CHAIRMAN'S ANNUAL REPORT This mornlng when consSdering what to put in this year's report, I thought I would look at a few local charities to see how they have survived over these past few drfficult years. I was amazed at the numbers of differentcharitles In Devon, 40(K) of them. l asked myself howthey survived. or even dld they? Unite Carers was there within their numbers, and yes, we did survive, and we are sur4iving, in fact we are in a more secure position now than we have been for a few years. Not to rest on our laurels, we know that the effort to keep afloat 15 ever present, but it's good to take a Small breather. The major element keeping our serv5ces 8oln8 must be our ablllty to fund these services. It's not easy, 8one arethe dayswhen a letterto a generousfundin8source might result in financial help. These days there are complicated forms to fill in correctly, Ino mistskes ac¢epted}, befo we even 8et considered. So, when Andrew Grzeslnskl became a volunteer wlth speclal skllls In fundralslng and all It entslls, we were very fortunate and selzed hls offer of help with both hands. Andrew worked wlth Sharon Improvlng our finances to the polnt where we can stsrt to conslder employlng a much needed third member of staff. In July 2023, we were sad to lose Natalie, our Treasurer, the demands of a full-tlme job and a voun8 family just didn't allow her time to fill the post as she would have liked. Jenny Baker also reslgned from her post a5 a Trustee. Jenny had been a great strength when our Board of Trustees was down to three. In October, Stephanle JoSned us as a Trustee and officlal minutes taker. Our IT updated systems contlnue to run smoothly under Jacvs watchful eye. Trustees have received tralnin8 in 8ood 8overnance; fulfillin8 and understandin8 their role,. GDPR issues and the legal dutie5 of a Trustee. To all the Trustees18lve my personal thanks for thelr commttment understandln8 and ever- present support. To Indicate that our services are safe, of high qualityand that they meet certaln requirements we declded to update and renew the Quallty Assurance Mark, Trary was engaged In the organisation of this. In Au8USt we were saddened to learn that Roy Grantham, our retired Chaimian had died. Roy haired Unite for 8 years Steerin8 US through many changes and throuBh the covid period. Sharon, Tracy, Lara, Neil and l attended his funerdl. Even then Roy did not forget Unite, all donations at his funeral were dedicated to Unite.

Chalrman's Annual Report (Continued) As you will see from the statistics report our numbers in all fields are generally rising. Sharon and Trdcy wlll glve you more information aboutthis. We h3ve benefited fromthe generosityof local businesse5, not alway5 Wlth dirertfinance but. in the case of a local housin8 developer Barratt David Wilson Homes. our offices received a makeover when a team from the buildlng firm armed with palntbru5he5 arrived to transform Unlte's workln8 envlronment. I have attended several networklng promotional events and cheque presentation meetlngs throughout the year with Sharon. On 23rf September volunteers from varlous charities across Devon received a Royal commendation from HRH Sophie Duchess of Edinburgh at a special breakfast event held at Cold Harbour Mill hosted by David Fursdon, Lord Lieutenant of Devon. The event focused on brlngln8 tO8ether some of the 4000 Devon Charitie5 to dlscuss thelr challen8es and ways of help5n8. Sharon and l attended thls event 8lvln8 us both the opportuntty to talk with the Duchess of Edlnbur8h who showed remarkable Insl8ht Into the problems faclng ch3ritie5. In December, the Lost Kitchen. a local restaurant in Chettiscombe, gave our volunteers a splendld evenin8 of food, wine and 8eneral enjoyment. Earlier In the year the Lost Kitchen had invlted our Volunteers to a Cream Tea - another generous gesture. To Our Team of commltted volunteers. We the Trustees are filled with admiration at the dedication shown by you as you help ease the load our carers bear, at your wlllin8ness to 8ive your tlme and energy and at your unfailing support given to those that Unite Carers was set up to assist. You do not seek gratitude. but heartfelt messages from grateful users of our services thanklng you for helping them through the bad times are not uncommon. We accept them with pride and share them wlth you. You are the heart of Unrte, wlthout you we would not BE. Our staff Sharon and Tracy have kept Unite going when times were hard, and resources stretched not just wff(h the general administration; the finance; organising volunteers and cleanin8 the offices.... but with personal sacrifice as well, working through the cold weather with no heating, wearing scarves gloves and plug in electric blankets around their knees. That's dedlcatlon. Thank you, Sharon and Trary Unite Carers salute you. Bernice Philbrick Chalr of Trustees

