## Annual Report APRIL **20** - MARCH **21** 01639 642277 information@nptcarers.org.uk ## **Foreword** **NPT Carers Service is pleased to present its annual report for 2020/2021, the organisation’s 12th year as an independent charity.** This is my first AGM as Chair of NPT Carers Service. It is a privilege to follow in the footsteps of Dr Ed Roberts; on behalf of our trustees, I would like to thank him for all he has done for carers over many years, and for the incredible contribution he has made to the development and growth of NPT Carers Service. I certainly have big shoes to fill, and I thank Dr Roberts for his guidance and support. Little did we know when we presented the last report, that the coronavirus pandemic would today still very much be part of our lives. We have all been affected in some way, however none more so than those that provide care to family and friends; I, on behalf of the Board of Trustees, would like to thank and show appreciation to the many carers in Neath Port Talbot who look after their loved ones unconditionally. You are an inspiration, and it is you that drives us to develop and improve the support that is available. We will continue to listen to and work with carers when planning and developing services. During 20/21, NPT Carers Service said goodbye to several staff, some had been with the service for many years and some a short while. The Board of Trustees would like to thank them all for their contribution and wish them well for the future. We would also like to give a warm welcome to Alison Owen, Service Manager who joined us in May and the new members of the team that have recently been recruited; we look forward to working with you. NPT Carers Service has had a year of change, opportunity, and challenge. Our staff and volunteers have had to adapt to new ways of working to meet Welsh Government requirements whilst continuing to provide help and support to carers. Thanks to all of you for everything you do. This has meant working remotely, an increased use of technology and social media and the development of innovative and creative ways to provide information, advice, and support. We developed shared online activities with Swansea Carers Centre which those carers with access to the internet thoroughly enjoyed. At the same time, we acknowledge that we need to find innovative ways of reaching those who do not use social media. The Voluntary Sector Emergency Fund from WCVA and Neath Port Talbot CVS, enabled the service to introduce a Counselling Service, Wellbeing calls and additional capacity within the sitting service, enabling us to adapt and respond quickly to the Covid-19 crisis. NPT Carers Service was delighted to work with Swansea Carers Centre and the Carers Trust to offer the Welsh Government funded Carers Support Grant for the first time. In Neath Port Talbot we helped 265 carers to access the grant, awarding a total of £64,000. We are very grateful to our third sector, private sector and statutory partners, as well as our funders, for their support during what has been a testing year; we all have the same objective: to put carers at the heart of everything we do. We know from the 2011 census there are at least 20,000 people providing care for loved ones, friends, and neighbours in our county borough. Together we need to reach as many of these as we can to ensure everyone has an opportunity to access the support available. Everyone can play a part in this so please share details of our service with anyone you think may benefit. Finally, if you would like to become a trustee of NPT Carers Service, please contact us at information@nptcarers.org.uk **Mrs Margaret Lake Chair, Board of Trustees** ## **Engagement** **Many carers experience loneliness and isolation, but the pandemic exacerbated an already difficult situation, affecting the health and wellbeing of both the carer and the cared for.** Our interactions with carers had to change, wellbeing calls were made to over 1,050 carers in the first quarter of 2020, providing information, support and guidance. We managed to undertake 3 face to face activities during December 2020 plus weekly virtual/online events happening throughout the year, including coffee mornings, quizzes, bingo, cooking, talks, arts and crafts, karaoke, singing, virtual tours and experiences. (2004). **19** VOLUNTEERS ## **OUR VOLUNTEERS** We have wonderful Volunteers who have supported carers for a number of years, and the past year has probably the biggest challenge of all, we would like to say a huge thank you to each and every one and look forward to resuming our regular sitting service in due course. ## **Statistics** **A numbers breakdown** **APPLICATIONS FOR CARERS 265 SUPPORT GRANT WORKSHOPS HELD WITH** NPT MIND 3 60 **PROFESSIONAL COUNSELLING SESSIONS** **6** 2,827 CARERS ARE REGISTERED WITH THE SERVICE Carer Couriers 7,395 **DISTRIBUTED**[3,472 ] **UNIQUE** Carer contacts **NEW** CARERS VISITS IDENTIFIED 0 **[HOME ]** 333 were undertaken due to COVID restrictions **DISTRIBUTED** **NEW** CARERS IDENTIFIED 333 **7** ## **Counselling for Carers** ## **Emergency Covid funding enabled NPT Carers Service to engage a counselling service to provide much needed support to carers.