TRUSTEES, REPORT The Trustees are pleased to present their report with the accounts of the charity for the year ended December 31, 2024. Chari Charitable status Bereavement Care obtained a Charitable Incorporated Organisation (CIO) status in 2014. The aim of the organisation is to provide emotional support to people during bereavement. Grief impacts both the health and emotional wellbeing of a person. This journey may be painful and lonely, we help people through it. Our trained volunteers are good listeners and offer free support to all, regardless of religion, race, sexuality, disability, gender or age. As we cover a wide geographical area, our support is either over the telephone I mobile, by Skype or Zoom, or face to face in person at the client's home or other mutually agreeable venue, including one of our bereavement drop-in locations. Charity Objectives Our objectives for the public benefit are: To relieve the suffering and distress caused by bereavemenl or loss among people who seek our help. This would be, in particular, but not exclusively by: Offering support through the prO5S of grieving. Increasing the public awareness and knowledge of the needs of bereaved people, or those who have experienced loss, throughout the community. Training and supervising suitable volunteers in listening skills for working with the bereaved (whether in their homes or in other appropriate places). Co-operating with and offering training to other agencies engaged in similar work. anisation Trustees The constitution allows for up to twelve elected Trustees and one nominated Trustee appointed by Harrow Deanery Synod. Visitors There are approximately 135 volunteers, who are Irained in visiting and listening skills, and have worked with bereaved people in their homes or in other appropriate places such as drop-in centres. Each visitor successfully completes the Initial Bereavement Training (IBT) before joining a group, Visitors work to a comprehensive code of practice and are expected to complete Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) assessment, where appropriate. The visitors contact bereaved people who are referred by their Group Leader or have requested support via the Bereavement Care office. Visitors are supervised by a Leader within the context of a group which meets regularly. Group Leaders have meetings for mutual support and exchange of information and have been supported by an Honorary Consultant Supervisor. Staff Bereavement Care has only one part-time employee. Office Bereavement Care rents an office in one of Harrow Council's buildings which has easy access from the centre of Harrow. The office is adequately equipped with computers, a photocopier and lockable filing cupboards. We are seeking to finance and appoint a part -time administrator to cover all five weekday mornings. Not only would this improve our coverage of incoming phone calls, but this would also allow the currenl Executive Officer to revert to his original appointment as part-time Outreach and Development Offir. Other users of the office include members of the Lodge Groups for in-person support meetings. The building has a meeting room which is convenient for training, Trustee meetings and Group Leader meetings.
CHAIR'S REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024 We started 2024 with a full Board of Trustees, as you will see on page 4 of this report. Regrettably, due to personal circumstances, five had tendered their resignations by the end of the year. We were particularly disappointed that Michael Liddiard, who had agreed to take on the role as Honorary Treasurer, was unexpectedly called away at short noti and had no other option but to leave us before really getting started! We were delighted to welcome Dave Scott to the Board in September. There are currently three vacancies and we would be very pleased to hear from anyone who feels they may have the time and interest in joining us, in particular anyone who might have an eye for figures and could relieve Leslie Pappoe of his duties as Honorary Treasurer. Bobbi Riesel. David Griffiths and l attended the Harrow Council's Jobs and Volunteering Fair at Harrow College (Lowlands Road) in February with the Bereavement Care display boards and an opportunity to talk to prospective volunteers. predominantly with a view to them working in the office alongside David. Sadly, none were forthcoming despite some expressions of interest. The first few months of the year were taken up by the new Board getting to understand their roles, and this was helped with some online training delivered by Alex Buckmire from Voluntary Action Harrow. Trustees completed safeguarding training and reviewed several policies including the Constitution, to ensure that governance was apposite and transparent. The revised Constitution was agreed at the Annual General Meeting (AGM) in May. The AGM also gave me an opportunity to talk about oui Strategic Development Plan which was in its embryonic stages at that time. The Trustees were very conscious that any strategy should be a working document, not just a collection of ideas that were merely a paper exercise. After several versions and drafts, we finally agreed the five areas of the Strategic Development Plan. These are: Communication and Marketing Recruitment and Training Community Engagement and Partnership Working Financial Security and Income Generation Service Review and Development Each of these priorities in the plan are led by one or more Trustees who report back to the Board at Trustee meetings on progress with each of their areas. The Board has also been getting back on track by reviewing all the policies and procedures, and these are now scheduled for review over a three-year cycle. I will take this opportunity to remind everyone On again that it is the responsibility of everyone associated with Bereavement Care, whether paid or volunteering, to be familiar wilh their responsibilities for Safeguarding Children and Vulnerable Adults. To this end it is strongly recommended that everyone has an up-to-date DBS (Disclosure and Barring Service certificate) and has completed at least a Level 1, Introduction to Safeguarding Course, (information regarding both is available from the Office). Bereavement Care has a Lead Trustee for Safeguarding, Richard Segalov, who can be contscted via the office in relation to any specific safeguarding matters, Towards the end of the year, we were honoured to have been awarded a special award. The 'London Dangoor Awards,, the new name given to the London Faith & Belief Community Awards, were initially set up in 2017 by Sir Kenneth Olisa, The Lord Lieutenant of Greater London, and David Dangoor who was Chair of his Faith Council at that time. The event was described as an opportunity to share successes and celebrate the work of those who seek to build bridges and enrich Londoners, sense of belonging supporting the Lord-Lieutenant's commitment to addressing the issue of social exclusion in London. The award remonY was held at the Royal Society of Medicine on 26 November and was attended by over 200 people. We were told on the night that 109 nominations had been received from charitable organisations in 9 categories. Our nomination had been successful and Bereavement Care was one of 8 'winners' in the Health and Wellbeing category. The certificate was accepted by three of Bereavement Care's Trustees: myself, Charlotte Spencer and John Spencer.
