Trustees Annual Report

To relieve the charitable needs of disabled children and children with complex needs and their families and carers in Peterborough is such ways as the Trustees shall think fit, in particular by the provision of advice, information, support and advocacy

Janet Brown

Chairs Forward

As Chair of Family Voice Peterborough, I have great pleasure in introducing this report. Since last year, we have again seen changes to the board with members continuing to bring a range of skills and experience, with the newest members joining at the end of 2023. As a Parent Carer and a disabled person, I have been involved with the charity now for several years, as a Parent Carer Rep and now a Trustee. This past year, the centre has been fully open for community groups etc, however due to the economic downturn and cuts to statutory funding, usage has decreased. Despite this, we are confident that even with a decrease in usage, the centre has still been a focus for much needed community cohesion.

The community café which brings local residents together, combats loneliness and provides a centre for support and social networking has continued to be a valuable resource in our local area. The café, which is held every Wednesday morning, continues to grow from strength to strength with increasing numbers of people attending and volunteering. The café also uses the fareshare surplus food to offer to attendees; this weekly food hub has proved very popular and much needed during this cost of living crisis. In addition to this, we provide Christmas hampers for those in need of help, and continue to host litter picking sessions twice a month to create a sense of community pride.

We continued to use the National Lottery bid which is funding staffing costs as well as centre and caravan costs of caravans until 31[st] March 2024. Due to an underspend, in part, because of the delay in recruiting staff, the project has been extended to 30[th] June 2024. We will need to apply for further funding to continue to run the charity after next year. Sadly, the caravans became unviable and had to be sold. Whilst we understand that this is a disappointment to users who relied on it, unfortunately we had no choice.

FVP continue to host community barbeques that involve local people together with the Gambian community. As well as meals at a Turkish restaurant for seldom heard families; play activity sessions for children and families at Activity World, and the supply of vouchers for a trampoline park. These events are well attended and enjoyed by local residents from different communities and the charity. These events created a sense of community cohesion where staff, trustees and volunteers came together to create a wonderful fun and inclusive atmosphere.

Our signposting service has expanded we supported over 200 households and look forward to continuing to support the community.

I look forward to another year of working with Louise, trustees, staff and volunteers

FVP has a small, but growing team of staff and volunteers who have operational responsibility for manging the charity on a day-to-day basis. Due to the size of the charity the trustees still have some operational duties which are being gradually devolved to the staff team via delegation which takes account code of governance guidance principle 1.5. The Trustees moved towards using sub-committees chaired by a trustee and attended by other board members and key staff, Finance & Resources, Health, Safety & Safeguarding, Assets, Parent Carer Forum as per their constitution.

FVP works with a number of other third sector organisations as well as acting as a strategic partner of Peterborough City Council in relation to offering collective information, advocacy, support and advice to parent carers which is in line with the purpose of the charity as defined in its objectives. FVP has also started working with a wider partnership of organisations both statutory and third sector as part of the expanding seldom heard communities’ work.

Risk Statement

Risk management has changed this year, with an updated Risk Policy, risk log and use of dedicated time at sub-committees to manage any issues as they arise. The Trustees have also benefitted from some basic risk management training in relation to organisational health and safety. Identified risks relate to:

Financial viability of the organisation,
Premises Management and Maintenance,
Organisational capacity and growth in relation to operational functions,
Trustee Board capacity, skills and sustainability,
Caravan management, maintenance and sustainability,
Health and Safety,
External Relationships,
Reputation,
Staff and HR.

Assets and Ownership

All assets are under the ownership of the CIO with two trustees signing leases/contracts as required as per the constitution. The assets of the charity at the start of the financial year were the Goldhay Community Centre and two caravans which are sited at Haven Caister and Butlin’s Skegness respectively. Both Caravans were sold in November 2023 because they were no longer financially viable, as were unable to rent them out at a rate that would cover the costs of running them. The community centre was transferred to the CIO in February 2020. However, it has been agreed with the Local Authority that the lease can be surrendered and returned to their ownership.

