Chair’s Foreword

Chief Executive Officer’s Report

2022-2023 has been a year of development; with a significant focus on meeting the health and safety needs at Princess Christian’s Farm and putting the farm action plan into practice. Key achievements:

As an organisation we pride ourselves on our ability to adapt, we identify a problem and work cohesively as a team to find viable and long-term solutions; the support and understanding of our fantastic work force gives the organisation the strength and ability to adapt and manage change effectively. We regularly update KASBAH's Five Year Vision in line with new ventures and directions - this document is available to view on our website - www.kasbah.org.uk.

Financial Report

we successfully met each target by December 2022. The biggest achievement was the commissioning of both an extensive workshop and a bespoke sensory room. KASBAH also replaced three kitchens, pebble dashed one of the properties and updated fixtures and fitting in all sites.

KASBAH continues to develop its robust financial management systems and is pleased to confirm that the charitable organisation has maintained its strong financial position. There is an on-going need for effective cash flow as the majority of KASBAH’s reserves are tied up in the properties. The organisation brought forward a balance of £304,379 in the form of grant from Kent County Council to complete the Health and Safety works at Princess Christian’s Farm. We have worked hard as an organisation to be in a strong financial position at year end which we are pleased to confirm has been achieved even with a small, anticipated deficit (£192,898) with a total annual turnover of £2,377,099. Please see the full audited accounts for further information and impact as this year was more complex to document due to increasing farm activities.

KASBAH is actively working towards its evolving FiveYear Vision, the focus remains on ensuring the longterm financial stability of the organisation, meeting evolving, and emerging service user needs and being able to be creative and dynamic in our solutions.

Our budgeting assumptions have continued to be on the conservative side (as is appropriate in the general economic situation).

If you would like to see our full Trustee Report and Accounts for this year, please call the KASBAH office on 01474 536501 or alternatively they can be viewed on the KASBAH website (www.kasbah.org.uk) or the Charity Commission website (www.charitycommission.gov.uk).

2022/23 has been a year of in-house development and investing in each KASBAH site to maintain the high-quality provisions we are proud to provide. Kent County Council provided an extensive list of health and safety works to be completed at the farm and

What We Do and Why We Do It

To support people with disabilities towards greater independence, choice and equality.

THE VISION

KASBAH will respect the rights and circumstances of each person and actively encourage empowerment and inclusion into all aspects of life and living. This will be achieved with a flexible and diverse range of support services to its members.

THE MISSION

Together we will create innovative solutions to meet new identified needs and expand the organisation.

THE ORGANISATION’S CORE VALUES

KASBAH will promote:

DEVELOPMENT

QUALITY MANAGEMENT

KASBAH continues to focus on development, regularly asking the members for feedback and introducing a robust customer satisfaction monitoring aid in the form of simple questionnaires. One nominated staff member within each service provision undertakes this task.

Internal control measures are in place and are working effectively for the organisation. Steps have been taken throughout the last financial year and actioned in order to minimise risk to the organisation.

The focus has continued to be partnership - working with statutory and voluntary agencies, raising the organisation’s profile and ensuring the service is meeting the membership’s changing needs, as well as ensuring all services are accessible to the different needs of KASBAH members.

The KASBAH newsletter (KASBAH News) has continued to improve, with increased member involvement.

KASBAH Board

Outreach

Outreach is the end product for our service users who have progressed through our training houses. We support each person to live as independently as is possible within their own homes. The Outreach team consists of six Life Skills Coach with many years of experience and knowledge which helps each person thrive. The team supports and encourages each person to do all the tasks that are needed in everyday life, such as cleaning, shopping, cooking, laundry, support to pay utility bills and understand letters as well as have a positive structure to the day and week. As a team we also invest extensive time in providing emotional support.

Then there is the fun side of Outreach support. The team have identified that when a service user moves into independent living, they find that it is very different from being in a supported living environment where there are always others around and can often feel isolated and alone when they take the big leap to living on their own. So we make sure we provide regular opportunities for shared support and group activities. The option for a group Social Day is available every Friday and this is often the highlight of each person’s week; we offer a wide range of activities and opportunities. As this part of the support is group based; we support learning to share and compromise, while enjoying themselves and each other, we encourage everyone to make lasting friendships and maintain those friendships. We do this by encouraging respect for each other’s opinions, likes and dislikes, by taking turns to choose the activities and listening to others opinion’s, for example, if there is a show, film or place that they would like to see/visit, they take turns to decide on the weekly activity.

