Achievements and performance
A Year of Development at Befriended
2020/2021 has been a year of significant change for Befriended. With the onset of Covid-19 and the many restrictions that we had to adjust to, like everyone else, we had to adjust the way that the charity was working.
After a trustee review in January 2021, a significant decision was made that the charity would need to invest in staffing to continue to meet the increase in loneliness and isolation caused by the pandemic.
Having done an audit of the charity for the first time since it began in 2017, it was highlighted that there was a need for reviewing all processes, policies, and procedures. The appointment of a Chief Executive in April 2021 led to a reshaping of the charity and refreshing of the vision.
During 2020/2021 our key strategies to advance our aims became
-
To find new ways to reconnect and support our elderly clients not only throughout lockdown and differing restrictions but also in coming out of lockdown.
-
Establish new systems and processes internally for effective data management and communication
-
Create ways to build confidence for older people to engage in their communities
-
Reduce loneliness, improve mental health, and sustain long lasting meaningful relationships
Our Year in Numbers
Befriended currently has:
-
46 active volunteers
-
27 Befriender/Befriendee established relationships
-
150+ clients that we have some contact with
We ask our Befrienders to spend an hour a week with their Befriendee, either face to face or over the phone where Covid-19 has restricted our face-to-face Befriending (although we know many of our volunteers give far more time than this). This means over the last year, we have provided at least 1404 hours of companionship, conversation and laughter with lonely and elderly people living in Mid Sussex.

Trustees' Report
Our response to Covid-19
At the beginning of the first lockdown when we were unable to meet face to face, we had to find new ways to connect with our clients and reconnect our volunteers and clients. As we spoke to clients and other local professionals, we were aware that the need was increasing, more and more people became lonely and isolated, and the effects of loneliness became more profound. In the last few months we have been in touch with many of our clients to do a Covid-Review and we’ve found that for many people in addition to their mental health has decreased as has their physical health and their mobility has decreased significantly.
Our key areas of response to Covid-19 were:
-
Telephone Befriending
-
Befriended Blether
-
Befriended Buddies
-
Acts of Kindness
-
Bereavement Support
-
Social Activities
As the country moved out of lockdown, as well as continuing to encourage our Befrienders and Befriendees to connect, we have become more aware of the lack of confidence many of our clients now have about leaving their homes and socialising with other people.
Telephone Befriending
At the start of the pandemic as our Befrienders were unable to visit their clients in their homes or take them out, we encouraged them to begin phoning their clients instead and keeping in touch with them over the phone. As this established itself, we were able to take on new clients and had people enquiring to volunteer specifically as Telephone Befrienders including people who live outside of Mid-Sussex but wanted to be involved with the work that Befriended does.
When Befriended was born, one of our volunteering quotes was, “Find a lonely person to visit a lonely person, then have two people who are not lonely”. Just like our Face-to-Face Befriending, our volunteers have been equally blessed by the conversations and friendships they have built through volunteering.
“I have not met my befriendee face to face yet but we have got to know one another very well during our telephone befriending relationship. It began with calling Michael once a fortnight but as we discovered we had more and more in common and interesting opinions to share, we rang more often. I know Michael really appreciated my calls and friendship but I don’t think he realises how much richer he has made my life especially during lockdown.” – Ruth, Volunteer Telephone Befriender.

Trustees' Report
As well as seeing new friendships formed through Telephone Befriending, we have also seen many friendships grow. Sarah has been a volunteer for Befriended now for a few years, she already had built up a very close friendship with her befriendee through visiting her once a week but during lockdown she began to call her more often. Sarah says, “I speak to Joan every day if not more than once a day now because she means so much to me in my life. She is the first person I now call if I have anything to share, we are such close friends”.
Befriended was always about creating opportunities for people to build real connections and friendships and this is what we are seeing happen again and again and hearing the benefit that this has on people’s lives. We thought that the pandemic and lockdown may hinder this mission, but we are so grateful to be seeing the opposite and people finding new ways to connect with one another.
Acts of Kindness
As Covid-19 put a hold on our community events, we didn’t want special occasions to slip past without any celebration or without finding an opportunity to connect with our clients and other lonely and elderly people in our community. Working in partnership with other organisations we came up with a new way to bless and connect with them.
In previous years we have held an Afternoon Tea Party for Silver Sunday, with people in lockdown and not being allowed to gather in groups, we decided that we would take Afternoon Tea to them! With Age UK and Mid Sussex Council, in October 2020, a team of volunteers baked, packed, wrapped and delivered 175 ‘Cream Tea’s in a Box’ to elderly people right across Mid-Sussex. The reactions from both the volunteers and the people receiving the boxes were wonderful!
“Thank you so so much for such a delicious cream tea in a box it was absolutely wonderful, I shared it with two of my friends. What a lovely gift to receive, you made me feel so special” Eileen
“Oh my word, what a wonderful surprise on a Sunday Afternoon. It is years since I have enjoyed a cream tea, it was stunning. I phoned my family in Canada and told them all about it.” Chris
“I had just come out of hospital and to come home and receive love in a box from Befriended. Thank you for your kindness and generosity. The cream tea was thoroughly enjoyed.” Michael

