OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES
3. HEALTH AND WELLBEING
a) FOOTCARE:
Clients are offered nail-cutting
and filing services from trained
volunteers
or foot health practitioners,
either
in
community
venues or in people's homes.
238people received this service during the year on a regular basis.
b) BEFRIENDING;
We supported
243 dients,
both
by telephone
and
face-to face,
approximately
120 volunteers
provide
companionship
to older people who feel isolated.
c) DEMENTIA:
With plans to meet an ever increasing
and evident
need,
during
the year we continued
to offer
a Dementia
Community
Support
Service - with
funding
from
the
NHS.
This
comprises
telephone
or
face-to-face
support/companionship
in people's
homes,
by trained
volunteers.
We also managed
4 dementia
meeting
centres
across Worcester
and
Malvern
Hills. These
were
funded
by Worcestershire
County
Council/the
National
Lottery.
We also bought
(part funded
by
the NHS) a welfare
vehicle - our CAMBUS
- to deliver
awareness
raising activities and a life stories project.
&I) BEREAVEMENT SUPPORT:
Lockdowns
were especially
diflicult
for those
who
have
been
bereaved
and we therefore
worked
with
St
Richard's
Hospice
to establish
a bereavement
support
service
- offering
a trained
listening
ear
and
companionship.
During the year we developed
this
service.
e) GOOD NEIGHBOUR NETWORK:
We are very fortunate
to have been funded
by Malvern
Hills District Council to develop a Good Neighbour
Network.
We have
provided
support
to existing
good
neighbour
groups
and
helped
others to establish-
building
upon the rich assets ofpeople, places, and partnerships
that exist within our local communities.
I) SOCIAL CLUBS, OTHER ACTIVITIES:
During
the
year
we
have
established
new
'connect'
clubs
- an
opportunity
for older
people
to
find
companionship
and freedom
from loneliness.
We also had a programme
of supported
excursions
throughout
the year to places of interest.
We sre very grateful
to Malvern
Hills District Council for funding
a project
in
partnemhip
with Malvern
Community
Action to support the transport
and excursion offer for people
with limited
access to transport - especially
in rural communities.
g) HOUSEHOLD SUPPORT FUND:
We have
been
part of the
County
wide
delivery
of the
Household
Support
Fund
to support
with
the
cost-of-living
crtsis.
On behalf of the Worcestershire
Advice Network,
we have managed
a voucher
scheme.
We have also delivered a programme
ofhome energy
checks and the installation
ofenergy saving
devices.
h) BEING WELL:
In partnership
with
South Worcestershire
CAB, we
have
been
funded
by Malvern
Hills
District
Council to
support
people's mental
health
and wefibeing
via a range of interventions.
i) WHEELCHAIR HIRE
We offer a very low-cost wheelchair
hire service.
4. SHOPS
During the year we were able to open a further
retail
outlet in Malvern
Link and support Age UK Hereford
and
Localities to open or prepare
to open 3 retail outlets
in Herefordshire.
We were also fortunate
to secure a
no-rent, temporary
furniture
shop
in the centre ofWorcester City, which sadly came to an end during
the year.
A replacement
furniture
shop has been located
within
Worcester
City.
We also put our on-line
sales on a
firmer footing and installed
new tifis in afi ofour shops.
Public benefit
In setting objectives and planning
for activities, the Trustees have given due consideration
to general guidance
published
by the Charity Commission
relating to public benefit,
including
the guidance
'Public benefit
running
a charity (PB2)t
Volunteers
Our work could not happen
without the incredible
help ofour
volunteers.
They give oftheir time tirelessly
throughout
afi
our services
and
retail outlets.
A huge gratitude
of thanks
is owed to them, especially
those who returned
to us afier
lockdowns.
We currently
have around
231 volunteers.
Ifeach of them gives just an hour of their time each week-
rnany give much more - this saves the charity overf250,000a year.
