INTRODUCTION
Objects: CARESCO'S objectives are: "To advance any charitable purposes for the benefit of the
community of Sawtry and satellite villages, in the county of Cambridgeshire, and in particular the
reliefofpersons in need withln the area of benefit.
To identify welfare needs of individuals and groups in 5awtry and its satellife villages, devising
means to meet those needs, with the help of volunteers, and to enlist the backing and co-operation
of the statutory services, existing voluntary organisations and any other medium."
Taken from CARESCO'S Articles of Association
SocialAims: To improve the lives of local people, in particular focusing on early intervention by
providing a range of social activities and encouraging participation. CARESCO also aims to
encourage social cohesion through supporting local people in a time of crisis and facilitating
communication, while offering others an opportunity to concentrate their energy and effort into
the community in a positive manner by volunteering.
Activities: Following the lockdown over Christmas 2020, as Covid-19 infection rates dropped,
government restrictions were eased in the spring / summer of 2021 and gratefully our activities
slowly reopened. Allowances were made for those who still felt uncomfortable with socialising,
with hand hygiene and face coverings encouraged, however it Was clear that the risks of infection
by meeting in-person were lower than the risks to the mental health and wellbeing for many. A lot
of our service users and volunteers alike had found the lockdowns particularly challenging.
The Covid Response service, set up in 2020 to support local people isolating from the pandem ic has
morphed into a more permanent team. Now known as the CARESCO Community Suppor¢ and
co-ordinated by a volunteer, the team continue to offer prescription deliveries and small local
shopping trips.
Demand for support from the food bank service eased off, though the Summer and Christmas
schemes remained busy. The team continued to deliver parcels and moved their referral process
online for external agencies.
The social groups and Christmas Day team were grateful to be back in-person, though some guests
still had their Christmas lunch delivered due to ill health. Being together is a vital part of the
experience and food more enjoyable with good company.
The car scheme has struggled to balance volunteer numbers against demand, made worse by the
significant rise in the cost of fuel compared to the legal limit to the mileage rate that can be claimed
from passengers to cover expenses.
Our workshop-based activity finally saw the completion of the refurbishment in their space which
allowed them to r&open fully and enjoy their new facilities, including toilets and kitchenette.
With the easing of restrictions also came the welcomed reopening of our income-generating
activities including the charity shop, weekly café and fundraising events, coinciding helpfully with
the reduction in pandemic-related grants.
After 37 years our Alconbury Thursday Club finally closed its doors in June 2021 to make way for a
new more locally run independent club in the same venue. The manager was able to move across
to the day care provision held in Sawtry as a long standing team member retired.
All our activities are co-ordinated by a small team of paid part-time staff, supported by a large
number of volunteers. We aim to ensure thal the sole qualification for volunteer recruitment shall
be the suitability to perform the required task We welcome service users from within our
geographical area regardless of background, gender, or faith. The only reslriction being our ability
to meet their care needs. Most of our activities charge a modest fee for allendance to help with
running costs while aiming to ensure no one is excluded by price.
CARESCOAnnual Report2021-22

Public Benefit: Throughout the year the CARESCO trustees have continued to have regard to
the guidance issued by the Charity Commission on public benefit when reviewing aims and
objectives and in planning future activities.
CARESCO works to bring local residents together through a wide range of activities and interests.
By encouraging people to engage and socialise, friendships are formed, people find a productive
use of their time and our community grows stronger. Many individuals, by being involved as
service users or volunteers, maintain their independence for longer than would otherwise be the
case and thereby prevent or delay a need for more intensive levels of care.
In addition, CARESCO also runs trading activities: a weekly cafe and a charity shop, which while also
providing a service are social enterprises with any profit reinvested back into the organisation.
The impact of being involved on people's well being and mental health is immeasurable, especially
during the uncertainty brought on by the pandemic. CARESCO has worked to include everyone in
the community who has expressed an interest in being part of the charity, or using one or more of
the activities.. For example, this can be a volunteer having a chat on the doorstep while dropping
off a prescription to baking a cake for family carers to enjoy while attending their support group.
To improve accountability and governance, the trustees have embarked on a full review of all
policies on file to ensure the necessary guidance are in place and up to date.
CHAIRMAN, S REPORT
A much-improved year compared to last year! Although we are still taking
precautions against Covid, life at CARESCO has pretty much returned to
normal. Thank goodness.
CARESCO still has the community within Sawtry and the surrounding villages
firmly in our hearts. We strive to do our very best for all concerned. This
includes our volunteers, our service users and of course, our staff.
One minor step for us can make a big positive difference to somebody's life.
Whether it's a chat at the Charity Shop, cake at the Coffee Shop, fun at the
Green End Day Club, banter at the Cave, support at Chatterbox or much needed help from the
Foodbank; we are there for YOU.
CARESCO continues to develop with you all in mind. A huge amount of hard work goes on behind
the scenes. If you think you could help us by being a volunteer, please come and see usl There are
volunteering opportunities for all. Hard work at times,. yes, but very rewarding.
I would like to take this opportunity to say a massive thank you to our superb team of volunteers,,
those who give up their time happily to help others. Of course, these sincere thanks also extend to
our great team of staff. We are all be proud to be part ofCARESCO.
As Sawtry continues to grow, we must spread the word about what we can do for people, and what
they can do for us. We can post on social media, advertise in the Sawtry Eye and get the local
papers involved but, in my experience, the best advert for CARESCO comes from us,. word of mouth.
The more we spread the word, the grearer our coverage will be. So, if something is making you
happy at CARESCO, then please share it with your friends and family and anyone else who will
listenl
In a world where there are so many dark places, CARESCO is always there to hold the torch. We
need to continue to shine and do our best to make a difference.
Thankyou again. Be happy and keep safe.

