MOORLANDS HOME LINK
TRUSTEES ANNUAL REPORT
FOR THE YEAR 2024/2025
Registered Charity Number: 1158361 Registered office and operational address: Black Horse House
4 Tape Street Cheadle Staffordshire Moorlands ST10 1BD
At the start of this report, the trustees would like to reflect on the 2024/2025 operating year for Moorlands Home Link (MHL).
During the past year, we were extremely grateful for the support of the many organisations and individuals who continued to enable our work, including Staffordshire County Council, Staffordshire Moorlands District Council, Support Staffordshire, Cheadle Town Council, local Parish Councils, local community groups, and businesses, for their donations of financial support, equipment, and advice. All of this support is gratefully acknowledged and appreciated.
We were also grateful for the many generous financial donations and legacies totaling £20237 received from people who can see the value of the organisation in the community and its supportive service provision. Therefore, the Managing Trustees acknowledge a surplus of £20139 in this year’s financial accounts.
Throughout this year, members of MHL staff have been fortunate to take part in training and support work to enable us to better measure the impact of our support services. This training was funded by a grant from the Vivensa Foundation.
As part of the Trustees’ commitment to ensure more cost-effective sustainable energy for the Black Horse House premises, an application was made in this financial year to the Staffordshire Moorlands District Council UKSPF Community Infrastructure Grant. Following the success of this grant application, a Solar PV system and battery storage has been installed at our premises on Tape Street. This work will reduce future monthly energy costs to MHL.
During 2024/2025 we received a direct grant award of £70,000 from the NHS North Staffordshire and Stoke on Trent Integrated Care Board (ICB) to support elements of our healthrelated work in the community. Unfortunately, following a lengthy review process carried out by the ICB, we were notified in February 2025 that the decision had been taken to withdraw this crucial piece of funding with a 6-month notice period given, ending 30th September 2025. The ICB decision places our work in jeopardy and we will seek support to challenge this decision via our district and county councillors. We will also be seeking the support of our local Members of Parliament who will be asked to write to the ICB and other statutory bodies to express their concern at the grant funding decision.
The Trustees recognise that they must continue to ensure the resilience and sustainability of the Charity with their governance, whilst upholding the Charity’s vision and values. The Trustees are also wholly committed to ensuring that the day-to-day operation of the Charity remains a vital support mechanism within the Staffordshire Moorlands community for all clients and their families.
Finally, the Trustees would like to take this opportunity to gratefully acknowledge the dedication and support throughout the past year from everyone within the Staffordshire Moorlands community who holds our organisation close to their heart.
Best wishes,
The Managing Trustees of Moorlands Home Link
The following is a summary of the services to older people which Moorlands Home Link is currently engaged in providing.
CHEADLE DAY CARE
Our Day Care support service is provided in the main room at Black Horse House, Tape Street, Cheadle, on three days each week and supports clients who may require a higher level of care. Our Day Care staff and our Transport team work closely together to ensure high standards of care are delivered throughout the day, from collection via our minibuses in the morning to return home at the end of the day. The wheelchair accessible minibuses collect clients from both Cheadle and surrounding villages including Tean, Werrington, Kingsley, and Blythe Bridge. Prospective clients from outside of our transport area of operation are welcome to attend day care if family are able to support with their transport needs.
While attending our Day Care service, clients enjoy a light breakfast followed by a three-course nutritional meal at lunch, along with unlimited drinks and snacks throughout the day. Our clients look forward to their day, and the friendship and laughter encouraged through a program of activities including gentle exercise, reminiscence, crafts and brain games. The day care service provides socialisation and care for those who also may live alone; enabling individuals to maintain their independence in their own home for as long as practicable. We have found that clients and their families are especially grateful to receive the support of the Day Care service which provides social inclusion within the local community. The service also provides respite for carers and families to enable the maintenance of their own health and mental wellbeing.
Every prospective client is visited by the Day Care Service Manager who undertakes a full needs assessment to ensure a person-centred approach and that the needs of the client are met. This assessment usually takes place at a prospective client’s home and the completed care plan is co-produced with the support of family, friends, or health professionals, where appropriate.
The Day Care setting monitors the day to day physical and mental wellbeing of each client. Therefore, should a client’s presentation deteriorate, we can signpost or guide the client and their family/carer to an appropriate healthcare professional and/or service in a timely manner before the need escalates. Additionally, the service helps to support community health professionals to monitor health and maintain long term health conditions. This helps to support people to get the right care, at the right time, in an optimal care setting and improve upstream prevention of avoidable illnesses and their exacerbations.
LEEK OUTREACH GROUP
This group meets at Leek Rugby Club on Friday each week and supports clients with a lower level of need to be together for social care and support. The group is facilitated by a Group Coordinator and two volunteers. A hot two course lunch is supplied by our Catering team. Transport is provided by our Transport team using one of our minibuses to collect and return clients to their homes in the Cheddleton and Leek area. A varied programme of activities takes place each week, including chair-based exercise, crafts, quizzes, and singing. This group has been very well received and is currently supporting 10+ older people each week to socialise and improve their mental wellbeing.
BEFRIENDING SUPPORT AND PHONE LINK
Valued volunteers make weekly contact with older people; many friendships have been formed and continue to thrive between the volunteers and the people they connect with. Both the face
to face and phone link services are delivered across the Moorlands. Assessments are completed for each client by the Service Manager and this assessment forms the basis of a match with a like-minded volunteer with similar interests.
The Befriending service is a low level, high impact, preventative support service which reduces social isolation, gives a sense of community inclusion and improves mental wellbeing.
