CHAIR OF TRUSTEES REPORT _ 1st April 24 to 31" March 25
We have had a busy year as demand forour service increases month on month and our
'across-the-board" support System is estimated to reach out to approximately 1,000 people in
Mid Devon, receiving benefit in some way from Unite Carers.
The list of services offered is extensive and you can find full details in thls AGM report from:
Sharon, our General Manager
Tracy, our Carers, Services Manager & Deputy Safeguarding Officer
Fiona. Trustee and Volunteer for support groups with special interest in dementia
Janlne, our marketing and community Trustee
Communication between staff and Trustees is well managed through Tracy's monthly statistics
table of numbers using our support services, and through staff's written reports to Trustees
before each board meeting. Staff also attend board meeting5 by arrangement.
In January 2024, our Volunteer Advisor Andrew Grzezinski gave a presentation to the Board
with an overview of our charity, suggesting a need to focus on the main priorities ofthe
organisation and to identify what we want to ultimately achieve for the future of the
organisation.
In May 2024 Simone was invited to join the Board of Trustees. Simone's experience in
fundraising qualified her to become the Trustee supportingthe fundraising team.
Demand for assistance in filling out forms is increasing and our form filing team. mainly
volunteer Margaret Phillips and Trustee/volunteer Tina Webber were recognised for their
amazing work in this area.
The counsellin8 service saw two new counsellors joining us, this continues to be a well-used
service.
During Volunteer week In June 24Trustee Stephanie recorded a video message on Facebook
thanking our volunteers for their Invaluable work.
That- and our open day- attracted quite a crowd of visitors stimulating interest in what we do.
One of our volunteers, Liam, approached the Board with enthusiastic ideas for promoting our
charity in the community and across Mid Devon. His ideas were well received and gave quite a
boost to our marketing and community activities. Liam did not want to be the organiser, but his
ideas were the start of a new focus group and responsible for the pop-up banners we decided
to buy. The findings from that meeting are the basis of our present Marketing and Community
Group. We are very grateful to Liam for all the time and thought he gave to promote this
project.
Throughout the year we have remalned alert for any occasion where we can raise our profile.

Chalr of Trustees Report (Continued)
In July Paul resigned from the Board, we were sorry to lose him and hls expertise in good
governance. His service to Unite will be missed.
Unite Carers have received 2 Quality Assurance Marks this year- one for Unite Carers from
Devon Voluntary Action and a second from Devon Memory Café Consortium specifically for our
Forget Me Not Cafe. Special thanks to Tracy for Eathering the information required to achieve
this recognition for our services.
August brought Fiona Bladon and Janine Steadman to us as new and very welcome Trustees.
Both these ladies come with a wealth of knowledge and experience.
In September Andrew presented his paper'unite Carers Current Overview,; it was gratifying to
note that many issues identified in his January paper had been successfully dealt with or
adopted as current practice. One example being to reschedule our Board meetings from
monthly to quarterly resulting in better use of Trustee time.
Lady Louise Amory had been Patron to Age UK in TJverton which closed following the
pandemic, we approached herto see if she would consider a patron role for Unite Carers and
were delighted when She accepted and joins our long-standing Patron Angela Rippon.
At the last AGM I was able to tell the meeting that we were now in a position to advertise for a
third member of stsff. This intension is still very much on the agenda. The board decided to
wait for the approval of the 3-year plan which may provide us with directions on the way
forward and a decislon on the skills we wlll be asking for of a new employee.
Sadly, desplte constant endeavor we have been unable to secure a Treasurer. Sharon has done
a sterling job taking on this role. Although we are aware that many charities operate without a
Treasurer thi5 is not a situation we are happy with. The search 8oes on.
A review of office safety resulted in the installation of Ring Doorbells at number 2 and number
Unite Carers has gone from strength to strength this year, we are in a strong position, strong
enough to consider improvements to our servlces to carers across Mid Devon.
For myself. as I step down from the role of Chair of Trustees, I look back with gratitude to those
who have made my time in the chair fultilling and enjoyable. I thank you all and intend to
remain on the Board as a Trustee.
Those involved in our charity are remarkable - Volunteers, Carers. Staff and Trustees. all playing
their own huge part in the delivery of our services. The unselfish giving of their time, their
commitment and dedication make Unite a charity to be proud of and l am sure our founder
Carol Benn would endorse this wholeheartedly.

