Strwythur, Trefn Lywodraethol a Rheolaeth

Dogfen Lywodraethol

Mae’r sefydliad yn gwmni elusennol cyfyngedig trwy warant, a gorfforwyd ar 14[eg] Gorffennaf 2000 a’i gofrestru fel elusen ar 2[il] Mai 2001. Sefydlwyd y cwmni dan Femorandwm Sefydlu oedd yn pennu amcanion a phwerau’r cwmni elusennol ac fe’i rheolir dan Erthyglau’r Cwmni. Os digwydd i’r cwmni gael ei ddirwyn i ben, mae’n ofynnol i’r aelodau gyfrannu swm heb fod yn fwy na £1.

Recriwtio a Phenodi Ymddiriedolwyr

Mae cyfarwyddwyr y cwmni hefyd yn ymddiriedolwyr elusennol at ddiben cyfraith elusennol. O dan ofynion y Memorandwm Sefydlu ac Erthyglau’r Cwmni, mae’r ymddiriedolwyr wedi eu hethol i wasanaethu am gyfnod o dair blynedd ac ar ôl hynny rhaid iddynt gael eu hail-ethol yn y Cyfarfod Cyffredinol Blynyddol nesaf.

Yn y Cyfarfod Cyffredinol Blynyddol a gynhaliwyd ar 3 Gorffennaf 2020, cadarnhaodd y cyfarfod benodiadau Mr Harry Perera (ymddiriedolwr ifanc cyntaf TCC) a’r Hybarch Chris Potter, a oedd wedi’u cyfethol ym mis Chwefror 2020. Safodd y Parchedig Anna Jane Evans, y Doethor Farookh Jishi, a Ms Alison Williams i gael eu hailethol yn dilyn tymor o dair blynedd ac fe’u hailetholwyd. Ymddiswyddodd Mrs Ann Owen o bwrdd yr ymddiriedolwyr; mae’r ymddiriedolwyr, y grwpiau sy’n aelodau ac aelodau’r staff yn diolch i Ann am ei holl waith caled a’i chefnogaeth yn ystod ei thymor gwasanaeth. Ymddiswyddodd y Parchedig Ddoethor Jennifer Hurd hefyd o fod yn ymddiriedolwr a chadeirydd ar ôl cwblhau dau dymor ar y bwrdd; mynegodd yr ymddiriedolwyr, y grwpiau sy’n aelodau ac aelodau’r staff ddiolch o galon iddi am ei gwaith. Cytunodd y Doethor Farookh Jishi, yr is-gadeirydd, i wasanaethu fel cadeirydd dros dro, tra byddai’r ymddiriedolwyr yn penderfynu pwy ddylai gymryd yr awenau fel cadeirydd.

Pleidleisiodd y Cyfarfod Cyffredinol Blynyddol i ethol Ms Andrea Faulkner i’r bwrdd ac ym mis Tachwedd 2020 cafodd Ms Chembo Liandisha ei chyfethol i’r bwrdd. Yn anffodus, canfu’r ddwy fod angen iddynt ymddiswyddo fel ymddiriedolwyr yn ystod y flwyddyn.

Chwech yw isafrif yr ymddiriedolwyr ac ugain yw’r nifer uchaf.

Mae’r ymddiriedolwyr yn awyddus i dîm yr ymddiriedolwyr barhau i adlewyrchu'r grwpiau sy’n perthyn i TCC ond hefyd bod ymddiriedolwyr sydd â sgiliau rheolaethol, cyllidol, cyfreithiol ac eraill yn cael eu cynnwys yn y tîm. Gofynnir i holl aelodau TCC, ac nid yr ymddiriedolwyr yn unig, chwilio am unigolion addas fydd yn barod i sefyll fel ymgeiswyr mewn etholiad.

Sefydlu a Hyfforddi Ymddiriedolwyr

Hyd yn hyn, mae’r holl ymddiriedolwyr wedi bod yn gyfarwydd â gwaith TCC cyn sefyll fel ymddiriedolwyr. Disgwylir bod pob ymddiriedolwr eisoes wedi mynychu sesiynau hyfforddi ar egwyddorion trefnu cymunedol eang, neu disgwylir iddynt fynychu’r sesiwn hyfforddi nesaf fydd ar gael. Heblaw mynychu cyfarfodydd chwarterol, bydd yr ymddiriedolwyr hefyd yn cyfarfod â’i gilydd bob blwyddyn am ddiwrnod ac yn ystod y cyfnod hwn bydd unrhyw gyfarwyddebau newydd sy’n berthnasol i TCC, naill ai fel elusen neu fel cwmni, yn cael eu hastudio yn ogystal ag unrhyw bwnc neu hyfforddiant arall priodol. Caiff cyfarfod anwytho ei gynnal gydag ymddiriedolwyr newydd lle maen nhw’n derbyn ffeil gyda Memorandwm ac Erthyglau Cymdeithasu TCC, dogfennau polisïau a gweithdrefnau a disgrifiadau swydd staff. Caiff ymddiriedolwyr newydd hefyd eu paru gyda chyfaill sydd hefyd yn ymddiriedolwr.

Bu ymddiriedolwyr a phrif drefnyddion mewn prynhawn hyfforddi ynghylch llywodraethiant ym mis Ionawr 2021. Amlygodd yr hyfforddiant, a gyflwynwyd gan Leading Governance, feysydd i’w gwella a’u datblygu, ac mae’r ymddiriedolwyr bellach wedi dechrau gweithio ar gynllun ar gyfer hynny.

