People Matter IW is the Island’s User Led Organisation. People Matter IW is here to support the Island’s community in having a voice and to ensure that they are heard when there may be planned changes to services that they are provided with. This collating of Service Users’ views is varied to ensure that there is opportunity for all members to get their concerns and voices heard.

As a User Led organisation People Matter IW is managed by a board of Directors and Trustees all of whom are either Service Users or Carers or have their own disability. This is a major requirement of the ‘21 ULO Design Criteria’.

Manager’s Report

This has continued to be a difficult year with the closure Independent Living Centre closure on 1[st] April 2023. We have continued to develop the Learning Disability Support Service and Personal Assistant Recruitment and Employment Service, Find Your Care, and received funding to continue the We Stand Together Training, building on the success of the pilot project, partnering with Family Action – PARCS in Portsmouth. We have also been awarded funding in partnership with the Citizens Advice and Age UK IW to support them to provide Information, Advice and Guidance.

People Matter IW have adopted the following as our shared values:

People Matter IW: We listen, you decide

Led by you the users of local services
Helps you to obtain person centred services to keep your independence
A caring, professional organisation working to national quality standards for you

Providing you with relevant, unbiased easy to understand information, guidance and support
We provide your link to making sure that service users voices are heard where decisions are made

I am proud that, with the support of our Directors and the fantastic staff team, all of whom understand and believe in supporting people with support needs within our community, People Matter IW are the key local organisation in ensuring the users of services are listened to.

The Independent Living Centre closed its doors in April 2023 so changed a lot for the services we provide.

We are looking forward to new projects and challenges and another year supporting people who need a voice. Terri Baker – Manager – People Matter IW

Groups and Membership report

Since its inception, in 2011, People Matter IW has always been an effective membership and User-Led organisation. Historically we have provided personalised and detailed health and social care related Advice, Information and Guidance to the ultimate benefit of very many individuals, both our members and the public, without discrimination. People Matter IW has also always organised, on behalf of its members, as requested and required, a number of mainly user-led groups representing a wide range of lsland residents with differing support needs.

The various forums we have consistently worked with include groups for people with Learning Disabilities, Autism, Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, Older People, Carers, Long Term Conditions and Parents Voice IW. This has usually involved all People Matter IW staff and volunteers in about 250 meetings a year, in various locations, across the full range of groups. In many instances, we have provided a comprehensive and professional administrative support, follow-up and minute taking service also chasing-up and dealing with various ‘action points’ between meetings.

This has sometimes involved challenging statutory bodies, on behalf of both individuals and groups which was the very reason that People Matter IW was originally set-up – to be the voice of the Island’s Service Users. We have always looked to see how we might help either existing groups or new groups and have been keen to hold discussions with other user-led groups which we may be able to assist. In addition to our regular activities we have, in recent times hosted many one-off ‘focus groups’ or ‘task and finish’ groups, on behalf of other organisations, such as Age UKIW, the Isle of Wight Council, the local NHS or the Hampshire and Isle of Wight Integrated Care Board, for specific projects or purposes. These have

always been well attended and well received by our members and have always proved to be worthwhile avenues of ideas sharing, consultation and, most importantly, co-production.

It is absolutely vital that specific and effective two-way communication is maintained at all times. We have always successfully facilitated this through our groups as the professionals have always been a good source of reassurance and information for our members.

People using statutory services actually have an absolute right to a direct say in any and all changes in service delivery that may affect them both as groups and as individuals. This should never be ignored or forgotten. “Nothing about me without Me” is a wonderful motto. Whatever happens in the future I am confident that People Matter IW will continue to embrace and assist this process known as ‘Person Centred’.

Quality Assurance and ISO 9001:2015

ISO 9001 sets out very detailed criteria for a quality management system. It can be used by any organisation, large or small, regardless of its field of activity. ISO 9001 is a Centre for Assessment Vv) Iso9001 | aneatag globally recognised standard which is based on several 23/2208 0120 quality management principles including a strong customer focus, the motivation and implication of top management, the process approach and, importantly, continual improvement. Using ISO 9001:2015 helps People Matter IW to ensure each of our customers gets a consistently good, high-quality service.