** The plan was to give either 4 wellbeing calls or 6 counselling sessions to each carer referred, however it quickly became apparent that more than 4 wellbeing calls were needed largely due to the ongoing pandemic and isolation of carers, helping them through an incredibly turbulent period with a lot of national fear, indecision, changing rules and attitudes. NPT Carers Service evolved quickly, adapting to the needs of the carers, **117** carers in the Neath Port Talbot area were referred for telephone support between May 2020 and March 2021. Carers who remained in the programme received between 4 and 30 weekly calls. Due to the time at which carers were referred not all had the opportunity to receive equal support; for example, some carers were referred in May 2020, whilst others were not referred until January 2021, therefore the number of calls received does not accurately reflect need or engagement. In terms of formal evaluation, the 14-item resilience scale (RS-14) was used. Scores below 65 indicate low resilience, scores between 65 & 81 show moderate resilience and scores above 81 are interpreted as high levels of resilience. **Simple analysis of this measure indicated that there were positive changes in carers resilience when comparing scores from the outset and at end of the calls.** This is consistent with counsellor observations from their conversations with the carers. Funding for counselling ended on 31st March 2021 which led to the service being withdrawn. However, NPT Carers Service successfully applied for further funding to the Intermediate Care Fund (ICF) to manage a “Carers Wellbeing Project” part of which is to facilitate counselling for carers and bereaved carers. ## _**“I was promised counselling by my doctor/hospital years ago, but nothing ever happened – these calls have made such a difference”**_ ## **Carers Support Grant** Funded by Welsh Government, awarded by Carers Trust Working in collaboration with Swansea Carers Centre we supported 265 carers through the application process, which helped carers to access over £ 63.6k of support to help alleviate hardship caused but the pandemic. The rising costs experienced by many during lockdown, squeezed household finances, this grant helped carers to purchase essential household items and shopping vouchers. _**“I would like to thank you all for your support and help to get the carers support grant which supplied us with a freezer and heater”**_ _**“Thank you so much for helping us to obtain a new washing machine, ours had stopped working and I was washing clothes in the bath”**_ ## **Thank you to our Funders** Neath Port Talbot Carers would also like to formally thank Swansea Bay UHB and Neath Port Talbot Council for their continued support through the financial year. **Continue to work collaboratively with the Neath Port Talbot County Borough Council, Swansea Bay University Health Board and Neath Port Talbot CVS to sustain and develop services.** **Continue to work with carers and our partners in identifying gaps in service provision and working towards to solutions.** **Continue to engage with carers on the future developments of the service.** **11** ## **INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF NEATH PORT TALBOT CARERS SERVICE LTD** ## **Independent examiner's report to the trustees of Neath Port Talbot Carers Service Ltd ('the Company')** I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Company for the year ended 31 March 2021. ## **Responsibilities and basis of report** As the charity's trustees of the Company (and also its directors for the purposes of company law) you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 ('the 2006 Act'). Having satisfied myself that the accounts of the Company are not required to be audited under Part 16 of the 2006 Act and are eligible for independent examination, I report in respect of my examination of your charity's accounts as carried out under section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 ('the 2011 Act'). In carrying out my examination I have followed the Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5) (b) of the 2011 Act. ## **Independent examiner's statement** Since your charity's gross income exceeded £250,000 your examiner must be a member of a listed body. I can confirm that I am qualified to undertake the examination because I am a registered member of Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales which is one of the listed bodies. I have completed my examination. I confirm that no matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe: 1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the Company as required by section 386 of the 2006 Act; or 2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or 3. 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 4. 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.