Rheoli Risg

Yn ystod y flwyddyn bu’r ymddiriedolwyr yn adolygu’r prif risgiau mae’r elusen yn eu hwynebu, a lle bo’n briodol, mae gweithdrefnau wedi’u sefydlu i liniaru’r risgiau i’r elusen.

Ar ddiwedd y flwyddyn ariannol, cychwynnodd yr ymddiriedolwyr ar archwiliad mewnol cyffredinol o’r sefydliad er mwyn nodi risgiau, a’r camau cyntaf y cytunwyd arnynt o ganlyniad i hynny yw:

Llunio llawlyfr llywodraethu yn seiliedig ar batrwm llywodraethu cadarn y cytunwyd arno sy’n llywio unrhyw gynllun dirprwyo. Ategir hynny â dilyn yr arfer gorau, rhoi gweithdrefnau monitro ar waith, llunio llawlyfr staff cynhwysfawr sy’n cydnabod y gwaith a wneir gan aelodau staff unigol ac adolygu dyletswyddau ymddiriedolwyr ar sail canllawiau’r Comisiwn Elusennau.

Gwaith pellach ar raglen barhaus o recriwtio a chylchdroi Ymddiriedolwyr.

Sefydlu pwyllgor cyllid gyda chylch gorchwyl addas i sicrhau craffu a chefnogaeth gryfach fyth ar gyfer y trysorydd, yr ymddiriedolwyr ac aelodau’r staff.

Cynllunio ar gyfer y cyfnod ôl-COVID yn enwedig o safbwynt gofod swyddfa, arferion gwaith diwygiedig a sicrhau grantiau ariannol.

Cynhelir archwiliadau iechyd a diogelwch blynyddol a’u cofnodi, a bydd yn ofynnol i aelodau’r staff gwblhau asesiad risg gweithio gartref. Gyda’r tîm staff wedi symud i weithio ar-lein, a’r holl gyfarfodydd a gweithgareddau’n cael eu cynnal ar-lein o fis Ebrill 2020, addaswyd ein gweithdrefnau diogelu i sicrhau y gallem gyflawni ein cyfrifoldebau parthed diogelwch pobl ifanc wrth weithio ar lein.

Strwythur trefniadaeth

Mae’r Ymddiriedolwyr yn cyfarfod o leiaf deirgwaith y flwyddyn. Cyfrifoldeb yr ymddiriedolwyr yw sicrhau bod TCC yn cwrdd â’i holl ymrwymiadau cyfreithiol a goruchwylio’r cyllidau. Maent hefyd yn gwarchod unplygrwydd TCC ac yn ymwneud yn uniongyrchol ag unrhyw benderfyniadau pwysig. Maent yn sicrhau’n benodol bod gweithgareddau TCC yn bodloni gofynion cyfarwyddyd y Comisiwn Elusennau ar les y cyhoedd. Mae nifer o’r ymddiriedolwyr yn cymryd rhan weithredol mewn is-grwpiau megis Cyllid a Phersonél, yn ogystal ag agweddau eraill ar waith TCC. Bydd yr isgrwpiau’n adrodd nôl ac yn cyflwyno argymhellion i dîm llawn yr ymddiriedolwyr. Mae un ymddiriedolwr yn rhan o dîm hyfforddi’r sefydliad. Bydd rhai o’r ymddiriedolwyr yn mynychu’r cyfarfod strategaeth fisol, sy’n sicrhau bod yr ymddiriedolwyr ac aelodau’r tîm strategaeth yn ymwybodol o waith y naill a’r llall a bod gwybodaeth yn llifo dwyffordd.

Mae’r tîm strategaeth, sy’n cynnwys cynrychiolaeth o bob aelod-sefydliad, yn cyfarfod i werthuso gwaith cyfredol TCC, er mwyn penderfynu pa faterion sy’n addas ar gyfer mynd i’r afael â nhw, yn ogystal â phennu cyfeiriadau newydd mewn perthynas â materion cyfredol. Mae’r tîm strategaeth yn cysylltu’n uniongyrchol â’r gweithgorau ynglŷn â phob mater, ac â’r ymddiriedolwyr ac aelodsefydliadau.

Structure, Governance, and Management

Governing Document

The organisation is a charitable company limited by guarantee, incorporated on 14[th] July 2000 and registered as a charity 2[nd] May 2001. The company was established under a Memorandum of Association which established the objects and powers of the charitable company and is governed under its Articles of Association. In the event of the company being wound up members are required to contribute an amount not exceeding £1.

Recruitment and Appointment of Trustees

The directors of the company are also charity trustees for the purpose of charity law. Under the requirements of the Memorandum and Articles of Association the trustees are elected to serve for a period of three years after which they must be re-elected at the next Annual General Meeting.

At the Annual General Meeting on 3[rd] July 2020 the meeting confirmed the appointments of Mr Harry Perera (TCC’s first young trustee) and The Venerable Chris Potter, who had been co-opted in February 2020. Rev Anna Jane Evans, Dr Farookh Jishi, and Ms Alison Williams stood for reelection following a three-year term and were re-elected. Mrs Ann Owen stepped down from the trustee board; trustees, member groups and staff thank Ann for all her hard work and support during her term. Rev Dr Jennifer Hurd also stood down from her role as trustee and chair after completing two terms on the board; trustees, member groups and staff extended an enormous thank you for her work. Dr Farookh Jishi, as vice-chair, agreed to take the role of acting chair, whilst trustees agreed who would take over as chair.

