OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES
Our Mission
Our Mission Statement, "to help bring out the best from the community, for the community, through consultation with the community".
Our Values
In essence, we ensure that all our projects, services, classes, courses and activities are being developed in line with the changing identified needs of the community. We do this by maximising the sustainability of our work through working collaboratively with other organisations and partners in order to build a resilient, cohesive and inclusive community. This allows community members the ability to have a stake in their own future. Underpinning all the work we do is our commitment to the Equality Act (2010), the National Principles for Public Engagement in Wales and the Children and Young People's National Participation Standards. We continue to demonstrate diversity, fairness, integrity, accountability, partnership and sustainability.

OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES
Staff
The organisation is very proud of its staff team and recognise that through their hard work, great things happen. Their dedication and loyalty have been key to ensuring the organisation continues to meet its objective. Their willingness to adapt the delivery of projects, services, classes, courses and activities so as to include a wider spectrum of the community is testament of their commitment to improving the lives of others. They do this even in the midst of uncertainty as to whether their post will continue to be funded in future. We are particularly proud of the fact that our staff team has worked tirelessly throughout the past 12 months and continue to put the needs of others before their own.
Volunteers
Our success to date can be attributed to the hard work of our volunteers who with staff support, are able to establish, develop and deliver needs-based services within the community and local surrounding areas. Through annual consultation, regular monitoring and evaluation, we are able to ensure we have up to date information relating to the needs of the community and that we are meeting these needs through the delivery of services.
With an excellent track record spanning 27 years, we continue working in disadvantaged areas with some of the most marginalised, vulnerable people. The organisation has earned itself an excellent reputation for engaging with and supporting some of the hardest to reach community members and continues to make a positive difference to the lives of many. Our ability to recruit, train and develop volunteers has earned us the Investors in Volunteers Award on four occasions.

ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE
Charitable activities
Review of activities and achievements, including public benefits
The Trustees confirm that they have referred to the Charity Commission's guidance on public benefit when reviewing the aims and objectives of the charity. During the year 1st April 2022 to 31st March 2023, the organisation continued to secure monies through a combination of being commissioned to deliver frontline services, grant funding and donations. A number of successful applications enabled us to continue delivering a number of existing and new successful projects designed to enhance the lives of those we work with.
Communities for Work Plus
As a result of the Welsh Government's closure of the Communities First Programme in March 2018, a Legacy Fund was created and for our region, it is managed by RCT Council. The Council have subsequently used some of this money to commission us to deliver work clubs throughout several communities within RCT and pay a small amount towards housing their own staff in our building. This legacy fund continued on a like for like basis during the 2022/2023 financial year.
Managing a 'grass roots' programme which is heavily embedded with a 'top down' approach to delivery and monitoring, on a severely reduced budget, has perhaps been one of the most challenging situations the GGCA has had to experience. The days of being able to help the most vulnerable people in the community and local surrounding areas have now been replaced by an ever-prescriptive set of targets that mean we can deliver this project to those who fit the criteria set down by Welsh Government and RCT Council. Many of the most vulnerable have therefore been further excluded.
As an organisation set up to help those most in need, it is worrying that narrowly focused programmes are substantially restricting which members of the community we can work with. Witnessing the drawbacks of such changes has led us to develop a number of other initiatives in order to 'fill the identified gaps in provision' that increasingly widens as a result of target driven outcomes. This is something which does not sit comfortably with many voluntary sector organisations.
Flying Start
The Flying Start Programme has been delivered through our Messy Monsters childcare setting which continues to provide a high-quality childcare provision free at the point of delivery. This is offered to parents of all eligible 2-3 year old's for two and a half hours a day, 5 days a week for 39 weeks. Our provision provides a clean, warm, friendly environment where the children feel safe and secure and are stimulated to develop skills and increase confidence and self-esteem. Linked to foundation phase, it enables a seamless transition between the setting and school, filling some gaps in provision for the child.
At our Messy Monsters Childcare setting, the children are offered a broad curriculum of activities based on the Foundation Phase as laid down by the Department for Children, Education, Lifelong Learning and Skills. Through hard work and commitment, we have been able to secure a contract to continue delivering this programme. However, planned changes may affect how the provision is delivered in the future as again, funds are expected to be reduced further despite the cost of living crisis that is looming.
With a Quality of Care Award issued by the Pre School Play Association and excellent CIW inspection reports, our provision continues to offer children and their parents a high-quality setting with a dedicated team of staff.
Full Day Care
In addition to our Flying Start provision, we have addressed an ongoing barrier to employment for those who have struggled with childcare. In January 2020, we established a full day care provision for children aged 0-12 years. Opening 8am until 6pm Monday to Friday, it provides affordable childcare, removing that barrier for parents returning to employment.
Active Inclusion
We were awarded funding to deliver an active inclusion project for 16-24 year olds. The project was extremely successful and as a result, we were invited to apply for a reprofiling which, being successful, ensured we were able to extend the lifespan of the project to the last possible funding deadline of 31.12.2022. This ensured we could continue to provide employment opportunities to young people for 16 hours per week for 16 weeks. During this time the young people gained employability skills and completed a number of training courses which increased their chances of gaining employment beyond their time engaged in this project. Overall the project far exceeded the initial targets and the Welsh Council for voluntary Action (WCVA) who administer the funding stated we are "one of the best projects" and a prime example of successful delivery. This project ended by the above date of 31.12.2022.

