## **About Us** 

Asian People’s Disability Alliance (APDA), a Deaf and Disabled People’s Organisation(DDPO) in London, UK, has been providing culturally specific support to the Asian elderly and disabled community for over 35 years. 

APDA is a non-governmental and non-denominational organisation. The organisation was established by individuals with disabilities, who brought firsthand knowledge and experience of being disabled in society and requiring care. At that time, there was minimal suitable support and little recognition of their needs. 

APDA was granted Special Consultative Status with the Economic & Social Council of the United Nations in 2007 for its work in the Disability Field. We continue to raise awareness, identify prevailing issues and report our findings on matters that affect Disabled people, Older people, Women and people from Minoritised Ethnic communities.

I am pleased to provide this year’s annual review of APDA's activities for the year 2024-25. We proudly continue to be of great benefit to disabled members of the public, and in particular our culturally tailored support services have continued to help in the mental and physical development & sustaining wellbeing of vulnerable elderly, disabled people, their Carers and their wider families. 

## **Chairperon’s Review** 


We took the opportunity with participants attending to spread awareness of the need for more inclusion and conducive environments for disabled people to thrive and grow their skills and talents, even greater accessible paths for growth and inclusion in all spheres of society. 

APDA, as a Disabled People's Organization (DDPO) was set up, managed and continues to be run by disabled people ourselves. All our services are user-led and needs-led, and always in keeping with social care developments. APDA proudly continues to be innovative and involving and supporting clients, users and carers with advice and support through difficult situations that they may face, and always ensuring the voices of disabled people count and are heard. 

We were also pleased to have celebrated International Women’s Day on 8th March 2024, alongside UN International Day for Older Persons on 5th October 2024, the theme very much aligned with the work we do, “Ageing with Dignity; The importance of strengthening care and support systems worldwide . We highlighted the importance of ensuring better investments are put into place to support the care needs of older people. It is widely accepted that populations around the world are aging for longer, life expectancy is growing year on year. We always advocate for the need to invest in good & accessible care support systems to ensure all members of our societies are looked after when they need it. 

Our staff teams have worked tirelessly through the year, with some changes in our front facing office staff through the year, but services never stopping. Our focus is always on ensuring the needs are met by our beneficiaries even through very challenging financial times. 

As always, proudly holding our special consultative status with the United Nations on Social and Economic Development, we were thrilled to celebrate the United Nations International Day of Persons with Disabilities on Tuesday 3rd December 2024. This marked event in our calendars is always such a special day for us, as people with disabilities, health conditions and impairments. As always, we celebrated the day in our unique happy, fun and colourful & culturally appropriate way. 

Our CEO will elaborate more on our strategic work and the individual section heads will detail their achievements and wonderful work done through the year. I hope you enjoy reading through our review, and understand the reach and depth of all that APDA brings. 

**With my best wishes, Pradip Shah**

## **CEO Overview of the Year** 

Welcome to our Annual review for the Year 2024 to 2025, a tiny peek into the work that we have been doing or involved with over the past 12 months. 

This year has seen continued pressures on us all with the rising costs and reduced service budgets which has greatly affected many service users, their families and our staff teams. 

This pressure across the whole of society impacts everyone in the UK, and especially more our beneficiaries who are already disabled within society, but now further pushed into poverty. With the financial constraints & energy debt hanging over many of us, the numbers of people requiring interventional support from our organisation has doubled, with each service area seeing a constant number of new referrals & signposting from third sector colleagues, local authorities & statutory agencies to our day opportunities at both centres, homecare services, advice and too often advocacy support. 

The people we have seen through our doors this year all continue to be those most disenfranchised in society requiring complex support packages for their social & health care needs to be met by our experienced staff. 

As always, it was so important for us to mark and raise awareness around the year for people affected by various 


conditions; Mental Health Awareness Week, Deaf Awareness Week, Suicide Prevention Day, Cancer Awareness, etc. 

Even with the seriousness of the economic environment, we continued to stay strong in our support offer, and ensure safe and happy environments were provided to the people we see. As a result, the year has flown by in a flurry of colour, culture, cake, culinary delights and connections. From Peace at Easter, Energy at Eid, Beautiful lights of Diwali, Sounds of Chinese New Year to the Bright bursts of Holi, we’ve packed in laughter, learning, and lots of love. 

