Trustees Report

The trustees present the annual report together with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 December 2021.

Objectives and activities

Objects and aims

(1) The relief of Deaf, Deafened Hard of Hearing and Deafblind people, including their families and carers, resident in Staffordshire and Stoke-on-Trent and surrounding areas by the provision of services, information, support, advice, education and facilities in the interests of social welfare and other leisure-time occupation with the object of improving the conditions of life of such people.

(2) The advancement of public education including but not limited to raising awareness of issues of deafness to the wider public.

DEAFvibe aims to support people who are Deaf, Hard of Hearing and Deafblind as well as their families, friends and carers in Staffordshire and Stoke-on-Trent.

It is DEAFvibe’s belief that all deaf people should be treated equally and with respect, that access to information & communication is provided without barriers or prejudice, promoting equal participation and opportunities in life.

Communication whether it be written, verbal or through visual information is a vital need to have a sense of belonging in society.

Our vision is:

• to create a safe, friendly and relaxed environment where individuals can communicate, share feelings and offer support to each other;

• to create a safe, friendly and relaxed environment where individuals can communicate, share feelings and offer support to each other;

• to create opportunities for individuals to accept and develop skills in coping with their own experiences of deafness or Deafblindness.

• to encourage individuals to use their expertise and knowledge to empower others;

DEAFvibe's philosophy is “Deafness = Equality & Access = Fairness”

VIBE is linked with what it means to have a hearing loss:

• the sharing of experiences of knowing what it is like to be deaf.

V.I.B.E. = “Visually Inclusive by Everyone”

Public benefit

The Café DEAFvibe generally runs on the 2nd Saturday of every month from 9.30am - 1.00pm, but due to the pandemic and the rules of lockdown the last cafe was held in February 2020. When lockdown was eased in July 2020 there was some discussion around when and if the Cafe’s could restart. After looking at all the issues, especially around access to information, communication and language needs of our client group and the wearing of face masks and hands-on-hands signing for those who are Deafblind - it was recognised that the risks of meeting were too great until COVID vaccinations were available. Bradwell Lodge Community Centre in which DEAFvibe hires a room also had to make their own difficult decisions whether they could open up again to the general public.

The twice monthly DEAFvibe HUB is generally held on the 1st and 3rd Friday of every month at Bradwell Lodge Community Centre from 10am to 3pm. It is usually well attended. Due to lockdown rules the HUB had to close in March 2020, and as yet it has not recommenced due to the risks and the ongoing work commitments of one Trustee who runs these sessions.

The VIBE – a weekly peer to peer support group continues to be well attended by its regulars via Zoom which was a new area of development for everyone involved. The aim of The VIBE “Visually Inclusive By Everyone” is to support deaf, hard of hearing, deafened and hearing aid users, together with family and friends in exploring all means of communication using an holistic approach to listening, lip reading, maximising use of hearing aids, using sign language, facial expressions, body language and technology to ensure Total Communication is explored and embraced by everyone.

Due to the pandemic in 2020, DEAFvibe were unable to participate in the Christmas Sign Singing fundraising events to raise much needed funds and boost deaf awareness. However, the confidence of Friends of DEAFvibe is that they are determined they will continue to practice so they can start again in the future.

The trustees confirm that they have complied with the requirements of section 17 of the Charities Act 2011 to have due regard to the public benefit guidance published by the Charity Commission for England and Wales.

Use of volunteers

DEAFvibe is run by the Board of Trustees (volunteers) and a strong committed team of volunteers who are Deaf, Hard of Hearing, Deafened, Deafblind and Hearing – it includes Friends of DEAFvibe as well as their families and friends.

Our commitment to ensure that this client group are “treated equally and with respect, that access to information & communication is provided without barriers or prejudice, promoting equal participation and opportunities in life” clearly demonstrates that DEAFvibe is fortunate to retain volunteers over long-periods of time.

As with any charity, we appreciate that volunteers come and go. It is our belief that when our volunteers do move on – they take with them the confidence, belief in themselves to explore new opportunities and share their learnings with other people they come into contact with and we see this as a positive achievement of our work.

