## Chair’s Report
2020 was dominated by the Covid-19 pandemic. This impacted KingsCare significantly as well as the rest of the world! It was a hugely difficult year for many, particularly with concerns about health (both physical and mental), wellbeing and financial security. KingsCare has responded successfully to the significant pressures, the changes forced upon us and the local needs arising from the pandemic - whilst doing our best to support those with pre-existing needs. We have needed to provide core services in new ways whilst keeping employees and those we met safe. We have responded with flexibility, the staff and volunteers have worked tirelessly to cover existing and new needs in an environment when our core group activities have not been possible. | would like to personally thank the Team for their strong focus on supporting and meeting needs in the best way possible in exceptionally difficult times. There has been lots of one-to-one work, the Team has worked tirelessly to try and ensure those facing social isolation or needing prescriptions or shopping or had other needs were met. We provided help when it really mattered for many in 2020.
| would like to thank the Trustees for supporting the changes required. Our meetings moved to Zoom and everyone adapted and supported the faster decision-making processes required. The pandemic has driven change and the more regular contact with the adoption of virtual meetings has helped significantly during the year — we, however, look forward to more face-to-face meeting moving forward.
Maggie led us through this difficult year with energy, enthusiasm and sound judgement when we faced several tough decisions, quickly taking on board the advantages that the technological age can offer for remote working. Often the way forward was not always as clear as we would have liked but Maggie - your knowledge, skills, smarts and compassion ensured we never lost our way — on behalf of all of us, a huge thanks!
## Looking ahead
It is clear that there will perhaps be restrictions on how we live our lives for some time; these are often not based on guidelines but on the confidence to venture out. The pandemic and lockdowns have created a wave of complex grief/ loss, wellbeing and mental-health needs that will be felt in 2022 and beyond — the demand for our services is only going to increase not decrease.
We were in the final year of our National Lottery Reaching Communities Grant which has driven the growth in services we have offered over the last 5 years. Initial discussions with the National Lottery have been positive and they have been a strong supporter through Covid times. The charity is built on strong foundations thanks to their support. Other funding routes also provided help when it really mattered and we have benefited from some significant legacies in 2020 — thanks to all of those involved in fund raising, gifts or legacies — we will use the money wisely.

KingsCare and Kerswella’s resilience has been remarkable in 2020 giving us optimism for the future. We look forward to supporting our clients and communities for many years to come!
## Phil Millichap
Chair
## Manager’s Report
January 2020 heralded the final 9 months of our 5 year National Lottery Reaching Communities Grant. We were confident that we would be able to demonstrate that the grant had enabled KingsCare to grow hugely and that we had more than met the Outcomes that were set back in 2015. By the end of our financial year on 31 March 2020, the reality of trying to maintain our purpose within a pandemic was starting to be understood. All our social activities had to cease and half our staff had to self-isolate due either to health considerations or age. Yet the need for our support within our community was greater than ever.
One of the strengths of the Voluntary Sector is that we can act flexibly and quickly to situations as they arise. One of the first of those was the need to help the many who could not get out, had no family near and were not equipped to use the internet to get their essential groceries and household items. Another good thing about being a well known local community based voluntary organisation is that local people know where to go to when they want to volunteer. Many under the age of 70 with no underlying health conditions were unable to go to work and came to us to see what they could do to help. The new world of mask wearing, social distancing and panic buying made shopping a time consuming ordeal but none of it daunted the wonderful group of people who came forward to do just that. Determined to protect both the volunteer and the person for whom we shopped, we set up a system whereby the volunteers paid for the shopping through their personal accounts, took an image of the receipt, forwarded it by email to KingsCare and we then reimbursed them as soon as possible. This way we did c£20,000 worth of shopping for 89 different people.
## Prescription delivery
Another casualty of lockdown was the ability of individuals to go and fetch their prescriptions. Many couldn’t so they rang KingsCare. One particular volunteer, Ray Deacon, took on the challenge and delivered many of the 700 prescriptions requested by patients. As with the shopping he had to wait, fully masked and social distanced in queues outside the various chemists in the Newton Abbot area almost daily for many weeks. He did a truly amazingjob backed up when necessary by the staff members who were young and well enough to continue to work from within the office at Kingsteignton.

