Company activities and impact

The company has continued to support carers in the Liverpool/Merseyside district. From the ongoing research we gathered last year, our focus has been to continue supporting the carer with the substantial evidence demonstrating this in turn supports the cared for person. We have continued to signpost and guide carers to the appropriate support services available to them to meet their caring role needs. The support continues to target three key areas – before being a carer, during and post being a carer. Before being a carer – The company conducts activities and events to promote raising awareness around dementia, in particular targeting the BAME communities but not exclusively During being a carer – Supporting the current needs of the carer, providing a social environment where people can make friends and reduce their risk of isolation, activities to reduce risk of depression, respite from their care duties, reminiscence to promote and engage conversations After being a carer – The company promotes health and wellbeing activities to post carers to sustain a healthy lifestyle We created collaborate with the local council, several Liverpool based charity organisations that support cared for, carers, this has emanated in further research projects resulting in successful joint funding awards. This funding has enabled the company to relaunch the vibrant fortnightly Wednesday Activity Club that benefits a mixed group of BAME and other carers and cared for persons living with dementia. However, during lockdown, the club was suspended, and we visited all members door-to-door on an individual basis. As a result, we increased our volunteer team to cope with the additional workload. We have also increased our membership in the group by 50%, stretching our staff and financial resources and a substantial increased catering costs. We supply traditional cultural healthy meals and refreshments. Promotion of healthy lifestyle with physical exercise classes. This contributes to a more sustainable business model for delivering the company aims. The funding has also provided the means to invest in our volunteers to become an accredited physical trainer now providing the exercise classes for the Activity Club. We have collaborated putting on events to support carers and the people they care for: The modest funding has provided means for a moderate level of marketing, that opened opportunities to more guest speakers addressing the group with information about carer support services from housing needs, legal, health, social events, and the arts. The impact to the community is the fortnightly Activity Club has realised an attendee growth by 50%. People have a formal social environment to meet other carers and the people they are caring for. They are engaged in tips and guidance to promote a better Health and Wellbeing lifestyle. To date everything has been done with volunteers and good will, going forward the company plans to create paid roles within the organisation by further funding bids, to develop a more sustainable business model.

Consultation with stakeholders

There are a number of services offering support to people being cared for, however much less evident are the services for looking after the carer themselves. The CIC has been about restoring that hope and wellbeing factor as a carer by supporting them. The stakeholders are the actual carers and their families, and they are continually consulted on a quarterly basis to gain feedback on the impacts the company objectives are having. We evaluate our work, using reflective practice, to understand what worked and what didn't work and build on successes for future activities. Every quarter we repeat this process building in an evaluation of past events and gauging their success from the feedback given. Adapting future events to take on board the feedback. We capture feedback through questionnaires, open formal verbal feedback sessions, fortnightly suggestion box. The company has achieved a good level of progress key things being: Growth of attendees, positively impacting more carers in the community Decisive collaboration with other charities increasing projects supporting carers from the BAME communities living with dementia Successful funding awards Company sustainability actively promoting and training volunteers
