Update from CEO Diane White Welcome to my first newsletter as Chief Executive. It has been a very busy and exciting few months and I have loved the opportunity to meet some of our carers, hear your stories and learn what KCN means to you. It is so important to know what you feel works well and what we could do differently. Thank you all very much for responding to our questionnaire, we received well over 500 responses. We will give you a snapshot of the results later in this newsletter and much more detail about what you said and what we have done.

There have been some more changes here at KCN. We are very sorry to say goodbye to Vanessa as she has returned to university to pursue a different career and we thank her very much for all her support to carers, especially those looking after people with dementia and all the wonderful wellbeing activities she arranged.

Alice has also moved on and will be hugely missed, especially by our young carers. We extend our thanks and very best wishes to her.

Our team has been expanding which is exciting for KCN and our carers. We have welcomed Tania, Julie, Chrissy and Sophina into our Young Carers’ Project and Carole into our Adults’ Team, where she will be joined shortly by Anna and Lou. Their commitment, skills and expertise are a positive addition to our staff and we are delighted to work with them. Please see pages 4 & 5 for more details.

Some of you may remember the Carers’ Strategy, a document which is now out of date as we have been waiting for Government guidance, which has been promised for some time. This strategy was shaped by the views of carers and reflects a vision where carers are universally recognised and valued. With the local authority, we are working on refreshing the strategy and would like to hear the voice of as many of you as possible. Please let us know if you are interested in sharing your views.

Best wishes, Diane

Mayor’s Community Awards We are thrilled to announce that two of Kingston Carers’ Network’s volunteers have been honoured at this year’s Mayor’s Community Awards. The Young Person’s Mayor’s Award 2020 has been given to our very own young carer Lewis and our wonderful volunteer Rita has been presented with the Mayor’s Award. These awards are a great way to highlight the work of those who give up their own time to help their local communities. We are so pleased that of all the worthy nominations across the borough, Lewis and Rita are being rightfully recognised.

Lewis has been with our Young Carers’ Project for four years; he is a confident and mature young man. He is kind and caring and has a wonderful cheery demeanour. Lewis is always the first to offer a listening ear, guidance and support. He has regularly volunteered for the role of buddy for a new young carer. Last summer, we went away for a three-day outdoor residential trip where Lewis gave up his time to be our Junior Leader. He excelled in his role as our first aider and was a great help, putting others before himself. Also, we arranged for Lewis to volunteer at Kingstonian FC, we were pleased to be told he had been an asset to the team and would be welcome back, being described as “an exceptional young man”.

Our second awardee, Rita has been volunteering with us for over three years now. We are very grateful for her support and rely on her enormously. Rita understands the challenges carers can face and works tirelessly to support our carers. Rita regularly visits our offices where she helps with admin and providing many administrative tasks. She has a happy disposition and always makes everyone feel positive. Rita also comes to our wellbeing activities, supporting

our staff, especially with young carers. Rita helps with every aspect, preparing food, tidying up, art activities, trips out, making children feel welcome and ensuring the young carers have the opportunity for respite breaks, make new friends, learn new skills and having fun. She has formed good relationships with our young carers, and they seek her out to share their news. Rita is always willing to do anything at all to help and this includes information and fundraising sessions, such as manning a stall at Surbiton Farmers’ Market, where we were charity of the month.

We are truly privileged that Rita has chosen Kingston Carers’ Network as a benefactor of her energy, enthusiasm, kindness and huge heart. She makes an enormous difference to our organisation and the wellbeing of all our carers.

A day in the life of... ‌ our Young Carers' Project Manager For many of us in this line of work, our daily thoughts are with those whom our actions have an impact on. For me this is also true. My typical day starts and ends with first and foremost thinking about all the amazing young carers we support, their families and our wonderful Young Carers' Project team! It is a thought I hold close to my heart whether I am at work or not.

Regardless of our busy routines of dropping kids off to school, doing the crazy peak traffic runs in rush hours while remembering to fuel up on enough caffeine, I will always start my day by speaking with my team & colleagues. We all find that a morning kick off (not formal) gets us going and focused for the rest of the day prior to tackling urgent issues, or looking at referrals, any planned activities with the Young Carers etc.

The role can vary significantly on a day to day basis sometimes working with schools by delivering talks in their assemblies, writing funding bids/reports for projects through to looking at how projects can be continuously improved upon. Evenings are sometimes also taken up with youth groups and drop in sessions where we hold activities such as boxing, football or sometimes just a good old chat with the young carers, volunteers and of course staff.

I have worked in many other industries and I have to say this role in this part of my life always leaves me inspired, energised and often amazed at the strength and resilience of our your carers. Not only can I see this on a daily basis, but also the hard work, dedication and sheer passion of our young carers' project team who will always go the extra mile to ensure that the activities we run are engaging and fun for all involved!

It is this commitment, which pushes me each day to drive forward with passion.

We have a jam packed Easter Holidays coming up, with everything from Thorpe Park, soft play and visiting the magic gardens at Hampton Court.