The AGM voted to elect Ms Andrea Faulkner to the board and in November 2020, Ms Chembo Liandisha was co-opted to the board. Unfortunately both trustees found they needed to step down from the role during the year.

The minimum number of trustees is six and the maximum number is twenty.

The trustees seek to ensure that the trustee team continues to reflect the groups that belong to TCC, and also that trustees with managerial, financial, legal and other skills are incorporated into the team. All members of TCC, not just trustees, are asked to seek out suitable candidates to stand for election.

Trustee Induction and Trainings

To date all trustees have been familiar with the work of TCC before their election. All trustees are expected to have already attended training on the principles of broadbased community organising, or to attend the next available training session. Besides attending quarterly meetings, trustees meet for an annual longer meeting together at which any new directives relevant to TCC, either as a charity or as a company, are studied, as well as any other appropriate topic or training. An induction meeting is held with new trustees and they are provided with a file with TCC’s Memorandum and Articles of Association, policy and procedure documents and staff job descriptions. New trustees are also matched with a trustee buddy.

Trustees and lead organisers attended a governance training afternoon in January 2021. The training, delivered by Leading Governance, highlighted areas for improvement and development, a plan for which trustees have begun to work on.

Risk Management

During the year the trustees have reviewed the major risks to which the charity is exposed, and where appropriate, procedures have been established to mitigate the risks that the charity faces.

At the end of the financial year, trustees commenced a general internal audit of the organisation in order to identify risks, of which the first actions agreed are:

To create a governance manual based on a robust and agreed governance model which informs any scheme of delegation. This will be supported by best practice, monitoring procedures, and a comprehensive staff handbook with acknowledgement of work done by individual staff members, and a review of trustees’ duties based on Charity Commission guidance.

Further work on an ongoing programme of trustee recruitment and rotation.

Setting up a finance committee with suitable terms of reference to ensure even stronger scrutiny and support for treasurer, trustees, and staff.

Planning for post-Covid times especially office space, revised working practices and financial grants. Annual health and safety checks are undertaken and documented, with staff required to complete a working from home risk assessment. With the staff team having moved to working online, and all meetings and activities taking place online from April 2020, we adjusted our safeguarding procedures to ensure we could meet our responsibilities for the safety of young people whilst working online.

Organisational Structure

Trustees must meet at least three times a year. The trustees are responsible for TCC meeting all of its legal obligations and for overseeing the finances. They also protect the integrity of TCC and are directly involved in any major decisions. They particularly ensure that TCC’s activities meet the Charity Commission’s guidance on public benefit. Many trustees are actively involved in subgroups such as Personnel. Subgroups report back with recommendations to the full trustee team. One trustee is part of the organisation’s training team. Some of the trustees attend the monthly strategy meeting, which ensures that trustees and strategy team members are aware of the work of each other and that there is a two-way flow of information.

The strategy team, drawn from each member group, meets to evaluate the current work of TCC, to decide which issues are appropriate to work on, as well as to determine new directions within current issues. The strategy team link directly to the working groups for each issue, as well as to trustees and member groups.

The day to day management of TCC has been delegated by the trustees to the lead organiser.

Lles cyhoeddus

Mae amcanion TCC fel a ganlyn:

  1. Datblygu gallu cynhyrchu a sgiliau aelodau o gymunedau sydd dan anfantais gymdeithasol ac economaidd yng Nghymru a’r tiroedd sy’n ffinio â’r wlad hon, a hynny yn y fath fodd fel eu bod yn gallu adnabod a chwrdd â’u gofynion yn well yn ogystal â chymryd rhan iawnach mewn cymdeithas.

  2. Hybu, at ddibenion lles cyhoeddus, unrhyw ddibenion elusennol ac yn arbennig unrhyw ddibenion elusennol sy’n gysylltiedig â:

  3. a) hybu cyfleoedd addysgol a chyfleoedd hyfforddi, gyda phwyslais arbennig ar ddarparu mynediad i gyfleoedd o’r fath i bobl sydd, oherwydd anfantais gymdeithasol ac economaidd, fel arall yn methu cael mynediad iddynt ac wrth argymell egwyddorion dinasyddiaeth dda a chynnig dealltwriaeth weithredol o’r gyfraith, gwleidyddiaeth, cymdeithas, crefydd, moesau, masnach, diwydiant, y celfyddydau, ecoleg a phynciau eraill, i’r graddau y gellir bod yn gydnaws â dinasyddiaeth dda.

  4. b) symud addysg y cyhoedd yn ei blaen ym mhob mater sy’n ymwneud â’r amgylchedd, ei gadwraeth, amddiffyniad a phynciau cysylltiedig ag annog defnyddio’r cyfryw arferion

  5. c) adfywiad dinesig neu wledig mewn ardaloedd lle ceir amddifadiad cymdeithasol ac economaidd

  6. ch) hybu datblygiad personol drwy annog a galluogi pobl i gaffael y sgiliau angenrheidiol er mwyn cymryd rhan weithredol mewn bywyd dinesig

  7. d) amddiffyn, gwella a gwarchod yr amgylchedd

  8. dd) lliniaru tlodi

  9. e) darparu cyfleusterau iechyd cyhoeddus a gofal plant

  10. f) hybu diogelwch cyhoeddus ac atal troseddau

Prif nod TCC yw datblygu unigolion a’u sefydliadau fel y gallant weithredu yn effeithiol ar sail eu gwerthoedd er lles y gymuned drwy eu hymwneud ȃ bywyd dinesig. Fel grŵp Trefnu Cymunedol hynaf y Deyrnas Unedig mae TCC yn parhau i arloesi ffordd newydd o gynorthwyo pobl i gael llais yn eu dyfodol eu hunain.

