Putting people at the heart Jacob, a person we support in Ledbury talks aboui his Covid-19 experience. how he's been keeping himself busy and his hope for 2021 Let's start at the very beEinning, March 2020- well no. December 2019 is when it first started, we were informed of this virus called Covid-19 originating in China with many cases swiftly occurring. In March 2020. it had spread Iobally and so we went home to our loved ones for the f1rst national lockdown. When all of us went home we had a big Morrisons and Aldi shop to ensure we were fully stocked for the weeks ahead. My brother and I returned to Ledbury in September 2020 and made the most of lockdown with the help of the team at Walsingham Support by doing activitie5 such as Gardening. Math5. En81ish. Bushcraft and Woodwork. During all these activities we continued to social distance. The second lockdown had us all 5elf-isolating in our room5 for 10 days. We had io have our meals in our rooms and be distani from one another. During Christmas, some people siayed. and others went to iheir famil(s homes. Isolalion was Surprisingly ok. I found it to be a blessing in disguise. How have I coped? I have no idea, bul I know I've done brillianily. It feels Bood to be out of isolation and have more freedom and èlihough Covid-19 cases may be rising, we continue to stay safe by distancin& washing our hand5 and wearing our masks. It may be the third lockdown. but we will hopefully receive our vaccines soon, 2020 has been a dramatic year but I have hope for 2021. 1 simply cannot wait for all this to be over.
ws Public Benefit The Trustees confirm that in developing and reviewing the strategic plan, objeciives and actfvlties of Walsingham Support consideration has been given to the public benefit guidance issved by the Charity Commission. All of our attivities are irt support of our objects: The relief of those who ore in choritoble need through the provision of housing. core ond support service5, primorilyfor those who hove le¢7rning disabilities. but G150for those with otherforms of disobility lincluding physicol, mentol. sensory and de9enerotive di5¢7bilities. autism Spectrum disorders ond broin injuries) and including those with multiple disobilitie5.' We believe th3t our work in support of these object5 clearly delivers identifiable benefit to our beneficiaries in providing them with ihe support they require. in some cases at the most basic level to survNe, to lead full and rewarding lives. For the wider public the benefits lie in increased engagement and interaciion. By enabling individua15 wilh disabilities to play an active, valued. and productive pari in their local communities we not only enhance their live5. but help increase understandin& tolerance and inclusiveness in the wider society which benefits all. The vast majoriiy of the funding for our seNices comes frorn statutory authoiitie5. 8eneficiaries are subject lo means iesting by local authorities to determine whether and what level of contribution they are required to make lowards their support. However, Ihis assessment is conducted so that no-one is refused access to our services on financial grounds. No private benefit is derived from the artivities of the charity by either the Trustees or parties related to them. Details of any reimbursed expenses are set out in notes to the financial statement5.
ws Innoi'atiijii My covid-19 story began like many others while I wa5 on hollday in mid-march In Tenerife. Wlthln 3 days ol arrSving, Spain entered lockdown and we were conlined to our hglel room. I gol to know thc balwny very well. Duiin£ ihis same week. I received news about my daughier, Jess. Jess has Oown's Syndrome and has lived in a Walsingham Support SeThI [01 3 years. I was informed that to Stop ihÈ spread of the virus and minimize ihe risk to individuals Supported jess's residential horne would no longcr be accepting Yisr(ors. Although I suspected this would happen, knowing and experiencinB It. are two eompleiely dilfereni thin85. IV5 a very vulnerable and scary place lo be as a mother but as the molher of a child who is vulnerable, hcalih wise? It's even more difficuli. l openly admit to CrylWl8. my heart was breakin8 that I wouldn'i be ablè to see Jess for several months. Facetime and phone calls were noi the same as and held no comparison to seeing Jess. It was a constaTht balancfing act, staying upbeat and posilive lor Jess de5Plte the fear. anxiety and 5adne5$ swirling internally. Once I finally retumed home, I had to gelf-i501ate for a week. after showing no symptoms ol covid-19,1 wa5 able to retuin to WOTk. Afler sell-isolating myself. I had a gllmpse inio how difficuli ihe people we support were feeling and coping, Within a ouple of days. I knew I needed to think ouisSde thè box on how to suppoit ihe emoiional and mental well-being of the people we 5UPPQrt. I drew inspiiation from the fact they lived in ihe countryside and decided to use this to our advantage. I managed to find 6 golf club and soft balls from a ball pil. with this we went to