## Social groups
All of these were suspended but we did our best to keep in touch with all those that usually attend. Most of the staff and many volunteers took to making regular welfare calls.
## Transport
Our vehicles remained mostly in the car park as the GPs undertook most of their consultations over the telephone and the hospitals, overwhelmed with Covid patients, cut back severely on their face-to-face consultations. Donations from NFU Mutual and the Newton Abbot Rotary Club enabled us to buy an old London taxi in August. The screen dividing the driver from the passengers made it pretty Covid secure which meant that we were the able to resumea limited car service with confidence.

## Wellbeing Service Report
In normal times the Wellbeing Programme is a time limited chance for people to really focus on what matters to them and to receive support to make positive change. Last year was very different.
Our Wellbeing Coordinators were kept very busy throughout the Covid 19 Interruption. For large parts of the year, they were unable to visit people indoors. However, sterling efforts were made to support people by meeting outdoors where permitted or by phone, text and the internet. Many people were of low mood especially during the enforced lockdowns and it was a real challenge for the team to inject positivity and hope into conversations. Many people have been supported throughout the pandemic by the coordinators alone as few or no social activities were able to take place.
The coordinators were also part of the team who organised our volunteer shoppers and prescription delivery services, often undertaking these tasks themselves as the demand grew from shielding clients.
At times where lockdown was eased the coordinators were able to run some small group activities and ‘HOPE’ type courses.
During the year 121 Wellbeing referrals were supported along with many other clients requiring Covid 19 support.
## Newton Abbot Groups
Unfortunately, the groups based at the Avenue Church were closed for most of the year due to Covid 19 lockdowns or requirements for social distancing. We did, however ,run some social support groups during times when the rules were relaxed. Many people became frail and unable to attend the restarted groups and sadly a few of our regular attenders died during this period. In addition, some of our volunteers had to shield throughout and some did not feel safe to continue. When open the groups becamea lifeline to those caring 24/7 for their loved ones and those living alone.
Our amazing volunteers took on shopping roles and found creative ways to stay in touch such as What’s App groups and Zoom. Once again these activities were so important in helping to keep mental health in balance and isolation at bay.

## Mental Health
Well, what a year it has been for us all!
Covid continues to have an impact on the wellbeing of us all and so Maggie C and | have had a very busy year. Due to ongoing lockdowns those out there who are struggling with their mental health have found it more difficult to access local services such as their GP or local support groups, and this has put our service under more pressure than ever!
We have continued to offer emotional support over the telephone, but this has often left us feeling limited in the support we offer and there has not been the usual ‘goal setting’ and then natural end when working with people. We have received a lot of positive feedback during this time and lots of people have been very grateful for the contact, particularly those who are socially isolated and feeling lonely. We have also used online platforms to meet with people such as Zoom or WhatsApp, with varying success!
We have also, when appropriate been meeting with people outdoors for walks in nature with a flask of coffee. Being in nature and having exercise is in itself therapeutic and we are still able to have the privacy we need, being aware of others when necessary. Walking in woodland is particularly good for teaching Mindfulness techniques!
Maggie C and | have run several virtual Wellbeing/ HOPE courses during this period, both together and with colleagues. We ran a very successful HOPE course for people experiencing Long Covid symptoms, which we ourselves learnt a lot from. We found that anxiety and low mood is particularly prevalent for this group, and they were extremely grateful for the peer support that HOPE enabled them. Following the HOPE courses all groups continued to stay in touch via Whatsapp or Facebook.
The #DoitforDeaks project continues to reach many people through the Facebook page and we have continued to have a steady lot of self-referrals for Mental Health Signposting and have been responding to people looking for advice and guidance for a loved one who may be struggling with their mental health. We have utilised our ability to refer for free private counselling, thanks to funding via The Rotary Club of Newton Abbot. An excellent resource we are very grateful for! Most of this work has also been done over the phone and we use the Facebook page to let people know how to access crisis support if needed as this is not something we currently offer.