TREASURER, S REPORT
Following on from what was possibly the most challenging year since
CARESCO began, this financial year has been a time of recovery and
restructuring, as well as planning for the future.
Our income from Club attendance fees, Charity Shop and Man Cave sales and
fundraising events has gradually increased over the last 12 months, but
generally figures are still lower than average compared to pre-pandemic
times. With the cost of living predicted to continue rising, we are always looking into alternative
sources of funding to help bolster our income as purse strings are inevitably tightened.
Having been very fortunate in securing significant amounts of grant funding during the pandemic,
we have learned that this is a very valuable resource to help with our ongoing costs, and it is
becoming more of a focus in our fundraising efforts. We are also continuing to explore the arena of
corporate fundraising and building relationships with local businesses.
My thanks to the members of the Finance Committee, as well as the many CARESCO staff and
volunteers who have helped to keep things running smoothly throughout the year. I would also
like to say how incredibly grateful we are to the generous members of our community who have
continued to support us. Whether by attending our fundraising events, making donations of items
or money, volunteering your valuable time, or the many other ways that help to keep CARESCO
ticking along, we simply couldn't do it without you.
Heather Bohonis
FINANCIAL STATEMENT
The examined financial statement for the year April 2021 to March 2022 is published as a separate
document and is available on request.
Our thanks to our Independent Examiner, Lisa Watson and also to our Accounts team, Manager
Marina Joyce and her Deputy Donna Green, for all their hard work day-to-day to ensure that the
financial records are kept up to date.
FINANCIAL RESERVES
Reserves are that part of a charity's unrestricted funds that are freely available to spend on any of
the charitys purposes. This excludes restricted income funds and tangible fixed assets held for the
charitys use and amounts designated for essential spending.
Having considered all the facts and information available in 2022 according to the current
economic climate and the predictions of a worldwide recession, the Trustees concluded that the
charity should hold a level of reserves sufficieni io fund the organisation in a period of unforeseen
difficulties for six months. They believed that this was a suitable length of time for them to consider
the options and to find a solution to the difficuliies.
In addition to the above, the current building from which CARESCO conducts its main actlvlties has
been assessed as having a limited lifespan. There is an expectation of a future need for either
repairs to the existing building or the purchase or construction of a new building. Therefore, a
Building Fund Reserve is being accumulaled toward this goal in preparation for this eventuality.
CARESCOAnnual Report2021-22

GENERAL MANAGER. S REPORT
Since Spring/Summer 2021 we have seen a lot of change for CARESCO. We had to navigate our way
out of more government guidelines and restrictions, coming back from closures and have now
reopened each one of our services and activities. That has put us back to 12 d ifferent activities.
We have seen some changes in our staffing team. Hugh Spencer has left
his role as Man Cave Supervisor and Terry Clifton-Attfield joined the team.
Unfortunately, Terry decided to move onto a new challenge in the Autumn
of 2021 so in November we welcomed Shaun Pollock to the staff team as
our Man Cave Supervisor.
Shaun has slotted in to the workshop
environment extremely well and is full of ideas and enthusiasm for all
things workshop related.
We have also increased the staffing levels of the GEDC team on a Monday
to bring the day in line with the rest of the week. Finally, since August we
have temporarily increased the cleaning provision at the CARESCO Centre
to accommodate all the extra cleaning that is still necessary as a result of
the pandemic. Our cleaner Sandra Morgan agreed to take on these additional hours.
Our close connections with our local Community Voluntary Service, Hunts Forum and how we were
represented as one of their Recognised Organisations throughout the pandemic have provided
extra strength and stability to CARESCO. Something I was keen to develop further. In September
we began the application process for their 'Good To Go, Mark, This is their new accreditation
scheme which will supersede the current one and following the submission of our forms, policies
and procedures and an interview with an appointed panel, this Good Practice accreditation was
awarded to us in March 2022. This mark ensures that organisations are well run with a good level of
internal governance, financial control, management and data protection.
The CARESCO Newsletterfs first issue was sent out in October. Not only do we share this with all our
volunteers and service users now, but we decided to cascade this on a wider platform to people in
our local community who may benefit from a regular CARESCO update. These include Parish
Councillors, Hunts Forum, representatives from the local Churches, the head teachers at the local
schools and Wellside Surgery as well as many of our contacts at Huntingdonshire District Council
IHDCI. The feedback from these representatives has been extremely posltive. Networking has
remained a prominent focus over the last 12 months. l firmly believe in the importance of not only
getting our message across to influencers but also listening and learning as to what is happening
around us.
An example of the importance of building relationships came in August when the trustees, myself
and representatives from Sawtry Parish Council ISPCI had a meeting at the CARESCO Centre to
inform the Councillors of the impact the pandemic has had on our charity, the work we are doing at
the moment and also our goals for the future.
In March, I met with Claudia Deeth and Oliver Morley from HDC. We have been extended an
invitation to their fortnightly meetings with some of the other charitable organisations in the area.
These Community Co-ordinator meetings will be a great platform to not only hear what is
happening i n the District as a whole but will allow us the opportunity to feed directly into HDC our
thoughts, concerns and ideas. Both Claudia and Oliver recognise that CARESCO is a key hub for our
caichment proving that our work has been recogn ised at a higher level. Both guests were singing
our praises ofthe work we do and are keen to keep our voices heard in much bigger clrcles.
In December, we were fortunate 10 receive a visit from Mr lain Forsythe Deputy Lieutenant of
Cambridgeshire, following an application that was submitted for CARESCO to be nominated for the
Queen's Award for Vol untary Service. The visit allowed time for Mr Forsythe to get a real sense of
what CARESCO is all about, and after a lengthy interview with myself and four of our Trustees, we
were able to do a tour of all the CARESCO facilities. He was particularly impressed with the
CARESCOAnnual Report2021-22