We also ensured we provided the essential Research workshops, information sessions and vital health talks , of which were delivered at both our West and East London centre based activity sessions to keep the wide reach of the organisation. 

We are continuing our partnership with the 

6 



London Boroughs of Brent, Harrow & Tower Hamlets, helping to shape their new day opportunities, social care services and borough wide strategic planning. Staff have been busy attending Regular meetings with them to stay informed about issues and improvements within the council, during which we provide our feedback and share our current experiences to help inform their decisionmaking to be inclusive and supportive for older persons and persons disabled by society. 

Our East London funded project which holds health & well-being sessions are even more popular, with the numbers gaining year on year of the project. Providing much needed culturally appropriate exercise and movement sessions for older and marginalised women in the borough of Tower Hamlets, alongside the health information sessions and the talking safe spaces. Participants, who are women, have stated while being part of the project it gives them feelings of worth, empowered to support others in their communities, and are proud of the achievements they have made. We are grateful to Tower Hamlets for their funding for this project for the next three years. We are also grateful to Tower Hamlets Community Housing for their unwavering support and enabling us to use their community building in Bethnal Green to deliver our sessions twice a week. 

We were happy to have been able to continue providing the accessible transportation service this year to disabled and older people. This year not only providing over 7,000 pick-ups and drops to and from our Daycentre with our minibuses, we also enabled disabled 

people and their carers to visit many places in and around London & M25 areas, like Battersea Zoo, Boat trip on the Thames to the Bekonscot Model Village. Both community members and staff had the opportunity to experience that heritage enrichment of the areas in and around London which have not been accessible to them without our support. We continue to advocate for the need for more socially inclusive outings and the accessible transport needed to facilitate and enable more disabled people to access places of interest and cultural heritage and break their cycle of social isolation. 

## **Home Respite and Personal Care services** 

We have supported more users than expected this year in our bespoke and unique culturally tailored service for people in their homes. Our services continues to be reflective of our ethos; quality over quantity for better person-centred care. We focus what we can do to help make their lives a little bit easier and better from interaction with our staff team. We know that people have been struggling with caring for their loved ones as a result of the impact of the Covid Pandemic after affects. This we know has created an increase in referrals this year shows us that families are now at breaking point themselves. This is why our homecare provision continues to stand head & shoulders above the regular domiciliary services due to our clear and consistent approach to providing good quality care, not based on minutes of delivery but on ensuring the needs of the service user & families comes first. We deliver our care not on a profit model, but as a holistic support needed to enrich the quality of life and improve people's overall health and wellbeing. 

7 



APDA's Homecare staff team also continues to grow, with each member of our team safely delivering quality services in the year. Our team leader has ensured any new staff are and existing staff remain fully trained and aware of their obligations for personal protection, understanding care plans & risk assessments for each service user to ensure our users remain safe and protected whilst delivering our high quality level service. 

Our unique & flexible service proudly enables the family carers that need respite and gives them peace of mind for the quality of personal care and purposeful 'befriending' support that we provide to their loved ones, elderly and disabled family member in their homes. Our bespoke and culturally tailored provision focuses on the support needed by disabled people need during these difficult times, especially those later in life who have a difficult time coming to terms with the limitations in their cognitive or physical abilities. 

We continue to gather feedback from our service users every quarter, and this allows us to focus on improvements or give praise to staff on their good work. We ensure we deliver a matching-up service for users to carers, based on their holistic needs. This very much helps to create a unique experience for each user, with the minimal change in carers wherever possible to reduce the possibility of confusion, cross contamination. This also maintains good infection control measures and always enabling trust and understanding to be established. We always advocate the importance of maintaining the dignity and respect of  each of our users when they are at their 

most vulnerable in life. This minimal change in carers also ensures that the staff and service users are able to build a strong, stable relationship and gain respect between them, as it is very important to us to ensure the service user's best interest and choice is at the heart of our services. 

We look forward to the challenges for the year ahead with an anticipated increase and unprecedented levels of more older & disabled people needing personal and social care support from our Homecare staff team. 