GENERAL MANAGER OVERVIEW After a difficult couple of years comin8 Out of covid, the recruitment of new Trustees has stren8thened the experience and guidance from the Board enabling us to look forward and plan for the future. With the support of Trdcy working 21 hours per week, I have been able to concentrdte on worklng with our Advisor Andy Grzesinski on applications for larEer amounts of funding in order to give the charity Stabilty 80in8 into our 21st year. You will see from our donationsand grants listingsthatwe are supported by local people with small amounts as well as receivln8 large amounts from funders such as The National Lottery. As Tesco says- every little helps- and we are very grateful for the ongoing local support. l am delighted that our finances are in a much better position, which means we can now start looking for a third member of staff. My role as General Manager meansthat l overseethe dayto day running of the charityaswell as preparingthe accounts, budgeting and funding applications. It is a privilege to be working with such wonderful volunteers. Reading through Tracy's report fi115 me with pride on how much we are supporting unpaid CaT5 in Mid Devon-we couldn't provide the services we offer without the dedication of our volunteers and the time that they freely give to the charity- Our webstte and Facebook pages are full of information for carer5, but most importantly we are ableto SUPPOrt carer5 who do not have accessto the digital world and want to see us face to face. As well as the monthly support groups and face to face befriending. carers are able to drop into our office for direct support. We are generally open at least 10 am to 4 pm Monday to Friday, but it is always best to call ahead in case Tracy and l are in meetings, covering groups. or indeed on leave! We use our No 4 officefor many of our support groups which means we are able to get to know our carers more personally and support volunteers when needed. There have been many hi8hlights from the last 12 months - not least my contact with our Patron Angela Rippon - especially during her time on Strictly Come Dancin81 Breakfast wtth Sophie. Duchess of Edinburgh at Coldharbour Mill vS of course a privilege. However, the best part of the job is helping support our carers and going the extrd mile. The thank you messages we receive often bring Tracy and I to tears, and we are proud to work with our volunteers who are part of the Unftefrdmily. September 2024 marks my 10 anniversary working for the charity. From covering the Offlce Administrator on matemity leave to becoming General Manager- working wtth youn8 carers and Devon Carers staff. The last decade has been eventful but fun and I have enjoyed lalmostl) every minLrte of itl I hope I will still be here supporting volunteers and carers for many years to come. Best wishes sharon Trerise General Man38er

There were 518 attendances for the perlod Aprll 24 to August 24. down 22% of 668 attendances compared to the same period in 2023, Indlcatlng a downtum In attendances forthe perlod so far. The data Includes carers, cared-for and volunteers. Carers, Serylces- One-to-one Su Befrlending and Telephone Friendshlp Unlte's free Befrlendln8 Servlce matches carers wlth a Ilke-mlnded volunteer befriender who they can meetfor a cup of tea and a chat in a local café perhaps, plan an attlvlty or outln8 tO8ether, or vlslt carers In thelr homes if they are unable to 8et away. Prlor to the befrlendlng match, there Is a conversatlon wlth the carer, more formally known as Yhe Carerfs Assessment", to find out what the carer's needs and wants are from the befrlendlng relationshlp, the type of person they would Ilke as thelr befrlender, how often they would like to meet and where, Interests and hobbles etc. If meetings are experted to take place In the carerfs home, a home visit Is carried out prior to the first 8et-tO8ether. A review Is then carried out after 3 months to make sure that both parties are happy, although contart 15 encouraged at any point should a problem arlse. Our carers and befrienders know that any problems will be handled tactfully, discreetly and with care. We also offer Telephone Frlendship. based on the model above, so that carers can enjoy chattin8 With someone over the phone, from the comfort of their own home, Unite Carerfs Befriending Service Is unique, not Just because rfs one of the only befriending services Still available in Mid Devon, but because iys not time limited- when carers are set up with their befriender and are happy In the 3-month revlew perlod, they can contlnue to see their befriender for as lon8 35 they would like. We don't take the support away. New for this year, to brin8 us in line with our Groups, we have secured fundin8 from Devon Communlty Foundatlon to allow befrienders to treat carers to refreshments of thelr choice when they meet up- coffee and cake perhaps. Thank you to DCF for thls fundin81 it's really making a difference to both carers and volunteers.

SAFE STOPSIThING SERVICE During2023we had two Safe Stop groups running. One in Tiverton atthe Cherith Church Venue which is still very much alive. The other was in Witheridge in the viitsge hall. Although we had good attendance in Witheridge, the venue didn't work out so we therefore decided to stop running thls group. The group held in Cherith Church, (which is 8 very good venue in allways), is held on the 2land 41hWednesd8ys ofthe month from 10 am until 12.30pm. From Septemberwe are running it from 10.30 am until 1 pm to allow carers 8 little extra time in the mornings to getup and out. The group Is for the c8rers loved one to attend. We often call It a 'coffee morning. or 'sociai group, and not a sitting service which I think promotes the cared-for persons dlgnity a little better. The group's intention is forthe 'cared-for person, to be well catered for with refreshments, conversation, fun. stimulation and a choice of what they would like to do. All of this whilst their carer get8 8 Ilttle resplte for the mornlng to shop, go for coffe8 or to the dentist, hairdressers orjustsit with a newspaper quietly. Carers are very welcome to st8y8nd have a fun tlmewith us all iftheywlsh. We have a wide variety of activities going on, mostly aimed at having fun through Stimulation both of mlnd and body. We have entertainers vlslt with muslc, song and quizzes 8bout an amazing array ot old household objects. We play game8 - C8rds, dominos, carpet boules. golf. curllng. bowling, quoits, chair football for ex8mple. At times we do a little craft, test our knowledge with a quiz or working out riddles and we giggle overfunnyjokes and stories. There is a lot of banter and fun. The volunteer team are amazing and an important part of the whole session brlnging much c8re and love to all and 8dding greatlytothe laughterandjoy. At the moment, we heve 4 regular 8ttendees. and it would be great to double that number. There is a sm811 charge of £10 8 session to help cover costs and need for experienced staff on hand in safegu8rding and fiist ald. Everyone has great fun, have become friends and look forward to tho sessions. Please call the office for further information. JennyTowei Group facilitator
