Securing our future The key themes for 2012-13 are: to complete the many initiatives we have been working on over the last few years; to ensure we have clear and deliverable plans for the next few years; and to work closely with the other Central Masonic Charities for the benefit of Freemasonry. Strategic priorities The Board of Trustees has approved a Corporate Plan for 2012-13 and many of the details of the Plan are presented in this annual review. The Plan outlines the strategic context in which the charity operates and summarises the key work strands that will be undertaken within the RMBI under each of the following four strategic priorities. • Improving care standards The current major transition to person-centred care, the extensive staff training programme for dementia care and the investment in end-of-life awareness should all be largely completed by 2013. In 2012-13 we also need to identify and develop other new initiatives, such as day care, for the RMBI to implement in 2013-15. • Increasing operational efficiency Social care funding is under enormous pressure and research shows that spending on older people’s social care in England has fallen short even of maintaining the inadequate levels of provision that were in place when the Coalition came to power. Our objective is to offer a range of services that are care-effective and cost-efficient. • Developing the workforce During the course of the year we will be formulating a competencybased Home management development programme. The aim of this initiative is to help Home Managers, Deputy Home Managers and selected other individuals further develop the skills needed to lead and manage a multi-million pound care-home business in today’s care environment. In addition, a comprehensive staff recognition scheme is to be developed to supplement the current awards for long service. • Creating 21st century facilities 2012-13 will be the penultimate year of our major capital works programme, with large projects continuing at James Terry Court in Croydon, Prince George Duke of Kent Court in Kent and Shannon Court in Surrey. In addition, a number of smaller projects are to be carried out over the next twelve months including a dementia extension at Cadogan Court in Exeter and repairs to the roof at Prince Michael of Kent Court in Watford. 2012-13 will be another challenging but rewarding year for the RMBI as several major initiatives are scheduled to be concluded, and by early 2013 we should be in a much stronger position as a care provider. It is likely that the care sector will continue to evolve in the coming years and the Masonic community is also changing. The RMBI must be prepared for the challenges that lie ahead and be ready to meet new requirements as they emerge. “I like to keep my independence but also know I can rely on aid at any time.” A resident at The Tithebarn, Liverpool RMBI ANNUAL REVIEW 2011–12
