Levenshulme Good NeIgh1￿￿r5 CIO Objectlves and activities The purposes of the charity are to relieve the needs of the elderly for the public benefit through the provision of support servi￿5 and activities to help relieve social isolation caused as a result of their age and to enable them to live independently in society. The main activities are the provision of a volunteer befriending seThice as well as events and activities for older people in the Levenshulme area. The trustees confirm that they have referred to the Charity Commission's guidance on public benefit when reviewing the Charitrfs aims and objectives. in planning future activities, and setting the policies for the year. The charity has furthered its charitable purposes for the public benefit through improving the lives of vulnerable and isolated older people in the community of Levenshulme. Many of the people we help don't have the support in their area to rely on for the practical things in life, or for companionshlp. Our work involves recruiting volunteer befrienders from the area who help people in a wide ran8e of social, emotional and practical ways. this includes.. visiting a housebound person helping people with limited mobility get out into the community helping older people get online helping with odd jobs and errands escortin8 older people to appolntments. social events and actlvlties having fun days out together We offer artivitles, social events, days out and training opportunities to older people, $0 they can make the most of their time in ways that are meaningFul to them. A Tevlew of our achlevements and performance: How our artMtie5 dellvered public benefit: It has been a successful year, albeit with changes in government, the cost of livin8, reappraisal of winter fuel payments, and shuffling of personal independent payments and pension Credit to combat. Our beneficiaries are one of the most at-risk groups affected by such changes and the overload of mixed messages. Some continue to cling to outmoded, panic-stricken ways of life, harking back to the red alert pandemic phase that the nation experienced at the expense of their sense of feeling pleasure and autonomy in later life. This is where we can make the most impact. Amidst this upheaval and uncertainty. Levenshulme Good Neighbours has continued to befriend, be a local outlet to the house bound and isolated older people in the M19 area IM12, and M181, advocating on their behalf, ensuring they receive their 5tstutory entitlements, thus alleviatlng the rigors financial scarcity may have on mental health and well-being. In the Year ending September 2024. LGN ILeven5hulmè Good Neighboursl saw some work, and seeds sown from previous years that have been going on peripherally, such as.. fundraislng strategies, volunteer recruitment sourcin& staff appraisals. board-member recruitment. and spearheading of local partnerships, yteld optimally during the season. However. the charrty, and the regulars, associates, partners. and friends were greatly moved by the loss of three of its long-time beneficiaries (both over between the tate and earty 905 years of age). T￿re are 19,648 residents in Leven5hulme Good Neighbours CIO Levenshulme, a fraction (under ICA) are 90 years of age). LGN has been catering to a significant number of this fraction Ithe over 90s in Levenshulmel for over 12 years. Many beneficiaries have echoed that they don't know where therfd be without U5.

There was a reduction in social isolation and loneliness experienced locally by those aged in their mid-70s and over, and who are housebound in particular, indlcated 75% of our service users who reported that they felt less lonely, socially isolated, and more connected than before 9. There was a reported 40% redudion in repeat critical fa115 experienced by our service users due to the welfare checks, visitations. staff and volunteer call outs to malntaln service user safety, and well-being 10.

Social workers and nurses have approached us to volunteer as befrienders because the state does not have such a service; therefore, the need for our service delivery in the area is even more acute.

