Chairman’s Report
My annual report to you seems to come around quicker as each year goes by.
Having seen two very difficult years in 2020 and 2021 because of the Covid pandemic this year has been a fantastically busy one as communities start to return to some sort of ‘normal’. It was great to launch our revitalized website this year and I would urge you to take a look and see a small selection of the work that has been achieved this year.
Our network of Police Community Support Officers have been keeping our project Manager busy with almost 120 successful Small Grant funding applications. The support and engagement opportunities these relatively small amounts of money give to PCSOs and their communities never ceases to amaze me. The Small Grant Fund really is the corner-stone of the work which we do and I would encourage any community groups to work with their PCSO and encourage more applications to this long-standing fund. I must also thank our sponsors at CGI UK Ltd for the fantastic work they do for PACT in support of this fund.
Once again our Primary School Internet Safety Poster Competition was hugely successful, this year seeing over 2,100 entries being received. PCs Dewi Owen and Roheryn Evans from North Wales Police Cyber Crime team really have been instrumental in making this competition such a success over the past two years. Long may it continue.
I have been privileged to visit many PACT funded projects over the past year including Wrexham Inclusion Football Club, Llangefni Boxing Club, Friends of the Cob in Rhyl, North Wales African Society in Bangor and was even able to have a go at wheelchair basketball with Rhyl Raptors. It is humbling to see the work that is carried out in our communities by local volunteers who give their time freely without seeking any recognition. I’m looking forward to seeing more in 2023/24.
This year we were also able to support nine young people from North Wales who took part in the Chief Constable’s Tall Ships Challenge. The Challenge was originally due to take place in 2020 but had to be postponed due to the pandemic. You can find more details about the Challenge on our website.
The Challenge was partly arranged by Carl Foulkes when he was Chief Constable. Carl decided to retire in October 2022 following a 30 year career in policing. Carl was always very supportive of PACT and I would like to place on record my thanks to him whilst he was Chief Constable of North Wales Police. I and my board of trustees are very much looking forward to working his successor, Amanda Blakeman, who has joined our board. We are very pleased to have Amanda on board and have recently helped to introduce her to members of the North Wales business community at a business lunch co-sponsored by PACT and the Chamber of Commerce.
2023 has already seen us being able to celebrate 20 years of the High Sheriff's Crimebeat fund and 10 years of ‘Your Community Your Choice’ both of which you can read about in this report and later this year we will see PACT celebrate 25 years of supporting communities across North Wales. As part of this forthcoming celebratory year I am delighted to report that, as at the end of this financial year, PACT has now invested over 2,500 projects that support our communities in North Wales during the past 25 years. I and my fellow trustees are extremely

proud of this achievement and I will look forward to reporting on this celebration in my next annual report to you.
For the moment though I would like to conclude my report by thanking my fellow trustees for all their support throughout the course of this year, to partners, sponsors and supporters, to the Police and Crime Commissioner and to North Wales Police - the Chief Constable and her officers and staff and their continued commitment to our communities.

North Wales Police and Community Trust Review of Activities Year Ended 31[st] March 2023
In all its activities PACT strives to support the objectives of the Police and Crime Plan, reducing crime and anti-social behaviour and helping to make North Wales the safest place in which to live and work and to visit.
Police Property Act Fund
PACT Trustees continue to manage the Police Property Act Fund on behalf of the Police and Crime Commissioner.
The Police Property Act Fund is made up of monies received by the police from the sale of found property and from property which is confiscated by order of the courts and then sold. The main aim of the fund is to support local projects undertaken by voluntary/charitable organisations that solely benefit the communities of North Wales.
Our Small Grant Fund and Main Grant continues to be a mainstay of our funding. Following the pandemic PACT has continued to support an increasing number of projects with our Neighbourhood Policing Teams which you can see listed in the appendix. The Small Grant Fund continues to be extremely popular with our Neighbourhood Policing Teams. The fund, which allows officers to apply for grants of up to £250, is now in its 23[rd] year and provides a simple yet effective tool for community engagement.
PACT continues to receive sponsorship from CGI UK Ltd to support our Small Grant Fund, enabling PCSOs to get involved with community projects that help to support the Police and Crime Plan. We are grateful to Phillipa Proctor and her team at CGI for their continued support.
A full list of the projects funded through our Main Grant Fund and Small Grant Fund, can be found in the Appendix to the Annual Report.