## **Advocacy and Advice Services** 

This year’s demand on our services has been evident why it is important for APDA to continue providing our AQS certification standards for Advice services. 

The numbers referred to us or self-referrals for advice, information and advocacy has trebled this year due to the cost pressures ripple effect within Social care, and of course the fuel poverty being imposed on people in the UK with the changes to standing charges and energy bills. Our much valued add-on service has been continuing to support more people within London on a wide range of issues and enquiries onm a weekly basis. 

We continued to fund the provision of the digital platform on our website for an accessible and automated advice support service which aids a formal letter to be produced to challenge incorrect decisions made about health and social care. 

This is a service provided with the assistance of Access to Social Care who 

8 



manage and monitor the online platform. This ensures a more tailored detailed advice letter can be created through the support that can be accessed at any time via our Website chatbot named Rashmi. 

## **Development** 

The demand for our organisation to input into making spaces and services more accessible has grown. Our experience and valuable insight into the barriers faced by Disabled people with Intersectional Social identities is appreciated and the demand for our input has grown this year. We continue to input into social Inequalities research and campaigns as this is vital to ensuring more equitable outcomes for those facing social disparities in health, transportation, education and employment. 

We worked with a number of national and regional bodies to improve the accessibility of buildings, transport, systems of working and health services, to include TFL Buses, Banking institutions, GLA and racial justice organisations like Race Equality Foundation. 

We have also been busy supporting our peers to obtain grants, trust funding, government & education funding in order that there is adequate investment into identifying why and how people are facing health inequalities. As a result of the successful interventions, we are ensuring the voices of Asian disabled people are heard and understood through our input and contribution into these various studies, workshops and research papers. 

We are excited that this year marked the start of developing of new peer led, 

community led mental health services based and provided within local communities in the Heart of Tower Hamlets. We are in development stages and will be sharing more news as we develop this innovative services in the year to come. 

As part of our international development work and our remit as an organisation holding Special consultative status, we were pleased to have continued campaigning and advocating on the impact that the changes to the social security support to disabled and older people would have. We have been raising the issue of the levels of poverty experienced by disabled people and the greater depths of poverty and difficulties that are now being faced with changes to legislation and entitlements. 

We continue to provide Peer support to organisations in the global south and provide advice and support to equip them with the tools to self-advocate. 

The service staff team will be reporting their individual overview of their service area year’s activities in the pages to come, with lots of wonderful pictures of the work being delivered by our brilliant staff teams. 

I will end my report this year on a positive note as we look forward to a more innovative and productive year to come, with all the delights that come with a unique grassroots DDPO that we are. 


**Best wishes, Zeenat**

## **Daycare Activities and Celebrations** 

We are pleased to report that the period from 2024 to 2025 was marked by significant achievements and an active programme delivery at Asian People’s Disability Alliance (APDA), always positively benefiting our service users. Our activities, events, and programmes were inclusive and diverse, contributing positively to the mental and physical wellbeing of our service users. These initiatives were conducted both within our accessible, safe, and socially engaging Centre in Harlesden, North West London, and through community engagement efforts in East London and Brent. Through these actions, we advanced our core values—reducing social isolation, fostering care, building friendships, and strengthening support networks. We prioritised delivering a variety of activities designed to enhance the lives of service users, while also providing essential respite opportunities for families and carers. 

Weekly activities include Yoga with staff and therapist Krupa, singing sessions with our music therapist Narayan, traditional and modern Indian/Bollywood dance therapist Binal, choreographed dance and movement sessions with Georgia from Step Change Studios and staff running exercise routines, arts and crafts, quizzes and chat and chai sessions.

## **Sports Events** 

The summer season began with great anticipation at the **Vallance Sports Day** held at Mile End, East London where service users enthusiastically participated in a range of sports activities. The day was filled with laughter, friendly competition, and a strong sense of teamwork. Later in the summer, we organised and took part in the **Brent Sports Day** at John Billam Centre. This community event brought together Disability Daycare Centres from across the Brent area, and our clients showcased their competitive spirit, proudly winning medals and trophies. 