Mae TCC yn hybu ei ddibenion elusennol er lles y cyhoedd drwy gwrdd â’r amcanion uchod a hynny drwy hyfforddi aelodau (tua chant ohonynt yn y flwyddyn a aeth heibio) a’u cyfarparu i gymryd rhan gyflawn yn eu cymunedau, a thrwy hynny oresgyn yr anfanteision cymdeithasol ac economaidd y maent yn eu hwynebu. Bydd TCC wedyn yn gweithio ochr yn ochr â nhw, yn eu hyfforddi i weithredu, wrth iddynt gwrdd ag anghenion eu cymunedau drwy weithio ar faterion sy’n effeithio arnynt a’r gymuned ehangach.

Cyflawniadau a Pherfformiad 2020 – 21

Fel ar gyfer pob corff, roedd 2020-21 yn golygu newid cyflym a sylweddol yn y ffordd roedd TCC yn gweithio. Bu’n rhaid i ni symud ar frys o sefyllfa pan oedd ein holl waith yn cael ei gyflawni wyneb yn wyneb i weithio’n gyfan gwbl ar-lein. Mae TCC mewn sefyllfa ffodus, gan ei bod yn bosibl cyflawni’r rhan fwyaf o’n gwaith ar-lein, ac rydym wedi parhau i weithio ar faterion penodol, wedi cynnal digwyddiad llwyddiannus i nodi ein pen-blwydd yn 25 mlwydd oed, ac wedi parhau i adeiladu ein haelodaeth. Wedi dweud hynny, nid ydym wedi gallu darparu ein hyfforddiant preswyl wyneb yn wyneb ac rydym yn edrych ymlaen at allu cynnig hynny eto yn ystod 2021-22.

Mae’r manteision o weithio ar-lein yn unig wedi bod yn sylweddol - mae mwy o bobl o ystod ehangach o’r grwpiau sy’n aelodau wedi gallu cyfrannu at ein gweithgorau i ddatblygu gwaith ar wahanol faterion ac mae mwy o bobl wedi cymryd rhan yn ein cyfarfodydd strategaeth misol (sy’n gosod agenda waith y TCC ac yn adolygu’r cynnydd gyda’r gwaith ar faterion penodol). Fodd bynnag, mae ffurfio a chynnal perthynas yn ganolog i drefnu cymunedol, ac mae llawer wedi’i golli oherwydd methu â chyfarfod wyneb yn wyneb.

Aelodaeth

Gyda rhagor o aelodau staff, rydym wedi gallu trafod mwy gydag amrywiol grwpiau ynghylch y materion sy’n effeithio ar eu cymunedau a swyddogaeth trefnu cymunedol wrth ymateb i’r materion hynny. I’r perwyl hwnnw, eleni rydym wedi bod yn falch o groesawu 10 o grwpiau newydd i TCC: Gwrthryfel Difodiant Wrecsam, Flintshire City of Sanctuary , Flintshire DO-IT , Cyfeillion y Ddaear Llangollen a’r Cylch, Cwmni Buddiannau Cymunedol reSource , Cyfeillion y Ddaear Rhuthun, Ymddiriedolaeth Mary Dei, Yellow & Blue , We Are Plas Madoc , a’r Tŷ Gwyrdd.

Rydym bob amser yn chwilio am aelodau newydd ac yn annog ein haelodau presennol i gyflwyno grwpiau newydd i TCC. Yn ystod y flwyddyn ariannol nesaf byddwn yn chwilio am grwpiau newydd i ymuno â TCC o Sir y Fflint a Sir Ddinbych.

Cyllid

Rydym yn gwerthfawrogi’n fawr y cyllid a glustnodwyd ar ein cyfer yn ystod y flwyddyn ariannol flaenorol gan Gronfa Gymunedol y Loteri Genedlaethol, y Tudor Trust a Chronfa Act for Change ac mae’r grantiau hynny wedi sicrhau dilyniant, gan eu bod yn parhau dros sawl blwyddyn.

Yn sgil y berthynas a adeiladwyd gyda Sefydliad Bevan yn ystod ein gwaith ar ymgyrch Stop School Hunger / Dysgu Nid Llwgu, cysylltodd y sefydliad â TCC gyda chynnig i ni weithio mewn partneriaeth ar ddau brosiect. Derbyniasom £7,500 i ariannu mwy o waith gan ein prif drefnwyr am naw mis i gyflawni prosiect partneriaeth yn gweithio ar faterion tlodi, arian a ddyrannwyd o grant gan Joseph Rowntree Foundation . Yn yr ail bartneriaeth, clustnodwyd £22,500 i ehangu ein gwaith â phobl sydd wedi mudo, a hynny dros gyfnod o ddeuddeng mis. Arian oedd hwnnw a ddyfarnwyd gan Paul Hamlyn Foundation yn wreiddiol. Rydym yn ddiolchgar iawn i’r cyllidwyr hyn ac i Sefydliad Bevan am barhau â’u cefnogaeth ac â’u perthynas â TCC.

