Limited Liability Company Registered in England. Company Registration No: 8354771 **2** ## **Objects and Activities** The Ottery Help Scheme (OHS) exists to provide support and help to any resident in the area served by the Coleridge Medical Centre: Ottery St Mary and its surrounding parishes. A wide range of services are provided through the time and labour given by volunteers, managed by four members of staff (Chief Officer, Co-ordinator, Community Co-ordinator and Office Manager). OHS also employs Home Services Assistants to deliver the home help service. ## **Volunteers** We support 120 volunteers who offer their time to help where needed, often across two or three of our services. Ottery Help Scheme could not exist without the help from volunteers, their flexibility in assisting others has been very much appreciated during the pandemic. Volunteers in all service areas hold enhanced DBS certificates and undertake regular training. ## **People we support** We have 900 clients on our database. Many of our clients are older, can be vulnerable and frail and therefore often have complex needs. During the pandemic, we have seen a greater demand for our services from younger people. ## **OUR SERVICES:** ## **Transport** Our Community Transport service continues to be very much in demand. Our volunteers take people to a wide range of medical appointments, from the local GP surgery through to hospitals across the area (though predominantly the Royal, Devon & Exeter hospital). We continue to be involved with the local vaccine roll-out and have taken many clients to vaccination sites. Across all of our transport services, we averaged around 90 journeys a week, with 60 drivers volunteering during the year. ## **Befriending/Carer Sitting** Home-based befriending and Carer sitting visits resumed during the year (though we still do some telephone befriending). We currently support around 30 people with our befriending and Carer Sitting volunteers. Referrals come through the Health and Social Care teams, health visitors, community nurses, GPs and through relatives and neighbours, as well as self-referrals. ## **Bereavement Support** We have 6 Bereavement support volunteers, all of whom are trained by Cruse. We produce our own bereavement booklet which provides advice on how to deal with the death of a loved one in both practical and emotional ways, as well as a list of local support services. The leaflet is _________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Ottery Help Scheme Patron: Sir John Evans QPM DL The Station, Mill Street, Ottery St Mary, Devon, EX11 1AH Tel: 01404 813041 Registered Charity No: 1150898. Limited Liability Company Registered in England. Company Registration No: 8354771 **3** distributed to those recently bereaved via the GP surgery and local Funeral Directors. We have seen an increase in demand for this service during the year. ## **Nail Cutting** The nail cutting service re-started during this year, with clinics taking place every week at Ottery St Mary hospital. ## **Memory Café** Our Memory Café is a place where those affected by memory loss can go, together with their Carers, to meet others and socialise. Activities take place that aim at stimulating the mind and memory, or we may invite a guest speaker to come and give a talk on a relevant topic or a local musician to do a performance. The Memory Café is attended each month by around 30 people, including Carers and local healthcare professionals. ## **Friendship Group** The monthly Friendship Group provides a friendly place for people to meet and socialise. Activities are arranged for each monthly session, supported by volunteers. The Friendship group is attended by around 30 people every month. ## **Prescription deliveries** We have continued to help with prescription collections and delivery, particularly to clients who were self-isolating/extremely vulnerable. This service was managed by our Coordinator and Office Manager. ## **Form Filling** Many people find form-filling a daunting task, especially if the forms are complex. Our volunteers mainly support people to apply for Carer Allowance. ## **Seated Exercise groups** We re-started our seated exercise groups. We run two a week, with 10 people attending each group. Our staff member choses a variety of different music to complement each session and we include social time for teas and coffees at the end of each group. ## **Home Services** OHS provides a paid-for Home Help Service which benefits the local community, and which will help us to develop as a sustainable organisation. Home Services includes cleaning, shopping, _________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Ottery Help Scheme Patron: Sir John Evans QPM DL The Station, Mill Street, Ottery St Mary, Devon, EX11 1AH Tel: 01404 813041 Registered Charity No: 1150898.

Funding received for this service until March 2022. ## _Devon County Council (DCC) Contract_ This grant has supported OHS to provide greater access to services that enhance service user’s independence and which assists in developing and maintaining their social relationships and individual needs. Funding was received up to the end of March 2022. ## _Minibus Management Contract_ This management contract with the Ottery and District Hospital League of Friends means that OHS manages the League of Friend’s specially adapted minibus, providing transport to those who have a need through disability, illness and/or vulnerability. The contract provides OHS with an important income. Other organisations with a S19 permit can hire the vehicle, bookings managed by the OHS Coordinator and Office Manager. ## **Donations** We are very fortunate to receive regular donations from individuals and from local organisations, who collect and fundraise on our behalf. We are extremely grateful to all of these individuals and groups who give financial support so generously to OHS. ## **Legacy Gifts** We received one legacy donation this year from a former volunteer, for which we were extremely grateful. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Ottery Help Scheme Patron: Sir John Evans QPM DL The Station, Mill Street, Ottery St Mary, Devon, EX11 1AH Tel: 01404 813041 Registered Charity No: 1150898.