## **Special Visits and Partnerships** 

We were delighted to host the British Museum as part of a South Asian heritage project. The Curators and Diversity team led several interactive sensory sessions featuring traditional artefacts, scents, and textures of the Indian culture to bring about special sensory bags as part of their new exhibition at the museum. Service users & Staff will be invited to attend the final exhibition in the Summer of 2025 when it opens to the public. 

Our long standing collaboration with University College London (UCL) brought a new batch of first-year medical students to our centre for community placements, where they gained valuable insights into the challenges faced by disabled people. 

## **Welcoming New Service Users** 









We were pleased to welcome several new service users to the APDA family. These individuals joined us for a range of reasons—from seeking social engagement to prevent isolation, to managing mental and physical health conditions. Our data shows a balanced group, with 40% male and 60% female representation. All new members settled in quickly, integrating into our activities within just a couple of weeks.

## **Staff Training** 

Our daycare, homecare & office staff were provided 2 days training sessions to refresh knowledge and skills in Emergency 1st Aid. Our staff team also completed the mandatory Fire Marshall Training at the workplace. A very interactive session with a fire Marshall rota developed to ensure that fire equipment, exits and alarms are checked each day. 

These trainings are important to ensuring APDA staff remain fully confident to provide first aid and act as lead fire Marshall in the event of a fire incident or accident at work. Daycare Support staff were also provided refresher passenger assistance training (PAT) to enhance their knowledge and skills in new methods of support for service users on the accessible transport we provide for community members to access our services.

## **Homecare** 

**Introduction from the Homecare Leader Tamina  Aslam** 

I was welcomed into the organisation in the later part of May 2024. My background was not in the care industry; however, I have lived experience having raised two Autistic children of my own and navigating this all with having a visual disability myself. I am extremely grateful for the opportunity provided by APDA and am hopeful I have contributed to the role. All the staff at APDA have been positively supportive. I have adapted to the requirements over time, and the care staff have been lovely to work with. Overall, the year has been a learning experience and have gained valuable knowledge that has supported me in improving the service I provide. I am proud of the feedback from clients thus far. 

## **Testimonies** 


"Tamina has been incredibly helpful in organising my mum’s homecare arrangements — whether it’s personal care or sitting services. She always responds quickly to any issues or change requests and makes the whole process so much easier. I really appreciate her support and efficiency." 

“I have known Tamina for a long time. She is very proactive, polite a very patient and enthusiastic person. She takes all our requests and concerns on board and resolves them in the best possible way. It’s a great pleasure to know her as a person. She works late hours as well and always very helping in emergency situations at odd hours. 

She is a great asset to APDA. 

I am sure all the staff and clients would echo me.” 


## **Statistics** 

I have successfully onboarded six new clients and supported in facilitating four package increases in this period, providing an increase of 253.75 hours per month a 121% uplift. 


We are proud to say that our dedicated team of caregivers continues to grow and thrive. From the start of the year to the end of the year, we have welcomed new staff on board and as always appreciated the hard work and dedication of each member of our workforce in providing compassionate care to our clients. Rest assured, we are continuously working to ensure that our staff are equipped with 

15 



knowledge, training and resources to deliver the highest quality of care. Our carers delivered the much-needed personal care, feeding, cooking and domestic support. Keeping to Cultural, Religious and Dietary sensitivities with respect and dignity. Along with the constant supervision and one-to-one sessions for in-depth educational sessions to deliver the highest quality of care matching with the needs of our clients. 

Our clients also enjoy the experience of the outdoors and our carers provide much needed respite for the family carers by supporting the clients with Safety being a 



priority for us and the families, our carers take great pride in ensuring their clients enjoy their experience while with freedom. 

## **Completed Trainings and New staff** 

We are pleased to inform you that our staff have successfully completed refresher and new starter training programs, further strengthening their expertise and skills in providing comprehensive homecare services. Their dedication to professional development ensures that they remain at the forefront of industry standards and best practices. We are happy to announce we have 3 fully trained new staff and 3 returning experienced and trusted staff to 

support an addition of 10 new clients from our community and some further out.

