Annual Report April 2020 – March 2021

One day a man was walking along the beach when he noticed a boy picking up and gently throwing things into the ocean. Approaching the boy, he asked: "What are you doing?" The boy replied, “Throwing starfish back into the ocean. The surf is up, and the tide is going out. If I don't throw them back, they'll die”. The man laughed to himself and said, " Do you realise there are miles of miles of beach and hundreds of starfish? You can't make any difference”. After listening politely, the boy bent down, picked up another starfish and threw it into the surf, then smiling at the man, he said; "I made a difference to that one".

What we do:

3

lockdown they received regular phone calls, a monthly letter, quizzes and other activities.

As we finished the last financial year (2019 - 2020) the country was plunged into lockdown as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic. The services we were able to provide changed dramatically, volunteers could no longer provide face to face support and our activities such as Songs and Scones and Farmers Breakfast were shut down. However, RCS did not stay inactive for long: we adapted to the new restrictions and the following services evolved throughout the year:

4

had been furloughed under the new government guidelines. This new cohort of volunteers all held a current DBS (from their day jobs) and could with additional references be quickly assimilated and trained in our procedures to deliver shopping and collect prescriptions for those shielding and self- isolating. Within 2 weeks of lockdown the CSO was up and running and delivering a vital service to the people of Ryedale. I would like to thank my colleagues at Scarborough & Ryedale Carers Resource for the great partnership work that enabled the CSO to be created quickly and seamlessly and for the laughter and tears we shared along the way!

RCS staff stepped up to the challenge of the pandemic and worked additional hours to enable support to be offered Monday – Friday from 9am – 5pm. This level of activity continued until July 2020 when the first lockdown was eased but picked up again in November 2020 through into 2021.

RCS also managed on behalf of North Yorkshire County Council a Food Emergency Fund for those who needed urgent shopping but had no way to access their bank accounts to get the cash to pay their bills.

As the pandemic developed RCS realised that a return to large group activities was unlikely so we started to look at other ways of connecting with our new and existing clients. Jacquie Cole was employed in November 2020, initially on a six -month contract, to work with existing staff to develop our online presence and look at how we keep connected with our volunteers and clients.

Funding:

We are very grateful to the following foundations, trusts, organisations and individuals for supporting us:

5

Support is delivering the NYCC sitting service contract for Scarborough, Whitby and Ryedale for 2018 – 2023

This year the charity was unable to hold any fundraising events.

Our Volunteers

Ryedale Carers’ volunteers are the backbone of all that we do: we could not be the organisation we are without the hard work of all our volunteers and we are very grateful for the time they give us.

Post Covid Recovery work:

Carers Support Group

The support group has continued to keep in touch by a monthly Zoom call and by letter. There are 19 members of the group.

The Walking Group

The walking group continued to meet during lockdown, often on a 1:1 basis, walking from the client’s home so no transport was needed. As lockdown eased the groups got a bit bigger but never more than 6 (3 clients and 3 volunteers)

The walking group has been a huge success for both the client, the volunteer and the family carer.

My Neighbourhood

Telephone Befriending - this became a lifeline to many of the people we supported, a friendly voice who had time to chat and discuss current affairs, the state of the garden or just listen to the worries and anxieties brought on by months of lockdown

Ryedale Virtual Country Show - in June when the Country Shows are

normally in full swing around Ryedale, we decided to hold our very own virtual country show to replace the ones that had been cancelled, with different classes each month. We had a good response and at the end produced a booklet of all the entries. If you would like to see the booklet please click on the link below or visit our website and click on the virtual show icon (top right of the home page) http://www.ryedalecarers.org.uk/assets/RCS%20Virtual%20Country

%20Show.pdf Yhttp://www.ryedalecarers.org.uk/assets/RCS

%20Virtual%20Country%20Show.pRCS Quilting Project – Twenty talented and creative Quilters have been very busy, creating a total of 36 squares. Each square is a personal story of what 2020 meant for them.

6

Every square is unique, with lots of different quilting techniques being used, from patchwork to applique, felting to embroidery. There’s just so much to see and enjoy.

Our amazing volunteer Pat has completed the huge task of sewing the squares together to create a wall hanging. Due to the large number of squares we decided to create two wall hangings. These will be displayed around Ryedale to promote and celebrate the work we do.

