REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES
Part 2: Report of the Trustees for Year Ended 31st March 2020
The trustees who are also directors of the charity for the purposes of the Companies Act 2006, present their report with the financial statements of the charity for year ended 31 March 2020. The trustees have adopted the provisions of Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019)
Our Charitable Objects and Activities
Age UK Bath & North East Somerset is an independent local charity established to promote the following purposes for the benefit of the public and/or older people in and around the District of Bath and North East Somerset:
-
preventing or relieving the poverty of older people;
-
advancing education for older people;
-
preventing or relieving sickness, disease or suffering in older people (whether emotional, mental or physical);
-
promoting equality and diversity in relation to older people; ~ assisting older people in need by reason of ill health, disability, financial hardship, social exclusion or other disadvantage; and such other charitable purposes for the benefit of older people as the Trustees may from time to time decide, the outcome of this being the promotion of well-being of older people.
The charity was established over 75 years ago and although part of the Age UK network, we are an independent charity. All the money we raise is used to support the older residents of Bath & North East Somerset.
We work with people later in life to understand the issues that effect them; enabling people to live independently for as long as people want or are able to. Our activities include Day Clubs, Information and Advice, Home from Hospital service, Dementia Service, Befriending, Active and Enrichment programme and Footcare. Each year we support over 12,000 older people, their family members and carers, promoting wellbeing, helping them to stay active, regain & retain their independence and improve their quality of life.
Public Benefit
Our main activities clearly illustrate the delivery of public benefit. The Trustees confirm that they have referred to the Charity Commission's general guidance on public benefit when reviewing the Charity's Aims and Objectives.
Our Vision
The vision of Age UK Bath & North East Somerset is that all older people live a healthy, happy and satisfying life.

Age UK Bath & North East Somerset could not achieve what it does without the unwavering support and commitment from our army of volunteers.
REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES
Our Volunteers
Whilst this has been a time of worry and upheaval we have seen overwhelming support and kindness from the community.
We are so proud of how many dedicated volunteers offered to take on the immediate urgency for shopping, well-being calls and medicine collection that set our phones ringing nonstop.
These same volunteers took on garden chats, delivery of wellbeing packs and being the regular friend on the end of the phone.
Ultimately, our volunteers enable us to reach more people. Our strategy is to continue to engage, thank and grow our volunteer base, maximising every opportunity to develop community connections.
Support to those living with Dementia
At the beginning of the year our Dementia Group in Keynsham was thriving, with a close-knit group, who have a special bond, meeting weekly.
Staff are trained in Maintenance Cognitive Stimulation Therapy (MCST) and lead a themed group with activities that include singing, movement, games, puzzles, music and discussion of current affairs, as well as simply enjoying each other’s company. The day also includes a twocourse hot lunch and transport to and from the venue.
We are currently recruiting new team members to run two similar, but even more specialised, Dementia Groups in Bath and Midsomer Norton to begin in the summer of 2021.
We are proud that despite the lockdown our teams swiftly adapted to online groups with the help of our Click Café volunteers - the Gadget Busters. It wasn’t for every member, but to those who could partake online we were able to maintain the regular contact which is so important for people living with dementia.
"When he comes home afterwards, he is a different person, so much more upbeat and relaxed." Margaret

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES
Day Clubs & Lunch Group
It is hard to articulate, until you speak to someone who attends our clubs, the importance that these groups have to the community. The fun and friendship and family feel are often the highlight of someone's week and because we provide transport, it can sometimes be the only time people leave the house.
In April 2020, the Day Clubs were running at capacity with on average 150 people attending a week across Midsomer Norton, Bath and Keynsham. There was also the regularly attended Lunch Club in Peasedown St John.
So, it was a crushing blow when each club had to be immediately shut down, but staff were redeployed to telephone befriending, wellbeing visits and later, garden chats.
It was paramount to ensure that people who were so used to visiting the clubs were able to have some form of social contact, so special effort was made to keep spirits up, not only with regular calls, visits and check ins but with wellbeing packs, activity packs, plus Valentines & Easter themed gifts. This level of care made a huge difference to people's experience of the pandemic.
The 50 people reliant on the regular lunches were given weekly free meals by Wessex Water who offered a team of staff to coordinate and deliver the meals to Age UK Bath and North East Somerset members.
“It was the day club that gave me back my confidence to leave the house again. It is the day club that gives me something to look forward to each week. When I step on to that bus, it feels wonderful, I feel part of something.” Geraldine
To reopen safely, each club needed risk assessments, extra staff and training to ensure each club could welcome back up to 10 people in a safe, fun environment. Currently we are delighted to be running eight clubs each week: four in Bath, and two in Keynsham and Midsomer Norton.
As soon as restrictions allow, we are planning to increase capacity further, with the utmost care. Our lunch club returns in the summer of 2021.

