Chair's Report
I would like to start my report by saying a ‘BIG THANK YOU’ to Claudia and all the staff who has worked so hard during this difficult time to make sure Camden People First continue to do the good job we always do.
This year has been very sad as we also lost 2 other members and was not able to attend their funeral. It has also been a sad year, because all our social activities such as our disco was all cancelled due to the Covid lockdown. Most of us were not able to see our friends in person and go for our usual day to day work duties and other things we enjoying doing, like going to the café for breakfast or lunch and this has caused many upsets for a lot of us with learning difficulties.
On the other hand, most of us were able to see our friends and family on zoom or WhatsApp video calls. Most of us were given training to know how to use social media site to keep in touch, which was very good. For some of us who lives with our parent, it has been a challenge for the parent as places like day centres were close and parent have to provide full support during the days and was very stressful for them.
It was very sad we were not able to have any trustee and our members meetings this year, again due to the Covid lockdown as our support staff was focusing more on getting funding to make sure staff were able to get computer or laptop to work from home.
Again, it was very sad when we did not do any photo shoots modelling with photo symbol. For most people with learning difficulty, being able to model for big company gives us confidence and increase our social interaction skills, as this encourages most of us with learning difficulties to feel good within ourselves and lift our confidence. We hope we will do some shoot next year as we are all looking forward to a good year.
I would like to end my report by saying we hope we will all be able to meet in person again next year and advice all to be positive, stay safe and have a wonderful new year.

Development Manager Report
This financial year has been a strange year for everyone, though charity organisations has been the worst hit. It was a very odd experience for me to move from working in the office with my colleagues and seeing our members coming in to the office to meet with friends and carry out their work to moving on line working from home remotely.
During this financial year, we planned to carry out charity fundraising events such as our disco and healthy eating open public events, jumble sales, etc. and due to the Covid lock down none of these were done.
On a positive note, we were able to secure some Covid funding from the National Lottery and City Bridge Trust for setting up some of our members with learning difficulties and staff to work from home. Funding was granted for IT resources to enabling us to move on line and work remotely from home. Funding was also granted to support our finance department to move on line.
The big positive impact of the Covid funding was the enablement of our learning difficulties staff and volunteers were provided with IT technology such as android tablets and internet access, this enabled them to still be a part of the organisation work force and was able to meet weekly on zoom to carry out their various job rolls in conjunction with their supervisors. Having the facilities to IT technology, we held (3) staff and volunteers’ meetings on Zoom and WhatsApp’s social media platform. It is the excitement on the faces of our members that made me realised how importance it is for people to keep in touch with friends and colleagues during the difficult times.
Bear in mind, for most of our learning difficulties member’s, social media platform is not the best way to connect with people, as some of them do faces problem using technology. As an organisation, we sometimes do have our own share of problems, i.e., Wi-Fi system is unstable or other technical problems with IT, but nevertheless we were successful in reaching the needs of most of our members and staff if not all.
During this financial year, our advice and advocacy service faced the most difficult challenged in supporting our members with their benefit and other related issues as it is hard to support one on the phone or social media dealing with stress and anxiety. Support was given through collaborative partnership working with Camden Advice Network which we are a part of. Setting up of this network came at an ideal time, therefore, we would like to thank Camden council for funding us and supporting organisations to be set up in a meaningful CRM (Client Relationship Management) system.
Last but not least, I will like to extend our sincere gratitude to Moracle, photo symbol and le- soft wareman for all your hard work ensuring we were able to go on line with all our services.

Achievements and performance
What We Have Achieved
Disability Hate and Mate Crime project
In this time away from the office, all Camden Council hate crime partnership meetings have also come to a stop. The Disability hate and mate crime project coordinator was told that all efforts have been focused on getting much needed supplies to those in need, and that is why work has had to stop.
In a short meeting with one of the Camden Council partners, they had shared that there has been a big drop in the reporting of hate crimes. They do not believe that hate crimes have gone down because all places that people would normally go to or have access to, have had to shut and it is unclear as to where people can now go for help and support.
It is not as easy as just suggesting new places, as we are aware many times people are afraid of going somewhere new and talking to new people, many times they feel that they won’t be listened to and mostly not comfortable to share personal experiences with strangers.
A lot of attention has turned to COVID-19
Through the use of twitter and other social media platforms, we were made aware that lots of vulnerable people have been targeted in this time. We have made it our duty to let people know how to stay safe in this time, without causing fear and upset, as many people live alone and are already feeling isolated and overwhelmed.
For some of our learning difficulty volunteers we have had difficulty getting them involved, as they do not have the right equipment. For example, it was brought to our attention that some don’t even have WIFI and just use the data on their phone. This means, any extra use of that data like taking