Bu ein cyllidwyr yn hyblyg ac yn gefnogol wrth i ni ymateb i heriau symud ein holl waith ar lein ac rydym yn ddiolchgar am hynny.

Mae TCC hefyd yn ddiolchgar iawn i Chwiorydd La Sante Union yn Wrecsam am barhau i’n cynorthwyo drwy ddarparu swyddfeydd ac ystafell gyfarfod. Mae hyn yn werth tua £7,000 y flwyddyn, ac mae’n ein galluogi i gadw ein costau cynnal cyn ised â phosibl – edrychwn ymlaen at ddychwelyd i’n swyddfeydd pan fydd hynny’n ymarferol.

.

Hefyd, mae gwaith yr ymddiriedolwyr a’r arweinwyr wedi ychwanegu’n aruthrol i’r gefnogaeth mewn nwyddau.

Yn ystod y flwyddyn codwyd £5,233 drwy raglen cefnogwyr misol TCC. Daw hyn i tua £6,500 ar ôl ychwanegu Cymorth Rhodd. Hoffai’r ymddiriedolwyr ddiolch yn arbennig i’r unigolion yn rhaglen cefnogwyr TCC, ac annog unrhyw un arall sy’n gallu gwneud hynny i ystyried ymuno â chyfrannu’n rheolaidd i TCC. Mae taliadau aelodaeth yn dal i fod yn elfen hanfodol o’n cyllid, eleni yn dod i £5,450.

Mae cyllidwyr bellach yn aml yn gofyn am dystiolaeth o waith codi arian gan y sefydliad ei hun, felly mae’r ffaith i ni lwyddo i godi’r arian uchod hefyd o gymorth mawr i ni wrth i ni ymgeisio am grantiau mwy. Ers sawl blwyddyn rydym wedi bod yn cynnal ‘Wythnos TCC’, yn flynyddol, gan drefnu amrywiaeth o weithgareddau codi arian yn y gymuned. O ystyried bod ein sefyllfa ariannol yn gryf eleni, ac yn wyneb effeithiau’r pandemig, penderfynwyd y byddai’n amhriodol cynnal Wythnos TCC yn 2020.

Gweithio gyda phartneriaid

Hoffai’r ymddiriedolwyr ddiolch i’r sefydliadau niferus y bu TCC yn gweithio gyda hwy dros y flwyddyn ddiwethaf - rydym yn gwerthfawrogi’r holl gysylltiadau hyn ac ni allem wneud ein gwaith hebddynt.

Mae’r ffaith ein bod yn rhan o Gynghrair Gwrth-dlodi Cymru yn golygu ein bod yn gallu gweithredu’n gyflym gyda’n gilydd ar gamau allweddol yn y gwaith yn erbyn tlodi yng Nghymru, yn ogystal â gweithredu ar lefel mwy hirdymor. Mae’r gwaith o ddatblygu agweddau newydd ar ein gwaith ym maes tai a newid yn yr hinsawdd wedi’i lywio gan lawer o drafodaethau gyda chyrff arbenigol, ac rydym yn ddiolchgar iddynt.

Rydym yn parhau i gydweithio’n agos ag amrywiaeth o sefydliadau drwy ein gwaith Tref Noddfa, gan gynnwys AVOW (Cymdeithas Mudiadau Gwirfoddol Wrecsam), Bawso, y Groes Goch Brydeinig, Coleg Cambria, Ffrindiau i Deuluoedd, UAREUK, Wrexham VOICES Network a Siambrau Eastgate.

Hoffai’r bwrdd ddiolch i Esgobaeth Llanelwy yr Eglwys yng Nghymru am gyfraniad yr Esgob Gregory Cameron yn ei swyddogaeth fel noddwr TCC ac yn enwedig am ei gyfraniad i’n digwyddiad dathlu ein chwarter canrif. Hoffai’r bwrdd ddiolch hefyd i’r Doethor Farookh Jishi am weithredu fel cadeirydd dros dro bwrdd ymddiriedolwyr TCC. Rydym hefyd yn ddiolchgar iawn am gefnogaeth Eglwys Bresbyteraidd Cymru drwy’r Parchedig Anna Jane Evans, sy’n aelod o Fwrdd Ymddiriedolwyr TCC.

Hyfforddiant

Gan i’n hyfforddiant preswyl trefnu cymunedol a oedd wedi’i drefnu gael ei ganslo, penderfynasom yn hytrach gynnal dau weithdy rhagarweiniol ar drefnu cymunedol, ‘Sut gall cymunedau lleol fod yn bwerus?’. Anelwyd y rhain at bobl o grwpiau sy’n aelodau sy’n llai cyfarwydd â’n gwaith, a grwpiau aelodau newydd posibl yn y Gogledd-ddwyrain. Cynhaliodd ein Trefnydd Ieuenctid a Chymunedol ddwy gyfres hyfforddi Campaign Kickstarter ar gyfer pobl ifanc. Mynychodd chwe arweinydd ifanc newydd a bu’n hyfforddiant gloywi i rai a fu ynglŷn â’r gwaith eisoes.