Raising Spirits: Singing Bus & Care Home visits
We know that loneliness and isolation can often impact the quality of later life but we noticed a deeper decline in people's wellbeing brought on by the isolation of the pandemic.
We felt that we had a duty to lift the spirits of our community in a meaningful way.
With funding from Quartet Community Foundation’s Surviving Winter programme we secured money for a Singing Bus. After mapping out areas in Bath and North East Somerset which have a larger proportion of older people, we decorated one of our minibuses and, with a professional singer, set out to visit streets, houses, and green spaces across Bath & North East Somerset to spread a bit of musical joy.
Starting with VE Day we toured our bus 2 – 3 times a week from May – September, singing and chatting to as many of our clients as possible as well as the wider community.
We then felt the need to focus our Singing Bus on the staff and residents at local Care Homes and visited as many as we could, to sing in car parks, gardens, visiting rooms and streets. We also visited the Peggy Dodd Day Centre for people living with dementia on many occasions, with residents and staff dancing and enjoying familiar music.
The reaction to these visits was humbling and provided much needed joy and free entertainment to the public, residents and staff at an excruciatingly grim time.
Our Singing Bus was featured across BBC TV & Radio and local media.

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES
We knew that Christmas 2020 was going to be unlike any other, with many people feeling more alone than ever.
Teaming up with St Monica Trust we were pleased to be able to personally deliver over 70 festive meals to people who were alone and isolated on Christmas Day. Staff and volunteers dressed up, took extra gifts, sang carols, but most importantly delivered a hot meal and enjoyed a chat.
We are thankful we had the opportunity to reach as much of the community as we did during this difficult time.
Christmas Cheer
As well as this, on 23rd December a decorated double-decker bus took to the streets of Bath for a special festive evening, visiting loneliness hot spots in the city. The bus, complete with a band, The Mayor of Bath, a bear, and Santa and his elves, played festive songs and hundreds of people joined from their gardens, windows and balconies to clap and sing along.
We were bowled over by the response to this event and we had many heartwarming comments about how it had brought the community together.
Befriending
Demand for Befriending continues to rise and at the beginning of the year we had 80 face-to-face Befriending matches. These weekly visits are vital to people who are housebound and living by themselves, providing emotional and social benefits for both older person and volunteer, with genuine friendships forming.
With all face-to-face visits stopped due to restrictions, existing matches moved at once to Telephone Befriending.
\ ; “With a shared interest in sports, current affairs, history and lots of other things, we always have common ground. John has a smart phone and it helps us to stay connected in lots of ways.” Jamie ps . Ce ae S&S:
There has been a huge upsurge of requests for befrienders as well as offers of befriendees.
The lack of social contact for people means these regular calls have been a lifeline.
Moving forward there is a need for our Befriending Service to enable people to make other connections and contacts in their community, as well as helping to increase confidence.

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES
Our Home Response and Home from Hospital services are absolutely crucial to supporting people in and out of the Royal United Hospital, providing immediate ongoing support to reduce the risk of unnecessary readmission into hospital. The team supports local NHS and Council services by providing a blended approach, and signposts to other organisations when needed.
You might be surprised to know that our Home Response and Home from Hospital team were one of the only local charities still going into people’s homes throughout the year. The number of referrals during this time doubled, and following government guidelines and wearing appropriate PPE the team carried out an astonishing 3,000 home visits.
We offer essential practical support like shopping, sorting vaccination appointments and housework, but have noticed an increase in people feeling lonely and isolated. This has led to the team supporting people with more complex issues, providing the emotional support that some people so desperately needed.
Home Response/Home from Hospital
Moving forward Home Services want to increase their capacity for support further and are specifically trying to highlight the importance of outdoor mobility to encourage people to regain confidence and strength to leave their home.
Our paid for At Home Service goes from strength to strength with many people requesting extra visits during the pandemic.
At Home Service
We now have 90 people using our At Home service and are seeing a rise in people living with dementia.
Our dedicated team of Age UK Bath & North East Somerset Support Workers went over and above daily for older people who were very much in need, with everything from food shopping and cleaning to drain unblocking. The team have had to think of inventive ways to remind people with dementia to not leave the house, deal with people who had crippling anxiety and even attending the funerals of people who had no family to ensure they were not alone in their very last moments.
Our Support Workers really make a difference.

