Structure. governance and management
Durham Dales Parish Nurslngls a Charitable Incorwrated Organlsatlon, set up and reglstered with the
nd
Charlty Commisslon on 2 November 2022. Regular meetings of trustees were quarterly, with one
additional, extraordinary meeting toncerned with appointment of Staff, meaning that the full board of
trustees met 6 times over the reporting perlod. The flrst part tlme Parlsh Nurse was employed in June
2023, In pannership with Upper Teesdale Agricultural Support Services. and Parish Nursing Ministries UK.
The first accounting period is for the 17 month period from registration to 31 March 2024.
Oblectlves and artlvltles
The objects of Durham Dales Parish Nurslng are, for the beneflt of the publlc, the relief of slckness and the
preservation of health among people residing permanently or temporarily in and around Teesdale and
Weardale, by the provision of Parish Nurse5.
The trustees have had regard to the guidance issued by the Charity Commission on public benefft.
hlevements and perlom)ance
The first year of the project has been about establishing the parish nursin8 service and buildin8 connections
with clients, GP surgeries and community groups. The first Parish Nurse was appointed in June 2023, and
has visited and established regular contsct wlth community groups such as local lunch clubs. churches. the
auction mart and various interest and support groups. She has also worked hard to partner with local GP

surgeries and so¢lal prescribers, enabling referrals both ways, and C￿ating opportunities to work together
to support clients, Dverall heafth and wellbeing, rather than addressin8 issues separately. resulting in better
Dutcomes for clients. At the time of reportin& nineteen clients in the Teesdale area had contart with the
Service, fourteen of these were receiving ongoing support from the Parish Nurse,. the others had been
referred on to other service5 Or no longer required support due to improved mental health.
In March 2024 a second Parish Nurse was employed. at the time of reporting, they were beglnning to make
contacl with organisations and individuals in Weardale.
The servite has become well integrated into the local support netWo￿S and the Impact of the support for
individua15 has a150 helped families of those receiving care from the service. The education around self-
help provided by the nurses has improved the resilience of users of the service. The open*nded nature of
the support provided ha5 allowed for a greater or lesser intensity of engagement, helping people to better
manage their own mental health, knowing that support will continue to be available on a when-required
basis.
The aims for the next year include recruitment of a volunteer team to help with some of the non-medical
aspects of support that clients require. such as assistance to access activities or shop5, and general listening
and befriendin8 on an ongoing b35i5.
Flnancial performance
The main source of income during the year was a grant allocated by Durham Diocesan Board of Finance
from funds 8enerously provided by Lord Crewe's Charity. This will cover all costs for the first two years of
the project's artivities. Further funding is to be sought from other grant-making organisations in the
coming year. The existing fundin8 is expected to last until Mar¢h 2026.
Trustees. responsibilitles in respect of the flnanclal statemenls
Charity Law require5 the tru5tee5 to prepare financial statements for each financial year, which give a true
and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity at the year end and of the net incoming/outgoing