excitement and enthusiasm that everyone involved has and following his visit, was tasked with
writing 400 words to sum CARESCO up and capture a snapshot of our achievements to
complement our application. Following an email in early January, he confirmed our application has
officially been submitted. Thank you to everyone that was involved in this visit, on a personal note,
I was extremely proud of how it went and we definitely showed the very best of what we do. Many
of our volunteers and service users, in conversation, told their story of why they are part of
CARESCO which added a real personal and real-life element to the day. We will not hear the
outcome until early Summer 2022.
As we approach the end of the financial year, March is always a month of reflection for the staff and
l. Looking back on what was achieved in the last 12 months, as well as forward planning for the
next. Recognising the collective effort of our entire CARESCO community which have helped us to
not only develop and grow the services we provide, but also to firm up the foundations too.
202112022 has been a hugely successful year.

CARESCO VOLUNTEERS
We celebrated Volunteer Week at the beginning of June. This year we
marked this national celebration slightly differently, however I hope it had
just as much impact as in
previous years. The staff and I
put a lot of groundwork in to
details and were able to pull together a centrefold in
the June/July 2021 issue of the Sawtry Eye ded icated
to our vo1 unteers. This included messages of thanks
from various team members, an interview from one
of our longest serving volunteers and lots of facts
and figures scattered throughout the four pages. We
used a multi-marketing platform to mirror our
messages of thanks on our website and social media
too. Each volunteer also personally received a
handwritten card of thanks.
Later in June, I took part in the Hunts Forum Connection Communities webinars. The three-day
conference explored the big questions of volunteer management in a post-lockdown world. The
first was entitled Redesign ing Recruitment, then Reviewing Retention and the final webinar was
titled Re-examining Volunteering. I have no doubt that the information provided in these webinars
will be something we can draw upon to help us grow the way we work with our volunteers for
many years to come.
Each year it is important to highlight gaps in our volunteering provision and develop strategies to
bring in new roles. An example of this is a new team of volunteer bakers who are keen to provide
regular cakes and bakes for our groups like Chatterbox, Sounds Good and also our weekly Coffee
Shop. This was established in September. Focussing on Ihe cc
ordinaior roles, particularly for Sounds Good and the Covid Response
provision was also a priority this year. Both of these key projecis have
benefitted and been strengthened by their new volunteer ciiordinators.
At the end of December 2021, our total number of active volunteers
across the whole organisation was 141. The table shows the growth in
new volunteers joining CARESCO over the last four calendar years.
A 'New Year, New Challenge, challenge was launched in early January.

ALCONBURY THURSDAY CLUB
CARESCO'S Thursday Club based in Alconbury was opened on I st March 1984
in the then new Sports Pavilion on the edge of Alconbury (Alconbury Sports
and Social Clubl.
Originally established in response to interest from a number of local residents
already attending the Wednesday Day Centre (later known as Green End Day Clubl in Sawtry, Club
members came to enjoy friendship, conversation, a freshly cooked hot meal, games, entertainment,
gentle exercises and the occasional outing.
A recently retired lady Joyce Freeman, who had previous experience running a day centre for elderly
and disabled people in Coventry, had conveniently just moved to the area and was recruited to
manage the new Club. Joyce quickly built up a strong team of volunteers including drivers and a
cook who together provided a day out for local elderly residents from the Alconburys and
surrounding villages,
Although the Thursday Club did not meet in the CARESCO Centre, they were still very much part of
CARESCO and received their support through the main organisation as d id the other activities.
For 37 years the Thursday Club served residents from the Alconburys and surrounding villages, and
was staffed by people from those villages. Following discussions with the existing team of
volunteers, in June 2021 CARESCO'S Alconbury Thursday Club was formally closed making way for a
new independent club called the Alconbury cum Weston Thursday Club which is run by an
Alconbury-based team. The remaining ATC ring-fenced funds were transferred to the new
committee and any outstanding grant from CCC was repaid to the County Council.

We finally reopened our club doors in April 2021 after the lockdown and as national restrictions
were eased, we were also able to lift our restrictions within the Club. Our mefflbers were very slow
and steady on returning to begin with, but soon many of them decided to add extra days and now
most attend more than one day a week
CARESCOAnnual Report2021-22

We have had 20 new members join our Club since we reopened
and we have lost six due to different circumstances. Our
membership is 36 and we average I S members a day as of March
2022.
We are once again able to take our members out for meals which
is something we have all greatly missed. We had a lovely meal
out at Christmas and have already been out once in 2022 too.
We have also had Twink back with us to make crafts with our
members. They all made some beautiful decorations for our
Christmas tree for the All Saints, Tree Festival. Jane from Love To
Move is now back with us once a fortnight and the members are
enjoying doing the exercises agai n and having a sing-a-long.
We took the decision to cease the meal deliveries we had started during lockdown as most of our
members had returned to the Club so the need was no longer there. We do, however, still offer the
service to any of our members should they be unable to come to the Club for any reason and this
has been gratefully received.
Due to ongoing issues with the CARESCO minibus, the trustees agreed to replace it with a new one.
A JustGiving appeal page was set up and the initial target of £ l 0,000 was reached so quickly that
we can only thank everyone who has donated and fundraised for us. We will continue fundraising
and now we are able to host our popular quiz suppers again we are able to fundraise for both the
new minibus and the Club's social fund. The trustees are now in the process of leasing a new
accessible minibus for CARESCO and we are very much looking forward to being able to use it to
pick up ou r members, We are extremely grateful to local taxi firm Sawtry Cars for helping out in the
interim and to our own volunteer drivers.
We have three new volunteers that have joined our team. They have fitted in well and we are very
grateful for all of our volunteers and their continued support and help. Our club would not be
what it is without them.

