(CIO – FOUNDATION) Registered Charity No. 1169394 (Formally known as North Worcestershire DIAL 1996-2018) (Former Registered Charity No. 1053933 removed 25/3/18) **Registered Office** in Green Street Depot Green Street Kidderminster DY10 1HA **Helpline / Office** 01562 60241 **Fax** 01562 60241 **Email** admin@dialinworcestershire.org.uk **Website** www.dialinworcestershire.org.uk ## **Trustees** **Chair** Winston Davis (WD) **Vice Chair** Iain Trethewey (IT) Jim D. Smith (JDS) David Wood (DW) ## **Bankers** National Westminster Bank Plc. (NatWest) 135 Bishopsgate, London EC2M 3UR ## **AIMS AND OBJECTIVES** D.I.A.L. in Worcestershire’s aim is to provide support & relief for those with a disability within the North Worcestershire area, enabling them to make informed decisions about their own lives, through the provision of confidential information and advice services. ## **The services are free although donations are always welcome.** In order to fulfil these aims and objectives of DIAL in Worcestershire are: - - To promote the relief of persons with a disability within the Worcestershire area - To assist people to overcome their disability by the provision of an information and advice service on matters affecting their disability (also to carers and professionals supporting individuals) - To undertake activities which help to empower and improve the circumstances of people with a disability - To ensure that decision making in the CIO is undertaken by Trustees with personal and/or professional experience of disability **2** ## **TRUSTEES REPORT** ## **Dial in the Park:** As with the previous report year, the significant office issues this year has been Covid19 related and the need to work from home bases with very limited use of the office for essential banking purposes. Our information/administrator employee has been furloughed and any essential activity has been undertaken as a member of the volunteer team whose activities have sustained Dial activity in these extraordinary times. The year has been again located at our temporary home in Brinton Park. It was been a popular appointment venue with good parking and comfortable facilities and its semi-independent position have been enjoyed by most if not all users. Still no word has been heard about re-location but informal enquires have advised that all space at Green Street is being used by WFDC staff. It may be necessary to look for an alternative base in the future. **Rent is paid up to 26/3/22** ## **Innovation:** **Remote working,** including form filling assistance over the phone has followed changes to our working practices to ensure Covid19 safety and the volunteer’s identities. The website and Guide to Services have been revised to reflect the greater need and use of on-line activity. There are two projects under development, the loan of equipment to facilitate individual to self-help on the internet, research and/or form filling. We are receiving support from the Worcestershire Community Foundation Covid19 Fund and the DLO Covid19 Fund. As well as equipment they are helping with employment costs up to mid-summer 2021. Both funders have monitoring requirements and reports will be completed for the restricted funds being provided. **Kickstart,** a supported employment programme for young people under 24 run by the DWP, it has been registered for, but we have said we need to secure a better Covid19 security before commencement. It is planned to emulate other similar work we have undertaken in the past and which produced win-win-win outcomes for trainees, service users and Dial. ## **WAN Partnership:** There have been several extensions to the WCC contract held by Citizens Advice for WAN. Partnership meetings have been held by video link and WD has been taking part in these activities. ## **Volunteering Successes and Challenges:** We must acknowledge the invaluable contributions made by volunteers, operationally and in governance and several certificates have been awarded. However, we still struggle to attract further volunteers which limits what we can take on; a situation which remains untenable in the longer term. ## **FINANCE REPORT** ## **Financial Review** In the financial year we spent **£14,199.60** Our Funds at the beginning of the year were **£3,039.90** and at the end **£14,244.68** ## **Notes to the Accounts** - These Accounts are prepared in accordance with the Charities Act 2011 and SORP 2006 - These Accounts are prepared on Income and Expenditure basis and all income and expenditure is included when due. - All Fixed Assets are fully depreciated **3** ## **REVENUE ACCOUNT** ## **1[st] April 2020 to 31[st] March 2021** |**Details**|**Info & advice**|**WCF**|**D A**|**Overheads**|**Total**||**2019/20**| |---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---| ||||||||| |**Expenditure**|**£ p**|**£ p**|**£ p**|**£ p**|**£ p**||**£ p**| ||||||||| |Advertising/Recruitment
