## Introduction from our Chair 


## **Introduction from our Chairperson** 

Hello everyone and welcome to the annual report for Conwy Connect for April 2020 to April 2021. 

Covid 19 started to be a big problem for us all last March 2020 when we went into the first lockdown. As you know this was the first of three lockdowns, including one over last Christmas. This one was very hard for many people who could not get together with family and friends. Things have got a little better in 2021, but we are still feeling the effects of Covid. Let’s hope things get better soon. 


I am pleased to report that the team at Conwy Connect has made lots of changes to activities and events. With help from funders, we have been able to expand online activities of all sorts. Members have been able to join in online quizzes, discos and chat groups. All these activities have been very popular and have brought in new members. 

My personal highlights of 2020-2021 were 

- the Makaton choir (again!) 

- the involvement of members in developing new ideas for online contacts with 

- other members 

- the development of employment opportunities for members in health advocacy. 

- These were all new for 2020 to 2021 and are very interesting developments. Check out the information about all our activities in this annual report. 

The Trustees meet every two months or so and check out how things are going at Conwy Connect. They look at all aspects of Conwy Connect including the finances, funding for future development, and staffing. We have a good range of Trustees, but we do need some more, particularly parents and carers. Please contact Cath Thornton – if you would like to help. 

A big thank you to all our wonderful funders. Without your support we couldn’t provide our services. We know these services are very much appreciated by members and their families and carers. We hope you will be amazed at the range of activities described in this report. 

Best wishes to all Janet Byatt

## Welcome from our Chief Officer 



## **Catherine Thornton Chief Officer** 

Hello and welcome to Conwy Connects Annual Report for 2020/2021. Reflecting on this year was an emotional experience. 2020/2021 was a challenging year for everyone. We saw everything change in the blink of an eye. We were uprooted from our usual routines, groups, friends and families. Many of us celebrated special occasions on zoom or in gardens 2 meters away from our loved ones. 

“You are on mute” became a sentence we said many times a day and “What's the Code?” took over from “What are the disco dates?” in our messages through Facebook, What's app and Emails. 

I am so very proud of our organization and its members on how they coped with such a difficult year. The staff team at Conwy Connect went above and beyond to ensure our members had something to do, or someone to talk to. 

Our services quickly diversified as we entered the first lockdown and we as a team focused on how we could support the members through this new and sometimes scary experience. 

Many of our members were enthusiastic to learn new digital skills that were essential in lockdown they in turn began to support their peers to be able to connect. It was amazing to see. 

We recognize being digitally connected isn’t something everyone enjoys, so we made sure we sent out activity packs for the people that couldn’t connect to use digitally. 

A massive big thank you to all that supported us.

## Engagement Service 


## Funded by 

Well, 2020-2021 has been a very different year for Conwy Connect Engagement Service.  We have had lots of changes  - everyone has worked really hard to stay connected. 



From April 2020 the Forum meeting stopped meeting in person.  This was because of the Pandemic and lockdown. Our monthly meeting started to meet every week for 1 hour.  To meet up everyone had to learn how to use Zoom.  It was quite hard at first but people learnt how to make things better. 



The Conwy Connect forum What’s app group has been a really good way for people to stay in touch.  Also the Forum what’s app group is a good way to pass on information.  Members share news, cartoons, videos and photos of things they have been doing.  Looing back we must have done a lot of eating as members shared many lovely photos of their meals!

Sometimes there is a lot to know. 


Carers are experts at being carers, 

They don’t have time to be an expert at everything. 

I try to help with this. 


One way I help is by signposting. 

This means that I tell carers about people who are experts at different things. Then the carers can get help from these experts. 


Sometimes these experts ask me about family carers. 

I talk with them and we work together. 

This means that everyone works together to help the family. 


Sometimes one carer can help another carer. 

This happened with two families this year. The two families shared good ideas.

## Health and Well-Being Project 


I was involved with the Health and Wellbeing sessions that began in October 2020. This course was delivered by the nurses from the Learning Disability Team. My role involved assisting the nurses with getting the members to the sessions each week, to listen to their feedback after the sessions and any concerns they may have had. I had regular contact with both the members and the nurses from the team. There were 4 blocks of 6 sessions, each of the blocks had an opportunity for 10 members and a facilitator to be involved. We covered topics that included Diet and Exercise, Friends and Relationships, Health checks and Keeping safe in the Community. Each of the members received a tablet if it was required, this encouraged the members to engage online and a Fitbit if needed. 

## Funded by 



Eva Collins 

All of the feedback from each of the members after the sessions was always positive and was so encouraging. Each member gained in confidence which over the weeks became apparent with engaging in the conversation more and more. It was something to look forward to each week as it was such an isolating time during lockdown for many of the members. 