Trustees' Report
We have always been so aware of how lonely people can be at Christmas time when everyone else seems to be surrounded by family and friends. As Christmas approached and the restrictions tightened again, we got a team of volunteers together and we created and delivered over 125 ‘Christmases in a Bag’. These bags had a little bit of Christmas joy in them with Christmas treats, food, a gift and a letter from a local young person. The smiles and the stories from these speak for themselves, people who thought they had been forgotten about, who hadn’t seen anyone in months and suddenly there was someone at the door with a gift just for them.
In Spring 2021, supported by Mid Sussex Council we delivered ‘Easter in a Basket’ packed full of Easter treats to over 180 people across the county.
For some of our Telephone Befrienders these Acts of Kindness were an opportunity to meet their Befriendees for the first time and gave them a reason to pop by and have a chat face to face on the doorstep!
Bereavement Support
Sadly, over the past year we have lost several of our much-loved clients. This is not only sad for their families, and we think of them as they come to terms with their loss, but also for the befriender's who have built up such a close and meaningful relationship with them.
In 2020 Gail completed her Bereavement counselling Diploma and has led two online and one face to face bereavement courses in partnership with The Point Church. By means of a series of films and discussion groups the course gently guided bereaved people through the most common aspects of grief, enabling them to process the implications for themselves and discern next steps.
“I am so glad I did the Bereavement course; it has been such a help to me and I have told my family about the benefit and wisdom gained from it.” Kirsty
“It was a life-line to me at such a time in my life where I felt lost. The love, care and support I received put me back on my feet to face the future”. Peter
“At such a broken time in my life never thinking it would ever get better, I met a group of strangers who became friends on a journey we travelled together.” Carol

Return to Face-to-Face Befriending
Over the summer once restrictions were lifted, the team and the trustees spent a lot of time discussing a return to Face-to-Face Befriending. They spoke to professionals, other befriending schemes and charities and had lots of conversations with both volunteers and clients. In September, it was decided that Face-to-Face Befriending could resume once a conversation had been had individually with both the client and the volunteer to ensure that everyone was comfortable and happy with the arrangement.
The team began calling our clients and volunteers for a ‘Covid-Review’ which gathered information about how they had been over the last 18 months, how their health (physically and mentally) was now in comparison to before Covid and what the biggest effect of Covid had been on them. We also asked them how they felt about meeting in person and whether they wanted to go back to Face-to-Face Befriending.
As of now, less than half of our clients felt comfortable going back to Face-to-Face Befriending but have continued with Telephone Befriending.
We have been developing our relationship with the local Social Prescribers in the area who are able to refer their patients to us. Over the last three months, we have received an increase of referrals from them of individuals who haven’t seen anyone since before the Pandemic and are in desperate need of company and friendship.
Systems, Processes and Administration
Since April 2021 we have been working behind the scenes to revamp all Befriended’s processes and systems to make them more reliable, effective, and productive enabling the team to have more time face to face with clients rather than being swamped by manual processes and admin tasks.
Using Zoho (an online CRM system), we have moved away from paper forms and excel spreadsheets and created an online CRM system that is automated and links volunteers and clients together. We have created online referral forms and volunteer application forms, accessible via our website, making it easier for other professionals to quickly refer clients to us and volunteers are able to apply online and then we can automatically contact their Referees.
We wanted to create a system that, not only collected and held all our data, but would also mean that communication with clients, volunteers and partners would be efficient with our small staff team.

