## **One to One** ## **Manager’s Report** ## **Tuesday 25[th] January 2022** ## **1. Items for decision** - 1.1 We would welcome a new printer for Sarah’s finance. She uses it extensively and the ink costs a fortune. We need an economical one for her so Josie and I can use the old expensive one for our more limited needs. ## 2. **Manager’s report** 2a. Due to Covid and various other reasons my last report was July 2021. The need for new trustees meant that some meetings were not quorate, this year we will pull out all the stops to recruit. Josie and I are in the process of contacting carers, both professional and private to ask them if they would consider joining us. I will also promote the question through social media. 2b. We have finally completed the process of switching accounts at the bank, they will send us new statements with our CIO number printed on them, this will be accepted by the lottery who will release our grant; it feels to us in the office that new year starts once it is all done and dusted. The Baily Thomas Fund was beneficial in getting us through last year. The whole process has taken up an inordinate amount of time, on one day I was on hold on the phone to Unity Trust for over an hour and a half, I was even cut off at one point. 2c. We had a case of a befriender being concerned that their service user was in danger of being sexually abused. We initiated the first action of our safeguarding procedure which was to contact the social worker assigned to the service user. A meeting was arranged, we were told that they would take the matter up. They got back to us to say that they were satisfied that the service user had the capacity to make their own decisions around their sexual conduct and that there was no danger involved. 2d. In December, Sarah rang to say she was self-isolating due to a positive Covid test and in January Josie was the same. I had all the symptoms over new year and was confined to my bed for 3 days, but my tests were all negative. This was despite having all my jabs and my flu jab. ## **3. Service Users** 1 3.1 New referrals are coming in at a steady pace but to keep up we need more befrienders, so we are increasing our advertising. We seem to be struggling along with the rest of the care sector. ## **4 Finance** 4.1 Cash funds at the end of December 2021. Current account £13,254 Reserve account £15,000 Our grant from the National Lottery Community Fund will be £144,322 over 3 years. I will be looking to raise funds for befriender travel costs so that we can cover the whole of County Durham even when travel costs would normally be prohibitive. ## **Mike Russell Manager/fundraiser** 2 ONE TO ONE Reeeipts attd Payments Aeeoullt for the year to 31st March, 2021 Re¢eipl$ CJRS DCCCOVID-19 Direci Clients Grants Other Income Interest 40.886.73 1,628.53 15,674.88 26.200.00 35.lJ) 30.43 84.455.57 Payments Sthfl'costs Running7 Cosis Miscellaneous 82.363.09 7.023.63 89.386.72 Befriender Petty Cash P4yments Staff Costs Runningcosts Miscellaneous 89.386.72 4,931.15 PY Crediiors 4,931.15 resented B Balanccs at stsrt Surplus l (Deficit) 67.651.36 4931.15 62 720.21 Balances at End Cash Reserve Ac¢ouni Current Ac£ount 0.94 30.541.37 32 177.90 62 720.21 Plus Debiors tRSs Creditors 62,720.21 CHARITY COMMISSION FOR ENGLANO AND WALES Independent examinerfs report on the accounts Section A Independent Examiner s Report Report to th• trust￿ ONE TO ONE On accounts the year 31 2021 Charlty no (If any) 1174859 S•t oirt on pagos I report lo trustees <)n my examination of the accounts of above chaiity {Ihe Tr￿t) for the yoar ended 31103r2021 R•sponsibilitiM and basis of report As the charitys trustees. you are respor6ible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the reqUireM￿ts of the Charities Act 2011 ('the Ad.).
