## **THE NIDDERDALE PLUS PARTNERSHIP FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022 TRUSTEES’ REPORT** 

## OVERVIEW 

The Nidderdale Plus Partnership is an independent charity that supports the local community, including the local voluntary sector, through the advancement of education and provision of relief, help and advice to those in need. 

It aims to be a successful, sustainable community hub that is responsive, innovative, effective, well run and used, and able to adapt and develop to meet local needs. The Hub is centrally located, in Pateley Bridge, and provides a friendly place for people to visit for help or information, for advice or to access services. The partnership also operates a range of services from the premises. It is well established as a key anchor organisation in the delivery of services and projects in the Nidderdale area, with a proven track record for the facilitation of groups and partnerships to further the needs of the local community. 

Nidderdale Plus has changed rapidly since obtaining charitable status in 2015. Following a period of consolidation up to 2018, the charity made significant progress during 2019 to the extent that it was well placed to become a Community Support Organisation (CSO) at the start of 2020 when the global COVID‐19 pandemic began to affect the rural community. 

## OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES 

The year 2021‐2022 was another year that was very much impacted by the global COVID‐19 pandemic. The charity continued to take a pivotal role in the local area, in particular as a Community Support Organisation, to coordinate and deliver new and existing services as required during the pandemic. There were two other major areas of development for Nidderdale Plus which involved setting up a charity shop on Pateley Bridge High Street, and launching a Digital Champion project to enable people to either get on line for the first time, or improve their digital skills.  A separate section of the report covers these areas of work. 

The strategic aims and objectives were reviewed and updated during the year. They are now as follows: 

To be the home of community assistance 

- keeping up to date with community needs 

- reviewing and identifying current and future organisational needs 

- Implementing, or facilitating (via the Nidderdale Plus Local Fund*), initiatives and projects which meet identified needs and promote wellbeing 

- Working in partnership and cooperating with other organisations 

- To be the centre of high‐quality volunteering opportunities in Nidderdale 

To be financially sustainable 

- Identifying income requirements for existing services and sustaining contractual relationships with existing funders where possible (NYC and NY Police), and seeking contractual opportunities with additional statutory partners, especially the NHS and Social Services 

- Identifying income sources for additional projects and bidding for appropriate funds as and when they are needed 

- Ensuring effective operation of wholly owned trading company which exists to support the charity and contribute to the charity’s operational sustainability

## **THE NIDDERDALE PLUS PARTNERSHIP FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022 TRUSTEES’ REPORT** 

To be operationally efficient 

- To continue to digitise in house systems wherever appropriate 

- With effective people management, ensuring appropriate skills and experience 

- To conduct a training needs analysis to achieve the future development of staff and to offer appropriate training to volunteers 

- With effective performance management both relevant to Service Level Agreements (SLAs) and for our own organisational and planning needs, establishing a bespoke data management system and an outcomes measurement system in 2022 

- With effective volunteer involvement and management 

- With effective safeguarding policies and procedures that are reviewed annually 

To be effective communicators 

- externally with customers, press, commissioners, funders and local people 

- internally with staff, volunteers, members and partners 

To maintain and further develop current and prioritised community services 

- Community library, including our own jigsaw library 

- Community transport, now including drivers using their own cars, and a prescription delivery service 

- Information, advice and support, and access to council services, including a Tourist Information Point 

- Police front desk 

- Meals on Wheels service and Digital Champion service 

- To prepare for offering a Minibus service, including Group Hire 

- Charity Shop which will also provide the source of the “Nidderdale Plus Local Fund” (See p.6, Nidderdale Charity Shop) to which local groups and charities can apply 

- Working in partnership we will continue to offer access to Citizens Advice and MIND mental health support 

During ‘normal times’ the charity’s activities aim to maintain, improve, and develop local services and improve access to existing and new community services. The charity provides a range of services in partnership with other organisations, these include a community library, community transport and access to County and Borough council services and local police front desk. The hub is a focal point for local people and organisations as well as visitors to the area; it also provides tourism information and office services from the non‐charitable company. There is a thriving group of dedicated volunteers who support the community hub and help to ensure it meets people’s needs. However, as the global pandemic continued throughout this period, it was essential that the charity continued to adapt to the changing circumstances and details follow.

**THE NIDDERDALE PLUS PARTNERSHIP FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022 TRUSTEES’ REPORT** 

## ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE 

As all the last financial year fell within the continuing COVID‐19 pandemic, it is right that this section has a focus on COVID‐19 and how Nidderdale Plus continued to meet need in our area.  Nidderdale Plus continued as a Community Support Organisation (CSO), commissioned by North Yorkshire County Council (NYCC), one of 23 that were operative across the whole.  CSOs were set up principally to address residents’ needs in their geographical area, as the unprecedented period of COVID‐19 set in, so that there would be a trusted and well known agency on the ground who could mobilise support and create and sustain new services to help people deal with the privations of lockdown and the unusual times we all had to live through. 

