GIFT Cafe Puddington and GIFT Vantastic Due to personal difficulties for the Service Development Manager/Director, Caroline Hutton, the decision was made by the Directors to pass the Cafe, its assets and operation back to the Landlord, Chapel House Care. The transfer took place in June 2023. The group run by volunteers in Winsford (GIFT New Beginnings) has reduced its activities further due to the health of the Volunteers. The group now only meet monthly when the weather is dry. They meet for walks and for teas/coffee and cake afterwards. This group is not really led anymore since all participants play an equal share in organising and attending. The Independent Transfer of Care Coordinator (IToCC) roles in The Countess of Chester and Leighton Hospital were not put up for re-tender as originally agreed with the local authority Cheshire West and Chester. After extending the contract for 6 months in order to go for retender, they then reflected and decided to put the money towards other contracts. The three staff were made redundant but help and support was given to them to find new employment which each of them did within weeks of the termination of their contracts. Welcome Me Welcome Me has continued to thrive and has supported 70 people this business year. The groups are for people with mild to moderate memory difficulties/dementia and someone who cares about them, to try to help them maintain their independence, to have fun and to find support from the volunteers and their peers. Each group follows a similar timetable of chat, movement to music and activity but each group’s specific achievements depends upon the characters of the members and where they are on their journey.Tuesday and Wednesday mornings continue to thrive and the addition of a Thursday afternoon session in September after feedback suggesting mornings were not feasible for many, has resulted in a steady increase in attendance. May saw the introduction of the Gardening Club on a Tuesday Afternoon, though this has not proven to be as popular as expected. The gardening club was introduced to try and appeal to individuals who may not want to participate in crafting etc. The future of these groups was assured for another year when The National Lottery Community Fund provided grant funding to cover the core costs so that expansion could take place. We have been lucky enough to receive donations from collections made at the funeral’s of some of our members this year. Those donations have allowed us to purchase more activity items and upgrade our refreshments to include chocolate biscuits! Our numbers of volunteers are growing to help support the number of groups held and there are currently 8 dedicated individuals who help out every week.
All Welcome Me members are asked for their thoughts about areas of improvement. Those on the waiting list asked for more slots, others asked for afternoon availability both of which we accommodated. Strategists seek our opinion and that of our members, which we share freely- with permission. Volunteers are gathered every 6 months to create bonds, suggest plans for the future and to seek advice and thoughts from. 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. Community Engagement Whenever there is an opportunity to engage with professionals, the public and potential new members, we take them. This business year we are participants in the Wirral Dementia ,Strategy group, The Cheshire & Merseyside Dementia Action group, the local Older People Group and members of the local Social Prescribing meetings and the Local Voluntary Action. This helps us to feedback strategies from the North West to the people who it will effect and to ensure the thoughts and feelings of those individuals helps to direct those strategies. We have delivered information sessions in the community in collaboration with other community organisations, had information tables at events aimed at carers across two local authorities and been a guest speaker on the local Hospital Radio. Our facebook page continues to recruit new followers meaning we share all of our good work with many people both local and further afield.
The total value of Directors' Remuneration is £18,332
No transfer of assets other than for full consideration
