## _Introduction from the Chair_
In our third year as Age Cymru West Glamorgan, it’s my privilege to report on our impact in this unique year as we move out of the pandemic and adapt to the ‘new normal’.
In our last financial year, April 2020 to March 2021, we were extremely fortunate to secure multiple funding sources to fund our vital work helping our clients through the pandemic. We were also deeply grateful to receive substantial legacies. These gifts in wills are so important to us as a charity and have allowed the Board to invest further in delivering services to Age Cymru West Glamorgan’s clients. The Board was able to fund our Information and Advice service to help meet a rise in both need and complexity, supporting our clients with more than 1,000 additional queries this year. This shows the impact of gifts in wills for us a charity, if we hadn’t received such generous gifts older people would have been significantly less served.
Conscious of the challenging funding landscape, the Board also invested in our infrastructure to give us the best chance to secure new funding. The Board recognises that our greatest asset is our fantastic team of dedicated staff and volunteers, and without them we wouldn’t be able to support our clients, so we’ve invested in new roles to support them in their work. To keep our systems secure, we increased our cyber security packages, keeping clients’ data safe whilst meeting the requirements to bid for statutory funding. Most significantly, we launched our Home Support Service to deliver the high-quality help at home that our clients desperately needed, whilst building towards funding our charitable activities.
This investment really paid off, allowing us to secure funding for our Practical Assistance Project, providing 500 hours of free support at home for those who needed
it. It also allowed us to secure funding for our Intervention, Prevention and Practical Support project providing intensive support for up to 39 clients, helping them live safely and independently in their own homes. We also achieved our goal of increasing the support we can offer to clients living with, and those caring for, someone with dementia, through our Dementia Pathfinder Project.
Alongside our successes, the Board of Trustees has faced challenges this year. Despite our best efforts, we were unable to secure funding to continue our Meal Delivery Service, or to restart our Lunch Club at the Afan Nedd Centre. This was a particularly hard reality to face given the amazing work the team did during the pandemic, but sadly we can only provide so much without the help of others. We have also had to contend with the cost-of-living crisis which has added significant challenges to our cost of delivery, the goods we pay for, and recruiting staff.
I would like to thank my fellow Trustees whose dedication to our mission has been invaluable. I would also like to acknowledge the fantastic work of our staff and volunteers who continue to surpass what seems possible. Their commitment to bettering the lives of older people never ceases to amaze me. Similarly, to those who have provided grant funding, left us a gift in their will, set up a regular donation, or donated their loose change, thank you. We simply wouldn’t exist without your generosity.
The year ahead will be challenging, but we will work together to deliver the very best support we can to ensure we continue to promote wellbeing, and help our clients live well, and independently for as long as possible.

Impact Report 2021-22
## _Looking ahead to 2023 from the Chief Officer_
The Coronavirus Pandemic took a heavy toll and sadly older people were especially affected. The extensive shielding period, repeated lockdowns, and the health messages around the risk of contact, has resulted in a legacy of complex support needs that are still being identified now. 2021 - 2022 was a busy year, with support provided to 4,234 older people and their careers, with many successes.
Sadly, it is my duty to sound a warning for the year ahead. As I write this, we have already supported 4,153 older people and their carers in the first 6 months of the financial year
(2022 - 23). We are set to have the busiest year to date, and we simply do not have the resources we need to meet the demand. If we do not secure the funding we crucially need, and if people don’t donate, we will have to cut our service to the bone, which will leave so many of our clients without the support they desperately need.
It has been a disappointing year for funding and with the Health Board’s decision to delay their tender process by over a year to 2024, it’s doesn’t appear that statutory funding will be there to support us. The cost-of-living crisis has already taken its toll, and we have
_**4**_
Impact Report 2021-22
increased staff salaries to ensure they have enough to live on, and to keep abreast in a competitive recruitment environment. Our costs are set to increase over the next year, with the cost of utilities being of greatest concerns. The sharp increase in the Real Living Wage to £10.90 an hour means that we need to find a significant amount of money to ensure we can pay our fantastic staff the salary they need to live, as without them we wouldn’t be able to provide any services to our clients.
Unfortunately, the Board has had to make the deeply difficult decision to pass the Afan Nedd Centre back to Neath Port Talbot Council. We were facing a £10K increase in our Gas and Electricity costs, and despite our best efforts over the past year to try and secure funding to continue delivering services from the centre, we had no other option but to give up the Afan Nedd Centre to prevent the costs of running it compromising Age Cymru West Glamorgan’s other crucial work.
we’re launching our first ever Emergency Fund Appeal, to help meet the increased need and make sure we can answer all the calls for help this winter.
Every donation will help to help ensure we can continue to be there for older people in Swansea, Neath Port Talbot and Bridgend who are at crisis point this winter. Please donate now.
## **Connor James**
Chief Officer
In addition to the lack of funding streams available to us, the cost-of-living crisis has severely impacted our ability to concentrate our finances into helping us to provide crucial services to those who rely on us. But it’s not just a cost-of-living crisis, it’s a living crisis. Our donations have fallen by 47% and we urgently need your help to continue our vital work in Swansea, Neath Port Talbot and Bridgend. This is why we are asking for more support than ever. Without an extra helping hand, we simply cannot help meet the demand for our services.
We can help but we simply don’t have the funding to answer the unprecedented number of calls we’re receiving. We have never had so much demand and so little funding so

## _Activities_
## **Information and Advice Service**
This service provides access to independent, quality assured information and advice to older people and their carers. This service delivers professional advice, including practical form filling on topics ranging from benefits; issues related to personal care, planning for later life, housing issues and accessing local services. We take a holistic approach and provide comprehensive advice with the client at the heart of the service.
- The charity provided Information and Advice to a total of 1535 clients, helping with 2775 enquiries
- Our clients throughout Swansea, Neath, Port Talbot, and Bridgend were awarded over £999,083.50 in benefits via our Information and Advice projects.
- Of the enquiries we received, over 1200 of these were related to benefits. 520 were regarding care in the community and residential care
## **Meal Delivery Service**
The Coronavirus pandemic and the resulting lockdowns, had a huge impact on members of the local community who relied upon support services for food security and socialisation. Within just five working days, Age Cymru West Glamorgan reacted to the concerns and adapted by redeploying the Afan Nedd Centre to provide a Meal Delivery Service. This service allowed people to maintain their independence, as well as enabling people to feel connected and cared for, reducing the need to seek further support from public sector services as needs could be identified at an earlier stage. With the assistance of 92 fantastic volunteers, we were able to provide over 19,700 meals to the community over the course of the service. Unfortunately, as were unable to secure funding to continue, this service was closed down in May 2021.

## _Activities_
## **Warm Homes Project**
As part of this project, we supported clients with accessing the benefits that they were entitled to, enabling them to boost their income and avoid falling into fuel poverty. We carried out 97 benefit sessions this year, securing £149,551.94 for clients.
## **Homecare Plus**
This project provided services across Swansea, Neath, Port Talbot and Bridgend, to support people to live independently in their own homes. Ensuring access to safe, reliable, and quality services, carried out by vetted tradespeople, in order to protect vulnerable people from rogue traders. Over the last 12 months, as a result of the surge in demand for tradespeople after repeated Covid lockdowns, we found it an increasing challenge to efficiently meet the needs of our clients, therefore the decision was made to close the service at the end of March 2022.
## **Practical Assistance Project**
In January 2021, the Practical Assistance Project was launched, providing up to four weeks of free in-home support to clients and their carers. Our team of fully trained, Home Support Workers were able to assist clients who met the project criteria with tasks like cleaning, helping with administrative tasks, preparing and cooking meals, and providing sitting services. Funded by the WCVA, this project ran until May 2021 and supported 131 clients and their carers to remain independent in their own homes, with over 500 hours of free support.

## **Advicelink**
Through our partnership with Citizens Advice Swansea Neath Port Talbot on their Advicelink project, we have supported over 462 clients to access information and advice. We secured over £383,150 in unclaimed benefits for our clients. Although Covid 19 restrictions stopped us delivering support face to face, we look forward to resuming our face to face service, particularly visiting client in their own homes, as soon as restriction allow.
## **Lasting Power of Attorney**

## _Activities_
## **IPPS**
Working closely with Swansea and Neath Port Talbot Councils for Voluntary Services, our Intervention, Prevention and Practical Support Project ran from October 2021 until March 2022. It offered up to 6 weeks of free in-home support to clients who were identified as being at high risk of being admitted/readmitted to hospital or those who needed support in place in order to safely enable hospital discharge. During this time, we supported 39 clients with over 500 support sessions in their own homes.
## **Dementia Pathfinder Project**
December 2021 saw us commence our Dementia Pathfinder Project. This project was set up to support clients and their carers after a diagnosis of Dementia, offering information and guidance through personalised support plans designed to ensure clients and carers feel involved and informed about their care. To date, we have provided clients and their carers with 78 individualised support plans. This project is funded by West Glamorgan Regional Partnership.
## **Afan Nedd Centre**
Our Afan Nedd Centre in Port Talbot gave us the ideal space to provide a daily lunch club for older people in the area. This enabled us to offer hot, nutritious meals in a safe space where people could socialise and maintain their links with the community. The versatile and accessible space has also been a great place for community groups and clubs to get together on a regular basis.

As the charity's trustees of the Company (and also its directors for the purposes of company law) you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 ('the 2006 Act').
Having satisfied myself that the accounts of the Company are not required to be audited under Part 16 of the 2006 Act and are eligible for independent examination, I report in respect of my examination of your charity's accounts as carried out under section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 ('the 2011 Act').

