This includes help with benefits, form filling, home help and carers. We help with contacting relevant agencies such as DWP, Wiltshire Farm Foods and Social Services. Our home support continues for as long as a member requires it. Once people are ready we encourage attendance at one or more of our groups. This year the Covid Pandemic has seriously impacted on our work. As the majority of our members are classed as extremely or clinically vulnerable, we had to suspend our usual groups and classes for most of the year. Where possible when restrictions were lifted in the summer, and following full covid risk assessments, we ran our chair based exercise class, dysphasia class and social groups but with restricted numbers, social distancing, PPE for staff and temperature testing on attendance. i: We also arranged for a 20 page activity booklet to be sent out to all Summary of the main * members to help keep their minds active together with posting activities undertaken for the worksheets on social media. public benefit in relation to these objects (include within — During the periods of lockdown, including the autumn period when this section the statutory Harlow was particularly hit by high numbers of Covid 19, we kept in touch declaration that trustees have With all our members by regular phone calls of which we made over euserby the cneiy _ 2,000.

Referrals to the appropriate agencies were made where necessary. To adhere to Covid guidelines events such as our open day, our collections and promotions were all cancelled. To address previous problems with transport we were able to purchase our own mini bus with money raised in previous years. This has been fully adapted to meet our members needs and will be used to transport people to groups and for outings. All our trustees are aware of the quidance on public benefit and follow this when making decisions that impact on the operations of HSS-RC ## Additional details of objectives and activities (Optional information) TAR 3 March 2012 You may choose to include further statements, where relevant, about: Our committee and Trustees are made up of stroke survivors, carers and people involved in the stroke journey. **----- Start of picture text -----**
