Kingscare League of Friends Annual Report 2024 Chair's Report It is incredibly humbling to read the myriad report5 from the Kingscare Team which showcase their tremendous work throughout this past year. At 3 time of uncertainty and underfunding within the Voluntary Sector, the Kingscare team have kept their focus on doing what they all do so brilliantly- supporting the people of Newton Abbot in their everyday lives. From new projects, such as the partnership with Stover, to the Memory Cafés and various drop ins.. Walks for Wellbeing and Mental Health and the vital Home from Hospital (to name but a few) - the vibrant programme of activities have been well attended throughout the year. Much of this success is down to the amazing army of Volunteers who give time, experience and themselves to both the Tearn and the clients. Without these wonderful people Kingcare would be in a far different situation-for which we owe them our heartfelt gratitude. Of course, special mention must go to Maggie Bonnell and David Clifford who managed Kingscare to keep it relevant, viable and thriving as it navigated very choppy waters this last year. In April we sa id a fond farewell to David as he left to enjoy a well-earned retirement. This gracious and knowledgeable man will be much missed by the Board, Team and Volunteers. Maggie remains at the centre of operations and has negotiated a challenging year balancing decreasing budgets with the needs and expectations of this beloved service. With her passion and drive, Maggie has kept Kingscare, where is must remain, at the very heart of the local community. Having joined the Board of Trustees in the Autumn of 2023, there wa5 little indication that later events would lead to several longstanding.members deciding to Step away which resulted in those rernaining taking the helm and gradually steering the Charity and Board to a more comfortable position. This would not have been possible without the quiet diligence and incredible dedication of Rupert Holliday (Treasurer) and Dave Rollason ISecretary/Vice Chairl. Thanks also to Kingsley Matthews and Nick Biggs for their support and guidance and to those members who gave service, many over long years to Kingscare-we thank you very much. It 15 a privilege to be a small part of the extraordinary organisation and as Interim Chair I have much appreciated the personal and professional support of fellow Trustees and Managers of Kingscare. Thank you all. Nicola Barker Interlm Chair

Kingscare League of Friends Annual Report 2024 Manager's Report The year 2023-24 was a very different yearto its predecessor. By the start of 2024 we had lost several staff members and trustees and started a process of adjustment which, due to uncertainties around future funding and the role of the Voluntary Sector in general (not just Kingscarel in the changing world of primary care and the pressure on NHS budgets, will take time to settle. Grant funding is tighter than ever due to the impact of the C05t of Living crisis and, as we are fortunate in havin8 built up some reserves, more difficult for us to justify the allocation of grant money to us when there are many similar groups keen to run equally valuable projects which have little or no reserves at all. Challenging times. It was not all doom and gloom, however, as there was one large grant that we were awarded and that was from the National Lottery. It enabled us to do a great deal of work around helping clients to come through the Cost of Living crisis by providing benefit5 advice. running a weekly Warm Hub throu8hout the winter and being able to give much needed advice on a wide range of issues. This was a substantial grant and Sarah Lakey's Ereatest achievement during her tenure as our Fundraising Manager. As you read through the various reports that follow, you will see how hard my amazing staff and volunteers have worked and what an impressive impact their work has had on the vulnerable and socially isolated people we exist to 5UPPOrt. There are 7 Appendices, one for each of our main services which give a visual report on those areas written about in detail below. During the year we fulfilled a long held ambition and gradually printed a range of leaflets to cover basic information on the services that we provide. This was only made possible by a tremendous amount of work by.the talented Peter Stevens who did it all as a volunteer. Each one needed much consultation with the staff who head up the various services and the final one, concerning Glfts and Legacies, was put together through a team lead by Jackie Bennett. We were greatly saddened when both resigned their roles as trustees though, fortunately, Peter is still available to help us with future projects requiring a degree of graphic design. Most annoyingly we were required to change our telephone number in January when the surgery went over to a digital phone systern 50 we need to change the number on every leaflet before handin8 them outl There were far too many printed tojustify reprinting with the new number. We organise a variety of activities in Kingsteignton, some weekly, some monthly. The numbers attending the two monthly get togethers, Lunch Club and Tea & Chat. grew throughout the year. The Mondaywalking group, led by volunteer, Graham Warren, continued to attract those who love a short walk but couldn't manage the longer