## Dementia Support
2020/21 has certainly been a challenging year with Covid restrictions having a significant impact on our ability to provide many of our usual support services. By working creatively and flexibly, however, we have managed to run a virtual version of some of our usual interventions and have learnt a great amount from this.
Lockdown made day-to-day work and communication with those suffering from Dementia and their Carers difficult. As soon as the first lockdown was put in place the Dementia Carers Support group switched from being a monthly face-to-face gathering to meeting virtually. This virtual group has been well received with some Carers finding it more convenient to attend virtually than travelling to a venue as well as enabling those who had not previously been able to attend face-to-face activities to get the peer support that is so valuable. Indeed, while some Carers did at first find it difficult to take part in the virtual Dementia Carers Support group due to technical barriers, the loan of Facebook portals purchased by KingsCare made accessing this opportunity possible.
Home visiting was prohibited for most of the year and so we offered telephone support and helped coordinate volunteers to undertake shopping errands. As Covid restrictions loosened we were able to restart our one-to-one wellbeing interventions by meeting people in their gardens or in outside spaces; this included patients who had been recently referred along with those previously supported.
When further restrictions were put in place, Carers were again supported by telephone ona regular basis; signposting taking place when required. The primary feedback was that the cared-for had

## KingsCare League of Friends Annual Report | 2021
deteriorated during Lockdown. All appreciated the input from KingsCare, and many said they did not know what they would have done without the support, advice and ongoing contact from our organisation.
Due to lockdown restrictions the Memory Café has been unable to meet over this past year. However, we have kept the spirit of the Café alive by sending out a monthly newsletter and activity pack to all our regular attendees. We have also been keeping in phone contact with Café members.
Another virtual intervention we provided was a 14 week Cognitive Stimulation Therapy (CST) course for people with mild to moderate dementia. This intervention was set up with the support of Memory Matters and was similarly well received by members.
Both Jackie and David completed the virtual
Cognitive Stimulation Therapy (vCST) training run y Memory Matters and subsequently co-hosted the course on Zoom for four people living with dementia. During the WEEE leading up to Christmas they delivered over 50 gift hampers to Carers and people living with dementia which were very well received.

During the year Jackie attended, and contributed by} to anumber of Zoom meetings including: virtual HOPE training; vCST network meetings; the locality dementia meetings chaired by the Community Services Manager; and the Teignbridge Dementia Action Alliance meetings.
In November the Masonic Charitable Foundation awarded us £15,000 to support this work over the next 3 years.
Moving forward, we are continuously reviewing Covid restrictions and plan to have all usual groups and one-to-one interventions operating as soon as government guidelines allow.

## Home from Hospital Service
Following government advice on 16 March 2020 to stop non-essential contact and work from home wherever possible, Newton Abbot Hospital Wards were closed to non-essential staff and visitors to preserve the safety of the significant number of vulnerable patients. As a result, | had to rely on the medical and therapy team to refer patients and their carers to me for support. It became very apparent that my absence on the ward also resulted in very few referrals to the Home from Hospital Service. | kept in regular contact with the discharge team who were under immense pressure to
10
|
|
| |
## KingsCare League of Friends Annual Report | 2021
clear the hospital beds asap so patients could be transferred from Torbay Hospital whilst keeping Newton Abbot Hospital Covid free/
At the height of the pandemic, Teign Ward (Stroke) patients were transferred to Torbay and Teign Ward became Turner Ward and the Ricky Grant Unit supporting cancer patients. Templar Ward continued to be a medical ward. This remained so until Covid numbers reduced significantly and stroke patients were transferred back from Torbay to Templar Ward. Some adaptions were made to make Templar Ward fit for purpose for Stroke patients. It was then decided that Teign Ward would become the medical ward once Turner Ward and the Ricky Grant Unit moved back to Torbay. Teign has remained a medical ward.
All patients on discharge from Newton Abbot Hospital receive the KingsCare Home from Hospital information leaflet in their discharge pack. Some patients contacted KingsCare post discharge, others were referred by the discharge teams.
## Support for carers
Unpaid carers play a crucial role in meeting the needs of the most vulnerable people in our community. KingsCare helps them to access the support they are entitled to as a carer so that they can look after their own wellbeing so as to live a healthy, fulfilling life alongside their caring role.
We continued to support carers and their cared for throughout the pandemic. Carers were thrown into stressful situations when day and respite services closed and they became carers 24/7 without a break; occupational therapists and physiotherapists cancelled visits. A large number of care agencies were very short staffed because a significant number of colleagues were in the vulnerable category or had caring responsibilities for their loved ones who were also in the vulnerable category. Day centres, respite services along with carer visits being cancelled put extra pressure on unpaid carers. We have heard many personal stories about the impact this has had on the carer and cared- for, at times resulting in verbal aggression or physical outbursts for one or both and, overall, a deterioration in both physical and mental health for both. We are still seeing the impact of this, along with loneliness and isolation.
## We set up Zoom meetings for carers as face- to —
face groups were halted. This, in some way, helped carers to support each other but they longed for the face to face meetings to return. Our carers week 7-13th June was held via Zoom with 18 attendees. We covered a wide range of issues appertaining to carer's roles. Eg: Introduction - Rosemary Newman -— Carer Lead, Kingscare Manager — Maggie Bonnell, David Garland - Dementia Activities, Jackie Milan — Dementia Carers, Maggie Cleverley — Mental Health, Sharon Venning - Wellbeing and HOPE Programme, Rosemary Newman - Welfare Benefits, Rosemary Newman - Carers Support, Questions and Mindfulness
Jackie and | set up a Zoom meeting for Carers Rights Day on 26th November. This was well attended. Second lockdown happened and carers, especially, found this incredibly difficult. We continued to support carers, mostly via telephone.
11
## KingsCare League of Friends Annual Report | 2021
We were able to resume face- to- face carer's groups briefly when the first lockdown eased but had to resort to Zoom again for the 2nd lockdown. As with the general public, carers found the 2nd lockdown more challenging.
‘When we're caring, it can feel like we're living with the shadow of isolation. *
## Welfare Benefits Home Visiting Service
Whilst we closed for face-to-face client service, our telephone service continued throughout. Action was taken to deliver the client service as comprehensively as possible using home and revised ways of working with the use of office laptops and mobile phones. Online benefit application forms were introduced via DWP. Information security and client confidentiality has been maintained through the dedication of staff and volunteers. GDPR compliance has been maintained throughout this time. Two of our volunteers continued to visit clients at home, strictly observing government guidelines to deliver the welfare benefits service. Other volunteers preferred to support clients over the phone. This was not a popular alternative with clients due to the complexity of the benefits system and their individual circumstances. We quickly had a long waiting list and this continues as only 2 volunteers are visiting clients at home. The £20 weekly increase for those on Universal Credit created a life line for a lot of claimants and we are mindful that this will have an adverse impact on client's income and ability to budget when this ends in October 2021. We are starting to see an increase in food, goods and utility prices already.
We are supporting more clients over all the services and via welfare calls, as the full impact of the pandemic is realised. Nationwide the difficulty in accessing face- to- face appointments has highlighted the increase in patients who are now palliative; existing health conditions have not been monitored in the same way, mental health has been affected for many as well. Patients have been asked to E-consult or to send photos into the surgery to be looked at by a medic. We hear personal stories where this has resulted in some misdiagnosis for some patients. The true impact of not seeing GPs or consultants face- to- face as well as not having planned surgery during this time has yet to be published.

## CareLink and Statistics — Covid Interruption- Statistics April 2020-March 2021
Over the year it became increasingly clear that we needed to work towards a more informative system of recording our work and impact on those we support in line with GDPR principles. It also became imperative that we were able to improve our ability to make our records whilst working from home. The computers in the office all belong to the NHS so it proved quite difficult to set up the cloud based system we need but the local NHS IT staff worked extremely hard with our IT specialist and CareLink, the data recording system we have been using for some time, has become cloud based. This means firstly that staff can work safely from home and use the time when they are able to come into the office more effectively. Secondly we are now in a position to improve our record keeping and will, in future, have a growing confidence in the statistics that we publish.

## Kerswella Care
Statement for the Annual Report of KingsCare League of Friends for 2020/21
## 1. The organisation:
Kerswella Care is a voluntary patient support group based at the Kingskerswell Health Centre since 2017 and responsible to it for providing a range of well-being and support services to socially isolated, vulnerable and elderly residents. The group covers the Kingskerswell, Abbotskerswell, lpplepen & Coffinswell communities through the Kingskerswell & lpplepen Medical Practice in the Teignbridge area of South Devon.
Kerswella Care is mainly funded through the Lottery ‘Building Communities Fund’ (BCF) via KingsCare League of Friends to whom it is reportable and accountable. Local fundraising is also important and activities are managed through a local Co-ordinator and supported by a group of volunteers in a committee and a link trustee to KingsCare. The Coordinator and her Assistant work alongside existing groups to develop relationships with local communities. In the spring 2021 Ipplepen ‘Sharing Care’ who support residents in a similar way to ourselves, joined forces with Kerswella, and at the end of the year Kingskerswell ’Sharing Care’ asked us to take on their remaining functions. Asa consequence, the number of our volunteers has increased and we expect this to continue into 2021.
Because of the impact on charities of the Covid pandemic, the Lottery decided in the autumn 2020 that the BCF grant period would be extended to 30th June 2021 instead of finishing in April 2021. Until then KingsCare continues to be responsible for the employment of Kerswella staff, insurances for Kerswella activities and for the range of policies and procedures governing Kerswella’s work supplemented by local arrangements. Associated with the impact on charities, the Lottery approved a grant to KingsCare for additional costs related to Covid with £16,875 included for Kerswella’s costs.
2. Kerswella Care aims:
- a To improve the quality of life of those in need by providing services that include home support, befriending, carer support, shopping, transport to medical/social activities and prescription delivery,
14
|
|
## KingsCare League of Friends Annual Report| 2021
u To increase the accessibility to local activities that will enhance residents' well-being, social inclusion and social connections. A significant aim is to reduce loneliness within a population that includes 30% who are over 60 with 35% of those living alone.
a To help identify unmet needs within the communities and provide support to deliver change.
## 3. How these aims are achieved:
|
Kerswella has access to and has set up a wide range of support services and activities all aimed at improving the quality of life of those in need within our community. To this end, Kerswella works hard at encouraging people in need to take stock of their lives and introduce them to the appropriate social connections to prevent or reduce their feelings of loneliness. We work across local agencies and volunteer groups to access expertise and help as needed - Kerswella Care is also able to access the services and work alongside the Newton Abbot Locality Wellbeing Co-ordinators who are employed in that area by KingsCare.
## 4. Activities and projects in 2020/21:
Kerswella Care has operated since the autumn 2017 following the appointment of Gill Gould as Co-ordinator. Fiona Sykes was appointed as Gill’s assistant in 2019. She resigned in the autumn 2020 and was replaced in January 2021 by Sally Collier who is one of our volunteers. She will continue to look after the many and varied administration tasks for Kerswella.
In 2020/21 however, Kerswella’s activities and project were focussed on alleviating the effects of the Covid pandemic on our most vulnerable residents through the Kingskerswell Coronavirus Crisis Response team representing the main local community groups and led by Kerswella. It was not possible to run any of our regular activities. Nevertheless, we were able to maintain important contact with our Memory Café and Lunch Club groups through the pandemic notably by means of the fortnightly ‘packs’ ranging from a hamper at Christmas to cream teas & cakes plus quizzes & games involving up to 70 households. We are grateful for financial support from Devon County Council and Teignbridge District Council Covid funds to enable this to continue. We had some lovely appreciative messages including: “Congratulations to all the Kerswella team and what you have achieved — wonderful. You have touched the lives of so many people “. “Thank you
15

## KingsCare League of Friends Annual Report[2021
All these activities and projects have informed our learning as a group and helped us to consider new ways of reaching and supporting residents often drawing on the similar experiences of other local voluntary groups.
## 5. Governance:
a) Trustees - Kingsley Matthews has continued in his role as the Link Trustee link between Kerswella Care & its Committee and KingsCare. The KingsCare Trustees generally meet monthly and it is the role of the Link Trustee to report on activities undertaken by Kerswella and seek approval to those where KingsCare have the responsibility particularly in respect of services and activities funded from the BCF Lottery grant. This also includes budget setting and monitoring.
- b) Committee - The Kerswella Committee oversees local operations including fundraising. There are 10 members including the following officers: Chair — Rachel Fleet (appointed at the February 2021 meeting), Treasurer — Gillian Wright, Secretary — Kingsley Matthews. During the year the Committee met remotely 5 times. The Committee decided that it was in Kerswella’s best interest to remain partnered with KingsCare League of Friends for the time being given all the uncertainties brought about by the Covid pandemic. This however will be revisited when the time is right.
- c) Annual Accounts 2020/21 — these were approved by the Kerswella Committee at their meeting on 15"" June 2021 and are attached. The statement was agreed by the KingsCare Trustees at their meeting on 24" June 2021. Although increasing, turnover was again deemed insufficient for Kerswella to appoint its own independent auditors.
Grant income excludes Lottery funding paid to KingsCare as this forms part of KingsCare’s accounts.
## 6. Where we go next:
Evidence shows that Kerswella is now well-established in the community. We need to meet the challenge of our growth as well as respond to the community’s needs as the Covid lockdown eases. Both will point us in new directions. Both also require collaborative