The Sawtry Eye has been published throughout the year and we have welcomed the return of
many of our regular contributors as their groups and activities have slowly restarted. Sadly some
groups have not survived the pandefflic and we were sorry in particular to see the demise of one of
Sawtry's longest existing clubs, the Sawtry Winemakers.

To provide a local low<ost recycling Service for the community while raising
funds to enable the wider activities of the charity,
The Charity Shop opened its doors once again in early April after what felt like a very long 3 months
of another lockdown. It was good to see volunteers and customers in the shop once again. We
have kept some of the Covid-related precautions in place namely the automatic hand sanitiser
dispenser and the Perspex screen around the till. Although face coverings were no longer
mandatory during April 2021 and March
2022 we were still encouraging customers to
wear them and our volunteers continued to
wear theirs.
In November and December, we said
goodbye to two of our volunteers who were
also Cover Supervisors, due to them moving
away from Sawtry. Janet Spencer and
Angela Buckley are a great loss to our Shop
team but we wish them all the best for the
future.
Our social media page continues to be a good addition where we sell certain items and promote
what is happening in the Shop and also elsewhere in CARESCO.
We are no longer offering plastic carrier bags but are selling long life bags for 50p. Some of our
volunteers are also being very generous with their skills by making tote bags which we are selling
for £1. These are made out of donated bed linen that has fai led to sell on the shop floor and are very
popular. The shop also now has a volunteer who is qualified to carry out PAT testing which means
we are able to take in small electrical donations.
Throughout the year we have taken on average 440 bags and boxes of donations each month. We
have refined the system so that donations are raising funds for CARESCO within three days of being
donated. The booking system also means we are continuing to register new people willing to gift
aid the proceeds from selling their donations, which has almost trebled our claim. From April 2021
through to March 2022 we have registered 139 new gift aid donors and managed to update the
details of another 77 pr&existing donors.

CARESCOAnnual Report2021-22

We have offered several Lucky Number opportunities which has helped to raise additional funds for
the charity. We are also using a company who buy our broken jewellery and badly tarnished silver
plate amongst other things. This means some of our donated items are now appearing on stage
across the country as props in theatresl We are continuing to'ziffiy all books, DVDS and CDS before
they reach the shop floor.
Boy George was our guest 'Pop Starf scarecrow for a week at the end of August. He seemed to
enjoy his time here and was a popular attraction for both volunteers and customers.
We had a very successful volunteers meeting in September which welcomed 22 volunteers. It was a
very productive gathering with lots of points raised. Following on from the meeting it was
unanimously decided a social gathering for the team was much needed. We had a fun afternoon in
October where there was food provided by everyone, music, a quii mystery objects to ponder over
as well as laughter and lot of chat.
Our shop window continues to celebrate special moments throughout the year. It really is a great
way to spread the word about CARESCO and also to give passers-by something to smile about
during their day. Over Christmas the shop was very festive both in appearance and atmosphere.
The theme for the window was a Christmas View and featured a cosy living room effect with a
flickering fire. We also entered a tree in the All Saints Church Christmas Tree Festival. We are now
the proud owners of a family of very smart, modern mannequins. These were very kindly donated
by Tina Campbell and Dave Dougherty.
After Christmas we decided that closing at lunchtimes for extra cleaning was no longer necessary,
so returned to our normal opening hours.
Sales are still not quite where they were pre-covid, but we are still here offering the best value
money can buy and service with a smile. Our volunteers continue to give their time so generously
and for that we are always grateful. Thank you for your much needed and continued support.

To provide a safe space to build friendships
while sharing expertise and passing on knowledge
This has been a year of change in and around the Cave but we continue to be busy and an integral
part of both the Sawtry and CARESCO communities. In the summer of 2021, Hugh Spencer
announced his iniention io resign from his position as Supervisor as he was moving out of the area.
Hugh was a much-respected member of Ihe Cave, CARESCO and his efforts in his supervisory role
were very much appreciated.
Following on from the refurbishments last year; the lights and smoke alarm systems have been
replaced. In addition, the floors have been painted with non-slip paint to comply with Health and
Safety requirements and more work stations have been added. With a full redecoration too, the
space looks fresh and welcoming.
Having such a wide skill set amongst the Cavers, the projects being undertaken are varied. As part
CARESCOAnnual Report2021-22

of the A14 Project, we were approached and
asked to make a number of hedgehog boxes that
would be placed strategically along the
development in a bid to help protect this lovely
creature. We also made some for local families
too. As Autumn approached, we had an increase
in customers asking for bug houses, bird boxes