BEFRIENDED
Trustees' Report
Having developed the CRM system, there are other areas of the platform that we want to explore and start using for developing training for our volunteers, scheduling social media posts, updating our website and many other things.
We have been able to demonstrate the system to a few other smaller charities who are also wanting to improve their systems and processes, which will benefit them but is also building and strengthening our partnerships with other local organisations.
Alongside this we refreshed Befriended’s website and social media presence to connect with more people and share the work that we are doing and encourage people to get involved whether by volunteering, giving or praying.
Finances
The appointment of CEO has increased the financial responsibility to raise funds and secure income to sustain this position. In 2020/2021 our income increased to £30,000 which includes 3 year funding of £5,000 per year. Our monthly giving has grown and regular support from our church partners throughout the year has increased.
Fundraising has become a significant part CEO’s responsibilities and since June 2020 sixteen grant applications have been submitted of which three were successful amounting to £22,000
Staffing Update
Gail Millar is the first employed Chief Executive of Befriended, working three days a week. Gail was the founder and Executive Director of Befriended which is a role she fulfilled on a part time, voluntary basis since 2016. Gail says 'taking on this role is a fulfilment of a dream, I always hoped the day would come when I could make this my sole focus and bring all my knowledge, experience and expertise to benefit Befriended and its clients'.
Having volunteered whilst furloughed, Katie Wooding Jones worked alongside Gail to establish new processes and systems for Befriended. Katie has been appointed as Office Manager and is working 4 hours a week for Befriended.
Joy Dawes continued working for Befriended during the pandemic, keeping in touch with our clients and volunteers by telephone. Her role has now changed from an administrative role into a pastoral role and she does a vital job in sending out cards to our clients and volunteers throughout the year on Birthdays, at Christmas and whenever there’s a need for a ‘thinking of you’ card.
Befriended couldn’t happen without the time given by dedicated volunteers and there are a few key volunteers that have supported Befriended over the last year:
Lorraine Gilbard is a Paediatric Nurse and volunteers for Befriended one day a week. She has spent endless hours gathering essential data to grow and expand the mission of Befriended.
Kim Allsop works full time, is a single Mum to Annabella and has used her knowledge, experience and spare time to design a bespoke data management system for Befriended, creating a platform on which we can build, develop and grow the charity.

Trustees' Report
Margie Fforde aged 77 has been a volunteer for Befriended since it began. Margie not only is a befriender but is also our bookkeeper. She manages all day-to-day expenses, monthly accounts and yearly spreadsheets.
Changes to Trustees
We have welcomed three new trustees to the Board over the last twelve months, Nicholas Baldwin, David Chewter and Janice Gott. They each bring a wealth of experience and specific knowledge that we are grateful to have within our board.
We have also said goodbye to Tafrina Styles who stepped down as a trustee after four years in the summer.
Plans for future periods
Monthly Afternoon Teas
As people become more comfortable with being out and about, we are hoping to launch a monthly Afternoon Tea party in partnership with Gateway Baptist Church, Burgess Hill to give people an opportunity to connect with other people from the area and enjoy some food and entertainment together.
Chaplaincy
In November, Gail Millar will be commissioned as an Anna-Chaplain and will see the exciting launch of Befriended’s Chaplaincy service. As people grow older, the local church is not always as accessible as it used to be for them, so with Befriended Chaplaincy, we hope to be able to 'bring church to them', with a team from a mixture of churches and denominations we want to offer services, bible studies, communion, and prayer to care homes and individuals across the local area.
Befriended Balance
We are also working with a local exercise instructor who is trained in offering Trips and Falls Prevention exercise classes and together we are planning on launching Befriended Balance Classes. These classes would aim to improve physical mobility, strength, stamina and stability through appropriate exercises as well providing a place of belonging and community for individuals.

I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the charity for the year ended 30 September 2021 which are set out on pages 12 to 20.
Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner
As the charity’s trustees of Befriended you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 (‘the Act’).
I report in respect of my examination of the Befriended's accounts carried out under section 145 of the 2011 Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed all the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act.
Independent examiner’s statement
I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect:
-
accounting records were not kept in respect of Befriended as required by section 130 of the Act; or
-
the accounts do not accord with those records; or
-
the accounts do not comply with the accounting requirements concerning the form and content of accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 other than any requirement that the accounts give a ‘true and fair view' which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination.
I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 30 September 2021
Charitable activities
Charitable expenditure comprises those costs incurred by the charity in the delivery of its activities and services for its beneficiaries. It includes both costs that can be allocated directly to such activities and those costs of an indirect nature necessary to support them.
Tangible fixed assets
Individual fixed assets costing £1,000 or more are initially recorded at cost, less any subsequent accumulated depreciation and subsequent accumulated impairment losses.

Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid net of any trade discounts due.

Fund structure
Unrestricted income funds are general funds that are available for use at the trustees's discretion in furtherance of the objectives of the charity.
Restricted income funds are those donated for use in a particular area or for specific purposes, the use of which is restricted to that area or purpose.
Pensions and other post retirement obligations
The charity operates a defined contribution pension scheme which is a pension plan under which fixed contributions are paid into a pension fund and the charity has no legal or constructive obligation to pay further contributions even if the fund does not hold sufficient assets to pay all employees the benefits relating to employee service in the current and prior periods.
Contributions to defined contribution plans are recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities when they are due. If contribution payments exceed the contribution due for service, the excess is recognised as a prepayment.