Staff 2023 to 2024

Operational management of the charity is the responsibility of the Chief Executive Officer (CEO). Due to recent changes in the organisation and funding constraints, the Senior Leadership Team (SLT) has been reduced. It now consists of the CEO and an Office Manager. The SLT team between them manage 10 employees. No staff member is remunerated over £50,000 and the staff costs are covered through specific grant funding and income generated from the hire of the premises. The staffing for the charity covers the forum functions of FVP, all administration and management of the assets. All staff received a cost of living pay rise at the start of the new financial year, except the CEO and IT Manager.

The trustees have been made aware of risks associated with being employers, especially as the charity is a relatively small organisation. The trustees have continued to mitigate risk through suitable financial planning, employee support and trustee board development. All has continued to be underpinned by the risk management policy which is reviewed annually. The board continue to seek external advice with respect to employment where required. The board have also had a renewed focus on Equality and Diversity to ensure they are supportive and understanding of the diversity within the workforce.

Volunteers 2023 to 2024

FVP have secured the support of 5 active volunteers, some ad hoc volunteers’ courtesy of the Rotary club and volunteers for specific pieces of centre works from the Gambian Community of Peterborough.

The parent rep team has moved from voluntary status to employment with the majority being on term time contracts. We have continued to run a Community Café which is being supported by a lead volunteer and other ad hoc volunteers. This work alone probably equates to over 900 hours of volunteer time.

It has not been possible this year to identify the number of volunteer hours given to the charity due to there being such variation in work conducted, and constant changes to work/ volunteering due to personal commitments of the volunteers and changes within the charity itself.

Objectives and Activities

The objects of the CIO are to relieve the charitable needs of disabled children and children with complex needs and their families and carers in Peterborough in such ways as the Trustees shall think fit, in particular by the provision of advice, information, support and advocacy.

The Board of Trustees have paid due regard to statutory guidance PB1, PB2 and PB3 issued by The Charity Commission when planning and undertaking activities in relation to the objects that define the purpose of the charity.

The trustees also look to consider social impact when undertaking work as means to demonstrate value for money and positive benefit to individuals and their families.

Measuring Social Impact – 2023 to 2024

To demonstrate social impact of the charity a range of qualitative and quantitative data is gathered. This is used to measure the outcomes and impact of the work of the charity; Some of the methods include activity/ event feedback, survey results, quotes, numbers in attendance, demographic information, changes to services for children/ young people with disabilities as shown in responses to the Topics of Importance. This past year has also seen FVP continue the changed delivery model, working both face-to-face and online.

FVP has seen a new team of parent carers join the Parent Carer Forum (PCF) as parent carer representatives working under term time contracts. This has facilitated an increase in participation and engagement.
Through a range of meetings, events, online activities, Facebook Polls and Discussions, 310 parent/carers including 18 fathers have participated in 46 sessions. These provided signposting, support, the opportunity to build new relationships and connections and increase social inclusion.
Parent carers, including those from seldom heard groups and local residents fed back that the provision of hampers helped made the festive period more enjoyable and manageable. These worked well as an addition to face-to-face activities. Through the activities 2569 people have benefitted in some way.
53 caravan bookings were secured in the past year leading to 171 people benefitting from a short break. Those who have used the caravan have reported improved wellbeing.
There has been a significant drop in use of the centre with 138 sessions equating to 330 hours, compared to the previous financial year where 509 sessions were held, equating to 1281 of activity hours. The usage has enabled increase social inclusion and improved mental health and wellbeing.
Signposting support has been offered to 206 parent carers for accessing information relating to SEND services, benefits, mental health services and other areas.
Improved communication and information from between the LA and parent carers have occurred as a result of the introduction of the Topics of Importance; the SEND newsletter continues to be produced for parent carers who want to receive it, ongoing EHCp documentation, practices and processes are reviewed in the EHCp improvement group, Parent Participation is actively encouraged at a strategic level using a hybrid method of engagement and participation, provision of food support and other activities there has been a marked increase in overall numbers accessing FVP.

