## **HUTS- Adroddiad blynyddol y Cadeirydd. HUTS – Chair’s Annual Report - 2020/2021.** It is fair to say that this has not been the year that we expected or planned for. The threat from the pandemic and resulting lockdowns brought a whole new level of anxiety and uncertainty to many people’s lives. In the toughest of times when HUTS was needed more than ever Covid restrictions meant that our workshops had to remain empty. Within weeks we had refocused our support to ensure that as many people as possible continued to get mental health support - not just those who had reached crisis point but also those who were isolated or fearful. We set up a telephone support service to serve our members and the wider community - a Call and Chat service that reached everyone who requested it, seven days a week, from morning to evening. If someone needed to off load their concerns or just wanted a conversation, HUTS was there for them. This was a huge challenge for the staff at HUTS who were asked to adapt to new hours and a totally different way of working. It meant adapting to new technology and meeting hundreds of different people. It involved adapting to new hours of working, sharing experiences on Zoom and fielding a bewildering variety of phone calls. We also continued our excellent Befriending service. Replacing face to face meetings but continuing to support those who faced isolation. Keeping the team of volunteers together as the months went on has been a daunting task but Kim has ensured that nobody has been behind. Steve has also played a blinder, keeping up momentum and making sure people didn’t give up. In all this we were supported by our funders, particularly Chris from the BLF, and guided by advice from Angie at WWAMH. We have been kept afloat by the careful stewardship of Allan our treasurer and the behind the scenes work of Mo, our secretary. Together they are a formidable team. There has been so much to celebrate and inspire us and this is the time to record our immense gratitude. I am indeed fortunate that I am the one who gets to say thank you. HUTS owes a huge debt of gratitude to colleagues, fellow trustees, donors and particularly to Sally our highly professional manager. Thanks too to our members who have remained upbeat even in the most difficult of times. Keeping HUTS going has been a team effort and has brought out the best in everyone. Now, perhaps, we can at last move gently towards re-opening the HUTS building and taking steps to resume normal service. The relaunch of HUTS will not be a straightforward process, nor will it be without hiccups. All we know is that it will happen before too long and when it does, we will be a stronger and better organisation because of what we have learned. So, thanks for your commitment and the caring way in which you have served the HUTS community. Diolch am eich ymdrechion yn ystod y flwyddyn anodd hon. Hywel Davies.