GENERAL MANAGER OVERVIEW
th
In our 22. year I can't quite believe that I'm heading into my 12 year working
for Unite Carers.
It's been a very busy year for all of our seniices. Tracy and l are delighted with
the increased numbers of new volunteers supporting increasing numbers of
carers and their loved-ones.
Tracy's report gives detailed information on what Unite has offered for the last
tax year and to date. We could not do what we do without our wonderful band
of volunteers and we thank each and every one of you for your contribution to
our success- no matter how small!
I believe that Unite Carers are unique in the amount of face-to-face support we
provide forour carers and their loved ones. We may be small, but we are mighty!
The people we support have a person-centred approach from staff and
volunteers alike, which is tailored to their ind ividua I needs. In th is report I have
included quotations from carers, professionals and volunteers giving testament
to how we are "Making A Difference" to unpaid carers in Mid Devon. Such
positive feedback makes me proud of what Unite Carers have achieved yet again
this year!
Although l oversee the day to day running of the charity, some of my time is
spent applying for funding to support the work we do. Our volunteer Andy has
done a great job supporting and encouraging me when we have the odd
unsuccessful response. You will see from the attached list of donations and
grants that we have had a successful year. However, in order to employ a much-
needed third member of staff we need to continue with our success. Regular
donations from individuals are invaluable - especially with the addition of gift
aid - so please consider Unite Carers if you like to support a local charity.
Another part of my job is keeping accurate financial records, holding tight to the
purse strings and liaising with our Accountants Apsleys when producing the
Annual Accounts. If anyone has any specific questions about our expenditure
please get in touch.
Our membership numbers have now increased to 38. If you would like to vote at
ourAGM and notalready a Member, then please ask to complete a membership
application to have your say about the running of the charity. There is no cost.

GENERAL MANAGER OVERVIEW (Continued)
Our website and Facebook pages are full of information for carers, but most
importantly we are able to support carers who do not have access to 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 useour No4 office for manyof oursupportgroups which
means we are able to get to know our carers more personally and sUPPOrt
volunteers when needed.
Having marked my decade with Unite in September 2024, 1 have looked back at
all of our records and see that several volunteers have reached their 10 year
milestone over the last couple of years. Thank you to John Anderson. Neil
Babbage, Alison Knott, Liz Verdonkshot, Jean Milne, Jackie Quaife and our
Trustees Tina Webber and Bernice Philbrick for your support for over a decade,
with a special mention to Jenny Tower who has been a volunteer, Trustee and
member of staff !
We have had feedback from volunteers and carers that they are not very fond of
our "spider web logo. As we have almost completely run out of leaflets we
would like to take this opportunity to "re-brand" and would welcome ideas for a
new logo and/or theme.
My main highlight from the last 12 months is seeing the bonds that have formed
between the carers, their loved ones and our volunteers. Social gatherings and
the peer support I have witnessed through good times and bad have been
heartening and l am sure long-term friendships have been made. However, my
claim to fame is that l am still in regular contact with our famous Patron Angela
Rippon and I hope you enjoy the annual message that will be played at the AGM.
We are also grateful to Lady Amory, our other Patron, for her continued support.
To our Board of Trustees, volunteers, advisors, carer5 and friends of Unite-thank
you for making our work so rewarding. I feel we are one big family and the peer
support we give to each other cannot be beaten! A Special mention to my
dedicated colleague Tracy who goes above and beyond in everything she does.
Please keep an eye on our website: www.unitecarers.or
.uk and our quarterly
newsletters to see what's to come in the next 12 monthsl
With very best wishes

