TRUSTEES’ REPORT

The trustees are pleased to present their report with the accounts of the charity for the year ended December 31, 2015.

Charity

Charitable status

Harrow Churches Bereavement Visiting Scheme was founded by Harrow churches in 1981, to relieve the suffering and distress caused by bereavement among the residents of Harrow and the surrounding areas. It offers free support to all, regardless of religion, race, sexuality, disability, gender or age. The charity changed its name in November 2004 to Harrow Bereavement Care reflecting the wider representation of clients and members. In 2014 the charity became a Charitable Incorporated Organisation (CIO) with the name of Bereavement Care (charity number 1157002) indicating the wider geographical nature of the charity.

Charitable objective

The object of the CIO is:

to relieve the suffering and distress caused by bereavement or loss among the people of the London Borough and Deanery of Harrow, and surrounding areas where it is possible to make its services available. This would be, in particular, but not exclusively by:

Offering support through the process of grieving.

Increasing the public awareness and knowledge of the needs of bereaved people, or those who have experienced loss, throughout the community.

Training and supervising suitable volunteers in listening skills for working with the bereaved (whether in their homes or in other appropriate places).

Co-operating with and offering training to other agencies engaged in similar work.

Organisation

Trustees The constitution allows for up to twelve elected Trustees and one nominated Trustee appointed by Harrow Deanery Synod.

Visitors There are approximately 130 volunteers, who are trained in visiting and listening skills, and have worked with bereaved people in their homes or in other appropriate places such as drop-in centres. Each visitor successfully completes the Initial Bereavement Training (IBT) before joining a group. Visitors work to a comprehensive code of practice and are expected to complete a Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) assessment, where appropriate. The visitors contact bereaved people who are referred by their group leader or have requested support via the Bereavement Care office. Visitors are supervised by a Leader within the context of a group which meets regularly. Group Leaders have meetings for mutual support and exchange of information and have been supported by the Honorary Consultant Supervisor, Dorothy Edwards.

Review of the year There are separate reports covering Conference, Training, and Fundraising & Awareness. There is also a report from the Executive Officer.

Staff We thank David Griffiths, Executive Officer for his support and dedication to Bereavement Care.

The Trustees.

CHAIRMAN’S REPORT

It has been a privilege to continue to chair the Bereavement Care Trustee meetings this year.

If elected once again at this Annual General Meeting, I will continue to plan and chair the Trustee meetings in the year ahead. However, during this coming year, we will be actively looking for a new chair for the Trustees as I will not be standing for election at the Annual General Meeting in 2017.

So why is this charity, ‘Bereavement Care’, so important to us all? The aim of Bereavement Care is simple: to support those who are troubled by bereavement or loss. Our method is also very simple: we listen. Of course, things are not really quite so straightforward. We carry out our work among the people of the London Borough and Deanery of Harrow, and surrounding areas. Bereaved people need to know about us, or others need to know where we are and how we can be contacted. Our visitors listen. We train people to engage and listen. We have to provide this training and to offer on-going support for the visitors. On-going training is also required. There are regular meetings of visitors for mutual support and a chance to raise important issues. These meetings are led by Group Leaders who then need their own support structure in Group Leader meetings and Cluster groups. The whole community and individual people need to be aware of our services; this means that raising awareness is an on-going need. Our conference raises our profile in the local community and also provides education for visitors and others interested in our work. We also need administrative support in all sorts of ways. We require office contact. We need to have the option of seeing people in a safe environment if, for some reason, they are not visited at home. All this requires funds and so we need funding. Fundraising is an important feature. We have Trustees who run the charity and deal with legal and contractual matters. I am chair of the Trustees. You will remember that recently we changed our Constitution to bring it into line with new Charity Commission requirements and to protect the interests of members and trustees. We became ‘Bereavement Care’ to indicate the wider geographical spread of the charity. Bereavement Care has various Policies and Codes of Conduct, which are updated as appropriate. We have a Business Plan 'Establishing the Future for Bereavement Care' which guides many of our activities. And so the shape of our various committees arises. We have a Conference Planning Group; we have a Fundraising and Awareness Group; we have a Training section. I have asked various people to write a little about their work in this Annual Report so that a fuller picture of our work emerges. We now have an Executive Officer to assist with our mission; there is a report of his work in this document. This year’s AGM will be preceded by a brief talk from the Chief Executive Officer from Michael Sobell House. Whatever our role in the organisation, we have the one common aim: to support those troubled by bereavement or loss. Thanks to you all, we certainly cannot do our work without you! Peter Ellis. Chair, 2015.