We changed, innovated and evolved through COVID primarily down two service routes: **central services** (provided by our staff and central volunteers) and **indirect (or devolved) services** (provided by neighbours and residents—all of whom are volunteers‐‐ at a community level). 

## **Central services** 

We continued to provide all our core services, but virtually all were adapted or enlarged during lockdowns, etc.  Examples of adaptation: 

**Community library** : we changed to offering home delivery to people wanting to receive books, DVDs, etc.  People could ring to talk through their book choices with our staff and our volunteer drivers using our community car would deliver books—all in a COVID secure way 

**Community transport** : As well as doing local book and jigsaw deliveries, we continued to offer the services of our car to the NHS and we have delivered across the whole district, either to all care homes or to all GP practices, a variety of health equipment on several occasions.  For example, we delivered  to all GP practices in Harrogate district over 100 blood pressure monitors that could be given to patients to record their own blood pressure. 

**Council Services** _:_ As a CSO we were regularly in touch with Adult Social Services, either to refer cases on, or to receive information from them about people and the help they needed. 

In addition to adapting existing services, we continued to offer the following services that we had started to offer at the beginning of the pandemic in the previous financial year. 

## **Prescription delivery** 

**Meals on Wheels** service and emergency food delivery 

**Jigsaw library** : In addition to the ever‐growing library at Nidderdale Plus, we developed two satellite jigsaw libraries at Darley Christ Church Community Centre and Summerbridge Methodist Church. 

**Transport to vaccination sites and hospital appointments** : We continued to borrow a minibus from local charity, Dementia Forward, so that we could temporarily enlarge our CT service to offer these two vital forms of transport.  Huge thanks to Dementia Forward for lending their minibus to us—it proved to be an invaluable addition to our CT service.  The minibus was finally returned in July 2021.

**THE NIDDERDALE PLUS PARTNERSHIP FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022 TRUSTEES’ REPORT** 

**Vaccination volunteers** : in concert with the other CSOs in the district, we continued to provide teams of volunteer marshals to Harrogate and Ripon mass vaccination centres.  We also provided volunteers at the Pateley Bridge Pharmacy vaccination sessions held at the Memorial Hall in Pateley Bridge. Andy Cockroft became a member of staff and took over the coordination and allocation of volunteers to vaccination sessions during the year, working for Nidderdale Plus. 

**Citizens’ Advice:** We continued to work with Harrogate Citizens Advice to provide monthly video‐link clinics for people who need advice on a wide range of topics. 

## **Indirect services** 

As the first lockdown began, in 2020, we had quickly established a network of community organisers (most often these people were from parish councils and churches), who had strong links into their communities and could harness the services of numerous volunteers who could span out through their communities to provide help with a variety of daily needs.  Probably the single most important factor behind the effectiveness of these people was their ability to use hyper‐local and trusted communication channels—that they were already using before the crisis began.  Sometimes this was a village Facebook group, sometimes a parish magazine or village newsletter, sometimes a village email group.  In this way they could both recruit volunteers quickly and pick up need. 

Nidderdale Plus continued to work with this network to resolve issues for local residents and to cascade out news and resources throughout the period of this report. 

## **New services: Non‐COVID** 

**Census Support Service** : We continued to offer this service, under contract with Good Things Foundation (who had been retained by the ONS).  The Census was in operation between 1 March‐5 May 2021, and two members of staff were trained by Good Things Foundation to be Census Support Advisers. They helped people who were not digitally enabled to complete their Census forms.  This proved challenging owing to lockdowns and the difficulty of dealing with people face to face. However, the initiative was a success and we managed to deal with a significant number of people and help them.  The knowledge gained during this period was helpful in designing the Digital Champion Service that we went to launch in November 2021. 

**Digital Champion Service** : We launched this service on 1[st] November 2021, having appointed Joanne Hayes as our Digital Champion Coordinator.  Jo’s priorities included the recruitment of volunteer Digital Champions to ensure we could reach a large number of people across Nidderdale and the Washburn valley and she quickly set to work recruiting volunteers and going out to find and help people who needed support in a variety of ways.  The early signs from the project were very encouraging and we successfully applied to Good Things Foundation for grant funding from the Connect Up Programme that was launched in January 2022.  In addition we were awarded grant funding from the NHS to promote the NHS app throughout our community and Mashamshire, and this work began in March 2022.

