CHAPEL-EN-LE-FRITH MOBILE PHYSIOTHERAPY SERVICE
CHAIR’S REPORT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021
Well, what a year it has been. If the pandemic has taught us anything, it is that neighbourliness and community spirit are just as important, or even more important, than ever.
I feel we have demonstrated this in the way we have managed our Service. Hours have been increased, we have supported the local Hospice, and we worked well with Thornbrook Surgery.
Chapel Mobile Physio are recognized as being an essential service to help with the effects of the pandemic and we received over £7,000 of Covid Relief Funding. We have been very well supported by local business and are now on a sound financial footing, although we can’t be complacent and need continued support to help more elderly people live independently in their own home. We must make sure we are easily accessible.
Chapel Mobile Physio would like to thank all our supporters, and we look forward to getting back into our Community with our fundraising events. Onwards and upwards!

STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT
Governing document
The charity is controlled by its constitution, as amended on 20 November 2019.
Recruitment and appointment of new trustees
The trustees regularly review the skills, experience and knowledge of the Board in order to identify when a new trustee needs to be appointed. The existing trustees decide the attributes which are needed in a new trustee and look to recruit from people already known to them. A suitable candidate is chosen and approached to be invited to join the Board. Once the position has been accepted, the new trustee is appointed and recorded with the Charity Commission.
Induction and training of new trustees
New trustees are expected to have a good understanding of the aims and objectives of the charity and its governing document. They are provided with a copy of the Charity Commission Guidance “The essential trustee: what you need to know, what you need to do” and are given additional support as needed so that they can properly perform their duties as a trustee.

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES - CONTINUED
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021
OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES
Objectives and aims
The charity's objects as stated in its constitution are to promote, establish and maintain a mobile physiotherapy service in Parishes of the High Peak, as selected by the Executive Committee.
Significant activities
On the recommendation of a Medical Practitioner or as otherwise agreed by a majority of the Executive Committee on the advice of the Medical Adviser and Physiotherapist, physiotherapy treatment shall be made available in the home to elderly residents. Treatment is free of charge.
Public benefit
The trustees are aware of the guidance for the public benefit requirement in its charitable objectives, the running of the charity and its reporting responsibilities and have taken it into account when making a decision to which the guidance is relevant. A summary of the main activities undertaken by the charity to carry out its charitable purposes for the public benefit is included within this report. The trustees confirm that they have complied with their duty to have due regard to the commission’s public benefit guidance when exercising any powers or duties to which the guidance is relevant.
Volunteers
The members of the Executive Committee all provide their services for running the charity free of charge. The charity is supported by additional volunteers at its fundraising events.
ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE
Charitable activities
From March 2020 our service was restricted in line with Government guidelines that face-to-face contact with patients should be avoided where possible. This meant that initially home visits were put on hold, but we successfully rolled out an enhanced telephone consultation service which was very well received and helped our patients keep active. Our patients are elderly and many have been self-isolating at home on their own, and we recognise the importance of keeping as active as possible for both physical and mental good health.
During the early stages of the COVID-19 restrictions our physiotherapist supported the local hospice.
A summary of the charity’s activities during the year is given in the Mobile Physiotherapist’s Report on page 6.
Fundraising activities
The charity was not able to hold any fundraising events during the year, but some items which had been donated for the for the raffles, tombolas and bric-a-brac tables were sold at a pop up shop and via social media.
We have continued to be well supported by local businesses, groups and individuals, to whom we are extremely grateful for their donations, especially during such difficult times.
FINANCIAL REVIEW
Reserves policy
The charity has obligations to its employee and patients. To fulfil its obligations as an employer, an amount equal to the cost of redundancy is kept in a designated reserve. In order to make sure all patients receive their full course of treatment, an amount equal to three months’ running costs is also set aside in a designated reserve. This is monitored throughout the year and adapted as circumstances change. Donations received specifically for any activity which has not yet been spent are set aside as restricted reserves.