Information

Training sessions in understanding mental health and wellbeing and understanding behaviour have provided parent carers/ family members with basic skills to selfmanage and gain resilience in their caring role.
Information stands at various locations across the city, to enable direct contact with FVP. This enables literature to be handed out to members of the public, parent carers to have someone to talk to for signposting. 14 stands and 905 people spoken to.
Online and face-to-face sessions based on specific SEND topics have been delivered, supported by BSL interpreters and made available online to increase their reach. The use of interpreters increased accessibility. The topics provided information and support in navigating the SEND system.
The ongoing development of an e-news to share messages and opportunities to engage. There are currently over 526 subscribers.
Use of social media to enable a wider and more diverse group of beneficiaries to receive information and participate in service change. There has been a marked increase in the audience for all platforms which has increased reach.

Advocacy (Collective)

Online participation sessions, face to face activities and the running of on-line surveys to facilitate parent carers raising concerns/ issues and sharing views with relevant organisations such as Local Authority Commissioning (Social Care and Education) via Topics of Importance.
Parent representation enabling parent carers to share concerns and views about disability services with education and social care commissioners.

Support

The provision of tickets and passes introduced in 2020/ 2021 has continued but linked more directly to completion of participation activities. There have also been far more trips and activities included enabling access to areas SEND families in particular may struggle to go to; support here is in the form of coordinating the activities and providing coaches etc.
Delivery of festive hampers including food, vouchers and gifts has provided support whereby households can cover the cost of their utilities without having to make a heat or eat choice.
A community café have enabled local residents, parent carers and seldom heard community members to have support through peer to peer engagement, a safe space to talk about what is impacting their lives, build friendships, have a warm place to meet and receive wherever possible food provisions.

Advice

Parent Carer Hub sessions have provided direct access to professionals from Education, Carers Support and SEND Partnership.
Signposting to a range of services/ support systems/ SEND professionals has occurred for 209 parent carers.

Community Premises

Community engagement has continued to take place using the community café and a number of face-to-face community sessions.

Achievements and Performance

Family Activities & Parent Carer/ Community Support

Family Activity Opportunities

Trips and Activities
Parent carers were provided the opportunity to take part in a range of local activities and coach trips. (AT – 1[st] July – September)
Some of these were also accessed by parent carers from the Aiming High Group and Seldom Heard Community leaders and their families which led to an increase in diversity and engagement from more families with CYP with very complex health needs.
Survey Response Vouchers
Vouchers are often used as an incentive for completion of surveys, as these are proven to increase participation. Parent carers have also reported valuing the recognition of their participation.
Vouchers are available to access Bowling, Activity World, Sacrewell Farm and Key Theatre.
Parent Carer/ Community Support
FVP have also been providing phone line/ email signposting/ face to face support for a range of subjects including; how the move from DLA to PIP works through to how to make a complaint about SEND provision or what would be the best primary school to apply to.
Wellbeing, emotional support and information sessions with local services resulted in parent carers receiving direct support.

Participation and Engagement

Attendance at a range of participation and engagement sessions has increased this year. The following provides a snapshot of engagements levels:

Parent Carer Hub – a total of 21 parent carers attended
1 Wellbeing Workshops a total of 5 parent carers attended
1 Themed Workshops - a total of 6 parent carers attended
11 Focus Groups - a total of 67 parent carers attended
30 School Based Meetings - a total of 162 parent carers attended

Parent Participation

The financial reporting period this relates to, 2023 to 2024, has seen for FVP the level of recorded individual participation dip again, as can be seen in Fi.?, although the drop is

Page | 11

Registered Charity No: 1171389

starting to slow down. However what is different is an increase in the number of parent carers re-engaging.

