Kingscare League of Friends Annual Report 2022 Chalrfs Report The COVID-19 pandemlc has affected everyone in our community in some way and unfortunately its impact will be felt for many year5. We have had the direct health impacts as well as the dlsruption to health and social services. People are more likely to feel lonely, especially those living alone or who are unwell. Mental Health and Wellbeing has been negatively irnpacted. People are more depressed, anxious and afraid because of lockdown, family concerns and bereavement. Klngscare's servlces have never been MO needed locally. We sUPPOrted well in excess of 2.000 individuals, ran more than 200 group sesslons and made 3,WO trlpsfor our community. This would not have been possible without our volunteers. stsff and funders- thank you all for doing your bit to help locallv. The year has felt a blt Ilke the morning after the night before, but all of our activities at some stage in the year re-started along with some new ones- please take the time to read the report you will be amazed by the depth and breadth of activities / support we have given. From Carers Groups, Memory Cafes, Anxlety Cafes, Allotments, walking and swimming groups lin the pool and in the sea) Iys been a busy successful year. As the need has remained wSth the NHS overwhelmed and wlth the Lottery fundlng now ended, funding for the charity is a major concern. The tharity has grown hugely asslsted by Lottery support whlch has been fantastic news for the communlty. We now need to flnd ongoing funding for this much larger charity moving forward. Funding streams at the moment are transient and the funding environment is significantly more fragmented and difficult than 5 years ago. We have benefited from some Incredlbly generous legacies in the last few years which have helped hugely. These are flrm evldence that our efforts are really appreciated In the community. Klngscare and Kerswella Care are amazing organisations doing wonderful things in thelr communltles. There are so many acts of kindness and support glven. This would not be possible without Maggie. our dedicated staff and lovely volunteers- on behalf of the Trustees a huge thanks to you alll Manager's Report We started the year with optimism that the pandemic was on its way out and we could be8in to plan for the restarting of actlvities by the Summer. However, we also acknowledged the need for the continuatlon of homeworking so invested in some detailed training on the use of our data collectlon 5yStem, CareLlnk.
Kingscare League of Friends Annual Report 2022 In April we were given a short temi grant through the Wellbeing Partnership to build a database of Approved Service Provider5 whom we can recommend to support people in need of a wide range of services from halrdressers to electricians, care agencie5 to gardeners. Each servlce provider has to slgn a customer charter and we regularly check wlth customers on the service provided to ensure that it is of good quality. The flrst of our group activities started in May with a face-to-face Carers, Group and a standlng Tai chi class. We were awarded the Telgnbridge CVS Quality Assurance ma for the second tlme. By June we had restarted our Monday walking group underthe leadership of Graham Warren and Rosemary Newman was allowed back Into Newton Abbot Hospltal for the first tlme for 15 Months SO that she could vlslt the patients in person to ascertain how best to help them on thelr dlscharge home. We submitted our final retum to the Lottery after 5% years. Itfelt very odd to not have the Lottery behind us any more! However, their generous support over all that tlme dld ènable us to do all that we promised In the original Reachin8 Communities bid and more, The work we now do throughout Newton Abbot wouldn't have been posslble wlthout It and the number of people we have helped there over the years is very conslderable. In July we took over an overgrown allotment in the mlddle of Kingsteignton and started on the mammoth task of clearing it. The plan is to make It Into a qulet space containing ralsed beds, seating, plants that attract insects and plants that glve off a pleasant aroma. It will be somewhere to go and potter in the greenhouse, tend the garden and generally relax. As St Is hldden among a group of houses we are not almlng at encouraging large groups of people to en8a8e in the project as we have to be sensltive to the nelghbours but we are hoping that It will become a natural haven for lust a few local people who wlll beneflt from connecting with nature in a central town location. A huge vote of thanks Is due to Darrln of Sibelco who got a small gang of his workforce together to do the initlal clearance and has done a great job In moving the soil and rocks around so that we Can make sense of the plot. An equally large vote of thanks also goes to Billy whose local connertions and hard work are turning this wasteland Into something special. Kin8Steignton Town Councll once again supported our summer swimmlng sessions at Kingstelgnton Pool, Due to Covid restrictions swimmers were not allowed either to shower 31Page
