## **HUTS – Chair’s Annual Report - 2023/2024** 

HUTS continues to operate for three days a week and member numbers have slowly increased, showing more confidence in returning to a normal way of life.  The Call & Chat remains but as the funding for the service finished in December, Kathryn Horton, Befriending Co-ordinator retired.  I would like to take this opportunity to thank her for all her hard work whilst working at HUTS. 

HUTS manger retired 31 March 2024. The Trustees are now responsible for all management functions, as well as Governance. Specific responsibilities are shared by Trustees. Staff members are to be commended for the smooth running  of  all  services.  Recent  staff  appraisals  have  been  extremely beneficial with everyone working as a team to ensure HUTS’ success, thank you. I thank Nancy for her help and advice during these meetings. 

The Funding group concentrated on the NLCF People & Places application, we were successful in Stage 1. We look forward to a positive response for Stage  2.   My thanks go  to  Al,  Gethin,  Jo and  Mo for  their  continuing endeavours. 

Extra workshops have been held this year. Mo, our trustee held a Christmas wreath and Easter flower arrangement sessions. Dr Dewi Davies Endowment Fund  courses,  Glass  fusion,  Wire  Sculpture  and  Drumming  were  very successful and evaluation questionnaires have been very complimentary. Members have been inspired - one hoping to start her own glass business whilst another has been looking for a college course. 

Ben Lake, our representative in Westminster was invited to attend our Open Day  in  August  as  the  guest  speaker.   His  positive  input  and  support continues to be invaluable.  The Open Day was well attended by HUTS Members, families, friends and the wider community. Interesting comments were made and conversations were fruitful in raising the awareness and purpose of HUTS. 

A joyous Christmas party held which was enjoyed by all. 

On 1 July 2023 HUTS entered a 4 year HDUHB Day Opportunities contract for Carmarthenshire area only. HUTS has received wonderful contributions and donations from the community; your support is very much appreciated. Thank  you  Angie  Darlington,  Managing  Director,  WWAMH  and  Rachel 



Richards, NLCF Funding Officer for advice and guidance. Finally, thank you, Trustees, Staff, volunteers and Members, for your efforts and commitment to ensure HUTS survives and thrives, providing Mental Health Support. 

Thank you all. Helen Davies, Chair
