CHAIRMAN'S STATEMENT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021
The chaiyman pre¥ents hi3 5Lilement fDf the yeav.
Earfier this year rumblings of a seriou5 disease were arculating in the media and concerns of this were
increasing daily. No one al this slage could have envisageJJ just how serious an impact CovTd-19 would have on
our lives. At the end of March. these con￿m5 had lumed into reality as we d05ed our dubs and other serwces.
Calls started coming in from dients, their relatives and friends as we entered into the first natyonal lod(down with
people hawng lo seff-isolale. Suddenly communittes and organisalions like ours were setting up emergency
shoppirbg and essential daily delweries. Contsct wa phone and technology, produThng actiMty packs, recrurting
new volunteers to meet the increased demand for help needed, along with rtrshaping the way we could continue
to support our most vulnerable dients became our new focus.
Responding to this ￿S1$ was a rnassive chdlenge, I￿1 we were detemiined that AUKD would be there, as we
have a￿ayS pmmised. when we are needed. New seNits5 such as the Shopping Sèrviee. bereavement and
Covid-19 support netsvorks with the Hospital Aftercare Servi￿ king developed. Our active living and dementia
clubs. befriending. handyperson. earty intervention. information and slgnposting being rwhaped to continue lo
deliver our seNces.
I cènnot stste highfy enough just hrxw wnazing OUT slaff and ￿lunteers were in stepping up and eTrsuTing oldeT
people and their carers received the support they needed. I wa5 Inuedib￿ proud to be part of suth a wonderful
organi5atron.
With multiple leKkdowns and changing g¢)vemment guidelines rt has been a drffi￿1l Path for us lo plan a way
ahead. However, we have ?tways taken a positwe wproath, that at some 5tsge we would overcome this
pandemic. As such AUKD has been preparing for the time that we can start delivering servtces again. with a
resource. infom7ation and technoEogy hub, flowers communty garden projecL chal tables and home technology
support service being develo￿.
A5 we got closer to the end of our finanual year the vaccination programme has helped to ease the pressure on
communities and we are seeing a small retum to nomial lrfe as restrith.ons are lrfted. We know it IS going lo be a
long road ahead as we ty to rwn our dubs and the other servi￿$ that we pmmded pr&lockdown and
continue those that we developed durtng the pandemi
Despite these challenges AUKD VMII be using its resetves to buikl upon the $eMces whtch have been so vital
during the pandemic and VAII continue to be a major part Of our seNtces in the future.
l also want to acknowledge those dients we have sadly lost Due lo ihe age range of people we work wilh. we
are vsed to losing many of our friends, but the pandemic has taken more people from Lts than we expected. We

Befriending l Good NeighbourB. and Telephone Clubs.
With the senri￿ being delivered primarily volunteers the se(w￿ was able to respond quickly to the outbreak
of Covid-19. We were fortunate that at the start of the pandemic we took on an extra hundred volunteers. The
volunteeis were quickly mobilised to delDier fooj shopping lo our clients ensuring they got regular deliverie5.
Following govemrnent guidelines by dropping f￿d at the dLN)r. keeping to sou81 distsncing iules. and wearing
face masks ensured the safety of both the dients and vc4unte8rs, wthilst also allowing the volunteers to keep a
check on the dienls at a safe distance.

Dacorum r8ceived numerous calls every day from people concemed about the pandemic, asking what help there
was in the community to support them during the crtsis.
Carers, Support Schemo
As wlh many of our other seNces the carers, service, has re4haped itseif by offering regular on4ine meetings,
activities, and 5upporL
Linking wth the Personal Aswstsnts Se￿￿e carers have also been able to receive respite care for carers who
have been severely impacted by their caring roles, wth many unable to have a regular break, thus leading to
carerexhaustion.
The pandemic has ￿rtaInty highlighted the impjtsnce of and pressures on csrers arKJ we hope that as we
move out of the lockdowns more support for carers is provided.
Handyperson Scheme
The Handyperson Scheme continued throughout the pandemi ProvKling a limited seThice with emergency
cover or assistance to enable 50cAal workers etc to cary out their duties and people to be discharged from
Hospital wth ftting of key safes being the main priorriies.
Living Well Servlce- Renamed Earfy Interientlon Serwlce
One of the biggest problems for older people living on their own is kneliness. i$013tion and lad( of stimulation
which often leads to depression, lethargy. loss of appetite and the overwhelming feeling of not being able lo
cope. This then escalates into other health pro￿ern5. hospital admission and possibly a premature death. The
Earfy Intervention servi￿ has been cruaal throughout the pandemic by supporting many of the most vulnerable
in our community to receive the uryent help they need when facing 8 short-tenn crisis.