Achievements and performance

As in 2020, DEAFvibe continued to face restrictions in its delivery of activities in 2021 due to ongoing lockdown due to the COVID Pandemic. This meant that the monthly Café did not run from January – September inclusive. The twice monthly HUB sessions have been paused throughout 2021. The weekly VIBE continued to run via Zoom by two committed volunteers who continued to support those who would otherwise be isolated.

DEAFvibe were able to re-negotiate with the Board of Trustees at Bradwell Lodge Community Centre a favourable rate for the permanent use / room hire of the DEAFvibe (Room Two) for 2021 and 2022.

In addition to above room hire, there would be a separate charge for the hire of the main hall to deliver the monthly Cafe DEAFvibe sessions was agreed as a separate fee from Room 2. These figures also included the relevant charitable discounts. This negotiation enabled us to remove the previous room hire costs for Rooms 1 and 3 (the latter is now no longer available to hire) alongside the main hall for a full 12 months.

It was imperative that DEAFvibe were in a position to maximise our own funding and the Grant from the Fisher Family Trust (see below) to benefit DEAFvibe and by paying for the main hall separately ensured that should any further lockdowns occur, DEAFvibe would not lose out financially.

DEAFvibe were successful in receiving a Grant (Restricted Funds) from the Fisher Charitable Trust as on 22nd July 2021. We are pleased to provide an update on progress:

As the Trustees of the Fisher Charitable Trust will appreciate, 2021 continued to be a challenging year due to the ongoing Coronavirus Pandemic and the cautious lifting of restrictions alongside ensuring the safety of everyone involved.

From the date the award was granted in July 2021, the initial time was spent in identifying and purchasing the most suitable and appropriate PPE equipment which included a variety of clear face masks and face visors to ensure full access to information, communication and language for everyone attending the monthly Cafe sessions and to ensure any barriers in accessing communication and language were removed. This was particularly important as Friends of DEAFvibe had experienced countless barriers throughout COVID in accessing health and social care support as well as accessing the wider community due to the wearing of clinical face (blue) masks.

Trustees Report (continued)

Café DEAFvibe - October 2021: The first Cafe DEAFvibe session was delivered and as you will fully appreciate this was met with trepidation as to what we could expect. For many individuals, it was their first time in meeting others outside the safety net of their own homes and family environment and they certainly felt out of their comfort zone. These concerns were also felt by Trustees of DEAFvibe due to the level of responsibility in ensuring and maintaining the safety of everyone.

This first Cafe session focussed purely on welcoming everyone back as well as providing the group with updates on safety & signage around the Community Centre, the importance of wearing of PPE and good hand hygiene alongside maintaining social distancing as delivered via BSL Interpreters. Despite this first and somewhat cautious session, we saw the highest number of attendees at the Cafe - with a total of 45 people in attendance which included 10 new attendees! This for us was a huge surprise and totally unexpected. The atmosphere you will be pleased to know was buzzing and the Deaf Community as part of their culture were restrained and respectful in ensuring there were no welcome back hugs - this was a huge challenge in itself.

Café DEAFvibe - November 2021: A presentation was delivered by Royal Association for Deaf People (RAD) which again saw 52 people in attendance. The aim of this presentation was to discuss how RAD can support Deaf, Hard of Hearing, Deafened and Deafblind people in accessing Information, Advice and Guidance (IAG) as part part of their Building Better Opportunities (BBO) project in which they had been successful in obtaining funding for Staffordshire & Stoke on Trent. This project also included support with Employment, Education, Volunteering and Training opportunities. From a Trustee perspective at DEAFvibe, whilst this project was exciting and promising - it was recognised that RAD would need to build up the trust with the community in the delivery of their project within the wider community particularly outside of Newcastle under Lyme.

Whilst DEAFvibe have held annual Christmas Parties in December since our launch in 2010 - it was agreed by everyone in attendance at the November Cafe that there would be no December Cafe to ensure everyone could have a safe and COVID-free Christmas with their own families.