Kingscare League of Friends Annual Report 2022 or to socialise after the swlm but the swimmers were so delighted to be able to return after 2 years that the restrlctions didn't concern them unduly. During the Summer the staff started to return to the Offi with more frequency though, because of the lack of offlce space. home worklng continued alongslde. By August we had many of our groups in Newton Abbot up and running agaln and had re- started singing. 14arriers of Newton Abbot found themselves with a vast quantity of teddy bears for which they had no use. We were very fortunate in being able to secure I) of them to help us with ourfundralslng overthe coming months. Throughout the pandemit our amazlng volunteers dld a huge amount of shopplng forthe housebound. As the months of 2021 went by, the call on this service abated though we will probably malntain a higher number than we ever dld pre-pandemic. Slmllarly the calls for psCriptIon dellverles slowed down. In September we were able to hold our first Kingsteignton social afternoon, Tea & Chats and were dellghted to be able to host a blrthday partyfor Mary Hewitt whose iooth happened to fall on that day. Our much loved minibus trips out and about were sorely missed. One of our regulars decided they hadn't been running because I wouldn't let theml True but I think Covid restrictions were partly to blame a5 well l However. a5 the restrictions lessened the trip5 could be get going agaln and every Wednesday became trlp day. Also, in September, Chris Wright, the widow of our much loved minlbus driver, Alan, wa5 finally able to hold a day of celebration for his life which those who worked with him were proud to be able to enjoy. Some of us were privlleged to be Invited to a lunch In a hotel In Pai8nton and a trip down the River Dart in the evening to lay his ashes at the mouth of the river. Very moving. In October we held our f irst Lunch Club in Klngstelgnton for 19 months. We knew that several of our pre-pandemic regulars had passed away or would otherwise be unable to attend again so the lunch numbers were down at first but, I'm delighted to say, the number5 have grown over the subsequent months. Similarly all the Avenue group5 have been rebulldlng since our re-openlng except for the Wrltlng Group. Unfortunately our excellent tutor, Sarah Hopklns, has been unable to resume her classes but we live in hope that She will be back at some stage. In December we were able to vlslt people In thelr own home5 in the company of the Beaver5 and deliver Christmas hampers, another of our annual events that couldn't happen during the pandemic. Althou8h the chlldren were not able to enter the recipients, houses 41Page
Kingscare League of Friends Annual Report 2022 as In prevlous years, it was a dry evening and much chatter went on on the doorstep. Also in December we had a stall at the Newton Abbot Victorian Evening, another annual event that could not be held durlng the pandemlc. Raffling from a stall malnly made up of ourteddy bears, we had a 8reat evening and ralsed £210. It felt really good to be back taklng part In a community event after the months of restrictions that prevented so many such eventsfrom happenlng Although the partners at Kingsteignton Medlcal Practice no longer allow the display of posters within the building, they agreed to the erection of an outdoor noticeboard enabllng us to advertlse our actlvltles to those passing by, many of whom do not routlnely log on to Social media. Over the year much work has gone on in the background as we build up the case for the Sorting Office project and all the individual streams of work that KlnEsCare undertakes. These are all covered below. Meanwhile I wish to thank the Trustees, staff and volunteers who've all worked so hard to help us to maintaln and grow our vital work during the last year. Maggle Bonnell Manager Fundralslng Through most of thls flnancial year community fundraising activities were unable to be held asthey would have done pre-pandemic. However money was raised for us in varlous ways and we're extremely grateful to those who organlsed them for us. The Sandygate Inn hosted a weekend festival to ralse money for our Suicide prevention project, #doltfordeaks. It wa5 well attended and, together wlth other events hosted by the pub, raised £4,720 for the cause, We were awarded £2.000 from the Teignbridge Covid Hardship Fund whlch we are Investing in a cookbook that will be available in 2022,
