Review of the Charity’s Activities from the Trustees

This has been another busy year for the Charity – the second where impacts from the Pandemic have compelled us to change the way we deliver our services whilst, at the same time, emphasising their heightened need - both for isolated older people, and students desperate for volunteering opportunities. We are very grateful for the commitment and dedication shown by all our staff and volunteers who have worked so hard to make this happen.

We have been pleased to see that, despite the challenges of the Pandemic, the Charity’s models of online delivery have become well established and now include both students in the UK and overseas. This has enabled the Charity to increasingly support older isolated people in their own homes as well as in care homes and hospitals.

Through its links with schools, the Charity is increasingly adding significant value through volunteering opportunities for those interested in a career in healthcare at a time of real need for increased recruitment. Our work with those completing Duke of Edinburgh’s Awards, and other similar organisations, has demonstrated that the course is suitable for any students interested in a career where good people skills are a key requirement.

The scars left by Covid-19 in terms of isolation and mental health impact are having a lasting significant impact in terms of public health outcomes. We are therefore very supportive of the team in wanting to see face-to-face contact – and therefore a sense of community - return as soon as possible when conditions allow.

We are pleased to see the increase in income and the widening of the sources of funding which the team has achieved.

Trustees’ report for the year ended 31st July 2021

The trustees, who are also the directors of the company, present their report and financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31st July 2021. The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out in note 2 to the accounts and comply with the charity’s Memorandum and Articles, The Charities Act 2011 and 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).

Structure, governance and management

Kissing it Better is a Registered Charity in England & Wales (registered 3 September 2012) and a Company Limited by Guarantee. The charity is governed by its Memorandum and Articles incorporated on 19 July 2011.

The Trustees are responsible for governance and appoint staff as required for the day to day running of the charity.

Objectives and activities for the public benefit

The objects of the charity, as defined by the Memorandum of Association:

To promote and preserve the good health of patients receiving healthcare treatment from healthcare and other care providers (with particular regard to enhancing the patient experience) through the provision of education and practical advice to healthcare professionals in such ways as the charity trustees see fit, including without limitation the provision of online and physical forums to share, disseminate, discuss and promote best practice.

To achieve this:

• We work in partnership with hospitals and residential homes to introduce sustained and co-ordinated education and related activities which offer stimulation, conversation and companionship to patients and residents. This involves creating dynamic partnerships with colleges, universities, schools and community groups which directly benefit the existing provision of healthcare and enhance patient experience

• We provide education and training to healthcare staff and management

• We develop learning material and deliver training to enable us to spread our approach and innovation to healthcare providers, including primary care.

• We promote nationally the practical benefits of these ideas to the wellbeing and dignity of patients and residents in support of their clinical and nursing care

6

7

• We energise communities and develop their capacity to interact with and support their local hospitals and care home

• We provide opportunities for work experience and skill development to students and volunteers and raise awareness of the sensitive care of the elderly

• We provide a strong 'voice' on healthcare issues, as members of national health organisations, including the National Dignity Council, and two advisory groups to the Care Quality Commission

Questions we address:

• How can we constantly exceed patients’ expectations of their care environment?

• How can we spread swiftly transformative and innovative ideas across the whole healthcare system?

• How can we harness in this task the contributions of volunteers and the local community?

• How can we do all this in a way that uses health resources better without extensive extra funding?

• How to give student meaningful work experience and volunteering opportunities to enhance their self confidence and employability

Public Benefit

The Trustees confirm that they have complied with their duty under the Charities Act 2011 to have due regard to the public benefit guidance published by the Charity Commission.

The Kissing it Better Story

KiB is a healthcare charity and training provider, working to end the isolation of old age by bringing the generations together. Our imaginative healthcare projects make an immediate and lasting difference to the lives of older people. It is our mission to educate and inspire young people so they understand the challenges of old age, and realise the joy and fulfilment that comes from true inter-generational friendships. Many of the young people who work with us will go on to have a career in the caring professions; others use their knowledge to make life better for older friends, family and neighbours.

We started Kissing it Better in 2009 as a way of sharing hundreds of simple but powerful ideas that make a world of difference to older, vulnerable people in hospitals, care homes and the community. To bring our ideas to life, we created supported volunteering projects. These give young people a framework to use their talents to light up the day for older people, through music, art, pampering, drama or cookery, or just having a lovely chat.