General Manager's AGM Report- MakingA Difference
We very much appreciate teedback from carers and professionals about
our services- and what Unite means to our volunteers- these are a few
examples!
Feedback From Carers:
"We would like to letyou all know howmuch Unite Carers has added to the
qualityof our lives.
Chris has recentlyspent time in hospital, and it was made so much easier
because of the information we got from Unite. I wouldn't have known about
free parking with the Carers b8dge to start with. Also, I now know it is my
right to staywith Chris which makes us both feel happier. I learnt about the
Dementia nurse and therefore contacted her before ourappointment.
Our Differentjourneygroup has resulted in us doing things we would never
have gotround to. For example, the picnic, and the walk around the walled
garden. Also, the wonderful Christm8s party. Chris is always keen to go,
even when he has notbeen feeling well.
The atmosphere is always positive and supportive. We alw8ys have a laugh
and its been great to get to know everyone.
I don't feel on my own anymore. I know there is help just a phone call oran
email away.
The l.T. help has made such a difference. We can now use our smart T.V
without problems. We can find our devices when theygo missing. Chris got
so much joy from listening to his MP3 player in hospital.
We are now overa yearon from the diagnosis and we would honestlysay
ourlife is good and happy. Also, we have never had such an active social
Thankyou all for everythingyou do, itme8ns so much to us.
8est wishes Gina and Chris .

Feedback From Carers (Contlnued):
"Margaret Came yesterday, as arranged. to begin completion of the 32 page
application form forAttendance Allowance. She will return next Thursday
to complete this saga. Her support and sympathy were beyond praise and I
cannot express mygratitude sufficiently.
I thought I was managing H8zel s illness adequately, but l am amazed 8t the
sense of relief I feel at having discovered Unite Carers. fhankyou all from
the bottom ofmy heart."
"When we got home on Tuesd8y 8fter Forget Me Not I was told what a
lovely 8fternoon it had been. By the time we went to bed I had been
thanked fora very enjoyable day three times.
'Th8nk you Tracy so much, it was good to talk to you and I feel that a weight
has been lifted off my shoulders already."
"Thank you for listening to me'rant on and on" this morning. As I've
said before- you do a wonderfuljob there for so many of us.,
'1 thought that I should probably check In wlth you to say that I went to
the Oasis meating at Padbrook Park this afternoon.
I found it very uplifting and really enjoyed myself. I can't r8member
when I laughed so much. In fact I came hom8 on a'high,. It did me the
world of good and I fully intend to go to the group as often as I can."
"Thank you so much forthis, I really appreciate all the support and help you
have given me."
"Unite Carers has made such a difference to us. Without It we would
have had no positive contact since the diagnosis. So thank you from
both of us for all you do."
"Thank you! Simone has been an absolute godsend to me-things are such
that I've really needed to "off load" to her.....overwhelmed as l am. I'm
really grateful to you there- for arranging for me to have such a lovely
caring listening ladyto talkto.....Thank you!J>

Feedback From Professionals:
"Keep being awesome in all you do. It has been fab to work with you over
the years whilst I was at Involve and at Tiverton Wellbeing.-
Your drop-in was wonderfuL- you were so welcoming and friendly
greeting everyone who came in like an old friend- it was a lovely
atmosphere."
-Thankyou so much Tracy-you arejust epic!!! l am sure this will make a
diff erence to C. I will catch up with her in a few weeks and se8 if I can link
h8r to anything else. Thank you so much for being so awesome. l am so
pleased for C."
.1 just wanted to feed back as I met with L earlier today and it was like
meeting with a ditterent person since I first started working wlth her a
month ago. Now she knows that there is support available and people
to reach out to should she raquire advice, or just needs a safe, non-
Judgemental space to be able to share experiences with someone who
understands, it has totally transformed things for her and she no longer
even requires our Wellbelng involvement.
Her feellngs of overwhelm have been replaced with calm and she
described it as a huge weight having been lifted off her shoulders.
Thank you tor making such a diff8rence!9g
Feedback From Volunteers:
"Such a wonderful opportunity to become a volunteer with Unite Carers.
Such varied roles available. Everyone is so friendly, staff and volunteers. I
really enjoy workingin the office a couple of days a weekand helpingout at
Various meetings...The Forget Me Not afternoon and the DJ meeting. such
worthwhile get togethers for carers. their cared forpeople and staff.
Various social events are also available for everyone to join
in.. .volunteering with Unite is very enjoyable and enlightening for everyone
concerned.-