Kingscare League of Friends Annual Report 2024 ones organised by the Wellbeing team. Tai chi and the Kingscare Chorus continued to thrive and grow. The King's Coronation Eave us an excellent excuse to have a tea party to celebrate the occasion and thank our wonderful volunteers. Sarah Lakey worked exceedingly hard to put on a super cream tea in the marquee that Kingsteignton Town Council had erected for their celebrations. Kingsteignton Ram Fair was a150 very supportive again this year and it was a great pleasure to join with the many local groups who are invited each year to the AGM to share the profits from this popular spring event. In June some of the Kinsteignton Medical Practice Staff put themselves through a hot and gruelling walk down the Templar Way and raised £100 for Kingscare. In July the Classic Car Show took place on Oakford Lawn. organised by Jamie Theobald who chose Kingscare to be the charityto support on the day. In August, Kingsteignton Athletic Football Club organised their annual RamsFest and chose #doitfordeaks as one of the local charities to support at the event. In December, the Beavers invited some of our clients to collect Christmas hampers whilst enjoying a cup of tea and listening to the children Singing carols. Yet again. the support of the people of Kingsteignton for their patient support group has been outstanding. Maggie Bonnell Manager

Kingscare League of Friends Annual Report 2024 Newton Abbot Report We were consistently able to run three weekly groups Imondays, Tuesdays and Thursdays) throughout the year. This was only possible because of the dedication and commitment of our amazing team of volunteers and. of course, our patrons who supported us, often braving the elements to do so. These groups were all characterised by their friendliness and welcoming nature. As they are all 'drop in, groups, we never know who may come along and it was lovely to see new comers welcomed and quickly integrated into the activities on offer. Monday Exercise Group David Jenkin once again ran this group on behalf of Kingscare. Each session was tailored to the need5 of the participating individuals involving both sitting and standing movements helping to build strength and flexibility. Drop in Games and TableTennis- Monday and Thursday Often our busiest grou ps, especially Monday's sessions, possibly due to the preceding weekend often being seen as a time of loneliness. The usual garnes were provided, often two groups of Scrabblers present, a large group playing dominoes las many as 8 players in a single game), a group playing Rummy Cub and of course the table tennis players, (growing in number) and often playing doubles with much merriment and a jovial competitive edgel Craft and Games-Tuesdays A group for companionship, craft and chat. Participants enjoyed playing games and crafting in equal measures, thi5 group was ideal over the year for those seeking a calmer ambiance than that available on other mornings. Several regulars with sensory issues found this group a safe haven to relax and enjoy their crafting.

Kingscare League of Friends Annual Report 2024 Mental Health We had an exciting start to the year with a fundraising 'Fire Walk, event which was kindly hosted by the Rotary Club of Newton Abbot. Eight of us pushed through our nerves and walked over hot coals to raise money for #doitfordeaks . What an empowering night and lots of funl A hu8e thank you to Yola Hodge, James Ewing, Anna Haridi, Christa Edgella, Nestor Fergusson, Luke Bates and Darrin Hewings for all your effort!