The team always tries its best to meet the needs of each individual. We approach each person with an open mind and work in partnership with them to achieve their personal goals. We will always respect personal choices and encourage each person to be as independent, fulfilled, happy and healthy as possible.

DIAL

DIAL and the Advisor Service are continuing to work together and are still proving to be a very successful team. Following on from the challenges of Covid 19 restrictions, our team of dedicated volunteers continued supporting clients and members through telephone appointments and this year also saw an increase in return to face-face appointments held at the KASBAH Office.

This year KASBAH partnered with Disability Assist to provide information and advice services to clients in North West Kent.

About Disability Assist

Disability Assist is a charity which helps people with disabilities in Kent to live more independent lives. This means having the right support in place and being in control to live the life they choose.

We are run by disabled people, so we understand the challenges of life with a disability or long-term health condition. We support disabled people to have choice and control in all aspects of their lives.

KASBAH Staff and Volunteers worked with Disability Assist to receive referrals that came in through the centralised contact number or to KASBAH directly for clients in the area of North West Kent.

KASBAH also continued to provide its information and advice service to the wider KASBAH membership across Kent and Medway.

Run by disabled people, for disabled people.

Case Study Mr B

This Client came to us originally for support with his PIP application. He had a back injury previously and unfortunately this had caused long term effects meaning he had chronic pain and mobility issues, this had also led to him being unable to work. We were able to support him to fill in his PIP application, which was successful.

He then returned to us for support with his Housing benefit application, he had recently moved into sheltered housing accommodation, prior to this he lived with his mother before she passed away, so had never applied himself and was unsure how to do this. We explained how housing benefit worked and were able to provide face to face support for him to apply. We then gave him some help with calling the council for updates on his application progress when he had not heard anything.

Within the same month we helped him to apply for Universal credit, this is done online, and he was finding the process difficult to understand. We managed to set him up a universal credit account, make the application and book an appointment for him to show his ID and supporting paperwork.

He was finding the process a bit overwhelming, with applying for three different things in the space of two months and not having much understanding of the processes or technology. He called our advice line a few times following his applications for both emotional and practical support. He had some issues logging into his Universal credit account and we were able to help him resolve this, he also felt quite lonely so spending some time on the phone having a catch up with him seemed to really brighten his day. All his applications have been successful, and he has been incredibly thankful for the support we have given him and will call if he needs any further help or just a chat.

Case Study – client S

Mr S was a returning DIAL client who required assistance for a PIP review. The Advisor assisted the client to fill out the form and sort through evidence to accompany the form. During the appointment, the client stated that they were concerned that they were not receiving the correct rate of ESA. The Advisor helped the client to contact DWP and request a review which the Advisor supported them with.

As a result of DIAL’s assistance the clients rates for both benefits was increased. The client received some back dated benefit payment and had severe disablement premium added to their benefits.

The client was extremely grateful for the assistance with both benefit claims.

Hattie Webb House

Hattie Webb House is located in the heart of Rochester town, close to all amenities and good public transport services. At this moment in time the house is occupied by three tenants, two have physical and learning disabilities and one has learning disabilities. The house is fully adapted to meet the needs of all our service users that have physical disabilities.

All three current tenants that live in the house meet the criteria for being at Hattie Webb House in terms of their disabilities and identified areas of support that is required to live an independent life within our community.

We have two dedicated and knowledgeable members of staff on site, one part time House Co-ordinator, one full time Life Skills Coach and additional bank support when required. The house is staffed Monday to Friday and at weekends for meal support, there is the option for evening and weekend staff support upon request for activities outside of the usual working hours. The bank staff cover when there is sickness or holiday cover required this ensures that support is present when there is absence with regular staff. The house tenants have access to 24 hours out of hours emergency call provision; this is done on a rota system between the two HWH staff. The tenants have demonstrated recently that they are very capable of looking out for each other and supporting each other when required in the event of an emergency. Very often they contact on call for advice and guidance on what to do in an emergency situation.

Hattie Webb House provides a 1-1 day respite service provision for young adults with learning and or physical disabilities, this service is based at Hattie Webb House and staff provide independent living skills training. These sessions require booking in advance are from 10am until 2pm. At present we have 2 service users that access this service during the week. Staff are allocated responsibility for each session to ensure consistency and person centred when planning activities and timetables incorporating the main key areas of learning within the tasks that they have chosen.