the fiEld 2 mins Irom where David lived and 5UPPQrted him to hit the balls towards a mound of earth. l also sourced some Top Trump football caids as he wa5 missin6 hi5 Soccer 6 and live lootball. the idea being he could tnake his own football teams up and pick out scores for them. l also asked him lo pick a card from thc pile and helped him research the player online. I've helped support him with his faiih. helping him watch and listen to sermon5 online. on the iPad. l ihink it's iwnportanl especoally at 3 lime like this when morale tan be low, a liitle failh can do a world of good. I work to make Sure thal the people we support are mentally stimulated while they can't actess their Usual aaivlties such as day cenire or sèe iheir friends. Lisa. anoiher person we 5UPPOrt. and I have gone on some wonderful nature hunts. We spot scarecrows. listen for different birds based on iheir song and recoBnise smells i.e., gra55, wild garlic, and various flowers. We've had some down days where thc people we suppori gtru8gle to undersiand. and are tearfvl, Scared. angry. I completely undeistand how they leÈl, I receive regular tcxls from GOV.UK for Jess and each one make5 me stop and tear up. instantly. However, once I leave my front door lor worl I leave those emoiions ihere and I work to reassure the people we support that iv5 ok lor them to feel ihis way. We cry it oul, talk li through and hug it out. My job is to see them through this period, io erisure they always find something positi¥e to l¢ok towards whether it be Ststcer 6 laniasy team, a takeaway, or a karaoke sesslon. In mid-April. I came down with a temperature and had to 5elf-isolaie again. My manager Kath, arranged for me to 80 and get tested. Arriwng at thè cÈntre was a weird 3nd confusing experience. I couldn't see or work out what the procedure was. After a lon8 wait. I was finally tesied, although an inva5Ne test. I knew it was nece$5ory for the people I support and my family. As I was being tested, I was mentally preparing mysèlf lor the result. If negative? Fantastic, I could 80 home to my family and go back io work to support Davkd and Lssa. If posltlve? I bee3n to think mentally 80 through all the ihings I'd put in place lor Jess, fuiure. whether I had properly prepared my family for the rc*les they needed to ploy for Jess. ensuring they knew her wishe5 and rights and would fight for them, the way I do. I had written letters lor èach of them. I wanted io make sure they had all the information they needed. My thouehls then went to my team, what if I had passed it onto them. what il I had passed it onto to the people I support? David and Lisa? Luckily the test carne back negative, and I was able to return to work 2 days later. When this is all ovcr and we reiurn to some semblance of noirnalily, I won't take the small thlng5 1SkÈ hue£lnB my child anymore. I'll embrace hcr and each day with whatever it fflay blin& knowing that I'm a stronger person.

ws Staying connecte For weeks. each Thursday at 2 pm, the pÈople we support, some of ourvolunteers and Rachel. one of our dedicated Operations and Development Managers from West Cumbria. jump on Zoom to sing, build friendships, and socialise. It is no Secret that loneliness is an issue that deeply affects the learnin8 disability comrnunity. research in a 2019 survey found that 24% of individuals with learnin8 disabilities idenlified as feeling lonely. The arrival of COVID.19 has done nothing to combat but instead has heightened il. Iys one of the reasons, this yearfs learnin8 disability week's theme wasThe Importance of Friendships During Lockdown. The group consists of individuals we support from across our northern services, from Middlesbrough to Carlisle. Each individual bringing along their personalities and energles to make the Zoom session what it is- a safe and fun space to socialise. Rachel has curated an online environment where the people we support feel free to be them5elves- they talk to one another about their week, ask ques(ions and Eet to know one another. During thi5 session, the group activity was karaoke la5 seen in image), each of the people we support had the opportunity to requesi a song. from ABBA to The Corrs, they sang along with each oiher, enjoying showing off their vocal ski115. They also practised a song by Celine Dion which they're learnin8 in Makaton. The Zoom se55ion5 also allow the people we support ro virtually meet the people therfve been wrtting to during lockdown. Additional, to the Zoom sessions, Rachel also set up a pen pal system for the people we support. Each week. Ihey write letters to each other. using a template created initially4 Io get the conversation going. they later learn enough about one another not to need a template. The sessions are also atiended by some of our incredible volunleer5. Charlotte who was recruiied by our Walsin ham Su ort Communi Solutions team for online activities joins every week. Charlotle a150 helps run the online well.being progrnm and nature watchers alon8 with the other volunteers recruited.