DoltForDeaks

In the summer months #doitfordeaks decided to support a national suicide prevention initiative by organising our own 'Baton of Hope, walk. We walked from Kingsteignton to Newton Abbot and joined a Mental Health fayre at the Courtenay Centre, giving out cards and raising awareness along the way. We are also extremely grateful for the community support we have had this year to enable this service to keep running. Our local Kingsteignton Co-op chose our Mental Health Service for their Community Matters project, and once again Kingsteignton Athletic Football Club helped raise money through their Ram5Fest summer event. Kingsteignton's Mayor, Councillor Ron Peart, chose this service to be the beneficiary of his Mayor's charity for the second year running. THANK YOU ALLI We have continued to be busy one-to-one mental health support to those in our community, mostly struggling with issues of anxietyi depression and stress caused by life events. The need for this support continues to b'e high and we try hard to provide a service that helps people get back on their feet when life feels overwhelmin8. Our little communlty garden thrived this year and we have a lovely small group of regulars who meet each '* Wednesday and spend time nattering and putting the world to rights. A standard session involves lots of pottering around and asking questions such as 'how did this courgette get so big in a weekPI' We had tomatoes coming out of our ears, and any surplus veg was promptly delivered to one of our community larders. A huge thank you must go again to Darrin Hewings and his colleagues at Sibelco. They have continued to volunteer their time and labour to turn this allotment into a usable space. We are also •1

Kingscare League of Friends Annual Report 2024 extremely Erateful to Father Mark Smith and the Kingsteignton Feoffees who continue to be pleased to see us on this little bit of their land. Another exciting project has seen us move group5 UP to Stover Country Park, We now have a contract with Stover which has enabled us to run regular HOPE courses and Anxiety Cafés in a private outdoor space. This has enhanced these courses greatly. Many people who attend do not leave the house often and are isolated due to anxiety and depression. Not only do they benefit from the group, but also from spending time in nature which is therapeutic in itself. Feedback ha5 been really positive and we look forward to being able to continue this work, rain or shinel We have also gained a fantastic volunteer. Kyle Wright who now co-facilitates the Anxiety Cafe with me. Kyle stsrted by attending the Anxiety Café and receiving one-to-one support, and has now reached a point where he is able to give back to others, really understanding what they are going through. We continue to support and offer advice and guidance to Mental Health Carers through our monthly peer support group. Thi5 is a small but welcoming group of people who understand how difficult caring for a loved one can be. And finally, it was a very sad end to the year when our Mental Health Worker, Maggie Cleverley, left us to retire. She will be greatly missed and we wish her the very best in her next chapter in life, wherever that take5 herl We would a150 like to say a heartfelt thank you to Ashley Lamb, who has volunteered many hours of her time as a Human Givens Therapist to those in need in our community. Ashley also very kindly organised a brilliant team day for Kingscare where we had the opportunity to spend the day at Buckfast Abbey learning all about bees. We all t'horoughly enjoyed it and felt very relaxed on our return. A great way to relax and focus on our own wellbeing for the day! She is currentlytaking a break to work on setting up her own private practice, and we wish her the best of luck and hiEhly recommend her!

HOPE, the Wellbeing Programrne and has now become a volunteer at Klngscare The Wellbeing Team has continued to provide an excellent and varied service to the local community. We have received approximately 350 referrals and continue to work face-to-face with people both at home and out in the community. We sadly had to say goodbye to Sue Chapman at Christm35 but welcomed a new member of staff to our team, Donald Maclnnes, who works closely with Trish Taylor making a very experienced wellbeing team. We continue to attend the CVS Wellbeing Meeting. Thi5 enables us to connect with the other wellbeing teams in the area and to discuss successes and challenges. The main topic for discussion has been funding for the programme and we hope to know more by October 2024. We have continued to promote and distribute our wellbeing leafiets and posters and participated in a Wellbein8 Day at Newton Abbot Library. This enabled up to meet with other services, networkingi signposting and meeting member5 of the 8eneral public. li

