LLANYBYDDER

FAMILY CENTRE

Registered Charity Number: 1087515

ANNUAL REPORT 2021 – 2022

1

BACKGROUND

Llanybydder Family Centre was established as an independent charity in 2001 to help the families of Llanybydder and its surrounding rural areas overcome the effects of low income, poor health, poor housing, social exclusion, rural isolation and a lack of services. The Management Committee was formed by local people with a range of skills and knowledge and a shared interest in the welfare of their community.

Llanybydder is a small rurally isolated town, with a

population of 1683 (Census, 2011), which has lost several businesses and local banks to the larger neighbouring towns of Carmarthen and Lampeter. Low paid irregular shift work is provided by its two main industries, an abattoir and horse mart, both hit hard by, and never fully recovered from, the footand-mouth epidemic in 2001.

Llanybydder is ranked 854 in the Welsh Index for Multiple Deprivation (WIMD), with an overall ranking of 30-50% most deprived area in Wales. Figures from the WIMD show that 27% of children come from low-income families. Llanybydder is placed in the 10-20% most deprived areas for housing and education.

30.6% of residents have no qualifications, which is 3.8% higher than the Carmarthenshire average.

The Family Centre firstly opened in a portacabin, and this served as the centre from 2001 to 2017. At the beginning of 2017, during the harsh winter weather the cabins started to become unsuitable due to leaks, poor heating system and becoming too small. The Management Committee and Co-ordinator discussed with Gwalia management to use a decommissioned room in their Cwm Aur Independent Living Facility. The idea was embraced by both parties and the Family Centre moved into their new home in July 2017.

2

The centre was ready in its new home for the 2017 school summer holidays. The staff introduced the centre to the residents and staff of Cwm Aur and residents could not have been happier that the room was being used for such an amazing facility. Many of the residents came daily to see the families bring with them pop, biscuits and cakes for all. Because of this it was decided to consider developing a project, working with the families and the residents, and our Intergenerational Project was born.

The staff consist of a Manager and a Play Worker. All staff receive ongoing training to keep them up to date with the latest information, guidance and legislation. All members of staff are regularly trained in Child Protection and Safeguarding, Food Hygiene, First Aid and are subject to DBS checks every three years. The Family Centre is managed by local people who sit on the Management Committee. They bring a wealth of experience, knowledge and qualifications.

– What we have done 2021 202

Our over-arching aim is to support families through the many difficulties they may face, to promote and enhance the relationship between the adult and child through working together in different sessions, and to ensure children have as many new experiences as possible during their early years.

Our service has been more important than ever, as we emerge from the Covid-19 restrictions. Families were reporting feeling isolated, and in response to this a lot of our work this year focused on wellbeing. We organised Coffee, Cake & Catch-up sessions, where there was no pressure, just a chance for families to enjoy a warm drink, have a chat and let the children burn off some energy together.

There were also some concerns given surrounding the speech & language, and social skills of children, particularly those born during lock-down periods. Many children had spent a lot of their very early years without the interaction with other adults and peers that previous generations of children had enjoyed. We made it our aim to facilitate more Language & Play sessions than we had done before, and developed a School Readiness course, ready for those starting Cylch Meithrin or school.

The whole year was governed by Covid-19 safety guidelines, directed by the Welsh Government. Under the restrictions, we had to run a booking system, to control numbers, and had to limit the time of sessions to an hour each, in order to prevent people being in the same room for too long, and to accommodate the extra cleaning requirements that were in place. It was still a far cry from the drop-in service that we have provided for many years, but our families safety was always out top priority.

Pre-loved Clothes Scheme

During the initial period of lockdown, staff set-up a pre-loved clothes scheme. This was in response to families needing clothes for their children, but not being able to access clothes shops due to lockdowns and travel limitations. The Family Centre also recognised that there

3

were families in need due to financial losses, be that redundancy, reduced working hours or being furloughed.

During 2021-2022 we continued the scheme, distributing clothes from the Centre, and were able to support approximately 50 families from the local community.

Families are extremely grateful for the scheme, and we regularly hear comments about how expensive children’s clothes can be. Families are also glad of the environmental sustainability of the scheme, knowing that the clothes they donate are not only being recycled, but helping other families in need.

Baby Group – 41 sessions

Baby Group has been extremely popular this year again. We organised a mixture of messy and sensory play, designed to provide new and stimulating experiences for children aged 0- 18 months. We also went on walks, exploring the local area. Staff offer advice on breastfeeding, weaning, sleeping problems, teething and a whole host of other problems that can arise for new families. If staff do not immediately know the answer, or are unable to offer advice, they know where to signpost and refer to those who can help.