Cavers made a large sleigh that was to be used as
a photographic opportunity.
Interspersed
amongst all of this were regular requests for PAT
testing, watch repairs, bench restorations and
repair / alterations of clothing I curtains. As we moved into the Spring of 2022, requests from
customers changed to the servicing of bikes, lawn mowers and strimmers. Chairs were r
upholstered, rocking horses were given new leases of life, sewing machines were serviced, and
furniture was restored. We also entered a scarecrow into the Sawtry ScarecrowTrail.
In addition to completing project requests for members of the community, Cavers can land dol
bring in their own projects that they want to spend time on in the Cave. This has included
sharpening tools, repairing electrical equipment, repainting garden accessories, making cushions
and r&¥upholstering chairs amongst other things. There is no obligation to undertake any physical
work whilst i n the Cave,. coming along for a cuppa and a chat is perfectly acceptable too. First and
foremost, the Cave aims to continue to offer the opportunity for users to socialise in a safe, relaxed
environment although new members may also have skills to offer or simply have skills / knowledge
that they would like to learn. As this year continues, we look foward to welcoming more new
members, Regardless of your age or gender, whether you are able-bodied, have disabilities or
mental health issues- you will be extremely welcome.

for family carers and those for whom they care.
April 2021 began with the Chatterbox team continuing to meet on Zoom. It was not until early
June that we were able to host the first face-to-face meeting returning to the Club Room. Although
the Zoom meetings served a purpose and kept us all connected, the overall opinion was that the
face-to-face get togethers were preferred. We have had two new members who have joined since
we reopened making our regular total of members back up to between 13 and 16 for each session.
During the Summer, Ali has joined the team as a volunteer ciiordinator and has taken over the
planning and activity aspect of the sessions. A second volunteer, Helen also helps at each meet and
is hands on with the housekeeping tasks. Both have slolted in well with the group, are full of ideas
and reliably hosting the sessions in the Centre without much need for the staff to be there as
regularly. The last 12 months, activities have included quizzes, card games as well as the much-
loved chatting element. November's sessions even incorporated some crafting, and the elements
made were added to the Challerbox Christmas tree for the Tree Festival at All Saints Church. During

CARESCOAnnual Report2021-22

one of the first sessions of 2022 we were fortunate to welcome
Millie, a Pets as Therapy IPATI dog.
Since the Autumn, a team of home bakers began providing
donated cakes and biscuits on a rota system. This has helped
reduce the cost ofthe regular expenses. The income is roughly
£1 per person attending, so the benefit of not needing to
purchase as many refreshments means these donations can go
towards the other expenses of the service.
Sensibly, the group decided to postpone the Christmas
pantomime which they had tickets for and have agreed to all
enjoy a show later in 2022. We ended the last Chatterbox
session of 2021 with a Christmas party which all the service
users enjoyed and rounded off the calendar year on a high note with 20 people attending including
some faces we had not seen in a while.
Following a conversation that Ali and I had with some of the members in February, who were keen
to become more hands on with some of the jobs during the sessions like making the tea and doing
the washing up, this was a welcomed decision and something we are keen to reintroduce. Another
step forward to getting backto a pre-pandemic way of operating.

new ones over a cuppa and cake.
As with the rest of the country, the Coffee Shop team were still unable to reopen in April 2021 due
to the latest wave of Covid infections. Thankfully, as restrictions lifted, we were finally once again
able to welcome back our customers at the end of May to enjoy their weekly cuppa, bacon buttie
and homemade cake.
Customers were understanding about the
ongoing distancing and hygiene guidelines and
numbers had to be limited to begin with. As
each wave ofcovid hit, some customers chose to
stay away which had an impact on the income
from this activity.
Carolyn, our Volunteer Co-ordinator, continues
to run the sessions and also organises the
majority of the preparations including the cake bakers (including herselo and her small team of
volunteers. She even got her Food Safety certificate during lockdown.
We are grateful io Carolyn for all her hard work and also to her two maln team members, Llz and
Diana, with Debbie acting as backup to cover absences. And of course final thanks to all our bakers
for the steady supply of cake to keep us going on a Friday.

To provide an affordable alternative
for anyone who h35 difficulty using public transport.
This year the Car Scheme's volunteer drivers undertook
578 medical trips driving a total of 10,579 miles. What is
more staggering over the last nine years, the Car
Scheme has made S,207 trips driving a total of 95,213
miles.
With the pandemic arriving in 2020 combined with a
lack of volunteer drivers, last year it was decided to limit
the Car Scheme to medical trips only and this has
unfortunately continued to be the case. However, to say
that fulfilling the requests for medical transport has been challenging would be an understatement.
The Car Scheme has seen hospitals catching up with outpatient appointments by putting on extra
clinics, some taking place over the weekend.
We have tried to accommodate all the request for transport, but on rare occasions this has not been
possible. As Volunteer Co-ordinator, I try when necessary to prioritise the journey requests. Anyone
who is undergoing chemotherapy takes priority, hospital appointments come next then trips to GP
surgeries and dental practices.
In February the trustees agreed to changing the activitls name from Sawtry Car Scheme to
CARESCO Car Scheme both to avoid any confusion with a local taxi service, and to reaffirm instead
that the team was a valued part of the wider charity,
would like to thank our small team of dedicated drivers for all the hours they have put in to the
Scheme to help others in our community. For various reasons the number of available volunteer
drivers has been reduced from nine down to four over the year. The Scheme, like other areas of
CARESCO needs more volunteers. If you have a spare morning or afternoon a week and could help,
please contact the CARESCO Office for further information.

depth of the various topics covered. We have enjoyed part-singing, playing the kazoo, line dancing,