1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the Company as required by section 386 of the 2006 Act; or 2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or
3. the accounts do not comply with the accounting requirements of section 396 of the 2006 Act other than any requirement that the accounts give a true and fair view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination; or

## **Basis of preparing the financial statements**
The financial statements of the charitable company, which is a public benefit entity under FRS 102, have been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102) 'Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019)', Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland' and the Companies Act 2006.

## **Preparation of accounts on a going concern basis**
The trustees of the Charity are required to consider whether the Charity meets the going concern basis at the end of each financial year. Reviewing the available resources, cash balances and funding already obtained for FY21/22, the trustees are confident that the Charity remains a going concern and this basis of preparation is appropriate.
## **Income**
All income is recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities once the charity has entitlement to the funds, any conditions attached to the item(s) of income have been met, it is probable that the income will be received, and the amount can be measured reliably.
Income from Government and other grants, whether 'capital' grants or 'revenue' grants, is recognised when the charity has entitlement to the funds, any performance conditions attached to the grants have been met, it is probable that the income will be received, and the amount can be measured reliably and is not deferred.
Income from trading activities is recognised when the Charity is deemed to be entitled to the income, when it can be reliably measured and when it is sufficiently probable to be received. This mainly relates to the Homecare Plus and Home Support Service and income is shown net of VAT.
Interest on funds held on deposit is included when receivable and the amount can be measured reliably by the charity; this is normally upon notification of the interest paid or payable by the bank.
Income from donated goods is recognised upon receipt of the goods as required by the SORP 2019.
## **Expenditure**
Liabilities are recognised as expenditure as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the Charity to that expenditure, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all costs related to the category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings, they have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources.
Charitable expenditure comprises those costs incurred by the charity in the delivery of its activities, both costs directly attributable and indirect support costs.
## **Tangible fixed assets**
Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates to write off each asset over its estimated useful life.
Furniture & Fittings and Office Equipment - 25% Reducing Balance Leasehold Property - 2% Straight Line
Assets greater than £2,500 will be capitalised.
## **Allocation and apportionment of costs**
Support costs are those functions that assist the work of the charity but do not directly undertake charitable activities. Support costs include finance, professional and governance costs which support the Charity's activities.
## **Taxation**
The charity is exempt from tax on income and gains falling within section 505 of the Taxes Act 1988 or section 252 of the Taxation of Chargeable Gains Act 1992 to the extent that these are applied to its charitable projects.

## **NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - continued FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022**
## **1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued**
## **Fund accounting**
Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the Trustees in furtherance of the general objective of the Charity and which have not been designated for other purposes.
Designated funds are unrestricted funds earmarked by the Trustees for particular purposes falling in future time periods.
Restricted funds are funds subject to specific restrictions imposed by the donors or which have been raised by the charity for particular purposes. The aim and use of each restricted fund is set out in the notes to the financial statements.
## **Deferred Income**
Deferred income represents income received by not earned as of the year end. Deferred income primarily consists of grant income designated for a specific period but received in advance of this period.
## **Legal Status of the Charity**
The charity was incorporated on 2 March 2012 and is a company limited by guarantee. The members of the company are trustees named on page 2. In the event of the charity being wound up, the liability in respect of the guarantee is limited to £1 per member of the charity. The registered office of the Charity is listed on page 2.
## **Pension costs and other post-retirement benefits**
The Charity operates a defined contribution pension scheme. Contributions are charged to the income and expenditure account as they become payable in accordance with the rules of the scheme.
## **Debtors**
Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount due after any trade discount offered. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid net of any trade discount due.
## **Cash at bank and in hand**
Cash at bank and in hand includes cash and short term highly liquid investments with a short maturity of three months or less from the date of acquisition or opening of the deposit or similar account.
## **Creditors and provisions**
Creditors and provisions are recognised where the charity has a present obligation resulting from a past event that will probably result in the transfer of funds to a third party and the amount due to settle the obligation can be measured or estimated reliably. Creditors and provisions are normally recognised at their settlement amount after allowing for any trade discounts due.
## **Operating Leases**
Rentals applicable to operating leases are charged to the SOFA over the period in which the cost is incurred. Details of operating lease commitments are shown in the notes to the accounts.
## **Legacies and Donations**
Legacies are accounted for as incoming resources once the receipt of the legacy becomes reasonably certain. This will be once confirmation has been received from the representatives of the estates that payment of the legacy will be made, or property transferred and once all conditions attached to the legacy have been fulfilled.
## **Significant Estimates and Judgements**
The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires the management to make estimated and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results in the future could differ from these estimates. The management are satisfied that there are no significant judgements or estimates in addition to those that management has made in the process of applying the Group's accounting policies.
