Section D Achievements and erformance p

Summary of the main achievements of the charity during the year

SAFE South West was established in August 2013 to work with local communities, Devon and Somerset Fire and Rescue Service (DSFRS) and other Emergency Services around issues of community safety. During 2020 / 21 SAFE South West has continued with work regarding community resilience, home safety and with work to help ensure equipment no longer required by Fire & Rescue services is donated to overseas Fire & Rescue Services in need. New areas of work included Mindfulness Gardens at Fire Station and work related to COVID. Unfortunately, COVID and the resulting impact did mean less work with DSFRS fire cadets and 999 Academy which were suspended in early 2020 and in some areas of work. Important areas of development and delivery during 2020/21 included:

COVID

SAFE’s main role during COVID in 20/21 was to secure funding (£6,000) to support newly established volunteer groups making much needed PPE for hospitals, Care Homes etc. Thanks to this funding (secured from Somerset Community Foundation and Devon Community Foundation) SAFE was able to provide grants to 6 volunteer groups in Somerset and Devon meaning the groups were able to purchase material, thread etc and produce hundreds of sets of scrubs / PPE.

In addition, SAFE utilised its own unrestricted funding to provide financial to a range of groups and individuals, these included, volunteer group in West Dorset producing PPE, a group in Exeter producing face shields and to volunteers from a driving school in Bridgwater who were transporting finished PPE to where it was needed, support to a Bristol based group to transport PPE wash bags to Great Ormand Street Hospital, funding to a Somerset Home Start to help with costs of hand sanitizer and a one of grant to enable the mother of a young buy with Cystic Fibrosis to purchase desperately needed exercise mats to enable him to exercise at home I.e. unable to attend school.

Mindfulness Gardens at Fire Stations

Firefighting can be a dangerous and stressful job. Having a space to unwind, chat, relax and carry out gardening (a proven help to good mental health) can be a valuable addition to a Fire Station. Several years ago the concept of Mindfulness Gardens at Fire Stations, where the gardens were created and tended by Firefighters was introduced by the London Fire Service. SAFE adopted this concept and formed a funding partnership with the local Fire Brigade Union and DSFRS Sports and Social Club to make an initial £6,000 in small grants available to DSFRS Stations wanting to create a Mindfulness Garden at their Station. In addition, SAFE provided advice / templates to assist Fire Station personnel in making approaches to local companies for assistance. This approach proved very successful with B&Q providing fantastic support via a number of their stores. Within the year gardens were designed and constructed at Bridgwater, Williton (a memorial garden to a firefighter) Middlemoor (Exeter) Greenbank (Plymouth) Torquay and Exmouth Fire Stations.

Water Rescue Equipment

Exeter Quay is a fantastic resource in the heart of the city and is visited by thousands of local people each year. A range of activities can be found and enjoyed, including water sports, cycling, walking, cafes, restaurants and pubs. As with any water resource, there is a risk of falling into the water, being injured and

drowning. DSFRS staff attend incidents at the Quay every year and sadly there have been fatalities. Several years ago DSFRS provided staff in local pubs on the Quay in how to use a Throwline and safely (ie without entering the water) rescue someone in the water and Throwlines were provided to these establishments. However, after closing time this service was not available. The introduction of Throwlines along the Quay bank was suggested and SAFE took on this as a potential project. A small working group of SAFE, DSFRS and Exeter City Council looked at the issue and it was decided to install 5 Throwline Boards, each with a Throwline and also a 13 metre long telescopic rescue pole, total cost £9,000. SAFE launched a Crowdfunding appeal (raised £750) sought funding from the working groups partners and secured support and funding from South West Ambulance Service Trust, Devon and Cornwall Police, Environment Agency, The Prospect (a local pub) Devon County Council and South West Emergency Services Collaboration. The new lifesaving equipment was ordered in February 2021 and will be installed early in the 21/22 financial year.

Community Resilience

In 20/21, SAFE South West continued to administer the Somerset Prepared grant fund – previously known as The Community Resilience In Somerset Partnership (CRISP) grant fund. The fund provides small grants to communities in Somerset to help enable them to be more resilient in the event of an emergency e.g. flooding Emergencies can happen and the emergency services will always have to prioritise those in greatest need during an emergency, especially where life is in danger. There will be times when a community may affected by an emergency but lives are not in immediate danger. During this time, individuals and communities may need to rely on their own resources to ensure they are able to cope with the consequences of the emergency. Many communities already spontaneously help one another in times of need, but experience has shown that those who have spent time planning and preparing for this are better able to cope, and recover more quickly In Somerset a number of agencies and authorities e.g. Somerset County Council, DSFRS, Police, Environment Agency etc have come together as Somerset Prepared to help communities plan and prepare. They provide a range of help and advice including help in writing an emergency plan, advice on specific risks and hazards, case studies & contacts in other communities who have made themselves resilient and in addition provide small grants to help with the costs of items that help increase the resilience of the community. The grant fund is primarily intended to help with the costs of small capital items and equipment e.g. boots, protective clothing, sandbags and sandbag hoppers, radios, snow shovels, equipment sheds and defibrillators. However, it is appreciated that it is also important that members of the community who are helping in a time of emergency are well trained. Grant aid can therefore be provided towards training costs. During 20/21, 4 grants totalling £4812 were awarded to local community groups.

Safer Homes

TAR

March 2012

Section D Achievements and erformance p

During 20 / 21 SAFE South West continued to support the Safer Homes project in partnership with Somerset County Council, Public Health and DSFRS. The project provides and fits a range of Home Safety Equipment for vulnerable families with young children in Somerset. The equipment includes Stairgates, Fireguards, window restrictors, cupboard locks, corner cushions, draw cord shortners and bath mats. The project also enables the families to receive a free Home Safety Visit from DSFRS which includes the fitting of smoke alarms and other equipment and advice on a range of issues such as smoking, cooking, heating and escape plans.

Funding for the project has been provided by Somerset County Council to SAFE South West with DSFRS staff fitting the new equipment. During 20 /21 SAFE secured additional funding from Devon County Council to enable similar work to continue to take place in Exeter and a new partnership was formed with Barnardo's (funding via Plymouth City Council) to develop this valuable area of work in Plymouth.

British Virgin Islands / Overseas aid

During 2020/21 SAFE maintained contact with the BVI and with those working to provide support, training and assistance to Nepal and the Algarve. Unfortunately, the COVID epidemic did mean that this area of work had to be put on hold for 20/21.

Cadets

There are units, Frome, Ilfracombe, Plymouth, Tiverton and Wincanton offering exciting opportunities to young people. SAFE South West continues to support and helps raise funding for the units.

Cadets can normally join a unit when they enter year 9 (aged 13/14 years of age) and stay for at least a year. Fire Cadets provide young people with a range of skills throughout the programme, including teamwork, problem solving and communication. Fire Cadets is open to all young people from a mix of backgrounds representative of the local community. The programme is designed to reduce anti-social behaviour in the local area by enhancing key citizenship skills in young people through a structured and varied range of fire and rescue service-led activities which help prepare young people for adult life. Cadets gain the confidence to interact with their community and become ambassadors, teaching people the importance of fire safety and the consequences of anti-social behaviour, like arson and making hoax 999 calls. Cadet units are educational and follow Fire Service standards of discipline, but they are also fun and hugely enjoyable. COVID restrictions have put a hold on these activities.

Overall the Aims of Fire Cadets are:

Provide the opportunity to learn about, engage with and experience the fire and rescue service.
Support young people to make a positive contribution to society.
Enable young people to gain skills, knowledge and positive experiences in a fun, safe and secure environment.
Support young people to develop life skills, increase confidence and raise self-esteem.
Inspire young people to make positive life choices for their futures

Out of the Blue

SAFE South West supported the 2 Out Of The Blue (OOTB) Units in Ilfracombe Bideford. OOTB is a 10 week Emergency Service cadet’s course aimed at 12/ 14 year olds and often based at a Fire Station, with input and sessions facilitated by Devon and Cornwall Police, South West Ambulance Service, DSFRS, and the Environment Agency, this input varies slightly between Ilfracombe and Bideford. The participants learn about the role of the different emergency services, basic first aid skills, develop team work skills as well as building confidence and aspirations. The main outcomes for participants are to raise selfesteem, provide high quality role modelling for young people and teach the disciplines of time keeping and commitment. Young people will learn about contributing to a team, skills for adult life and citizenship. COVID restrictions have put a hold on these activities.

