Alive Believers Centre . Reg Charity 1119924 Trustees Report (continued)

Significant Issues & Landmarks

The issues of COVID-19 which dissipated the energies of our operatives in 2021 received great attention and help in 2022.Although COVID-19 had been declared as a past crisis by regulatory authorities in the United Kingdom, we still had the Long Covid to deal with. We can say categorically however that the Liverpool City Council, as usual gave moral and financial support that empowered us to tackle Long Covid, especially as related to Critically Extremely Vulnerable People in our community. Our doors were open throughout 2022 without any interruption whatsoever. Our activities also received a boost as a result of the funding we obtained from our local Council. Our volunteers and service users heaved a sigh of relief and continued to repose confidence in our services, putting Covid behind us. As we already indicated in 2021, the delivery of our services departed significantly from our conventional methods. Our private donors too showed so much confidence in our ability to deliver our flexible and complex approaches by funding some of our activities.

Our on-site Luncheon Meetings faced a very serious decline in 2022 because many of the participants in our activities became ill and some even died as a result of the COVID-19. While we didn’t close the luncheon club entirely, we were only able to serve take-aways to those who were persistent on getting food support, even though Kensington Food Bank had closed doors altogether. Our Online activities gained wider acceptance as Covid has changed our deliverables and our clients’ orientation from the traditional approach. Although our On-Site Exercises had resumed in full force, Online Health and Wellbeing activities, such as Health Talks, Group Dynamics meetings on the Zoom, and Telephone Befriending Services could no longer be discontinued. We too saw advantages in these approaches, as our clientele base become broadened beyond the pre-Covid era. Our Trustees and a good number of philanthropists within the Rainbow 50+ members have continued to support the new growth. The effects of the National Lottery Community Fund and All Churches Trust funded have also given us good head start in various aspects of our services, especially to the Older People’s group. 2022 had also witnessed significant increase in our Charity’s services to our Kids and Teens Club.

Two major factors were responsible for the decline in the support we were getting from COSTCO Stores (through OASIS Food Project). It didn’t materialise in direct proportion to the way other activities of our Charity expanded. First, we now need a vehicle that can transport the food items from Elsmere Port to our centre. Secondly, we need committed individuals with drivers’ licence to commute to Elsmere Port once a week. It is worth noting that well-meaning members of the charity continued to support our outdoor activities by sending in food donations, most of which are without price tags, and thus couldn’t be reflected in the accounts. Our charity continues to place emphasis on the total person, more with Older People who had become the most vulnerable in our community.

7

We cannot express our gratitude as a Charity to Liverpool City Council enough, without which financial shortage would have strangulated us. Our trustees kept on coming up with

laudable ideas and plans. Steering Committees set up to liaise with members of the community also continued to work tirelessly. However, funds continued to be the limiting factor. Many of the lofty ideas are being kept in view, while the community continued to face great health challenges without adequate support. We continued to communicate with the people through administration of series of surveys, questionnaires and consultations with the hope that 2023 would bring greater support and opportunities from funders and philanthropic individuals.

Alive Believers Centre continued to widen the scope of “Community Development Model” which has endeared us to the heart of people in our community. The Liverpool Council was also helpful in supporting and sustaining our unrestricted services to the Kensington/Fairfield community making us a reference point, in terms of delivering functional and sustainable services for the development of Older People’s wellbeing. Though we still lack sustained funds to execute our veritable activities, trustees, management, volunteers and the community continue to stand up by supporting the work morally, physically and financially.

Appreciation and Acknowledgements

Our appreciation goes, first and foremost to our team of unrelenting volunteers, which include our trustees and management. The rate and pace of work these groups delivered to the community is unquantifiable. Same goes for Liverpool City Council, All Churches Trust and our traditional funders, such as National Lottery Community Fund, COSTCO Stores (through our benefactors, the OASIS) for their continuity in seeking ways to work with our various services. So also, are we thankful to LCVS for funding our four sessions of Healthy Living on Budget, in view of the rising cost of living. Feedback from participants showed that the project was an eye-opener and a life-line for our extremely vulnerable older people. The life-saving financial support we received fromSteve Morgan’s Foundation in 2020 at the heat of Covid helped us to weather through the storm of 2020 and had given us the impetus to have better preparation for 2021 and 2022. We thank community members who donated food items. We recognise our Councillors in Kensington/Fairfield ward who have continued to show interest in our sustainability as a Centre and has kept on supporting us to gain access to critically good practices to sustain the work.

Some Important Statistics

Although five of our Older People (both at the Rainbow 50+ Group and at the community level) died towards the end of the year 2021, we experienced so much growth in the number of people accessing our services, especially our online Telephone Befrienders Service. We recorded a sharp increase of 48% in the number of people telephone befrienders reached through referrals from Health Watch, Liverpool City Council, Citizens Advise Bureau, Life Rooms and some private individuals. Telephone befriender has also drawn out 60% of older people who had been homebound who have begun to come physically to the Centre and participate in activities, such as exercises, health talks, gardening and arts and crafts.

Important Changes

Human resources continued to be our greatest asset in 2022. Sacrifice and selflessness of our Volunteers and management team is unparalleled. Many of our volunteers even donated their volunteers’ stipend/transport fare to sustain seamless delivery of our services. Top on the list of our critical problems in 2022 was lack of funds to execute laudable activities that our community members are requesting for. Others are pressure on volunteers who needed to pay more attention to their day jobs, coupled with the need to attract and re-integrate our highly sensitive, frail and Clinically Extremely Vulnerable older people back to live events in our Centre. This is against the background of the increase in ageing population of Kensington/Fairfield community. The Steering Committee set up by trustees to study the way forward for future delivery of our services came up with a long list of concerns from beneficiaries and their family members. The necessity to retrain our experienced volunteers post-Covid was also critical. Resilience of ourold and new volunteers, who readily accepted bigger challenges and responsibilities, strongly aided our excellent performance in 2022. Trustees therefore directed that we prioritize more training to enable us achieve greater successes in 2023 and beyond.

Future Projections

The greatest strength of our Charity is to request for constant feedbacks from participants in our activities. These feedbacks have exposed to our staff and trustees the Strength and Weaknesses of our pilot services. Trustees have now directed that we give greater concentration to our four main activities that have proved vital for re-introducing the community to life after the 2020-2022 pandemic: Telephone Befriender Service, Health Talks, Healthy Eating at Budget and various forms of Exercises. Trustees are also working out enduring modality for expanding Online delivery of our services. Although these initiatives have been given form in 2022, trustees are re-emphasising it. Before 2020, our concentration was on Onsite Delivery of Services, trustees directed the Charity towards empowering beneficiaries to register to become members of our Online Community. We acquired some equipment, and we are seeking fund to acquire more gadgets towards driving our services in the Online direction to sustain continuity of our Charity as a going concern; and a way of making ourselves visible globally so that we can tap the huge resources out there in the entire world. Trustees believe that this will enable us develop our Online Health Talks in a wider global arena. Trustees are also exploring means of our collaborating with other charities, larger diversities, as well as national and international professionals for Online Delivery of our Services. As envisaged in 2021, trustees are already mapping a strategy for upgrading the charity into an Incorporated Charity status to give both Rainbow 50+ Group and Kids and Teens services broader outlook.