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2023
Kick Start
Contracted by the Department of Work and Pensions, we have worked with young people to develop their knowledge, skills and experience of employment through our supported employment programme. This programme ended in September 2022 but we had feedback from our local DWP Coordinators who informed us that we were one of the most successful projects where young people received excellent support, enabling them to move into sustainable employment.
Big Lottery - Climate Action
The project will establish and develop a range of activities contributing towards tackling the climate emergency. Participants will learn simple, effective, achievable steps to reduce carbon emissions, this learning through action will enable participants to gain a better understanding of why we need to take action.
The project will help change attitudes as we encourage a move away from "What can we do about it" and confidently state, "This is what we are doing about it". We want those we work with to spread the word (as they often do), telling family and friends that by participating in activities, they are learning through action, socialising, having fun and are proud to be part of the climate solution.
Winter Warmer, Winter Wellbeing projects
In January GGCA secured several smaller pots of funding ranging from £500 to £10440 to delivery its various sessions such as Knit & Natter, Arts & Crafts and Pottery, Men's Shed, Fitness/Dance as well as providing a Warm Centre Hub for the community as a result of the cost of living crises. We also secured funds to provide winter warm packs containing woolly hats, gloves, scarfs, hot water bottles, dressing gowns & blankets and separate funding to provide children and adults with wellbeing packs containing shower gel, shampoo, hand towels, nail files, cotton wool buds etc. These packs were distributed to those who were struggling through the winter months.
FINANCIAL REVIEW
Going concern
Going forward, Gilfach Goch Community Association will endeavour to generate funds to cover all financial commitments. The building continues to maintained, compliant with the Disability Discrimination Act and Equality Act 2010. There are no outstanding litigations. We have a senior finance manager and a finance assistant who monitor the finances of the organisation and its' social enterprise arm. Our financial procedures are in place and regularly revised. Monthly financial reports are produced and submitted to the board of trustees. Finance is a permanent item on the agenda at the monthly Board of Trustees meetings and the finance officer is on hand throughout the monthly meetings to explain the accounts and answer questions from the Community Association Manager and Board of Trustees. We are currently planning to upgrade our financial systems in the next financial year to enable a more efficient way of working in order to reduce costs on a long term basis.
Lease
Our current lease agreement with RCT Council has four years remaining. However, due to the way in which our organisation is audited, the low number of years remaining on our lease is reflected in our Statement of Financial Activities. This means that it shows our expenditure as being substantially more than our income and this has a profound effect on our ability to secure funding. However, the accounts are only produced in this way to take into account the depreciation rate of the building and is not due to overspending and/or exceeding our level of income. In light of this, we are in the process of agreeing a new 25 year lease with RCT council but due to the pandemic, this has been put on hold. It is expected that discussions with RCT Council can re-commenced in 2023/2024 so that a new, longer running lease can be secured.
Financial review
The main source of funding comes from a range of funding bodies and income donated back to the organisation from its social enterprise arm.