Later Life
Connections
Later Life Connections is a project that signposts and delivers practical solutions to loneliness and isolation through oneto-one personal support. Much activity was underway at the beginning of the year, with over 25 people having been referred specifically due to loneliness and a further 200 people having been offered additional support and signposting.
Of course, the pandemic meant that focus had to switch to volunteer coordination of emergency shopping, medicine and telephone support, but by July, issues around loneliness were becoming more apparent, which required a renewed emphasis.
The project is part of and helped to set up the Bath & North East Somerset Compassionate Community, which provides the networking element for Later Life Connections, including effective referrals and information. During the pandemic the Compassionate Community, which brings communities and people together to care for each other, has become a central means of coordinating emergency support for vulnerable people across Bath & North East Somerset.
Since July 2020, the Later Life Connections Coordinator and team of volunteers have supported over 100 older people with a complete range of support including getting people online to video call family, linking up with online groups in the area as well as tailored telephone befriending.
A small number of iPads, bought as part of the grant funded project, were made available on a 'free loan' to older people wanting to try out using the internet. In addition, we were able to nominate 3 people to receive a free tablet through a partnership between Age UK and Dixons Carphone Warehouse.
Our Gadget Busters volunteers have supported over 20 people with either telephone support, or where essential, visits at home. This is a key focus for growth as Covid lockdowns and restrictions have highlighted the benefits that digital skills can provide.

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES
Information & Advice
Our Information & Advice team continue to be an utterly vital service in Bath & North East Somerset with life changing results.
At the beginning of the year, a busy Information & Advice team with on average 20 - 25 new requests for support per week became briefly quiet with people being more concerned about immediate challenges around shopping and medicine pickups which our other teams dealt with.
After this initial lull, referrals and requests built back up, helped by a targeted leaflet drop to areas identified as having the greatest need, which was promoted across social media and picked up by local media.
The Information & Advice team have predominantly dealt with requests for benefit checks and this year alone helped 789 people take up an enormous £611,901 of benefits owed to people.
“We had no idea that we were entitled to the extra £200 a week in benefits, it has made life so much more manageable. Thank you Age UK Bath & North East Somerset.” Paul & Mary

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES
With increased need and significant pressure on funding from statutory sources, we would not be able to provide the broad range of support for older people across Bath and North East Somerset without the vital funds we receive from charitable trusts and community funds. We are so grateful.
We secured additional support during 2020/21 through some Covid emergency funding programmes and local supporters. National support includes the Clothworkers’ Foundation, Edward Gostling Foundation, National Lottery Community Fund Coronavirus Support Fund and Francis Winham Foundation.
Our local supporters included the Sperring Charity, Roper Family Charitable Trust, Quartet Community Foundation and Novia Foundation. We have also been well supported by the local community and individuals during this difficult year to ensure that we could continue to support older people isolated at home and particularly impacted by the Covid crisis.
This year we have been working with Giving Box in the centre of Bath where the public can ‘tap and donate’ since November 2020, received support through The Sewing Collective whose volunteers made masks and we are one of the chosen charities for the Co-op Local Community Fund this year so their customers can choose to support Age UK Bath & North East Somerset through local stores.
Support from the Community and Charitable Trusts
Over the past year we worked increasingly closer with our local partners:

REACHING OUT TO OUR COMMUNITY
We are proud that the amount and quality of coverage for Age UK Bath & North East Somerset has increased significantly in the last year and has showcased many aspects of our work in the community.
This has happened across local online, print and radio as well as regional BBC Radio and BBC & ITV TV. From the VE Day Singing Bus, a six year old pen-pal writing to ten of our clients, to celebrating our Home Services and Day Clubs, we have extended our reach across Bath & North East Somerset.
As well as the human stories, we have been seen as an expert voice by being featured for World Alzheimer's Day and for a special feature about tackling loneliness in lockdown for Loneliness Awareness Week.

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES
The last 12 months have been some of the most tumultuous, changing and challenging that we have experienced, but it has also been so fast paced that to really meet the needs of older people in Bath & North East Somerset we needed to stop and take some time to reflect. Everyone's experience of the pandemic has been unique and we knew we needed to understand this better. We produced a survey for People over 55 to find out what life has been like, what have been the challenges, issues, and, ultimately, what needs to change for a better future, as we learn to live with Covid.
We were thrilled that we had a 36% return on our survey which went out to over 2,000 people and even more online.
Key challenges, identified by older people responding to our survey included; the level of isolation and loneliness, significant life events like bereavement and poor health, in addition to physical and emotional decline. Many families and loved ones have also had to become carers which has added to existing pressures.
Learning from our Community
These findings from our survey are shaping our strategy and future funding requirements. We are excited to share the findings soon.
“ Not to be reliant on others for everything. Central person or organisation that can give me support to access other bodies - medical, home aids, advice - rather than having to ring loads of places with varied confusing responses.”
“I've never spent so much time alone without human contact before. I have become very isolated and have felt very lonely .”
“A place to go and social opportunities that are welcoming to a person on their own as well as others in their 50s and 60s. Not assuming we are infirm, rather events to keep us young, fit and stimulated. Most community events are very family oriented and full of families who know each other. It feels very isolating .”

