HUTS - Chair’s Annual Report July 2024-2025
May I extend a very warm welcome and thank you for your attendance at HUTS Annual General Meeting.
As in previous years HUTS workshop continues to operate for three days a week with numbers fluctuating from week to week. Funding was successful from the Lottery Community Fund to continue the Call & Chat service and also appoint two new members of staff - Meinir Davies and Nic Malone. We welcome them both to the HUTS team. A big thanks to Steve for providing the training.
Last October, Carol who worked as a Support Worker decided to retire after many years. May I take this opportunity to wish her all the best for the future. She will be greatly missed. During this time it also became apparent that Sarah Frankish, who was also a workshop support worker retired for personal reasons. Once again, may I wish her all the best for the future. Trustees appointed Gwenda Savins to the workshop and she has settled in well and is happy in her role.
HUTS are now in the final year of the Dr Dewi Davies Community Foundation Fund grant, which has enabled us to offer a variety of extra workshops on Tuesdays, held by Mike and Pam.
Nancy and I have have met with staff, meetings which have been extremely beneficial. Staff are happy in the work environment and strive to ensure that HUTS is a success. I thank Nancy for her help, support and advice during these staff appraisal meetings.
As mentioned previously in November, HUTS secured a grant for the Call and Chat service, but unfortunately the Stage 2 bid for the NLCF People and Places was rejected. Feedback was requested from the Lottery and as Trustees it was decided to make adjustments to the application and re-submit in the future. The funding group has worked hard to try and address a number of issues. I would like to thank Al, Gethin, Jo and Mo for their continuing endeavours.
Another exciting development was the installation of the solar panels which was implemented by Severn Wye Energy. Al has worked tirelessly to ensure its success and this will be definitely have a positive effect on the running costs of HUTS. Diolch Al.
HUTS continues to receive funding from HDUHB Day Opportunities from Carmarthenshire and our thanks also goes to the local community and individuals for their generosity; their support is much appreciated. Thank you Angie Darlington , Managing Director of WWAMH and the National Lottery Community Fund.
None of the above would be possible without the commitment and dedication of our staff and volunteers. They strive to ensure that members are safe and happy and I would like to thank everyone for their hard working ensuring HUTS’ success. May I also thank all Trustees for their continuing support in ensuring that HUTS survives and thrives, providing mental health support in the local area.
Diolch pawb, Helen Chair