Friends of DEAFvibe were informed that the next Café would take place on Saturday 12 February 2022 and that there would be no Café in January due Christmas / New Year family gatherings and parties which may see a spike in COVID numbers.

Financial review

DEAFvibe is heavily reliant on fundraising activities by DEAFvibe Volunteers. We also receive donations from Friends of DEAFvibe and members of the public.

We apply for funding streams where appropriate for DEAFvibe UK. However, due to funding constraints it has become more difficult for the voluntary sector to obtain / access funding streams successfully and this means we need to be more creative in exploring funding opportunities.

By raising the profile of the work we do, results in generous donations by individuals and other groups / organisation being made to support our work in the community which are very much appreciated.

Trustees Report (continued)

Policy on reserves

The trustees have designated £12,000 of unrestricted funds to ensure they have sufficient funds to pay for room hire costs and the use of professional communication support (BSL interpreters and Electronic Notetakers) at DEAFvibe activities to ensure the activities through the year. This ensures our activities are accessible and inclusive. On top of the funds designated free reserves at the period end stood at £12,718.

Structure, governance and management

Nature of governing document

DEAFvibe UK is registered as a CIO (Charitable Incorporated Organisation) and commenced operation as from 1st January 2017 under our new Charity Registration Number 1169810 (Note: DEAFvibe UK were in existence as a CIO from 20th October 2016).

From the Board of Trustees perspective, this was a clear continuation of the Charity and its functions whereby the original Charitable Objects of DEAFvibe were transferred to DEAFvibe UK:

The main objectives of the charity are:

• the relief of deaf, hard of hearing and deafblind people, including their families and carers, resident in Staffordshire & Stoke-on-Trent and surrounding areas by the provision of services, information, support, advice, education and facilities in the interests of social welfare and other leisure-time occupation with the object of improving the conditions of life of such people.

• the advancement of public education including but not limited to raising awareness of issues of deafness to the wider public.

Recruitment and appointment of trustees

The trustees discuss the requirements for new trustees for the charity at their meetings. Potential trustees who attend the Cafes are identified by their skills, expertise and knowledge and approached on an individual basis. Advertisements are also placed in the press, on the website and on the charity's Facebook page. Written applications are then discussed at trustees' meetings before an interview process takes place. The trustees will have regard to the skills, knowledge and experience required for effective administration of the charity when appointing new trustees.

Basis of preparation

DEAFvibe UK meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102. The accounts (financial statements) have been prepared under the historical cost convention with items recognised at cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant note(s) to these accounts.

Going concern

The trustees consider that there are no material uncertainties about the charity's ability to continue as a going concern.

Income and endowments

Voluntary income including donations, gifts, legacies and grants that provide core funding or are of a general nature is recognised when the charity has entitlement to the income, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured with sufficient reliability.

Donations and legacies

Donations and legacies are recognised on a receivable basis when receipt is probable and the amount can be reliably measured.

Expenditure

All expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to that expenditure, it is probable settlement is required and the amount can be measured reliably. All costs are allocated to the applicable expenditure heading that aggregate similar costs to that category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated on a basis consistent with the use of resources, with central staff costs allocated on the basis of time spent, and depreciation charges allocated on the portion of the asset’s use. Other support costs are allocated based on the spread of staff costs.

Raising funds

These are costs incurred in attracting voluntary income, the management of investments and those incurred in trading activities that raise funds.

Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 December 2021 (continued)

These include the costs attributable to the charity’s compliance with constitutional and statutory requirements, including audit, strategic management and trustees meetings and reimbursed expenses.

Taxation

The charity is considered to pass the tests set out in Paragraph 1 Schedule 6 of the Finance Act 2010 and therefore it meets the definition of a charitable company for UK corporation tax purposes.

Tangible fixed assets

Individual fixed assets costing £500 or more are initially recorded at cost, less any subsequent accumulated depreciation and subsequent accumulated impairment losses.

Depreciation and amortisation

Depreciation is provided on tangible fixed assets so as to write off the cost or valuation, less any estimated residual value, over their expected useful economic life as follows:

Asset class