LGN continues to provide feedback to the digital inclusion team on case studies and findings as to the extent to which the tech and device rollouts are for people who are digitslly excluded and are older socially isolated. and over 70 years of age. LGN has this captured in both narrative and survey formats. Last year, the charity infomally used the central organising coTrcepts of the Theory of Change model Idrawing influence from the case study of the Home Office and the settling of refugees ift inner cities) to make the best of well-treaded areas of knowledge the charity has held to be fed back to statutory stakeholders as well as to build campaigns around. This in effect benefits future service users, as the needs ol over 60's are becoming more complex in the mental health and cognitive decline area. That is the theory of being agents of change in such a field as adult social and he31th care. Change from the status quo, the rborm. Change from Nurses and Social Workers echoing each other's sentiment that there isn't enough provision for socially isolated and lonely referrals ISILRI who have mixed cognitive and physical conditions. Point one from last year was.. 11 Having clearty defined perimeters with statutory referral sources, and network organi5ations on what the problem with socially i501ated referrals (SIRI are, the breadth of complexity, and what can or cannot be expected in a glven time frame. We addressed this bv increasing engagement with the referrers. Meetings with key stakeholders, and internal plans to continue to demystify befriending, feedback aims and updates to the referrers, and maintain that they speak. and act as LGN'S agents in their circle of Influence. so that Health and Sociol Care workers are not Stretched because they are missin8 the gap of awareness of befriending services such as what LGN offers. Point 4 was.'141 Finallyi what could be implemented 'hurdle-free,' in terms of jolned.up thinking and decision-making between sectors. networks. partners, and within the charity? This is beyond our bounds. but something that the reigning government and local authorities would have to steer alongside donors, fundholders, especially those that are 8eared towards agein8 in place, ageing comfortably. This was taken from an interview with a member of the BBC who was interested in communal groups on the A6 road such as Leven5hulme Good Neighbours. and its aim5 in the neighbourhood. "One of the thing51 like about Manchester is that it is very tentralised in its networks. We use MACC, a volunteer hub and we also get prospective volunteers coming to our website and we do outreach at universitie5. People are very keen to volunteer, and I love working with Students because they are so enerRetic and want to make a difference. so idealistic, like I was before I became part of the system I I've had five years in the charity, and during Covid. we did find the 'Blitzkrie8' or 'love thy neighbour, spirittook place. On the volunteer side. we have had a mixture of people, even younger people, saying that they felt socially isolated and lonely, that they needed to get used to speaking to people again. Unfortunately, on the older side, the confidence that they had to come out of their house for a walk Levenshulme Good Neighbours ao to, say a cornrnunity centre, was heavily impacted by the news feeds they were getting about infection. This set us back a year or two, especially with the BAME community, regarding coming out of their homes to community centres.- Befriendin in the ear 2023 24 Our work aims to tackle the root problems experienced by our beneficiarie5 in many ways. More than 50 beneficiaries are directly supported through LGN (we are on track at 1201. The first chief aim is to have a healthy feedback loop between ourselves and the referrer so that the referred lour beneficiaries) do not feel they are receiving a fragmented statutory service. We are technically a socially prescribed intervention. non-medical. Hence, through distU55ion as a therapeutic outlet, Issues such as loss. finan￿5, loneliness, and their factors can be brought to light rather than their symptoms leading to GP and A+E for someone to talk to because they feel left out. LGN continues to implement the objertives set out in its responsive plan, which initially foresaw these factors. Thus, LGN was effectively but cautiously able to continue to alleviate social isolation and loneliness experienced by older lover 55-year-oldsl who are suffering from bereavement, have had a recent fall, or are reported to suffer from mental illne55 of some kind and have been referred to LGN for befriendin& companionship and prattical help. One of the area5 of the plan that has proved instrumenLIl Is where LGN has altered its model to allow for more change in people's lives. This can help our volunteers reach more service Ltsers in less time. Intended to increase the contact hours that some of our high-priority and complex needs clients can get if they desire it. It could have one service user be matched to two different befrienders and vice versa. Increasing choice and enabling less dependency, again, refletts the big change5 in people's lives at the moment. Our longest befriending companionship is 5 years. The average age of our volunteer befriender is 48. And the average age of our service users is 75. This displays our intergenerational reach that creates a platform for 5harin8, learning, connectin& and mutual exchange of lived experiences. Our cohort of volunteers come from mixed social and cultural background5 and as such languages other than English can be communicated if it is more effective to SUPPOrt and assist service user5 in booking appointments, or other areas of advocacy, a focus on reflecting more of the BAME (census 2021 shows that more than 45% of the ward Levenshulme identify as Asian) cohort proportionally is a150 a key driver for the charity. Some case studie5 and feedback from one of our befriending matched companionships Jimmy 74 and Felix 79: -He was just waking up when I visited him14pmishl and expecting Jo Felix He had already had his meal prepared by his carer Ann l asked about his tablet device and if he had been browsingor using it recently, to which he answered he had Levenshulme Good Neighbours CIO l asked about his former carer.

Flnanc5al revlew The long-term fundraising strategy of Levenshulme Good Neighbours has seen the organisatlon celebrate its 12th consecutive year. Thi5 year. we further aligned with local communSty groups such as Inspired Taskforce, Inspire Community Centre, 422 Hub Stockport Road, and the associated Good Neighbours groups in South Manchester towards the joint goals of improving the lives of older and socially isolated lonely people. We continue to diffuse the negative impact from the pandemic into new opportunities to consolidate our mission for older people in Ml9. al We are still making tracks with our relatively new portal for donations via the website Just Giving in terms of the demographics of the donors, and how to boost the visibility of our cause to be more prolific, buzzing around in areas where potential donors remain dormant, to awaken their altruistic inclinations. bl LGN was grateful for the funding amount of £13,500 to meet the operational expenses of the charity, and provide outcomes in the areas of reducing critical falls amongst the aged, as well as usage of more warm spaces, hopefully reducing energy bills. engagin& shimmering more with the BAME community, and alleviating soclal isolation, and loneliness amongst our setvice users by 75% by the 2. year of funding. cl We were delighted to have worked with IOGM Salford CVS'S Walking and Wheellng Campaign, a seasonal initiative to bridge the gaps. plug the holes In provlslon, and secure 58fe, yct necessary, means for older people who need or use walking aids to get out and about during the winter months.