I feel very lucky to have had the opportunity to been a part of this course.

## **Engagement service (Connect Advocacy Group)** 

This service was relaunched in January 2018. The service group is run to give individuals an opportunity in coalition with Conwy County Borough Council to discuss the services available and currently provided in connection with individuals with Learning Disabilities. 

2020-2021 has been a very different year for Conwy Connect Engagement Service. There have been lots of changes and everyone has worked hard to stay connected. From April 2020 the Forum meeting stopped meeting in person. This was because of the Pandemic and lockdown. Monthly meeting started to meet every week for 1 hour. To meet up everyone used Zoom. The Conwy Connect forum WhatsApp group has been a really good way for people to stay in touch. Also the Forum WhatsApp group is a good way to pass on information. Members share news, cartoons, videos and photos of things they have been doing.From the Forum, the members vote for Representatives to go to other groups for them. There have been new Representatives and Deputies from January 2020. Bethan is our Conwy Rep and Carla is Deputy Rep or the North Wales Participation group (Regional). Richard is our Conwy Rep and Joanne is Deputy Rep for All Wales People First National Council. Shell is the North Wales Representative for the Learning Disability Ministerial Advisory Group.

## **Health Improvement Service** 

Services provided include health check guides, traffic light hospital forms, Learning disability acute liaison service, Disability sport in Conwy, Sexual health and contraception, Diabetes, Breast Cancer and screening, Medical Student training. 

During 2020/21 leaflets were made by Paul Carter (Health Improvement Officer) about changes to doctor/hospital visits due to Covid-19, the Betsi Cadwaladr Learning Disability Acute Liaison Team aided with this. Zoom meetings were held every week for members which was good for people's mental health and it was a new way for people to see their friends. Paul set us a Youtube channel called Conwy Connect Televisions (CCTV for short) which has been used to tell people about health things. Lockdown Activity Packs were created and sent out to members, a health page was  included on this which told people about what exercise they could do and how to stay healthy in lockdown. Paul invited members into a Zoom meeting with Megan Vickery from Betsi Cadwaladr University Health Board to discuss what the members thought about local health care. A health challenge was created for some members asking them to walk and eat fruit every day, this was then discussed via Zoom and members did well. Health films were created for members by people at TAPE in Old Colwyn and The Learning Disability Acute Liaison Team helped also. A Zoom event was held by Nia Lederle from Public Health Wales and Helen Kenyon (Freelance Worker) to inform female members, also their parents and carers, about Smear Tests and Breast Screening.

Delyth Lloyd Williams (Family Support Officer) has been meeting with family carers via Zoom or phone during 2020/21. Some carers needed more help due to Covid-19, help was issued either by Delyth, an expert or another carer in the group. Conwy Connect offered online activities to families and Lockdown Activity Packs were created and sent out to members. A Zoom event was held in May 2021 with Social Services.

**INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF CONWY CONNECT FOR LEARNING DISABILITIES** 

## **Independent examiner's report to the trustees of Conwy Connect for Learning Disabilities ('the Company')** 

I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Company for the year ended 31 March 2021. 

## **Responsibilities and basis of report** 

As the charity's trustees of the Company (and also its directors for the purposes of company law) you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 ('the 2006 Act'). 

Having satisfied myself that the accounts of the Company are not required to be audited under Part 16 of the 2006 Act and are eligible for independent examination, I report in respect of my examination of your charity's accounts as carried out under section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 ('the 2011 Act'). In carrying out my examination I have followed the Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5) (b) of the 2011 Act. 

## **Independent examiner's statement** 

I have completed my examination. I confirm that no matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe: 

1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the Company as required by section 386 of the 2006 Act; or 

2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or 

3. the accounts do not comply with the accounting requirements of section 396 of the 2006 Act other than any requirement that the accounts give a true and fair view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination; or 

4. the accounts have not been prepared in accordance with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice for accounting and reporting by charities (applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102)). 

I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

**CONWY CONNECT FOR LEARNING DISABILITIES** 

## **REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021** 

## **OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES Significant activities** 

Conwy Connect for Learning Disabilities currently delivers services in the following main areas: 

## **Engagement service (Connect Advocacy Group)** 

This service was relaunched in January 2018. The service group is run to give individuals an opportunity in coalition with Conwy County Borough Council to discuss the services available and currently provided in connection with individuals with Learning Disabilities. 

2020-2021 has been a very different year for Conwy Connect Engagement Service. There have been lots of changes and everyone has worked hard to stay connected. From April 2020 the Forum meeting stopped meeting in person. This was because of the Pandemic and lockdown. Monthly meeting started to meet every week for 1 hour. To meet up everyone used Zoom. The Conwy Connect forum WhatsApp group has been a really good way for people to stay in touch. Also the Forum WhatsApp group is a good way to pass on information. Members share news, cartoons, videos and photos of things they have been doing.From the Forum, the members vote for Representatives to go to other groups for them. There have been new Representatives and Deputies from January 2020. Bethan is our Conwy Rep and Carla is Deputy Rep or the North Wales Participation group (Regional). Richard is our Conwy Rep and Joanne is Deputy Rep for All Wales People First National Council. Shell is the North Wales Representative for the Learning Disability Ministerial Advisory Group. All these groups have been meeting during 2020/21 via Zoom. 

## **Health Improvement Service** 

Services provided include health check guides, traffic light hospital forms, Learning disability acute liaison service, Disability sport in Conwy, Sexual health and contraception, Diabetes, Breast Cancer and screening, Medical Student training. 

During 2020/21 leaflets were made by Paul Carter (Health Improvement Officer) about changes to doctor/hospital visits due to Covid-19, the Betsi Cadwaladr Learning Disability Acute Liaison Team aided with this. Zoom meetings were held every week for members which was good for people's mental health and it was a new way for people to see their friends. Paul set us a Youtube channel called Conwy Connect Televisions (CCTV for short) which has been used to tell people about health things. Lockdown Activity Packs were created and sent out to members, a health page was  included on this which told people about what exercise they could do and how to stay healthy in lockdown. Paul invited members into a Zoom meeting with Megan Vickery from Betsi Cadwaladr University Health Board to discuss what the members thought about local health care. A health challenge was created for some members asking them to walk and eat fruit every day, this was then discussed via Zoom and members did well. Health films were created for members by people at TAPE in Old Colwyn and The Learning Disability Acute Liaison Team helped also. A Zoom event was held by Nia Lederle from Public Health Wales and Helen Kenyon (Freelance Worker) to inform female members, also their parents and carers, about Smear Tests and Breast Screening. 

## **Planning for the future** 

This service providing support to individuals with learning disabilities and their parent/carers to plan for and help them during the transition into independent living. 

Service funding was due to finish in June 2018 however funding has been secured for a further 3 years, ending June 2021. 

Delyth Lloyd Williams (Family Support Officer) has been meeting with family carers via Zoom or phone during 2020/21. Some carers needed more help due to Covid-19, help was issued either by Delyth, an expert or another carer in the group. Conwy Connect offered online activities to families and Lockdown Activity Packs were created and sent out to members. A Zoom event was held in May 2021 with Social Services. 

## **Health and Well-Being Project** 

Health and Well-bring sessions began in October 2020. This course was delivered by the nurses from the Learning Disability Team. Eva Collins' (Freelance Worker) role involved assisting the nurses with getting the members to the sessions each week, to listen to their feedback after the sessions and any concerns they may have had. Regular contact was had with both the members and the nurses from the team. 

There were 4 blocks of 6 sessions, each of the blocks had an opportunity for 10 members and a facilitator to be involved. Topics covered included Diet and Exercise, Friends and Relationships, Health checks and keeping safe in the Community. Each of the members received a tablet if it was required, this encouraged the members to engage online and a Fitbit if needed.

## **REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021** 

## **OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES** 

All of the feedback from each of the members after the sessions was always positive and was so encouraging. Each member gained in confidence which over the weeks became apparent with engaging in the conversation more and more. It was something to look forward to each week as it was such an isolating time during lockdown for many of the members. 

## **Family Transition Service** 

Annemarie Mcnally (Family Transition Officer) completed her training to become a Support Planner/Broker. During Lockdown Annemarie completed bids for Grants, kept in contact with the Family Centres and school liaisons with ALNCo. She attended School Reviews and MDT for some young people.

## **Independent examiner's report to the trustees of Conwy Connect for Learning Disabilities ('the Company')** 

I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Company for the year ended 31 March 2021. 

## **Responsibilities and basis of report** 

As the charity's trustees of the Company (and also its directors for the purposes of company law) you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 ('the 2006 Act'). 

Having satisfied myself that the accounts of the Company are not required to be audited under Part 16 of the 2006 Act and are eligible for independent examination, I report in respect of my examination of your charity's accounts as carried out under section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 ('the 2011 Act').

2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or 

3. the accounts do not comply with the accounting requirements of section 396 of the 2006 Act other than any requirement that the accounts give a true and fair view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination; or 

4. the accounts have not been prepared in accordance with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice for accounting and reporting by charities (applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102)). 

I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