At Hattie Webb House we promote independence and ensure we provide a person-centred approach with all of our service users; we aim to empower existing skills in order to achieve great outcomes. We are always happy to welcome new and previous visitors into our house and we will even provide a nice cuppa and a chat, if your very lucky there may even be a biscuit or cake on offer too.

Gingerbread House

Gingerbread house is a large five-bedroom chalet bungalow in Northfleet. It has been extended over two floors. The entrance is spacious and welcoming, full of both light and personality and is the hub of the house. This is where our service users living within the property both dine and take part in all sorts of in-house activities.

This property offers shared living accommodation for up to four people with a sleep-in provision for those who need additional support during the night.

the decision to migrate our animals in the garden over to PCF to be cared for by our wider service user community.

Teepan, Thomas, Sam and Sophie are still happily living at Gingerbread House supported by their staff team. Our person-centred approach has enabled everyone to flourish within this setting. Everyone’s confidence and independence has grown, with our focus promoting effective twoway communication, which has been noted by outside care professionals that there has been a vast improvement for all service users living at Gingerbread House.

Over the last year our service users have accessed a variety of activities within the community dance exercise classes, sports, football sessions, New yorker club, once monthly discos, and pub nights.

Gingerbread service users all access PCF once or twice weekly, thoroughly enjoying the opportunity to work in a true life setting with a menagerie of different animals. Because we are so busy with our animals at the farm, we made

Maddison House

Maddison House is a Supported Living project that is situated in Northfleet, Kent. The building itself boasts seven spacious bedrooms that are all en-suite, each bedroom includes fridges and work tops that could be used to prepare small snacks. Our lounge-diner area is utilised by residents for socialising, group training/ ‘refresher sessions’, house meetings and group meals. Residents also share a Kitchen, Laundry Room and Garden.

Maddison House is not staffed 24/7 and we do not have sleep over staff in order to increase independence with a view to moving to live independently within the community. Maddison House staff provide support with all aspects of daily living for example budgeting, cooking, cleaning and emotional support whilst encouraging further independence. Additionally we like to keep things Fun! Residents are supported to access social skills sessions (both day time and evening) and to attend a nightclub in Gillingham once per-month where the residents have an opportunity to link up with individuals from other sites and have an enjoyable time together. Staff provide occasional weekend support for the residents to plan and cook a group meal together such as a Sunday roast dinner.

Maddison House is tailored for individuals whom strive to live independently but wish to maintain a high level of social activity and group involvement. Past, present and future residents have the option to treat Maddison House as a stepping stone before moving on to live independently or to treat Maddison House as a longer term option. Our Outreach has expanded this year, we now have 5 service users who have gone onto independent living, but still want to benefit from the support and community at Maddison House.

From a staff perspective, at Maddison House our promise to each resident is to support them to achieve a meaningful and fulfilling life. This includes goal planning, providing choice, pushing boundaries, self-advocating and positive risk-taking. We love Maddison House and our service users are proud to call it their home.

We have also enjoyed day trips to London, shows at The O2 Arena and several long weekends at Butlin’s.

We adapt our support to each individual needs and abilities. At Rochester Road we promote independence, we praise and celebrate individuals’ achievements and empower individuals to lead a fulfilling life whilst maintaining a community presence.

Rochester Road has five bedrooms and a staff sleepover room. We currently have four residents at Rochester Road. We hope to fill the vacant room soon. Staff support residents to live and be as independent as possible, whilst making a house a home. Rochester Road has a lovely, homely feel and is very comfortable with the addition of a beautiful new kitchen, colour scheme chosen by our service users. We also have lovely gardens and a resident cat. Rochester Road benefits from the bus stop being situated outside of our property and we have local shops within walking distance including a pharmacy, takeaways, convenience stores and a cash point. We are only a tenminute bus ride to the town centre, promenade and the supermarkets. We also have an annexe in our rear garden, this is self-contained and provides living accommodation for one resident. The support needs provided are of a lower level of need to the main house and offer a more independent accommodation to our current resident.

ACHIEVEMENTS

Rochester Road celebrate everyone’s birthdays. We had the pleasure of supporting one of our service users to celebrate her 50th Birthday she wanted a party and to dance and have cake. We ensured her wishes were fulfilled and she danced the night away and had lots of cake. We promote group activities, social skills and enjoy the local community as much as possible. Rochester Road is committed to promoting independence, choice and person-centred approaches in everything we do.

Three of our service users attend Princess Christian Farm for day service which provides a variety of work experiences such as animal care through to horticultural.

Rochester Road staff are committed to supporting service users to have holidays each year. This year the service users wanted to trial a caravan holiday, which we have booked and will be going in June.