It is of great importance that the charity has contracts vthh statutory authorities. We currently work with
Hertfordshire County and DaeonJm Borough Couniyis and would not have been able to pro￿de and develop a
wide Yange of services to otder Feople and th￿r carers with04rt their continued sup4)orL

As a charity. benefsoaries, donors and statutory contractors have the assuran￿ that ALL Ihg in￿rne of Ihe
Charity is applied for charilable purposes and supwting Peop￿ Imng in the Ix)rough of Dacorum.
Fundraising Practices
Age UK Dacorum has adopted the Institute of Fundratsing and has adopted yls e4Jde of practtce.
We do not employ or use any extemal fundraising lndi￿dLFal5 or txganISat￿rIs
We have had no comp]aints. If we re￿1ve any CoMp￿1nts we would follow the guidance as oudined in the loF
code of practice.
Going concern
After making appropriate enquiries, the Trustees have a reasonable expectstion that the Company has adequalg
resources to continue in operational existence for the foTeseeable future. For this reason. they continue lo adopt
the going concem basis in preparing the financial sta18ments. Further details regarding the adoption of the going
concern basis can be found in the accounting potictes.
. R•seNes poliey
The trustees Consider that the minimum level of reserves should be stx months totsl expenditure, whith is
appToximately £214,000. Hamng laken into ¢C￿sidera￿.0n the budgeted loss for 2021-22 the Iruslees agre8 that
the Current level of £403.0￿ unrestricted reserves remain adequate to ensure the charity can cover the
expected losses, continue to delNer our current sermces. and contribule to the sustainability of our new seNices.
The following key poinis have been Iden￿led..
Continuity of senri￿ to the older people in Dacorum
Funding of the ongoing business and its sustsined kjng-term future.
Funding new projects.
Funding for Specific caprtal expendittJrÈ
Protection ot employee's jobs
Provision for rises in stakntory charges. eg. National Insuran￿.
The Trustees deem it necessary to set aside cover for the loss or reduction of slatulory or other fvnding of
speciffc projects and to provide for any such project that Suffers acrordingly. SoTne projects were supported by
the tr8nsfer of unrestricted fvnds during the year, and rt 15 considered at thi5 time that at least one or more will
require a transfer to Lxjver costs next year.

AudStofs responsibllltle8 for the audlt of the financlal statements
Our objectives are to Obt￿"n reasonable assurance about whether the finanual statements as a whole are free
from material misslatemenL whether due to fraud or eTfDr. and to issue an Audilorfs report that includes our
opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, bul is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in
accordance with ISAS IUKI wll ahvays detect a material misstslement when it exists. Misstatements can arise
from fraud or error and are considered matettal rf. individualty or in the aggregate, they could reasonabty be
expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.
Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-comFJiance with laws and wulations. We design procedures
in line with our responsibilities, outtined above. to detect material misstatements in respect of irregularities,
including fraud. The extent to which our procedures are capable of detec*ng irregularities, including fraud is
detailed below..
the nature of the industy and sector, control environment and bu8inegs wfomiance induding the
remuneration incenlwes and pressures of key management".
the primary responsibility for the prevention and detection of fraud rests with both those charged
wrth govem8nce of the entity ané managemenL We consider the results of our enquiries of
management about their own idents"fication and assessment of the risks of irregularities.,
any matters we identrfied having obtained and Ihe Ccffipanys documentation oftheir
po1￿leS and procedures relating to..
identi￿ng, ￿￿vating and C￿7p[Y7ng Laws and regulatlons and whether theyweie aware

detecting and responding to the risks of fraud arKI whether they have knowledge of any
aciual, suspected ¢y aiieged fraud.,
the inlem81 controls established to mitigate risks of fraud or non•compliance with laws and
regulations.,
tt)e matters discussed among the audit engagement team regarding how and where fraud might
occur in the financial statements and any potential Indicato￿ of fraud.
As a result of these procedures, we considered the opportun[t&￿ and incentives that may exist within the
organisation for fraud and Tdentified the greatest potential for fraud. In common with all audits under ISAS lu￿,
we are also required to perfomi specrtic pro￿ureS to respond to the risk of management override. including
testing joumals and evaluating whether there was ewdence of bias by the directors that represented o risk of
material misstatement due to Iraud.
We also obt￿'ned an understanding of the legal and reguiatory frameworks that the Company opeTat8s in.
focusing on provisions of those laws and regulations Ihat had a direct effect on the determination of material
amounts and disdosures in Ihe financial statements. We focused on laws and regulations that could give rise to
material misstatement in the financial st*ements. including. but not limited to. the Companie5 Act 2006 and
relevant tax legislation.
Because of the inherent limitations of an audi( there ts a risk that we will not detect all irregularities, including
those leading to a material misstatement in the financial staternents or nor>wcompIian￿ with regulation. This risk
increases the more that compliance wrth a law or regulalion is removed from the events and transactions
refiected in the finanual statements. as we wll be less likety to become aware of Instan￿ of non-compliance.
The risk is also greater regarding iTregularilies c￿CJJrri￿g due to fraud rather than effor. as fraud involves
intentional con￿EMen( forgery, collusion. omisson or misrepresentation.