Justice in a Day
A teenager groomed by a vicious county lines gang to become a drugs supplier has been sentenced to 18 months in youth custody. Magistrates heard the 16-year-old called Darren was forced to sell illegal drugs after he started taking drugs himself and fell into debt. He was caught when he was seen passing drugs to another person at a party and was arrested. Police officers found him to be in possession of MDMA or Ecstasy, a Class A controlled drug. When he appeared before Wrexham Magistrates Court he pleaded guilty to a charge of possessing drugs with intent to supply. The youngster also admitted possessing a bladed article, a knife.
There were emotional scenes at the court as Darren was led away to begin his sentence.
But although based on real events, this was actually a drama workshop organised as part of the pioneering Justice in a Day project and 'Darren' was actually actor called Iwan Garmon. Organised by the North Wales Police and Community Trust (PACT) with the aim of giving young people a taste of how the criminal justice system works and the devastating effect crime can have on families and the community.
During the current financial year we were able to deliver Justice in a Day in June 2022 and March 2023 following the Covid19 pandemmic and were able to reach over 500 young people across North Wales during these workshops.
PACT project manager Dave Evans said the aim is to give young people a taste of how the criminal justice system works and the devastating effect crime can have on families and the community.
He said: "The purpose is to educate young people about the criminal justice system and the consequences of crime. In addition it helps prevent them becoming offenders and equally importantly the victims of crime.
"The feedback we have had from schools and some of the case studies we've done with young people over the years and how they've benefitted from the workshops has been quite profound."
He added the scenario presented during the day-long course was nothing like how crime is portrayed on television and elsewhere.
Real life magistrate Celia Jenkins told the students the project aims to get the message across to young people that crime "really isn't worth it"
She said she became a magistrate about 20 years ago and now sits on the bench about once a week hearing all manner of cases.
9
North Wales Police and Community Trust For the year ended 31[st] March 2023
Answering questions from the youngsters, she said: "Every case starts in the Magistrates Court. Some are so serious we have to send them to Crown Court but we deal with all manner of cases. Some of the worst ones I have dealt with have involved young people."
One of our workshops in Wrexham was attended by pupils from Ysgol Dinas Bran, Llangollen:
Pupil Jasmine Wright, 15, sat alongside Ms Jenkins and played the role of a magistrate in the workshop.
She said: "I've learned a lot about how the justice system works and the difference between adult and youth courts. More time is spent on youth justice so they don't do it (offend) again.
Her classmate Bradley Richards said: "I knew a few things about the justice system before but didn't know the things the court took into account which is to try and help the offender." Megan Bowen, also 15, added the course could lead to her becoming part of law enforcement at some point in the future.
"I've had my eyes on becoming a police officer and maybe I'll look into it a bit more," she said.
Another Ysgol Dinas Bran student, Emily Curtis, 15, said. "The best part of today was being in the courtroom, just sitting there listening and seeing what happens and how they get sentenced and how the whole system works."
Written and directed by Emyr John, Theatr Clwyd's creative engagement associate and the son of a former North Wales Police Superintendent, he said Justice in a Day was created to help educate young people about the consequences of crime.
He said: "The actors tell the story. Students decide what they think the sentence should be but we have a real magistrate to deliver what was the actual sentence and explain why the court came to the decision it did.
"Darren is sent into youth detention for 18 months and we look at what happens and his experiences while locked up.
"It's about talking to young people in a way they can understand and in their own language. It also helps explain what can happen if they get involved in crime and how it affects not just them but their whole family and friends."