"Dear Bernice & The 808rd of Trustees
Thank you so much foryour lovely letter. it was such a wonderful surprise.
I really enjoy helping Carers at Unite Carers in Mid Devon and always feel
appreciated for the volunteering I do. Sharon and Tracy are great-
supporting and enabling me in my work and always ready to support me
with a listening ear and a smiling face.
I feel it's important to use any skills I gained as an Occupational Therapist
to better carers lives. It s a known fact that all of us n8ed a little help from
tim8 to time.
You are right in saying that these complicated forms are a real challenge for
carers and their families. and they often give up before starting, missing out
on benefits they are entitled.
I have been a carerand advocate all my life, h8ving8 Slster, Joyce, born with
Downs Syndrome, there were only fifteen months between us, but I was
able to speak for herand my mother and others as no-one else could
understand what she was saying.
I've had a career and a family life caring for others, with many 8ppreciative
comments, but to receive your letter was a real uplift and an awakening for
me in recognition of my work. so thankyou again.
As a volunteer I wanted to say a big thankyou to Sharon, Tracy•
volunteers and carers who have been so helpful and supportive over
the last 18 months whilst I have been struggling with severe mobillty
and health issues. Getting the attendance allowance and most
importantly Sharon's help in getting the blue badge has relieved a lot of
stress enabling me to go back to some of the places I love to visit.
There have been times when I struggled to cope. wlthoutyour support I
am not sure how I would have done.
Thank you to everyone who has tsken the time to send us such positive
feedback

AGM ReFK4rt for Adult Carer Servlces from Tracy Downs, Carer Servlces Manager
I" April 2024- 11" March 2025
It seems incredible to me that, as of July this year, I have been working wlth Unite Carers as Carer

time, with still much more to come. Exciting times ahead for Unite.
My role at Unite Carers remains Incredibly varied- I manage the dellvery of our 1-2-1 support
services for unpaid carers, coordinate counsellor provision. recruitrnent and provlde support,
manage and mentor our dedicated team of 1-2-1 volunteers, lead on carer re8lStrations and carer
wellbelng and am the Deputy Desi8nated Safeguardin8 Officer. l also manage our soclal media
presence and write the newsletter. among other responsibilities that all contribute to the heart of
our organlsation - Unite Carers.
The heart of Unite- We know that Unite Carers simply couldn't deliver the support we do without
the unwavering dedicatlon of our incredible team of volunteers. Whether leading or assisting at the
groups. providing vital support through our 1-2-1 services and offering time in countless other
ways, the contribution of our volunteers is at the heart of everything we achieve. We truly couldn't
do it without you. Thank you for being on board.

Befriending and Telephone Friendship
Unite Carers. Befriending Service is a free, friendly way for unpaid carers to connect with a like-
minded volunteer. Whether it's meeting for a cuppa and a chat, planning a small outin& or having a

visit at home If getting out is difficult- the service is all about companionship support rather than
therapeutic care.
Before matchin& I'll have a relaxed conversation (called a Carer's Assessmentl to understand what
the carer is looking for, how often thevd like to meet, and what kind of person the¢d enjoy
spending time with. If meetings are planned at home, I'll do a home visit first to ensure the safety
of our volunteers. After three months. I'll check in to make sure everythinl5 going well though
carers can reach out anytime if they need 5UPPOrt. Any concerns are handled with care and
discretion.
We also offer Telephone Friendship. followln8the same model, for carers who prefer chattinB over
the phone from home.
What makes our service special is that it's not tlme-llmited. If the match feels right after the 3-
month review, carers can continue seein8 their befriender for as long as they wish. We don't take
the sUPPOrt away.
Any expenses Incurred for coffee and cake are covered by Unite, thanks to continued funding from
Devon Community Foundation.

To our Befriending Team - whether you're offering sUPPOrt in person, over the phone, or lending a
hand with our Groups. your impact is so valuable. The care and professionalism you brlng to every
interaction is inspiring, not just to me, but to everyone who witnesses the difference you make. You
offer comfort, connection, and friendship to carers at the moments they need it most. Thank you.
Counselling For Carers
We re-started our free Counselling For Carers sernice in February 2023 and It contlnues to gather
momentum. Simone left us October 2024 and Catherine in April 2025. after completing their 100
hours of counselling practice, and new counsellors in training Karen and Faye started with us in
April 2025. Due to our increasing waiting list for counselling for carers, two further counsellors in
training have been bought on board, and Jo is due to start with Unlte September 2025 while
Sabrina will join us February 2026.
All of our counsellors in training are working towards the Lv.4 Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling

complicated paperwork. We have helped carers with anything from Attendance Allowance to Blue

carers when their home envlronment isn't suitable for the task at hand.

I'd like to close by saying well done to everyone at Unite Carers. Dedication, compassion and
teamwork have made this another successful and impactfijl year. Here's to everythin8we've
achieved so far and to the dlfference we continue to make for carers together.

Unite Carers, Peer Support Groups
Report 2025 for AGM
I would like to mention figures:
1) The cost of running the NHS for a year in the UK was approximately £189 bllllon.
2) Unpaid carers in the UK provide care worth an unbelievable £184.3 billion a ye8r
(fourtimes the amount of publlcly funded spending on adult social Care services).
Source." Centre for Care and Carers UK (research 202112022)
Charities such as Unite Carers provide a crucial Servi￿ to unpaid carers. Not only in
supporting carers to continue in the caring role, but in benefitting the person for
whom they are caring, and preventing or delaying the need for other services. such
as the NHS, Social SeNices and the Emergency SeNices.
Unite does Ihis through befriending, signposting to sources of support and
resources, providing supporl in navigating the systems and care pathways and
through training and information and guidance relating to specific diagnoses
(dementia, autism, ADHD)
Unite also runs thirteen Peer Support Groups and numbers of attendees at these
groups remain steady. Constantly, we look at ways of increaslng numbers. and at
establishing that we are providing what carers want and need
Peer Support Group for male carers: A feasibility study to consider setting up a
special group for male carers was carried out, but at this time, the￿ was insuffici8nt
interest. However, we will keep it in mind for the future
Parent Carors Group: We have a lovely new facilitator, Wendy Price, for this group
and numbers beginning to creep up (perhaps the picnic at the park helped).
Carers of adults and teens with additional needs: Again, we have new facilitators
Philip and Linda Cornish for this group.
Tracy facilitates the Croditon Group who meet at the Crediton Coffee Company
Café, sharlng lively conversation and laughter, as well as offering peer support to
those who need to share and talk about worries and frustrations.
Exe Valley and Culm Valley Oasis (for carers of someone wrth a diagnosis of
dementia): Feedback highlights the importance of the Oasis peer support groups to
enable carers to share and to laugh together

Unite Carers, Peer Support Groups Report 2025 for AGM (Continued)
Lunch groups for current and fomier carers are definitely very popular and
Carers Coffee Groups at Bampton. Tiverton and Cullompton continue to support
carers.
The Safe Stop Group provided much-needed support and company to carers and
cared-for people alike. at a time when isolation could be ove￿helMIng. We are sad
the group is no longer running. and thank Jenny and her band of volunteers for the
joy they brought.
Research: To gain carers, input, Dr Catherine Alexanderfrom the Unlversity of
Exeter met with our Different Journey Peer Support Group (DJ Group) where she
discussed her research into"Awareness matters in dementia" Her survey is now live
online for carers to complete.
Members of the DJ group were invited to join Exeter University's Patient and Public
Involvement Groups in various other dementia research projects as "experts by
experien￿,
The group meet once a month at No 4 in a more structured session and socially
once a month for coffee and cake, picnics arKI outings.
Judging from the feedback, the DJ group has been successful in supporting carers
and has reached capacity in numbers. Therefore, we are planning a second group.
The Bridge Café (which began life as the Anticipatory Grief Peer Support Group) is
a specially-formed group supporting carers in considering future planning including
contingency plans, coping strategies. anticipatory grief and financial and legal
issues.
In Unite's peer support groups we see the anxlety and frown lines on carers. fa￿S
tum to smiles and laughter when they meet other carers who fight the same battles,
who empathize, suggest solutions. slrategies and resources, share tears and
laughter, leading to the realization that you are not alone, that others 'get It" They
really do. and they care.