Kingscare League of Friends Annual Report 2024 We have also had numerous referrals for befriending and for benefits highlighting the increased need from people feeling isolated, lonely and wanting one-to-one support and help with the cost of living crisis and managing their finances. We have noticed how much the cost of living has affected many of our clients and have applied for help by applying to the 'Cost of Living Grant, to help with: l. Providing food vouchers to help with supporting a family whose husband was receiving chemotherapy and struggling to afford their rent 2. A lady who fell and broke her back who needed a new mattress 3. Applied for many food vouchers including Tesco and Asda Wellbeing Case Study by Trish Taylor- Wellbeing Co-ordinator My initial phone conversation with JT started with him stating that they did not need any support at the moment, but I could visit them if I wanted. On my first visit I ascertained that their neighbour was still willing and able to continue with their weekly shop. We discussed social isolation, but they both explained that they had some wonderful friends and neighbours and did not feel that isolation was an issue for them. Through discussion l a150 ascertained that JT was not in receipt of any benefi-ts and he agreed to me applying forAA on his behalf. This would be useful to help pay for their cleaner and any other support they might require in the future. AA was awarded at the higher rate. During my subsequent visits it became apparent that they were both finding things more difficult due to their very poor mobility. JT had had a couple of falls and admissions to hospital, so I therefore suggested that they think about having personal alarms. These were then ordered and sent through the post and I set about connecting the alarm system to their landline. We discussed perhaps having some handrails etc around the home and they agreed to me requesting an OT assessment. This was done and they now have handrails around the home, ramps and a new shower room fitted. The next request that they had was to purchase a new phone system for them as they had one old phone that sat at the bottom of the stair5 which meant that one of them had to get from their lounge chair to the phone to answer a call. This was proving to be more and more difficult and by the time they got there, quite often, the caller would have hung up. I purchased a new 4 way BT phone system, installed it for them and connected their personal alarm system to it. A phone was fitted next to both lounge chairs, in the bedroom and one in the kitchen. On one visit it became clear that JT was struggling with his meds as he had boxes scattered around the table and on the floor. l asked if he needed help with his meds and he agreed that he did. I contacted the community pharmacy team and 12

We have 15 regular walkers and have recently trained 2 new walk leaders to assist We have completed approximately 50 walks this year visiting the local area including: Stover Country Park, Decoy Country Park, Hackney Marshes and Teigngrace. We now have a waiting Ilst of walkers who would like to join us, We are lucky enough to have two experienced volunteers who have made the walks so inclusive and welcominE to others. In June last yearwe attended Walk LeaderTraining at Forde House- this was a refresher training course for Kingscare staff. Two of us, with a volunteer walk leader, attended a Spring time walk leader lunch at Forde House, Newton Abbot. We were asked to talk about the unique situation we provide accepting referrals from GP surgeries and helping people to access the Wellbeing Walks. We have seen positive success with many individuals from our walking 8roup including individuals having the confidence to return back to work, making healthy friendshlp Eroups, signing up as volunteers with Kingscare and returning after heart surgery to regain hi5 fitness. he walk has helped me realise the importance of gratitude.

We have received approximately 250 referrals from Torbay Hospital, Newton Abbot Hospltal, and from patien￿ family Member5 and friends. We continue to work frdce-to-face with people both at home and within the community to support them with various needs to allow them to settle back in at home. This also takes pressure off the hospitals needing support with getting patients discharged with things that they cannot do themselves. We continue to attend weekly Multiple Disciplinary Team meetings at Newton Abbot Hospital and have met with variou5 patients on the wards to discuss how we can support them. The requirements of the referrals have been varied'and the impact of the Cost of Living crisis has been noticed with the referrals becoming more complicated, often including support with managing finances and gaining grants. Numerous applications have been made to the Household Support Fund administered by Teignbridge CVS to help with: Providing food vouchers to help with supporting numerous people who have lost their source of income and could not afford food Payin8 for a taxi for a lady who needed to have weekly appointments at the hospital for physiotherapy and had no means of getting there Applying for several food vouchers forTesco, Sainsburys and ASDA 15

