RAY Ceredigion Report, Annual General Meeting

Executive Officer Report

The past 12 months have been a very positive period for RAY Ceredigion, with the excellent news in the autumn that we have been successful with a further 3 years of People and Places lottery Community Fund grant income, securing many jobs and many of our core activities.

With the reduction in Covid restrictions 2022 was the first year for a while where we were able to reinstate some of our usual activities including outreach outdoor play sessions and our annual RAY Play Day which marks the UK National Play Day – these were welcomed by our staff team as well as many in the county and all were well attended.

We have been able to support a number of new activities including moving the Repair Café we host to Saturdays thereby increasing attendance and making it a busy event attracting new volunteers on a regular basis and helping to reduce items going to landfill.

Out of the Repair Café we now have a RAY Men’s shed just starting up run by a number of our Repair Café volunteers and plans to take on an allotment.

And in 2022 we finally got ourselves a new website which links to three of our Facebook pages and so has up to date news visible on the Home page.

We have also worked with Alain Thomas and Rory Chapman on an external evaluation of our work, Alain will produce a narrative report and Rory is working on a film.

Our committee gained two new valuable volunteers in the past 12+ months who have been a real asset to the charity and who have formed an HR subgroup with the Executive Officer, resulting in a new RAY Staff Handbook and increased support for staff.

All in all a very good past 12 months putting us in a strong position to start the new 3 year lottery programme in April 2023 which will help with our sustainability through to end of March 2026.

As ever a big thank you to all the people who attend our sessions, our volunteers, staff team and trustees and the wider community in Ceredigion.

Thanks everyone

Gill Byrne Executive Officer

RAY‘s role in the community

Over the past 22 years RAY’s objectives have expanded as we worked within communities across the county, and listened to the needs expressed by residents, particularly those who are the most vulnerable and disadvantaged. We have been careful to work with other organisations, statutory, voluntary and private, to ensure that any projects and activities we have delivered have not duplicated the work of others, and where possible filled a gap in existing provision. We have recognised a productive cycle of community consultation identifying need, RAY checking if we are the right organisation to respond to that need, developing projects to meet the need, and through that creating increased capacity within the county, for example through peer support networks that emerge through our group activities, through linking supportive organisations with groups and individuals who need that support. This can be summed up in the diagram below:

Examples in the past 1 – 2 years are RAY responding to the need for a breastfeeding support group brought to us by a parent, we are now funding a third parent peer supported to attend training and the weekly group is very successful. Also a group of our repairers from the Aberaeron Repair Café expressed an interest in starting a Men’s Shed and taking on an allotment and this now at the early stages of development. Most if not all of the individuals involved me through engaging with RAY activities and through that have developed new systems of support and development within the county.

RAY’s Charitable Objectives and Mission Statement

As a charity registered with the Charity Commission we have a set of charitable objectives which have grown and expanded over the years to match our aims and objectives.

RAY’s Charitable Objectives

A. support, develop and enhance the provision of facilities for recreation, open access play and education for children & young people in Ceredigion
B. to support, develop and enhance provision of facilities for adults including disabled, retired and older residents, building community capacity through the provision of social and recreational activities
C. to advance the education and training of vulnerable and disadvantaged members of the community in Ceredigion and those that work or volunteer to support them
D. to develop community activities and facilities that enhance health and wellbeing for vulnerable and disadvantaged members of the community in Ceredigion

These Objects reflect our Mission Statement which is to:

Improve the health and wellbeing of residents of Ceredigion particularly those that are vulnerable and disadvantaged.

We achieve this by developing activities that meet identified needs and through continuous consultation and listening we aim to keep the activities useful and relevant to the people who attend. We can only do this with the following:

Grant funders - We need to thank the funders listed later in the report for their support, we could not achieve what we do without their recognition of the value of our activities

Donations and bequests - We have been fortunate to receive larger and small donations from local business and individual families and we thank them for thinking of RAY often at sad time.

The RAY Trustees - As a registered charity we have a board of committee members who offer their time, experience and wisdom to oversee all aspects of RAY’s activities.

The RAY Staff team - As many of you will know we have a really good team of staff delivering a wide variety of activities for all ages and abilities.

Volunteers = Last but not least we have a fantastic and dependable group of volunteers of all ages who add value to everything we do.

RAY Activities in past 12 months

We have been fortunate to secure a further 3 years of lottery funding to enable us to sustain 4 key elements of what we deliver namely:

RAY Family Centre which meets Mondays, Tuesdays and Wednesdays
RAY Actif for 6 – 11 year olds which meets Wednesdays after school and school hols
DYMA NI for young adults with disabilities aged 17-35+
Volunteering funding our Volunteer Coordinator post

We have new targets and outcomes under all of these headings, and the lottery also funds a proportion of our overall running and management costs, which then enables us to deliver all the other activities we provide including:

Outreach community play sessions
School based community play sessions
Nyth y Fron volunteer led breastfeeding group
RAY Actif sessions for 11 – 19 year olds
Courses and qualifications accredited by Agored Cymru
RAY Craft and Chat group
Hosting of Aberaeron Repair Café
RAY’s Men’s Shed
Hosting of RAY Social Club for young adults with disabilities
The Forget Me Knot dementia support group
A Heritage Lottery funded Wildlife Garden

What follows is how each of these activities benefits the community of Ceredigion.

RAY Ceredigion Activities Canolfan Deulol RAY Family Centre

In the past 12 months we have had Little Stars speech and language sessions, Move and Groove, baby weaning, Baby massage, Baby sensory, cooking with Peggy, days out in the park, a Family Links parenting course delivered with Pathfinder, and lots and lots of RAY Stay and Play. Led by our Family Centre Coordinator.

Sessions are attended by mums, dads, grandparents and carers, and the feedback is that the activities we provide help with getting out of the house, seeing other people for both the adult and the child, build confidence and social skills, help with speech and language, introduce new toys and textures. We work with a number of partners including the Family Centre Network, Pathfinder, Flying Start, Health Visitors, Speech Therapists and more.

Megan oversees a Facebook page and Facebook chat group where she shares information on all our activities:

RAY Actif FOR 6 – 11’s

This is an after school and school holiday group for 6 – 11’s and aims to build confidence, friendships and new skills and interests.

RAY Actif staff aim to support children to relax and have fun – photos show raft building and sailing on the river after school and baking pastries and cakes with Peggy. Through these sorts of activities and trips out on our minibus we provide new and exciting opportunities.

Funded by

The DYMA NI group runs 2 days a week for young adults with disabilities and aims to first of all enable opportunities for meeting up, building friendships and social networks and secondly to work with the members of the group to deliver activities that interest them and help to develop new skills and build in existing skills and interests. In the past year the group has added wildlife gardening and food growing to the long list of activities, and made enough money from selling art work and food grown in the RAY greenhouse and garden to fund a trip the pantomime.

Volunteering with RAY

In 2022 RAY gained the Investors in Volunteers Award with some very positive feedback from out volunteers and the external evaluation including this section on our Strengths

A number of strengths were identified during the assessment which are detailed below. The numbers in brackets refer to the quality area and specific practice of the Investing in Volunteers standard.

Volunteers are proactively encouraged to develop their skills, and given opportunities to attend a variety of training opportunities. In some cases funding has been made available for volunteers to attend paid training courses to enhance their volunteering role, such as the ‘Breastfeeding Support Training Foundation Module’ run by the Association of Breastfeeding Mothers. The approach to training for volunteers was summed up by the Executive Officer who emphasised the importance of volunteer development. Subject to resources being available she said ‘as much as possible, if people want to go on training courses they can’.

Volunteers expressed their feelings of being well supported by RAY Ceredigion through regular communication from the Volunteer Co-ordinator, Project Leads and the Executive Officer. The volunteers who were part of WhatsApp groups found this useful and they also appreciated the opportunities for debriefing conversations after each volunteering session. One volunteer summarised her opinion of staff support as ‘they are very supportive’

Volunteers also said that they expressed their appreciation of feeling valued and very much part of the organisational team. This view came across strongly from volunteers and staff. One volunteer said ‘I feel valued’ and another said ‘I feel very much part of an organisation.’ Other volunteers reiterated these views

Two of our current volunteers Sue who helps with the RAY Actif 6-11’s and Elin who has just started supporting all our activities.

RAY Forget Me Knot dementia support group

This group goes from strength to strength and is busier now than it has ever been with sometimes 30+ people attending the weekly session. The group provides respite and support for people with dementia and their carers and is run by RAY staff supported by a wonderful team of volunteers and funded by the local Potter Trust. In 2022 we received funding via HAUL to run some community choir sessions and some mosaic art as the programme below shows

Play sessions in community and schools

In 2022 RAY delivered play sessions in communities including throughout the summer holidays for Wales and West Housing Association and sessions in schools and Pentop in Cardigan using funds provided by Cardigan playscheme. We benefited from Ceredigion local authority funding to provide sessions in Ysgol y Dderi and then in the autumn term to be able to start a programme of activities across a large number of primary schools which is ongoing. Llanon and Llanrhystud community councils kindly provided donations to help us with eh costs of delivering outdoor play sessions on their community play areas.

Courses and training

We delivered two Level One playwork courses and Forest School Level 3 leader qualification.

Page 16 of 20

Heritage Lottery Wildlife Garden

Our garden was completed and planted and a fantastic Open Day was held at the end of May attended by over 100 people.

Men’s Sheds

RAY hosts and supports the Aberaeron Repair Café and in the past year a number of the repairers have started a Men’s Shed, we received funding from the Oakdale Trust to allow for a visit to North Wales to visit 3 Men’s Sheds for ideas.

Closing statement from the Chair

This will be my last closing statement as Chair of RAY Ceredigion as I regret to say I will be resigning at the forthcoming AGM. It has been a real honour to serve as Chair of RAY Ceredigion. I have always been immensely proud of the hard work and determination of RAY Ceredigion in providing such excellent and innovative services to people of all ages in Ceredigion. Over the years I have watched RAY continue to develop and adapt in the face of what at times have been challenging circumstances. In the time I have served as Chair they have supported and helped thousands of people and helped to support the development of new and innovative services. In recent years this has, amongst many others, included the DYMA NI group and Forget me Knot Club and more recently help to set up the Repair Café and now a men’s shed group.

The dynamic and innovative approach to serving the community that RAY has, means they can offer services to all members of the community from the youngest through to the more mature in years, at the very time the Local Authority has adopting a Through Age model to service delivery. It is this unique and flexible approach that has meant that RAY has been able to secure further funding from the National Lottery through their People and Places programme and to be able to provide a firm foundation for further growth.

All the above would not be possible without the continuous support of our funders and partners. Nor without the support of my fellow committee members who have provided such essential support in guiding RAY over the years I have been Chair. Finally, RAY would not be the success it is without the tireless work of its’ staff team, especially that of its Executive Officer Gill. Gill it has been a real privilege working with you over the years. I understand that RAY is very much your baby, and I am grateful for the opportunity to help ‘parent’ over the years. A time that I will always look back on with the fondest memories.

I wish you all the very best for the future.