Young Carers’ Awareness Day 2020

Membership form This year we celebrated Young Carers’ Awareness Day by having our very own bake-off, hosted by Liz. We had 30 young carers who competed to become star baker and to win a bag of baking goodies to take home.

Once everyone had completed their masterpiece cheesecakes, we lined them out on a table for our special visitor, and judge, the Mayor of Kingston. Well done Matthew, our Star Baker!

Cheyenne’s Work Experience at KCN On the 10th February, I started my week of work experience where I learned lots of different skills. For example, during the week I inputted adult questionnaires and checked the credit card receipts to see that they matched up to the total of that month. Also during the week, I did some recipe research for the drop in for the 5 to 8 year olds. I also did some mentoring preparation and made some of the mentor ID badges and the mentee packs so that when a young carer arrives they have pack waiting for them. I helped make some welcome packs so that when you first join Young Carers you will have lots of information so that you can see what wonderful activities the young carers do and all the different way you can be supported.

During my week of work experience the Young Carers team in the office were all so lovely, welcoming and helpful. Everyone in the office is so supportive and amazing with their jobs, I could see how much effort they put in to help all of the young carers and adult carers. You can see with the staff at the office how devoted they are to help everyone. There is so much work that goes on behind the scenes and I wish everyone could see it because then they would be so grateful that they have all of these support workers at the office to help them.

Q&A with... ...Estelle, Social Media Volunteer How did you first hear about Kingston Carers’ Network?

An advert on the Kingston University Student Union volunteering page.

Why did you choose to volunteer for us?

I had always wanted to manage social media for a charity, particularly one devoted to mental health. Seeing Kingston Carers’ Network’s advert ticked all the right boxes for me in terms of availability and volunteer expectations. Not only is it fun, I’m learning great transferable skills for my future.

What volunteering activities do you do for our charity?

I run all the social media accounts and create the videos for Kingston Carers’ Network and Young Carers’ Project.

What do you enjoy about volunteering?

Knowing that despite not having a hands on role with carers, my time and effort still makes a large difference in the lives of everyone involved.

What advice would you give to other people, who are considering volunteering to help carers?

You don’t need to be an expert for your effort to be appreciated, just do your best and your best will be enough.

If you are interested in finding out more about volunteering with Kingston Carers’ Network, call Lyndsey on 020 3375 8226 or visit our website: www.kingstoncarers.org.uk/volunteering

Brexit - Apply for Settlement Britain left the European Union after 47 years membership. This change has created considerable uncertainty for many people, particularly those who have worked and then remained in the UK. This includes families with carers. The British Government has introduced the EU Settlement Scheme, which will allow people to remain here after Brexit. If you’re from the EU, European Economic Area or Switzerland, you and every member of your family should apply for settlement by 30th June 2021.

If you fail to do so, you could lose the right to remain in the UK. You should apply (for settled status or citizenship) even if you have previously obtained permanent residence (which will not be valid after 31st December 2020). If you have British or Irish citizenship, but other family members do not, then they should also apply. Some people will be granted immediate settled status whereas others will have pre-settled status. This is quite complex. If you would like further advice on this matter, please contact David Still on 020 3640 7693.

Activities News from Liz Thank you to all of you that have returned questionnaires. We are extremely grateful that so many of you took the time to share your thoughts and feedback with us. We are currently in the process of responding to specific queries raised so you may hear from us soon.

As a local charity, we do our very best to provide a wide range of good quality wellbeing activities for carers. Many of you have asked for activities that you can attend with the person you care for. We have taken this on board and have planned a couple of joint activities over the next six months. We recognise that it is difficult for many of you to find someone to look after your loved one whilst you enjoy a break and will continue to look for funding that’s inclusive of the person you care for.

However many of our funders specify that funding is to be used only to provide carers with a break

Spring/Summer 2020

Results from our Questionnaire Mornings and afternoons are the most popular times when carers would like respite and wellbeing activities, so we have reflected that also in the upcoming activities alongside a couple of evenings for working carers. The most popular suggestion was swimming, so we have booked day passes at The River Club and also an aqua aerobics session . Thanks to all who returned their questionnaire. Your feedback is very important to us.

Our trips are heavily subsidised and, as a charity our funding is limited.

This means that many of our trips are oversubscribed. We support over 3000 carers in the borough, all of whom are eligible to attend our respite breaks’ activities. As a result, we are currently trialling a new booking system where spaces are randomly allocated one month before the date of the trip, although priority will be given to carers who have not attended a trip before.

We hope you will be pleased with what we have on offer for the next 6 months and I look forward to seeing you soon.

Liz All of our activities must be booked, unless otherwise stated. You must register your interest with Liz by calling 020 3559 2824 or by emailing activities@kingstoncarers.org.uk. There is no need to book for the weekly fitness classes.

As spaces for all our activities are limited, we will pull names out of a hat and contact you one month before the activity is due to take place to let you know whether you have been allocated a space or not.

Carers who have not attended an activity with us before will be given priority on their first trip.

You can still contact us to register your interest, even if there is less than one month to go until the trip, as there may still be spaces available. If a trip is oversubscribed, we will operate a waiting list, so it is essential that you let us know if you are unable to attend.
