Report of the Trustees for the year ended 31st March 2021
The trustees who are also directors of the charity for the purposes of the Companies Act 2006, present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31st March 2021. The trustees have adopted the provisions of 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).
OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES Public benefit
The Trustees have considered the objectives of Spectrum People and are satisfied that they are wholly for the public benefit under section 17 (5) of the Charity Act.
ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE
The charity continued to support many beneficiaries, with its' workload increasing and innovating as the pandemic took effect. Achievements include the following:
-
Swiftly adapting to remote working in mid-March 2020 with all employees working throughout the year and numbers of volunteers and placement students increasing.
-
Ensuring Appletree Garden developed and grew. Despite closing for 6 months of the year well over 3000 hours was donated by NCS (National Citizen Service) and Askern Bryan FLEX groups as well as over 100 full days from individual volunteers. The garden was open 3 days a week - when the pandemic allowed - and will open 4 days a week in summer 2021.
-
Art therapy support to the FAC (Families Achieving Change) service for young people, based at The Hut, Airedale; 1 qualified and 2 art therapists in training provide this increasingly important support helping a total of 14 individuals from October to March 2021. The support continues until at least summer 2021.
-
Virtual events took over with Spectrum People taking part in WF Talks, ArtWalk at Home and Blooming Monday and taking a lead role in organising and running the IVAR (Institute for Voluntary Action Research) event in October titled How can the voluntary and community sector and statutory sector maximise opportunities to work more effectively together?
-
On behalf of the third sector in Wakefield leading the initiative to get Safe Space, Wakefield conceived, designed and commissioned by Wakefield CCG. Following the successful procurement process Spectrum People partnered with Touchstone and Gasped to mobilise this offer, which started virtually in October 2020 and at the Art House in December. From the initial 3 evening offer the CCG confirmed early in 2021 that funding was available for 7 evenings and mobilisation is underway to get this in place from May 2021.
-
With the first lockdown increasing social isolation social media became key with the Spectrum People and Appletree Facebook pages active and attracting input; posts are made 3 times a week.
-
Using funding from Creative Wakefield to support through Art Therapy with 18 individuals engaging. Together and Apart in June 2021 - an exhibition of artwork - will feature a number of those supported through our Creative Connections theme.
-
Helping design and run the 2nd year of Postcards from Wakefield in May 2020 with a virtual offer attracting many contributions including singing and dancing postcards.
-
Completing the final year project managing the Wakefield VCS Social Prescribing project with the 4 charities involved adapting their roles as the pandemic increased need.
-
Obtaining increased funding including from Spectrum Community Health, WMDC and Live Well Wakefield.
-
Virtual team meetings were held weekly during 2020, reducing to fortnightly in 2021. Seven virtual board meeting and one virtual board to board meeting with Spectrum CIC took place.
-
A total of 2176 support sessions were given during the year including 803 phone supports and 353 face to face sessions.

FINANCIAL REVIEW
Reserves policy
The reserves fund remains at £40,000.
FUTURE PLANS
These include:
-
Ensuring that social prescribing continues for those with enduring mental health issues and major barriers in their lives, and in particular working with Tieve Tara GP practice in Airedale to support their patients.
-
Holding virtual group 'get togethers' encouraging engagement and communication and extending these into the groups meeting at Appletree Garden as the lockdown eases.
-
Running the third year of Postcards from Wakefield on behalf of the Positive Mental Health Network and in collaboration with an increasing number of partners.
-
Collaborative working and leadership with local organisations to best support individuals as they re-engage in the district and the emotional effects of the pandemic continue to impact.
-
Continuing to lead and contribute to Safe Space as it mobilises to 7 evening working.
-
Developing arts based and green space activities using Appletree and Fryston Trails with the support of a pipeline of placement students including art therapists and others.
-
Developing the partnership working with Spectrum Community CIC further, including through the QualP project and as the CIC takes on Tieve Tara medical practice.
Following a board discussion in May 2021 Trustees agreed the following:
-
An audit of need, both at that point and projected after lockdown, would be undertaken; it is planned that this would be a project by University of Huddersfield MSc students.
-
Work to measure the existing objectives versus capacity would take place prior to the July 2021 board meeting.
These actions should provide the board of trustees with a clearer understanding to enable them to make informed decisions and action plans for the future.