Overall Engagement Rate

Online engagement rates have fluctuated across years. In the past year there have been no FB polls used due to having new staff who are not so adept at this function for participation purposes, however the numbers are still relatively high due to the popularity and marketing of the small scale surveys used and in particular the annual survey.

Engagement via surveys and FB

There has been continued investment by FVP in helping parent carers understand their “right” to be heard on a personal and collective level in the services accessed by their children and young people especially at face-to-face sessions in educational settings.

Page | 12

Registered Charity No: 1171389

Underpinning the Children and Families Act 2014 are the Section 19 Principles whereby Local Authorities have a duty to pay due regard to the views, wishes and feelings of children and young people with SEND and those of their parents and carers and support them to participate fully. The work conducted by FVP has been shared with the Local Authority to help them understand what the views and feelings of parent carers are. This was partly achieved through an ongoing use of themed sessions and newly introduced coffee and signposting sessions.

Parent Representation

Nine parent carers acting as representatives have attended 180 strategic meetings investing 316.5 hours in terms of administration, travel time and actual meeting attendance.

Preferred Parent Participations Method

FVP have seen 332 parent carers, some of whom have participated more than once.

We have engaged with the following ethnicities over the last 3 years, which demonstrates how representative the organisation and community are.

CHARITY ASSETS (Premises)

The Goldhay Centre is more than a Community Centre and Offices for FVP; it is a community provision under the terms of the community asset transfer lease. Part of the requirement of taking on the Goldhay Centre under asset transfer was to make it available to local residents and run it as a community centre.

As well as the groups who have hired the centre in the past and those currently hiring the centre, FVP also use the community hall for community activities. FVP have provided a range of sessions which have more recently included a community café and warm hub. The community café was well received and those who attended reported feeling less isolated. The centre is also used to provide events for community leaders and local seldom heard parent carers, as well as being available to hire by other groups and organisations.

The only separation between the community centre side and the FVP office side is the internal dividing door; there is no separation of heating, water, plumbing, electrics, fire safety, utility supply etc. It is impossible to ascertain the costs for the centre as a separate entity and expenditure relates to the building as a whole.

Registered Charity No: 1171389

In September 2023, a report and survey were carried out by the LA on the community building in light of new regulations. This report highlighted more works and repairs that were required for the community centre to remain a public building. The cost to upgrade the roof and wiring as well as fireproofing have led to the need to re-evaluate the benefits of remaining responsible for this building as over £300k would be needed over the next 5 years.

In addition, the rising cost of living has meant many groups can no longer rent sessions and the bookings since November 2023 started to decrease; by March 2024 most regular bookings having been cancelled beyond 1[st] April 2024. This meant there would be no sustainability. With new building regulations especially in relation to reaching an energy rating of ‘C’ as part of central governments Net Zero targets we do not have the money to continue to run a community centre so we asked the LA if we could return the building to them.

The LA have agreed not only to take back the lease but as they value us and the benefit of a PCF so much, they are willing to find us suitable premises with the LA area to ensure the core PCF work is continued.

The decision has been made by our trustee board to give up the lease for the community centre and concentrate on their core role as a PCF.

Overall Usage

Over time there have always been more regular bookings than private bookings. However for 2023 to 2024 hire has significantly decreased with the centre running at 7.25% capacity.

Due to the financial crisis, several users of the Centre have had their funding cut, therefore they are unable to rent the Hall. This has had a significant negative impact on our income.

Parent Forum Opportunities

Having the premises has continued to make the forum more accessible to parent carers and provides FVP with more in-house participation and training opportunities. Now it is more established, more effort has gone into the promotion of the activities, training and participation opportunities in the centre leading to an increase in regular engagement with parent/carers at the centre and a decrease in external venue hire costs.
FVP staff, parent representatives and parent volunteers are also provided with space and office use to enable them to carry out their duties.
Parent carers can attend meetings at the office and seek information, signposting and face to face contact more easily.