We noticed that everyone benefits when the generations come together. The young feel valued and the old feel valuable when they get the chance to tell their stories and pass on their experience. Our projects make a difference to healthcare staff too: feedback shows they feel uplifted, energised and more connected to the people they’re caring for.

“The beauty of the Kissing It Better model is that everyone involved benefits – the patients and their carers, the staff, those giving their time, the provider as a whole and the community,” NHS England report.

All our projects are designed to create conversation and prompt reminiscence. This is important for all older people, but it’s vital for those living with dementia: they may struggle to take part in day-to-day conversations, but can happily reminisce about times gone by. Research shows that reminiscing can give people with dementia a sense of competence and confidence: recalling the past is a means of owning your own life story, and preserving your sense of self. Most people with dementia find

themselves living in a world where most things are done ‘for’ them or ‘to’ them. When they get the chance to share stories about their past, they feel that are the ones giving something to another human being, rather than always being the one who is receiving or listening.

Whatever the future brings for Kissing it Better, we will always work to bring joy and friendship through good conversation and the sharing of great inter-generational stories. In a complicated world, it’s good to know that simple things really can work wonders.

“KIB has the reputation and reach that is the envy of many organisations. Its ethos is powerful yet simple,” NHS England Report.

Report from CEO Jill Fraser

Our mission is to bring young and old together through inspirational and creative projects. So the pandemic challenged us like never before – nothing locks out social connections like a national lockdown.

Our team took up the challenge with gusto, turning problems presented by the pandemic into brand new ways of creating supportive communities. Over the past 12 months we’ve worked with thousands of new students through our online volunteering programme, and made a direct difference to the lives of more than a thousand older people through creative Zoom programmes and socially-distanced outdoor musical sessions.

Words can’t express the joy these projects produced. This short video sums it up .

Zoom has allowed us to connect with students in far-flung places: we’re now working with young people from Hull to Hong Kong; giving them the chance to connect with older people across the UK. Zoom also means we can work with individual older people living in their own homes as well as those in care settings. For a small charity, we now have a huge reach.

As the UK opens up again, we will continue to use Zoom as a delivery system, while also returning to care homes and hospitals to light up the day for those most in need.

So what do we actually do on our Zoom sessions? Our digital activities fall into three categories:

1 Creative Projects for Older People : These workshops and sessions give older people the chance to tackle music and drama projects; learn new skills, make new friends, and enjoy the wellbeing benefits of doing something different and challenging – all within the security of a supportive community. For example, in Yorkshire, we set up an intergenerational Digital Drama Group for isolated older people living in their own homes. Our first Zoom play was a comedy about three witches living in a retirement community – think Harry Potter meets The Golden Girls. Here’s what 83year-old Margaret Munroe said about the experience. “I love our group and look forward to seeing you all on zoom every week. It makes me so happy, thank you.

10

11

Before, I was lonely and feeling down, but being with you lovely people and laughing about the play has helped me enormously.”

We’ve also been running Singalong Pop Choir Sessions, where we learn to sing classic songs from the 60s and 70s, and some old musical favourites. During these workshops, we learn how to protect our voices; so important during times of enforced isolation. All our creative sessions have input from students and young professionals working in drama or the music industry, so older people get to spend time with inspirational young people they probably wouldn’t get the chance to meet in the real world. Even as the pandemic eases and the world opens up, we’ll will continue to run these virtual workshops because many of the older people involved have mobility challenges, so accessing these kind of experiences in real life is not an option for them.

2 Volunteering from Home Zoom Student Sessions: During the pandemic, we have been Zooming into care homes and isolated older people’s homes to have a chat and share stories, poetry, and gentle musical performances. Over the past 12 months, more than three thousand young volunteers have joined us. We asked them how these sessions had impacted their lives: 91% of respondents said that KiB Zooms had positively changed their attitudes towards older people; 86% said the sessions improved their mood and self-value, while helping them feel like part of a community; and 70% said that taking part in KiB Zooms had encouraged them to have more contact with older members of their family and community. As one KiB student volunteer up it: “I wasn’t sure what kinds of topics to talk about with elderly people and I wasn’t confident that they would even want to talk to me, or I might not like what they said. But in fact, we have so much to talk about and they have a lot of interesting viewpoints that I didn’t expect.”

