DACORUM COMMUNITY TRUST

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021

INTRODUCTION

Dacorum Community Trust (DCT) is a small charity established in 1976 to provide help and support for underprivileged residents in the Borough of Dacorum. It is a vital part of the local community, acting as a last resort for people in crisis when the practical assistance they need is not available elsewhere.

The outbreak of the worldwide COVID pandemic in March 2020 created unprecedented challenges to DCT’s ability to deliver on its primary objective. This report outlines how DCT met these challenges by establishing innovative systems in the first lock-down to operate remotely, providing food, energy and essential household items at a time when services were severely interrupted. The report also outlines how DCT sourced funding to meet the needs of an ever-increasing number of clients throughout the year and to provide wider community support.

STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT

The Board of Trustees is as detailed above. Overall management responsibility is held by the Trustees with responsibility for the day to day running of the Trust delegated to the Trust Manager. The Trustees' Board has two sub-committees; Finance & General Purpose and Grants. All recommendations made by these sub-committees are reported to and ratified by the full board of Trustees. The Manager attends all meetings and reports to the Trustees

Recruitment and appointment of trustees

As per the constitution. Trustees appointed by the board are recruited according to the constitution via recommending bodies. In line with the original Trustees, members of the local business community are encouraged to consider becoming Trustees.

Induction and training of trustees

All Trustees are made aware of Charity Commission information for new Trustees. As appropriate, time is spent with the Manager to understand the functioning of the Trust. Active participation of appropriate training is encouraged, including recent training on governance delivered locally.

Organisational structure

This comprises the Trustees' main Board, 2 sub-committees which can include advisors, Trust Manager and support staff.

Staff 2020-2021 Dena Tyler Trust Manager Lydia Flack Trust Officer Rosemary Hall Grants and Finance Officer

The above staff all work flexible hours amounting to 1.2 equivalent full time.

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES (Continued)

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021

ACTIVITIES AND OBJECTIVES

At the beginning of April 2020, DCT made a swift transition from providing a face-to-face service for clients in our office to remote working. Local Council advice was that our office would be closed for three weeks. However the closure lasted for over a year.

•Away from the office, an immediate objective was to improve our means of communication as we were relying entirely on emails and phone calls. The DCT grants officer secured funding for four laptop computers from the Hertfordshire County Councillors’ Local Fund. V12 Tech IT Services voluntarily installed the necessary software and delivered the computers to our homes. This enabled the DCT team to communicate via Zoom and share client information securely.

•The next step was to replicate our office procedures for client interviews and save documentary evidence securely on-line. An alternative system was put in place which gave clients the choice to attend interviews via Zoom or by telephone. Storing client documents online proved an efficient way to capture and share information internally, as well as producing statistics for grant applications.

•We experienced an immediate surge in applications from clients seeking help. Numbers almost doubled during the year. In total, we dealt with 724 clients, an increase of 93.6% (375 clients) from the previous year. In all, 636 of applications received were referrals from other agencies and 88 applications were self-referrals. DCT also made 1413 referrals on behalf of clients for wider community support.

•Clients often registered with multiple problems, including benefit issues, unemployment, homelessness, domestic abuse, mental and physical health, unemployment, debt, relationship problems and other instances of extreme poverty. The top three client issues recorded were mental health (67%), debt (52%) and physical health (41%).

• The most immediate issues registered by clients were hunger and no money for gas and electricity. Many people were too frightened to leave their homes to collect food parcels or upload their energy vouchers at local pay points. DCT worked in partnership with South Hill Centre and Sunnyside Trust and contributed to petrol costs for home deliveries to clients who were sheltering or unwilling to go outside. Herts Help managed an energy fund on behalf of DCT and introduced a system to upload energy remotely onto meters. Throughout the year, emergency food and energy vouchers were consistently in the top three items issued. As the year progressed, DCT noted a sharp rise in clients registering job losses and escalating debt as a direct impact of the pandemic.

• During the first lockdown, DCT was alerted to the anxiety many people were experiencing in isolation and members of the team spent time listening to people’s concerns and signposting them to the wider community for additional support.