PLANS FOR FUTURE PERIODS
In order to continue working towards our objective in the context of current and future challenges we will continue to:
-
Provide a voice that ensures all sectors of the community are represented.
-
Recruit, train and support volunteers.
-
Establish, develop and deliver services, classes, courses, projects and activities that meet the identified needs of the community and individuals particularly in relation to health, education and employability.
-
Create opportunities that enhance the lives of a diverse range of individuals.
-
Maintain existing and develop new meaningful key partnerships with shared values to maximise potential benefits for community members of all ages and abilities.
-
Commit to tackling the climate emergency
-
Work towards increasing the levels of unrestricted funds through the continued development of socialenterprise activities, fund raising events and donations.
-
Regularly monitor the potential risks the organisation may be exposed to.
-
We will also monitor closely the information available to us relating to the pandemic, devise new ways of working and expand our emergency work to include new areas where need is high.
As grant funding is becoming more difficult to secure we know we face some difficult times in the immediate future and as such, we make every effort to ensure our organisation is in a position to continue forging ahead for the benefit of the community by looking at ways of generating income.
STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT
Governing document
The charity is controlled by its governing document, a deed of trust, and constitutes a limited company, limited by guarantee, as defined by the Companies Act 2006.
Remuneration of Trustees and Senior Management
The Board of Trustees volunteer their time in a number of ways, in particular during the monthly Management Committee Meetings. Although they are advised that as a volunteer, they can claim any expenses incurred, none of the Trustees have submitted a claim this financial year. The Community Association Manager is employed by the organisation and paid a salary. The salaries for all paid employees and any sessional workers are in line with that of other organisations carrying out similar work and are appropriate for the job roles. Any changes to salaries must be authorised by the Community Association Manager and the Board of Trustees prior to any change taking place.
Related parties
Red Valley Enterprises CIC is a registered Community Interest Company and the Social Enterprise arm of Gilfach Goch Community Association. It was established in 2007 and has continually been developed in line with its objectives and the objectives of Gilfach Goch Community Association. The profits from Red Valley Enterprises CIC are gift aided each year to the Association to increase levels of unrestricted funds thus enabling the Charity to become less reliant on grant funding and to help aid the future sustainability of the organisation.
Red Valley Enterprise CIC - Achievements and Performance
Throughout the last financial year and despite the economic and political uncertainty, Red Valley Enterprises C.I.C has managed to generate a level of income through its various social enterprise initiatives. Red Valley Enterprises continues to build on its firm foundations and as we continue to progress our work since the pandemic, more groups are using our facilities, this evident through a significant increase in bookings. This is of course all subject to any changes we may have to make in the event of local or national emergencies.
Investment Powers, policy and performance
Under the memorandum and articles of association, the charity has the power to make any investment which the directors believe will be beneficial in terms of meeting the aims and objectives of the organisations.

In accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102), the general volunteer time provided to the Association is not recognised. Refer to the trustees' report for more information about their contribution.
Leasing
Rentals applicable to operating leases are charged to the Statement of Financial Activities over the period in which the cost is incurred.
Allocation of support services
Support costs are those functions that assist the work of the charity but do not directly undertake charitable activities. Support costs include back office costs, finance, personnel, payroll and governance costs which support the activities of the charity. These costs have been allocated between cost of raising funds and expenditure on charitable activities.
Functional currency
The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the charitable company. Monetary amounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest £.
Debtors
Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount due after any trade discount offered. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid net of any trade discounts due.
Creditors and provisions
Creditors and provisions are recognised where the charity has a present obligation resulting from a past event that will probably result in the transfer of funds to a third party and the amount due to settle the obligation can be measured or estimated reliably. Creditors and provisions are normally recognised at their settlement amount after allowing for any trade discounts due.

Included within leasehold property is the building from which the charity operates. This building was built on land leased from the local authority. The building is being depreciated over the remaining life of the lease, being 4 years. The charity is currently in the final stages of negotiating an extension to the lease and it is on this basis the management committee believe the value of the property is not materially misstated. The centre is still well used and vital for the associations charitable work. If the centre was not made available, the cost of replacing it would be far greater than the current written down value. The property has been extended since the original lease was signed but the lease was not updated to reflect the larger footprint of the building. This matter will be rectified when the new lease is signed.