– Online Singalong our clients were missing our monthly Songs and Scones so in March 2021, with

the help of North Yorks Adult Learning, RCS arranged for Martyn Cresswell to sing and play on Zoom for those who were able to join us. It proved to be so popular that it has become a monthly event with a variety of different singers and performers each month.

Virtual Walks – Volunteer Rangers Jim Hall and Davy Major from North York Moors National Park lead monthly virtual walks for 2 groups, enabling nearly 20 people who cannot get out to enjoy the countryside and a chat. Quotes: “We could imagine being there” and ‘I liked having a bit of company”.

IT Buddies – RCS has worked closely with Citizens Online: Carol Stevens is our Digital Champion and together with the rest of the staff, RCS has successfully recruited 4 volunteers to be IT buddies. The volunteers and staff have been very successful in getting people on to Zoom and connected to our online activities. A quote from a client “I was so proud of myself that I did it on Zoom”.

Home Library Service – working in partnership with NYCC Libraries, we’ve been letting people know about their free home library delivery service of books and DVDs for anyone who can’t get to the library.

Newsletter for volunteers - To keep our volunteers involved and informed about everything that we had been doing during lockdown, we

7

produced and sent out a ‘Keeping Connected’ newsletter at the end of March 2021. We soon realised that we would need 4 pages to share it all! Well-received, the newsletter will continue on a quarterly basis as an informal and attractive way to share, celebrate and communicate with our valued volunteers. It is also a useful way to promote what we do with partner organisations and funders.

My Neighbourhood is about connecting communities and providing support to people who may be isolated, lonely or need a bit of extra help. My Neighbourhood with the help of our volunteers aims to:

Throughout 2020/21 Ryedale Carers Support has worked closely with Scarborough and Ryedale Carers Resource to enable this to happen.

Community Development in Northern Ryedale and Whitby District

Throughout lockdown, Isabelle, our Activities Coordinator in northern Ryedale and Whitby District has been in regular contact with all the members of Lythe Farmers Breakfast and the ladies in Hinderwell and Ugthorpe. As well as phone calls clients have been getting quizzes and a monthly letter about ‘life on a moors farm’. Isabelle has shared the antics of Marcus the Dexter bull, sheep stuck in snowdrifts in early January and the arrival of the curlews in April, heralding spring. The monthly letter and quizzes were also shared with Ryedale Farmers Breakfast regulars. Isabelle provided regular welfare calls and arranged telephone befrienders for those that needed one.

Thanks to local donations of DVDs and a willing volunteer, Isabelle was able to set up a small film club in Hinderwell. During lockdown a group of friends shared films and discussed them over the phone.

Cofee and IT: as a result of the enforced changes to how we work and interact with our clients, the connectivity divide between those who can go online and those who cannot has become even more stark. Not just with those who have the internet and those that don’t, but also those that won’t. This last group have been left behind during lockdown as so much information is now available online. Isabelle applied to NYCC Stronger Communities Inspire Grant and was successful in obtaining funding to purchase 6 tablets and accompanying software. The tablets were loaded with suitable programmes and treated like the old school slate boards and shared with clients in a café over a cup of tea. They could learn to browse the internet for information about their local area, the history and what’s on - there is so much out there.

The aim of ‘coffee and IT’ is to:

8

The Book Club

A volunteer delivers the book to 5 fellow bookworms and after 4 -6 weeks she rings them to hear their views on the book. This started as a project in the first lock down and will continue. The members of the book club are now meeting socially.

At the end of March 2021, the country was still in lockdown but the staff were in the office as well as working from home. This arrangement of blended work will continue. Our online activities have been a great success and will continue as they have become part of our post-Covid recovery. One carer said, ‘It’s nice to do something without worrying about finding a sitter for my husband’ while another commented, ‘It is so hard to get out of the house now, my arthritis is so bad. Having an activity brought to me makes all the difference. I feel part of something again’.

The road map out of lockdown enabled us to begin to plan our post-Covid recovery and some unrestricted funds from 2020/21 have been allocated to provide for this.