CARESCOAnnual Report2021-22

learning about national anthems, professional pianists, bagpipes, classical and modern poetry, etc.
We have honed our skills at choral speaking, tried our hand at mime and acting and also had a go at
writing limericks. Some of these were more successful than others, the resulting 'sounds' not always
'good', but all challenging and enjoyable. Yes, we sometimes have a singalong, but these sessions all
have a point, and we glean information on the way.
The expertise of members within the group is much
valued, several regularly leading a session, and, from
time to time, we have a visiting speaker. Some
members are very competent musicians, others have
no experience whatsoever.
Each session, 60 minutes long, is followed by tea and
cake. There is no joining fee or subscription but a
voluntary donation of £2 per session helps towards
CARESCO'S costs. We share the responsibilities for
setting up the room, serving and clearing away refreshments, washing up etc.
Two or three times a year, we have been invited by village groups to put together a programme of
poetry, prose, readings, jokes, songs, quizzes etc. on a particular theme, gearing the material to suit
the audience, so it may be just light entertainment, or a thought provoking interpretation of a
theme. These presentations give us the opportunity to use our talents to the full, practising until an
acceptable standard is reached and we feel confident to perform in public.
Although most who attend regularly are retired, we are still very active, alert and willing to try
anything. Members do not always attend every session, one or two prefer to listen rather than take
an active part, but we all come along to enjoy ourselves, take up a challenge and share a common
interest. Think Sawtry U3A.

A lot of preparation goes into this day. From dolng the f undraising to
purchasing and storing the food, choosing the presents, getting our
lovely volunteers in and prepped. Christmas Eve was spent peeling veg,
laying tables putting up decorations and sorting the'party bagg.
We were lucky enough to borrow the minibus from Peterborough Lions.
Santa donned his suit and those that could get on the bus were all
picked up from their hoffles and brought into the Centre. The few
guests who could not get on to the bus were picked up in cars by our
other volunteers. Christmas 2022 will be different as we should have
access to our own minibus by then.

Volunteer chef, Sally had the oven gloves at the ready. Sally has the knowledge to ensu re there is
minimal waste yet plenty for us all to eat and is very organised. A choice of starters, main and
desserts were offered to everyone. The cheese course was sent home with the guests in the party
bags so that over full bellies could be squeezed with a bit more food at home.
Games were played and we even managed to tune in and catch the Queen's speech at 3pm. Some
of the Sounds Good group members sang Christmas Carols and everyone joined in. Last but not
least, Santa and his assistant gave out the presents to all those who had been good (even if only for
that dayl}.
This day is hard work but so much fun for everyone involved. I think this was my seventh year of
Christmas Day volunteering and l am still as enthusiastic about it now as I was when l first
volunteered. It was my first taster of volunteering and that showed me how great CARESCO can be
and is. If anyone wants to join us in f uture years please let us know.
A massive thank you to all involved, I sincerely hope to see you all again for Christmas Day 2022.

To provide emergency food for local people in crisis by working in partnership
with the congregations of the Sawtry & Glatton Churches
This year has seen changes in Covid restrictions, from
full lockdown to the removal of most restrictions in
March. Our Foodbank team ha5 delivered food
parcels every week of the year, with everyone being
flexible to cope with less volunteers, due to Covid, at
times. In total, we delivered 730 weekly food parcels
which helped 2483 local people in food crisis.
In June, we secured a grant from Sawtry Parish
Council to provide fresh fruit and vegetables for the
Summer scheme and the Christmas hamper scheme.
The Summer scheme ran throughout the summer
holidays and we worked with the local schools who
nominated children who had been receiving free school meals. We had an average of 50 children a
week receiving food support and gave out 133 food parcels to 348 local children in total. This was
i n addition to the weekly parcels. We had extra volunteers in place to cover this high demand.
Signposting clients to further help has been a big focus this year. We developed our link with the
Social Prescriber based at Sawtry's Wellside Surgery, to direct clients to extra help and support. I
received training on community signposting and fuel poverty awareness. I referred 36 clients on to
fuel vouchers, supermarket vouchers and financial advice during the year. I have also worked with
staff at Sawtry Junior Academy and Sawtry Village Academy to signpost their long-term clients to
further help.

CARESCOAnnual Report2021-22

In November we stopped using Food For Nought, who had been suppling us with surplus fruit and
vegetables from supermarkets, they wanted to charge a weekly delivery fee.
I worked with our Facebook volunteer Karen to improve our weekly posts and add further facts and
information. We have also advertised other CARESCO events on our page.
In early December we made a Foodbank-themed Christmas tree for the display at All Saints Church.
It was made entirely of tins with, of course, some tinsel too.
The Christmas food hampers were given out during the week before Christmas, with teams of
volunteers packing and delivering 148 bags in the week before the big day. The fresh items, 52
fresh fruit and veg boxes, 52 meat parcels and 52 loaves of bread were delivered on 23rd December.
All the fresh items were supplied from local businesses. In total, 62 parcels were given out to 220
local people. 19 volunteers made up the team over Christmas. The teamwork involved to ensure
that it ran smoothly was fantastic. This was also in addition to the weekly parcels.
After Christmas, I worked with Tony and Emma to produce a new handbook for the Foodbank
volunteers which contained the relevant CARESCO policies too.
Our stock levels throughout the year have been boosted by
large donations of tinned items from Princes Food. We
continue to receive donations from our local community and
we increased our number of donation points in the
community at the end of March. Jacqui works hard to find
stock for us and we now have a company, Consuma paper
products, who supply us with free toilet rolls, kitchen rolls and
tissues. Thank you, Jacqui for your continued help and ideas.
I have had to shop for essential food items to bridge any gaps.
Since the New Year, Pauline has led a team of volunteers,
sorting and date checking the current stock. We want to
minimise any waste. This was a huge tasl so thank you to
everyone involved. There has been a reduction in the level of
donations we have received from the public since February
2022, which has happened as prices rose sharply. We believe
that this will continue through 2022 as the cost of living is
predicted to keep on rising. We applied for four grants at the
end of March to help fund the Foodbank for the coming year. This may be the way forward to help
with rising costs and I will keep exploring this option.
During February 2022 we developed and trialled a new online referral system with the help and
expertise of Matt and Debbie Coates. The aim was to make the referral process easier, quicker and
accessible online. Matt and Debbie worked hard to improve the system and in March we gave out
logins to all our regular referral agencies. These referrals feed into the Foodbank spreadsheet and
Debbie prepares the weekly sheets for us to use in the delivery sessions. This will need monitoring
over the coming months, but it is a big step forward. Many thanks to Matt and Debbie for all their
help and support.
We continue to include information leaflets in our food parcels. Including regular ones from Sawtry
Library and the Child and Family Centre.
We were able to have face-to-face steering group meetlngs and volunteer meetlngs agaln and they
generated lots of ideas. 11 was so good io be all together again.
We have had a successful year and I want to thank Tony, Emma, and all the staff and trustees who
have sUPPOrted the Foodbank throughout the year. The rising cost of l iving will be a new challenge
for the year to come, as it will increase demand and lower donations received. Sawtry Foodbank
will rise to the challenge as we have an amazing team of volunteers. Our volunteers are the reason
why it works so well. they make the Foodbankwhat it is. l am proud to be a member of the team.

