The trustees (who are also the directors of York Carers Centre for the purposes of company law) present their report and financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2022 which are also prepared to meet the requirements for a directors report and accounts for Companies Act purposes.

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out in note 1 to the financial statements and comply with the charity's governing document, the Companies Act 2006 and "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 published in October 2019".

The legal and administrative information page forms part of this report.

Objectives and activities

The company’s principal activity and public benefit is to relieve in and around the city of York the elderly, the sick and people with disabilities by providing support, advice and information to those responsible for their care.

York Carers Centre is committed to meeting the needs of all Carers in York and improving their quality of life, helping them fulfil their full potential living their own life alongside their caring role. We aim to achieve this by providing support, advice and information, representing carers’ views and influencing local and national policies and practice.

Aims

Objectives

The trustees have paid due regard to guidance issued by the Charity Commission in deciding what activities the charity should undertake.

Achievements and performance

Keeping carers connected through groups and activities

We helped 513 adult carers to maintain a life of their own and stay connected to other carers through 153 group activities.

Hubs in the community

We run regular Carers’ Hubs in different locations around the city, adapting these to meet need. We've heard lots of positive feedback from carers about how this has helped to reduce isolation and build relationships with other carers in similar situations.

Families affected by addiction

Our regular group for people affected by a family member or friend’s drug or alcohol use helps those carers to stay connected to others in similar situations, reduces isolation and equips carers with new skills.

The group discussions focus on helping carers with establishing boundaries, learning coping skills, understanding relationships, sharing experiences and hearing about local resources and services.

Bereavement workshops

Our series of bereavement workshops this year gave carers chance to connect with one another, and to speak openly about both their bereavement loss and the loss of their caring role and identity.

YORK CARERS CENTRE

TRUSTEES' REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS' REPORT) (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022

Supporting someone with mental ill-health

We host two regular mental health support groups, offering family members and friends of someone with mental ill-health the chance to talk to others in similar situations, stay up to date by hearing from local health services and have their voice heard by decision makers.

Valuable speaker sessions this year included Tees, Esk and Wear Valleys NHS Trust pharmacists, several sessions with the Head of Nursing for mental health for North Yorkshire and York, the Social Prescribing and Local Area Coordination Teams, and the Action Towards Inclusion team.

Planning for Tomorrow

We responded to carers’ needs by offering a series of workshops on planning for the future, focusing on end-of-life care.

The sessions worked to tackle this difficult topic in a sensitive and open manner and provided carers with information, advice and the chance to speak to others in similar situations.

Supporting better understanding of Carers' rights

Advice work

After receiving information and advice from our specialist carer advice worker, carers said that:

Carers Assessments of Need

We completed 135 Carers Assessments of Need this year. The Assessments are undertaken by experienced staff who help carers access information and advice at a point when they first seek support, outlining what services are available as well as their rights and entitlements, alongside supporting with the emotional impact of caring.

Information sessions

Our information sessions aimed at empowering carers to understand and use their rights included:

Raising awareness of Carers' needs

Families affected by addiction

Our successful application to the NHS Mind the Gap programme, resulted in an innovative carer-led project and three carefully crafted short films demonstrating the challenges carers face in looking after someone with an alcohol or drug dependency.

The films were shared widely by our health and social care partners to raise awareness of what matters most to carers and how services, professionals and the wider community can help.

The panel concluded that our successful application showed “great knowledge of helping carers from vulnerable communities to identify and understand what matters most to them. And great evidence of co-production with carers in co-designing recommendations.”

TRUSTEES' REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS' REPORT) (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022

Carers Action Group

The Carers Action Group was set up to ensure carers voices are heard and carers are acknowledged as experts by experience. The group meet regularly with staff and statutory services and members represent carers through City of York Council Carers Strategy meetings.

Themes for discussion and action have included: care homes; the pandemic and vaccinations for carers; disability parking; a ‘wish list’ for Primary Care; carer breaks.