Camden People First
Trustees' Report (continued)
part in meetings would result in them running out of data and a more expensive phone bill for going over.
New ways have been taken to get our learning difficulty staff and volunteers who are experiencing these problems back involved with our projects such as, getting tablets with their own data. This would also ensure that they have a screen big enough to read and take part.
Moving forward, for the remainder of the year I (the project coordinator) and my learning difficulty assistant are working together to come up with a plan on how best we can use social media, to reconnect with the public and also hear the voices of the learning difficulty community on how they have been affected and how best we can try and support them in this time.
The biggest challenges
Not being able to get back to work in the office
Not being able to do the project, with workshops and presentations it has interrupted everything we were planning to do
Everything we planned to do, all the plans that we made had to be put on hold

Easy Read
Our easy read project saw a huge success during this financial year. All of our easy read editors with learning difficulties were provided with either laptop or android tablet to work from home. Editors felt this was one of the best things that happened to them during the lock down as they were able to carry out their jobs and not felt left out of the team. We received lots of contract from NHS England and this job was done in partnership with IC Works and photo symbol. Below are the jobs that were done during the financial year:
-
Royal Berkshire Fire and Rescue Service strategy documents Set and Have Your Say
-
NHS England 'When you leave the hospital to go home x3 leaflets' CO-VID 19
-

Advice and Advocacy
Our advice and advocacy service experienced a drop-in service due to the Covid lock down as members prefer to come to the drop in session for support and get face to face support.
We were able to set up a telephone advice line but again not many people were able to use it due to the charges on the use of mobile phones, though we were successful in returning the few calls we received via users choice of communication of which most were through what app video calls. This project is funded by Camden council and we received an additional 3 months funding in July/August from City Bridge Trust to set up the online telephone advice line.
For this financial year we were able to offer 18 services to our members including advice and advocacy. Due to lockdown it was difficult to communicate so we had to use conference calls and WhatsApp calls to support our members with their benefit and advice. We held two conference calls with Department of Work and Pension (DWP). We were also working very closely with the Camden Advice Network (CAN).

-

April 2020 – June 2020
Since March we have been getting used to working from home, which has been a huge change for everyone. When lockdown started we could not continue with our project as planned. A big reason for this was because we did not have the right equipment, and so, our work came to a stop.
While we were waiting for our new equipment, we were able to use the temporary work phone to stay in contact with our Disability hate and mate crime team and have regular weekly check-ins to reduce feelings of isolation and growing fear in scary moments for our staff and volunteers.
“I felt very bored and didn’t have anything to do, easy read is all I had to look forward to. I’m so use to being in the office and not at home it’s made me feel depressed, lazy, hopeless and anxious because there has been nothing to do or anywhere to go. It has been difficult on me because of the lockdown I wasn’t able to see my friends or family and that made me upset.” – Learning difficulty assistant
At least once a week we would have a group video call on WhatsApp, so that our learning difficulty staff and volunteers could speak with each other. The project coordinator would also call them one-by-one to make sure they are well, and give them a safe space to speak in case there was anything they would want to talk about privately.
In this time, we have, been kept very busy with our Easy Read+. Almost weekly we have been able to work on documents from home using zoom and the new office equipment. This has been very good for our learning difficulty staff and volunteers, it has kept them involved and lifted their spirits during this time, as many have voiced their worries about feeling lonely and with no clear information of when things will return back to normal.

Statement of Trustees' Responsibilities
The trustees (who are also the directors of Camden People First for the purposes of company law) are responsible for preparing the trustees' report and the financial statements in accordance with the United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice) and applicable law and regulations.
Company law requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year. Under company law the trustees must not approve the financial statements unless they are satisfied that they give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charitable company and of its incoming resources and application of resources, including its income and expenditure, for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the trustees are required to:
-
select suitable accounting policies and apply them consistently;
-
observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP;
-
make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
-
state whether applicable UK Accounting Standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; and
-
prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charitable company will continue in business.
The trustees are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain the charitable company's transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charitable company and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charitable company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

-
the accounts do not accord with those records; or
-
the accounts do not comply with the accounting requirements of section 396 of the 2006 Act other than any requirement that the accounts give a ‘true and fair view' which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination; or
-
the accounts have not been prepared in accordance with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice for accounting and reporting by charities [applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102)].
I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