## **THE NIDDERDALE PLUS PARTNERSHIP FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022 TRUSTEES’ REPORT** 

**Nidderdale Charity Shop:** We took over the lease of what had been the Save the Children Charity Shop on Pateley Bridge High Street at the beginning of January 2022 and trading began on 18[th] February. The Executive Director, Helen Flynn, is the accountable officer for the charity shop and was responsible for setting up all systems and policies, etc, at the shop. We were extremely fortunate that many of the volunteers wanted to stay on and work at the new shop and they were extremely helpful in a number of ways during set up.   All trustees and staff are extremely grateful to them for their support and dedication.  The purpose of the Charity Shop is to support the communities of Nidderdale and Washburn, both through providing funding to some of Nidderdale Plus’s charitable activities, such as the community transport scheme and Meals on Wheels service, and by setting up a charitable fund, provisionally titled “Nidderdale Plus Local Fund”.  The idea behind the fund is that an annual allocation of profits from the shop go into the “Local Fund” and local groups, charities and organisations can bid into this annually to provide services and small capital schemes that will be of assistance to local people.  Trustees intend that Two Ridings Community Foundation will administer this grant scheme on behalf of Nidderdale Plus.  Though the finances of Nidderdale Charity Shop fall under our trading company, Nidderdale Ltd, Trustees feel that it is appropriate to report briefly on the operation and purpose behind the shop in the Nidderdale Plus Annual Report. 

**MIND Mental Health Service** : MIND began to offer outreach into Nidderdale and rented the meeting room at the hub one day per week, starting in November 2021, to facilitate this work. 

## **Usage:** 

Due to the closure of the hub because of the pandemic, it hasn’t been possible to provide usage data in the same form as previous years. However, the monitoring information collected as part of our work as a Community Support Organisation gives a good indication of the scale and volume of work carried out over the year. Performance management information is being reviewed in the light of the changing and developing nature of our services and will be included in next years’ report.

## **THE NIDDERDALE PLUS PARTNERSHIP FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022 TRUSTEES’ REPORT** 

Great credit must go to the staff members who worked diligently and selflessly throughout the whole of last year, often going beyond the call of duty and having to change their ways of working on an almost daily basis: Helen Flynn, Sandra Walker, Heather Blundell, Tracey Dawson, Joanne Hayes, Carole Cottrill, Andy Cockroft and Angela Raw.  The office was manned in a COVID‐secure way throughout the whole period, ensuring we could respond quickly to address residents’ needs. 

## **FINANCIAL REVIEW** 

## **Income and Expenditure during the year** 

Funds available to spend at the Charitable Company’s discretion (‘Undesignated Funds’) have increased by £38.2k this year. 

Significant changes this year were: 

- Community car income (£8.2k) is now substantially higher than pre‐Covid levels. 

- Staff costs increased due to the new Digital Champion Service, with the appointment of Joanne Hayes as our Digital Champion Coordinator. 

These accounts incorporate the trading subsidiary Nidderdale Ltd. Turnover has recovered to pre‐ Covid levels for normal trading activities. These have been augmented this year by the charity’s opening of the Nidderdale Charity Shop. Starting in the last few weeks of the financial year, it contributed £8k to turnover in 2021‐22, and is expected to contribute very substantially in future years. Much of the net profit will be disbursed to local charities and non‐profit groups, as mentioned in the Commentary above. Nidderdale Ltd’s reported net profit has reduced from 2020‐21 due to the start‐up costs for the charity shop and a government Covid‐19 grant received last year. 

## **Designated Funds** 

The trustees have decided to designate funding, as detailed below, to support an increase in future service delivery and the consequent enlargement of the staff team. 

Towards the purchase of a minibus, from the charity’s own funds               £8.2k Financial support to the minibus running costs for the first two years          £8.0k Additional post for a Marketing and Business Support Officer                     £22.5k Total £38.7k 

Staffing was reviewed in December 2021. The Board of Trustees are to re‐examine the staffing and resource requirements in December 2022 in view of the continuing changes to workload and the ongoing uncertain situation. 

The above funds, plus the designation for fixed assets held by the charity, amount to a total of £49.6k Designated Funds at the year ended 31 March 2022. 

Part (£7.8k) of the funds designated last year for the charity shop start‐up costs were not required and have been released back into Undesignated Funds.

## **THE NIDDERDALE PLUS PARTNERSHIP FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022 TRUSTEES’ REPORT** 

## **Restricted Funds** 

There are Restricted Funds of £24k. This is grant from NYCC towards the purchase of a minibus to support the community transport service. 

## **Reserves Policy** 

The Charitable Company’s policy has been to hold free reserves of £53,000 covering six months expenditure. This is due to uncertainty about future local authority funding following the change to a unitary authority in North Yorkshire, and the likelihood of other grant income being harder to obtain in a post‐COVID financial environment. A clearer picture about future funding is now emerging. SLA funding has historically been received from two principal authorities (Harrogate Borough Council and North Yorkshire County Council), as well as North Yorkshire Police, but it is now likely that the aggregate amount will materially reduce. 

At the year‐end on 31 March 2022, monies held in free reserves were £93,846 (2021 ‐ £55,619). This covers nine months total expenditure (2021 ‐ six months). Trustees believe greater cover to be prudent due to the increased likelihood of losing some historical funding under previous Service Level Agreements with local authorities.  This is due to local government reorganisation in North Yorkshire, due to take effect from 1 April 2023. 

## STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT 

## _**Constitution:**_ 

Nidderdale Plus is a registered charity and a company limited by guarantee. The Charitable Company was established under a Memorandum of Association which established the objects and powers of the Charitable Company and is governed under its Articles of Association. It also has a wholly owned subsidiary company, Nidderdale Limited, which operates non‐charitable activities for the benefit of Nidderdale Plus. 

## _**Recruiting and appointing Trustees:**_ 

Trustee vacancies are advertised, and applicants are interviewed prior to meeting with the full Board. Induction into the workings of the Charitable Company is carried out by Officers already serving on the Board with ongoing training being undertaken. 

## _**Organisational structure and decision making:**_ 

The Board of Trustees has overall responsibility for the organisation and ensuring that it is well run and that it continues to deliver the charitable outcomes for the benefit of the people for whom it has been set up. The Board develops the strategy and agrees and maintains the vision, mission, and values of the organisation. 

The Board meets at least six times per year, excluding the AGM, when it discusses and monitors the work and performance of the organisation. Board members also meet to progress initiatives and projects as well as with stakeholders. The Board also holds an annual ‘Away Day’ where strategy, priorities and performance are considered, and future plans agreed. 

During 2021‐2022 the Partnership employed one full time and five part time staff (some permanent and some fixed term), and employed four people on zero‐hours contracts. 

**Executive Director** : Helen Flynn **Community Hub Coordinator** : Sandra Walker **Business Support Officer** : Tracey Dawson (from March 2022) **Digital Champion Coordinator** : Joanne Hayes (from November 2021)

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102 (effective 1 January 2019) ‐ (Charities SORP (FRS 102)), the Financial Reporting Standard 102 Section 1A applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102 1A) and the Companies Act 2006. 

The Charitable Company is small and has taken advantage of the exemption provided by Section 7 of FRS 102 and has not prepared a Cash Flow Statement. 

The Nidderdale Plus Partnership meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102. Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy note(s). The accounts are prepared in UK Sterling and rounded to the nearest £. 

## **b) Going Concern** 

The Charitable Company has cash resources and has no requirement for external funding. The Charitable Company has seen its service levels and funding expand during the COVID‐19 pandemic. These additional services are fully funded with monies provided in advance. 

The Trustees therefore have a reasonable expectation that the Charitable Company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for 12 months from signing the accounts. They continue to believe that the going concern basis of accounting is appropriate in preparing the annual financial statements. 

## **c) Income** 

Donations and legacies are accounted for when they are receivable by the Charitable Company. Other income is accounted for on an accruals basis as far as is prudent to do so. 

## **d) Grant Income** 

Revenue grants are credited to the income and expenditure account at the time when they are entitled to the receipt. Any unspent restricted grants at the period end are carried forward as restricted funds in the balance sheet.

Staff costs  ‐ on a time basis 

Other direct charitable costs and costs of generating funds ‐ on an actual basis Support costs ‐ on the level of use/ actual basis where specific 

## **f) Taxation** 

As a registered Charity it benefits from rate relief and is generally exempt from Income Tax and Capital Gains Tax, but not from VAT. The Charitable Company is not registered for VAT and therefore the irrecoverable VAT is included in the cost of those items to which it relates. 

## **g) Tangible Fixed Assets** 

Individual fixed assets costing £100 or more are initially recorded at cost. 

Depreciation is provided at the following annual rate in order to write off each asset over its estimated useful life:

## **h) Investments** 

The investment in the Charitable Company's unlisted trading subsidiary is included at historical cost. 

## **i) Debtors**

## **j) Cash at bank and in hand** 

Cash at bank and cash in hand includes cash and any short term deposit accounts with a maturity of three months or less from the date of opening. 

## **k) Creditors and Provisions** 

Creditors and provisions are recognised where the Charitable Company has a present obligation resulting from a past event that will probably result in the transfer of funds to a third party and the amount due to settle the obligation can be measured or estimated reliably. Creditors and provisions are normally recognised at their settlement amount after allowing for any trade discounts due. 

## **l) Funds** 

The Unrestricted Funds are funds which the Trustees are free to use in accordance with the charitable objects. 

Designated Funds are funds set aside by the Trustees for specific purposes.
