The objects of the organisation are:-

WALTHEW HOUSE 2017 TRUSTEES’ AND DIRECTORS’ ANNUAL REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED MARCH 31 2022

Walthew House relies on the support of over 80 trained volunteers who support the charity in a wide range of ways including: staffing the resource centre and help desk, co-ordinating groups and activities, providing refreshments, assisting with communication support for British Sign Language users, acting as sighted guides for people with sight loss, and helping with fundraising.

ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE

At the start of the COVID pandemic Walthew House quickly adapted its services to meet the new and emerging needs of people with sight or hearing loss. During 2021/2 as guidelines changed, and it became possible to resume regular services and activities, the charity has continued to adapt service provision to meet changing needs, and some of the support provided, including ‘Tech Online’, ‘Check in and Chat’ and ‘Walk my Way’ have been incorporated into the charity’s regular services.

Walthew House now provides one or more kind of support to over 400 individuals each week. This includes an average of:

125 people accessing information and advocacy support through the Walthew House helpdesk (55), the Hospital Information Service (20) and Deaf Duty Sessions (10), together with a proportion of the 500 people who engage with the charity through social media
60 people accessing equipment and technology support through the not-for-profit resource centre, Technology Support Group and Tech one-to-one
175 people accessing one or more centre or community based social groups and activities tailored to the support needs of each client group and for all ages from five upwards
40 people accessing other services, including specialist sight loss counselling; information and other events; and lipreading and sensory loss awareness training.

In total the charity provided over 600 interventions in support of people with sight or hearing loss each week.

Key to this level of support was the three-year National Lottery Reaching Communities funded Making More Happen. The project has continued to work with individuals and groups to help to remove barriers to participation, so that more people with sight or hearing loss can remain or become active, make the most of their own abilities, and contribute to the life of their community, directly supporting over 1,500 people in 2021/2 and with a total of over 5,000 interventions/attendances.

The Hospital Information Service, established in 2019 and based in the Eye Clinics at Stepping Hill Hospital continues to provide invaluable support to people throughout their sight loss journey. The service is provided for two and a half days a week, supporting the retinal, glaucoma and low vision clinics, and focussing on patients with deteriorating eye conditions whose sight cannot be corrected. In the year to March 2022, 871 patients were seen in the eye clinics, of whom only c50% were at that point registered with a sight loss. At this stage patients are unlikely to be receiving support from social care and other services, affording Walthew House the opportunity to provide support at the earliest possible stage.

Patients are provided with information in accessible formats in the clinic, and follow up appointments are available to assist with accessing support from Walthew House, including assistive technology and equipment, sight loss counselling, social activities and practical support like filling in forms, and the support available from the sensory loss team at Stockport Council and other statutory and voluntary providers. Over the year more than 300 people have been referred to Walthew House for help with equipment and technology through the Resource Centre and Technology Group, accessible information services, sensory loss awareness training and assistance with form filling and claiming benefits.

WALTHEW HOUSE 2017 TRUSTEES’ AND DIRECTORS’ ANNUAL REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED MARCH 31 2022

Eleven people have been referred for free specialist sight loss counselling at Walthew House and nine people have joined regular sporting and social activities provided by the charity. In addition, the service has made 37 early referrals to the Sensory Loss team (at Stockport Council) and other contracted services (e.g., The Prevention Alliance), and 44 referrals to other voluntary services – including - Age UK, Stockport Car Schemes, Stockport Talking Newspaper Association and other sight loss charities, helping to ensure prompt and timely support for patients.

Another focus in year has been a comprehensive review and re-energising of the Walthew House Youth Club. The Club helps ensure that young people with sight or hearing loss have access to the same social and sporting activities that children without a sensory loss enjoy; helps members build relationships with their peers, and provides additional support to members and their families if they need it. The Club which has been running since 2010 has seen membership and regular attendance grow throughout the year, supported by an awareness campaign, new programme of activities and additional staffing support.

