## **CHAPEL-EN-LE-FRITH MOBILE PHYSIOTHERAPY SERVICE** 

## **CHAIR’S REPORT** 

## **FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024** 

Chapel Mobile Physio continues to go from strength to strength. But we do still need your support. Our service is needed more than ever. We are an aging population. The focus is all on caring for people at home. Because that’s mainly where people want to be. As a result many local Care Homes are now closing. 

We now have more referrals from the Hope Valley and Hayfield, and Steve (our physio) is working harder than ever, as he is now full time. Which does cost more money. Just to note, you need a referral from a doctor to access our service. Our waiting lists for physio isn’t very long which is where we differ from the NHS. If you need treatment longer than six weeks you will receive it, which is also where we differ from the NHS. People really value our service and the feedback we collect is great. Life without mobility is very difficult. 

Please spread the word to family and friends about our wonderful service. If you are able to come and help out in whatever way you can. That would be great. 

Last but not least, I would like to thank all our supporters and donors, without you none of this would be possible.

## **REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES - CONTINUED** 

**FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024** 

## **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.

- The charity is run by its Executive Committee, which consists of: 

- the officers of the charity; 

- one representative from each rural High Peak Parish from which a nomination has been received; 

- two representatives from the Council of the Borough of High Peak; and 

- up to six co-opted representatives of the rural Parishes of the High Peak who have knowledge and experience enabling them to make a valued contribution to the Committee, elected annually at the Annual General Meeting. 

At least one and up to three Medical Advisers, who are suitably qualified, are appointed annually at the Annual General Meeting to advise the Executive Committee on medical matters.

## **REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES - CONTINUED** 

## **FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024** 

## **STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT (continued)** 

## **Risk management** 

The Executive Committee identifies and reviews the risks to which the charity is exposed to ensure appropriate controls are in place. 

## **Safeguarding** 

We are committed to safeguarding the wellbeing of vulnerable service users. We ensure this through robust recruitment checks, appropriate training and clear procedures for reporting any concerns. 

## **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** 

Our service continues to be the provision of physiotherapy treatment in the home and related support for older residents of the rural High Peak. Derbyshire County Council is encouraging older people to continue to live independently in their own home and we provide an essential service supporting older residents in the rural high Peak. 

Steve Davidson has completed his second full year as our Physiotherapist, and we continue to receive high praise and amazing feedback from our service users. The move to a full time position from April 2023 has enabled him to provide many more appointments, as reported in the Physiotherapist’s report on pages 6. 

## **Community Access** 

We have started a Community Access Project where our Physiotherapist visits social group meetings and is available to talk to elderly residents about minor physical concerns they may have. This Community Access encourages older residents to seek advice at an earlier stage and enable them to take more preventative action before problems progress. 

## **Fundraising activities** 

As well as our annual spring and autumn coffee mornings, we held a Carnival Family Fun day with local charity Stage 4 Deserves More. Our Treasurer has organised another RHS garden outing, and we have received sponsorship money from two fundraisers. We have continued to be well supported by local Councils, businesses, groups and individuals, to whom we are extremely grateful for their donations, especially during such difficult times.

## **REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES - CONTINUED**

## **FINANCIAL REVIEW** 

## **Reserves policy** 

The charity updated its reserves policy during the year to reflect changes in its obligations to its employee and patients. 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. 

In order to ensure continuity of service at the highest level, sufficient cash shall be kept in the bank accounts as designated reserves. The amount shall be determined as being equal to 12 months’ salary costs as this is the amount considered necessary to: 

- a) Demonstrate financial stability to funders and secure alternative long-term funding should existing sources of income become unavailable. 

- b) Provide confidence and employment security to existing and potential employees in order to recruit and maintain staff of the highest calibre. 

## **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 8. 

## **Investment policy and objectives** 

All funds are kept in instant access bank accounts. 

## **FUTURE DEVELOPMENTS** 

## **Holiday and sick leave cover** 

The charity had intended to take on an additional part time physiotherapist during the year to ensure continuity of the provision of treatment during periods of staff absence, but we have not been successful in many of our grant applications and have therefore not been able to raise the funding to do this. This remains a target achievement for the future once funds allow. 

## **Fundraising** 

Fundraising throughout the voluntary sector is becoming more and more challenging, and we have failed to meet our reserves target this year. We will be working hard in the following months to raise the money to replenish our reserves and continue to provide the full-time service we are committed to.

## **MOBILE PHYSIOTHERAPIST’S REPORT** 

## **FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024** 

Another fantastic year! 

2023/24 was my second year in post and has been one of consolidation and progressive development. The referrals have continued to flow consistently in, and the service has been working to capacity throughout the year, with an average waiting time of 1-2 weeks. As recorded in last year's report we have developed a good working relationship with Evelyn Medical Centre in the Hope Valley, and now we have also expanded our services west, and accept patients from Arden House Medical Centre in Hayfield. 

My working hours have been increased this year, and I now work full-time for the service. This increase in hours is reflected by a proportionate increase in patient numbers seen (evidenced by figures supplied below in this report). 

In common with previous years the caseload is varied, and includes a range of musculo-skeletal disorders, neurological conditions and some post-operative rehabilitation. Falls prevention /management is also a common reason for referral. We are accepting an increasing number of patients from care homes, so management of issues occurring subsequent to dementia is often an important consideration. As always, we adopt a holistic approach and, in addition to mainstream physiotherapy, seek to ensure that additional psychological strategies are employed as appropriate to engender a positive outlook and hopeful vision of the future. Examples of this might include breathing exercises to aid relaxation, reframing of challenges, or visualisation techniques. Feedback continues to reflect extremely high overall patient satisfaction. 

