3 nbf Annual Report 2009/2010

Chair’s Report

The past year has been both challenging and encouraging. Challenging, in that the financial downturn has affected all parts of society and especially the sectors represented by the beneficiaries of NBF‟s members. Encouraging, in that NBF and its staff team have continued to perform well in such turbulent circumstances.

While the implications of the current recession are still working through society NBF needs to remain alert to what its membership requires if the sector is going to be in good order to tackle the many issues emerging in its wake. NBF can only be that if it remains relevant to its membership.

In this current context it is all the more crucial to have a clear strategy for choices and priorities over the coming years. NBF‟s Trustees and Senior Management are in the process of finalising our new Strategic Plan, outlining our key challenges, current achievements and future goals. With the Senior Management we are also looking at identifying the structure of the NBF core team that is required going forward. The Trustees are also taking the necessary steps to ensure that reserves are as healthy as they can be given the continued uncertainty. This process has required some very difficult decision making including redundancy.

Throughout NBF the staff have continued to be very active in providing evidence, communicating research findings and engaging in public events to help the health and social care sector chart its way hopefully to future success. I commend them all for their dedication and professionalism in such trying times.

An important aspect of the restructuring of the core team is to ensure that support for staff is as good as we can get it when faced with new management challenges.

4 nbf Annual Report 2009/2010

An example, and another sign of the times, is the fierce competition that is generated by competitive tendering and the complex processes that this often involves. Like all organisations engaged in this NBF has had mixed fortunes with both successes and failures. Today one must be prepared for such varied outcomes and develop the ability to quickly move on to develop working partnerships and deliver to specification. Often this means working with elements of former providers and considerable management time can be involved in ensuring transitions happen smoothly.

But there are also new potential partners and competitors to contend with and this only looks likely to grow, with private sector firms and social enterprises looking to win contracts in the sector. NBF needs to be able to identify the opportunities this presents and this requires time and space to think outside the box. An example of this being Esteem, the local partnership involved in tendering for the Building Schools for the Future Programme. NBF is included as the VCS partner organisation providing the Community Engagement Framework for the project.

Moving forward we can only expect more of this with public spending reductions across the board because of the economic recession and particularly the level of national debt to be addressed. As a result we can also expect huge pressure on the statutory services provided for people across our sector. The importance of NBF as a strong and credible representative organisation for voluntary sector health and social care providers which speaks with authority and vision has never been greater. This is the ultimate challenge ahead to which we will respond positively.

John Meakin, Chair of Trustees

5 nbf Annual Report 2009/2010

Chief Officer’s Report

The year to March 2010 held many challenges for our sector, not least an uncertain environment in the run-up to a general election and a new government. Looking back however, it was very much the calm before a storm which has yet still to develop properly as the full scale of public sector finance reductions just begins to emerge.

NBF‟s work begun or undertaken in the time frame of this Annual Report has, however, left the organisation in a healthy state at the time of writing, with its immediate future more secure than many others in our sector. As ever, the range and breadth of NBF‟s effective workstreams and information flows underpinning that are well evidenced in this Report: NBF‟s talented staff team are sincerely thanked for their continuing commitment to the organisation‟s work.

Internally, with the support of Development Track funding, we were able to review our own organisational health, plan our development accordingly and support this through an ongoing programme of bespoke training. Externally, NBF secured significant new strategic business during the year, becoming the Sector Support and Development provider for Hull, part of the City Health Care Partnership‟s Community Engagement Framework and the Esteem Partnership‟s Community Engagement partner in the Building Schools for the Future programme, one of the country‟s biggest.

Our broader strengths in outward looking partnership working were also recognised nationally through two Compact Commissioner‟s Awards, for Excellence and for the overall Award for Outstanding Achievement, and by the Local Government Chronicle Award for Best Public/Private Partnership for the CatZero Project.

6 nbf Annual Report 2009/2010

All that reflected NBF‟s consistent success in meeting our underlying objectives as an umbrella body- to ensuring the involvement of service users and carers in service design and delivery and in building our sector‟s capacity to engage with and influence the statutory agenda.

As the public sector retrenches and reshapes itself, meeting those objectives will most certainly remain both our challenge and our opportunity in the coming time: it will require fresh thinking and flexible responses as never before. During that process, NBF will nevertheless confidently continue to demonstrate the role and relevance of our member organisations, remaining alert to the new possibilities that present themselves along the way.

The Central Services Team during 2009/2010 comprised:

Kath Jones Chief Officer Mike Woodhouse Operations Manager Ali Lovelock ICT Co-ordinator Julie Smith Support Services Manager Steve Howard ICT Officer Blake Mace Finance Officer (Until May 2009)

Steve Howard once again has excelled having moved the entire communications and office infrastructure for North Yorkshire and the City of York Local Involvement Networks from their joint office in Skelton on the outskirts of York to new premises in the centre of York in Holgate Villa. This, in his usual style, was accomplished with the minimum disruption to business to two high activity and demanding projects. Many thanks Steve – you are a STAR!

HEROS

www.heros.org.uk

Karena Haworth HEROS Manager (to September 2009)

The HEROS website was a local health and social welfare information portal primarily serving people in the Hull and East Riding regions, although it had begun to expand to cover North Yorkshire. The areas of information covered on the HEROS website were varied and included, amongst others, children and young people, disabilities, carers, community transport, health conditions, local health services, mental health, housing, legal advice and money and benefits advice. There were also 14 mini websites covering core health and social care information and signposting in 14 different languages.

A lack of funding meant that the HEROS website was closed down at the end of September 2009, and an archive copy now resides with NBF

We would like to extend our thanks to Karena Haworth for all the hard work she put into the management and upkeep of HEROS. She, and her project, are sorely missed.

Virtual Riders www.virtualriders.co.uk

Chris Smith Virtual Riders Manager Steve Owst ICT Technician, North Bank Glen Greenwood ICT Technician, South Bank Laura Capes Admin Officer

In addition to helping over 60 organisations this year, disseminating information to 280 people through occasional email and responding to a variety of technical support needs the Virtual Riders team have conducted a large number of research and evaluation exercises to provide the sector with specific support to meet their needs.

There have been over 265 separate technical support visits to different voluntary organisations in the past twelve months.

By the end of the year there were 29 briefing papers, model policies/procedures, practical step by step “how to‟s” and templates on the new Virtual Riders website, www.virtualriders.org, and 83 FAQ's on the Virtual Riders FAQ website - www.vrfaq.org.uk , which were accessed over 12,000 times this year

Virtual Riders held a very successful conference which offered hands on workshops, and evidenced the demand for more IT awareness and training sessions in the future.

Virtual Riders now acts as a host for voluntary sector websites and supports a number of voluntary sector websites directly, whilst offering self managed support for a number of others.

Groups were also established to work with the community on ambulance issues and mental health issues. LINk members and host staff took to the road with a community road show during summer 2009 visiting 19 venues communities across North Yorkshire. Local people were encouraged to provide their views on: accessible GP services, dental services, care of older people, waiting times, joined up services, hospital cleanliness, mental health services, ambulances, and carers support, and survey results have been analysed by the districts to inform their work.