The needs and priorities for support identified by local people with sight or hearing loss are always at the heart of Walthew House service provision. In response to requests, ‘See Hear Stockport’, a regular preCOVID assistive equipment and accessible information event, was re-established. The event held in March attracted over 30 exhibitors and over 150 attendees. A new 10-week ‘Introduction to Lipreading’ course has also been successfully piloted following feedback from attendees on the charity’s ‘Making the most of your hearing’ course. The most substantive piece of work undertaken to inform service development has been a needs assessment ‘What do D/deaf people want?’ commissioned by Walthew House, Bolton Deaf Society and Manchester Deaf Centre. Undertaken by Forever Consulting, over 200 individuals with hearing loss and 30+ people in targeted focus groups have been surveyed. The report, due to be published in summer 2022, will help to ensure the D/deaf community’s voice is key to service development in Greater Manchester.

Raising awareness of the needs of people with sensory loss continues to be an important part of the work of the charity, ensuring lasting relationships are maintained with local communities, reaching more people directly and supporting early intervention. This is achieved through:

Talks and presentations to local companies and organisations, including staff and clients at the local Jobcentre and Stockport Advocacy; to community groups, including a local dementia club where talks were given on the connection between hearing and/or sight loss and dementia; and to local WI, Inner Wheel and Rotary clubs.
Attendance at more community events – including the local Rotary Club Duck Race where the Walthew House Steel Band performed
A blind/blindfold 10 pin bowling competition involved 17 teams drawn from local companies and community groups and Walthew House’s own bowling team helped to raise awareness of the challenges of sight loss
Working collaboratively with other organisations, including: Stockport Council Community Champions – promoting COVID recovery public health information messages; Healthwatch Stockport – identifying gaps and promoting accessibility; and participation in the Children’s Hearing and Vision Services Working Group with – Stockport Council’s Sensory Education Service, Seashell Trust, Stepping Hill Hospital and the wider voluntary sector – encouraging information sharing and good practice.

WALTHEW HOUSE 2017 TRUSTEES’ AND DIRECTORS’ ANNUAL REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED MARCH 31 2022

Trustees, following the Charity Commission’s updating of the Charity Governance Code, have commenced a wide-ranging review of governance practices, in line with the Code’s recommendations. Working towards the core values of Walthew House – to be ‘Responsive, Effective Supportive and Trusted’, an early focus has been a comprehensive review of Equality, Diversity and Inclusivity policy, strategy and practices. This work will continue into 2022/3.

FINANCIAL REVIEW

Overview

Income increased from c£271k to c£388k. This reflects the unpredictable pattern of short term grant support and donation and legacy income, as well as the impact of the pandemic. There was a surplus on unrestricted funds for the year of c£44k, after transfers to designated funds.

Principal funding sources

Although there has been an increase in community fundraising as activities return to normal after the pandemic, Walthew House continues to be funded mainly though charitable grants:

Charitable activities (including grants from trusts) – 38.8% Donations/memberships/subscriptions/revenue grants/legacies – 55.7% Income generation (room hire/resource centre) – 4.7% Investment income – 0.8%

Hospital Information Service - Atkinson in memoriam donation

The charity received a generous donation from the Atkinson family which has been designated to support the Hospital Information Service.

Investment policy and review

The trustees shall retain sufficient funds on deposit to satisfy short term (next 10 months) needs. The trustees shall take investment advice from an appropriate qualified and experienced investment adviser. The trustees have considered their attitude to risk and have chosen a risk level of 3-4 (*see below for definition) on a scale of 1 –10 where 1 is secure and 10 is aggressive. The trustees will avoid any investments that conflict with the aim of the charity. Any underperformance created by 4.1 is accepted by the trustees. The charity will only invest in markets that are closely regulated and compensation schemes are in place; will have a suitably diversified investment portfolio and be particularly wary of making speculative investments. The trustees to decide what yearly income they wish their investment to produce. The trustees review the charity’s investments at least every 6 months.

Walthew House recognises its responsibility to comply with all relevant legislation. Trustees will regularly review policies in the light of changes to legislation and amend the charity’s practices accordingly. *Definition of 3-4 - A level of risk in an investment in which the return should be better than that available from a high street deposit account but where the value of the investment will fall as well as rise. The investor would feel uncomfortable if the investments were likely to rise and fall in value rapidly.

Reserves

The Charity aims to hold up to twelve months expenditure in free reserves (unrestricted funds not invested in fixed assets or otherwise designated) because of the uncertainty over income in future periods. The charity’s free reserves at the year end were £415,758. The budget for 2022/23 is for £385,000 of expenditure. However, rising energy and other costs are expected to mean that reserves will have to be drawn on as we expect that this budget figure will be exceeded.

