Chairs Statement

I became Chair of this dynamic, responsive and highly effective charity in April 2021.

I have previously acknowledged my debt to the outgoing Chair, Anthony Levy, for overseeing the necessary, but challenging, changes which had to be made in 2020/21 in order to adapt to and survive the first year of the COVID-19 pandemic. The pandemic continued to impact our work in 2021/22. However, with a reduced cost base, and with, in particular, the ability to deliver our co-produced courses virtually, we were able to continue actively to support self-management for many people with long-term health conditions.

During 2021/22 we worked hard to assess the likely impact of the re-organisation of the NHS which subsequently took place in July 2022. Self management does not only benefit the people who undertake our courses. We believe it is beneficial for the whole health and social care system, tending to reduce demand on primary care and hospital services. It is a frustration that more NHS commissioners have not yet invested in our services in order to save cost and effort elsewhere in the system. In addition, when there are major changes within the NHS, new commissioning arrangements and budgets take time to become settled. These were limiting factors to developing our work further in 2021/22.

We are grateful for the commitment shown to us by existing NHS funders, and delighted that in the summer of 2022 we were successful in a re-tendering exercise in South East London. We are clear that, while remaining committed to working with the NHS, we intend to develop more partnership working and to diversify our funding base in the coming years.

I would particularly like to pay tribute to my trustee colleagues, including Marc Berryman who stepped down in August 2021, and to Lisa Quinlan-Rahman and Jane Brooks who left in July 2022 after reaching their maximum terms of service. We recruited three new trustees in early 2022, who bring a diversity of new perspectives.

We continue to be immensely grateful for our volunteers who have been involved in co-production of our courses, and contribute as peer leaders. Thanks are due to Ian Silver, and all his colleagues for their commitment, passion for the cause, and resilience in what have continued to be challenging times.

We have a clear strategy for the future, built upon our 20 years of expertise in supported selfmanagement, and we look forward with confidence.

Trustees Report

Our Vision

A society in which everyone who lives with one or more long-term conditions has access to the high-quality self-management education and support that they need, enabling them to live healthier and happier lives.

Our Purpose

Our Impact

Our Strategic Goals

Our Values & Behaviours

Person Centred Theory of Change

Our Theory of Change has been developed from around 20 years of experience of delivering self-management in England. We always place the person at the centre of what we do, and this is reflected in our approach.

We believe that understanding a person’s needs and how activated they are in their own health and care should be recognised at the start of a pathway of support for long-term conditions. By using recognised evaluation methodologies, we are able to establish this right at the start of our pathways of care.

We offer a range of self-management education packages tailored to the levels of activation, making them relevant to the needs of each group whilst also ensuring exceptionally high levels of retention and value for

Page 3 of 27

money to the health and care system. Whilst other services may offer a lower unit cost at recruitment, our unit cost at completion offers better value to commissioners due to the higher retention of participants and the outcomes delivered.

Our range of programmes are trialled, researched, and validated by us or in partnership with others in health and social care for individual or multiple conditions, groups not able to access support and employers.

Our programmes are designed to provide practical tools to increase a person’s skills, knowledge and confidence in managing a long-term condition, including:

Sustainable pathways of care are crucial to ensuring a person has access to on-going support and we re-assess a person’s needs and level of activation after completing one of our programmes of support. This in turn allows us to signpost and onward refer a person to further support beyond the life of our programme.

We know, from the feedback we receive, that attending one of our programmes can often have a profound impact often with the smallest of goals being achieved.

The Challenge

One in four people have two or more chronic health conditions (multimorbidity) increasing to two thirds of people aged 65 years and over. It is estimated that 17% of all UK adults will have two or more chronic health conditions by 2035. Multi Morbidity presents a significant challenge to the health and care system and contributes to over 50% of G.P visits, nearly 80% of medicines prescriptions and 56% of unplanned A&E admissions.

Despite a continued focus within health and care policy on health inequalities, those with the lowest wealth have a 47% higher chance of multimorbidity and a 90% higher chance of having multimorbidity with 10 or more functional limitations compared with the most affluent.

Multimorbidity is not defined by age either, with 35% of those experiencing multiple chronic conditions aged between 55 years and 65.

Additionally, evidence shows that 30% of people with two or more chronic conditions also experience a coexisting mental health issues.

The impact of the last year on those who have one or more long-term condition cannot be underestimated. The COVID-19 pandemic has had a disproportionate impact on those experiencing existing inequality, particularly in areas of economic disadvantage and in Black, Asian and other minority ethnic groups[4] . This has been devastating, particularly considering the impact of inequality on the propensity and severity of long-term conditions.

Those with long-term conditions have faced a higher risk of severe symptoms of COVID-19, increased isolation, reduced access to planned treatment or ongoing support and ultimately a higher risk of neglect in the management of long-term conditions.

Collectively we now face the biggest challenge in population health in modern times. The health and care system has, and continues to, rightly focus on supporting those with severe COVID-19 symptoms whilst

Page 4 of 27

delivering a national vaccination programme. As a result, the NHS waiting list now stands at more than 5 million people, with concern growing that the number of people could go on to exceed 15 million.

Compounding this is the increasing numbers of people experiencing prolonged symptoms of COVID-19. Estimates of the number of people experiencing long COVID vary from between 1% (ZOE) of those who have tested positive and 10% (ONS). Regardless, long COVID presents a new challenge for the health and care system and one that presents complexity of symptoms and respective care.

Our Response

Our ability to adapt to the external challenges faced has been further strengthened throughout this year. Our commissioning partners have again provided their support throughout the year but this has not reduced our ambition to continue to provide our much needed supported self-management (SSM) services more widely and through a more diverse range of funding mechanisms.

Our online virtual courses have continued to provide an effective alternative to face to face course delivery, particularly throughout the social distancing measures in place to mitigate COVID spread.

In November 2021, we were able to secure funding to deliver a hybrid model of support with our partners Mental Fight Club (MFC) to support those people experiencing mental ill health during the winter period in the London Borough of Southwark. With a funding application turnaround of 48 hours, we created the service design, referral pathways and commenced delivery within 2 weeks. Immediately after the funding award, social restrictions were again put in place in response to the Omicron COVID variant.

In response, we switched delivery to virtual courses and continued to provide support until restrictions were lifted.

Our resilience is strengthened by the passion, knowledge and experience of our staff and volunteers who are exemplars of our belief in the importance of supported self-management, which has been continually highlighted throughout the COVID pandemic.

The future

For the past 2 years we have demonstrated our ability to adapt to exceptional challenges, innovating and developing alternative ways to provide our supported self-management at a time when it has been needed the most.

Our services are provided predominantly on behalf of NHS commissioners and because of the significant transformation of NHS structure to Integrated Care Boards, we have experienced delays to the awarding of contracts at the start of the 2022/23 year. Whilst the NHS continued to be a source of considerable support throughout the pandemic, the changes being made within the health and care system led to contract awards being placed on hold at the start of this financial year, until the new legal structure came in to affect in July 2022.

This placed a burden on the charity’s finances, with a need to retain the knowledge, expertise and experience of delivery teams, in readiness for services to be commissioned and started. We have continually pushed for charity’s to be provisioned through longer term contracts and whilst this can be achieved, commonly through public procurement exercises, often our services are secured through 12 month funded cycles. This presents risk to the charity and makes investment and innovation difficult.

Page 5 of 27

Whilst our portfolio of services does include multi year services, we now aim to secure a greater proportion of our core services with multi year funding commitments. This will provide a solid financial base from the which can begin to diversify our income whilst further the development of our supported self-management services.

This year (2022) saw one of our key commissioning partners undertake an independent review of our service provision. The review was important to us and aligns with our aim to offer the best possible standard of support to the communities with which we work, whilst also ensuring we offer the best possible value to our commissioning partners.

The review concluded that we provide ‘exceptional value for money and the highest standard of quality to the populations with which we work and the wider NHS system’.

We have always strived to offer the best possible service and the outcome of the independent review is testament to the exceptional hard work that our staff and volunteers do, often in a challenging environment, whilst also manging or caring for someone with, their own long-term condition(s).

Whilst the 2020/21 and 2021/22 years have proved to be challenging, we now move towards the end of the 2022/23 financial year with over 50% of our contracted services for 2023/24 confirmed, the highest it has ever been this early in a proceeding financial year.

This now provides a solid foundation from which we can focus on addressing some our strategic priorities and ambitions, notably, diversifying our income streams and building on an already small, but successful research base.

Financial Performance & Review

This year we recorded a deficit of (£11.5k) that was funded from reserves. This is lower than the previous year (£13k) but reflects the continued investment made in developing our virtual courses to continue to provide much need support through the COVID pandemic. Income was £369.5k, down on the previous year’s performance (373k).

Reserves

The charity needs to hold sufficient reserves to provide adequate financial stability and the means for it to meet its charitable objectives for the near future. The charity’s reserve policy is to maintain a level of reserves to cover 3 months’ staff and running costs which amount to £124k. The total reserves as of 31st March 2022 are £175k (2021: £186k) all of which are unrestricted and within the parameters of the reserves policy.

The reserves position is regularly reviewed to ensure that they are adequate to fulfil the charity’s continuing obligations. The reserves are continually aligned with actual operating costs.

Fundraising

In accordance with the Charities Act 2016, The Trustees confirm the charity’s compliance with the fundraising approach set out by the Charity Commission guidance ‘Charity fundraising: a guide to trustee duties (CC20)’ voluntary scheme of regulation.

The charity does not source funding through direct mailing/contact individual donors, legacies, campaigning, or any other public facing activity and as such is currently not registered with the Fundraising Regulator.

All fundraising activity is monitored weekly by the Chief Executive and regularly by the Trustees. Additionally, the Fundraising and Marketing Committee provides oversight to the Head of Sales and Marketing and Chief Executive ensuring compliance with the voluntary scheme of regulation.

The Trustees can report that no complaints have been received in relation to fundraising activity. In complying with the Data Security and Protection requirements, the charity seeks explicit consent for an individual to be contacted regarding any communication, including fundraising activity. The charity supports those populations experiencing significant challenges because of having one or more long-term conditions, including those experiencing mental health issues. The charity has a duty of care to its beneficiaries, particularly those considered vulnerable and, at this time, the charity does not consider contacting individuals as a part of its fundraising activity. Should fundraising from individuals be considered, the Trustees would apply safeguards including, but not limited to, suppressions under the Fundraising Preference Service.

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 discounts due.

Cash at the bank and in hand

Cash at bank and cash 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 recognized where the charity and group 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 recognized at their settlement amount after allowing for any trade discount due.

2. JUDGEMENT IN APPLYING ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND KEY RESOURCES OF ESTIMATION UNCERTAINTY

Estimates and judgements are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Although these estimates are based on management’s best knowledge of the amount, events or actions, actual results may ultimately differ from those estimates. The trustees consider the following items to be areas subject to estimation and judgement.

Depreciation:

The usual economic lives of tangible fixed assets are based on management’s judgement and experience. When management identifies that actual useful lives differ materially from the estimates used to calculate depreciation, that charge is adjusted retrospectively. As tangible fixed assets are not significant variances between actual and estimated useful economic lives will not a material impact on the operating results. Historically no changes have been required.
