## **VOLUNTEERS and SERVICES** 

## **VOLUNTEERS** 

For 35 years, volunteers have been a vital part of DIAL in providing support to thousands of disabled people by: 

- Giving information and advice on  any disability issues 

- Working to influence public opinion and government policy 

- Promoting disabled people’s active involvement in society 

- Promoting lifelong learning 

DIAL promotes the role of disabled people in society by: 

- Supporting them to influence decisions 

- Sharing their experiences and skills within their communities and society as a whole 

- · Making choices 

Volunteers are crucial in making sure DIAL continues to support disabled people and benefit the local community. People volunteer for many reasons, perhaps to give something back to the local community or to gain valuable experience which could help in finding future employment.  Volunteers agree that volunteering with DIAL has helped towards gaining more up to date skills, experience and increased confidence. 

Volunteers add value to our work with disabled people in the local community and in return can expect: 

- The enjoyment of being part of a team 

- A chance to meet new people, make new friends, gain confidence and  increase self esteem 

- To gain new skills 

- The chance to use their individual talents and skills to benefit disabled people 

- Personal growth and development 

- The rewarding feeling of supporting someone to achieve their full potential 

- The knowledge that they have made a real difference 

DIAL currently has a bank of 12 committed volunteers, working between 5 and 10 hours per week.  Whether they are disabled themselves or have a family member or friend they care for, they are all dedicated to the work that they do and endeavour to help others cope with their problems and difficulties. DIAL promotes the importance of the role volunteers play in the organisation and encourages all volunteers to participate in training courses to benefit their work at DIAL and to increase their own knowledge, skills and confidence. 




## **SERVICES** 

DIAL is normally open Monday to Friday between 10am and 3pm at its main office.  Anybody is welcome to come and visit us at the office or contact us by telephone, text, email or letter. All enquiries are promptly dealt with and further information is passed on as soon as we receive it.  DIAL is unique in the fact that it deals with problems relating to all disabilities and disability issues mainly by people who are disabled. This enables them to give advice with compassion and empathy and we feel that this puts us in a better position to give a top quality, specialist service to disabled people. We provide quality advice and information on a wide range of issues. 

We offer a variety of projects to help as many people as possible access our service in the way best suited to them. We offer 

- **General information** and advice, face to face, by our office in Grays 

- **Home Visiting** service for people unable to get to us for help with benefit applications and independent living advice (this is currently a limited service) 

- **Welfare Rights Service** to help people with appeals, casework, submissions and tribunals 

- Advice Desk at **Pitsea Library** on the 4[th] Wednesday of each month 

- Advice Desk at **Wickford Library** on the 4[th] Tuesday of each month 

- Advice Desk at **Lifestyle & Mobility Basildon** on the 2[nd] and 4[th] Monday of each month 

- Advice Desk at **Brentwood Community Hospital** on the 2nd Tuesday of each month

- **Help with completion of various forms (hard copy and online)** 

- **Advice on a variety of disability related subjects, e.g. equipment, leisure, access,  etc** 

- **Advocacy, Signposting and Referral, as necessary** 

Unfortunately most of these services haven’t operated over the past year due to the pandemic and the lockdown.  We have continued to operate the main service whilst working from home by telephone, email and face to face calls. 



## **CHAIRMAN’S REPORT** 

Due to the Covid lockdown obviously this is not a very long report this year. We were able to continue due to the staff being able to work from home, unfortunately this meant that none of the volunteers were able to come into the building, so we were unable to help as many people as we would like to have done during this time. 

We did try and come back a few times during this period, but as no clients were allowed into the building we did not see the point of putting ourselves, or anyone else, at risk when we were able to do the same thing at home.  I did however manage to have a few meetings with the staff over this time either by telephone or meeting at a safe distance outside.  We hope to be able to return in the near future. 

Only time will tell as to what will be possible in the future, and hopefully we can be flexible enough to cope with whatever is thrown at us and continue to operate for many years to come. 

As every year I would like to say a personal thank you to everyone for all the help they have given over the last year. 


Carol – Chairperson 

## **TREASURERS REPORT** 

The accounts have improved this year and we have gained additional funding for our work throughout the lockdown.  We finished the year with some reserves which we need to build on to give us a buffer for any difficult times ahead.  DIAL aims to generate as much core funding as possible from income generation and donations/fundraising activities and we aim to enable ongoing development through project funding from other funders.  The trustees will continue to monitor the level of funding being generated to ensure sufficient funds to continue to operate the service at its current level for as long as possible hoping to avoid the need to reduce levels of service to the public and to identify sources of funding to allow DIAL to expand its services. 

Paul - Treasure 




## **DIAL’s PROJECTS** 

## **Sally Penson Appeals Service** 

The second year of the project came with new, unexpected challenges. We were living through a pandemic which caused us to be unable to work from our offices and having to change the way we operated as an organisation to best serve and support our clients. I continued to work on my appeal cases from home as well as taking on new cases throughout the year. 

During the first few months I assisted with the completion of forms as our volunteers were unable to continue this side of our work, but once people realised we were still available for advice and assistance with appeals etc, I reduced the amount of forms I would complete to focus on appeals and enquiries. 

The tribunal service also changed the way they operated and appeals initially were heard via telephone hearings, this allowed me to continue to support my clients during the hearings as I had before the pandemic struck. In last few months, hearings have been taking place via video, I now attend hearings in this way too. 

I continued to attend training courses online via Zoom and Microsoft Teams to keep up with any changes throughout the benefit system and appeals. 

I have assisted with the delivery of our craft project, by distributing arts and craft packs to clients throughout the year. 

My caseload has been steady and continues to do well and I have received much gratitude from everyone I have supported through their cases and beyond. Often once an appeal has been heard this is not the end of the case, there may be further questions and advice which need attending to, therefore I continue to support many clients in any way they need. Finally, I would like to add that my current success rate for appeals remains above the national average. Over the past year I have had 115 cases, 73 (I represented 41 at hearing) of these cases are now closed, 62 of these cases had successful outcomes, which generated a yearly income of £245,466 and increased my client’s weekly income by over £5,530 and they were grateful to receive back pay amounting to nearly £290,000. I was left with 42 cases to carry over to the next financial year. 

## **Christine Tarbard Outreach Service** 

The Outreach Service and Home Visiting Service was progressing well. We had opened two more Outreach Desks at the libraries in Rayleigh and Canvey and these were picking up nicely when COVID-19 hit forcing us to close all outreach locations and stop home visits. I continued to help people as best as possible over the telephone and still completed their benefit application forms by asking questions over the phone and then completing additional sheets for them to attach to their forms and return. This has worked very well over the past year and is something we will give our clients the choice off when we can return to the office.  I have continued to work closely with Thurrock Community Support (Local Area Co-ordinators) whose clients suffer a lot of mental health issues and who are unable to navigate the systems themselves.  This causes them more anxiety and stress. I also work closely with the Social Prescribers and other voluntary organisations. I also advise their family members on help available for them as they are caring for them. I have generated a lot of financial benefit for my clients, helping to improve their quality of life and improve both their physical and mental health. 



## **Kasia Walton “Coming Together” Project** 

The project is for people living in Basildon and provides a range of activities to build social connections between disabled people, as well as their families and carers. Activities include coffee mornings, advice and support and areas of interest of those attending, and a Young People’s Programme, to encourage social interaction. We are starting a second group for families with children so they can play whilst the parents share happy and sad stories, supporting each other through difficult times. There are also training sessions to develop digital skills. Participants shape the project via a user forum, evaluation workshops, and by giving individual feedback. 

Once COVID hit I had to stop holding the meetings and designed a way for people to keep in touch and participate in activities together to ease the stresses imposed by lockdown. We now use instant messaging and video chats to provide a reliable network of advice and friendship.  We managed to gain additional funding to supply some of our members that had no access to the internet with tablets and mobile broadband for a year to allow them to still keep in touch with others. During COVID-19, whilst in person meetings were suspended, the group adapted to deliver craft packages to their usual project participants. 

We hope the groups are able to meet in person again soon but the craft packs are going to continue due to their large popularity. We want to expand geographically and bring on more people to take part in our activities once meeting up again is allowed. 

DIAL South Essex encourage those who are lonely, isolated or interested in learning more about living with a disability or with a disabled child to join our online chats, join in with video calls and take advantage of the various activities.  We created the WhatsApp group where people have 24hr contact. We have a mixture of lonely people, retired people, people with physical disabilities and people with bad mental health conditions. We hope to continue our work in ‘New Normal’ following COVID-19 and be able to get more people involved in online activities and new projects. 






## **CASE STUDY** 

Mr C has suffered from a heart condition since birth, he has had many heart surgeries and is on his 5[th] pacemaker. However, his condition continues to deteriorate. 

Mr C was placed on the heart transplant list and he made an application for Personal Independence Payment (PIP), but was declined as it was decided he could manage his personal daily living and mobilising activities. When carrying out these tasks Mr C became breathless, weak and needed to rest for several hours’ or even days afterwards. 

In December  Mr C’s conditions deteriorated so much he was being admitted to a Newcastle hospital. He was given a date a little while in advance to allow him to get his home life in order. And he would remain in hospital until after his heart transplant. 

I kept on top of Mr C’s case for PIP informing the DWP of every change as it happened. 

In February upon admission to hospital, an advisor at the hospital helped Mr C to make a new claim for PIP and he was awarded Enhanced Rates of both the Daily Living and Mobility components, however this award only commenced from February  and I was still fighting his original case. 

Unfortunately in July after 5 months in hospital, Mr C became too unwell for a heart transplant and had to be removed from the waiting list. He had to have a Ventricular Assist Device (VAD) fitted to allow his heart to recover to a stage where he can be placed back on the transplant list. 

Each month, Mr C has to travel from Essex to Newcastle for monitoring and further tests, so the last thing he wants or needs to be worrying about is an appeal or court hearing. 

In October after 19 months of waiting, Mr C’s case was heard and he was awarded the Enhanced Rates for both the Daily Living and Mobility components of PIP from March until his new claim started in February. 

Mr C thanked us for our help and said it took so much weight off of his mind not having to deal with the case by himself and he was able to concentrate on his health. 





## **STATISTICS, EVALUATION & MONITORING** 

Below are the annual results of the evaluation and monitoring of DIAL’s service using the monthly statistics.  In the financial year April 2020-March 2021 we saw a total of 2880 clients seeking information on 4476 enquiries.  We also saw another 345 people at the clubs 

## **The total of enquiries is broken down as follows;** 

|**SUBJECT AREA**|**2020-2021**|
|---|---|
|**ACCESS**|**10**|
|**AIDS & ADAPTATIONS**|**54**|

Benefit advice was again the main subject that we were contacted about accounting for 80% of all enquiries received. We were contacted by more people under retirement age. This year we dealt with 793 people over the age of 65 and 2385 people under 65. All contacts this year were by telephone or email. 



## **AREAS** 

Although not everybody that we deal with will give us their full details we try to get the area that they live in.  We are being contacted by people from further afield including Outer Boroughs of London, Havering, Dagenham, Chelmsford and Southend.  Contacts from each area are shown below; 

|**Basildon, Billericay and Wickford**|**806**|
|---|---|
|**Brentwood**|**53**|
|**Castle Point**|**128**|
|**Rochford**|**41**|
|**Thurrock**<br>|**1935**|
|**Southend**|**72**|
|**Other**|**143**|
|**Total**<br>|**3178**|



## **WEBSITE** 

Our website is regularly updated allowing many people to find the answers to their enquiries online for the more frequent enquiries that we deal with.  The website is updated regularly and expanded to allow more people to find answers quickly and easily.  We normally measure usage of the website but unfortunately due to a major computer issue this has not been possible. 




## **BENEFITS AND GENERATED INCOME** 

Of the applications that we completed we have only received about a third of all results. Many claims are still being refused or clients are receiving a much lower award for Personal Independence Payment (PIP) as the criteria for qualifying for an award is more difficult to achieve than it was with DLA.  With refusals for other benefits this combination is putting a higher demand on help for Mandatory Reconsiderations and Appeals Service. Results still do not take into account any additional income generated by the award of one benefit that leads to entitlement to other benefits, e.g. an award of Attendance Allowance that then leads to an entitlement to Pension Credit, Housing Benefit, etc. We can still only record the amount of the initial Attendance Allowance award for our figures as we are not informed of the rest. 

## **Over the past year we generated a total of £1,241,121** 

This is made up of £705,655 from awards of benefits from forms we completed and back pay and £535,466 from successful appeals 

## **FUNDING AND DONATIONS** 

We would like to thank everyone who has helped DIAL over the past year. It is becoming increasingly difficult to raise the funds needed to continue to operate, especially core funding, but, we have managed to survive another year and generate more income to continue to offer our service to our clients. 

We would like to say a very big thank you to our main funders listed below that have funded DIAL’s work over the past year, without whose support we would not be able to continue to operate. 

We would also like to thank all the individuals who have generously given donations throughout the year and those who have pledged a regular standing order donation. All money given is used for the direct benefit of the service, to help us to help the disabled, carers, older people and vulnerable members of our communities.