Seabrooke House

Seabrooke House is a six bedded Supported Living home in Swanscombe. It was set up as KASBAH’s first supported living scheme, but we are now transitioning into Supported living tailored for capable individuals whom strive to live independently but wish to maintain a high level of social activity and group involvement.

We will continue to encourage individuals to strive for further independence by promoting independent living skills, this includes (but is not limited to) development in cookery, cleaning, shopping, healthy eating, finances, travel, providing skills to go out independently. We are passionate about empowerment and development. Seabrooke is often the start of many young adult’s own unique journey towards greater independence and will continue to do so. Seabrooke is a place where we support positive risk taking. We educate disabled people on how to effectively risk assess each situation and make informed decisions. In line with the Mental Capacity Act we minimise risks but do not remove them. Everyone has the capacity to make and learn from their own decisions. Seabrooke is a place where we promote and encourage all aspects of independence.

Seabrooke is a place where we empower every individual to lead a full, active, safe and happy life and to strive to meet their full potential. In addition to the main house, we have 2 independent living flats next door at Janus Court for those who would like a taste of independent living with the safety net of Seabrooke close at hand. We also have a small day service provision “Life Skills Access” specialising in independent living skills. Seabrooke currently provides 24hr support. Residents will have the option to treat Seabrooke House as a stepping stone before moving on to live independently or to treat Seabrooke House as a longer term option.

Hildenborough, Kent with over 116 acres of pasture and woodlands. It is a life skills training facility supporting people with a learning and /or physical disability. The aim is for individuals to learn new life skills both on the farm and in all aspects of daily living.

Princess Christian’s Farm is a unique environment for service users to come and make friends, build confidence, and develop employability skills in a variety of vocational areas. Service users build skills within Animal Care, Agriculture, Horticulture, Catering, Retail, DIY/ Woodwork/Crafts and Sport.

We currently have 81 service users attending the farm and the waiting list continues to grow. The service users have the opportunity to work in a variety of areas throughout the week to help support their skills development and interest and make firm, long-lasting friendships.

The farm supports two school/college groups to build on their farm-based and life skills each week and we plan to expand this provision further in the new year. We hold regular events throughout the year and have learnt so much in our first year of opening that has enabled each event to be more successful from the last.

On average the Advisors supported 6 requests for support, advice and guidanGe every day but thSs dSd not always meet the outcome system of Ihe new contract. If a person had multiple issues such as a benefit claim but also needed advice on housing and an adaptslion, this wa5 sbll only ￿U￿ted as 1 person in the full year period.

As part of an audit in accordancè with ISAS IUKI, we exercise professional judgement and mainlain professional scepticism Ihroughout the 8u(Jil. Irregularities. including fraud, are Instances of non-compliance wlh laws and regulations. We design procedures in line wlh our responsibilities, outlined above, to delecl m8lerial misststemenls in respect of irregularibes, i￿luding fraud. The extent lo which our proceduros are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud. is detailed below. Based on our understanding of the charttable company and induslry. Ihe principal risks of non-compliance wilh laws and regulations were deemed lo relate lo the Care Quality Commission, the Charities Act 2011 and the Companies Act 2006, and we considered the extent 19 which non-compliance might materially affect the finawal statements. We also considered Ihos& laws and regulatior)s that do not have a direct impact on Ihe preparation of th8 ffinanual statements such 8s GDPR and data protection regulations. Hawng revlewed the laws and regulations applicable to the charity. we designed and perfom)ed audlt procedwes to obtain sufficient appropriate audit eviden￿. Specifically, we.. S6l¢c¢d a te¥m wf(h sect(X 0xperience lo pwlomi the audlt. Obtsined and reviewed inlemal policies and procedures and exlemal guidanc8. including the Care Quality Commission inspection report. Held discussions with management involved in the compliance functions. including consideration of known or suspected instances of non-compliance with law5 and regulation and fraud. Remewed Ihe completenes5 and accuracy of associated dis¢losures m3de in the financial ststements. We evaluated management's incenb.ves and OPPDrtunities for fraudulent manipulation of the financial slalements (Includir￿ the risk of override of controls) and delem)ined that the key risk5 were related to posting inappropriate journal entiies to overstate income, and management bias in accountr'ng estimates. parbcularly the fair value of revalued property, ané areas of the financial statements requiring judgement, such as the impairment of debtor balances. Audit proceéures perfom)ed by us included.. Assessing the systems and CC￿trolS In place. and whether any weaknesses were identified thich could suggest or allow fraud. Designing and performing audit procedures to obtain Suff￿lent approprlate 8udlt evldence In relation to the completeness of income. Challenging assumptions made by management in arriving at accounting estimate5 and judgements. The propety valuations as al the yearnd were undertaken by an independent estale agent. Identifying and testing joumal entrie5, to ensure there was a Clear business rationale for transactions oUts￿e the normal course of bu5ines5. The audit has been planned and performed in such a way as lo best identlfy rlsks of materlal misstatement, ho￿￿ver, because of the inherent limitations of audit procedures there is a risk that we will not detect all irregularities, including those that may lead lo material misslal8menls in the financial slatements. For example, whilst we have property planned and performed our audit in accordance with audrting standards, the fvrther removed non-compliance wth laws and regulations is from the events and transactions refie¢ted in the financial statements, the less likely 8u(Jit proeedurts are lo identify it. Also. the risk of not dele¢ling an irregularity due lo fraud is higher than the risk of not detecting one resulting from error, due to probatAe deliberate concealment. override of Gonirols. ￿lluSIon or misrapr8sent8tions.