Community Opportunities

The centre provides the opportunity for a range of providers of services to access a venue from which they can meet the needs of local residents. It is has been beneficial to the local community to be able to set up a new service provided by FVP. Residents say the centre activities enable them to make friends, seek support and feel less lonely.

The trustees are continuously working to establish sustainability and good governance for the charity and have developed various policies and procedures including a reserves policy to facilitate this. The policy establishes how reserves levels are set and how these relate to unrestricted funds and such levels will be managed.

The trustees have historically proposed to maintain the charity’s free reserves at a level which is at least equivalent to six months operational expenditure and three months as a minimum. This year the reserves have decreased to approximately 6 months equivalent of annual running costs, due to a number of factors including a general increase charity running costs. This policy will require review as the staffing structure changes and operational matters go through further change due to charity growth. It will an ongoing priority of the Trustees to relook at this as part of the wider business planning focus.

Principle Source of Income

The principle source of income for FVP remains grant funding which is linked to predefined outcomes. Grants have been allocated by Contact behalf of The Depart for Education (DfE) Peterborough City Council (PCC) on behalf of the Integrated Care Board (ICB) and PCC PCVS and The National Lottery. The total grant income equates to 83% of the charity income which is up slightly down from 22/23 by 2%. Income from sources such has hire from assets (rental) and donations/ fundraising (public) has decreased slightly and will be a focus going forwards to try and move further away from reliance on grants.

Much work has also been taking place to secure other less restrictive grant funding that can be used to build in charity sustainability and enable the charity to explore other unrestricted income streams.

Fundraising/ Donations/ Legacies/ Consultancy (Public)

Donations and fundraising have netted £7,700.09 which is a 59% decrease from the previous year. This is an area the Trustees felt to be important to focus in the last Trustees Annual Report. This year, FVP did not secure income from fees for work (consultancy).

Any fundraising is managed under an ethical fundraising policy held by the CIO and as such work relating to joint fundraising falls under this. To demonstrate best practice, the CIO is also self-registered with the Fundraising Regulator.

Expenditure

The majority of the charity expenditure is from restricted funds from grants paid in year. 90% of overall expenditure was from restricted funds. This is down by 8% from 22/23. The majority of core costs fall into restricted funds expenditure with most staffing covered under restricted funds.

Registered Charity No: 1171389

The majority of grant expenditure is set against pre-defined outcomes with specific outputs and measured against an outcomes matrix. The DfE grant although for a small amount is a receipted grant, where every receipt has to be allocated and spedning has to be strictly kept within predefined budget. The outcomes match the objects of the charity. Expenditure has been on providing families with access to information, advocacy, support and advice; therefore meeting the objects of the charity.

Further Details

Staffing costs have increased to 45% of overall expenditure for the charity. This is up from 37% in 22/23.
No employee is remunerated at £60,000 or over.
The majority of those employed have been parent carers who volunteer extra time to the charity over their contracted hours of employment. All costs relating to employment are linked to grants.

Accounts Preparation

In line with the charity’s constitution and charity accounting guidelines as defined in CC15d ‘charity reporting and accounting: the essentials’ the accounts are prepared under an accruals system and the Trustees have taken the decision to secure the services of a suitably qualified accountant to conduct the accounts returns.

Trustee Statement

Because of the financial crisis, it has been felt that the charity still finds itself in unprecedented times as a result of the subsequent and ongoing cost of living crisis, so the Trustees have decided to again produce a more in-depth statement detailing the impact on the charity and its beneficiaries. They strive to keep charity services going, protect the assets to ensure their ongoing availability for charity beneficiaries and work to support the beneficiaries in any ways the trustees feel appropriate has been taken time, effort, resources and staffing in difficult economic circumstances.

Again at the time of writing this annual report, the charity still finds itself in uncertain times, due to a number of factors; climate change/ crisis, rising cost of living, the increase in minimum wage, increasing inflation rate to name a few. The need of the charity beneficiaries is changing, and in some areas increasing, with wider societal concerns impacting on individual mental health and wellbeing. This has all been reflected in the next five year strategy and plan for the charity as a result.