We plan to keep up our digital volunteering opportunities; working on Zoom allows us to be more inclusive for students with special needs, and also means that young people living abroad can enjoy the KiB experience.

3 Teaching and Training: Our Enrichment & Volunteering Programme for Schools combines online lessons with virtual visits to care homes. This unique programme has proved a big success with schools, and is particularly popular with students looking towards a career in health and social care, public service or teaching. We now have a waiting list for this course.

11

12

We’ve also run our EVP programme for a group of young people not currently in education or training (NEETS) in the West Midlands; the feedback was overwhelmingly positive.

As soon as young people have completed our teaching programme , they can join our ongoing volunteering project, giving them the chance to deepen their learning, boost their CVs, and enhance the lives of older people.

We have even run our first KiB digital summer school, ‘That Was Our Summer’. This short video from one of our students sums up the experience.

Finally, I’m delighted to say that our partnerships with The Medic Portal website is now up and running. This is a highly respected online resource, run in partnership with the Royal Society of Medicine. We have created a range of virtual courses for their students.

Away from digital platforms, out in the real world, our young KiB singers and musicians have delivered hundreds of uplifting socially-distanced performances outside sheltered housing, community centres and care homes across the UK. Sometimes it’s been a simple gesture: an older person’s favourite song, sung through the window of their care home during lockdown. Sometimes, these KiB events have felt more like mini music festivals, especially created for older people, with bands playing vintage music in the spring sunshine. After one performance outside a Yorkshire retirement community, two ladies said they’d had their ‘hearts kissed better after the sadness and isolation of lockdown’.

Whatever the next year holds, we hope to keep doing what we have always done: bring joy, create connections and help young and old feel that they are part of a caring community.

NEXT STEPS

The year ahead will continue to be challenging but challenges can bring new opportunities. For instance, we can now reach more students, in more places, by creating Zoom conversations rather than face to face sessions. And if older people are computer-savvy, we can Zoom into their homes to help address loneliness which the Pandemic has accentuated.

In the coming year, we will continue to drive our work in the following key areas:

• Increase our Zoom teaching programmes for senior school students. We already have many large schools engaged in our enrichment and teaching courses and expect to work with many more in the coming months

• Extend our ‘live’ workshops for primary school children. ‘ When Great Granny Came to Stay’ is a lively, highly interactive session teaching pupils to gain a better understanding of what old age can mean, especially for older people with multiple disabilities (poor sight, poor hearing, poor speech, poor mobility, poor memories, etc.

• Encouraging more students with complex needs to join our sessions.

• Our ‘Volunteering from Home’ programme has enabled more students with complex needs to fully engage with our activities when, previously, transport and other issues, especially in the winter, sometimes made connecting with students in other parts of the country more challenging. Their first-hand knowledge of the issues facing those with a variety of disabilities has not only given more able-bodied students an insight into the daily issues they face, it has also helped some of the older people we connect with gain a better perspective of the disabilities they face in later life. To this end, we are working on a project with the charity Sense and the Birmingham organisation Millenium Point , to share knowledge so that all abilities and all ages gains from their shared experiences.

• To continue our close working with hospitals and care homes to allow a return to face to face contact for our volunteers as conditions increasingly allow

• Further develop our volunteering opportunities to help young people aspiring to careers in health and social care alongside our well established online approach and resources

Total income was £188,410 generating a deficit of £13,333. Closing reserves stood at £34,023. The deficit for the year reflected continued restrictions on fundraising events and further development of the charity’s online model of delivery which is now well established.

• Rank Foundation

• National Lottery

• Baron Davenport Trust

• Grocers charity

• Heart of England Community Foundation

• Edith/Jack Griffiths Trust

• London Catalyst

• AR Woolf Trust

• Wilmcote Charitrust

Trustees’ responsibilities in relation to the financial statements

The charity trustees (who are also the directors of Kissing It Better for the purposes of company law) are responsible for preparing a trustees’ annual report and financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).

Company law requires the charity trustees to prepare financial statements for each year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charitable company and of the incoming resources and application of resources. In preparing the financial statements, the trustees are required to:

• select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;

• observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP;

• make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;

• state whether applicable UK accounting standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements;

• prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in business.

The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and to enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