Kingscare League of Friends Annual Report 2024 Home from Hospital Case Study I was asked to talk to a patient on the ward who had had a stroke leaving her unable to return to work. As she had been in hospital for several months to be rehabilitated, this meant that her rent and several bills had not been paid causing her to be in arrears. Due to her losing her income, she would not be able to pay off these arrears nor afford her bills. This stress caused her to feel very low in mood and anxious. I met with D on the ward, and we had a long chat about her situation. I discussed with her about the different benefits which she may have been entitled to and we used a benefit calculator. This carne back with several benefits. 50 l assisted D in applying for these. We discussed a referral to Step Change who could help her to set up payment plan5 to start paying off the arrears and to talk with the services on her behalf, so she did not have this stress on top of her change in circumstances. I met with D weekly, and we had a catch up to see how she was. It was very warming seeing her progress over the months. D discussed needing to carry on returning to the h05Pltal weekly when she 15 discharged for physiotherapy. However, due to her change in mobility, D would not be able to use public transport and could not afford a taxi. Intervention: Referred to Step Change for support with arrears Applied for vouchers to fund weekly taxis so she could attend physiotherapy weekly Applied for vouchers to pay for food shopping and toiletries D got enhanced rate PIP, ESA, and is having support with her housing costs until she can work again Quotes fmm Home from Hospltal clients D.S: "I would like to tell you the story of how King5CGre have helped me immenselyfor which I will be eternolly groteful.

It Ct7used me to be disobled completely down the left-hond side, I went to Newton Abbot Hospital in March 2024. Ifound the idea of going home very daunting, but Kingcare came to the rescue. I had no moneyforfood or anything os I could not work. Kingscare very kindly organisedsomefood parcels, shopping vouchers, and theyfunded my taxis so I could get the treotment I need. They olso helped me to get on top of my debt. I cannot thank them enough, the stress of 16

L.O-P: "Thonk you so muchfor all your understonding and kindness, no words con express my oppreciationfor taking me to my appointment todoy as well as your support." Welfare Benefits Service The Welfare Benefits service has been increasingly busy this year with frequent referrals from our Home from Hospital service, self-referrals, organisations such as housing, and through family mernbers or friends. This home-based service has continued to thrive due to the hard work and kindness of our dedicated benefits volunteers, who have supported with around 288 referrals in total with one volunteer spending around 100 hours on PIP application5 alonel Welfare Benefits Service Case Study Overthe year we have seen many succe5se5, Wlth people now accessing the benefits to which they were unaware that they were entitled. This service has also helped change the lives of many people as the volunteers give people confidence. For example, one client who was referred to U5 was unable to work: he needed support when attending appointments and rarely went out. Due to the hard work and dedication of one volunteer who ha5 worked one-to-one with this gentleman for several years. he now attends appointments on his own, has started his own business, attends regular groups where his talents shine, and has even travelled several hundred miles on his own to pick up his own car. Seeing the difference from the start to now is incredible. Quotes from our Welfare Benefits Clients J.H: "I cannot thonk you enoughfor your kindness. Because of your help l um now able to afford to have my cleaner help me twice a week, It is nice to know that I have Some money nowfor emergencies, Thonk you." J.C: -1 have been awarded my Blue Bodgel Now I con park closer to the shops which will make shopping much eosier Thonk you." T.D.' "Hi Shonnon, just to Say thank youfor the informotion. You ore extremely kind and it is much oppreciated." The end of 2023 saw the need for sUPPOrt rise as people needed a55iStance with their increasing energy bills. This increase saw a lot of people struggling to afford other essentials such as food and toiletries. To try and support people with the cost of their heatin8 we applied for funding to run a warm space from October 2023. right 17