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES
We know from listening to older people, findings from our recent survey and talking to our partners, that the challenges of the pandemic remain very real.
Sadly, the knock-on effect to services, wellbeing, and the economy means new waves of need will have repercussions for years to come.
There is no denying that older people have been some of the hardest hit during this pandemic and for many, the isolation, lack of contact and worry has taken its toll.
In the coming year we will:
-
Review our Organisational Strategy
-
Develop our digital infrastructure
-
Develop our Paid For Services
-
Review our Estate and Estate Strategy
There is still so much more we can do to support older people out of the pandemic and towards a confident, happy and healthy later life.

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES
Part 3: Financial Review
We are reporting a surplus of income over expenditure of £150,277 (2019/20 - £20,524).
The financial investments and policies of the organisation are reviewed on a regular basis. It was decided that in the light of the current investment climate and the future plans of the organisation to maintain the accounts as they stood. Reviewing of the investments is a constant process but it is acknowledged by the board that with interest rates as low as they are, there is currently little chance of improving our return.
The financial position of the charity remains robust in the medium term with unrestricted reserves of £494,584. This helped by generous donations and legacies of £136,969.
However, the Charity does still face significant challenges in generating new revenue streams to fulfil its charitable objectives and meet the ever-increasing needs of the rising number of people in later life.
Principal Risks and Uncertainties
The charity has traditionally relied upon various sources of funding, including local authority grants, commissioned service and grant funding from trusts, foundations and individuals. While these continue as current sources of income, clearly present challenges to revenue our streams are potentially at greater risk due to the effects of Covid-19.
This could present challenges to our ability to meet increased demand for our services.
In order to mitigate this, we are
-
Developing paid for services in order to support the delivery of our charitable objects; Increasing our grant fundraising activity;
-
Ensuring efficiency in the use of resources, monitoring expenditure to control costs and safeguard reserves;
-
Maintaining good relationships with funders and contractual partners;
-
Collaborating with other charitable organisations to make best use of resources and intellectual property;
-
Developing new ways of working to ensure Age UK Bath & North East Somerset remains relevant in an ever- changing environment.
We have also taken advantage of some government support schemes.

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES
Principle Funding Sources
The principle funding sources in the year arise from Virgin Care, Bath & North East Somerset Council, BSW Clinical Commissioning Group, various grants and traded income through our Day Clubs.
Reserves Policy
In compliance with the Charity Commission Guidance, the Trustees ensure that a Financial Risk Assessment is completed as part of the annual budgeting and business planning process. The Reserves Policy was re-assessed in year.
In assessing the need for reserves, the trustees consider:
-
Funds required to provide cover for risks such as unforeseen expenditure or unanticipated loss of income
-
2.Specific funding for the development of new or expanded services, and;
-
3.The requirement for working capital to protect the continuity of our core, unfunded work*
For the 2020/21 financial year the trustees have assessed the reserves needed, based upon the above criteria, as a minimum of 3 months expenditure.
The total value of funds held at the balance sheet date was £524,955 (2019/20: £374,678). The value of restricted funds was £30,371 (2019/20: £39,036). Designated funds of £72,779 (2019/20: £72,779) are held to support specific future projects. The charity also holds £7,525 of funds that can only be realised by disposing of tangible fixed assets.
Therefore, the free reserves of the charity are £414,280 (2019/20: £259,238)
The charity holds funds in line with the policy, although the charity is facing unprecedented demand for services and the future for the commissioning of statutory services remains uncertain. A number of services continue to be funded or part-funded from voluntary income, so we continuously seek additional income to further develop our services.

2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of preparing the financial statements
The financial statements of the charitable company, which is a public benefit entity under FRS 102, have been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102) 'Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019)', Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland' and the Companies Act 2006. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, with the exception of investments which are included at market value.
The financial statements are prepared on a going concern basis under the historical cost convention, modified to include certain items at fair value.
The financial statements are prepared in sterling which is the functional currency of the charity and rounded to the nearest pound.
Going concern
The trustees consider that there are no material uncertainties about the Charity’s ability to continue as a going concern.
Preparation of consolidated financial statements
The financial statements contain information about Age UK Bath and North East Somerset Ltd as an individual company and do not contain consolidated financial information as the parent of a group. The charity is exempt under Section 399(2A) of the Companies Act 2006 from the requirements to prepare consolidated financial statements.