Mae sefydlu dau weithgor materion penodol (tai a newid hinsawdd) a threfnu gweithredu cysylltiedig wedi cynnig ystod eang o gyfleoedd i arweinwyr ddysgu sut i drefnu’n ymarferol.

Mae croeso i unrhyw un o grwpiau aelod TCC fanteisio ar ein hyfforddiant preswyl yn rhad ac am ddim. Mae’r sesiynau yn gyfle ichi ddatblygu perthnasau gydag eraill o wahanol grwpiau a’r nod yn y pendraw ydy rhoi hwb i’ch hyder a datblygu’r sgiliau angenrheidiol i weithio’n effeithiol yn eich cymuned. Rydym hefyd yn cynnig cyrsiau unigryw yn rhad ac am ddim i aelodau TCC. Gallwn eu trefnu fel eu bod yn diwallu anghenion y grŵp.

Personél

Ym mis Gorffennaf 2020, aeth Chloe Gallagher ar absenoldeb mamolaeth, gyda Lucy Allin yn cynyddu ei horiau am gyfnod i gwmpasu’r rôl trefnydd ieuenctid a chymunedol. Fodd bynnag, wrth iddi ddod yn amlwg na fyddem yn gallu gweithio gydag ysgolion am gryn amser, lleihawyd yr oriau hyn, ac rydym yn ddiolchgar i gronfa Act for Change am ein galluogi i estyn y cyfnod cyllido.

Roeddem yn falch iawn o groesawu Lucy Kebell i’r tîm ym mis Gorffennaf i weithio fel ein swyddog cyfathrebu cyntaf.

Arolwg Ariannol

Y Prif Ffynonellau Cyllido

Ystod o grantiau yw prif ffynonellau cyllido TCC yn 2020-21. Bu inni dderbyn cyllid gan:

Mae’r grantiau’n ychwanegol at y ffioedd blynyddol a delir gan y grwpiau sy’n aelodau a’r arian o Raglen y Cefnogwyr a digwyddiadau codi arian.

Y Polisi Arian Wrth Gefn

Mae gan yr ymddiriedolwyr bolisi cyfrifon wrth gefn sy’n caniatau i ni gadw swm cydradd â gwariant anghyfyngedig 6 -12 mis er mwyn diogelu parhad gwaith craidd TCC. Ar ddiwedd y flwyddyn ariannol hon roedd gan yr elusen gwerth tua 11 mis o arian anghyfyngedig wrth gefn.

Polisi Buddsoddiad

Mae Erthyglau Memorandwm TCC yn awdurdodi dodi mewn cyfrif neu fuddsoddi arian nad yw ei angen i’w ddibenion ar unwaith. O ganlyniad, agorwyd cyfrif Cronfa Buddsoddiad Swyddogol Elusennau (COIF) ym mis Mai 2008.

Cynllunio am y dyfodol

Diben trefnu cymunedol ydy datblygu perthnasau cadarnhaol a chyhoeddus gyda’r rheiny sydd mewn grym. Mae’n meithrin perthnasau cymunedol hirdymor ac yn cynnig model ar gyfer pobl o bob lliw a llun i ymwneud yn ddemocrataidd gyda gwneud penderfyniadau. Rydym yn credu’n gryf mewn amseroedd gwleidyddol, cymdeithasol, economaidd ac amgylcheddol hollt, bod trefnu cymunedol yn hanfodol. Gwyddom fod effaith COVID-19 a’r sawl cyfnod clo wedi dwysáu a gwaethygu anghydraddoldebau cymdeithasol, a byddwn yn parhau i geisio dod o hyd i hanesion ynghylch sut mae hynny wedi effeithio ar gymunedau ac i ganfod materion y gallwn weithio arnynt er sicrhau newid ymarferol.

Gydag un ar ddeg o grwpiau newydd wedi ymaelodi, ac arweinwyr newydd yn codi o grwpiau hirsefydlog, rydym yn awyddus iawn i gynnal ein hyfforddiant preswyl yn hydref 2021. Gwyddom hefyd fod angen i ni ddiwallu anghenion a disgwyliadau aelodaeth sylweddol fwy yn effeithiol, a dod ag arweinwyr newydd a rhai mwy profiadol ynghyd ar sail diddordebau a gwerthoedd cyffredin. Ar nodyn ymarferol, byddwn yn gweithio gyda’r grwpiau sy’n aelodau a’n harweinwyr i gytuno ar y ffordd orau o ddechrau gweithio wyneb yn wyneb eto, a gallai hynny olygu buddsoddi mewn offer a fyddai’n caniatáu cynnal cyfarfodydd wyneb yn wyneb y gellid ymuno â hwy ar-lein hefyd.

Gyda thîm staff sydd wedi ei ehangu’n gymharol ddiweddar, newidiadau yn y Bwrdd Ymddiriedolwyr a’r newid i weithio ar-lein sydd bellach yn dod yn arferol, dyma’r cyfle hefyd i adolygu, cryfhau a gwella ein prosesau llywodraethu.

Public Benefit

The objectives of TCC are to:

  1. develop the capacity and skills of the members of socially and economically disadvantaged communities in Wales and its borderlands in such ways that they are better able to identify, and help meet, their needs and to participate more fully in society.