FUTURE PLANS

16[th] June 2022 sees the 200[th] birthday of the charity’s founder, John Walthew, and the 140[th] anniversary of the creation of the charity. As well as taking time to celebrate the legacy of support the Walthew family has given to Stockport people with sight or hearing loss, the anniversary provides a timely opportunity to begin new conversations about the future of the charity.

Looking ahead, Walthew House is focusing on projects which will facilitate early intervention, outreach and improving accessibility. Built on learning from the Making More Happen project, the ‘What do D/deaf people want?’ needs assessment and the flexible and responsive approach Walthew House has taken to providing wide-ranging support during the COVID pandemic, the charity is focusing on a ‘no wrong door’ approach to ensuring access to the full range of support provided by Walthew House. ‘Access All Areas’ is a multi-faceted project, based on the core values of Walthew House - to be Responsive, Effective, Supportive and Trusted – facilitating a co-ordinated service which is comprehensive, dynamic, and actively inclusive –

Responsive:
Providing a ‘safety net’ of accessible information and advocacy support, helping to prevent challenges becoming crises
Responding flexibly to evolving need
Effective:
Early intervention - including support for children and young people and their families through regular social opportunities and accessible information and advocacy support, and through a hospital-based information service reaching people with sight loss at the point of diagnosis
Outreach - including sight and hearing loss awareness training, and, following the charity’s comprehensive equality, diversity and inclusivity review, a more targeted approach to difficult to reach groups and individuals
Supportive:
Ongoing support to empower people, and sustain initiatives and groups both at the centre and in the community.
One-to-one support – including ‘check in and chat’ and other befriending services, specialist sight loss counselling and specialist advocacy services for British Sign Language users
Trusted:
Understanding that the quality of the service provided must be exemplary in order to maintain the charity’s reputation as a ‘one stop shop’ for anyone needing specialist help with sight or hearing loss
Being recognised both locally and across Greater Manchester as a reliable source of trusted information on sensory loss.
Publishing annual impact reports which transparently demonstrate the impact of our services and how funds have been effectively utilised.

Underpinning this work and ensuring the continuity and consistency of support that has been key over the long history of Walthew House, will be comprehensive governance and strategic reviews, and a commitment to additional resources bolstered by retaining project staff into permanent positions. This will be supported by a new senior fundraising and income generation role, tasked with diversifying income, alongside additional resources to ensure that income from charitable trusts is maximised.

Single asset purchases, not forming part of a related serious of transactions, costing less than £1,000 are not capitalised, but are written off as a revenue expense in the year of acquisition. Depreciation is provided to write off the cost less the estimated residual value of tangible fixed assets by equal instalments over their estimated useful economic lives as follows:

Buildings - 1% Fixtures - 6.67% or 10% Equipment - 20% Furniture - 10% Restricted project assets - over the life of the project

Investments, gains and losses

Fixed asset investments are a form of basic financial instrument and are initially recorded at their transaction value and subsequently measured at their fair value as at the balance sheet date using the closing quoted market price. The SoFA includes the net gains and losses arising on revaluation and on disposals throughout the year.

The investments are identified within the portfolio as specific holdings of shares, unit trusts and bonds (as well as cash). However Pennine Wealth Solutions (with who the portfolio is invested) makes trading decisions for a range of clients and the sales and purchases attributable to the charity are part of much larger transactions. Subsequently there are many more sales and disposals than would normally be expected for this size of holding and the trustees do not consider it to be practical or cost effective to calculate the individual realised gains and losses on transactions, or the carrying cost of disposals. Therefore disposals are shown at net sale proceeds rather than at carrying value.

The net gain or loss on valuation is calculated on the difference between the opening market value as adjusted for disposals at net proceed value and additions at cost compared to the closing market value. The resulting gain or loss is charged to the Statement of Financial Activities in the year.

Stocks

Stocks of goods for resale are valued at the lower of cost or net realisable value. The cost of handicraft goods made by members for resale and held at the balance sheet date are not included in the balance sheet.

Financial instruments

The charity has only basic financial instruments which are initially recorded at cost, and with the exception of investments (as set out above) subsequently measured at their settlement value.

Judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty

The preparation of the financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported. These estimates and judgements are continually reviewed and are based on experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.

Cashflow Statement

Advantage is taken of the exemptions allowed in the SoRP for small charities not to prepare a cashflow statement.