• DCT fulfilled an objective to provide clients with one new and/or a second-hand essential household item, as well as applying to other charities for grants to purchase additional items in cases of extreme hardship. In the first lockdown there were major delays sourcing household items, such as electric cookers but DCT was able to substitute table-top cookers which were readily available. As we were unable to source second-hand beds, fridge-freezers or washing machines from our local supplier we substituted inflatable beds so that people did not have to sleep on the floor and the finance officer found the best deals for new appliances online. A long-standing volunteer researched benevolent funds and other charities for additional grants for clients in extreme hardship.

In November 2020, DCT welcomed a new volunteer bringing us to a total of six in the team. The role included interviewing clients and administration. Our nine volunteer trustees provided much needed practical support and advice throughout the pandemic

PERFORMANCE AND ACHIEVEMENTS

The DCT team were unified in their determination to provide the best possible support for local people at a very difficult and unsettling time. In the absence of physical contact, they adapted very quickly to working in an office setting online and the time gained enabled the team to deal with the higher numbers of clients seeking assistance. In the future DCT intends to implement a more flexible model, combining remote and office working.

DACORUM COMMUNITY TRUST

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES (Continued)

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021

• Early in the year, new initiatives were adopted aimed at maintaining effective communication within DCT. A weekly written report detailing performance and activities was circulated to trustees, staff and volunteers. A weekly staff team meeting was introduced via Zoom and trustees were invited to join this. As the year progressed, new and existing partner agencies were invited to attend our meetings to share information enabling us to get the best mutual outcomes for our respective clients. These initiatives have proved so beneficial that we have decided to make them permanent.

• Local business and networking events were severely impacted by the pandemic. However, there is a great community spirit in Dacorum and some events continued remotely, thus enabling DCT to maintain our profile. We were also invited to give presentations to three of our local donors, Hemel Hempstead Rotary, Berkhamsted Rotary and Caritas, Hemel Hempstead.

• A key priority was to raise funds for staff salaries and emergency items for escalating client numbers. Our grants officer greatly exceeded our expectations, securing grants contributing to salaries and additional resources including emergency energy and supermarket vouchers, beds, white goods, bedding and kitchen starter packs. Throughout the year, the grants officer used quarterly analysis figures to monitor emerging trends to target specific funds, e.g. rising demand for emergency energy vouchers.

• In addition to our day-to-day work supporting local people in crisis, DCT provides financial grants for local voluntary organisations who give specialist support to disadvantaged groups in Dacorum. This endorses our fundamental belief in contributing to a safer, healthier local community. During a period when social networks for young people were in turmoil, DCT supported two projects:

 Transitions UK: DCT contributed towards set up costs for a Dacorum hub for the Aspire Project, a mentoring project to prevent young people at risk of drifting into crime.

 St Albans Road Community Project: DCT paid for paint and brushes for a group of young people with complex needs to refurbish two community benches

ANNUAL FUNDRAISING EVENTS

As a direct result of the pandemic DCT was unable to host our three regular annual fundraising events. However, DCT took part in two local events via Zoom:

• A Community Action Dacorum (CAD) quiz evening

GRANTS AND DONATIONS

DCT is extremely grateful for all the grants and donations received throughout the year from a wide range of benefactors in recognition of DCT’s ability to make a swift and positive impact on the lives of local people in a period of acute emergency.

The trustees express their thanks to our funders, including:

Dacorum Borough Council

Hertfordshire County Council Hertfordshire Community Foundation Hertfordshire Public Health Co-operative Foundation Luton and Bedfordshire Community Fund National Lottery Tesco Covid Fund

SUMMARY

This was an extraordinary year. Through their sustained hard work and commitment the staff of DCT met and overcame numerous challenges so as to enable the Trust to fulfil its primary aim of providing practical support for local people in crisis.

•As an independent charity, DCT was able to swiftly adapt and implement new ways of working to ensure continuity of service to its clients.

•Remote working has been a huge success and enabled DCT to meet many unprecedented challenges during the pandemic. By the end of the first lockdown in July 2020, DCT was well equipped to work remotely and deliver the same high-level service to a 93.6% annual increase of clients.

•Much of the success for this year is due to the outstanding performance of the DCT team, who have shown the utmost dedication, kindness and commitment to ensuring that local people in crisis were supported during a difficult and uncertain year.

DCT is emerging from the 2020-21 reporting period with alternative and more effective operating systems in place and is well prepared to deal with any unexpected challenges or restrictions in the coming year.
