Seacroft is categorised as one of the most deprived in the UK by government metrics. It is also a place of great character and history where many people have lived their whole lives and have a strong connection to. Our main objectives are to support people over 60 in our community to live at home, reduce isolation and loneliness and maintain or improve personal health and wellbeing. We do this through the provision of flexible, dedicated, sustainable and quality services, personal contact, and the provision of activities and opportunities to socialise. We have a small team of dedicated, trained staff and an active team of amazing volunteers. We work closely with many local healthcare providers and support services. This reporting period 1[st] October 2020 to 30th September 2021 has been one of tremendous challenges. In addition to the issues posed by covid, we also had several longstanding members of staff and trustees leave the organisation. We were fortunate to be able to find replacements but recognise the loss of friends and colleagues with great experience who gave many years of service to North and South Seacroft and worked extremely hard to successfully merge the two organisations together. Our facilities in the Methodist Hall (Chapel FM) were out of use until mid-January 21 while refurbishment work continued. During that time services were maintained from the Kentmere Avenue site. Covid, and the restrictions placed upon us all, continued to have an enormous impact on staff and clients. Many of the services that were normally provided by Leeds City Council (LCC) were curtailed or stopped, lockdowns prevented person to person contact and travel for older people was both discouraged and restricted. Many hours of staff time were taken up ensuring we complied with government guidance and legislation. The complexity of issues that people suffered from, and that staff had to deal with, during this period increased significantly. In many cases individuals suffered more as a result of the **4** restrictions than from covid. The staff team prioritised vulnerable clients and implemented an ‘exceptional circumstances’ protocol. There were times when the only contact that older residents had, was with SFN’s staff, this literally provided a lifeline to some. Contact was carried out by telephone but with personal visits where required. Staff and volunteers were required to deal with people who were suicidal, people who had fallen over and had to have physical assistance, transport to medical care was provided, food was delivered, advice given including “signposting” to other agencies and electronic tablets and phones were supplied and all done within the government imposed regulations. Risk assessments were carried out and steps taken to reduce risks to clients, staff, volunteers, trustees and other users of shared facilities. Zoom was used for meetings, training and activities. When face-toface meetings did resume these were done in large airy rooms with windows open, seats spread out and masks worn where required. It is difficult to convey just how difficult a period this was for staff, volunteers and clients and it has taken a toll on the general health and wellbeing of all parties. It is hoped that the government review of how this was handled takes issues such as these into account into future planning. Speaking as the Chair of Trustees, I am proud to say that I have no doubt that SFN staff and volunteers played a major role in supporting older residents in Seacroft through this very difficult period and a huge debt of thanks is owed to all SFN staff and volunteers who went above and beyond what could reasonably be expected to support clients. Without the outstanding contributions of Scheme Co-ordinators Kate Taverner and Carol Lockwood in supporting staff and maintaining services over this period, none of it would have been possible. We received a thank you letter from Leeds NHS trust in Oct 2020 thanking the organisation for its dedication and contribution to the overall Leeds NHS response. We also received very positive feedback from an independent review carried out by the Centre for Ageing Better in 2021. They summarised by saying Leeds Neighbourhood Network Schemes “ **did whatever it took to alleviate the worst effects of a humanitarian crisis”** and that “ **We were** **5** **instrumental in making sure there was no pause in provision, we literally changed things around within 1 day** ”. Shirley M. Dann MRPharmS, BSc Chair of Trustees, Seacroft Friends and Neighbours **6** ## **2 Achievements and Performance** ## **2.1 Integration of North and South Seacroft Neighbourhood Network** ## **Schemes** Following the merger of North and South Seacroft in October 2019 there were many follow up actions required to integrate the two organisations. As a result of the merger the number of clients served by the new Community Interest Organisation (CIO) is around 950 people. A thorough review of policies and procedures was carried out. Some were updated or deleted and where gaps were identified, new documents prepared. ## **2.2 New Trustees and Staff Recruited** We had a number of staff and trustee changes (see sections 2.8 and 7). We advertised and recruited additional trustees and staff to fill the vacancies and carried out a phased transfer of responsibilities in mid-2021. ## **2.3 Buildings / Refurbishment of Chapel FM** Whilst the bulk of the refurbishment work at Chapel FM was completed by the end of November 2020, SFN were not able to move back in until mid-January. During the closure, staff and volunteers maintained as many services as possible from Kentmere Avenue. ## **2.4 Coping Through Covid** This has been described in the foreword and in section 4. In addition to points mentioned elsewhere, it is recognised that staff and volunteers themselves and members of their close families also had to cope with having to self-isolate at times for 14-day periods. They also suffered from illnesses and had to look after family members when they were ill / self-isolating. This led to problems where staff struggled to take time off or holidays. Holiday extensions were given and some additional days holiday were allocated to reflect the additional burden they had faced. ## **2.5 Survey of Leeds Neighbourhood Network Schemes carried out by The Centre for Ageing Better** SFN were selected to take part in this survey as one of six Leeds Neighbourhood Network Schemes (LNN’s). The purpose of the study was ‘to explore the role of community-based organisations in supporting people in later life to achieve the capabilities and outcomes **7** ## associated with healthy ageing’. The report (which we were provided with feedback from) considered how the LNN’s are working to promote functional ability at three overlapping stages of need: – **Prevent:** Primary prevention of long-term health conditions through community-based activities and support. – **Delay:** Supporting people to manage long-term conditions, to delay onset in severity that may impact on their quality of life and need for more acute health and social care services. – **Reduce:** Supporting people with intensive support needs, including frail people in later life, to relieve pressure on their informal carers and acute services. The study identified that “There is potential for a symbiotic relationship between the LNNs and the strategic priorities of Leeds health and social care stakeholders. Prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, key stakeholders had already begun to recognise that their ambitions for a preventative model of public services, based on developing community-based resources and assets, could not be delivered without the continued and enhanced involvement of the LNNs. This potential future role for the LNNs has been brought into even sharper focus since the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic”. We will take on board what the study found in our forward planning. We are pleased that outcome of the study was positive and supportive of the work being done by LNN’s. We feel is a true reflection of the work carried out by SFN. ## **2.6 Partnership working** Section 5 describes the high level of interaction that occurred during the period between SFN and other agencies and organisations. SFN formed an integral part of the network and contributed significantly in the efforts to support older residents in Seacroft. **8** ## **2.7 Personnel Changes** Kate Taverner, our Project Co-ordinator made the decision to leave after over 16 plus years working for older people in Seacroft. Linda Goodall, Treasurer and former Project Co-ordinator of South Seacroft Friends and Neighbours resigned from the board of trustees. Both Linda and Kate put in a significant amount of time and effort into building up the organisation and we are grateful to them both, for their input and involvement over many years. Local residents have benefitted directly and indirectly as a result. Following an external recruitment process, we were pleased to offer Carol Lockwood the role of Project Co-ordinator. Carol had worked for the charity alongside Kate as Assistant Co-ordinator. Neil Thompson was appointed interim deputy. In June 2021 our Chair of Trustees Lynne Reed retired to spend more time on other projects. Lynne had planned to leave in 2020 but postponed her plans to ensure the Charity was in a stable position before stepping down. Shirley Dann previously Vice Chair took on the role of Chair on Lynne’s departure. Sadly Doreen Prideaux passed away whilst still a serving trustee and joint chairperson. Doreen had been involved with North Seacroft GN’s for some time and assisted with the merger of North and South Seacroft. Barbara Kelly resigned as a trustee having supported South Seacroft on the committee for several years. We are grateful to all those who gave up their time to carry out these duties. During this period of change one of our Project Workers left. Two new trustees were identified and appointed as trustees for the organisation. Sheonagh Clarke joined in March and John Scott in April 2021. Sheonagh who has previous management and HR experience, agreed to take on the position of Vice Chair and John, who has a financial background, accepted the role of Treasurer. Three of the trustees took part in one day training course in December led by Voluntary Action Leeds, entitled “Roles and Responsibilities of Trustees”. Six trustees took part in a one day training session led by John Wilson from Community Matters called the Essential trustee and utilisation our own constitution. **9** ## **2.8 Frailty Work** Having been granted Swift funding in early 2020, we recruited a Health Lead. This funding enabled us to work alongside key statutory partners within the Health Service. Through this specific funding we became a delivery agent within the city-wide Frailty project. Our Health Lead commenced work in January 2020 on a two-year fixed contract. Her role became even more important as Covid impacted our service users and the wider community as a whole. Older peoples’ well-being and independence are within our constitutional / charitable over- arching aims. They encompass, good mental health, keeping up social contacts, keeping up hobbies, involvement in the community and keeping active. Seacroft Friends and Neighbours helped clients with practical support, dealing with housing issues, aids adaptations, referral or support with podiatry, continence, hearing and medical interventions to keep that independence. The Frailty work looks at a personalised care, designed around improving selfmanagement skills to help people thrive and connect with their community. ## **2.9 Transport** We purchased a new minibus in the last financial year, this was a huge benefit during the pandemic. It was fitted out to minimise covid transmission and where required, we were able to transport vulnerable people on an individual basis. ## **2.10 Engaging with others and promoting the services** A new SFN website was put together by one of our members of staff. It has gone