FINANCIAL REVIEW (continued)
Financial activities
Details of the financial activities of the charity during the year, including principal funding sources, how expenditure has supported the key objectives of the charity and the financial position at the year end is included in the Treasurer’s Report on page 7.
Investment policy and objectives
All funds are kept in instant access bank accounts.
FUTURE DEVELOPMENTS
COVID-19
From July 2020 we increased our service provision hours by a third to meet the increasing demand arising from the effects of the pandemic and we intend to maintain this capacity for the foreseeable future. Following a COVID-19 risk assessment, face to face home visits are offered if safe to do so. Alternatively, telephone call consultation and support will be offered. PPE guidelines are adhered to.
Hope Valley
The service statistics have shown that there is a higher volume of referrals concentrated in the Chapel-en-le-Frith and Whaley Bridge areas than in the Hope Valley. Our service is available throughout the rural Parishes of the High Peak, and we have been granted funding to increase our service in the Hope Valley. Our aim of expanding our service and treat seven or eight people from this area has not yet been possible due to COVID-19 restrictions but we hope to do this in the next year.
Safer living in your own home
With grants from Derbyshire County Council Falls Prevention and the Derbyshire Police and Crime Commissioner’s Vulnerability Fund we have been able to provide patients with small items of equipment to help prevent falls and spend time with the vulnerable. At this time when people are starting to return to more active living and integrating back into their communities, we recognise additional risks for our patients and are pleased to be able to pass on some valuable advice.

MOBILE PHYSIOTHERAPIST’S REPORT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021
Caseload
Patient referrals from GPs include patients with a variety of medical problems, these include Musculoskeletal, chronic pain, mobility and falls, rheumatological and neurological conditions may also feature. Some patients may have cognitive impairment and dementia. A holistic assessment is made in order to best meet the needs of each individual patient. With their consent a treatment plan with realistic and achievable goals is agreed. This may also involve referral to other voluntary and medical agencies.
The past year has been like no other. The onset of the pandemic necessitated a telephone consultation input in accordance with professional and national Covid-19 guidelines. Input in a volunteer capacity with Blythe Hospice was carried out initially. Once guidelines allowed, face to face consultations resumed on a case by case risk assessment basis. Patients were much relieved to be offered this again. PPE guidelines have been followed and updated. Most patients have been affected by the reduced opportunities to get out and about, this has impacted negatively on their mobility and social contacts. Hopefully the next year will be less isolating for them, particularly those who live alone.

Continuing Professional Development
This includes membership of special interest groups including Physiotherapy Pain Association, Agile–physios working with older people, and interactive CSP. All mandatory training and self study has been online due to covid restrictions.
Thanks from myself and grateful patients go to the committee for their resourcefulness and resilience in keeping the service running. The new ideas in fund raising, and communication have made a huge difference in allowing the service to continue in the past year.

TREASURER’S REPORT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021
Due to Covid restrictions our ability to hold local fund raising events has been restricted. Despite this, largely due to the efforts of our chair and secretary, we have been able to increase the level of service provision to meet additional identified needs. Our NHS grant has been uplifted by 2.8% and applications for funding to public entities and trusts have enabled us to remain financially secure. Local parish councils and businesses have continued to support us and donations from service users have also been a valuable source of support.
Apart from private donors who are unnamed for reasons of confidentiality we have been generously supported by Bamford, Chapel, Chinley, High Peak Borough, Derbyshire County Council and the United Charities fund, also Derbyshire Voluntary Action, Foundation Derbyshire, High Peak CVS and Hope Show. Businesses supporting us have included the Trike Guy and Classic Moto, patrons of The Cell, the Co-op, Tesco, Breedon Cement and the NFU, and we have also received grants from the Lennox Hannay Charitable Trust, the Hospital Saturday Fund, and Localgiving and the People’s Postcode Lottery Magic Little Grants.
We continue to strive to minimise administration costs which are less than 1% of total operating costs. Moving both our accounts to TSB and using online banking has enable us to operate more efficiently and our chair’s hosting of our social media platforms has given us a route to share information, facilitate donations and thank our donors.
We have written to surgeries who are able to refer patients enclosing information leaflets to ensure that they are all fully aware of what we offer and to ensure equity across our area of provision. Our aim to ensure that our service users can remain safely and as independently as possible in their own homes has never been more important in avoiding or shortening hospital admissions.
Thanks to our Laytons accountants and to our accounts examiner, T J Mourne.
