## Stocksbridge Community Care Group Ltd
## Trustees' report
The Trustees present their annual report and financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2021 which are also prepared to meet the requirements for a directors' report and accounts for Companies Act purposes.
The financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011, the Companies Act 2006, the Memorandum and Articles of Association, and Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standards for Smaller Entities.
## **Structure, governance and management**
Stocksbridge Community care Group is a company limited by guarantee and a registered charity governed by its memorandum and articles of association. The Company was incorporated on 4 March 2008 and was entered on the register of charities of 15 May 2009.
## **Objectives and activities**
The aim of SCCG is to help combat social isolation and loneliness in older people in our local area, enabling them to remain a valuable part of our community.
## **Review of Activities**
A year like no other!
March 2020 saw the closure of The Venue, Stocksbridge, where many of our events are held. Suspended were: Memory Time Cafe Carers’ Group and Musical Memories as well as our weekly Friday Drop In, where many of those living well with dementia attended. Our face-to-face Friendly Visiting and our fairly new Bereavement Service also had to find a new way of operating. The telephone became the means of keeping in regular touch.
Dementia Companions continued to support those living well with dementia at least on a weekly basis, and often more frequently.
The Enrichment for the Elderly team (Age UK Sheffield) produced Activity packs, aimed at those living well with dementia. These were distributed by our Community Dementia Provision Co-ordinator. These included residents in two local care homes-Alpine Lodge and Belmont House who worked with their care home staff.
During the pandemic we have received a constant flow of referrals from the Specialist Dementia Advice Service under the Sheffield City Council contract for Community Dementia Provision. We received 163 dementia specific enquiries to the service, all of which were taken up by our CDP coordinator, and dealt with efficiently.
Referrals were also received from other sources including S&4Cs; social prescribing worker; SCC Outreach Worker; NGH Hospital First Contact team; Adult Social Services Team; Valley Medical; Deepcar Medical; South Yorkshire Police;SCCG and Sheffield Dementia Action Alliance.
Instead of our weekly visits to people in their own homes,we made regular calls to our 38 elderly people but at one point this increased to around 100 because other people in our community have been shielding. We’re currently ringing 52 people on a regular basis.

## Trustees' report continued
When covid hit, we were in the process of building up and training our bereavement volunteers. Some of our elderly volunteers left. Others came forward. We now have 32 Friendly Visitors and Bereavement Volunteers.
We were granted covid shielding funding with which we helped 26 households and worked with the Co-op to supply emergency grocery supplies.
The bereavement helpline was particularly difficult to run during lockdown because there could not be any face-to-face meetings, despite some cases being complicated. About 30 people were supported by this group with referrals coming from funeral directors, GPs and surgeries, social prescribing and physiotherapists. Most cases are ongoing.
Because staff did not spend so much time in our office, calls were diverted, enabling us to continue the service.
At Christmas we raised money for and made-up and distributed 70 personalised hampers. We discovered the difficulties of trying to reach those who are isolated- so much so that it’s changed how we deliver our services for good. The landscape has changed. We need to continue to adapt to it.
We were honoured to be chosen as the Annual Community Award Winners by Stocksbridge Town Council- for our work during the pandemic. We do live in a smashing town!
We want to thank our major funders: Sheffield City Council for the grant for Community Dementia Provision; The National Lottery Community Fund for supporting our Friendly Visitor and Bereavement Support schemes; the many charities listed under “Grants” in the finance section of this Annual Report; Stocksbridge Town Council for discounting our office rent by 50%; all the volunteers who give time to make this a better community and lastly but by no means least, our two workers who adapted so quickly to the new situation.
And we are really looking forward to meeting each other face-to -face in the near future.

## Trustees' report
## **Trustees responsibilities for the financial statements**
Company and charity law requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial period which show the state of affairs of the charity and of net income or expenditure of the charity for that period. In preparing those financial statements, the Trustees are required to:
- q select suitable accounting policies and apply them consistently;
- q make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent.
- q prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it
- is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in operation.
q state whether applicable accounting standards of recommended practice have been followed subject to any departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements.
The Trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and enable the Trustees to prepare financial statements. The Trustees are responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention of fraud and other irregularities.
This report has been prepared in accordance with the special provisions for small companies under Part 15 of the Companies Act 2006.
This report was approved by the Trustees on ________and is signed on their behalf by:

## Independent Examiner's report on the Accounts of Stocksbridge Community Care Group Ltd for the year ended 31 March 2021
I report on the accounts of the company for the year ended 31 March 2021, which are set out on pages 7 to 10.
## **Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner**
The trustees (who are also the directors of the company for the purposes of company law) are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 43(2) of the Charities Act 1993 (the 1993 Act) and that an independent examination is needed.
Having satisfied myself that the charity is not subject to audit under company law and is eligible for independent examination, it is my responsibility to:
- examine the accounts under section 43 of the 1993 Act;
· to follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 43(7)(b) of the 1993 Act; and
· to state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
## **Basis of independent examiner’s report**
My examination was carried out in accordance with the general Directions given by the Charity Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from you as trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a ‘true and fair view’ and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below.
## **Independent examiner’s statement**
In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention:
(1) which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements:
· to keep accounting records in accordance with section 386 of the Companies Act 2006; and
· to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records, comply with the accounting requirements of section 396 of the Companies Act 2006 and with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice: Accounting and Reporting by Charities
have not been met; or
(2) to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