## **Outreach Project in Tower Hamlets East London** 

We are delighted to present an update on our ongoing twice weekly sessions within the Tower Hamlets Funded “Can you See Us” East London Project, with a particular highlight on the new Bollywood Dance and Movement Therapy classes. These energetic sessions took place every Wednesday throughout January, February, and April, offering participants the opportunity to learn lively dance routines and engage in physical activities that brought great enjoyment to all. There was a scheduled break in these sessions during the Holy Month of Ramadan, allowing women to observe this special period. After Eid, the group returned to the classes, once again filling the room with energy, laughter, and smiles. 

Our arts and crafts sessions have also remained a firm favourite, with participants taking part in sewing and creating beautiful pieces to share with friends, family, and each other and learning new skills. 





## **Celebrations** 

One of the highlights of the year was celebrating Eid-al-Fitr after Ramadan. This year we were delighted to attend an Eid Party hosted by Tower Hamlets Community Housing (THCH), which was a joyful event filled with great people, food and entertainment. 




Our Diwali celebrations, where the ladies of our community enthusiastically crafted beautiful decorations, adding a personal touch of joy, warmth, and togetherness to the centre. The festive season continued as we joyously marked Christmas, with the ladies once again showcasing their creativity in making stunning decorations, filling the centre with holiday cheer and a sense of community.

We celebrated International Women’s Day at our all women focused activity centre, each coming from diverse backgrounds we embraced this day with activities celebrating women of all cultures. Each participant brought a dish to share from their country, contributing to a communal meal reflective of heritage from various countries of the world’s. 


We also celebrated the special International Day of Persons with Disabilities on the 4th of December, honouring the resilience and contributions of persons with disabilities within our community. The event was a beautiful reminder of the importance of inclusivity and accessibility. 




## **Community Outings and Engagement** 

The service users took part in outings and built new experiences together within their local communities and outside with a trip to Victoria Park for coffee, giving them the chance to relax, socialise, and enjoy some time outdoors. A trip to Southend-on-Sea in the summer provided a much-needed escape, offering an unforgettable day filled with laughter and fun for all our attendees. 



Through collaboration with the NHS, we welcomed a Good Moves course leader who shared valuable information about a health-related course designed to support the well-being of our clients. We were also thrilled to welcome local GPs from Tower Hamlets, who generously shared essential health and wellbeing advice. Their presence highlighted the incredible support available in our area, making a significant impact on our community’s health consciousness. 

We were deeply appreciative of the continued support that enabled us to provide the safe environment which empowers local women and enhance their quality of life. Together, we build a brighter future—one step, one activity, and one smile at a time.

Additionally, we took part in several policy research forums and workshops. We are collaborating on a number of projects aimed at improving structures for disabled, marginalised and elderly people which can lead to meaningful changes in society, fostering inclusivity and support. Below are a list of projects and workshops we have and continue taking part of. 

APDA attended many VCSE forums/ meetings to enable us to connect with the latest developments and opportunities from the local voluntary and community organisations and to share information on our activities with visitors. 

We partnered up with **EW Group and Transport for London (TFL)** on the design and delivery of Equality, Diversity, and Inclusion training for Bus drivers and their non-driving colleagues. The training aimed at non-driving staff consisted of a combination of classroom training and accompanied journeys on the London bus network. The aim of those journeys, guided by Lived experts /Service Users (referred to in this project as Facilitators), was for nondriving staff to understand and experience the challenges and barriers experienced by diverse customers when using the bus network in London. The project really creative and enabling for providers to give better bus services to Disabled members of the public. 



This year, we were pleased to take part in the **NHS Roundtable** discussion on race and health inequalities, joined by the Secretary of State of Health and Social Care Wes Streeting MP and attended by Kweku on behalf of APDA. The 10-Year NHS Health Plan marks just the beginning of this important journey. APDA are excited to hear and be part of ongoing dialogue as the plan transitions into implementation. APDA’s insights, expertise, and lived experiences are vital in transforming positive commitments into tangible progress for the diverse communities we support. We look forward to continuing this collaboration to drive meaningful change and ensure a healthcare system that is fair and inclusive for all. 