As always, our pro8res5 has been built on our 5 strategic priorities of Quality, Workforce. Growth. 018aiiisè1ionèl Oe¥elopinent & Ea£emenL Our growth coniinued as we saw our annual income from charitable activities increase from £27.2m to £28.0m. bein8 an 2.9% increase. From an organlsatlonal development perspective, we continued to invest in improving the quality of the support we provide threu8h the Corporate Setvices departrnents, namely Finance & Human Resources. A refocussin8 of the Finance & Commercial team into the specialist areas of receivables, payables, benefits, payroll, facilities & IT under the leadership and direction of a Director of Finance & Commercial is enabling us to improve how we manage this key busines5 area. The People & Engagement team has been restrucivred into a business partner model supporting collaborative partnership working across recruitment. employee relations, learning and development and engagement. The restructure commenced with a recruitment drive for the Director of People &
ws Enga8ement with subsequent team restructuring continuing followin8 this appointment. We continued working in partnershlp with Empower Housing Association to purchase independent accommodation for individuals to meet their personalised need5. This includes supporting individuals to move out of residenti31 care and h05Pltal settings into supported INing. For the individuals we suppori now. and in the future. this will ensure that we develop personalised accommodation solutions. To benefit both the long-term quality of our service provision and support Otganisa¢ional d•¥¢lopment. Covid restriction5 continued to place malerial limitations on actNity in relation to properties and reslricted those work5 to essential repairs and maintenance. Despite those continued challenges, we have manged io continue investment in our estate. We continued to maintain safe and '50cially dislanced. environmenis whilst also providing the best leve15 of care and Support l)0S5ible. Given the imrM)rtance of certain maiters, we did commence a fire door replacemeni project within our residential properties- this saw the 129 fire doors and accompanying remedial works replaced across our Services and offite5. On top of ihis critical refresh, we also saw the insiallation of two new boilers, multiple hoists, new commercial washers, and the replacemeni of flooring- all to ensure the people we support remain in a comfortable and up lo date facility. A number of planned decorations continued to be placed on hold, and we are hopeful that as restrICtn$ are lifted as we move into 2022. it will be safe to resume such important works. We have continued to invest in our IT infrastructure both in support of our overall ouèlity monitorinE Systems and also to enable the kvorklorce to have acce55 to communication in the most effecttve way, supporting them to do their job5 MO efficiently. Our focus on digital conlinues to be a central part of our nrganisatlgnal development wilh plans to launch a new learner management system providing a platfomi for en8aÈemenl in addition to the creation of bespoke learning pathways tailored to the workforce. To ensure the quality of the support we provide continues, we need to attract the best individuals to join Dur team while retaining our existing highly skilled and well.trained workforce. Walsingham Support employed 1.089 staff during the year. We coniinue to plan and manage the impact of the Nalional Living Wage and we have worked proactively with commissioners acro55 England & Wales to negotiate appropriate fees to support us in retainin8 and recruitin8 an effective and skilled workforce. Although our 7, Annual Conference could not take place due to restf ictions brought about by Covid-19 the work of the invofvement 8roups continued with two pilots: a newsletter project and using zoom meetings project launched and implemented throughoui the year. These events directly support our engagement and quality priorities through interactive workshops discu55inB managing mental health. tacklinE isolation. and preventing loneline55- platforms were provided for the individuals we support to be heard and io directly affect the fulure direction of the charity. Walsingham Suppon Community Solutions rapidly moved their entire service from face to face lo an online provision. We felt that it was vilal to ensure that the individuals we support continued to develop and retain their ski115 and maintain relationships with their peers as this was a service they could rely on when everything was changing around them. The staff worked through many difficult challenges to enable the Service to continue through Ihe use of technology ranging from online zoom session5. weekly digltal newsletter sessions, peer to peer friendship group5 on WhatsApp and the development of a community 501ulions app enabling the individuals we 5UPPOrt to connect virtually.
