Page 1 **SUPPORT NORTHAMPTONSHIRE** ## **REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2023** ## **OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES Objectives and aims** The focus of SN is the preservation and protection of health and wellbeing. Our Purpose is to build sustained, long-term resilience for people and communities. Our aims are to provide support for vulnerable people, enable asset-based community-led social action and support organisations to collaborate. ## Our objectives are: 1. To provide one to one person centred, strength and outcomes focussed support for vulnerable people. 2. To enable local people and communities to take social action that enhances wellbeing of communities and builds strong and resilient communities. 3.To support and develop strong and resilient organisations that can adapt to and meet community needs. 4.To lead on digital inclusion and transformation that enables organisations to collaborate and meet outcomes for communities and vulnerable people. 5. To host and co-ordinate the work of Northamptonshire Black Communities Together (NBCT) bringing together Black Community Organisations. NBCT is a collaboration of over 25 black organisations. ## **Activities during the year ended 31 March 2023** ## Our main activities were - A Community Champions programme which began in April 2021 to address the disproportionate impact of Covid-19 on black communities. This was funded initially by central government through the Borough Council of Wellingborough and then by North Northamptonshire Council through Covid COMF funding. This funding ended on 30 April 2022. - Asha Deep (Hope & Light) Community Champions programme continued following emergency response for Black communities during Covid. This was funded this year by Northamptonshire Community Foundation (Compton and Travis funds), Teamwork Trust, Northamptonshire Sport, North Northamptonshire Council, Northamptonshire NHS Foundation Trust (Ageing Well programme), Peoples Health Trust (Active Communities programme) and The Good Things Foundation (Digital Inclusion programme). Our Asha Deep programme provides support to mainly Asian communities across Northamptonshire and is highly valued by local Asian communities in building community connections, easing isolation and promoting digital inclusion. - Northamptonshire Black Communities Together (NBCT) collaboration brings together 25 Black organisations in Northamptonshire. This was funded this year by Northamptonshire NHS Foundation Trust (MHLDA programme). In this project we developed an Equalities Framework to ensure that the NHS took account of equalities issues in developing new services for Mental Health, Learning Disability and Autism (MHLDA). NBCT also ran a Black Community Forum as part of our collaboration with Made with Many. - A Community Safety project in partnership with Made with Many and funded by the Police, Fire and Crime Commissioner for Northamptonshire, with additional funding from Made with Many. Made with Many is a community-led arts programme which produces events and activities. SN has been collaborating with Made with Many to produce activities which enhance wellbeing and promote social action. - A major new Support North Northants (SNN) programme in collaboration with North Northamptonshire Council (particularly Adult Social Care and Public Health), Northamptonshire NHS and VCSE partners Serve and Groundwork Northamptonshire. This programme has been in discussion since January 2022 in the context of the objective of integrating Health and Care services including VCSE sector. Funding of £520,000 was secured and the programme began in January 2023. The Trustees are aware of the Charity Commission Guidance on public benefit and have applied that guidance in setting the plans for SN and in making decisions. Over a number of years SN has, with IT partners, built an innovative platform called OnePathway to manage support services and in particular to evaluate the effectiveness of those services in achieving real outcomes for people. We are now promoting this system to public authorities and to other charities to improve the performance of support services.This generates an income for SN to support our core services. Page 2 **SUPPORT NORTHAMPTONSHIRE** **REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2023** ## **ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE Charitable activities** ## **Community Champions - Covid response for Black communities** This programme concluded successfully in April 2022 and our achievements were reported last year. ## **Asha Deep** During the year we ran a wide range of programmes to promote physical, mental and social wellbeing to overcome disadvantage, enable equal access to services and to tackle health and other inequalities for Asian Communities. Our Ageing Well programme was funded by Northamptonshire NHS Foundation Trust. This ran alongside our Active Communities programme which was funded by The Peoples Health Trust and by Northamptonshire Sport. In these programmes we delivered an integrated series of weekly, monthly and one-off wellbeing activities providing mental, social and physical wellbeing both in-person and online. This included - Weekly Exercise Classes - Yoga - Weekly Singing Sessions - Weekly Ladies Swimming - Kem Chho Café (Emotional Wellbeing) - Walk & Talks - Monthly wellbeing get-togethers: Bowling, Wellbeing Trips - Monthly Digital sessions We delivered 122 online wellbeing sessions, 108 in-person sessions, 4 quarterly feedback sessions (Focus groups) and18 monthly and joint sessions. Over 100 people participated in these sessions. Many of the activities were set up in response to requests from communities. As part of the Ageing Well programme we also provided in-depth one to one support to a number of individuals. During the year we had 88 referrals, with 35 receiving short term support and 53 being assessed and received longer term support. We have built considerable trust with families and communities with this service. This has major benefits for NHS and Adult Social Care as it relieves some of the pressure on their services. The NHS has continued to support the programme for the year ended 31 March 2024 and plans are in place to extend the service to other black communities as soon as funding is available. One of the requests we received from communities was for support in using digital technology which is now essential for people to keep in touch and to deal with health and financial matters. With funding from Northamptonshire Communities Foundation Travis fund we ran 4 workshops with 39 people in attendance demonstrating how to use devices for various purposes. We also provided one to one support and we were able to give devices to some beneficiaries who could not otherwise afford to buy them. We have continued this support from funding The Good Things Foundation. Digital Transformation is now very much part of the service Support Northamptonshire offers alongside our OnePathway platform. ## **Northamptonshire Black Communities Together (NBCT)** ## **NBCT** NBCT now has a membership of 27 Black organisations, individual members and key strategic partners. NBCT continues to build on the strengths of its members and services offered for Black communities. Regular newsletters and communications with members have been established and we are building on key projects aimed at demonstrating how services can be more accessible and targeted for Black communities. We are also represented and working with the Integrated Care Service to look at the health inequalities and plans to overcome these. Page 3 **SUPPORT NORTHAMPTONSHIRE** ## **REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2023** ## **MHLDA project** The Mental Health Learning Disability Collaborative invited NBCT to support the work of the Equality Enabler group. We developed a 6 month project working with 5 NBCT partners and QSpace representing the LGBTQ community. The aims of this project were: - a. Equality perspectives are understood and accepted by all the pillar leads and participants. - b. Positive action plans (time-lined and costed) are in place for each pillar and respective projects. - c. Specific mental health services scoped and planned for equality groups - d. Equality groups believe they have been effectively engaged and involved. - e. Leadership of the Equalities Enabling Group is effective and valued. - f. Practical and tangible equality outcomes are achieved from this work. - g. Sustained commitment to equalities and positive action plans now and in the future. This work completed in June 2023 and has made 7 key recommendations. ## **Healthy Heart Campaign** This project is aimed at overcoming health inequalities by identifying undiagnosed Atrial Fibrillation (AF) and Hypertension (HTN) for Black communities in Northamptonshire and to offer a pathway to full diagnosis and treatment. The project aims to support people in Black communities by: - Offering opportunistic screening for AF leading to referral and treatment where undiagnosed AF is present. - Receiving health promotion and health awareness support - Improving the accessibility and quality of services people receive from health services. - 8 NBCT organisations are involved in this project ## **Community Safety** This project runs a variety of activities for young people. The aims are to: 1. Enable young people to develop and take ownership of the Youth Forum, by designing the branding and actions of the group. 2. Give opportunities for young people to be consulted on issues that affect them within their communities, giving a 'voice' to young people in Wellingborough. 3. Offer opportunities for skills development by allowing young people to decide on key social action and creative skills programmes for other young people in Wellingborough. 4. Build confidence, give the young people a chance to express themselves and promote youth social action through creative means ## Achievements 59 young people have been involved, 7 potential young leaders have been identified, 17 sessions were held, 3 social actions projects took place over 10 social action days, 8 skills development workshops and 17 creative workshops with 425 volunteering hours have been delivered in the project. ## **Support North Northants** Support Northamptonshire was originally set up to promote collaboration between VCSE organisations and to relieve the pressure on NHS and Adult Social Care services. Between 2013 and 2017 we ran a support service in Wellingborough which provided a model for integrated health and wellbeing services. We developed OnePathway as a case management system and more importantly to enable data sharing