CHAIR’S ANNUAL REPORT September 27[th] 2023 a) KM advised Members that, unfortunately, Mr Ioan Lewis was unable to attend due to illness and therefore not present to deliver the Chair’s Annual Report, hence KM delivered on his behalf. b) KM paid tribute to the Chair, Mr Ioan Lewis, for his 20 years of long service as Chair and also his commitment as a Member of the Amman Valley Hospital League of Friends (AVHLoF) for well over 50 years. The AVHLoF recognised his long service, together with that of the late Mr Arwel Davies as Treasurer and Mrs Dilys Richards as Secretary at a Long Service Aware celebration tea and presentation of a plaque on the 8 September 2023. c) Acknowledged the thank you note that had been received from Ms Rhian Davies, daughter of the late Mr Arwel Davies in appreciation of the event, plaque, flowers and photographs. d) Mr Lewis wished to convey his thanks to the AVHLoF for arranging the Long Service Award event. e) AVHLoF has spent £4,240.70 on the purchase of items for the Amman Valley Hospital over the last year. f) Acknowledged that this is the AVHLoF’s 75th AGM as a charitable trust and the importance of the LoF’s work in supporting and securing the future of Amman Valley Hospital’s presence in the community. g) In reference to the AVHLoF meeting on 15.05.23 (item 3e), it was confirmed that it was not possible to provide an X-Ray/Ultrasound service at the AVH due to the significant UK shortage of Radiographers and Sonographers and its subsequent impact on the ability of Hywel Dda University Health Board (HDUHB) staffing to cover the service. The generous amount raised by the community in the sum of £64,190.17 remains safely ring-fenced within the financial accounts. h) AVHLoF will re-engage with the community early in the New Year with an update of how it proposed to commit an alternative project in order to utilise the displaced X-ray funding. i) Confirmed that the Project Working Group (PWG) has had its first meeting on 14.09.23. j) KM confirmed that Mr Lewis is tendering his resignation as Chairman at this AGM.

The Pillar 1 focus is as such:| |||Our goal is to create a world where
justice for victims of sexual violence
is not the exception but the norm.
We are focused on making a
diference within the UK judiciary.
Our advisory board consists of
barristers who specialize in
defending and prosecuting sexual
violence cases. Over the past 18
months, they have closely listened
to concerns raised in reports such as
the End-to-End Rape Review.| |||We are committed to transforming
the education system for barristers
additionally, we aim to directly
engage with barristers to
understand their attitudes towards
achieving justice parity and their
proposed solutions. A crucial aspect
of our work involves gathering
insights from barristers on why
cases can be dismantled.| |||University students who are
studying Law are currently
undertaking Court Observations.| |||The advisory committee is dedicated
to advocating for the creation of a
distinct set of guidelines and code of
conduct to improve the treatment of
complainants within the courtroom.| |||By working closely with the
judiciary, we aim to fnd solutions to
the complexities that contribute to
the low conviction rate.
Furthermore, we strive to share best
practices from the judiciary to
ensure continuousimprovement| across the board. ## Additional information (optional) You may choose to include further statements where relevant about: ||SORP