‘Your Community, Your Choice’
10
North Wales Police and Community Trust For the year ended 31[st] March 2023
The winners of a special £120,000 fund to help communities across North Wales were announced at a dedicated ceremony in the White House, Rhuallt, Denbighshire at the end of March 2023. The Your Community, Your Choice fund supports grass-roots projects and is supported by the North Wales Police and Crime Commissioner, North Wales Police and Community Trust (PACT) and North Wales Police. After applications were shortlisted, the North Wales public was asked to vote for their preferred projects and over 16,000 votes were cast across the region in the online ballot.
This year’s awards were even more significant as Your Community, Your Choice is celebrating its tenth anniversary in 2023 and, over the past ten years, a total of over £500,000 has been awarded to more than 150 projects working to reduce crime in their areas and to support the priorities in the Police and Crime Commissioner’s Police and Crime Plan. The funding for Your Community, Your Choice comes partly from money seized by the courts through the Proceeds of Crime Act, with the rest from the Police and Crime Commissioner.
In recognition if this 10-year milestone, the funding available to winning projects this year increased to a total of £120,000, shared across 25 projects.
These winning projects will make a major difference to our villages, towns, cities and the region as a whole and it is a pleasure to be able to support them through Your Community, Your Choice.
At our celebration event Police & Crime Commissioner Andy Dunbobbin said: “I am delighted to see so many excellent and deserving winners receive funding that will help transform communities across North Wales. Your Community, Your Choice is a true collective effort – from my office, the police and PACT, to local communities, the organisations who apply, and to the public who vote for them.
North Wales Police Assistant Chief Constable Chris Allsop told the winners and invited guests: “Your Community, Your Choice is a fantastic scheme that gives local people the chance to directly influence how local issues are addressed. The scheme is part funded by the recovery of criminal property under the Proceeds of Crime Act, and it is absolutely right that we put this money back into community initiatives that seek to reduce crime and improve the quality of living here in North Wales. Those at the heart of our communities are often best placed to know how to tackle local issues, and I have no doubt whatsoever that this year’s winners will make a huge difference in their respective areas.”

The High Sheriffs Crimebeat Fund
This year saw the celebration of 20 years of Crimebeat in North Wales and High Sheriffs past and present together with invited guests attended a gala dinner at The Imperial Hotel, Llandudno and heard from three guest speakers the impact that Crimebeat has had on them.
Former High Sheriff Cadet, Joshua Taylor told the audience that he had gained valuable experience during his time as a High Sheriff Cadet and has since gone on to become a Special Constable with North Wales Police as well volunteering with St. John’s Ambulance and studying for a Policing Degree ate Wrexham Glyndŵr University.
Hannah Mart and Andrew Pearson spoke about their ‘Sharing Stories’ project developed by young people who had suffered sexual abuse and created a peer-support programme to help other young people going through similar experiences. ‘Sharing Stories’ was a national Crimebeat Project of the Year in 2020.
Scott Jenkinson from Youth Shedz Cymru explained how funding from Crimebeat in Clwyd and Gwynedd over recent years has helped to extend their reach with young people and the positive impact they are having with young people from disadvantaged backgrounds.
The celebration event was organised by current High Sheriffs, Zoë Henderson and Davina Carey-Evans who said:
“Tonight is a celebration of this wonderful collaboration and partnership between the North Wales Police, The High Sheriffs and the young people and communities of North Wales. Being involved with Crimebeat and seeing some of the fabulous projects, meeting the people involved is certainly one of the major highlights of being a High Sheriff.”
Crimebeat was set up in North Wales in 2002 by the then High Sheriffs of Gwynedd Patricia Hughes and Clwyd John Bradshaw.
Over the past 20 years Crimebeat North Wales has awarded grants of almost £250,000 to 600 projects helping around 25,000 young people and their communities across Gwynedd and Clwyd.
If you have got a good idea for a project that supports young people and helps to improve local communities please get in touch with us at: info@crimebeatnorthwales.co.uk

OP BANG (Be A Nice Guy) 2022
Together with North Wales Police and the Arson Reduction Team PACT has once again joined forces to ask people to 'Be a Nice Guy' with grants available through Operation BANG to support local initiatives that address deliberate fire-setting and anti-social behaviour over the Halloween and Bonfire period.
By working with key partners such as the North Wales Fire and Rescue Service, Community Safety Partnerships and local authorities, we are able to promote key messages through the 'Be a Nice Guy' initiative.
It has been identified that this approach, along with targeted diversionary activities which engage young people in fun and entertaining events, can be very effective in ensuring that everyone can enjoy themselves safely.