Kingscare League of Friends Annual Report 2024 through to Spring 2024. We were kindly allowed to use a room in Kingsteignton Town Hall. This was a weekly warm space where people could attend for free and have a hot drink and socialise with others. Those who attended participated in a range of activities ranging from singing to card games and bo3rd games. They also enjoyed the various cakes and treats. There was always a member of staff present each week to provide information on energy or benefits if needed. I had recently gained a Level 3 Award in Energy Awareness by National Energy Action following an on-line course which focussed on a range of issues around understanding energy bills. damp and heating problems, even how to set a central heating tirner. We ran a total of 24 Warm Hubs in this time and supported around 150 people. We hope to continue running a warm space where funding allows. We have continued to promote and distribute our leaflets and have participated in 2 Cost of Living events organised byTeignbridge CVS. This has enabled us to meet network with other services, to signpost and meet members of the public. Shannon Didlick Home from Hospital and Welfare Benefit5 Lead See Appendix 4 Sarah Lakey We took Sarah on in 2022 to raise funds for the Sorting Office. When we had to shelve the project due to the current economic climate, we were able to redeploy her to raise fijnds for other projects. And she did an excellent job. She talked to primary schools about Dementia and they held non uniform days which have raised funds for our Dementia work. She has also raised funds from the National Grid, the Elm Grant Trust, SWW, Newton Abbot Town Council, Newton Abbot Hospital League of Friends, Exeter Chiefs, ASDA, Sport England, the Veronica Awdry Charitable Trust, the Benefact Group and more. Some of these funds were quite substantial, others smaller but all of them are helping us to maintain current projects and to plan new initiatives. Once the Sorting Office project folded we needed to redeploy her for some of the time for which she was employed. For a long time the Health & Social Care managers based at Sherborne House had been asking for a Voluntary Sector representative to be based there for 20 hours a week to facilitate referrals between u5 all. Sue Wroe, Chief Executive at Teignbridge CVS found some funding and Sarah took up the role. Unfortunately she enjoyed working at Sherborne House so much that She applied for a job there as a Social Care Assessor and left usl 18

Kingscare League of Friends Annual Report 2024 Sherborne House Unfortunately the funding for the project was only for 12months but, during that time, much was achieved; a strong relationship was built up between the Voluntary Sector and the Newton Abbot Health and Social Care Team with an average of 16 referrals being rnade each month. The VCSE Connector role 15 not just about Kingscare. Referrals are also made to Volunteering in Health in Teignmouth, Totnes Carin& the Moorland Community Care group and others. Sarah left us at Christmas and there was time left to bring someone else in to continue her work at Sherborne House, so we employed Tara Hales in this role. "I started the role in March 2024, initially shadowing colleagues at Kingscare, then moving to Sherborne House to work alongside the Adult Social Care Team and NHS teams based there. There has been a lot of training involved with the Devon County Council mandatory Systems, including Carefirst, their main client information system.

I've attendod meetings both in person and via Teams to build and strengthen working relationships..

Referrals of people living with dementia and dementia Carers have remained steady and we continue to offer one to one wellbeing interventions and Signposting for these clients. A range of group-based interventions run by the service remain popular with many seeing an increase in attendance. The four Memory Cafes facilitated by Kingscare continue to thrive, with the most recently established, Kingsteignton Memory Café going from strength to strength. The Kingsteignton Cafe was set up in November 2022 in response to the Newton Abbot Café becoming oversubscribed. Both Cafés now have between 15 and 20 people attendin8 each month. This has meant that the Memory Cafés are being offered to a wider range of people in Newton Abbot, whilst maintaining the intimacy of the Memory Café experience. Over the year the various Memory Cafés have offered a range of activities ranging from pancake tossing to card rnaking. They have also enjoyed, amongst other activities, visits from singers, musicians, outside speaker5 and a therapy dog. The Memory Cafés continue to enjoy the support of a large and dedicated pool of volunteers, and we currently are in the enviable position of having a waiting list of volunteers who would like to offertheir support. "The only woy I can describe it is - Ifelt like there was this sinkhole and I could be doing whatever ond thi5 sinkhole would oppeor. Ifelt that I couldnt toke another step forfear offolling into it.