Services

Services have continued using hybrid and face-to-face methods based on demand. There has been a return to trips and activities which have been well received with requests for more of the same. Food support is still required as a result of the economic impact of the rising cost of living. The community café has seen a marked increase in attendance with some weeks 30 people popping in for hot drink and food if available.

Assets

Page | 17

Registered Charity No: 1171389

There have been greatly increased costs for utilities and we have continued with ongoing repairs to the Centre as needed. Additionally, we replaced the Playhouse

Staff and Volunteers

It has now become more common for FVP team members to split their time between remote and office based working, and the flexibility to manage this has been enabled the charity to work better in some areas. The team report feeling supported with their needs being balanced well with the needs of the charity. New employees are furnished with a laptop shortly after their start date to enable them to work from home and hot desk at the office. The office layout has also been changed to enable hot desking and better, safer sharing of the space available.

FVP takes full account of Equality, Diversity and Inclusion (EDI) when supporting the team, enabling them to do their roles to the best of their abilities. EDI as well as Health and Safety (H&S) are considered at all levels of the charity, which is important to facilitate the growing team and enable them to continue meeting the needs of the charity beneficiaries.

Financial Stability

The financial stability of FVP is still an ongoing concern, with most grant funds still being on a year only basis, and revenue from the charity assets being below what would be required to cover their basic running costs. Much work has taken place throughout the past year to stabilise the accounts, move towards generating more revenue from the assets and encourage public donations and team fundraising.

Our Lottery funding ended March 2024, although we were allowed to carry over an underspend to 30[th] June 2024. Although this has helped in the interim it is still short term. Longer term funding, from other sources including assets would enable the charity to have time to work on developing growth and sustainability plans.

Beneficiaries

FVP have continued to gather information from parent carers as to how they are managing, what factors are impacting their lives and how they are coping in relation to their caring role. Key themes identified impacting families are:

Poor mental health and wellbeing including a feeling of isolation.
Financial worries.
Increased difficulty in identify sources of support
Difficulty finding information in relation to SEND and particular concerns around PfA.

Forward Plan

After careful risk assessment and completion of a SWOT analysis which included input from various stakeholders the following areas have been prioritised with five areas highlighted and three others woven throughout:

Priority One - Parents Forum/ SEND

Continuing to support and deliver help advice and guidance around SEND. In particular ensuring co-production and the implementation of the priorities and action plans within the SEND agenda and all other associated strategies.
Ensuring parent carers are included, heard and enabled to participate in a way which meets their individual needs and requirements.

Priority Two - Community Provision:

Goldhay community centre is used to provide families with training and support opportunities, food hubs, social events and activities that enable a diverse range of seldom heard groups to come together and celebrate various aspects of their lives.
This has enabled the community space to be utilised for local residents and the wider community to access services and support and allow participation in the wider community, thus decreasing isolation amongst specific groups or those impacted by caring for a child/ young person.

Priority Three- Activities

FVP provide coach trips, hire local activity places, hold themed sessions and provide family based activities at the community centre, across Peterborough and to further destinations.
FVP know that being able to access affordable and/ or free trips and activities leads to improved wellbeing for SEND families.

Priority Four - Work Force and Trustee Board Development:

FVP is run by a Board of trustees who have overall responsibility and accountability for ensuring the charity runs according to the legal framework it was set up for.
Staff and volunteers are responsible for the daily running of the.
The trustee board has several new members and with this they are bringing fresh ideas, links to the wider community and a renewed commitment to take FVP forwards.

Priority Five - Information Technology:

FVP has always used virtual platforms such as their Website, Facebook, Twitter YouTube and WhatsApp to reach a wider audience, however much of the engagement work of FVP delivered focussed on face to face work with Parent Carers, their families and the wider community.
What covid 19 and the lockdown has shown is that a move to virtual work can be as beneficial as face to face is cost effective and has led to greater engagement from a wider and more diverse cohort of people.