And Finally…..
In this World Cup year we were delighted to see the results of a project part-funded by PACT, Crimebeat and Gwynedd Youth Service that celebrated Wales’ qualification for the first time since 1958. In Caernarfon PCSO Julie Broadhead and Gwynedd Youth Worker, Barry Williams, had a busy few weeks planning their project for Op Bang this year and in November 2022 they attended Caernarfon town with 20 local young people, graffiti artist Andy Birch, PCSOs Gethin Jones, Ieuan Owen and Kerryanne Stephenson to complete a World Cup mural…and this is the final result!
PCSO Julie Broadhead said ”We were so lucky to commission the amazing graffiti artist, Andy Birch, for our Op Bang project this year. Barry and I wanted to involve the young people of Caernarfon and to do something amazing for the town that involved the upcoming World Cup. The young people thoroughly enjoyed helping Andy to complete the wall and we are so chuffed with the end result. This couldn’t have been done without the generous funding from PACT, Crimebeat, Gwynedd Youth Service, help from local counsellor, Dewi Jones, the young people, fellow PCSOs, the property owner and the artist himself, Andy Birch – thank you. I hope the people of Caernarfon love it as much as we do!”
This represents just one of many fantastic projects that PACT has been able to support this year. Find out more on our website and in the long list of grants that you will find in the appendix to this report.

Statement of Trustees’ Responsibilities
The trustees are responsible for preparing the Trustees' Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
The law applicable to charities in England and Wales requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and of the incoming resources and application of resources of the charity for that year.
In preparing these financial statements, the trustees are required to:
-
select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;

observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP;
-
make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
-
state whether applicable UK Accounting Standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; and

I report in respect of my examination of the charity’s financial statements carried out under section 145 of the 2011 Act. In carrying out my examination I have followed all the applicable directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act.
Independent examiner's statement
Your attention is drawn to the fact that the charity has prepared financial statements in accordance with Accounting and Reporting by Charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) in preference to the Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice issued on 1 April 2005 which is referred to in the extant regulations but has now been withdrawn.
I understand that this has been done in order for financial statements to provide a true and fair view in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Practice effective for reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2015.
I have completed my examination. I confirm that no matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect:

1 accounting records were not kept in respect of the charity as required by section 130 of the 2011 Act; or
-
the financial statements do not accord with those records; or
-
the financial statements do not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 other than any requirement that the accounts give a true and fair view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination.

Notes to the Accounts

North Wales Police and Community Trust For the year ended 31[st] March 2023
1. Accounting Policies
The principal accounting policies are summarised below. The accounting policies have been applied consistently throughout the year and in the preceding year.
a) Basis of Accounting
The accounts are drawn up on an accruals basis and in accordance with Statement of Recommended Practice: Accounting and Reporting by Charities , issued in March 2005.
b) Fund Accounting
-
Unrestricted Funds are available for use at the discretion of the Trustees in furtherance of the general objectives of the charity.
-
Restricted Funds are subject to restrictions on their expenditure imposed by the donor.
c) Incoming resources
All incoming resources are included in the statement of financial activities when the charity is entitled to the income and the amount can be quantified with reasonable accuracy. The following specific policies are applied to particular categories of income:
-
Voluntary income is received by way of grants, donations and gifts and is included in full in the Statement of Financial Activities when receivable. Grants, where entitlement is not conditional on the delivery of a specific performance by the charity, are recognised when the charity becomes unconditionally entitled to the grant.
-
Donated services and facilities are included at the value to the charity where this can be quantified.
-
Investment income is included when receivable.
-
Incoming resources from grants, where related to performance and specific deliverables, are accounted for as the charity earns the right to consideration by its performance.
d) Resources expended