Kingscare League of Friends Annual Report 2022 Southlands Residentlal Care Home organised a vlrtual cycle ride for thelr residents down the length of the Thames, endlng up at pier in Southend. The residents absolutely loved It and ralsed money for Kingscare along the way. Pedal power boosts charity's coffers or Tkniii4 Ihii Ikii In September our Chair Phil Mllllchap, accompanSed by one of our teddy bears, undertook a 19 day walk around the South West Coa5tpath to celebrate mllestone birthday of hls own and to ralse funds for our Sorting Offlce project. We had several retlrlng collectlons and legacles which, together with a string of mlnor donations from a range of people for a range of reasons, helped boost our funds enormously. We are always taken aback by the gener051ty of people and always extremelv grateful. The Hub Every part of our or8anisatlon relle5 heavily on the commitment of our amazing team of volunteers. Never more so than wlth the work undertaken by our charlty shop, the Hub, whlch Is run entirely by volunteer5. BeuSe of the poor footfall and lack of parking close by, the volunteers work tirelessly to find other avenues through which to recycle some of the goods donated. Thls is a very time consuming occupatlon but It means that we are able to malntaln the recycllng of a huge number of donations for financial reward wlth the very mlnlmum ending up atthe tlp. However, we would love to have the shop open more frequently as customer numbers are up on previous years but we desperately need more volunteers to enable thls to happen. Newton Abbot Groups Most of our Newton Abbot activitles are based at the Avenue Church and this excellent venue continues to meet our needs and offer the facilities our beneficiaries require, The start of the year was difficult as it coincided with the end of the Natlonal Lockdown and the be8innlng of the roadmap to live wlth Covid. 61Pa8e
Kingscare League of Friends Annual Report 2022 It was good to see that desplte the unease regardlng Covid, people were desperate to meet inside On agaln. The volunteers worked really hard alongslde the Avenue Church to provide a Covld secure envlronment for our groups. Drop in games sessions- Monday and Thursday The Drop-in games groups including table tennis ran twice a week, both started slowly but gained participants falrly quickly once the word got out. Although billed similarly the groups were different In character, Monday being busler often attractlng 15 or so; Thursday a quSeter Session often with different groups of particSpants and volunteers. Dominoes, Scrabble and Table Tennis were popular throughout. The groups provided valuable mutual support and some respite for Carers too, Exerclse The exercise group met each Monday and althoLJgh a smaller group this year, achieved a loyal following. The instructor David Jenkin was able to tailor each session to the needs of individual participants. Tuesday Craft and Games group The Tuesday Craft and Coffee group was rebranded as a Craft and Games group to reflect the need of the participants. Again, the group 8rew well over the year from the Covid wary restart. Most importantly It was lovely to witness the interactions between all the partlcipants and the support mutually glven. rjme for You carers support group Thls group led by Rosemary Newman had operated via zoom durlng the previous lockdown so it was wlth a huEe sigh of rellef that the group was able to restart physically. There is no substitute for a face-to-face meeting with other carers and supportive professionals. Carers Week was appropriately recognised with a speclal day event which was well supported. Memory Café The Memory Cafe started again after a 16 month break due to Covid restrlctlons. The numbers attending have quickly increased from 14-20 regular attendees and are rising. Over the year the particlpants have taken part in a wide range of remlniscence actlvities and qulzze5 to help provide cognitive stimulation. There ha5 also been a range of outslde speakers, entertainers and a therapy dog visiting the Café to help brlng variety to the prOedIngS. 71Page
Kingscare League of Friends Annual Report 2022 Gardenlng The weekly sessions at the Coach Road allotment space on Thursday afternoons supported participants with memory problemsto grow frults and vegetsbles whlch they have been able to take home for the table. Although small in temis of beneficiaries the volunteers were very dedlcated and some marvellous produce was grown and sold in ald of Klngscare. Unfortunately, as the year came to an end a declsion was made to call a halt to these sessions and work on developin8 a new allotment project in Kingsteignton. Mini Bus Outings Our Newton Abbot minibus outlngs were falrly limlted during the last year. We were worried about balancing wellbeing with increased covid transmission in enclosed spaces. Those organlsed included trips to Paignton, Dawli5h Warren and a lovely Christmas meal at the Moorland Hotel, Haytor, Once again, our volunteers facilitated Bank Holiday opening which was much needed to maintain contlnulty and reduce isolation for long stretches of tlme, We would once again like to extend our thanks and admiratlon to our soclal volunteer group in Newton Abbot who have managed successfully to rebuild our activtties followlng the Covid Lockdowns.

Wellbelng Posters and Leaflets Due to the impact of COVID and the lack of people visiting G.P. surEeries- it was harder to reach out to local people about our wellbeing servlce and the support we offered. At the beglnnlng of the year, we decided to promote the wellbeing programme using posters and leaflets and have slnce distributed them in the local community. Wellbelng Case Study Wellbelng referral - to help a client with soci31 activities, home help, advice and source a washing machine and cooker. He'd recently had a stroke which had affected hi5 memory and confidence and he was very untrustlng of people.

Sharon Vennlng Wellbelng Lead Mental Health The pandemic has impacted us all In dlfferent ways and, as we try to return to a new 'normal', the need for effertlve mental health support appears more in demand than ever, Maggie Cleverly and I contlnue to offer one-to-one time limited support to the community and we have, unsurprlsingly, seen an increase In the number of referrals and have forrned a small walting list. Unfortunately. the NHS services are overwhelmed and waiting lists can be long. The positive aspect to thls is that many of the people we work with have benefitted from our support and we feel confident that intervening early helps people to recover quickly wlthout the need for additional servlces. We are really happy to have been able to restart the Mental Health Carers Group face-to - face, and facllltated by MaE8ie who is a Carer herself and understands the challenges her group face. Carers of a loved one who struggles with poor mental health can find themselves feellng very isolated, particularly over the past 2 years, and this group is a valuable resource for them, IIIPage
Kingscare League of Friends Annual Report 2022 We have enjoyed collaborating wlth other fantastic organizations on projects over the past year. We were able to provide a'HOPE' course for Women's Wellbeing, with the participants referred from Wellbeing in Action and the course held on thelr premises, We have also co-facilitated Newton Abbots first 'Anxiety Café, with Recovery Devon, This is a 6-week group formed to support our local Soclal Prescribers who Identlfled that anxlety was present in many of their patients. We use the time to explore and understand anxiety and share coping strategies. The main success from this group was the ongoing peer support and they continue to meet independently and have formed close friendships. Many have seen a big improvement in their overall anxiety and how it impacts their life. A huge thank you is due to the CVS for their input and for securlng fundlng to enable these groups to run.
DoitforDeaks contlnues to be a well utillzed
projert wlth a steady number of self-referrals for our signposting sessions. We find most of the people we work with have been recommended by a frlend so we knowwe're making a positlve difference In our community. We are incredibly grateful for ongoing community support to keep this project runnlng. The Rotsry Club of Newton Abbot have contlnued to fund free counselling sessions for The Dartmoor Centre of Counselling which has been an invaluable resource for us and we were very lucky to have been chosen by The Sandygate Inn as their charity of the year. The 5andygate did several fundraising events such as a Pug Party and a 8lkers Night. but the icing on the cake was the fantastic music event held in August. All tO8ether they donated nearly £5.000 to #DoitForDeaks, amazlngl

Another fun event we organized was a sea swlmmlng taster sesslon. Sea swimming is proven to have many health benefits, including improving mental health symptoms such as anxiety and low mood. Thi5 took place in February whSch Is the coldest month in the sea128 people braved the elements and thelr feedback was really p051tive, with many joinSng 'Healthscape' to contlnue swlmmlng on a regular basls. As we are keen to always add to our skill set, I have now completed a course which will allow me to facilltate Connect 5 courses. This is a great course designed to help volunteers and professionals have more confldent conversatlons around mental health, whilst also reflecting on their own wellbelng. I really enjoyed the training and look forward to offering thi5 course locally over the next few months. As always, it has been a really busy year for our small team, and we don't expect to slow down anytime soonl Brlony Enrlght Mental Health Support Worker
Kingscare League of Friends Annual Report 2022 Dementla Service Dementia Activitles It was another interesting year for the DementSa service as the Covid risks subsided and the restrlctlons on people meeting together came to an end. One-to-one wellbeing interventlons for people wlth dementia living in the communlty became possible again after a long hiatus. A recent example of work undertaken is that of a person recently diagnosed with dementia who has been supported In gaining confidence in uslng buses and developing new interests to support his mood and wellbeing. Durln8 the first half of the year the Newton Abbot Memory Café was still unable to meet due to Covid restrictions but in July the Café started again after a break of 16 months. Inltlally the Café had reduced numbers attending to manage the Covid risk but by the end of the year the Café was in full swing again with attendance flgures back to pre-pandemic levels. Recent posltlve feedback about the Café came from the husband of a client who attends every month. He reported that hls wife 'is a different woman, after attendlng the Café and that her mood Ilfts and she Is more anlmated and interested In things. Looking to the future there are plans to stsrt another Memory Café wlthln Newton Abbot as it is clear there Is a keen demand for thi5 kind of interventlon and the opportunity it provides for peer support. The Dementla Carer Support Group continued to be held virtually for the first half of the year due to Covid restrictlons but this is now meeting face-to-face once again with the cared for person taking part in an Actlvlty Group in a separate room. Numbers have plcked up quickly post Covid with Carers reporting that it is great to be able to get face to face support once agaln after rnonths of isolatlon durlng the various lockdowns. Our walking group for people concerned about thelr memory or with a formal diagnosis of dementia finally started in May of this year. This group provides people with the opportunity to particlpate In an easy grade walk with a focus on the local history and nature encountered on the route together with the camaraderie of walking together. The group has been popular in the Sprlng and Summer months wlth a small group continulng to walk overthe Winter months. Davld Garland Dementla Actlvltles Coordlnator
Kingscare League of Friends Annual Report 2022 Dementia Carers, Support The number of referrals to Kingscare requesting support for dementia Carers has steadlly Increased throughout the year, In contrast to prevlous years the referrals tend to be for Carers carlng for a loved one wlth more moderate to late-stage dementia. Thls may be because people living with dementia have had delayed access to a dlagnosis durlng the pandemlc. For the first five months of the year dementia Carers, meetings contlnued to be held virtually. This was well received, with some car$ flndinE it more convenlent to attend vlrtually rather than travelling to a venue. In addition, these virtual meeting5 enabled those who had not previously been able to attend face-to-face meetings to access valuable peer support. By September we were able to meet face-to-face and, to allow Carer5 to attend, an activity group was simultaneously offered for those they care for. Holding the groups in separate room5 enabled Carers to speak freely about any concerns they may have and to receive peer support. In June the Newton Abbot Memory Café re-opened. My role Is to support regular Carers who attend and to welcome new Carers, offering to visit them at home to provide support, information, and to signpost to other organisations. Visiting Carers in their home envlronment, sometlmes with their cared-for joining the conversation, give5 a good insight Into any challenges and issues they may have and to discuss opportunities and solutions. Forthree months over the summer, l also attended the Kerswella Memory Café, agaln to support Carers and arrange home vi5it5. In September a'music for Memories, session was arranged on a Saturday afternoon by the Teignbridge Dementia Actlon Alliance in St Paul's Church in the centre of Newton Abbot. Carer5 brought the person they care for and reported afterwards the difference it made to their loved one. Everyone went home wlth a smlle on their face, humming thelr favourite tune, Later in the Autumn I ran a HOPE course with one of our Wellbeing Co-ordinators. The attendees were all dementia Carers whose loved one had recently moved into residential care on a long-term basls. The course lasted six weeks and we received very positive feedback.

Kingscare League of Friends Annual Report 2022 Transport I started my joumey (both Ilterally and figurativelyl with Kingscare on 1st August. To say the time has flown by would be an understatement. In August we were still, slcwly, moving out of the various forms of lockdown. I believe the figure5 reflect this change of clrcumstances. In the first quarter of the year (April, May, June 20211 our total passenger journeys were 458. By the last quarter this figure had rlsen to 1216. These totals are included with others at the end of this report, wlth separate flgures for delivery of prescriptlons or shopping. I have moved all the vehicles except the taxi onto a new fleet insurance policy. This was sourced through a local broker. Binfield Insurance, based in Teignmouth. The premium was competltlve, and they answer the phone if you need to speak to them I Probably the blggest Issue that needs addressing urgently concerns the amount of volunteer drlvers and their availability. At the present time we have a pool of a dozen drlvers. Unfortunately, at any one time at least half of these drivers are unavailable for various reasons. Other factors such as individuals unable to help wheelchair users or people with limited mobillty means it can sometimes prove very difficult to fulfil requests. To ccnclude Requests for transport have increased greatly over the last year. Looklng ahead our priorities are twofold. Firstly. we need to consider a recruitment drive for new drlvers. Secondly, we need to look at the contributions we receive. Whilst most people willingly give the amount suggested, if not more, there is a small minority who give less or sometimes nothlng towards the cost of a trip. We currently have a Ilst of suggested donations to various locatlons. In light of the rlses in fuel cost5 etc I believe these flgures need to be re visited. Maybe an option would be to ask for a mlnlmum donation for any trlp, however long or short?

Kingscare League of Friends Annual Report 2022 Hospital Discharge Covid continued to have a slgnlflcant impact on the way we dellvered the Home from H05Pltal service. The wards were closed periodically due to patients and/or staff testing positive for Covid. We needed to rely on referrals from the discharge team to support patients once they were discharged home from hospital. There were requests for befriending. shopping, furniture movlng to accommodate hospital bed5 and equipment leg: commodes and hoisting equipment), housing issues, Carer support, welfare benefits; referrals to organlsatlons such as Splltz to support wlth domestic violence/abuse,' referrals to local voluntary services and local statutory services, transport requests, food parcels, We work well with other voluntary sector organisations, GP surgeries, Care Dlrert, Devon Carers, Torbay Carers, Cltlzens Advlce. We dellvered Christmas hamper5 kindly donated by Newton Abbot Rugby Club to those In need. Thls surprlse dellvery was very gratefully recelved by our clients. A Typlcal Case Study and the Issues ralsed A 94 year old rnale patient, the Carer for his wife aged 84, was admitted to hospital following a stroke. Intsrventlon The gentleman was discharged from hospital with no follow up care as it was deemed he was recoverlng well. A family member called the Kingscare office as she was very concerned about the patlent not havin8 any follow up support. I suggested to the family to rin8 the ward and to let them know about the concerns of the dlscharge. The patient had looked well on discharge but, once home and needing to manage his personal care, medication etc he was 500n exhausted and felt unwell. The Neuro team sald they would vlslt. They visited and put some aids in place. In the meantime, while waiting for Neuro team to visit (they had called to cancel as someone was unwell), I vlsited wlth the family to assess. The patient showed me how he felt he had improved but had difficulty with balance and his dominant hand had been affected. We discussed the issues at hand eg neither he nor hi5 wife was able to use the bath or Shower. We discussed applying for a Disabled Facilltles Grant and l agreed to make a referral to Care Direct Plus once the situation had settled. There were too many people Involved in visiting them at that tlme for them to welcome anyone else We dlstussed the Importance of a personal alarm as the patlent Ilked to spend tlme in the garden and his wife has hearing difficultles.

I gave them a food delivery catalogue for days when he doesn't feel Ilke cooking Finally I made a referral to Devon Carers for Carer support for the daughter in law who has now taken on the taring role for both. Outcomes The patient and famlly felt they were belng supported and have a Package of Care for any queries. The personal alarm gives the patient and his family security that, should he have a fall, he could call for help and prevent a, long lie,. The cleaninglhome help seNices are in place which helps keep the home clean and also to monitor the situation. Carerfs support allevSates some of the family stress. The patient and his wife are feeling more accepting of support. At first they were reticent as they felt It might take away their independence. Claimin8 benefits will give financial freedom to engage the cleaner, the Eardener and the food delivery servlce.

Kingscare League of Friends Annual Report 2022 Kerswella artivities and projects continue to be managed through a local Co-ordinator, Glll Gould, and her assistant, Sally Collier, with both ably supported by a group of volunteers in committee and a lir)k Trustee to Kingscare. The Co.ordlnator and her assistant work alongside existing groups to develop relationships with local communities. Because of the impact on charities of the Covid pandemic, the Lottery decided that the Buildin8 Communities Fund IBCFI grant throu8h Kingscare League of Friends would be extended to 30th June 2021. However, since then Kingscare has continued to be responsible for meeting Kerswella staff costs and insurances for the range of policies and procedures governlng Kerswella's work supplemented by local arrangements. The use of reallocated funding precluded any costs falling to Kerswella until the year end. Local fvndraising is therefore of continuing importance as plans are developed to ensure that Kerswella can remain a going concern without the major input of 8rant funding, at least for the time being. At the end of the year plans were being drawn up to reglster Kerswella as an independent charity incorporated organisation ICIO} in its own right although maintaining a partnership with Kin8sCare and collaboratin8 to ensure best value for both or8ani5ations. 2, Kerswella Care alms: These are important and have remained so throughout the pandemlc: To Improve the quallty of life of those In need by provldlng seNices that Include home support, befriending, Carer support, shopping, transport to medical/social actlvities and prescrlption delivery To Increase the accessiblllty to local artivltles that wlll enhance resldents, well- being, social inclusion and social connections. A significant aim is to reduce lonellness wlthln a populatlon that Includes 30% who are over 60 wlth 35% of those Ilvlng alone To help identlfy unmet needs withln the communities and provide support to deliver change 3. How these alms are achleved: Kerswella has access to and has set up a wide range of support servites and activities. all aimed at improving the quality of life of those in need within our community. To this end, Kerswella works hard at encouraglng people In need to take stock of their lives and 201 Page
Kingscare League of Friends Annual Report 2022 Introduce them to the approprSate soclal connectlons to prevent or reduce feellngs of lonellness. We work across local agencies and volunteer groups to access expertlse and help as needed; Kerswella Care Is also able to acces5 the seNices and work alongslde the Newton Abbot Locality Wellbelng Co-ordinators who are employed in that area by Kingscare. 4. Actlvltles and projects: For the first quarter of the year, Kerswella's activities and projects were focussed on allevlating the effects of the Covld pandemlc on our most vulnerable residents through the Kingsker5well Coronavirus Crisis Response team. We continued with many of our support services- shopping, prescrlptlon collection and help with a wide range of mlscellaneous tasks as they arose, Throughout, we also maintained Important contact wlth our Memory Café and Lunch Club groups by means of'check-in & chay, and the fortnightly residents. 'packs'. Durlng the second quarter we were ableto plan forthe restsrt of our main actlvltles. Three new ones were added: support forthe Memory Café in Ipplepen who asked for restart help in a new centre whllst the main community hub In the village underwent important refurblshment. Kingscare has provided professlonal support and Kerswella secured a Lottery8rantto ensure that the restart got off to a good start In the Autumn. This was supplemented by a Devon CC grant to help cover costs Until the end of the year. The Kln8skerswell 'Sharing Care, Group asked Kerswella to take over thelr coffee mornlngs and these now take place twice a rnonth and contlnue to be popular. New volunteers have come forward to help and we have a cake bakerl Uslng volunteers. we run the café in the Kingskerswell playing fields pavilion one day a week. This has become estsblished as an Important and popular local meetlng place. Assoclated with the Memory Cafe restarts we recelved grants from King5kerswell Parish Council, Ipplepen Parish Council and Devon CC for 3 months hlre costs for a Motlon Artivated Interactive system deslgned by Omi. At the year end it had been used In varlous locatlons and will be evaluated In 2022 and a declslon made about its future use. 211Page
Kingscare League of Friends Annual Report 2022 Our Lunch Club continues to be popular and since the restart has attrarted a number of new residents. Some of the restart funding was earmarked for a special lunch at Christmas with entertainment provided by a local ukulele duo. Also at Christmas, Kingskerswell Parish Church nominated Kerswella as the recipient of thelr annual Tree of Hope, fundraiser with funds to be used in 2022 to support trips and vlsSts, Kerswella contlnues to be heavily involved in providing patient tran5POrt for medical appointments to the local surgerles In both Klngskerswell and Ipplepen, to local hospitals in Torquay and Newton Abbot and further afield. We were also able to provide for resident5 needing to attend local vaccine centres or sur8eries to recelve their 3rd Covid jab. At the end of the year the 'Sorting Office, project involving the adaptatlon of the former Post Offlce building in the Market Square In Newton Abbot was still at the development stage. Whllst Kingscare are taking the lead In Its overall progress, Kerswella has been successful throu8h the Co-op Community Fund in securlng some funding to provlde resources when work finally gets underway expected in 2022123. We keep a track of residents that we have supported and ensure that Kerswella Is available to assist those with whom we had no prevlous relationship. Charity Log is Increaslngly helping us with record-keepin8 to facilitate this. We contlnue to keep in touch with our wider community through social media (particularly after our actlvltlesl and regular newsletters. All these actlvltles and projects have informed our learnlng as a group and helped us to consider new ways of reachlng and supporting residents, often drawing on the simllar experience5 of other local voluntary groups. Thls Is now Important as Kerswella moves forward with its development through CIO status. S. Governance: Trnstees - Kingsley Matthews has contlnued In h15 role as the Link Trustee between Kerswella Care and Its Commlttee and Klngscare. The Kingscare Trustees generally meet monthly and It Is the role of the Link Trustee to report on activitles undertaken by Kerswella and seek approval to those where Klngscare has the responsibilitv, particularly In respert of services and activities funded from the BCF Lottery grant. Thls also includes budget settlng and monltoring. 221Page
Kingscare League of Friends Annual Report 2022 Commlttee- The Kerswella Commlttee oversees local operatlons Including fundraislng. There are 10 members Includlng the following officers: Chair- Rachel Fleet, Treasurer- Gillian Wright, Secretary- Kingsley Matthews. All were reappointed in November. Durin8 the year the Committee fflet remotely once and five times in per50n. Annual Accounts 2021122- these were approved by the Ker5wella Committee at their meeting on 17th May 2022 and are attached. The Statement was noted by the Kingscare Trustees at their meeting on 1211 May 2022 and, as In previous years, will be included In their Annual Report and statutory returns. The statements about grant Income make reference to the exclusion of the BCF Lottery fundlng paid to Kingscare as thls forms part of Kingscare's accounts. & Where we go next: With Kerswella well-e5tablished in the community, we need to meet the challenge of our growth as well a5 respond to the communlt¢s needs in the post-pandemic world. It Is anticipated that the Sorting Office project will provide a way of addressing these issues and attract funding and Lottery support. Although Kerswella has grown out of Kin£skerswell, we are becorning established amongst Ipplepen residents. The local GP practice covers Kingskerswell and Ipplepen so we must aim to equalise Kerswella support across the two communities. Wlth Increasing pressures on statutory servlces. Ker5wella will be needed more than ever to support vulnerable and isolated people and their Carers/families. It is Kerswella's buslness to make a difference to these groups and help them fulf51 their potential, with the key objective of supporting those in a caring role to maintain their Indlvlduality.