FUND RAISING AND AWARENESS COMMITTEE REPORT

Committee members

Val Austen, Penny Bowskill, David Griffiths, Marianne Kittell, Sheila La Frenais (to September

2015), Jeanette Leibling, Michele Lussagnet, Jack Lynes, Bobbi Riesel, Trudy Segal. (From Spring 2016) Sandra McNally and Wendy Williams.

The core work of caring for bereaved people is done by Bereavement Care’s team of volunteer visitors with their Group Leaders. But they cannot work alone. They need training, support, safeguarding and administrative backup. These are provided by a further network – Trustees, Trainers, Conference planners, drop-in centres, venues for special events and courses, the Office, Executive Officer etc. All this requires MONEY to sustain.

This is the “raison d’être” of the Fund-raising and Awareness Committee. As Executive Officer, David works tirelessly to obtain funding from various groups but this is insufficient on its own. Without the drive, imagination, expertise and sheer hard work of the Fund-raising and Awareness Committee members, the present level of dedicated care for those suffering loss could not long continue.

The Committee met 7 times during the year to plan and co-ordinate a variety of events and projects. Most were designed to raise money and all aimed to increase local awareness of the service that Bereavement Care can provide. Each Committee Member has an area of particular interest and/or experience, so between meetings the researching and planning goes on by individuals and small groups, thus spreading responsibility as widely as possible. The whole Committee tries to assist as required for each event to lighten the practical load.

Almost every month saw some activity (see end Summary) and other Bereavement Care members provided valuable support, including former Committee Members Ruth McNeil and Sheila La Frenais. Thank you all. BUT our small Committee is under pressure. Some very profitable events were nearly curtailed or cancelled solely due to the lack of helpers. No special abilities are necessary for many small but vital ‘backstage’ tasks. An offer of just one hour’s help each year from every Bereavement Care member or friend would make a huge difference.

Since Ruth McNeil retired as Committee Chair, I have acted as Co-ordinator, taking minutes and attempting to keep each meeting on track. However I do not feel that I have the skills to be the Chair, and the lack of a Chairperson is endangering the well-being of the Committee. There must be SOMEONE with the ability to be the team leader for the willing group of very busy people. Specialised knowledge of fund-raising is NOT needed, so please consider whether you can step forward.

My grateful thanks to every one of the Committee Members for their commitment of time and energy. The praiseworthy achievements of the money raised can be seen in this year’s accounts. What cannot be seen are the results of our presence in the local community and making people aware of the service Bereavement Care can provide.

Summary of Events

In January 2015, the Fish & Chip Supper Quiz (which is now becoming an annual event) was very well supported and ticket requests exceeded the available capacity. In 2016 the venue was changed from Victoria Hall to Mosaic Reform Synagogue to accommodate increased numbers.

An Afternoon Tea with a Pilates session, bring-and-buy and quiz was held in June, generously hosted by Mr. & Mrs. Matti in their wonderful Ickenham home.

Two Coach Outings to Highclere Castle took place in July and August and proved to be extremely popular, allowing the parties access to the location of “Downton Abbey”.

- 8 -

The Pinner Village Show took place early in September and we were able to provide a stall with a tombola. Later in the month, the Bridge Day was held at the popular new venue of Pinner Hill Golf Club.

Waitrose, Ruislip kindly hosted the Trolley Dash in November and the year ended with Carol Singing at Harrow on the Hill tube station in December.