Our most recent Surveillance Audit took place on Thursday the 31[st ] of August 2023. I am very pleased to report positive news and confirm that People Matter IW have been successfully recertificated for another year but we will be lapsing this from September 2024 as we will be no longer funded to provide the same service by the Local Authority from April 2024.

Autism Inclusion Matters and Sensory Library

AIM has continued to expanded and develop over the last year. During that growth we have held on to our core identity and leadership as an entirely Autistic Peoples Organisation Autism Inclusion Matters We have kept to our aims and values and reflect regularly on our purpose to ensure that we continue in the right direction. This has at times been challenging.

We currently have 5 autistic members of paid staff and 4 volunteers. We currently have over 2000 followers on social media with a high level of engagement and a comprehensive website with high traffic.

From April 2024 we have had 338 separate individuals attend our building for groups, sessions and workshops. Many of these are recurring visits making 835

visits overall. We are closed in August so that is 835 visits in 5 months, or 167 people a month. This figure does not include people attending online sessions, or those attending professional training. It also doesn’t include enquiries through our webform, or other messaging platforms which we provide support through. Our building does not have the capacity to provide the number of sessions or see the number of people that we need to see.

We are currently understaffed which is putting significant pressure on the current team. We are extremely grateful to our colleagues in the NHS who have provided a temporary staff member during this difficult time. We recently held a recruitment day which was extremely successful we have had applications for volunteers which we are currently processing and have had many expressions of interest for our paid posts once they are formalized.

Social and support groups

We are currently running many different groups and sessions detailed below along with the funding source. Items marked with a star are those we currently do not know if we have funding to continue from April 2024.

RAISE Respecting Autistic Identity in Schools and Education – NHS England AIM has been thrilled to work with Parents Voice and Youth Trust on the RAISE project, part of the national Autism in Schools Project. The project has many aspects, our main role has been the delivery of training to the chosen cohort of schools and the children and young people’s element. We are very pleased that year 4 funding has been agreed and we will continue to deliver our training to more schools throughout 2025. Thanks to the hard work of Jude and Layla our young peoples element has had amazing feedback and outcomes and is and outstanding piece of work.

Training

We have delivered training to a number of organisations over the past year and the feedback has been incredibly positive. We have been delivering Oliver McGowan Tier 1 Part 2 Interactive Webinars with People Matter IW and have 2 training trios. We have also delivered training with the NHS as part of the National Development Team for inpatient Services.

Autism Partnership Board and forums

This Partnership Board is organised and run by Autistic people, The meetings are well liked and often very busy.

We are also heavily involved as experts by experience in many groups and meetings. The number of forums and need for participation has increased and put additional pressure on us, as the absolute need for lived experience voices to speak up when decisions are being made that impact our islands communities has become paramount.

Sensory Library The Sensory Library continues to be popular and successful and is managed by our volunteer coordinator.

We would like to extend our sincere thanks to People Matter IW for their continued support and faith in us and especially to Terri. We very much appreciate everything you do to help us in our journey.

Personal Assistant Recruitment and Employment Service (PARES)

We are pleased to report that Lea Fairclough has been employed as the new PARES Co-Ordinator, she has previously worked for PMIW in a range of different roles. A second admin assistant has also been employed to work solely with our new Continuing Health Care Clients and Personal Assistants.

The partnership between PARES and CHC continues to evolve, with us currently supporting 6 CHC clients (all with complex health and medical care needs) and employing 12 new Personal Assistants who provide the care required for these clients. The hard work that Carla put into preparing this transition has paid off. There are more in the process of transferring to PARES, due to the success of the initial group of clients.

Alongside these, our original PARES clients continue to receive the high level of person-centred care that PARES are committed to. They remain a mixture of selffunding, PHB and Access to Work.

In March/April 2023 PARES Personal Assistants provided 553 hours of support.

In March/April 2024 PARES Personal Assistants provided 2832 hours of support.

PARES has placed a larger advert than normal (incorporating what was Find Your Care) in the Isle of Wight Care Services Directory 2024, which hopefully will generate more clients, but for now, word of mouth amongst the CHC clients and referrals from CHC staff is increasing our client/PA numbers monthly.

Learning Disability Support Centre

geollty Supp, The LDSC was started in June 2022 to provide support and e @ Q 4 é education for adults with learning disabilities such as autism, é c 7 q “NS e 4 =* ADHD, and other problems as there was very limited choice around support, education, training, work, and volunteering opportunities. A lot of work went into assessing current needs by running groups prior to opening the centre and an open drop in for anyone interested was held at Holyrood Hall, Hall High Street, Newport IW. The information gained from these groups was fed into the Learning Disability Partnership Group (LDPG) so that people in charge of services listen to what is being said, People Matter IW aim to get people talking to make services better.

People Matter IW founded the LDSC and became an ASDN (Award Scheme Development and Accreditation Network) accredited learning centre to meet some of these needs locally.

2023 saw the start of the ASDAN Living Independently Course that is aimed to help develop and understanding of independent living skills and issues which covered:

Earning & Spending Money
Keeping Track of Your Money
Making Financial Choices
A Place of Your Own
Mental Health & Wellbeing
Cooking on a Budget
Career Management
Preparing for the World of Work

2024 we are delivering the ASDAN Enterprise Course

This was to support the students to develop themselves through activities and studies to find their inner entrepreneurs. Modules are:

Entrepreneurial Skills
Generating Enterprising Ideas

Enterprise Planning
Enterprise & Business
Enterprise in Action
Enterprise Evaluation

We have carried out a lot of crafting together to make items for enterprise activities. We are currently working on a host of items for the LDSC Christmas Fayre on December 12[th] , 2024. All are welcome to pop and buy. Interview Training has also been provided and some students were on the interview panel for the new NHS Learning Disability Lead.

Sessions delivered: Between for the 23-24 period, we delivered 108 sessions at the centre.

Free Taster Sessions : We offer free taster sessions for people to try out with us. Also, a multitude of work and voluntary work taster sessions were held at local businesses such as Liz Earle, The Garlic Farm, Wild Heart Animal Sanctuary, Storeroom.

Educational Outing to Quarr Abbey and Wight Aviation Museum.

Some of the students now have permanent voluntary roles and employment such as National Heritage - Osborne House, Charity Shops, Newport Minster and Oliver McGowan Training.

The centre is open for most of the usual school & college holidays to maintain sustainability and continuity in learning. We have also delivered individualised support plans for Sexually Inappropriate Behaviours. These come by referral.

Students take an active part in attending the Learning Disability Partnership Group representing the centre.

Co-Production: Students attending the centre also are involved in Coproduction with local council and NHS since Project Fusion began.

Certificates are awarded at the end of each module to celebrate with NonAlcoholic Prosecco.

Plans for 2025

The centre has a new educational support programme starting in January 2025 aimed at young people 16-25 years with a learning disability which is 7 weeks. Young People Matter. Feel free to get in touch if you would like to know more.

Information 1[st] Aid Annual Report

The role of Information 1[st] Aid was introduced by PMIW following the closure of the Independent Living Centre at the end of March 2023 which enabled the

retention of one of the members of staff in an administrative role initially for 12 hours a week.

PMIW was successful in securing a bid from the Isle of Wight Council to help work alongside Citizens Advice Isle of Wight and Age UK to support Island residents get help and access the information that they need as many people are unable to do this themselves on the internet.

Since July 2023, PMIW have been working in partnership with Citizens Advice Isle of Wight in providing remote support for their local helpline. In November 2023 we were issued with electronic equipment to fulfil this role. Initially, 2 days of support was provided per week until the end of December 2023 when it increased to 3 days support from the beginning of 2024.

In the months from November 2023 – March 2024, 166 queries were recorded by PMIW for Citizens Advice IW and this number has continued to increase since.

We also regularly provide information, advice & guidance in care, health & wellbeing and equipment loan to people who either drop in or by phone or email enquiries. This data is collected and reported back to Citizens Advice Isle of Wight.

In the months from November 2023 – March 2024, 213 information, advice & guidance queries have been answered and 43 queries regarding Care Services responded to.
