There have also been manyhighlights over the past year tomention. The first of these has to bethe Dignity events which were heldin February; it was truly fantastic tosee the energy and enthusiasm thatso many teams put into organisingevents both internally and linkingwith the wider community.

The spring months saw the launchof our new six year OrganisationalStrategy ‘Making a Difference EveryDay’ which lays out how we willachieve our vision of being ‘Themost innovative and creativeprovider of care, support andhousing in the North of England’.

July saw the organisationembracing the Yorkshire start of theTour de France. Le Tour took asmuch of a hold on us as it did thewhole region (helpfully the colourscoincided with our own) whichmeant a sea of yellow could beseen at the many events that tookplace across the whole organisationthroughout the month.

The creativity and enjoyment of somany of the individuals we support,together with that of our staff andvolunteers was truly inspirational,with so many individuals giving uptheir own time to ensure the eventswere ones to remember.

It is down to the commitment of ourstaff that we have again been at theforefront of innovation in theprovision of care services with anumber of projects receivingnational recognition. The researchproject carried out withHuddersfield University ‘Our MindsOur Histories’ is just one example oftrue co-production with a piece ofwork that will be a reference foryears to come. Another fantasticpiece of work has been the End ofLife project led by Oxfield CourtNursing Service in Huddersfield;this is a pioneering piece of workwhich addresses key practices forhealth and social care staff inmeeting the end of life needs ofindividuals with learning disabilities.

As we look to 2015 and beyondthere is still a great deal to achieve.As we enter the year of a UKgeneral election the focusundoubtedly will turn to that ofhealth and social care and with theimpact of the Care Act beginning toshape how we work movingforward there will be many newchallenges ahead, for which we arewell prepared. There are also newand exciting projects on the horizonin the development of our services.

We sincerely hope you enjoyreading this review which is packedwith many excellent examples ofthe work we do. We also want totake this opportunity to thank all ofour staff, volunteers and supportersacross the whole organisation. Youensure that St Anne’s continues tobe a strong and successfulorganisation and for this wecontinue to be enormously grateful.

I donated all these SunderlandAssociation Football tops to theKeroche Football team from SouthAfrica who are sponsored bySunderland AFC. This is a charitablesource for all of the young anddisadvantaged people from that areaof South Africa.

I was supported through this processwith my keyworker Joanne and afellow work colleague John.

With their help, we found Gary Lambfrom the Seaham Area, whosupports this charity.

He has ensured that these footballtops reached the destination in South Africa and were used for aworthy cause.

Since donating all my football shirts Ireceived an invitation from Mr GaryLamb to meet some of the people Idonated my Football Shirts to. I attended an evening at the Copt Hillon Monday 3rd March 2014, where Imet several of their Football Teammembers and had my photographtaken with their team captain.

I had a very enjoyable evening, andwas also given a copy of theirnewsletter, containing photo's of thefootball team, equipment, trainingfacilities, sponsors, etc!

In the summer of 2012 St Anne’sCommunity Services were awardeda grant by the Heritage Lottery Fundto get the project ‘Our Minds OurHistories’ off the ground.

The purpose of the project was toinvolve clients in their local historyand set up an exhibition that notonly looked at the history of mentalhealth in Huddersfield but that alsoused ‘real histories’ of the peoplewho have experienced mentalhealth issues.

To that end they have created anexhibition which talks about theirexperiences and this exhibition willbe used to inform the people ofKirklees and give them an insightinto their local history.

The project will have a legacy andwill have space in local museumsand be used to help train staff andvolunteers and tour Kirklees.

This project could not have beenrealised without the hard work and

dedication of the staff and clients ofSt Anne’s and the support and skillof the teaching staff and students atthe University of Huddersfieldhistory department.

To support these groupsa client involvement fund has beenset up and we hope to continue withthis in the future to ensure that thiswork can continue to develop.

Client involvement leads (membersof staff) and client involvementchampions (St Anne’s clients) haverecently been identified in allservices, their role is to promoteand support client involvementamongst their team and clients. Alaunch event in 2015 is planned ineach region to promote andsupport these new roles. In 2015Richard is also hoping to set up aclient involvement newsletter andtraining program.

We will belaunching this early 2015.

Each year we also undertake aclient/stakeholder survey to get asnap shot of how people rate the

support they are receiving and howsafe they feel. This year we receivedreturns from 575 clients, 200relatives and 116 stakeholders andan analysis of the returns shows asatisfaction rate across all groups of95% – which is a brilliant result ofwhich we are all proud.

Comments included;

“I love going it’s totally awesome, thebest place ever. Everyone is caringand we have a good time”

“I would feel lost without my supportbecause my carer allows me tomake mistakes without the negativecomments so I can then see theproblem, correct it and move on.”

“The staff here go out of their way to be cheerful. If you want todiscuss anything they will alwayslisten to you.”

“There is still much more to do andwe hope to see even more clientinvolvement in 2015!”
