This year we have continued to be specialist in supporting families living with Dementia. We have successfully manged to give respite to families and build positive relationships with the cared for, offering them some normality in their life. This has meant that families can care for their loved ones at home for longer This year we have increased supporting families in the child protection arena. We have continued to regularly donated baby items to local Childrens Services departments to help struggling families and have also linked with local baby banks to make donations to struggling families. We have recruited additional staff to this team to support the currently increasing referral and allow us to expand in this area We have donated 72 hours of free of charge advocacy to people who could not afford to access the service but benefitted from its result We have continued to support the local hospital with dementia events We have provided 50 hours of free pet therapy We have continued to provide a range of supporting services to the vulnerable people in the community to enhance their lives and to promote their independence and prevent social isolation. This includes spending time with people, arranging trips and sometimes accompanying them, helping with shopping, promoting and supporting with access to the community etc We have continued to ensure that our appointee clients receive the right benefits and also ensured other people in the community access their rights to benefits. We are a corporate appointee recognised by the Department for Work and Pensions. We have helped people to obtain a benefit they would otherwise not have claimed/received, This is a service we are currently considering whether to continue We have delivered therapeutic services to enhance the lives of people and to promote their wellbeing.

This had a massive impact on our business as the care homes we provided a large number of therapeutic visits to, either continue to provide their own activities as they did during lockdown and therefore never re-engaged us, or they were simply hit like us all, by financial restraints and so don’t have funding available for outside activities. The few we have left have dropped sessions dramatically – eg: weekly to monthly , twice weekly to monthly. We will be concentrating on rebuilding some of these services in 2026

The staff and our service users are all stakeholders. Service users can be either other professionals such as Solicitors or Social Work and Hospital Teams or people living in the community or in residential or nursing care. Staff meeting are held regularly where staff feedback on services and improvements are encouraged. Staff also have individual 1:1 monthly meetings Service users are visited regularly for feedback on service delivery and asked if any improvements can be made or if any other services could be added that would be of benefit. We also have feedback forms that are sent to service users and professionals or referrers. This information helps us to build up a profile of our users and their needs and how we can help people more effectively This year, again we have received no complaints and many positive testimonials about our staff and services