On average the Advisors supported 6 requests for support, advice and guidanGe every day but thSs dSd not always meet the outcome system of Ihe new contract. If a person had multiple issues such as a benefit claim but also needed advice on housing and an adaptslion, this wa5 sbll only ￿U￿ted as 1 person in the full year period.

As part of an audit in accordancè with ISAS IUKI, we exercise professional judgement and mainlain professional scepticism Ihroughout the 8u(Jil. Irregularities. including fraud, are Instances of non-compliance wlh laws and regulations. We design procedures in line wlh our responsibilities, outlined above, to delecl m8lerial misststemenls in respect of irregularibes, i￿luding fraud. The extent lo which our proceduros are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud. is detailed below. Based on our understanding of the charttable company and induslry. Ihe principal risks of non-compliance wilh laws and regulations were deemed lo relate lo the Care Quality Commission, the Charities Act 2011 and the Companies Act 2006, and we considered the extent 19 which non-compliance might materially affect the finawal statements. We also considered Ihos& laws and regulatior)s that do not have a direct impact on Ihe preparation of th8 ffinanual statements such 8s GDPR and data protection regulations. Hawng revlewed the laws and regulations applicable to the charity. we designed and perfom)ed audlt procedwes to obtain sufficient appropriate audit eviden￿. Specifically, we.. S6l¢c¢d a te¥m wf(h sect(X 0xperience lo pwlomi the audlt. Obtsined and reviewed inlemal policies and procedures and exlemal guidanc8. including the Care Quality Commission inspection report. Held discussions with management involved in the compliance functions. including consideration of known or suspected instances of non-compliance with law5 and regulation and fraud. Remewed Ihe completenes5 and accuracy of associated dis¢losures m3de in the financial ststements. We evaluated management's incenb.ves and OPPDrtunities for fraudulent manipulation of the financial slalements (Includir￿ the risk of override of controls) and delem)ined that the key risk5 were related to posting inappropriate journal entiies to overstate income, and management bias in accountr'ng estimates. parbcularly the fair value of revalued property, ané areas of the financial statements requiring judgement, such as the impairment of debtor balances. Audit proceéures perfom)ed by us included.. Assessing the systems and CC￿trolS In place. and whether any weaknesses were identified thich could suggest or allow fraud. Designing and performing audit procedures to obtain Suff￿lent approprlate 8udlt evldence In relation to the completeness of income. Challenging assumptions made by management in arriving at accounting estimate5 and judgements. The propety valuations as al the yearnd were undertaken by an independent estale agent. Identifying and testing joumal entrie5, to ensure there was a Clear business rationale for transactions oUts￿e the normal course of bu5ines5. The audit has been planned and performed in such a way as lo best identlfy rlsks of materlal misstatement, ho￿￿ver, because of the inherent limitations of audit procedures there is a risk that we will not detect all irregularities, including those that may lead lo material misslal8menls in the financial slatements. For example, whilst we have property planned and performed our audit in accordance with audrting standards, the fvrther removed non-compliance wth laws and regulations is from the events and transactions refie¢ted in the financial statements, the less likely 8u(Jit proeedurts are lo identify it. Also. the risk of not dele¢ling an irregularity due lo fraud is higher than the risk of not detecting one resulting from error, due to probatAe deliberate concealment. override of Gonirols. ￿lluSIon or misrapr8sent8tions.