  2. promote for public benefit any charitable purposes and in particular charitable purposes connected with:

  3. a) promotion of educational and training opportunities with special emphasis on providing access to such opportunities for people who are by reason of social and economic disadvantage otherwise unable to gain access and on inculcating the principles of good citizenship and advancing active understanding of law, politics, society, religion, morals, commerce, industry, arts, ecology and other subjects in so far as to be conducive to good citizenship.

  4. b) advancing the education of the public in all matters relating to the environment, its conservation, protection and related subjects and encourage the use of such practice.

  5. c) urban or rural regeneration in areas of social and economic deprivation

  6. d) promoting personal development by encouraging and enabling people to acquire the skills required to take an active part in civic life

  7. e) protection, enhancement and conservation of the environment

  8. f) relief of poverty

  9. g) provision of public health facilities and childcare

  10. h) promotion of public safety and prevention of crime.

TCC’s key aim is capacity building, developing individuals and their institutions who can act effectively on their values for the common good through their involvement in civic life. As the oldest Community Organising group in the UK TCC continues to pioneer a new way of allowing people to have a voice in their own futures.

TCC furthers its charitable purposes for the public benefit by meeting the objectives above through training members and others and equipping them to participate fully in their communities and thus overcome the social and economic disadvantages they face. TCC then works alongside people, training them in action, as they meet the needs of their communities by working on issues that affect them and the wider community.

Achievements and Performance 2020 – 21

As for every organisation, 2020-21 entailed a rapid and significant change in the way TCC works. We had to move swiftly from all our work being delivered in person, to working entirely online. TCC is in a fortunate position in that most of our work can be delivered in this way, and we have progressed work on issues, held a successful event to mark our 25[th] anniversary, and continued to build our membership. That being said, we have not been able to deliver our in person residential training and are looking forward to being able to run that again in 2021-22.

The benefits to working solely online have been significant- more people from across a wider range of our member groups have been able to access our working groups to progress issues and more people have participated in our monthly strategy meetings (which set the TCC’s working agenda and reviews progress on issues). Community organising has relational working at its core, however, and much has been missed by not being able to meet in person.

Membership

Our increased staff capacity has meant we have been able to have more conversations with diverse groups about the issues affecting their communities and the relevance of community organising in responding to those. To that end, this year we have been pleased to welcome 10 new groups to TCC: Extinction Rebellion Wrexham, Flintshire City of Sanctuary, Flintshire Do-It CIC, Llangollen and District Friends of the Earth, reSource CIC, Ruthin Friends of the Earth, The Mary Dei Trust, Yellow & Blue, We Are Plas Madoc, and Y Tŷ Gwyrdd.

We are always looking for new members, and encourage our existing members to introduce new groups to TCC. Over the next financial year, we will particularly be seeking new groups to join TCC from Flintshire and Denbighshire.

Finances

The funding commitments TCC received in the previous financial year from the National Lottery Community Fund, The Tudor Trust and Act for Change Fund have been much appreciated and have provided continuity, as these are multi-year grants.

As a result of the relationship built with the Bevan Foundation during our work on the Stop School Hunger / Dysgu Nid Llwygu campaign, TCC was approached by the Bevan Foundation to work in partnership on two projects. We received £7,500 towards additional lead organiser capacity for nine months to deliver a partnership project working on poverty issues, which was re-granted from the Joseph Rowntree Foundation. In the second partnership, £22,500 was committed to expand our work with people who have experienced migration, over 12 months. This funding was re-granted from the Paul Hamlyn Foundation. We are very thankful to these funders and the Bevan Foundation for their ongoing support and relationship with TCC.

Our grant funders have been flexible and supportive as we have navigated the challenges of moving all our work online and we are grateful for that.

TCC is also very grateful to the Sisters of La Sante Union in Wrexham for their ongoing support in kind, namely the provision of offices and meeting room. The value of this is around £7,000 per annum, and allows us to keep our running costs to the bare minimum – we look forward to returning to our offices when possible.

In addition, the work of trustees and leaders has added enormously to the support in kind.

19

.

During the year TCC’s monthly supporter’s programme has raised £5,233. This will total approximately £6,500 once Gift Aid has been added. The trustees would like to extend a special note of thanks to the individuals in TCC’s supporter programme, and encourage anyone else able to do so to consider joining and making a regular donation to TCC. Membership dues continue to be a vital element of our funding, this year raising £5,450.

Funders often now ask for evidence of an organisation’s own fundraising, so the money raised is also incredibly helpful when applying for larger grants. Over the past few years we have held an annual ‘TCC Week’, running a range of community fundraising activities. Given our strong financial position year, together with the upheavals of the pandemic, we decided it would be inappropriate to run TCC Week in 2020.

Working with partners

The trustees would like to thank the many organisations that TCC has worked with over the last year- we value all these relationships and could not do our work without them.

Being part of the Wales Anti-Poverty Coalition means we are collectively able to act swiftly on key developments in the work against poverty in Wales, as well as taking a longer term approach. The development of our new issues on housing and climate change have been informed by many conversations with specialist organisations, and we are grateful to them.

We continue to work closely with a range of organisations through our Town of Sanctuary work, including AVOW (Association of Voluntary Organisations in Wrexham), Bawso, British Red Cross, Coleg Cambria, Family Friends, UAREUK, and Wrexham VOICES Network and Eastgate Chambers.