Staff and carers take an active role in a number of groups in the city including, Dementia Strategy; Ageing Well Partnership; Healthwatch Steering Group, all highlighting carers’ needs and the value they bring to integrating health and social care services.

Raising awareness through the media

Throughout the year we have raised awareness of caring in our community and issues affecting carers, as well as reaching out to ‘hidden’ carers who may not be accessing any support. From regional television to local press, radio and social media, we have made caring visible in our community.

Training for health and social care staff

We facilitated carer awareness training to 400 professionals from local health, social care and voluntary organisations.

Our training aims to highlight the challenges carers face, particularly around navigating statutory services and co-ordinating health and social care support. Professionals leave with a better understanding of identifying and supporting carers, where other help is available and carers health and wellbeing.

Work with employers

We engaged with 35 local employers this year to raise awareness of carers’ needs in the workplace. We are proud to have continued our partnership work with large organisations, such as York and Scarborough Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust through their launch of the Caring 4 Carers staff network.

Carer Champions

Many carers are passionate about raising awareness of carers’ needs and reducing the stigma around conditions. We support those carers to make a difference, to represent the voice of carers and to help shape local services.

Helping carers to stay well

One to one support

This year we have completed 570 one-to-one carer support sessions with 130 carers, responding to what each individual needs.

Wellbeing sessions

We delivered a range of sessions, meeting the expressed needs of carers, including: voicefulness, creative writing, an art group, bereavement workshops, and mindfulness to name just a few. Sessions support carers’ wellbeing, and help carers develop social contacts, while knowledgeable staff provide information and advice.

We hosted two courses facilitated by a counsellor helping carers to cope with their caring roles, providing time and space to explore the many emotions and feelings involved when caring for someone.

Support for carers at Foss Park

We were granted funding to work as part of a Pathway to Recovery team based at Foss Park mental health hospital, employing carers as peer supporters to support families and carers of those being discharged from hospital.

This project which began in September 2021 received around 40 referrals and we actively worked with over 20 carers up to the end of March, ensuring they have access to information and advice at the point of crisis, and support to help maintain their wellbeing.

Maximising carers’ income

This year our specialist welfare benefits worker helped 226 carers with benefit entitlement checks and support through the entire application process, generating £160,000 extra income for carers and their families.

TRUSTEES' REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS' REPORT) (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022

Valuing volunteers

Our committed group of volunteers are an important part of our work with carers, and we are proud to have over 35 volunteers this year.

Volunteers are involved in many areas of our work and use their skills and experience to support carers in a range of ways, including helping in groups for both adults and young carers, planning events, making one-to-one welfare and befriending calls and assisting with office work.

Young adult carers

Our work this year with 18- to 25-year-old carers focused on being a point of contact throughout the pandemic and providing activities to maintain their health and wellbeing. We facilitated walk- and-talk sessions enabling carers to talk freely (away from the person they care for); give them a break from the household environment, and an opportunity to exercise.

We started an Instagram Channel @yacsyork to maintain contact, continuity, familiarity, peer support and project momentum. We also developed a 60 Second Virtual Steering Group which was well received and helped shape our offer.

29 young adult carers directly benefitted from our Inspiring Change project funded by the Quilter Foundation. Creative sessions, social events, and one-to-one coaching helped carers establish goals towards independence and employability.

To celebrate Carers Rights Day, we arranged a group trip to Liverpool to meet with Barnado’s young adult carers. The trip was a real success and Liverpool carers were inspired by the possibilities and opportunities.

Young carers

We continually adapted our support during the pandemic for 5- to 18-year-old carers, responding to restrictions and finding ways to maintain activities and services without any pause or gaps. Our successful funding to the National Lottery enabled us to employ a Family Worker and Cognitive Behavioural Therapist to meet the increasing needs of young carers experiencing mental health problems.

