CWVYS – Chair’s Report 2023

2022 marked the 75[th] anniversary of CWVYS, having been born in the aftermath of the Second World War to represent, support and give a collective voice to local and national organisations working with young people in Wales. Much may have changed over the past 75 years, but our aims and collaborative outlook remain very much as they have always been. I would like to thank all of the staff, volunteers, members and supporters who, over the past 75 years, have fought for the voice of voluntary youth services to be heard and have tirelessly promoted the wellbeing of the young people of Wales.

As we tentatively move forward into a “new normal” beyond the pandemic, it becomes increasingly clear that stability is a luxury that we don’t always appreciate until we no longer enjoy it. The cost of living crisis is hitting families across Wales, and the impact is felt fully by those in the voluntary sector. Increasing costs for energy, food and transport are stretching budgets beyond breaking point for many of our member organisations as they fight to provide services. We are grateful to those, such as the Welsh Government and Community Foundation Wales, who have provided additional funding in these difficult times. I’m also grateful to the CWVYS team for managing the Welsh Government’s Voluntary Youth Work Organisations Support Scheme (round 2 of which will open for applications in September).

This year I was delighted to attend the Youth Work Excellence Awards in Swansea, the first time the event has taken place in person since the pandemic. Guests were treated to musical performances and an exhibition of art by young people from across the length and breadth of Wales. It was also a truly humbling experience listening to the life stories of exceptional nominees, and joining with members of the sector and some of the young people they support to celebrate successes achieved in the face of many challenges.

The CWVYS staff team, who organized that event, continue to achieve influence far and away beyond any reasonable expectations. I’d like to thank each of them for their hard work; Paul Glaze for his energetic leadership, Amanda Everson, for growing and supporting our membership, Catrin James for her active outreach and engagement with the sector, Helen Jones for producing our 75[th] anniversary book on top of all of our other communications (along with our new recruit Manon Williams), Ellie Parker and Branwen Niclas for making sure the sector’s voice is heard, and Sarah Fox for keeping a sharp eye over our accounts and procedures.

In this volatile environment, CWVYS has a vital role to play in supporting the sector and representing our needs to those in power. This year has been a challenging one, but the team has risen to the challenges with aplomb. I therefore am pleased to present this year’s annual report to members, supporters, volunteers, and stakeholders.

CWVYS - Adroddiad y Cadeirydd 2023

Roedd 2022 yn nodi 75 mlynedd ers sefydlu CWVYS, ar ôl cael ei eni yn dilyn yr Ail Ryfel Byd i gynrychioli, cefnogi a rhoi llais cyfunol i fudiadau lleol a chenedlaethol sy’n gweithio gyda phobl ifanc yng Nghymru. Mae’n bosibl bod llawer wedi newid dros y 75 mlynedd diwethaf, ond mae ein nodau a’n rhagolygon cydweithredol yn parhau i fod fel y buont erioed. Hoffwn ddiolch i’r holl staff, gwirfoddolwyr, aelodau a chefnogwyr sydd, dros y 75 mlynedd diwethaf, wedi brwydro i sicrhau bod llais gwasanaethau ieuenctid gwirfoddol yn cael ei glywed ac sydd wedi hyrwyddo lles pobl ifanc Cymru yn ddiflino.

Wrth i ni symud ymlaen yn betrus i “normal newydd” wedi'r pandemig, daw'n fwyfwy amlwg bod sefydlogrwydd yn foethusrwydd nad ydym bob amser yn ei werthfawrogi nes na fyddwn yn ei fwynhau mwyach. Mae’r argyfwng costau byw yn taro teuluoedd ledled Cymru, a theimlir yr effaith yn llawn gan y rheini yn y sector gwirfoddol. Mae costau cynyddol ynni, bwyd a thrafnidiaeth yn ymestyn cyllidebau y tu hwnt i’r penllanw i lawer o’n haelod-sefydliadau wrth iddynt frwydro i ddarparu gwasanaethau. Rydym yn ddiolchgar i’r rheini, megis Sefydliad Cymunedol Cymru a Llywodraeth Cymru, sydd wedi darparu ariannu ychwanegol yn y cyfnod anodd hwn. Rwyf hefyd yn ddiolchgar i dîm CWVYS am reoli'r Grant Mudiadau Gwaith Ieuenctid Gwirfoddol Strategol (sydd ar agor nawr) a Chynllun Cefnogi Mudiadau Gwaith Ieuenctid Gwirfoddol (gyda'r ail rownd o'r cynllun hwn yn agor ar gyfer ceisiadau ym mis Medi).