within a secure environment that complied with Data Protection regulations. We were unable to secure continuing funding in 2017 but re-establishing this service has been one of our key aims. After long discussions with Northamptonshire NHS, Public Health and North Northamptonshire Council we successful in securing support and funding for a major programme which began in January 2023. After detailed planning and recruitment of staff the service is now up and running and has taken on its first batch of referrals from Adult Social Care. With our partners we have built considerable commitment and momentum in this project. We have set up systems to monitor performance and outcomes to create the business case for continuing funding. Page 4 **SUPPORT NORTHAMPTONSHIRE** **REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2023** ## **Digital inclusion and transformation** We have continued to develop OnePathway as an IT platform to suit a variety of organisations. We have developed a wider digital inclusion and transformation strategy to support individuals and organisations. This year we have been able to fund the acquisition of tablets to provide to beneficiaries together with training and support on their use. ## **Employment and volunteering** As part of these programmes SN has been able to provide employment and volunteering opportunities. During the year we provided employment to 17 people, mainly part-time. Some of the employees were previously volunteers in local communities and we were able to provide employment opportunities to them. Our salary payments amounted to around £137,000 (2022 £146,000). ## **FINANCIAL REVIEW** ## **Financial position** At 31 March 2023 SN held £215,228 in reserve of which £63,497 was unrestricted. SN aims to build and maintain a level of reserves that will enable the charity to protect against any dramatic fall in unrestricted income or unexpected rise in expenditure in order to meet its commitments. The Trustees' Finance Policy states that SN's reserves should be maintained at a minimum of three months budgeted unrestricted expenditure. Should unrestricted reserves fall to the six-month expenditure level, the Chair of Trustees will convene a meeting to assess the situation and to put a plan in place to avoid reserves falling below the three-month level. ## **STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT Governing document** The charity is controlled by its governing document, the Articles of Association, and constitutes a limited company, limited by guarantee, as defined by the Companies Act 2006. ## **Recruitment and appointment of new trustees** The board of trustees identify further skills required and seek to appoint new members to strengthen the board and where necessary to replace any member who decides not to seek re-appointment. New appointments are considered and agreed by all trustees at a meeting of the board, with appointments being approved by members at the next AGM. Support Northamptonshire seeks to appoint trustees from its members, its customers and also from private sector organisations to ensure a diversity of skills and experience. New trustees are invited to attend a trustee meeting prior to appointment. Following appointment new trustees are inducted into the charity. ## **REFERENCE AND ADMINISTRATIVE DETAILS Registered Company number** 09569973 (England and Wales) ## **Registered Charity number** 1161753 ## **Registered office** Victoria Centre 46-50 Palk Road Wellingborough Northamptonshire NN8 1HR Page 5 SUPPORT NORTHAMPTONSHIRE REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2023 Trustees J Bruce T Davy Chair of Trl￿tee$ AROY R Adams R Shah AW8n￿l A Ogunbuylde {app)int&J 3111rz21 Independont Examlnor DNG Cknve Nalsh LLP Chartered Aocountanls Eagle House 28 Billlng Road Northampton North8mplonshlre NN15 Th16 report has been prepared In a¢¢ordanee wmh the speclal provblons of Part 15 of the companles Act 20C6 relating lo small companies.

(5,336)| |---|---|---| ## **Asha Deep** The Asha Deep project addresses the disproportionate impact of Covid-19 on BAME communities. ## **Community Champions** Funded by the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government (MHCLG) and North Northamptonshire Council, Community Champions is aimed at supporting people from black communities and disabled people adversely impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic by providing advice, guidance and vaccination information to ensure that people remain safe, healthy and happy. ## **Northamptonshire Black Communities Together (NBCT)** The NBCT fund was set up to develop and enhance effective and sustainable infrastructure between Black Community organisations, to enhance collaboration and to improve support, services and resources for black communities. ## **Community Safety** This fund was set up to engage young people in creative activities. The project is run in collaboration with our partner Groundwork Northamptonshire (Made with Many). ## **Support North Northants** Support North Northants has been set up as a collaboration between North Northamptonshire Council, NHS Northamptonshire and the VCSE sector in Northamptonshire as part of the Integrated Care Service initiative for the county. The initial funding has been provided by North Northamptonshire Council and Voluntary Impact Northamptonshire.