Two 6-week courses of Peter Walker Developmental Baby Massage were delivered and were a great success. We had extremely positive feedback which indicated that 100% of participants felt that the course had given them increased confidence and tools to support their child’s developmental needs.

Active Baby & You was a 4-week course, designed to give families the tools to meet the physical needs of their children, focusing on physical literacy in the first 1000 days of life. The course helped families to support the development of movement through play and physical activity.

Toddler Groups

To support older children, we facilitate a range of different activities for toddlers. During this year we have organised:

Washing the cars at the Car Wash Planting flowers

Outdoor Chalks Bonfire Night Crafts

Remembrance Day Crafts Developing fine-motor skills in the ‘snow’!

Santes Dwynwen crafts Authentic Chinese clothes and fabrics for

Chinese New Year

From evaluation surveys (18 responses) we know that:

94.4% of families believe that The Family Centre has helped their child's behaviour in a group setting, and improved their social skills through interaction with others (5.6% neutral)

88.9% of families believe that the Family Centre has helped to improve their child’s speech & language skills (11.1% neutral)

Llanybydder Park

We attended Llanybydder Park fifteen times throughout the year – using the equipment, having picnics, and making the most of the lovely green space provided for us. We had our Sports Day at the park during the summer and had a lovely Story and Song session there too. Thank you to Llanybydder & Rhydcymerau Community Council for maintaining such a lovely space for the families of the local area.

Grants and additional funding

Thanks to additional funding from the Welsh Government, we were given these tremendous bikes, which we have had fun with around the garden! We also received a grant from the Mudiad Meithrin which allowed us to purchase a fantastic stock of Welsh language resources and books.

We were also able to develop our role-play area in to a much more inviting area. We purchased many items, in order to be able to rotate the area termly, from a ‘Home’ to a ‘Café’, and in the coming terms you will be able to see a ‘Garden Centre’, and take a trip to the ‘Dentist’! Feedback from our families has been great, and it has been wonderful to see the children immersed in imaginative play, and developing their social skills.

Thanks to the Welsh Government’s ‘Love Reading’ project, we received a large number of books, which we were able to give to our families, free of charge. This was gratefully appreciated by our families, as they all commented on the price of books, and the tremendous financial pressures they were facing, in the current climate. It gave families a real opportunity to read together, increasing bonds and literacy in our children.

Trips and days out

Taking families on days out and trips allows them to explore local areas, that they may not otherwise experience. It gives them the confidence to attend, as they know they will not be alone, and also gives the children new experiences.

School Readiness

The School Readiness course is a four-week course, focusing on the main priorities to consider before a child starts school. The course was developed with both children AND parents in mind, as it is a big transition for both. Staff spoke with local schools and Cylch Meithrins, to see if there were any particular issues they were noticing, with incoming pupils, that could be targetted through these sessions.

Week one focuses on the importance of ‘Mark-Making’ in the early years, as a precursor to writing. Children’s hand muscles need strengthening with a wide range of resources and experiences before they are capable of holding a pencil to write.

Week two focuses on social skills and independence. Children are encouraged to practice their fine-motor skills, in order to gain independence (doing zips and buttons up on a coat, being able to use the bathroom by themselves and so on). Children also play together in the role play area, to develop their social skills alongside their peers.

Week three focuses on speech and language. Parents are encouraged to model the art of conversation, and use open-ended questions, with their children, using a wide range of resources – toys, jigsaws, flash cards. This also develops vocabulary.

In week four, we discuss emotional preparation, and give advice and tips on how to manage strong feelings. Participants always receive a certificate for completing the course too!

Healthy Eating on a Budget

After staff had completed their Level 2 Community Nutrition and Food Skills in the Early Years training, we delivered a five-week Healthy Eating on a Budget course, using recipes from the Love Food, Hate Waste website.

Families attended the session, and were shown how to make the recipe. They were then able to take packs of ingredients home, with a recipe card, and make the meals for themselves and their families. We had excellent feedback from the sessions – parents were glad of the new ideas, and the use of ingredients that may not otherwise have bought themselves.

Children were keen to try the new recipes at the Centre, and parents were surprised that their child was eating certain things that, again, they may not necessarily have otherwise!

Community & Partnership Working

We have used our Social Media platforms to promote and share notices and information from local organisations, such as Bro Pedr Medical Group, Llanybydder Primary School and Cylch Meithrin Llanybydder.