You ore like o breath offresh air 20

P* ,1 wonted to write to you to let you know how much my Mum enjoys coming to the Memory Cofe, she loves hearing St Michael's School choir sing ond the other musical entertoinment where She gets up and doncesl It 15 one of the few chances she gets to socialise. We olso thoroughly enjoy the discussions as well os the teu and cakes. Many thonks to you and oll the volunteersfor your warm welcome, help Jndsupport. K.T.- Regarding support and training for our Café volunteers, we continue to offer regular formal meet-ups over the year at which Café planning and training is undertaken and these sessions have been well received. Dementia Carers can, once each month. attend a support group and bring along the person they care for who can join an activity session in a separate room. This allows Carers the chance to access training provided by Devon Carers, or to have the freedom to discuss their concerns with valuable face-to-face peer support. Following a referral, Carers are offered a one-to-one vislt in their homes where they are offered support, advice and information around issues including, Power of Attorney, Attendance Allowance, Council Tax reduction. the Herbert Protocol, local dementia centres, pendant alarms, the Independent Living Centre and guidance bout how to join Devon Carers. In December, 26 Carers along with the person they care for enjoyed a delicious Christmas lunch at a local Golf Club. Following the meal, this quote was received from a Carer who has been looking after her husband since his diagnosis over five years ago, 'It is lovely to join a group of people who understand what I'm Boing through. We wouldn't have gone out anywhere like this together, so thank you for inviting us,. Carers looking after someone with dementia can find it difficult to engage in pastimes where they feel the person they care for may be judged. Kingscare activitie5, such a5 the games mornings and the Wellbeing Walks are ideal as they are inclusive, no matter what people's abilities are. 21

Kingscare League of Friends Annual Report 2024 Case study When lfirst Vlslted E he was very isolated and unsure where to turnfor help. We discussed ond identified what the most importcnt issues werefor him ond started to work through these concerns ot his poce. He told me that getting out to put money onto his gos and electric cords during the coldfrosty days of winter concerned him os he worried about slipping andfalling on ice. l arrangedfor him to set up direct debit5 Wlth both of hi5 Provider5. This means he can now budget hi5 bi115 throughout the year without the worry of hoving to poy out more money during the colder months. To help improve his mental wellbeing E now goes on the weekly Kingscare bus trips and gets picked up in our minibus to ottend both the monthly lunch club and tea & chat. E sometimes struggled to heor what people were saying to him. so I booked on oppointmentfor him to see his GP who referred him for a hearing test, resulting in him gethng hearing olds. Thi5 ha5 greatly improved his quality of life 05 hefeels he isn t missing out during conversations We discussed him hoving a personal alarm as he h(7d stumbled ot home and was concerned thot if he had G badfall, he wouldn't be able to roise on alarm. l arranged for this to be delivered ondset it upfor him on his mobile phone. I contorted the Teign Housing OT to orrongefor them to visit to assess whatAids were needed. They supplied andfitted hondroils both inside and outside the backdoor os well osfittfng o lower showerstool. Shopping, preparing und cooking meols were becoming an issuefor Eso we tolked through different suppller5 of re(Jdy/frozen meols. He now hos a delivery everyfortnight of a voried selection of frozen meols that he con heat in hi5 microwave oven. Jackie Milan Kingscare has further hosted two meetings of the southern region of the Devon Memory Café Consortium at which coordinators and volunteers from local Cafés have networked. provided mutual support and shared practice ideas.