On-going projects throughout the year included the sale of our own Christmas Cards, the generous support of several Waitrose stores through their Community Matters (Green Disc) Scheme and Charity Collections at various supermarkets, including one in Hatch End at which we were helped by some young people from NCS: The Challenge.

In addition, the support at several local events which not only generate contributions to the fund-raising but just as importantly, raise awareness. Our thanks again to all those who organised, attended or contributed to any of the events.

Val Austen,

Co-ordinator: Fund Raising and Awareness Committee, 2015

TRAINING REPORT

It is no exaggeration to say that Bereavement Care is as successful as its volunteers and in particular, none more so than its army of volunteer visitors who provide the caring and listening service to bereaved people of every age and irrespective of their religious belief.

Initial training and training in specialised subjects as well as regular revision sessions are essential to our continued high reputation as a caring community.

During the year, thirty eight potential visitors attended our Initial Bereavement Training Course (IBT), three of which for the first time took place during the day. We hosted two Children in Grief sessions in which twenty one people attended.

Sue Bush and Asia Chetouani from Voluntary Action Harrow/Harrow Safeguarding Board ran a Safeguarding course attended by fourteen of our members. Our Beginnings and Endings workshop led by Gill Ornstein attracted twenty two participants.

We also organised external IBT courses for Community Cancer Care in Yiewsley, three sessions for Uxbridge College and a two day course for Allen Hall Seminary Westminster. We ran a Ritual & Loss Workshop for the Willesden Area Diocese of London and a Managing Bereavement at Work workshop for Voluntary Action Harrow.

The majority of our volunteers have been with us for many years and continue to make a valuable input. I am sure that they will agree with me that we must do what we can to bring more, dare I say, ‘younger’ people into our fold to ensure that we continue to flourish and be able to support those who grieve. Our Annual Conference is of course a source of much useful training and by popular demand, we are looking at ways that we can help/care for those who have themselves become carers of friends and relatives with dementia. So……Watch this space!

Many thanks to Judy Karbritz, Carole Scarlett and Helen Blakely for their work as trainers and a special thank you and farewell to Marion Jackson who has retired from training after many years and will be sadly missed.

CONFERENCE REPORT

Committee members

Josie Brown, Peter Ellis, Sharon Goldstein, David Griffiths, Jack Lynes, Karen Pollak, Jenny Reid, Bobbi Riesel, Judy Silverton. Each year Bereavement Care arranges an all-day Conference which provides a forum for delegates to receive training on diverse bereavement issues and to network with others working in the same field. Delegates include bereavement visitors, healthcare professionals, teachers, counsellors and community leaders. The 34th Conference on 14 October 2015 at the Mosaic Reform Synagogue in Harrow was entitled ‘Ages of Grief’ when a panel of experts explored how grief affects a bereaved person, whatever their age or whatever the age of the lost person. The panel comprised Dr Anthony Kaiser (Consultant Neonatologist at St Thomas’ Hospital), Lesley Lopez (Head of Patient and Public Involvement for the West Hertfordshire Hospitals NHS Trust), Dr Ruth Caleb (Head of Counselling at Brunel University London), Carol Courtney (Dementia Specialist Matron for London North West Healthcare NHS Trust) and Sophie Lapham (Director of Services of the charity ‘Missing People’). After short presentations, the panellists gave their responses in the Question and Answer session and in the afternoon they each led a workshop. Feedback from delegates confirmed that this was another excellent Conference. At the post Conference meeting in November, Judy Silverton took over from Jenny Reid as Chair of the CPG. Plans have already begun for the 35th Conference on 2 November 2016. Jenny Reid

Chair, Conference Planning Group, 2015

REPORT FROM THE EXECUTIVE OFFICER

It is a privilege to have been appointed to the full-time post of Executive Officer during the early part of 2015; a role which has encompassed my former roles of Outreach & Development Officer and Conference Co-ordinator, together with the office administration.