Funding from BBC Children in Need and the Holiday Activity and Food programme provided 416 Summer Fun experiences, with a focus on healthy eating, physical activity, positive creative expression, making new friendships and young carers having their voices heard.

Successful funding including from City of York Council, Ed de Nunzio Charitable Trust and York Children’s Trust, provided 52 families with school uniforms, free IT equipment and other essentials.

Participating in the national Young Carers Action Day, young carers produced a film to use in schools to raise awareness and help identify and reach ‘hidden’ young carers.

Helping young carers to stay well

Family Support and CBT

Successful funding from the National Lottery provided 67 young carers and their families with Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Family Support.

This early intervention project was developed in response to the increasing needs of young carers aged 11 to 24, struggling with their mental health, and who often face months of waiting for diagnosis or support.

208 therapy sessions have been delivered, teaching coping skills and techniques, in venues such as schools and community centres, alongside providing practical support for the whole family, including emotional support, foodbank vouchers, debt management, funding for household items, sourcing mentors and liaising with schools and statutory service.

12 Restricted funds

(Continued)

Quilter Foundation (Carers Trust)

Funding from the Inspiring Change grant programme enabling young adult carers to take time out from the pressures they face to engage in fun activities and access one-to-one support helping overcome isolation and build their confidence and selfesteem. They will explore and identify future goals and plans that will help their transition into adulthood. In addition funding from the Aspirations grant programme helps young adult carers towards their goals, for example paying to complete a qualification needed for a job. On completion of the project, all young adult carers will have a portfolio featuring their skills and strengths; photographs of their achievements and a detailed action plan matching their identified goals and aspirations.

Joseph Rowntree Foundation

A small grant to employ a part time member of staff to facilitate a regular group for carers of people with severe mental ill health. The member of staff will also offer additional support to carers who require it and follow up any issues that arise at group meetings.

National Lottery Community Fund - Development

Funding for a development stage taking up to at least two months prior to the project work with young carers commencing. This will produce systems; develop partners, forums, groups, terms of reference; and also work with young adult carers to develop a group to influence the project going forward.

National Lottery Community Fund

Three year funding to employ a CBT Therapist and Family Worker to support young carers who have developed, or are at high risk of developing a mental health condition, whose caring responsibilities worry and upset them to such a degree that they are unable to function and lead normal healthy lives. The Therapist offers support to equip young carers with the tools and coping skills to manage a range of emotional conditions. Alongside this the Family Worker assesses the family circumstances and caring role and identifies appropriate help in the home, liaison with school, support for young carers to maintain their own health and wellbeing, maintain their education and lead healthy fulfilling lives transitioning into adulthood .

City of York Holiday Activities and Food Programme (HAF)

Holiday provision (Summer and Christmas 2021) for young carers who receive benefits-related free school meals. School holidays for some families because of increased costs (such as food and childcare) and reduced incomes can be particularly difficult and this programme provides free holiday activities including food which encourages young people to eat more healthily over the school holidays and be more active. Engaging and enriching activities are delivered which support the development of resilience, character and wellbeing along with young carers gaining an increased knowledge of health and nutrition .

Mind The Gap Programme

NHS funded programme to help integrate care systems to identify and support carers from vulnerable communities through coproduction and carer-led innovation. The six month programme is aimed at scoping how to best identify and support carers of individuals with alcohol and drug dependence. This involves engaging carers and families attending a peer support group for carers looking after someone with an addiction problem and facilitating focus group sessions with carers and families to explore, discuss and share their experience.

York Mental Health Partnership Grant

City of York grant funding to deliver a peer support service as part of the Pathway to Recovery Pilot to support carers of individuals with mental ill health. This is an exciting project, funded for one year initially, to deliver support for carers looking after someone discharged from hospital. Focus groups and carer peer support groups together with drop-in sessions at Foss Park Hospital will provide a point of contact for information, advice and support to those carers visiting people in hospital and a link into regular groups/other support services.