live and looks very welcoming and current. We have an amazing team of volunteers who give up their time and talents to help others they are local and know many of the clients well. We send out newsletters to alert people to the services provided. We receive referrals from other organisations and by word-ofmouth. ## **3 BUILDINGS** Refurbishment of Chapel FM (Seacroft Methodist Hall) continued whilst covid restrictions were in place. Work took longer than planned and the completion date moved several times. SFN eventually moved back into the building in the middle of January 2021. We have a dedicated office space, there is a modern kitchen and a lovely new hall **10** with good access for activities. Our team continued to offer activities at Kentmere Avenue as permitted by the regulations. ## **4 COVID PANDEMIC and SERVICES** As mentioned in other parts of this report, the covid restrictions created additional challenges to what was already a difficult job for staff and volunteers. Due to the reductions in provision by statutory service providers, services were in higher demand than normal. It is to everyone’s enormous credit that SFN continued to offer vital services to a large number of clients. SFN staff prioritised the most vulnerable members of the client group and applied the “exceptional circumstance’ protocol. Staff offered and provided assistance with organising and collecting prescriptions and health related items; shopping and arranging meals. We initiated safe door step visits to support our complex case work where needed and maintained regular telephone contact with clients. Telephone calls were a lifeline to many clients. Where possible, services were delivered at arms-length thus offering a level of protection to staff and clients. Staff one-to-one support has been vitally important for the health and wellbeing of clients. We witnessed an increase in the number of people having complex needs including mental health, alcohol dependency, behavioural problems and suicidal tendencies. Lockdown, fear and loss of contact with others and withdrawal of services being the main drivers of this. Staff previously undertook suicide awareness training and support was provided for their own well-being and to assist them in dealing with some extremely stressful situations. ## **Needs of clients increased dramatically as statutory services were reduced and with an increase in need, SFN stepped up to fill the void.** This included: - enabling clients to get support from other groups and agencies; - registering people for shielding; - making sure they got appointments for doctors/hospital and could attend; - making sure they were able to get access to flu vaccines, covid tests, covid injections and medicines; - support to access benefits and financial aid; - food deliveries (as well as shopping assistance up to 30 people per week were being provided with hot and cold meals); **11** - telephone welfare checks, winter well-being checks and public health messages have been shared throughout; - activity packs, along with the loan of recreational resources such as - jigsaws, knitting packs, books, arts and crafts resources and DVD’s; - help in dealing with emergencies including deaths, funerals and sudden illness; - supplying (in the event of no other options) essential equipment in one case a cooker was provided; - referrals (see below) - our oldest referral was for someone who was 100 and the furthest came from Hong Kong; - hearing aid maintenance; - telephone befriending; - sourcing goods in lock down, clothing, white goods; - technology loan and weekly support; - letter writing—both intergenerational and with each other. We were provided with phones and tablets from a local group. Clients identified what they would like to use these for and then were trained how to do those specific things. This included: zoom calls with friends and family; online shopping; online transactions; booking appointments; watching films and playing games. Not everyone wanted to try them but most of those who did, found them to be beneficial in particular zoom calls to keep in touch during isolation and lockdown. Funding was sourced for falls prevention work, purchase of suitable slippers, key safes and CO2 detectors. We were grateful to receive a donation from The Single Ladies Fund which was given and used to address covid transmission/issues. We also used some of the money to provide a Christmas gift to clients as they were unable to have any normal Christmas activities. 160 packs were delivered. We were also awarded some Lottery funding in recognition of the enormous burden created by covid and the restrictions. Newsletters were sent out Winter and Spring to over 600 local residents. **12** In June 2021 we restarted face-to-face small group activities adhering to covid safety guidance. This was warmly welcomed by most, however, where clients were more reluctant to venture out they have been gently encouraged. ## **5 WORKING in PARTNERSHIP** SFN work in partnership locally to provide vital cohesive community support during the pandemic. Working in partnership was a vital part of maintaining as many services to older residents as possible and minimising harm. The Centre for Ageing Better review specifically recognises the valuable contribution that the Leeds Neighbourhood network schemes including SFN played in this. As a group we accepted referrals from Leeds City Council helpline and became part of a community wide crisis management and support initiative. Partners included: LS14 Trust Fall into Place local GPs Local police Leeds Community Spaces SCOT Chapel FM NHS colleagues Seacroft and Killingbeck Councillors We approached local businesses to source essential supplies and collected and have taken food to the Food Bank and hygiene items to our local recovery Hub. We are part of the Local Care Partnership looking at our community priorities and issues, with Health, Council and Third sector meeting regularly. These partnerships have proved to be vital during these challenging times enabling all parties to share the Covid message and vocalise what support was available and to whom. Through our actions we were able to support Clinically Extremely Vulnerable members to access services. We made referrals on behalf of older people to: **----- Start of picture text -----**