Physical engagement proved difficult, due to the different restrictions that were in place, however we maintained contact with the local schools, Cylch Meithrin and Llanybydder Village Committee and hope to be in a better position to engage in the coming year.

We were lucky enough to receive additional funding from the Welsh Government’s Child Development Fund, which allowed us to facilitate fun, sensory sessions with Arts 4 Wellbeing and also Rubba Bubba Baby Yoga with Rach.

Families

We continue to welcome new families to the centre and they hear about us through other parents, as sometimes they are families who are new to the area or are new parents living in the village. We advertise the centre through the use of Facebook and posters in the community. The Health Visitor promotes the centre during her surgeries and visits to families and we rely on word of mouth. Many of the parents feel isolated and come to the Family Centre for company for themselves and their children. Many families have had us recommended to them by other families, and some come of their own accord. New friendship develops amongst these families that gradually extend outside the Family Centre environment. We regularly ask for ideas and suggestions from parents and older children to ensure that we are delivering different activities suitable for all. We ensure we receive feedback from users in order that we deliver the best quality work, workshops, activities and information. We ensure that the centre is user-lead and all feedback is taken back to committee meetings and reported on.

Timetables

Llanybydder Family Centre is open 4 days a week.

Monday Closed Tuesday 9 am – 3pm Wednesday 9 am – 3 pm Thursday 9 am – 3 pm Friday 9 am – 3 pm

Monthly timetables are placed on Facebook, and physical copies are placed in the Centre, and are available to take home, or via e-mail for those who do not use social media.

– Project Partners Partnership Working

Clients’ specific needs have been identified and referrals have been made when more specialised help has been needed, ensuring the support we provide is appropriate. We hope that during the next year, there will be increased engagement with Health Professionals, such as the Health Visitor. This has been problematic this year due only having one Health Visitor covering an extremely large area.

To provide a comprehensive holistic service, it is essential that the Family Centre develops and maintains productive links with other statutory and voluntary organisations in the community and further afield. In addition to independent trainers who run courses from time to time the organisations that the Family Centre works with are as follows:

17

Plant Dewi – The Strategic Manager from Plant Dewi visits the centre on a regular basis, attends Committee Meetings and supports the Manager and Management Committee in the running of the centre.

Cwm Aur and Cwm Aur Friendship Group – We have a strong relationship with Cwm Aur, who help us facilitate our Intergenerational Project. We advertise their Community Café, and have held a Bingo Evening, a Community Fun BBQ, and a Christmas Fair in conjunction with them.

Cymraeg i Blant – We have regular visits from Cymraeg i Blant who have held successful Baby and Yoga Massage and Story & Song sessions through the medium of Welsh.

Llanybydder Village Committee– the Family Centre takes part in their community organised events when possible.

Early Years Wales – Ongoing provision of information, training, and resources.

Mudiad Meithrin – Ongoing provision of information, training and resources.

Family Centre Network – the Manager attends monthly meetings that ensure that all the Carmarthenshire Family Centres are updated on training and funding opportunities, policies and research, and events in which they can take part.

Llanybydder Primary School & Cylch Meithrin Llanybydder – We have regular contact with the local school and Cylch Meithrin and use their valuable input when developing sessions and courses.

WCVA and CAVS – Keep us updated on training and funding information as well as other information that may be relevant to our service

COMMENTS FROM SERVICE USERS

‘My daughter was born during the Pandemic. As a result of this for over a year of her life she never seen any children her age. We were very isolated. Coming to the family centre has helped me and her greatly. She has made friends and has learned how to share and play nicely.They have a fantastic assortment of resources that change often. They encourage the children to join in. For me also it has done wonders for my mental health. Getting me out the house and talking to other parents has been hugely beneficial. Hopefully moving forward with the restrictions loosening, we will be able to do more. Small things like having lunch at the centre, a cup of tea etc’

‘Llanybydder is more than just a centre for families to go to for play sessions. It’s like coming to see close friends who welcome you with open arms and make you feel like you’re home. Since having my son the centre has been our sanctuary where he can learn and develop and I have the support that actually I’m doing alot better than I think I am! It’s been particularly difficult becoming a new mum in the pandemic as I’ve had very little support from health visitors and family but I’ve been able to get that from the centre and without it I would have struggled more than I did. I am so lucky to have such a wonderful place in my area!’