Aims 1. To provide knowledge and skills for young people which will help raising their aspirations, promote positive self-image and enhancing the core values of respect, inclusion, safety and community service. 2. To understand and use appropriate transferable skills to help young people to be good citizens. 3. To appreciate the need for rule, regulation and laws within a complex modern society. 999 Academy Bridgwater Based upon the 999 Academy Barnstaple model the 999 Academy Bridgwater was established in January 2017 with financial support from SAFE South West and was fully operational during 18 / 19.

The Bridgwater Academy is the second such Academy in the country and involves Devon and Somerset Fire and Rescue Service, Avon and Somerset Police, South Western Ambulance and SAFE South West. The Academy is open to young people aged 16 -18 years, regardless of their career ambitions or capabilities. In January 2020 20 students joined the Bridgwater Academy to develop skills and confidence of benefit to communities and employers and help them make career choices in the future. The programme helps inspire them to create safer communities by understanding the work of the Emergency Services and learning lifesaving skills. There are a variety of inputs ranging from diversity, emergency first aid, personal banking, interview skills, conflict resolution, lost person search management, water and mud rescue, alcohol and drug driving awareness, Road Traffic Collision (RTC) reduction and rescue, crime prevention and investigation, fire extinguisher training, and command and control. The programme included a short residential held for the first time in conjunction with the Barnstaple Academy (thanks to Devon County Councillors for financial support) at a Brixham Outdoor pursuits centre essential to help the students bond, trust each other and for group dynamics, all vital components for the activities they will undertake.

Sadly the COVID related restrictions did put Academy activities on hold in March 2020

Small Grants Fund

The SAFE South West small grants scheme is aimed at helping DSFRS staff who volunteer and carry out charitable work with a community safety / fire safety focus in their own time. DSFRS staff give generously of their time and expertise to help others. Often this work takes place abroad and over the last few years staff have travelled to a whole host of countries including Nepal, Poland, Rumania and Uganda. Their work has included working to improve local fire services, teaching fire safety to school children and teachers, promoting fire safe and the installation of smoke alarms.

Because this valuable work often takes place abroad, DSFRS find it difficult to help with the costs and staff usually have to raise all the funding for the trip and

work. SAFE South West offers small grants of usually no more than £250 to help with the costs, of accommodation, travel or equipment. The volunteer work does not have to take place abroad, but it does have to have a community safety / fire safety focus, where funding, resources and staff time are not available from DSFRS.

This area of work had to be put on hold during 2020/21 because of COVID restriction.

Section E Financial review

Brief statement of the charity’s policy on reserves

SAFE South West does not currently have a policy regarding what level of reserves might be required. In 2020 / 21 our staff and core costs were met by DSFRS and in these circumstances i.e. with no long-term liabilities such as rent, salary redundancy payments etc the charity has been able to operate effectively and responsibly without a firm policy. However, if the funding situation changes then a decision on a reserves policy will be taken.

Independent examiner’s report to the trustees of SAFE South West

I report on the accounts of SAFE South West for the year ended 31 March 2021, which are attached.

Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner

The charity’s trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The charity’s trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144(2) of the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act) and that an independent examination is needed.

It is my responsibility to:

examine the accounts under section 145 of the 2011 Act
to follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act
to state whether particular matters have come to my attention

Basis of independent examiner’s report

My examination was carried out in accordance with the general Directions given by the Charity Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from you as trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a ‘true and fair view’ and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below.

Independent examiner’s statement

In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention:

(1) which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements:

to keep accounting records in accordance with section 130 of the 2011 Act
to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the 2011 Act have not been met.