ws Involvement Group As the pandemic continued it became apparent that our 7 annual involvement conference normally held in October would not be able to go ahead. Togeiher we realised that it was more imperative than ever to find innovaiive ways to connect. In order to ensure virtual connection was meaningful we realised we needed to upskill the individuals we support to use virtual channels effectively, step forward to the Zoom meeting5 project. Relevant suppori siaff were asked to print off some commur)ication card5 for each group member so they could tell the meeting facilitator when they would like to talk, or when they wanted a person to slow down, speak up. etc. A 'How to Use Zoom. instruction sheer and an Easy Read Guide for Using Zoom were shared by the facilitator to promote full participation from the individuals we support. All four regional involvement Broups then came togeiher virtually and facilitated by Toni Vyse, Southern Facilitator. shared with each other an object to illustrate their activities during lockdown which others could also then try. Based on the success of virtual meeting5 It was agreed to develop a newsletter. The members of the involvement groups learned how to use the voting function on Zoom to select three iopics ihey ihought would be of m05t interest to their chosen audience. A5 the editorial process progressed the individuals we support developed skills in: • researching their chosen tOPiC5 * making choices and having opinions • listening and speaking out • editin8 and proof reading • thinking aboui how others would see the work • learning about hosting an online event • giving constructive feedback • leading to confidence building for members through showcasing co-production and inclusion durin8 an online event launching the newsletter to a wider audience which received great feedback. Flnancial Review The sector continues to operate in an environment of tight finances and COVID has continued to add additional challenges both operationally and financially. We are taking active step5 to overcome the challenge5. Mi5Statements relating lo previous accountlll8 periods were identified during the COUTse of preparing the financial 5tatement5. These misstatements resulted in the overstatement of the charit¢s total funds by £1.682k as at 31 March 2020 and by £1,654k as at 31 March 2019. The mi55tatements have been corrected via a prior period adjustment and restatement of the comparatwe amounts. which is detailed in note 7. Income Service income dropped by 1.0% to £28.Om. in 2020ni. This smèll drop w35 achieved mainly throu8h local authority uplifts and covid coniinuation policies durin8 the pandemic which offset the increased ¢osls due to the pandemic. Some of our services in Swansea were reallocated and so transferred io other providers as the Local Authority reshaped their support zone. Our income split is wilh 91% coming directly from commissioners and just under 9% from individual purchasers, contributions. grants, and benefits. Our total con501idated income is £29.2m, which was a drop of 10.7%. However, excluding the net a55et transfer from the acqui51tion transfer of Hoffman Foundation for Autism in 2019120 the group's unrestricted income dropped by 3.2% from £29.Om to £28.1m.
ws Restricte¢J Income increased substantially from £O.Im to £l.Im. mainly due to local authority grants relating to covid which was the spent on restricting the spread of the virus. personal protective equipment, and deep cleaning of services.

At the start of the 2020121 financial year, three grant funded properties were transferred from Walsingham Support's fixed assets to housing associations resuliing in a net C05t of E554k.

ws Going Concern The Truslees consider that based on normal operating circumstances there are no material uncertainties surrounding the oigani5atl0ll.5 ability to remain a going concern for the foreseeable future for at least 12 months from the approval of these accounts. However, the COVID 19 pandemic ha5 developed rapidly in 2020 and it is uncertain what impatt this will have In 2021. The resulting impact of the virus on the operations and measures taken by the government to contain ihe virus, as well as the impact on supporting highly vulnerable people, have negatively affected the 8roup's results in the 2020.21 period. The currently known impacts of COVID 19 on the 8roup's accounts are: A chanEe of support needs for individuals, either throu8h changes to social and community activities or delays in fillin8 residenlial occupancies, re5uliing in delays or changes to Ca contracted income A decline in Walsingham Support Commvnity Solutions trading income for the first 9 months of 2020 Compared with the same period in 2019 due to closure of the Forge Fach Community Centre and CrealNe Learnin8 in Ledbury during periods of enforced lockdown An increase in expenditure relatin8 to PPE products. cleaning, and other related Health & Safety needs A re5tructurin8 of staffing to ensure that Walsingham Support's expenditure meets the changes of income. resultinB in redundancy and related severance costs A significant restriction on the ability to recruit safely to fill staffing voids in care and support either as a substitule for slaff i501ating or to fill vacancies relating to contract hour changes These impacts have inevitably put addilional pre55ure5 on the 8roup's financial ability to react to the chan8ing operatin8 environment which Trustees have fully considered in respect of goin8 concern and in response to these matters the group has taken the following actions- we have made use of the government5 furlou8h scheme where appropriate we have reduced off ice accemmodation and travel Iwhere possible) including associated costs of meeting5, hotel. and subsistence. in order to manage our available cash reserve5 we have taken advantage of various government initiatives to support cash flow we have restruclured management and orEanisatiDnal overhead staffing to meet the needs of the group. whilst realising efficiencies with the use of new technology, working practices and processes we are taking active steps to realise funds from the sale of non.core properties
