With the current cost of living pressures we have seen an increase in enquiries, and in the issue of grants and shopping vouchers. 

This service is provided by a team of volunteers with CAB experience. Currently they see between 55 – 137 clients per month. 

## **Expenditure:** 

Total expenditure in the year of £44,948 as compared with £97,749 in the previous year, a reduction of £52,801. Major savings in staffing and redundancy costs with staff numbers reduced from 8 to 1 with effect from September 2020. Thanks are due to those volunteers who continue to support the charity in its day-to-day needs including the Information office, kitchen and gardening. 

- 5 - 



**Expenditure: continued** … 

Other savings in costs were achieved by a review of costs generally, including long term contracts; offset by increased costs supporting renewed activities, including kitchen purchases, tutors and the hire of the Cornbow Hall, Halesowen. 

## **FUTURE PLANS** 

As reported in the Chairman’s report (page 3) the charity remains in good shape and ready to meet the challenges that lie ahead. The Board’s commitment is to continue the charity’s important work of caring for older people who often live alone. Following the loss of local authority grants in 2017 and the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic our future plans include promoting the hire of our Elton Centre as a meeting place (“hub”) for the local community generally and for various other group activities – thus generating valuable extra income for the needs of the charity. 

The following strategies have been identified: 

- To ensure that the building and equipment infrastructures at the Elton Centre are “fitfor-purpose”. Improved security measures, computer upgrades and a new VoIP telephone system have been put in place. Future work plans include improved lighting, and replacement hand rails to our 2 portacabins. Where appropriate grant funding towards these projects will be sought. 

- Due to cost constraints the support of volunteers is seen as essential to meet users’ needs whilst also ensuring that the charity remains viable. As business grows the Board recognise the need to recruit permanent skilled staff to support our Centre Manager and to provide the ongoing resources to be a successful organisation. 

This includes the recruitment of new trustees with the necessary skills and commitment to implement future strategies and changes. 

- Currently we are unable to provide a full Day Care service for our less abled clients due to the loss of carers, kitchen staff, transport, and limited space in our remaining centre. However, the situation remains under review as the charity returns to a more secure future. 

- The development of our Café/Restaurant service is considered a priority in terms of generating increased footfall and income. 

- With the closure of other local offices, such as Age UK Dudley and Stourbridge Citizens Advice, there is a recognised need to extend our information services for older people. Improved computer and telephone systems have been completed and additional trained volunteers recruited. Future plans include promoting our Information Office services via local media and by forming closer links with other community organisations e.g. Dudley CVS. 

This is a free service. The Board will seek support and funding from local authorities as part of their statutory duties for adult social care. 

- Age Concern S&H is a member of a Limited Liability Partnership (LLP) with other local organisations and charities. The LLP was formed to explore tender opportunities and to prepare bids using the shared resources of its members. Any successful bid will be beneficial to the charity’s funding and future growth. A current bid awaiting a decision relates to a Healthy Communities Together project. 

- Greater use of Social Media generally to promote the presence and services of “Age Concern Stourbridge & Halesowen @ the Elton Centre”. Not only as charity for older people, but also as a centre for hire by other local community groups and families. 

The charity’s website www.ageconcernsh.org.uk has recently been re-launched to promote what is happening in Age Concern Stourbridge & Halesowen.