Kingscare League of Friends Annual Report 2024 The Walking Group for people living with dementia continue5 to be popular. From the beginning of this year the group has visited Stover Country Park each month in addition to a rnonthly Kingsteignton walk. Participants have reported enjoying the Stover environment and the opportunities this offer5 in connecting to wildlife, particularly in the Spring and Summer months. David Garland- Dementia Activities Coordinator Jackle Mllan- Dementia Carers Support Worker See Appendix 2 Transport Much as we loved the old London taxi we bought to help us through the pandemic, it was a bit'gimmicky, and more difficult for our passengers to get in and out of than we thought. We did, however, need another wheelchair accessible vehicle so we sold the taxi and Sarah set about ra15ing funds to replace it. We decided on a Ford Connect and found a second hand one that had been bought by A8eUk in Cornwall but barely used. Among the funders were the Exeter Chiefs and Newton Abbot Hospital League of Friends and we took delivery in June. The transport se￿iCe was very busy throughout the year as the NHS tried to catch up with the backlog of patients needing treatment following the pandemic. Unfortunately we became quite down on volunteers and it became very difficult to provide enough drivers to meet the demand. Andy Gould joined us as Out Transport Coordinator in 2021 and was a much valued member of our team. Sadly he decided to leave us in December 2023. lan Whyte, whom Andy originally replaced, agreed to return to the role on a short term basis for which we are extremely grateful. It is a very demanding role with requests for transport or alterations to transport requests coming in constantly. It is, however, a very important part of our work as NHS-provided hospital transport is now very difficult to arrange and taxis are beyond the budget of many of our patients. A huge debt of gratitude goes to Andy for keeping the service afloat and to lan for stepping into the breach at short notice. Maggie Bonnell Manager See Appendix 7

Kingscare League of Friends Annual Report 2024 Bus trips It has been good to See the two minibuses being used on a regular basis throughout the year to transport people to activities such as swimming, HOPE courses, walking groups to various locations to walk. and to our monthly Lunch Club and Tea and Chat afternoons. In addition, every Wednesday, throughout the year, we have taken approximately 18 people out in two minibuses to various locations. We have visited the Moors. seaside towns, market towns such as Tavistock, the theatre and garden centres, all of which prove very popular. The most popular being a short drive, followed by lunch in a local pub or cafel A huge thank you must go to the 2 Drivers and 2 Couriers who give up theirtime each week. Without these 4 wonderful volunteers, these trips would not be possible. We have also facilitated Friday afternoon trips out for some of the residents of Ilford Park, the Polish Home in Liverton. Currently unable to sustain their own minibus, ours has been an absolute lifeline to the residents, many of whom are elderly and disabled and love the opportunity our minibus gives them to get out and about for the afternoon. We have 2 regular volunteer drivers for these trips to whom we are very grateful. Thankyou toyou alll Befriending A befriending service 15 always top of the list of many of the referrals we receive. Unfortunately we have great difficulty in recruiting enough volunteers to take up the role of befriender. For various reasons most of those we do have retired over the year leaving us unable to offer this as a face-to-face service to new referrals for the time being. Instead we have volunteers, including myself, who have been ringing people throughout the year on a weekly basis for a chat. We have plans to try to revive it through a recruitment drive and a slightly different approach but have neither the time nor the funding to develop them at present. We would welcome any new volunteers who would like to become a befriender, a service so hugely valued by our clients. Marllyn Brooks Befriending and Minibus Co•ordinator

Kingscare League of Friends Annual Report 2024 The Hub Our amazing volunteers have worked very hard all year running our charity shop. The market for second hand clothes in parkncular is poor and the businesses that collect items that have not been sold in charity shops acr05S the country are struggling to survive, It 15 all a real worry as we hate sending perfectly serviceable items to landfill. Our rnost popular items are books and jigsaws which have maintained the interest of many who started doing them regularly during the pandemic. We are, however, delighted to see that the overall protht from the Hub has increased by 22% over the previous year. A great tribute to our dedicated team of volunteers. Swimming We were able, yet again, to use the open alr pool at Kingsteignton for a weekly supported swimming session from June to September. Although the number5 attending are low and very dependent on the weather, it is a much appreciated by those who do attend. Creative Writing Group Under the leadership of Sarah Hopkins, this wonderful group produced a second volume of work from their weekly JfiNG8CARE sessions. As I said in my introduction to the publication- "I popped into this wonderful group one evening to ask tbe attendees fortheir thoughts on the sessions. No one hesitated as they told me how much the group means to them and what they got out of it. I think it was summed up in one person's words. "Meeting regularly with people of like minds is good and stimulating." No wonder they all bubble with enthusiasm. Maggle Bonnell Manager
