AGE UK WEST CUMBRIA LIMITED Type of Organisation/Governance: Limited by Guarantee, Co Reg – 06047495, Charity Com – 1122049 Written evidence submitted by Age UK West Cumbria Ltd Third sector and charity case study evidence submitted to the Digital, Culture, Media and Sport Parliamentary Select Committee – April 2020 AGE UK WEST CUMBRIA LIMITED Type of organisation/governance: Limited by guarantee, Co Reg – 06047495, Charity Com – 1122049. It is one of 140 brand partners of Age UK, working across the United Kingdom. Purpose of organisation: To promote the relief of older people in Allerdale and Copeland Geographic area covered: Allerdale & Copeland in West Cumbria Who am I? I’m CEO and have been involved with this Charity at the coalface since June 2018. I have 30 years’ experience as a restructuring & turnaround specialist and I’m a former licensed insolvency practitioner. My focus has been reshaping the charity to be sustainable & relevant for the future. In my line of work the most precious resource is time, time to restructure or turn a business. Time is also limited for our vulnerable older people in Allerdale & Copeland. The charity is a classic example of one that has been over reliant on its reserves in the last 3 years while its income levels have continued to drop from an historical high of £2.2 million. Headcount has also dropped from 118 to 52 in 2 years, BUT the Covid-19 crisis that has come from the left field may tip over the charity. We are fighting hard to avoid this outcome. Work being done during Covid19: 1. Information & Advice 2. Food Parcels 3. Home from Hospital (To increase exit flow from the NHS & hence capacity) 4. 2 additional Covid-19 helplines 5. Prescribed Equipment for the NHS occupational therapists 6. Covid-19 Emergency Appeal - £100,000 7. Members of Copeland Local Resilience Group 8. Members of Allerdale Local Resilience Group 9. Working with local funders & Cumbria Voluntary Services (CVS) 10.Sign posting to other charities & organisations 11.Regular service & information updates via our websites, facebook & twitter feeds Usual income: As at YE 31/03/2020 (Unaudited) - £1.1 million Reserves: As at YE 31/03/2020 (Unaudited) - £0.7 million (90% Bricks & Mortar) Challenge due to Covid19: Shops closed/loss of volunteers/no fundraising etc. 1. All face to face contact suspended 2. 5 Retail shops suspended – Workington, Cockermouth, Cleator Moor, Egremont, Millom 3. Retail online shop suspended 4. 3 Resource centres suspended – Whitehaven, Cockermouth, Egremont 5. Foot care suspended 6. Handyperson services suspended 7. Day activities suspended 8. All clubs & groups suspended 9. All face 2 face contact suspended on two projects including Joining Forces and Community Connections 10.Loss of 70% of our volunteers who are now self-isolating 11.Loss of 90% of our income over night 12.Skeleton staff headed by trustees & CEO, managed via remote audio/visual platforms 13.Restricted fundraising activities Predicted loss: Predicted loss of income £685,000 Who this affects: 1. Older people in Allerdale & Copeland 2. 80% of our staff are furloughed 3. Jeopardises the future sustainability of the charity 4. Inability to deliver vital services when demand is high re Isolation / loneliness / mental Health 5. Loss of face to face wellbeing assessments Opportunities to make good: 1. Time is short 2. Covid-19 will tip many charities over the edge - maybe this charity 3. Sustainable funding of social care and especially the vulnerable groups like older people What would help? 1. Sustainable funding for core costs for funding grants & contracts 2. Allowing furloughed staff to volunteer for the same charity 3. Forcing charities to pool resources & avoid duplication 4. More direct leadership of the 3rd sector 5. Professionalise & promote the merger of charities 6. A directive from government for insurance companies to fast track business interruption claims. Principal Issues to address: The fundamental issue is not about saving charities or charity jobs but the beneficiaries that rely on the safety net that charities provide. Firstly, the immediate crisis for all charities during and post Covid-19, there will be significant numbers of insolvencies, most charities are small with few reserves and the trustees should not risk their own position and they will follow legal/regulatory advice. Ultimately these failures of charitable services will fall on local government, social services, the NHS and central government services. It will be a false economy to under fund Covid-19 support for Charities. Secondly, the bigger and uglier issue is the sustainable funding of social care – there is plenty written on the subject including parliamentary reports. However, the arguments are not one sided, the third sector needs to get its act together and build sustainable trust, with local & central government, the NHS and funders. Should this information be anonymised? No Is someone prepared to speak to press/government about this? Name: David Hole - BSc (Hons), MBA, FIPA, FABRP, FEACTP Position: CEO.