The board would like to thank the Church in Wales Diocese of St. Asaph for the contribution of Bishop Gregory Cameron in his role as TCC’s patron and particularly for his role at our 25[th] anniversary event. The board would further like to thank Dr Farookh Jishi for taking up the role of acting chair of TCC’s board of trustees. We are also very grateful for the Presbyterian Church of Wales’ support through Rev Anna Jane Evans who sits on TCC’s board of trustees.

Training

With our scheduled residential community organising training cancelled, we decided instead to hold two introductory workshops to community organising, ‘ How can communities be powerful ?’. These were aimed at people from member groups who are less familiar with our work, and potential new member groups in north east Wales. Our youth and community organiser ran two Campaign Kickstarter training series for young people. These engaged six new young leaders and acted as a refresher training for those who had been involved before.

Establishing two new issue working groups (housing and climate change), and running associated actions has provided a breadth of opportunities for leaders to learn organising in practice.

Our residential training is available to anyone from a TCC member group free of charge. It offers a chance to build relationships with others from diverse groups and aims to develop the skills and confidence needed to be effective in the local community. We also offer bespoke courses free of charge to TCC members, which can be designed to suit the needs of the group.

20

.

Personnel

In July 2020, Chloe Gallagher went on maternity leave, with Lucy Allin increasing her hours for a time to cover the youth and community organiser role. However, as it became clear that we would not be able to work with schools for some time, these hours were reduced, and we are grateful to Act for Change Fund for enabling us to extend the funding period.

We were delighted to welcome Lucy Kebell to the team in July as our first communications officer.

Activities and Achievements of the Last Year

TCC has been very successful over the last year, but we have not acted alone. All of these successes have been achieved by working with other organisations, groups, and individuals in the area. This includes:

Financial Review

Principal Funding Sources

Grants were the main funding source of TCC in 2020-21. We received funding from:

The grants are additional to the annual dues paid by member groups, the supporter programme and fundraising events.

Reserves Policy

The trustees have a policy of holding in free reserves an amount equivalent to between six and twelve months of unrestricted spending, to protect the continuity of TCC’s core work. At the end of this financial year, the charity held the equivalent of approximately 11 months of unrestricted spending in free reserves.

Investment Policy

TCC’s Articles of Memorandum authorises the deposit or investment of monies not immediately required for its purpose. Therefore a Charities Official Investment Fund (COIF) deposit account was opened in May 2008.

Plans for Future Periods

Community organising is about building positive public relationships with those in power. It fosters long term community relationships and provides a model for people from all walks of life to engage democratically in decision making. We strongly believe that in polarised political, social, economic and environmental times, community organising has much to offer. We know that the impact of Covid-19 and multiple lockdowns have deepened and exacerbated social inequalities, and we will continue to seek out the stories as to how this plays out in communities and to cut issues on which we can work for practical change.

With eleven new member groups, and new leaders becoming engaged from long standing groups, we are really keen to run our residential training in autumn 2021. We also know we need to effectively meet the needs and expectations of a substantial increase in membership, and to bring new and more experienced leaders together around common interests and shared values. On a practical note, we will work with our member groups and leaders to agree the best way to being working in person again, potentially by investing in equipment which would allow meetings both in-person and online participation.

With a relatively newly expanded staff team, changes in the trustee board and the change to working online now being embedded, now is also the opportunity to review, strengthen and improve our governance processes.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021

TCC (TREFNU CYMUNEDOL CYMRU/TOGETHER CREATING COMMUNITIES)

1. Accounting policies

Basis of preparing the financial statements

The financial statements of the charitable company, which is a public benefit entity under FRS 102, have been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102) 'Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019)', Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland' and the Companies Act 2006. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention.

Incoming resources

All incoming resources are included on the Statement of Financial Activities when the charity is legally entitled to the income and the amount can be quantified with reasonable accuracy.

Resources expended

Liabilities are recognised as expenditure as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to that expenditure, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all cost related to the category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources.

Tangible fixed assets

Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off each asset over its estimated useful life.

Furniture and Equipment - 20% on cost

All assets costing more than £100 are capitalised.

Stocks

Stocks are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value, after making due allowance for obsolete and slow moving items.

Taxation

The charity is exempt from corporation tax on its charitable activities.

Fund accounting

Unrestricted funds can be used in accordance with the charitable objectives at the discretion of the trustees.

Restricted funds can only be used for particular restricted purposes within the objects of the charity. Restrictions arise when specified by the donor or when funds are raised for particular restricted purposes.

Further explanation of the nature and purpose of each fund is included in the notes to the financial statements.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - CONTINUED FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021

1. Accounting policies - continued

Pension costs and other post-retirement benefits

The charitable company operates a defined benefit pension scheme. Contributions payable to the charitable company's pension scheme are charged to the Statement of Financial Activities in the period to which they related.

The scheme is now in deficit and the debt will have to be paid by the charitable company once there are no employees remaining in the Growth Plan. The estimated debt figure as at 30 September 2019 is £11,257.65. The debt will be owed after a 12 month grace period. The charitable company has therefore realised this deficit in the current year and it is included in other creditors in note 12. .

The debt is calculated on the solvency, or 'buy-out', basis and is based on the Scheme Actuary's estimate of the pricing basis used to secure pension liabilities in full, in one transaction, with an insurance company, including any orphan liabilities, as at 30 September 2019 for all current and former charitable company pension scheme members.

Cost of managing and administering the charity

These represent general overheads. 80% of the telephone costs have been charged to charitable activities leaving the remaining 20% of costs in management and administration.