For some people who receive the Befriending service, the only contact that they may have each week is with the volunteer, particularly in the most rural of areas within our community, and for this reason the service is very well received and greatly appreciated. This Service does not currently receive any statutory funding and the Managing Trustees are determined to safeguard its future through further fundraising and relevant grant funding applications.
TRANSPORT
We continue to operate two specially adapted minibuses; the two minibuses are provided and maintained under a leasing agreement with CVM World, Knypersley.
The Transport team provide transport for our clients from and to their homes to Day Care and the Leek Outreach Group and also support with Meals on Wheels deliveries when needed. Each minibus is staffed with a driver and a passenger assistant team to support the clients during their journey. The transport teams have completed around 8500 miles this year to support clients to attend Day Care from Cheadle and the surrounding villages, including Tean, Werrington, Blythe Bridge and Kingsley.
The Voluntary Transport Scheme continues to operate for Cheadle and the surrounding area, in partnership with Moorlands Voluntary & Community Transport. Based from the Moorlands Home Link office in Cheadle, requests for transport are made over the phone by clients Monday to Friday from 10am to 12noon and these requests are handled by a volunteer telephonist. This is a much used and appreciated service and allows clients to access medical appointments with the help and support of a volunteer driver.
MEALS ON WHEELS
The Meals on Wheels service provides the opportunity for older members of the local community to receive a nutritional, hot meal delivered straight to their table. The meals are delivered Monday to Friday by volunteers and staff, to clients in Cheadle and Tean, with chilled meals delivered on a Friday for clients to reheat over the weekend. On average, 100+ freshly prepared two course meals are delivered to the local community each week and as part of this service a subtle safe and well check is carried out at each delivery.
Our Catering Department operate with an SMDC food hygiene rating of 5.
FUNDING and FUNDRAISING 2024/2025
All clients make a contribution towards the cost of our services, with the exception of the Befriending and Phone Link Service.
During this financial year, grants have been awarded from the North Staffordshire and Stokeon-Trent Integrated Care Board, Staffordshire Moorlands District Council, Cheadle Town Council, Local Parish Councils, and individual local Councillors.
As mentioned previously grant funding was also received from the SMDC UKSPF Community Infrastructure funds, Leek Building Society and the Vivensa Academy.
We are also a beneficiary charity of the SMDC Community Lottery, the lottery raises additional funds throughout the year to support our work.
We were fortunate to be chosen as one of the Staffordshire Moorlands District Council Chair's Charities of the Year for 2024 - 2025. The SMDC Chair, Cllr. Ian Plant will be holding various fundraising events throughout his year in office and monies raised will be donated at the end of his term in office to his chosen charities.
Alongside applications to various grant funding opportunities throughout the year we were please to be accepted as a chosen charity for the Co-op Local Community Fund.
We have hosted various fundraising events throughout the year and we are also grateful to members of the public who hold fundraising events on our behalf.
As stated earlier in this report, we move forward into the next financial year with a surplus of £20139. The MHL Board of Managing Trustees recognise that during the next financial year, 2025- 2026 additional efforts will need to be made to secure further funding through appropriate grant applications, donations and fundraising, to ensure the sustainability of the Charity and to build up financial reserves. The Trustees receive regular financial information covering income and expenditure and cash flow forecasts throughout the financial year to support their decision making. The Trustees will continue to monitor and review expenditure throughout the next financial year, to ensure financial efficiency across the whole organisation, and will take any necessary decisions to preserve the future of the Charity.
Donations and legacies received by the organisation during this financial year totalled £20237 We are extremely grateful for these funds which have been received from the many groups, organisations, local businesses, and individuals in the Moorlands area who continue to support the aims of our organisation. We have also been very grateful again to receive donations of various useful items of equipment, advice, and support, from local businesses this year.
PARTNERSHIPS
Throughout this financial year, MHL has partnered with FareShare, the UK's largest charity fighting hunger and food waste, this partnership also includes regular donations of food from Asda, Cheadle.
We have also worked in partnership with Cheadle Allotment Association who regularly donated surplus fruit and vegetables from their plots, to support our Meals on Wheels Service provision.
We continue to have a supportive partnership with Leek Building Society who regularly hold fundraising events to support ourselves and two other local charities. This partnership gives greater community connection for the society and its staff who have also volunteered with us. We are also very grateful to the Building Society for providing us with emergency use of a venue on a number of occasions this year.
We are also proud to working with Keele University to offer student placements. These valued placements provide training and insight into Adult Social Care and the role of the Voluntary Sector within health. We currently provide placements to Paramedic, Pharmacy, and General Medical students throughout the academic year.
During this year, we also worked in partnership with the Alzheimer’s Society and Dougie Mac who both operated support groups from our premises on a regular basis.
In conjunction with Outside Arts, our Day Care clients were able to craft Lanterns for the Cheadle Lantern Festival, as part of Cheadle Arts Festival week.
Our partnership with Cheadle and District Foodbank enabled us to work together to provide access to an emergency food box held at our premises. We were also proud to be able to work with the Foodbank to provide a large quantity of Christmas meals to their families in need.
Throughout the year, we have also worked in partnership with various local nursery, primary, and secondary schools to provide intergenerational working opportunities for our clients and their students.
VOLUNTEERS
We are extremely grateful to the many volunteers who give their time freely to support our work in the community. These valued volunteers deliver meals, support our Befriending service, help in Day Care and the Leek Group. Volunteers also provide telephonist support to the voluntary transport service.
We could not provide our services without the help we receive from the volunteers and the Managing Trustees and staff offer them their grateful thanks.