We utilised our scheme mini-bus to offer and provide door-to-door transport in a covid safe environment. ## **6 FINANCIAL POSITION** Following the setup of the new CIO, and taking into account the larger organisation and resulting increase in the funds being managed, it was decided that we would introduce the use of QuickBooks. This was a significant project for staff (in addition to all of the other ongoing challenges) requiring the inputting of information, training and familiarisation in the use and setting up the various accounts. We are grateful to Heera Singh from HSL who we appointed as our accountancy service provider. Heera has provided support and training on QuickBooks, his expertise has been welcomed and has increased the confidence of the Senior Management Team in using the new system. Heera has also increased awareness of financial expectations and legal requirements. Thank you also to John Scott (Trustee/Treasurer) and Kate Taverner and Carol Lockwood (Co-ordinators) for their input into this. The system will provide a more robust system of financial control moving forward befitting the larger organisation. Heera has also undertaken our independent assessment as required by Charity Law. ## **Reserves Policy** Due to the merger the reserves were lifted to £50,000, a further £20,000 was added during this reporting period. This figure will continue to be reviewed annually. ## **Financial Overview** Following the merger, existing funds were transferred from both North and South Seacroft accounts to Seacroft Friends and Neighbours. Funding that was already in place for the individual groups was sustained following the merger. **14** In addition to staff and building costs, funds secured have enabled us to provide individual client items such as slippers, key safes (this was particularly important during the covid restrictions), dementia resources, winter warmth resources and recreational activity packs. We also had donations which were used specifically for implementing covid measures such as screening for the minibus. No expenses were claimed by any of the trustees. We are grateful to the Single Ladies Benevolent Fund for their support, donations are used directly to support clients. Personal donations continue to enhance our works; these donations are often from existing clients grateful for support or families of former clients. We continue to apply for funds both singularly and as a Seacroft collective. We acknowledge the security of Leeds City Council Grant which forms a large part of our current income and which runs until 30 September 2023. We are mindful of cuts being made to this funding year on year and are taking steps to ensure that we address any shortfall. We had an overall net income for the period which, given the challenges faced, puts us in a sound financial position. A full list of funders can be found in the annual accounts. **Financial Position at 30/09/2021** A full set of accounts has been prepared and will be submitted with the annual return to the Charities commission. The accounts have been prepared by HSL Accountancy Solutions and agreed by the Trustees. ## **As at 30/9/2021** Unrestricted Restricted Total Income £15,722 £268,566 £284,289 Expenditure £3,790 £220,897 £224,687 ## **7 TRUSTEES** We had a number of changes in the board of trustees as described in 2.7. Linda Goodall, Lynne Read and Barbara Kelly left the organisation. Doreen Prideaux sadly passed away. Helen Taylor briefly joined as a trustee in early 2021 but shortly after took up a full-time position and had to resign.

The trustees notified the Charities commission of an internal review that was carried out. Recommendations and actions taken were documented in a satisfactory manner. ## **8 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS and CONCLUSION** No business continuity planning could have prepared us for the past year and a half. SFN has bravely and with great care navigated the difficult path through merger activities, staff and building changes and ongoing covid challenges and restrictions. Huge thanks go to the small but dedicated Seacroft Friends and Neighbours staff all of whom have taken responsibility to provide invaluable support and resources to older residents in Seacroft throughout the year. They have had to rethink how they work, looking at Public Health guidance, adhering to new working practices under strict risk assessment. **16** We appreciate the input from our trustees, their expertise, advice and guidance is vital to the smooth and safe running of the charity. Our volunteers, are the heartbeat of our charity they continued to adapt and support our clients as necessary. Our thanks as always to Adults and Health who are pivotal in the Neighbourhood Networks and to the Commissioners who have supported us through the pandemic and our internal changes. For a period of time now, we have been generously supported by Leeds Single Ladies Benevolent Society. We are grateful for their continued support, particularly during this challenging year and their donations help us to support our most vulnerable members of our elderly community. It is through donations and funders we are able to continue delivering high quality, friendly, caring services to the community of Seacroft and East Leeds. We recognise the substantial contribution made by Leeds City Council which enables us to provide continuity of services and to make long term plans to support local older residents. We actively ask for feedback and listen to those who use the services. We constantly review what we provide and whether it is best meeting the needs of older people in Seacroft. As we have demonstrated during Covid where required we change and adapt quickly when necessary.