Estimates and judgements are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.
Critical accounting estimates and assumptions
None
Critical areas of judgement
None
Income
Income is recognised when the charity has entitlement to the funds, any performance conditions attached to the item(s) of income have been met, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably.
For legacies, entitlement is taken as the earlier of the date on which either: the charity is aware that probate has been granted, the estate has been finalised and notification has been made by the executor(s) to the Trust that a distribution will be made, or when a distribution is received from the estate. Receipt of a legacy, in whole or in part, is only considered probable when the amount can be measured reliably and the charity has been notified of the executor’s intention to make a distribution. Where legacies have been notified to the charity, or the charity is aware of the granting of probate, and the criteria for income recognition have not been met, then the legacy is a treated as a contingent asset and disclosed if material.
Income from government and other grants, whether ‘capital’ grants or ‘revenue’ grants, is recognised when the charity has entitlement to the funds, any performance conditions attached to the grants have been met, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably and is not deferred.
Interest on funds held on deposit is included when receivable and the amount can be measured reliably by the charity; this is normally upon notification of the interest paid or payable by the Bank.

2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued
Income
Trading income is included in incoming resources in the SOFA and trading costs are included in resources expended. Income represents commissions receivable, excluding value added tax.
Expenditure
All expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all costs related to the category. Expenditure is recognised where there is a legal or constructive obligation to make payments to third parties, it is probable that the settlement will be required and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. It is categorised under the following headings:
-
Costs of raising funds includes of insert details;
-
Expenditure on charitable activities includes insert details; and
-
Other expenditure represents those items not falling into the categories above.
Irrecoverable VAT is charged as an expense against the activity for which expenditure arose.
Tangible fixed assets
Fixed assets costing in excess of £500 (per individual item) are capitalised. Motor vehicles will be written off over four years on a straight line basis. Other assets are fully depreciated in the year of purchase.
Taxation
The charity is exempt from corporation tax on its charitable activities.
Fund accounting
Unrestricted funds are donations and other income received or generated for the objects of the charity without further specified purpose and are available as general funds.
Designated funds are unrestricted funds earmarked by the Trustees for particular purposes.
Restricted funds are to be used for specified purposes as laid down by the donor which have been raised by the charity for specific purposes. Expenditure which meets these criteria is identified to the fund.
Further explanation of the nature and purpose of each fund is included in the notes to the financial statements.
Pension costs and other post-retirement benefits
The charitable company operates a defined contribution pension scheme. Contributions payable to the charitable company's pension scheme are charged to the Statement of Financial Activities in the period to which they relate.
Donated goods, services and facilities
Donated goods, services and facilities are recognised as income when the charity has control over the item, any conditions associated with the donated item have been met, the receipt of economic benefit from the use by the charity of the item is probable and that economic benefit can be measured reliably. In accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102), general volunteer time is not recognised and refer to the trustees’ annual report for more information about their contribution.
On receipt, donated goods, services and facilities are recognised on the basis of the value of the gift to the charity which is the amount the charity would have been willing to pay to obtain services or facilities of equivalent economic benefit on the open market; a corresponding amount is then recognised in expenditure in the period of receipt.
Financial instruments
The charitable trust only holds basic financial instruments as defined in FRS 102. The financial assets and financial liabilities of the academy trust and their measurement basis are as follows:
Financial assets - trade and other debtors are basic financial instruments and are debt instruments measured at amortised cost. Prepayments are not financial instruments. Amounts due to the charity’s wholly owned subsidiary are held at face value less any impairment.
Cash at bank - is classified as a basic financial instrument and is measured at face value.

Financial instruments
Financial liabilities - trade creditors, accruals and other creditors are financial instruments, and are measured at amortised cost. Taxation and social security are not included in the financial instruments disclosure definition. Deferred income is not deemed to be a financial liability, as the cash settlement has already taken place and there is an obligation to deliver services rather than cash or another financial instrument. Amounts due to charity’s wholly owned subsidiary are held at face value less any impairment.
Operating leases
Rentals paid under operating leases are charged to the Statement of Financial Activities as incurred.
Redundancy / Termination payments
Termination benefits are measured at the best estimate of the expenditure required to settle the obligation at the reporting date. If the expected settlement date of the termination payments is 12 months or more after making the provision and the effect would be material, the present value of the obligation is calculated using an appropriate discount rate.