On several occasions during the year we have teamed up with venues such as Footsteps in Whaley Bridge and volunteer groups based at the Methodist Church in Chapel to offer drop-in advice sessions. These have been popular and further sessions are planned for the coming months. 

The service offered by Medequip (with regards to supplying items of equipment) is invaluable, and as I have become more familiar with the local area, I have been able to increasingly refer on to other agencies such as the befriending service and the social prescribing team. The rich support network offered both by health and social services, and other charities and volunteer groups across the High Peak is impressive and allows us to continue to offer a flexible and unique approach to the provision of physiotherapy. 

Patient statistics for the year are as follows:

Mandatory CPD requirements have all been fulfilled, and I have undertaken training in various meditation techniques which can be adapted to help patients in some cases. We have also worked hard together to update a wide range of policies and procedures relating to data protection and lone-working to maintain full compliance with professional standards. 

I anticipate to coming year to be another one of consolidation. As stated above, we are currently running to capacity, and to expand the service further would possibly run the risk of compromising the nature of the intervention that we are able to offer. From the feedback received, maintaining the service currently offered is worthwhile indeed. 

Finally I would like to take this opportunity to thank the committee for their considerable administrative and professional support, without which I would not be able to work effectively, and the local surgeries, all of whom are a great pleasure to work with.

## **CHAPEL-EN-LE-FRITH MOBILE PHYSIOTHERAPY SERVICE** 

## **TREASURER’S REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024** 

Less than 25% of the running costs of this charity are covered by our NHS grant so the voluntary grants and donations we receive are vital to the running of the service. The majority of the funds raised are used to cover the employment costs of the physiotherapist with a salary increase in line with NHS pay scales We have provided a £10,000 interest free loan to support the physiotherapist in purchasing a reliable vehicle which is essential for his work in this dispersed rural area. This is being repaid by deduction from salary. We made a conscious decision to change our reserves policy which previously included an amount to cover the potential redundancy costs of the last long-term employed physiotherapist. This gave us the confidence to increase the physiotherapists hours to full time to meet increasing demand. As always, we strive to minimise administration costs but have purchased some items of equipment such as an NHS encrypted laptop to allow confidential recording of patient records without the need for paperwork. This assists us in complying with NHS data protection requirements. We also purchase small items of equipment to supply to service users such as, for example, a knee brace. 

Our fundraising activities include local coffee mornings which are well supported and allow us to publicise the service. We ran a coach outing to RHS Bridgewater and an onboard raffle and again a captive audience allowed us to publicise the service. We receive positive feedback from service users many of whom choose to make a donation to the service. Our local parish councils and individual councillors also provide support and local businesses as detailed at the end of this report. Most of our income comes from the time consuming and tireless efforts of our 2 secretaries making applications to voluntary grant giving bodies and we thank these organisations for their generosity. High Peak CVS and Foundation Derbyshire have been very supportive of our work and the committee have also been able to identify and attend training to support our work such as safeguarding and applying for grants. 

We thank all our supporters for their generosity which enable our trustees, committee and physiotherapist to continue to provide this invaluable service.

**INDEPENDENT EXAMINER’S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF THE CHAPEL-EN-LE-FRITH MOBILE PHYSIOTHERAPY SERVICE (CHARITY NO 500497) ON THE ACCOUNTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024** 

I report to the trustees on my examination of the accounts of the above charity (“the Service”) for the year ended 31 March 2024. 

## **Responsibilities and basis of report** 

As the charity trustees of the Service, you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 (“the Act”). 

I report in respect of my examination of the Service’s accounts carried out under section 145 of the 2011 Act and in carrying out my examination, I have followed the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act. 

## **Independent examiner’s statement** 

I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination which gives me cause to believe that in, any material respect:

The Committee was again able to run our usual two coffee mornings, but our Spring morning was in April rather than March so only the funds raised from the October coffee morning are included in these accounts. As well as having a bric-a-brac table at our coffee mornings, we also raised funds by selling selected donated items online. 

We raised money on a market stall during our awareness campaign “Falls Fortnight” and held a joint event with another local charity “Stage 4 Deserves More” at the Chapel Carnival in June. Two supporters undertook sponsored events for us this year, from which we also received Gift Aid, and we now have a JustGiving page for future fundraisers. 

Our Treasurer, Judith Aizlewood, organised a very successful outing to the RHS Garden Bridgewater in Salford but was not able to host her annual summer garden party due to bad weather. 

We would like to thank everyone who has supported us through the High Peak Community Lottery. Tickets can be purchased at www.highpeakcommunitylottery.co.uk/support/chapel-en-le-frith-mobile-physiotherapy-service.

We received £1,200 from a charitable trust to purchase an NHS laptop for our physiotherapist. This means he can now directly update most of our service users’ patient records to the NHS, saving a significant amount of administration time and freeing up time for more appointments. 

During the year we received £500 to help support those who are struggling financially as a result of the recent the cost of living increases. While large items of equipment can be prescribed on the NHS, smaller items need to be purchased, and this grant enabled us to provide high quality specific equipment to service users. The initial project was so successful we have raised an additional £777 to be able to continue with this project.