THE CARESCO CENTRE
After a quiet few months during another lockdown,
it was lovely to be able to welcome back our various
activities into our Centre. We were thankful for grant
funding which covered the extra costs of additional
cleaning to help minimise the risks of infection and
keep everyone as safe as we could. Working
patterns for some staff changed in response to the
pandemic which has now evolved into new routines
meaning that the offic&based team are now much more fluid in where they do their work including
office and home.
CARESCO
Work to maintain the increasingly aging structure continues and during the year the remaining
obsolete fluorescent light fittings were replaced with new more energy efficient units. Meanwhile
ongoing plumbing issues continue to be a challenge. The full electrical inspection of the building
was completed during the year.
The endless battle for storage continues as each activity becomes busier, meaning that keeping the
old collating room clear for occasional meetings is all but impossible, especially with the addition of
temporary stock for the big one-off events, such as the Sawtry Carnival or Sport 4 All.
With that in mind, the developing wish list for a replacement building includes the need for large
amounts of dedicated storage as well as spare meeting space over and above current daily
requirements. Through the year there has been an increased focus on sourcing a more permanent
replacement CARESCO Centre including involvement with the Sawtry Neighbourhood Plan
committee exploring possible sites for the Centre when the time comes.
Any new building will need to have spare capacity beyond current requirements and multi-
functional where possible to give CARESCO the option to change and adapt over the coming years.
Other proposals include more garden space outside and a garage for the minibus, a permanent
community café setup and fully accessible, single uni-sex toilets. Maximising the insulation and
other aspects, such as solar panels, to protect CARESCO as far as possible from future energy bills
and the impact of climate change must also be considered.
Our thanks to everyone who has helped with maintenance tasks during the year. In particular to
Brian, Dave and Matt for all their support, both practical and technical. Thank you also to Keith, Ann
and Alan who have kept us looking tidy outside and have cared for our garden and planters, and of
course to our lovely cleaner, Sandra for her hard work throughout the year.

Another year has gone past in the CARESCO calendar and once again our
village and wider community have been amazing. Our supporters have pulled
together to make it a good year and help to raise funds and awareness of our
unique charity. From all the little f undraisers that add up to people supporting
us in many different ways. All help to make us what we are. Between us all we
can achieve greatness and secure the future of CARESCO.
We have at last been able to organise some larger events during 2021 22 as the pandemic has
eased and have had some events organised for us with CARESCO receiving lovely donations.
Hopefully we will be able to hold more events in the coming year.
We have a fabulous team of volunteers who can turn their hand to anything at short notice from
baking cakes, seNing refreshments, manning stalls, support and clearing up!! We are very thankful
to them all and without them thisjob would be a lot harder.
We still continue to promote our'Funding our Future. campaign which we launched in 2020 and

THE STORY SO FAR
Our Sawtry-based charity was set up in 1982 (registered number 288202) with the grand name of
'Sawtry & District Care and Resource Organisatiorf, but colloquially known as CARESCO from the
start. The initial aim of the founders was to rescue two pre-exiting activities, a lunch club and a day
centre, both threatened with closure.
Based in the ancient modular building known as the Homecraft Centreadjacent to the Agricultural
(Agl Centre behind the Old School Hall, CARESCO continued to grow in size and strength through
the enthusiasm and hard workof all involved and soon tookover the Manpower Services Printshop
which shared the building.
Over the years a variety of additional activities have joined the originals under the CARESCO
umbrella, most run by paid part-time staff and supported by teams of volunteers, working together
with local authorities and other voluntary organisations to create a stronger, more caring
community. Always with the aim of meeting identified needs within the local community.
Funding over the years has come through grants both from local councils and trusts, attendance
fees personal and organisational donations and fundraising.
In 2001 CARESCO moved into a new purpose-built modular building, the CARESCO Centre, funded
by the National Lottery and bringing the Sawtry-based activities together into one building. In
2011 CARESCO became an incorporated charity, CARESCO Ltdlregistered charity number 1140728;
company number 75134321.
CARESCO opened a charity shop in Sawtry in April 2013 where the extra income has both helped to
underpin the existing activities and also to fund the ongoing development of new services to
further meet needs within the local community.

## Financial Review 

Following on from what was possibly the most challenging year since CARESCO began, this financial year has been a time of recovery and restructuring, as well as planning for the future. Our income from Club attendance, Charity Shop & CARESCO Cave sales and fundraising events has gradually increased over the last 12 months, but generally figures are still lower than average compared to pre-pandemic times.  With the cost of living predicted to continue rising, we are always looking into alternative sources of funding to help bolster our income as purse strings are inevitably tightened. 

Having been very fortunate in securing significant amounts of grant funding during the pandemic, we have learned that this is a very valuable resource to help with our ongoing costs, and it is becoming more of a focus in our fundraising efforts.  We are also continuing to explore the arena of corporate fundraising and building relationships with local businesses. 

## Principle Funding Sources 

Historically our income has come from a mixture of sources. We have predominantly been selffunded including income from the Charity Shop, Sawtry Eye advertising, day club attendance fees, fundraising events and donations, with a small percentage of our costs funded by grants. 

After an unprecedented amount of grant income having been received in the previous year, at 63% of CARESCO's income, we have seen this income stream significantly reduced, to approximately 25% of total income. In the Financial Year ending March 22, our largest grant funder was Cambridgeshire County Council, with their grant for the Green End Day Club which helped to cover approximately 43% of the Club's costs. 

Our largest source of income (39%) came from Charity Shop and Man Cave sales, at more than double the previous year's figures. Donations accounted for 17%, Advertising made up 6%, Attendance Fees 8%, and income from fundraising was up from 1% the previous year to 7%. 

## Reserves Policy 

Reserves are that part of a unrestricted funds that are freely available to spend on any of the purposes. This definition excludes restricted income funds and endowment funds, although holding such funds may influence a reserves policy. Reserves will also normally exclude tangible fixed assets held for the use and amounts designated for essential spending. 

## Need for a reserves policy 

In accordance with guidance given by the Charities Commission for England and the legal obligations of our Trustees, this formal policy on reserves was agreed at our Board meeting on 29th August 2019 (due for review in the coming year). 

At this meeting the Board set a reserves policy which requires reserves to be maintained at a level that ensures that the core activity could continue during a period of unforeseen difficulty. Furthermore, a proportion of these reserves are required to be maintained in a readily realisable form. 



## Our risks 

Our organisation is supported by Cambridgeshire County Council in the form of grant income receivable. This grant income is greatly influential in the continuation of our organisation and as such, the potential loss of this income has been identified as one of our primary risks. Although funding for the year has been received the organisation recognises that this income is not guaranteed. The Trustees conclude that the risks associated with this income are medium. The organisation has diverse funding streams which help to lend stability to the situation and the Trustees are confident that the Charity will remain viable for the foreseeable future. 

Occasional grants are secured, generally related to specific capital projects. However, because of the one-off, purpose directed nature of these grants the risks associated with their loss are low; we are confident that alternative grant sources can be found. 

payments for services provided make a substantial contribution to our income. The risk to these receipts as an ongoing funding stream has currently been assessed as low. 

main commercial venture is the Charity Shop. There is a financial risk associated with any commercial venture. However, a full financial risk assessment has been made and reserves made to help mitigate any adverse situation. Although this endeavour is rated as a medium risk, there are no perceived threats within its sphere of operation. 

## The required level of reserves 

The calculation of the required level of reserves is an integral part of the planning, budget and forecast cycle. It takes into account risks associated with each stream of income and expenditure being different from that budgeted. Some of these risks have been identified above. 

Having considered all the facts and information available to us at this time, the Trustees have concluded that the charity should hold a level of reserves sufficient to fund the organisation in a period of unforeseen difficulties for six months. They believe that this is a suitable length of time for them to consider their options and to find a solution to the difficulties. 

In addition to the above, the current building from which CARESCO conducts its main activities has been assessed as having a limited lifespan. There is an expectation of a future need for either repairs to the existing building or the purchase or construction of a new building. The potential cost of this is estimated to be in the region of £500,000 and therefore a Building Fund Reserve is being accumulated toward this goal in preparation for the eventuality. 

The Trustees recognise that the risks facing our organisation are not constant. Our view of risk will depend on how vulnerable our income streams are and how healthy our financial forecasts are. Also as an employer our financial risks will change over time. The risks and the levels of reserves required will fluctuate. Accordingly, the Trustees have committed to review the Reserves Policy on an annual basis. This review should be carried out when the figures for the previous financial year become available. 

The Trustees are aware that following the COVID-19pandemic there is a need to review theassessmentofrisksandamendourpolicyforreservesaccordingly. Unfortunately, due to time constraints we have been unable to achieve this in time for thepublication ofthe year-end financial statements, however this review will be carried out at the earliest opportunity.

_**Please provide details of any unfulfilled conditions and other contingencies attaching to grants that have been recognised in income.**_ 

1.  The Block Contract Day Care Grant for Alconbury Thursday Club awarded by Cambridgeshire County Council in the amount of £2,062.00 was received shortly before the club was closed and so the funding was not able to be spent in the intended manner.  This funding was therefore repaid to the Council on 12.04.22. 2.  The Infection Control Fund awarded to Green End Day Club by Cambridgeshire County Council in the amount of £4,399.00 was not able to be spent in its entirety because the conditions could not be met, therefore the unspent balance of £3,526.04 was repaid to the Council on 07.05.22, along with £3,222.22 brought forward from the previous financial year.