We are delighted to introduce a latest initiative being developed this year—the Barnsley Street Project. This collaborative effort brings together the East London Foundation Trust (ELFT), Tower Hamlets Mental Health Alliance (THMHA) which APDA is actively part of, and the Look Ahead Housing Association. Guided by the voices of lived experience, this project aims to bridge systemic gaps in mental health services, with a strong focus on supporting 

19 



marginalised communities. Our involvement in this project is essential, as APDA is committed to providing culturally sensitive services that reduce isolation and enhance mental well-being for marginalised ethnic communities. By incorporating Asian traditions, family dynamics, language, dietary needs, and religious practices, we ensure comprehensive and inclusive support. This approach is crucial in delivering the right care to individuals facing mental health challenges & barriers. This is something we are so excited about, and the soft launch for delivery is scheduled for May 25. 


We are excited to announce that we are participating in the **Race Equality Foundation Design group to help develop an anti- racist and inclusive good homes** . **hub model for the Centre of Ageing Better** This important project aims to ensure home improvements services are accessible, beneficial and equitable for all communities, especially Black, Asian and minoritised ethnic individuals ages 65 and above. By working closely with voluntary, faith and community organisations as well as statutory groups, the project will gain crucial insights into the challenges and disparities these communities face in accessing and utilising home improvements services across the UK. APDA is inputting towards the goal to codesign an anti-racist Good Home Hubs that addresses these issues. As a valued member of the Design Group, APDA will play a key role in shaping the project’s 

direction, reviewing findings, identifying gaps and providing expert recommendations to make this a progressive service a reality. Together with the Race Equality Foundation and Centre for Ageing Better, APDA is committed to dismantling the barriers and inequalities that have existed. This is a pivotal opportunity to transform housing services and make a lasting, positive impact. 

This year saw us also being introduced to **Three Hands** Insights, a unique research organisation working with large organisations and companies who are looking to make their services and products more accessible for Disabled members of the public. We have joined working group of DDPOs working with Three Hands, in reviewing different product offerings of a Banking institution. We are thrilled to be starting this project where we review different products and have suggest ways to make those products more accessible to disabled and older people. The Inclusive Design Panel project is on-going, and we will continue to involve more lived experts to make valuable contributions in improving banking services.

This pressure across the whole of s(Kiety impacts everyone in the UL and especially more our b¢n¢ficiaries who are

We were happy to have been able to continue providing the accessible transportation gervice this year to disabled and
older people. This y¢ar noi only providing over 7,000 pick-ups and drops to and from our Daycentre with our minThi uses,
we also enabled disabled people and their carers to visit many pla¢es in and around L<Jndon & M25 areas, like Batteriea
Zoo, Boat trip on the Thames to the Bekonscot Model Village. Both community membcr5 and staff hAd the opportunity
to experience that heritage enrichment of the arvds in around London which have not becn a¢¢¢s$ible io them

We focus what we can do to help make their lives a little bit easier and better from interaction with our staff team. We
know that people have been sttvggling with ¢aring for their loved ones as a result of the impact of the Covid Pandemi
fter affects. This we know has cr￿ted an increase in referrals thi5 year shows us that families are now at breaking point
themselves. This is why our hornecare provision continucs to stand head & shoulders above the regular domiciliary
services due to our clear and consistent approach to providing good quality care, not based on minut¢s of delivery but on
ensuring ihc needs of the service user & families cornes first. Wc deliver our care not on a profit model. but as a holisti
support ne¢d¢d to enrich the quality of life and improve people's overall health and wellbeing.
APDA'S Homecare staff team also continues to grow. with each member of our team safely delivering quality services in