Marketing plays a vital role in the sustainability and growth of sm811 charities, enabllng
them to raise awareness, build trust, and engage supporters effectively. With limited
financial resources, markeling helps Unite Carers to articulate its mission, showcase
imp8Ct. and differentiate itself in a crowded sector. It grows stronger relalionships with
volunteers, beneficiaries and donors by conveying authenticlty and purpose Ihrough
clear. consistenl messaging,
Well-executed marketing can attract new partnerships and ensure that our charity's
work reaches those who need it most. In essence, marketing is wt a luxury. It is a
stralegic ne￿SSity.
Fundraising events play a dual role in this strategic development. They serve as
essential income-generating adivities and they also functK)n as key marketing
opportunlties.
Looking back over the year since our last AGM, here are some of the ways in which
Unite Carers in Mid Devon has engaged in marketing our services:
Our website.. wwW.uniteca￿rS.org.uk
Our inspirational quarterly newsletters, in which we share meaningful stories and
celebrate community contributions.
Social media.. www.facebook.comlunitecarers
We have infomiation stsnds at Clare House and Castle Place GP surgeries.
Community and outreach events and visits:
October 2024- Exe Valley Community Bar Charity Bingo event.
November 2024 - Tiverton & District Soroptimists Beetle Drive
December 2024- Christmas Carol Concert by Take Note Community Choir at St Paul's
Church and Christmas drop-in at Cherith Hall, Tiverton.
April 2025 - Visit to DJ Group by Dr Cathy Alexander from the University of Exeter.

enhance visibility, strengthen engagement, and support its strategic objectives. We

UNITE CARERS SAFE STOP SOCIAL GROUP- 2024125 REPORT
MyseLf and a verywilling and able group of 4- 5 volunteers continued to run the Safe
Stop Group until Easter of this year120251. We had great fun everytime we met (Joinga
widevariety ofthings including. pottery painting. craft. playing board and cards games,
singing. dancing. playing boules, 'badminton' with fly swat and balloons, quoits and
football. various types of bingo. word games, quizzes. puzzles and tellingiokes and
stories. You say it. we did itl I It Was always a barrel of laughs. We giggled lots with
wobbling racing Santas. reindeers and elves. We all laughed until we cried!1 I
Occasionallywe had entertainers in. some of the furrytype dressed in Christmas outfits
and loved beingfussedl Santa and his elves came. Whateverthe season we celebrated
itwith laughter, fun. stimulation, movement and thoughtfulness.
We always had cakes and snacks to give time forjust chatlingwith each other. The
room was filled with friendship, kindness and fun stimulation. Sadly, with the age group
ofthe Cared for people whojoined us forthe amazingsessions they get poorly, and our
numbers began to drop to a point that it was not financiallyvi8ble to keep going. We
tried recruiting more Cared for people to no avail. Such a same as. as a group it did
enable unpaid carers a morning a fortnight to have forthemselves. They did appreciate
this and in fact sometimes stayed to join in our activites.
Cherith Church was such a great plac8 to hold these sessions- modern, warm.
carpeted, clean, bright and cheerfulwith plenty of parking. Grenville the ministerwas
alwaysvery obliging and helpful. Thankyou Cherith Church.
Thevolunteers, I think. enjoyed the sessions as much as those attending and were sad
when it ended. As volunteers we continue to keep in touch and meet forcoffee and
C8tch up every4- 6 weeks. Thankyou volunteers for just joining in, beingso supportive
and making everyone so welcome and able to let their hair down.
Thankyou. Unite Carers staff and trustees, forthe funding and supportto enable this
group to run for manyyears afterAge UK Tiverton sadly closed duringthe pandemic.
