SAMARITANS 116 123 ' 01606 43211- ill IrfÉ DDIYI!ts- Annvaj fevlew 2020-21 ## **1. Samaritans' Vision, Mission and Values** It’s now generally acknowledged that to genuinely reduce suicide we must reach people earlier on in the crisis cycle, which means reaching out to and helping people who would not consider themselves to be suicidal. We want all potential callers to understand that our service is here for anyone who is experiencing pain in their lives. ## **The Vision** Samaritans Vision is that fewer people die by suicide ## **The Mission** We make sure there’s someone there for anyone who needs someone. - Every year, we answer more than 5 million calls for help via our unique 24-hour listening service, email, letter, face to face and through our Welsh language service. - We give people ways to cope and the skills to be there for others. We want to encourage, promote and celebrate those moments of connection between people that can protect and even save lives. - To do this, we're working in schools, prisons, workplaces and communities, and in partnership with organisations like Network Rail. We campaign to make suicide prevention a national and local priority. - Our staff and volunteers run nationwide and community campaigns to raise awareness and influence decisionmakers. ## **The Values** We have five core values. They're supported by these behaviours, which we share within the Samaritans organisation: support, trust, aspirational and respect. Listening - Exploring feelings alleviates distress and helps people to reach a better understanding of their situation and the options open to them. Confidentiality - If people feel safe, they are more likely to be open about their feelings. Non-judgemental - We want people to be able to talk to us without fear of prejudice or rejection. People making their own decisions wherever possible People making their own decisions - We believe that people have the right to find their own solution and that by not telling people what to do empowers them. Human contact - Giving people time, undivided attention and empathy meets a fundamental emotional need and reduces distress and despair 2 ## **2. Samaritans of Mid Cheshire** Samaritans of Mid Cheshire, a charity registered in England (1170575), is a recognised branch of Samaritans Central Charity and is a charitable incorporated organisation (CIO) and governed by a constitution. As an affiliate branch we are financially independent and responsible for fundraising to meet our operating costs. Our branch has been providing support to people in our local area since 1965. We offer emotional support by telephone, by email and in person when guidelines allow. Our branch covers the following areas: - Altrincham - Hale - Hale Barns - Knutsford callers. Operational changes were made to ensure safety of volunteers. Fundraising opportunities have been severely reduced during the pandemic meaning that the donations we have received are possibly even more appreciated than ever. Securing grants has helped the financial situation; increased expenditure due directly in response to Covid19 has been covered by one of these. Maintenance of our premises continues to be a major source of expenditure in addition to our normal running costs. - Lymm - Middlewich - Northwich - Timperley - Winsford The year 2020-2021, as the previous year, has proved to be very challenging: balancing running an increasingly needed service whilst navigating new rules; continuing to fundraise whilst managing increased expenditure; trying to plan ‘normal’ outreach activities in unprecedented times whilst still recruiting and training volunteers. The branch has continued to provide a telephone listening service providing emotional support for our Despite the pandemic the branch continues to comply with all aspects of good charity management. During the last year, Samaritans central charity has conducted a quality review looking at all aspects of branch management including finances, operating procedures and legal compliance. The report was excellent and confirmed that the charity is in a healthy state The Branch Leadership Team have continued to recruit and train new volunteers, albeit, under a new normal, making use of technology to replace face to face when required. The whole branch are looking forward to more face to face work, hoping to get our presence known in local schools, prison and at train stations. Annual Review 2020-2021 ## **3. Director's Report** Jan reports as she comes to the end of her second and penultimate year in the role of Branch Director: Samaritans of Mid Cheshire has been an affiliated branch of the Samaritans since 2017. We have the responsibility of managing not only the delivery of service but the building we own and all our volunteers. This means we are responsible for all our recruitment, training, funding and upgrading of equipment as deemed necessary when change and legislation dictate. This includes Health and Safety, Data Protection and Safeguarding. Since our last AGM we have continued to recruit and train new listening volunteers and increased our support team. We now have 