There were 204 referrals received through the office last year (2014: 160) which is a 25% increase; of which 158 were adults (2014: 130) and 46 were children (2014: 30). Whilst we have been steadily increasing our adult visitor numbers, our children’s visitors have been sadly reduced and this is a priority that we are currently addressing.

Sincere thanks to Richard Conradi (Group Leader, Northwood & Pinner Liberal Synagogue) who has kindly collated our visiting and drop-in statistics for the year (see pages 17 & 18). It is clear that in addition to the 204 referrals that were received in the office, a similar number emanated from the communities in which our groups are located. Additionally, a considerable number (over 300) were still being visited or contacted following referrals in the previous year. We do appreciate the considerable time that it takes for visitors and Group Leaders to collect and submit this data, but it is an invaluable method of measuring how we are meeting a real and essential need in our community.

I was invited to speak to a number of groups and these have included Age UK (Harrow)’s Annual Conference, Mill Hill Clergy Chapter, Harrow Deanery Synod, Harrow & Pinner Lions and the Harrow & Hillingdon Methodist Circuit Annual Meeting. As a result of the latter, we were chosen to be the nominated charity of the Harrow & Hillingdon Methodist Circuit for 2015-2016, for which we are very grateful.

- 10 -

As I recorded in my report last year, investigating, applying for and obtaining funding to sustain our work is often a fruitless process. However, during the second half of 2015, we were successful in our applications to the Near Neighbours Project (Church Urban Fund), Santander Foundation, Edward Harvist Trust and the London Borough of Harrow Small Grants Programme. In addition, we received a substantial grant from the Donald Forrester Trust who “had heard about the good work we are doing”. My sincere thanks are given to Alban Stowe for his generous support and advice in writing these applications.

Funding from several different sources all contributed to our overall income and each of these sources is valued and none are taken for granted. Individual Membership donations, Corporate Memberships and collections at memorial services all increased last year. We received donations from some of our bereaved clients; and from several of the Waitrose branches from their Community Matters “Green Disc” Scheme; Pinner Rotary Club; St. John the Baptist Church, Pinner; the Schon Family Charitable Foundation and the High Holy Day Appeal at Mosaic Reform Synagogue. Our fund-raising events were particularly well supported in 2015 and huge thanks are due to those who planned them, helped in the organisation or attended and supported them.

Publicity has been high on the agenda this year, and we have been able to distribute our new printed leaflets and business cards to relevant outlets such as places of worship, funeral directors, G.P. surgeries, hospitals and medical centres. These, together with bespoke “thanks” leaflets given out at our fund-raising events, all help to raise awareness. We were particularly fortunate to secure the services of Alex Buckmire from Voluntary Action Harrow, who built our new web-site which went “live” in the summer.

We were also pleased to be able to work with twelve teenagers as part of the National Citizenship Service: The Challenge over the summer period. After a “briefing” session in our office, given by Carole Scarlett and myself, the young people presented our work to a group of volunteers at Harrow’s version of “Dragon’s Den”. They then provided the enthusiasm and energy for a charity collection and awareness day at Morrison’s, Hatch End in September.

Recruiting new volunteers to be trained as visitors is an on-going priority for many of our groups. It was therefore agreed to offer one FREE place per annum, to each of our Corporate Members, for a candidate to attend an Initial Bereavement Training Course. Several of our groups have made use of this during 2015, and I am hoping that we shall soon be able to reduce the cost of training to our Individual and Corporate Members even further.

We wished Mary Holmes (All Saints, Harrow Weald) and Valerie Harrington (St John’s, Greenhill) a restful retirement as they stepped down from the roles of Group Leader for their respective church bereavement groups.

With regret, we were saddened to hear that Liz Shaw (Group Leader, St Mary’s Harrow on the Hill) had died in April. I was honoured to represent Bereavement Care at her funeral.

It continues to be a pleasure to have worked with Bereavement Care's volunteers over the past year and I look forward to working with you during the year ahead. Thank you for all the support you have given to me. I hope that together we can continue to provide this invaluable service in meeting the needs of so many bereaved adults and children in our local community.

Executive Officer, 2015
