TENDRING ELDERCARE
TRUSTEE'S ANNUAL REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021
Tendring Eldercare - Chairman’s Report
I am proud to still be representing Tendring Eldercare as I reach my fifth year as Trustee and Chairman of Tendring Eldercare.
This year has been one of the most difficult years we have faced in the history of this organisation.
We started 2020 with such hope. We were excited for our future by taking a new direction and leasing Kingston House. Despite knowing there was a large amount of renovation and redevelopment taking place, we were extremely positive and pleased with our progress. We had finally, after many years, started to take ownership of our future.
Shockingly and by surprise, a decision was forced upon us due to the Covid-19 pandemic to cease our regular activities. At first, our future seemed over. We had no income, no savings and large bills piling up. Eventually, the government stepped in with their furlough scheme which allowed us to keep our staff employed. However, this became almost impossible when we were made to pay contributions. We quite honestly didn’t know where to turn.
Funds become a little easier when we were supported by The Essex Community Foundation with a grant towards the rental cost of Kingston House.
With charitable activities at a standstill and with building renovations on hold, we quickly turned our resources to respond to the needs of our community by stepping in to support those in most need by establishing an Emergency Food Bank.
Our community was isolating, with many having no access to food supplies. We realised that government support would be slow to roll out across Tendring. We rapidly sprang into action and launched an Emergency Essential Food Parcel service. We raised vital funds to support this project, and run the charity via private & public donations and grants.
We used local supermarkets and ordered lorry loads of food and started to create specially designed parcels which would last an individual or family one week.
At the time, the members of the community we were supporting were those that were in isolation or shielding. Over the course of this year we have created thousands of Food Parcels and helped thousands of families and individuals.
Later in the year, once lockdowns had settled and with strict social distancing guidelines in place, we secured investment to progress with the redevelopment of our Day Centre to continue creating our state of the art facility.
We believe that the need for respite care will be needed now, more than ever as isolation has caused huge issues for the elderly.
Edward G A Bell
Chairman
Our Purpose And Activities
Our purpose continues to be the same as set out in our constitution which includes:
-
To relieve elderly residents in Tendring who are in need, by providing services or facilities calculated to relieve the needs of such persons.
-
To preserve and protect the health of those caring for elderly people by offering a respite service.
-
To relieve financial hardship and poor health or sickness among elderly persons.
Tendring Eldercare is a service designed to support those and their families who need care and respite across the district of Tendring. We operate an Eldercare Day Centre 5 days a week based in Kingston House, Clacton-on-Sea.
We operate a transport service that collect residents from across the District and bring them into our care where they receive a day filled with activities designed to both stimulate their minds and increase their physical activity.
Our care staff are all fully qualified and are led by our highly experienced Day Centre Manager who can support them with their daily needs.
Our Day Centre offers a nutritional, 2 course meal as well as Entertainment, Shower Service, Chiropodist and Hair Dressing facilities all from our Kingston House site.
We also run a weekly Luncheon Club held at Little Clacton Village Hall, a weekly Shopping Trip and Day Trips.
Whilst in our care it is our objective to maintain the wellbeing of our clients and to support their families with the much needed respite they deserve.
Achievements And Performance
We have found that our Day Centre and the services it provides make a huge difference to the residents of Tendring and their families. As well as our Day Centre we hold two weekly outings, one being a ‘shopping’ trip where we take a group of clients to the supermarket and assist them which encourages their independence and the other outing being an evening meal, held once a week at various locations across the district.
On a Thursday we continue to run our weekly Luncheon Club which proves very popular and provides a group of lonely individuals with the much needed attention they deserve and also provides them with a hot, nutritionally balanced meal. – RUNNING FOR OVER 35 YEARS
As our services continue we find we are a service which is needed and we strive to enhance our offerings and add further services. These services we provide work in tandem with many other organisations to maintain a community spirit.
Financial Review
At the end of this financial period we have had a total income of £204,147 and an expenditure of £227,555.
Investment Powers And Policy
Tendring Eldercare currently have no investments however this is something the Board of Trustees would consider in the future should the occasion arise.
Reserves Policy & Going Concern
Our reserves policy is to try to hold 6 months of monthly running costs. We estimate this amount to be £90,000. These reserves are designed to be used in the event that the charity needs them to continue the day to day running of the charity.
Plans For Future Periods
At Tendring Eldercare we continue to hold a long term plan to purchase our own premises which we can use to extend the services we offer in our Day Centre.
If we were to have our own premises we will be able to provide our services during the evenings and weekend and dramatically change the way we provide care to the community.
Investment Powers & Policy
The CIO has power to do anything which is calculated to further its object(s) or is conducive or incidental to doing so. In particular, the CIO’s powers include power to:
(1) borrow money and to charge the whole or any part of its property as
security for the repayment of the money borrowed. The CIO must comply as
appropriate with sections 124 and 125 of the Charities Act 2011 if it wishes to mortgage land;
(2) buy, take on lease or in exchange, hire or otherwise acquire any property and to maintain and equip it for use;
(3) sell, lease or otherwise dispose of all or any part of the property belonging to the CIO. In exercising this power, the CIO must comply as appropriate with sections 117 and 119-123 of the Charities Act 2011;
(4) employ and remunerate such staff as are necessary for carrying out the work of the CIO. The CIO may employ or remunerate a charity trustee only to the extent that it is permitted to do so by clause 6 (Benefits and payments to charity trustees and connected persons) and provided it complies with the conditions of those clauses;
(5) deposit or invest funds, employ a professional fund-manager, and arrange for the investments or other property of the CIO to be held in the name of a
nominee, in the same manner and subject to the same conditions as the trustees
of a trust are permitted to do by the Trustee Act 2000.
We do not currently have any money invested anywhere.
Pay Policy For Senior Staff
Our principles are to pay our staff a fair wage that is competitive within the charity sector, proportionate to the complexity of each role, and responsible in line with our charitable objectives.
Risk Management
The trustees have a risk management strategy which is owned by them and is now an agenda item at each board meeting.
TENDRING ELDERCARE
INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021
I report on the accounts of Tendring Eldercare for the year ended 31 March 2021 which are set out on pages 7 to 12.
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 Act) but that an independent examination is needed.
It is my responsibility to:
-
Examine the accounts under section 145 of the Charities Act,
-
To follow the procedures laid down in the General Directions given by the Charity.
-
Commissioners (under section 145(5)(b) of the Charities Act, and
-
To state whether any matters have come to my attention.
Basis of Independent Examiner's Statement
My examination was carried out in accordance with the General Directions given by the Charity Commissioners. 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 considerations 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, I do not express an audit opinion on the view given by the accounts.
Independent examiner's statement
In the course of my examination, no material matters have come to my attention which gives me cause to believe that in any material respect: the accounting records were not kept in accordance with section 130 of the Charities Act; or
-
the accounts did not accord with the accounting records; or
-
the accounts did not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the
-
form and content of the accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 other than any requirement that the accounts give a true and fair view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination.
I have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
