This business year saw the first 6- month review of the Welcome Me project. This project is a group session for people living with memory difficulties (no formal diagnosis required) and someone who cares about them, to come together for cognitively stimulating activities which help to maintain independence, a sense of self- worth and help avoid crisis. The first six months had been a great success and after review we increased the 2 hour session to include an hour afterwards for people to enjoy a packed lunch together if they wished.Because there was a waiting list for the group, a second session was set up to accommodate on a Tuesday morning based on the same plan as the Wednesday mornings. This too became full quite quickly.Talks were delivered this year to community groups to give them a better understanding of what dementia is and how to live well with the disease. The local WI, a fellowship group at a local church, a scout group and the Cheshire and Warrington Carers trust were some of the main groups to benefit.The hot food van, GIFT Vantastic has been put into storage until such times as there is capacity to find profitable opportunities to trade.GIFT Cafe Puddington continues to be a focal part of the business with regards to community engagement. The Supervisor changed once more after the other left work to care full time for a family member. The new Supervisor is a great asset, has lots of experience and has created food platters for families having small parties for people living in the local care homes. She played the Last Post on Remembrance Sunday for cafe customers and the residents of the local residential and Nursing care homes.This year the cafe hosted the first return visit of the Brums & Buns, a collection of vintage and unusual cars and their drivers. The event went well, with the community coming out in droves to take a look at and chat to the drivers.We also started a monthly event where another local CIC Hip ‘n’ Harmoney bring their Ukulele players the 64 N’Ukes to the cafe to sing and entertain people. They bring their collection tins and listeners donate as they feel to the group who use it to further their own services or collect on behalf of other local charities.Building on last year’s success, the cafe was used again by a local lady who teaches people the art of crocheting on several occasions.Several other organisations such as Amber Button CIC and a parent & Toddler leader tried to set up groups in the cafe space but sadly none lasted more than a month before withdrawing.The newest session is a weekly games morning where anyone can come along and choose from the selection of board and quiz games available.The cafe continues to provide volunteer placements for adults with additional needs who benefit from learning about catering, have training around safer food and customer service.The group run by volunteers in Winsford (GIFT New Beginnings) has reduced the amount of walks and interactions this year. They are not looking to engage new people but rather trying to support those who came together because of the groups. They still go for walks and meet up in local cafes.The Independent Transfer of Care Coordinator (IToCC) roles in The Countess of Chester and Leighton Hospital were re-shaped this year when the IToCC for Leighton wanted to reduce her hours. There were two part time roles in Leighton and the same full time roll in the Countess. These staff continue to bend and flex within the confines of the role to help as many patients as possible to leave hospital and go on to the most appropriate Care/Nursing Home and /or home with care and support. The hospitals continue to be under great pressure and these roles often provide unofficial advocacy for people with memory difficulties who may have no family to support them.New staff and volunteers in all areas of work continue to attend Dementia Awareness sessions to ensure they have an understanding of the disease and know to be patient and kind both in and out of work.
All Welcome Me members were asked for their thoughts about areas of improvement. The only thing mentioned was to make them longer! This was acted upon.Strangely, one of the positives noted was that the group member’s don’t have to decide what happens. The carers who spend 24 hours per day planning and making decisions for two, like coming along and being told what to do for the time they are there.The customers in the cafe vote with their feet. If we are providing something which appeals to them, they attend in numbers. If they are not interested, they don’t and we do not repeat the event.The Commissioners for the IToCC service are given monthly reports stating how many patients have been seen and the outcomes of our interventions. They use the information to plan for the future.Patients/family/hospital staff and care providers are all asked to complete questionnaires 6 monthly. Returns are low which generally means they are happy with the service. All of those returned qualify that.The Directors meet regularly to discuss the direction of the company and the financial situation. Opportunities are discussed as well as any obvious threats so that contingency plans are in place for events as they occur.
The total value of Directors' Remuneration is £33044
No transfer of assets other than for full consideration