31 trained mentors which represents 18% of our listening volunteers and ensures our ability to mentor new listeners as well as our ongoing mentoring of volunteers. Our aim going forward is to train all volunteers as mentors. Since our Link system replaced Connect, I believe the system has been less prone to downtime, even if we see a few glitches from time. We have seen the withdrawal of our SMS service but are soon to see the introduction of Online Chat. Our email system is in need of an overhaul, and this has been promised by Samaritans Central Office (SCO) as a future project. We are also soon to see the introduction of the Branch Management Tool (BMT) which will aid in recruitment, training and the progress of volunteers. In November 2020, we had our virtual Branch quality review. Our report was excellent, and this was down to the Branch Leadership Team and to each and every one of our volunteers. We have a few areas to work on which were chosen by ourselves as aims and goals for the future and we are well ahead in our progress. Sadly, over the last year, we have been badly affected by Covid-19. This has meant fewer face to face activities both inside the Centre and in the local communities that we cover. It has taken down the number of potential volunteers we can recruit and train and also affected the way this is done. Our shift rota lost a lot of volunteers temporarily to self-isolation, but we have managed this and our service both locally and nationally held together well. Many volunteers undertook different roles while self-isolating, eg NHS Support Line, Leading and other Branch roles. We hope to be fully operational as soon as the worries of Covid-19 allow us. On the positive side, technology has helped considerably with meetings and training, the Ops Room stations have never been so clean, and we have learnt a lot from the changes we have had to make. Going forward we are looking forward to seeing a newly re-furbished Ops Room and a newly rendered building with new signage. This will also mean that we can attend to some damp and decorating inside the building. Our hope that when this work is done, the refurbishments will improve the soundproofing in the Ops Room and the maintenance of the building. I want to say a big thank you to the Trustees, the Branch Leadership Team and to all our volunteers for being there for our callers and for the time and support you have given to the Branch and each other. You are all brilliant. Thank you. Jan 456 4 ## **4. Treasurer's Report** As Trustees of our Organisation, after a vote at last year’s AGM, we have again used the services of a local firm of accountants to examine the accounts. Once again they have produced an 11 page report, copies of which are available for anyone if they wish, but for the purposes of this review I have summarised it This year has been somewhat different but as always we give our sincere thanks to all who have helped to keep the branch going through the past 12 months. Our income relies on the support and generosity of the whole community but unfortunately we have not been able to raise funds in our usual way. However with financial support from our donors, Samaritans of Mid Cheshire have been able to continue the good work that we do. Looking at the accounts you will see we were lucky to be awarded 2 grants.£10k from Cheshire West and Chester Council helped us with added costs due to the pandemic – the reorganisation of the ops room to allow safe distancing, including sanitising essentials, plus equipment to allow for remote training for new volunteers and remote branch meetings. The other grant from The Arnold Clarke Community Fund of £1k was used for added screen protection in the ops room which can also be used in the training room. Regarding our expenditure, we have continued to upgrade, repair and refurbish our property to a cost of just over£2k. Otherwise through careful monitoring we have managed to keep the costs of energy and our annual contracts down. The creditors listed in the accounts are for NBC – the money we pay yearly to Central Charity based on income and expenditure and the accountant’s examination fee. For our income, we have been unable to do any street or store collections or any bag packing income due to the pandemic. However through the sale of Samaritan raffle tickets, sale of Samaritan Christmas cards and several sponsorship events, including The Samarathon in July, organised by our volunteers. We were lucky to receive £750 in donations from local organisations and churches and thank them for their continued support. Individual donations amounted to £6,250. We are so very grateful to all who donated so generously. Gift Aid and GASDS for the year up to April 2019 amounted to £2.6k and we received just under £1k in legacies. Our 100 Club continues to contribute towards our income and currently we have around 60 members but we are always lookout for more– only £12 a year - £20 prize every month but in December prizes of £50, £25 and £10. Thanks as always to all who helped, donated participated and organised. Sue 260 Annual Review 2020-2021 ## **5.