    Allerdale Borough Council Planning Application 2/2016/0751 Proposed Erection of up to 64 dwellings including landscaping, open space, Development: access, highways and drainage Location: Land North of Broughton Park Great Broughton Cockermouth Applicant: Mr Adam McNally Story Homes A full list of plans is attached at Annex 2. Recommendation: Approve, subject to the attached conditions and the signing of a s106 agreement to secure the following: Upgrade to Winder Lonning footpath link to an adoptable standard of surface, with lighting details to be secured by condition. A commuted sum towards existing off site play equipment at Kirklea of £17,454 to cover the SPD contribution of £12,454 and £5000 for future maintenance. An education commuted sum £223,791 for a new classroom at Broughton Academy (infant and juniors), and £71,250 for secondary school transport. 25% provision of affordable housing, 11 units for social rent and 5 units for discounted sale. Should the s106 agreement not be satisfactorily completed in a timely manner, then it is requested that the powers to refuse the proposal be delegated to the Head of Service, on the basis that those measures necessary to make the development acceptable in policy terms have not been secured through the necessary legal agreement.(This is to be applied to all future s106 agreement planning decisions) Summary/Key Issues Issue Conclusion Principle Notwithstanding the fact that the site lies outside of the saved settlement limit for Broughton officers consider the principle of residential development at this location to be acceptable. The site lies directly adjacent to the saved settlement limit and therefore, can be considered both well related and sustainable.

  • The Baptists and the Cumbrian Religious Censuses
    169 THE BAPTISTS AND THE CUMBRIAN RELIGIOUS CENSUSES The following paper deals with the Baptists in the modern county of cumbria, that is since 1974 the former counties of Cumber land and Westmorland, the district known as Lancashire North-of-the-Sands which is cut off from the rest of the parent county by Morecambe Bay, and a small part of the West Riding of Yorkshire (principally Sedbergh and Dent) which comprised a salient into Westmorland on a level with Kendal. Until 1856 the northern half of Cumbria was under the Diocese of Carlisle, last bastion against the Presbyterian Scots, the southern half under the vast rambling Diocese of Chester, with that most reluctantly Cumbrian area known as Alston Moor in the far east under Durham and later Newcastle. The 1856 formation of the new Diocese of Carlisle brought a religious unity (Alston apart) which was not reflected in administrative circles for one hun­ dred and eighteen years, Cumbria being the most north-westerly English county containing within it the Lake District in the centre (roughly half a.million acres) but the outer ring of coast; .dale and moorland amounting to well over twice this amount. In a county not famed for the numbers of religious adherents and where the Established Church ~ailed to make a significant impression, it was not surprising that the Baptists remained one of the smallest of the Dissenting denominations in Cumbria. The great success of the Quakers in parts of Cumbria during the later 17th century was a response on the part of the iso­ lated and stubbornly independent countrymen to a sect fostering their indifference to Church authority (itself a response to Anglican neglect) and determination to ignore secular govern­ ment.

  • DISASTERS in CUMBRIA SINCE the 19Th CENTURY an Overview June
    DISASTERS IN CUMBRIA SINCE THE 19th CENTURY An Overview June 2020 Mankind has always had to contend with problems arising in the natural world, from earthquakes, volcanoes, hurricanes, drought, disease and more. Since the development of modern technology, one can add failures of design, (e.g. bridge collapses), improper use (human error) and pushing the boundaries of knowledge too far. Cumbria has a long list of all of these - one wonders if an undue share. This articled highlights some of the worst since the 19th C. Each event would have had a major impact on its local community, both in economic and psychological terms. 1 1910 Wellington pit disaster 2 1914-18 World War I 3 1918 ‘Spanish’ flu Pandemic 4 1920’s Haig pit fatalities 1922,1928,1931 5 1930 Development of Loss of Mardale village Haweswater 6 1930’s Mass unemployment 7 1940’s World War II Bombing in Barrow 8 1946 Harrington pit disaster 9 1947 William pit disaster 10 1957 Windscale Nuclear pile fire 11 1986 Chernobyl Farming impact 12 2001 Foot & Mouth Farming impact 13 2005 Major flood Carlisle 14 2009 Major flood Cockermouth & Derwent valley 15 2010 Multiple shootings West Cumbria 16 2015 Major floods Appleby, Kendal, Glenridding 17 2020 Coronavirus Pandemic In the early years covered by this overview the records of the events was entirely hand-written and analysing these a painstaking task. In addition there was (and still often is) no common accord as to what should be included and what excluded. Since many a government wanted to present the best or the least – worst picture, true comparisons are difficult.