remain safe and protected whilst delivering our high-quality leyel service.
Our unique & flexible service pmudly enables the family carers that need respite and gives th¢rn ￿a¢C of mind for the
quality of personal care and purposeful 'befriendinLJ' support that we provide to their loved ones, elderly and disabled
family member in their homes. Our bespoke and culturally tailored provision fo¢uses the support needed by disabled
people n¢ed during these difficult times, especially those later in lif¢ who have a difficult tim¢ ¢otning to terms wlth the
limitaiions in their cognitive or physical abilities.
We continue to gather feedback from our s¢rvi¢¢ users every quarter. and this allows us to focus on improvements or
give prdise to staff on their good work. We ensure we deliver a matching-up service for users to carers, based on their
holistic needs. This very much helps io create a unique experience for each user, with the minimal change in carers
wherever possible to reduce the possibility of con￿s1on, cn)ss contamination. This also maintains good infeciion control
Tn¢asur¢s and always enabling trust and understanding to be established. We always advocate the irnportance of
mainlaining the dignity and respect of each of our users when th¢y are at ihcir most vulnerable in life. This Tninimal
change in carers also ensures that the staff and setvice users are able to build a stron& stable relationship and gain
Tespect between them, as it is very important to ￿ to ensure the service usefs best interest and choice is at the heart of
our seNices.
We look forward to the challertges for the year thead with an anticipated increase and unpreceikn*d levels of more

This pressure across the whole of s(Kiety impacts everyone in the UL and especially more our b¢n¢ficiaries who are

We were happy to have been able to continue providing the accessible transportation gervice this year to disabled and
older people. This y¢ar noi only providing over 7,000 pick-ups and drops to and from our Daycentre with our minThi uses,
we also enabled disabled people and their carers to visit many pla¢es in and around L<Jndon & M25 areas, like Batteriea
Zoo, Boat trip on the Thames to the Bekonscot Model Village. Both community membcr5 and staff hAd the opportunity
to experience that heritage enrichment of the arvds in around London which have not becn a¢¢¢s$ible io them
without our support. We conlinue to advocate for the need for more socially inclusive outings and the accc5sibl¢
traD5PQrt De¢ded to facilitate and enable rnor¢ disabled p¢opl¢ to acces% places of interest and cultural heritage and break
their cycle of social isolation.
Home R¢ypite and Personal Care servlc¢s
We h&ve supported more llserg than cxpccted this year in our bespoke and unique culturally tailored 3¢rvi¢e for people
their homes. Our scrvices continues to be reflective of our ethos, quality over 4118ntity for better person-centr¢d care.
We focus what we can do to help make their lives a little bit easier and better from interaction with our staff team. We
know that people have been sttvggling with ¢aring for their loved ones as a result of the impact of the Covid Pandemi
fter affects. This we know has cr￿ted an increase in referrals thi5 year shows us that families are now at breaking point
themselves. This is why our hornecare provision continucs to stand head & shoulders above the regular domiciliary
services due to our clear and consistent approach to providing good quality care, not based on minut¢s of delivery but on
ensuring ihc needs of the service user & families cornes first. Wc deliver our care not on a profit model. but as a holisti
support ne¢d¢d to enrich the quality of life and improve people's overall health and wellbeing.
APDA'S Homecare staff team also continues to grow. with each member of our team safely delivering quality services in

obligations for per50n31 protectton, understanding care plans & risk assessments for each setvice user to ensure our users
remain safe and protected whilst delivering our high-quality leyel service.
Our unique & flexible service pmudly enables the family carers that need respite and gives th¢rn ￿a¢C of mind for the
quality of personal care and purposeful 'befriendinLJ' support that we provide to their loved ones, elderly and disabled
family member in their homes. Our bespoke and culturally tailored provision fo¢uses the support needed by disabled
people n¢ed during these difficult times, especially those later in lif¢ who have a difficult tim¢ ¢otning to terms wlth the
limitaiions in their cognitive or physical abilities.
We continue to gather feedback from our s¢rvi¢¢ users every quarter. and this allows us to focus on improvements or
give prdise to staff on their good work. We ensure we deliver a matching-up service for users to carers, based on their
holistic needs. This very much helps io create a unique experience for each user, with the minimal change in carers
wherever possible to reduce the possibility of con￿s1on, cn)ss contamination. This also maintains good infeciion control
Tn¢asur¢s and always enabling trust and understanding to be established. We always advocate the irnportance of
mainlaining the dignity and respect of each of our users when th¢y are at ihcir most vulnerable in life. This Tninimal
change in carers also ensures that the staff and setvice users are able to build a stron& stable relationship and gain
Tespect between them, as it is very important to ￿ to ensure the service usefs best interest and choice is at the heart of
our seNices.
We look forward to the challertges for the year thead with an anticipated increase and unpreceikn*d levels of more