‘Llanybydder Family centre is like a family you choose’

Comment from Debbie Vince, Strategic Manager for Carmarthenshire Family Centres of the Plant Dewi Network

“Llanybydder Family Centre is a large, warm welcoming space for parents and children alike. It has grown to become an essential part of the community, helping, nurturing, and supporting families. It allows a safe space for parents and children to get together, socialise and learn new skills. The staff are friendly, well- informed, and organised. Feedback from parents has been extremely positive with

100% of parents agreeing that it has helped to improve their ability to support their children’s learning and developmental needs.

The centre staff are also very knowledgeable about their community and work well with other projects in the area, always seeking out partnerships in how best to serve the local community as well as avoiding duplication of services.

The family centre staff deserve a huge pat on the back for thinking outside the box in engaging parents and children alike during the pandemic. They have delivered sessions that have worked within Government guidelines, and just by being an ear at the end of a phone, when needed, they have been a lifeline for many families feeling isolated and alone”

Lessons learned

The problems that families face can be multiple, ranging from child-related problems - such as behaviour, language, potty training and sleep issues - to debt and relationship breakdowns. We have learned that it is essential to have an accessible range of contacts (outside professionals and organisations, both statutory and voluntary) with whom we can liaise so that our support is effective in helping a family overcome their problems.

19

Challenges for the Future

Many health workers were redeployed to other areas within the Health Board during the height of the pandemic, and most educational settings were closed for an extended period of time. Staff were aware that there may be an increase in children with additional learning needs or developmental delays not being identified at key times, and this has come to fruition during this year. Staff have identified some children with immature social skills, from where they should typically be for their stage. As early identification is paramount to better outcomes, we will work closely with external agencies to overcome this increase.

Furthermore, due to the impact of the virus on all areas of life, funding is still being redirected, quite rightly, towards Covid-19 support. While we have been extremely lucky in our funding this year, and are secure for the time being, there is no telling how long the impacts of the crisis are going to be felt. Despite this, we are a strong organisation, and we can prove the need for our services in the local community.

20

Funding Partners

We would like to thank everyone who has funded the Family Centre over the last year. Without the funding, the Family Centre would not exist as it is a free-of-charge, non-profitmaking organisation. It has been essential to maintain a constant flow of income in order to provide a consistency of service for the families of Llanybydder. The funding we have received has enabled us to offer these families high quality support and help in dealing with the complexities of family life.

We would like to thank:

Llanybydder Family Centre

I report on the accounts of the Trust for the year ended 31 March 2022, which are set out on pages 3 to 9.

Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner

The trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144(2) of the Charities Act 2011(the 2011 Act) and that an independent examination is needed.

It is my responsibility to:

Basis of independent examiner's report

My examination was carried out in accordance with the General Directions given by the Charity Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from you as trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a 'true and fair view' and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below.

Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees[of]

Llanybydder Family Centre

I report on the accounts of the Trust for the year ended 31 March 2022, which are set out on pages 3 to 9.

Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner

The trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144(2) of the Charities Act 2011(the 2011 Act) and that an independent examination is needed.

It is my responsibility to:

Basis of independent examiner's report

My examination was carried out in accordance with the General Directions given by the Charity Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from you as trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a 'true and fair view' and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below.

Independent examiner's statement

In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention:

1 Accounting policies

Basis of preparation

The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention[, as modified by the revaluation of] certain fixed assets, and in accordance with the Statement of Recommended Practice 'Accounting and Reporting by Charities (SORP 2005)', issued in March 2005, applicable accounting standards and the Charities Act 2011.

Fund accounting policy

Unrestricted income funds are general funds that are available for use at the trustees' discretion in furtherance of the objectives of the charity.

Restricted funds are those donated for use in a particular area or for specific purposes, the use of which is restricted to that area or purpose.

Further details of each fund are disclosed in note 10.

Incoming resources

Voluntary income including donations and grants that provide core funding or are of a general nature is recognised where there is entitlement, certainty of receipt and the amount can be measured with sufficient reliability.

Resources expended

Liabilities are recognised as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to the expenditure. All expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all costs related to the category.

Costs of generating funds are the costs associated with attracting voluntary income.

Governance costs

Governance costs include costs of the preparation and examination of the statutory accounts, the costs of trustee meetings and the cost of any legal advice to trustees on governance or constitutional matters.

Support costs

Support costs include central functions and have been allocated to activity cost categories on a basis consistent with the use of resources, for example, allocating property costs by floor areas, or per capita, staff costs by the time spent and other costs by their usage.

Depreciation

Depreciation is provided on tangible fixed assets so as to write off the cost or valuation, less any estimated residual value, over their expected useful economic life as follows:
