## Section D                      Achievements and erformance p 

SAFE South West was established in August 2013 to work with local communities, **Summary of the main** Devon and Somerset Fire and Rescue Service (DSFRS) and other Emergency **achievements of the charity** Services around issues of community safety. **during the year** During 2022 / 23 the charity has continued with work regarding community resilience, home safety equipment and support for volunteers providing emergency training in Nepal. **Community Resilience** In 22/23, 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 22/23 grants totalling £4330 were awarded to local community groups. 

## **Safer Homes** 

During 22 / 23 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.

## **Nepal** 

During 2022 /23, 6 grants were made to assist with the costs of volunteers travelling to Nepal to deliver Firefighting training, fire safety and search and rescue training.

## **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 previous years 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. That situation has now changed and a decision on a reserves policy will need to be taken in the future. 

**Details of any funds materially in deficit** 

None