Objectives and activities

Summary of the objects of the charity set out in its governing document

To enable carers to maintain their independence

To enable carers to continue their caring role

To increase the confidence and motivation of carers and the cared for

To enhance the wellbeing of carers and the cared for

To enable carers and those they care for to socialise together

To enable the older person to re-engage with their community

To inform and sign post to other organisations

Mission Statement

To provide practical and emotional support for adult carers, the people they care for and individuals who live alone in the community.

Summary of the main activities undertaken for the public benefit in relation to these objects

Carers Sitting Service - volunteers sit with the person being cared for to give the carer a break

My Neighbourhood -befriending and activities to reduce loneliness and social isolation

Carers Support Groups - we organise a monthly meeting to offer carers the opportunity to share concerns, receive support and simply take time out to relax

Songs and Scones - is a monthly event for older people to come together to participate in a performance by Live Music Now and other musicians, followed by conversation, tea and cake. During lockdown they received regular phone calls, a monthly letter, quizzes and other activities.

Farmers Breakfast - Farmers and others living in rural areas often face social isolation. The Farmers Breakfast is a means of bringing such people together. During lockdown they received quizzes and a monthly letter about life on a local farm.

Walking Group - The group meets monthly and every client has a dedicated volunteer walking with them. The carer (husband/wife/son/daughter) has a day off knowing their loved one is doing something they love. The benefits of physical exercise and good company are incalculable.

Community Development in Northern Ryedale and Whitby District - our Community

Development worker runs a Farmers Breakfast in Lythe and has supported the development of a number of friendship groups in small rural communities in northern Ryedale and rural parts of Whitby District.

The trustees confirm that they have referred to the guidance contained in the Charity Commission's general guidance on public benefit when reviewing the objectives and activities and in the planning of future activities.

Achievements and performance

A detailed review of the charity's activities and achievements in year are contained in the separate document 'Ryedale Carers Support Annual Report April 2020 - March 2021' Financial Review

The results for the period ending 31st March 2021 show final balances of £55,154 unrestricted funds; £45,053 designated funds and £52,152 restricted funds. In year, the overall operational surplus, after transfers was £30,060; comprising a surplus of £409 on unrestricted funds, £15,000 on designated funds and £14,651 on restricted funds.

The surplus this year on unrestricted funds reflects another successful year of fundraising and a significant increase in donations. The surplus in year on restricted funds reflects several grants on hold as some activities were suspended during the pandemic. The restricted funding grants are listed in note 13 to the accounts, 'Movement of Funds', all of which show favourable balances at 31 March 2021. These will be carried forward to the new financial year as the charity will have an increase in expenditure as links are re-established with clients and volunteers and new and exciting activities are developed..

2

The trustees have moved a further £5,000 into the designated redundancy and wind down provision to reflect increasing staff numbers and established a new designated fund entitled 'Covid Recovery project' of £10,000, both transferred from unrestricted general funds. The new Covid Recovery fund will be used to buy a computer and employ a part time worker to develop a recovery plan and identify new activities to enable the lonely and isolated to reconnect with each other either face to face or online.

The level of free reserves, that is those unrestricted funds not tied up in tangible fixed assets, nor held in designated funds, stands at £53,399 at 31st March 2021. The trustees consider that this level of free reserves is in line with the target level set in the reserves policy of one quarter of the annual projected expenditure for the forthcoming year.

Plans for the future

The road map out of lockdown enabled the charity to begin to plan its post covid recovery strategy. This will include; ▪ a blend of online and face to face activities

▪ staff working from the office and from home

Ryedale Carers Support has learnt from the pandemic and the national lockdown to find new ways of keeping our communities connected.

A three year Business Plan for the partnership of Ryedale Carers Support, Caring Together Whitby and Support for Carers Scarborough has been prepared which details the strategic aims and detailed plans going forward and addresses any weaknesses or threats as identified in the SWOT analysis.

Ryedale Carers Support will continue to develop and strengthen the partnership to ensure its future sustainability.

Trustee's responsibilities in relation to the financial statements

The charity trustees are responsible for preparing a trustees' annual report and financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice). The law applicable to charities in England and Wales requires the charity trustees to prepare financial statements for each year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and of the incoming resources and application of resources, of the charity for that period.

In preparing the financial statements, the trustees are required to:
