CARERS’ HUB

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES for the Year Ended 31 March 2021

Our aims and objectives

Purposes and Aims

Our charity’s purposes as set out in the objects contained in the company’s memorandum of association are to: ● relieve the stresses experienced by carers, and beneficiaries in England and Wales.

“Beneficiaries” means any person or persons who have care needs as a result of disability, illness or age. “Carers” means any person involved in the provision of care without receiving remuneration other than statutory benefits, for a person or people who have care needs as a result of disability, illness or age.

Statement on Public Benefit

The Trustees have paid due regard to the guidance on public benefit produced by The Charity Commission and are confident that the work of the charity meets all the criteria for public benefit.

Our mission is to improve carers' lives in Lambeth through quality services and community engagement.

Carers' Hub Lambeth is an independent local charity based in Brixton. Our work stems from the fact that carers’ lives can be negatively impacted in all sorts of ways as a result of their caring role. Whether financial, educational or otherwise, we seek to limit the challenges that carers face in two key ways: by working with carers directly, and by influencing the local services and policies that affect them.

'I would feel cut off without Carers' Hub, it is a reliable, safe place to meet others who get it ' Young Adult Carer

Carers’ Hub Lambeth key objectives and main achievements

Improve Wellbeing

Caring for a loved one, family member, friend or neighbour, can have a significant impact on all aspects of a carers own life. Through peer support groups and one-to-one appointments, our dedicated and passionate team work with carers aged 5 and up to help overcome challenges around managing at home, finances, caring with confidence, education and employment, physical health and emotional wellbeing.

Key achievements: 1072 carers supported.

28,087 contacts recorded with carers.

186 attendances to yoga, complementary therapies, mindfulness, cooking, photography and poetry sessions, arts & crafts and tai chi.

Increase Connections

There is a lot of support on offer in Lambeth, but these things can be difficult to find. We’re here to fill those gaps. We provide information on training courses, local services and help carers build connections with each other and their community. We help professionals to connect too through our Carers Collaborative Network.

Key achievements : 1,629 signposts were made to external organisations. 568 direct referrals were made to external organisations.

● During Carers’ Week we also launched early access to the Lambeth version of the Carers UK Digital Platform, offering e-learning, information on all aspects of caring and the Jointly App as part of the Lambeth Carers Card scheme delivered by Carers’ Hub and MYsocial. ● Carers Collaborative Network launched July 2019 bringing together local professionals and volunteers working with unpaid carers. The network is hosted by Carers’ Hub, and brings together representatives from around 20 local organisations. The Carers Collaborative Network continues to meet quarterly and uses an online discussion group to share updates and opportunities between meetings.

Raising Awareness

We believe caring is everybody’s business. We work hard to raise awareness through outreach in the community, GP practices and local hospitals, presentations to schools and social work teams, through partnership working and our involvement with the Lambeth Carers' Strategy.

Key achievements:

Carers’ Hub Lambeth key objectives and main achievements (continued)

Influence

We believe that the development of local policy, practice and services that affect carers should take carers’ experiences into account. For this reason, we host a range of workshops and forums for carers to make their voices heard throughout the year. Our Carers' Strategy Development Manager plays a key role in the development and delivery of the Lambeth Carers' Strategy.

.

Key achievements:

● The Carers Strategy Development Manager facilitates the work on Lambeth Carers Strategy and co-ordinates the bi-monthly Carers Collaborative Strategy Group bringing together carer representatives and stakeholders from statutory services and the voluntary sector. ● We were able to support Lambeth Council’s and South East London Clinical Commissioning Group’s work to help address the confusion around access to the Covid 19 vaccine for carers and share information to address vaccine hesitancy.

● Throughout the year we also hosted virtual meetings of the Carers Collaborative Network, helping to foster positive connections between local organisations and partners. This enabled us to bring partners together to share updates on how organisations were responding to COVID-19 and ideas on how to work together to address some challenges carers were facing.

To achieve these key objectives, the charity’s principle activities are:

Young Carers (Connect Lambeth funded)

Our young carers team works with children from the age of 5 upwards, offering support and information to young carers and their families.

Adventure, friendship and support are super-important for young carers, so we split our work into four areas:

4) We run dedicated projects working with schools to support young carers with their education.

Key achievements:

Young Adult Carers (CCG CAMHS funded)

A young adult carer is someone aged 15-21 who cares, unpaid, for a friend or family member who has an illness, disability, mental health problem or addiction. Some caring roles are big, others small. Either way, we’re here to help. We know that friendship, support and trying new things can provide the boost that young adult carers need, so we split our work into three areas:

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES for the Year Ended 31 March 2021

Carers’ Hub Lambeth key objectives and main achievements (continued)

Key achievements:

Adult Carers includes, carers for learning disabilities, mental health and dementia (Connect Lambeth funded)

An adult carer is someone aged 18+ who cares, unpaid, for a friend or family member who has an illness, disability, mental health problem or addiction. 1) We provide tailored 1-2-1 support, whether that relates to finances, day-to-day tasks or something different.

2) We run peer support groups for carers to share their experience of caring, make friends, and develop new skills. Different carers face different challenges, and that’s why our groups are specialised. We run groups tailored to dementia, mental health and learning disability carers.

3) We host a variety of information sessions and learning opportunities throughout the year.

4) We deliver first aid training and provide free legal clinics through our partnerships.

5) And if we can’t help, we’ll do our best to link carers with someone that can through up-to-date information, signposting and referrals.

Key achievements:

Carers Strategy (Lambeth CCG funded)

Carers’ Hub Lambeth sees the Carers Strategy as a vital opportunity to raise awareness of carers and improve carer support in our borough. Through our Carers Strategy Development Manager post, we’re working with the Carers Collaborative Strategy Group (CCSG) to help realise the carers strategy. The CCSG has developed the 2019-2020 Action Plan setting out four priority areas for carers in Lambeth:

● working together with a wide range of local partners and services, to improve support and ensure carers become everyone's business.

● launching a Carers Passport for Lambeth,to recognise carers and their vital contribution to our community.

● building the Carers Collaborative network,to bring together carer organisations and carer leads in Lambeth.

● maximizing opportunities to raise awareness of carers in Lambeth,to increase understanding within local services and the wider community.

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES for the Year Ended 31 March 2021

Carers’ Hub Lambeth key objectives and main achievements (continued)

How we’re involved

● Carers Hub Lambeth are playing a key role in delivering the Action Plan including leading the development of the Lambeth Carers Card and the Carers Collaborative Network. ● The Carers Strategy Development Manager, is based at Carers Hub Lambeth. Helping us to connect the work of the carers strategy more closely with carers and our partners working in the community.

● We coordinate the Carers Collaborative Strategy Group, and are working together with fellow members to drive forward the Carers Strategy in Lambeth.

Advanced Care Planning Consortium

Lambeth’s Advance Care Planning Consortium is an open network of organisations working to make advance care planning accessible for Lambeth’s diverse communities and increase the numbers of people documenting their wishes, ensuring that what matters to each person is known about when health decisions need to be made. Carers’ Hub will deliver awareness raising activities through its existing activities programme, which includes group walks, peer support groups and social activities, and offer one-to-one support to 75 people over the period of three years in the groups of carers identified.

Pre lockdown, we’d planned to do this face to face but shifted to telephone clinics and online training sessions to ensure this crucial support could still be delivered. We had 19 attendances at 1 to 1 Advanced Carers Planning sessions and online workshops.

Kings Civic Challenge

Carers’ Hub Lambeth submitted an entry titled “Caring Stories” to the King’s Civic Challenge 2019/20, a competition for organisations working with King’s staff and students to deliver positive change across Lambeth, Southwark and Westminster. We were awarded the Health & Wellbeing Award to be delivering this project between September 2020 – July 2021, but due to the pandemic this had to be put on hold and will be delivered between June - October 2021. “Caring Stories” will share the life experience of informal carers and highlight their contribution to society by creating an exhibition of their works. Carers will access creative workshops to increase confidence, reduce loneliness and foster peer support. Work produced will be exhibited to showcase carer experiences and raise community awareness.

Financial Review

Review of the charity’s financial position at the end of the period

The statement of financial activities for 2020-2021 is set out on page 9 and shows a reported surplus for the year of £30,757 of which £1,328 is restricted income. The position of the charity at the year-end is set out on page 10.

Our surplus this year largely results from our services being delivered online due to the Covid-19 restrictions and from having staff vacancies.

Principal Funding Sources

Our principal source of funding is Lambeth Council for those services being delivered through Connect Lambeth (previously Independent Living and Carers' Partnership). NHS South East London CCG also funds a proportion of our work. Recognising the considerable financial pressure facing local authorities both now and in the future, the charity is considering ways of diversifying its funding base, particularly in relation to grants, donations and corporate partnerships.

Details of the sources of funds are set out in the accounts. The Board confirms that the financial statements comply with current statutory requirements, the requirements of the company’s governing document and the requirements of the Statement of Recommended Practice (the Charities SORP 2015).

Page 6

CARERS’ HUB

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES for the Year Ended 31 March 2021

Reserves Policy

Total Reserves as of 31 March 2021 are: £192,778 of which £36,082 represents restricted funds.

The Board of Trustees has examined the charity’s requirements for reserves in light of the main risks to the organisation. It has established a policy whereby the unrestricted funds not committed or invested in tangible fixed assets (free reserves) held by the charity should be at a level equivalent to three months of operating costs. The budgeted expenditure for 2021/22 is £342,648 therefore there is a target of a minimum of £85,662 in free funds.

Plans for future periods

The charity’s core provision will continue to be delivered through the Connect Lambeth contract until March 2025 and it will continue to work closely with its partners to demonstrate the value and impact of the services jointly provided to the Council to secure funding beyond that. With referrals increasing in both volume and complexity, a key fundraising priority will be to bolster our core services through additional grant funding and donations.

The NHS South East London CCG funded Carers Strategy Development Manager role has now been integrated into the Connect Lambeth contract and offers scope for the Charity to play a key role in the design and delivery of the local Carers Strategy. We will maximise on the opportunity this affords us to identify gaps and opportunities in local service provision to support the development of partnerships and funding applications. The NHS South East London CCG funded Young Adult Carers Post has secure income until October 2021.

The charity has begun work on a new 5 year strategic plan which will help to clarify our short and medium term priorities. Our fundraising strategy will be refreshed to ensure alignment.

Investment Policy

During 2021-2022, the trustees will be exploring the most appropriate way to invest surplus funds.

Trustee selection methods including details of any constitutional provisions e.g. election to post or name of any person or body entitled to appoint one or more trustees

Recruitment and Appointment of Trustees

The directors of the company are also charity trustees. Management of the charity is the responsibility of the Board of Trustees which meets at least 4 times a year. Trustees are recruited throughout the year using a range of methods and elected at the Annual General Meeting. Honorary Officers are also elected at the AGM. Trustees will normally serve a three-year term and are twice eligible for subsequent re-election.

Trustee induction and training

An induction is provided for all new Trustees and ongoing training opportunities are made available. The Board held a review of its skills and experience this year to inform our recruitment strategy to increase the size of our Board and ensure it meets the needs of the organisation. All Trustees give their time voluntarily and receive no remuneration from the charity. Any expenses reclaimed from the Charity are set out in the accounts. The Trustees delegate day to day management to the Chief Executive.

Risk Management

The Trustees have reviewed the major strategic, business and operational risks which the charity faces. Actions to address key risk areas have been agreed and progress is reviewed regularly. In addition, strong financial controls are in place to mitigate the risk of financial losses due to theft or fraud and these controls are regularly reviewed.

CHARTERED ACCOUNTANTS' INDEPENDENT EXAMINER’S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES ON THE UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OF CARERS’ HUB

We report on the accounts of the company for the year ended 31 March 2021, which are set out on pages 9 to 15.

Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner

The trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act) and that an independent examination is needed. Having satisfied ourselves that the charity is not subject to audit under company law and is eligible for independent examination, it is our responsibility to:

Basis of independent examiner’s report

Our examination was carried out in accordance with the general Directions given by the Charity Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from you as trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a ‘true and fair view’ and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below.

Independent examiner’s statement

In connection with our examination, no matter has come to our attention:

(2) to which, in our opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