We were sad to hear that after many years of service, Dr Dorothy Edwards had decided to step down as our Honorary Consultant Supervisor. Dorothy has given plenty of good advi to our team of volunteer client Assessors, to our Group Leaders and, at times, to Trustees and to individual Bereavement Visitors. We wish her all the best in her 'second' retirement! An advertisement to seek her replacement has been circulated within the organisation. Thank you to Carole Binysh. SaTah Ferguson and Jane Mayes who attended a training course for Assessors in the autumn, and are now assessing prospectwe clients as part of our small (but very effective) team of Assessors. It has also been encouraging to welcome Northwood and Ruislip United Synagogue as a Corporate Member this year. We would like to encourage more groups, particularly in the areas geographically that are currently under-reSourd. and we need to recruit more volunteers, especially those who are bilingual and can offer support in some of the many languages that are spoken in our communities. Our partnerships with Voluntary Action Harrow and Young Harrow Foundation are important, and of course as Chair of both organisations, I commend to you the activities of Harrow Inter Faith. Bereavement Care is a member, so you are all welcome to come along to our events. It was good to have received a grant to document our heritage through the 'Stories of Harrow" but we continue to pursue additional funding through grants and charitable trusts to safeguard the future of Bereavement Care. As I write this report, in just a few days we will sadly see the closure of Brent Bereavement Services due to a shorffall in funding. We cannot let the same happen to Bereavement Care. My fellow Trustees and l appreciate the opportunity to lead and guide your charity, and recognise the privilege as well as the responsibility that this gives us. Trustees may come and go, but it is Ihe dedication and commitrnent of our volunteers who deliver bereavement support to our clients. Thank you so much for all you do and long may it continue. Gopal Bhachu Chair TRAINING REPORT Recruitment and Training is one of the five priorities identified in our Strategic Development Plan and therefore continues to be at the forefront of our activities. Whether it is training new volunteers to become Bereavement Visitors, or keeping our existing volunteers up-to-date with ongoing training, both are fundamental to our objectives. We have also been able to offer training to other organisations, who would like their staff or volunteers to become more aware of the needs of bereaved people and how to support them appropriately. In 2024 we held four Initial Bereavement Training (IBT) Courses. In JanuarylFebruary we were invited back lo hold our first IBT of the year in John Keble Church in Mill Hill. 13 participants attended the course. Our thanks to Maggi Lamb for arranging the venue and refreshments. The remaining IBT courses held during the year were al The Lodge (64 Pinner Road>. In May we had 9 participants, in September 8 and Dember it was 6 which made a total of 36 volunteers trained in the year. We held one Children & Grief Course in May with 12 participants, predominantly training staff from schools and colleges in Harrow and Hillingdon. We also held three Refresher Trainings in June, July and September with a lotal of 25 participants - existing Bereavement Visitors who wanted to brush up on their skills. In November, Bette Fraser and Jean Orpwood trained 6 people on an Assessor's course (three of whom have subsequently joined our small team of client assessors). In May we were invited to provide sorne basic training for Harrow Carers; and we ended the year in December by training 18 people from the United Synagogue. A big thank you to all the Trainers: Bette Fraser, Carole Scarlett, Helen Blakeley and Julie Rose for all your help. Bobbi RieseL Head of Training
FUND RAISING AND AWARENESS COMMirrEE REPORT Committee members Jeanette Leibling, Bobbi Riesel (Chair). Trudy Segal, Wendy Williams, David Griffiths. Our Supper Quiz in February 2024 was held at Edgware & Hendon Reform Synagogue and we raised a record amount of £3.791. We were most appreciative of the support of our regular Quiz Master. Selwyn Foreman; together with Val Austen, Henry Wyatt and Jeanette Leibling on the marking desk. Not to mention a myriad of helpers who came to set up and clear away. We held our usual tombola stall at Eastcote House Gardens in June and that raised £308. Also in June, the Pinner Music Festival chose us as their nominated charity for the year and we were delighted to receive £4,546 from them and their audiences who contributed to the donation. The Pinner Village Show in September brought us in £195 and an opportunity to talk to local people about the support we provide. Our Carol Singing in December in Rayners Lane Station raised £303 with grateful thanks to Lawrence Bird and his fellow guitarists,. and just a few weeks later our second stint of Carol Singing at Harrow-on-the-Hill station raised £681. We thank Avis on the keyboard and the beautiful voices of the Apollo Male Voice Choir. Both of these results, of course, eligible for Gift Aid under the Small Donations Scheme, so an extra 25% contributed by HM Revenue and Customs is very welcome. As usual we are always looking for new members to help us with new ideas and to help our small team with events. Many thanks to our committee and those volunteers who have sold tickets, held buckets and helped us in so many ways. We couldn't have done it without you and we appreciate everything that you do to help us. Bobbi Riesel Chair, Fund-raising and Awareness Committee CONFERENCE REPORT Committee members Angela Atkins, Sharon Goldstein, David Griffiths, Karen Pollak, Jenny Reid, Bobbi Riesel, Linda Varley (Minute Taker), Judy Silverton (Chair). Emmanuel Church in Northwood was, for the third time, Ihe venue of Bereavement Care's 43Td Annual Conference, held on 301h October 2024. 'Bereavement is Everyone's Business" took ils title from the Report by the UK Commission on Bereavement. The venue, staff and volunteers at Emmanuel are very welcoming and it has plenty of spa. In previous years. the feedback from participants included remarks on the fact that it was very cold and we decided that we would pay to have the heating on from 4.00am. This was very successful and worth the extra money. We did however still notify our delegates that churches are notoriously cold places and to dress warmly! Jon Fiber, our incredible ITIAV rnan managed and coordinated all our audio and IT needs smoothly as always. He had some assistance from Emmanuel's AV technician who helped Jon set up. Chair of Trustees, Gopal Bhachu, introduced himself and welcomed everyone to the Conference. Our keynote speaker was Dr Alison Penny MBE. She is coordinator of the National Bereavement Alliance and has her finger on the pulse and keeps the sector updated with relevant developments. She spoke eloquently about the public health approach to bereavement, an 'opportunity to step away from what the individual needs and think about what we need as a society., She really launched the conference in the right mood. She talked about the 8 Principles of Change. There was a was a lively Q&A session with Sharon Goldstein and Bobbi Riesel in control of the roving microphones.
There were six workshops providing delegates with the opportunity to get as much infoirnation as possible during the day. John Spencer, Trustee and Group Leader at Holy Trinity Church Northwood spoke aboul The Bereavement Journey which he has been running at Holy Tiinity for four years. The course runs for seven weeks and is designed for small group participation at no charge. John and his team offer this twice a year. Shehryar Ahmad-wallana (former Mayor of Hillingdon and a praclising Muslim) led a discussion group with The Reverend Nicholas Schofield. Parish Priest of the Catholic Parish of Our Lady of Lourdes and St. Michael's Uxbridge and Gopal Bhachu, (who is not only Chair of Trustees for Bereavement Care, but also Chair of Harrow Interfaith), discussing how faith communities address the rituals and processes associated with death and bereavement. Hazel Kann has been a listening Samaritan for over eight years and set up a 'Facing the Future, group for her Samaritan's branch (SW Herts in Watford) whilst she was its Outreach Director in 2019. She spoke about this project which brings together people who have been bereaved by suicide and who wish to talk through their feelings with others who have had similar experiences. Two members of staff from the Bereavement, Listening and Talking Therapies Team at Rennie Grove Peace Hospice, Christine Quintal and Katharine Finn led a workshop exploring anticipatory grief, and how a person's experience of anticipatory grief and crucially, the support they receive at that tirne, can impact the grieving process after their loved one dies. A workshop looking at Beginnings, Endings and Boundaries was led by Bette Fraser, Bereavement Group Leader at Kol Chai Synagogue and one of Bereavement Care's Trainers. Liz Hudson, Bereavement Support & Outreach Worker from Winston's Wish explained how that charity offers support to bereaved children and young people. Lunch was Seed in the Lounge and as always was a great success, thanks to Bobbi and her team of helpers for making such a good lunch. We were lucky to get some bread donated by Wenzels and a couple of the supermarkets also made a contribution. Thanks go to Fruity Fresh in Northwood for supplying all the fruit. After lunch delegates attended their second Choi of workshop. At the end of the afternoon the delegates and the workshop leaders reconvened in the main body of the church for a plenary session. Each Workshop Leader was asked to bring two "good ideas. and this was fed back to the delegates. David Griffiths closed the evenl with a summary of the conference and a short reflection. I would like to add my thanks to the Conference Planning Committee members without whom this event would not be possible. Also, my grateful thanks to David Griffiths for his support and help with the administration which is always carried out extremely efficiently and never with a cross word, making my task much easier. We are still in the early stages of planning this years, conference. We have a provisional date, 29th October 2025, a provisional venue, St Edmund's Church, Northwood Hills and a provisional title: "Barriers to Resolving Grief . Judy Silverton Chair, Conference Planning Group
REPORT FROM THE EXECUTIVE OFFICER Whilst this report will focus on our progress and development in 2024, it is written shortly after receiving the sad news that Bridget Murray had died on 11th April 2025. Our sincere condolences to her family and friends on the loss of one of our longest members, who had not only been Group Leader at St. John's Church Pinner, but also one of our client Assessors. Bridget had already stepped down from the latter of these roles and had ceased client visiting when she had become unwell. At times like this, it does make us all consider succession planning. The recruitment (and retention) of volunteers is one aspect of the three-year Strategic Development Plan which has been the focus of the Trustees over the past year. In February, I was invited to attend a Health Hub at St Mary's Church Hall, Harmondsworth which was arranged as part of an initiative by NHS primary healthcare providers to take services into the local community. In addition to being able to talk to local residents who were interested in the services we provide, it was good to meet other healthcare providers, such as Social Prescribers and G.P.s in this area to the south of Hillingdon where we would like to develop better outreach. Towards the end of the year, I was also able to attend a meeting of the Hillingdon Community Network in Uxbridge. meeting volunteers from Mind, Carers Trust Hillingdon and Community Connex (previously known as Mencap) amongst others, sharing how we support service users. In Harrow, we have engaged with the Conversation Café at St. Peter's Church in West Harrow which provides an interface, giving local residents an opportunity to meet with representatives from support organisations. The number of client referrals received in our office in 2024 was similar to recent years, with slighlly more adult referrals 120 (2023: 116} but fewer children and young people referrals 25 (2023: 34). We hope Ihat a £5,000 grant received from Harrow Giving in 2025 will enable us to raise the profile of our support for bereaved children and young people in local schools and colleges, Of course, these are only the clients who weie referred or self-referred through the Bereavement Care Office, and do not include those who received direct support from a Bereavement Group attached lo a place of worship or who turned-up 'on spec, at a Drop-in {see Statistlcs on pages 15 & 16). Some of the churches that support us through their Corporate Memberships held Memorial Services in 2024. These services allow those families who have eXperIend a bereavement over the past year to formally remember their loved ones; the services often taking place around the Christian mernorial of 'The Commemoration of All Souls. in November, the month of Remembrance. We are grateful to those churches who take a collection from those attending, and offer it as a donation to Bereavement Care. Other financial support in the form of donations was received from the Jewish Joint Burial Society, who provided a grant of £4,000 towards the costs of the rent and service charges for our office. Donations were also received from Pinner Music Festival (£4,546)., Pinner Parish Church {£2,000)', the Leila Charitable Tiust (£200), Mosaic Reforrn Synagogue (£200), Jocelyn Tompkins (£500), Probus Club of Pinner (£265) and a grateful client (£250). In addition, we were successful in a bid to Harrow Giving for a grant of £7,500 to research and document the development of Bereavement Care. as part of a Borough-wide project to mark Ihe 60th Anniversary of Harrow becoming a London Borough "Stories of Harrow". Whilst Bereavement Care could not operate without the generous donations and support of its donors, benefactors, Corporate and Individual Members, it is without doubt the collaboration and community engendered by its volunteers that have proved to be invaluable over the past forty- four yeais. On behalf of all the children and adults that have received support from many of you, may l offer sincere thanks for all that you do. David Griffiths Executive Officer 10-