Eleni roeddwn yn falch iawn o fynychu Gwobrau Rhagoriaeth Gwaith Ieuenctid yn Abertawe, y tro cyntaf i'r digwyddiad gael ei gynnal wyneb yn wyneb ers y pandemig. Cafodd gwesteion fwynhau perfformiadau cerddorol ac arddangosfa o gelf gan bobl ifanc ar hyd a lled Cymru. Roedd hefyd yn brofiad gwirioneddol ostyngedig gwrando ar hanesion bywyd ein henwebeion eithriadol, ac ymuno ag aelodau o’r sector a rhai o’r bobl ifanc y maent yn eu cefnogi i ddathlu llwyddiannau a gyflawnwyd yn wyneb llawer o heriau.

Mae tîm staff CWVYS, a drefnodd y digwyddiad hwnnw, yn parhau i gael dylanwad ymhell y tu hwnt i unrhyw ddisgwyliadau rhesymol. Hoffwn ddiolch i bob un ohonynt am eu gwaith caled; Paul Glaze am ei arweinyddiaeth egnïol, Amanda Everson, am dyfu a chefnogi ein haelodaeth, Catrin James am ei gwaith allgymorth ac ymgysylltiad gweithgar â’r sector, Helen Jones am gynhyrchu ein llyfr pen-blwydd yn 75 ar ben ein holl gyfathrebiadau eraill (ynghyd â’n haelod newydd o staff, Manon Williams), Ellie Parker a Branwen Niclas am sicrhau bod llais y sector yn cael ei glywed, a Sarah Fox am gadw llygad craff dros ein cyfrifon a’n gweithdrefnau.

Yn yr amgylchedd cyfnewidiol hwn, mae gan CWVYS ran hanfodol i’w chwarae wrth gefnogi’r sector a chynrychioli ein hanghenion i’r rhai sydd mewn grym. Mae eleni wedi bod yn un heriol, ond mae'r tîm wedi ymateb i'r heriau yn ddigyffro. Mae’n bleser gennyf felly gyflwyno adroddiad blynyddol eleni i aelodau, cefnogwyr, gwirfoddolwyr a rhanddeiliaid.

Treasurer’s Re ort 2022-2023 p

CWVYS TREASURER’S REPORT 2022/2023

It is my pleasure to present the CWVYS accounts to you.

The value of youth work in the voluntary sector and CWVYS is rightly being recognised. This, in parallel, is developing the influence and work of CWVYS.

I am delighted to be able to put forward another positive report which places CWVYS on good financial footing as we continue to influence policy and support the voluntary sector.

In accordance with the relevant Company Law, we have taken advantage of the opportunity that allows for exemption from an audit with the attendant saving in costs. The accounts have been examined in accordance with the accounting requirements specified in the Companies Act 2006 and your Executive Committee approved them at its meeting held earlier today.

The Trustees continue to carefully monitor income and expenditure and this has enabled us once again to trade within our means and we posted a surplus of £27,767 compared to £3,434 in the previous year. We show a net income of £575,549 compared to £206,772 in the previous year. Unrestricted reserves were £157,006 compared to £158,578 and we continue to decrease the pension liability by £3,000 per annum.

I am grateful to Sarah Fox (Finance & Administrative Officer), who works on and prepares all accounts that are presented to the Executive Committee and which Bevan & Buckland use to prepare the final accounts.

During the year, we received a number of grants totalling £ £559,046 compared to £188,523 in the previous year. These projects contributed towards our management costs. Further income was achieved in the form of membership fees amounting to £16,117.

The Company operates a defined contribution scheme of which there is currently one member. This has been ‘closed to new entrants’ since 2008.

Following an increase last year CWVYS now holds £90,000 of reserves, representing six months non-project turnover.

Your Executive Committee has approved these accounts and this meeting is simply asked to receive them. If there are any questions you have, please email them to us.

ADRODDIAD TRYSORYDD CWVYS 2022/2023

Pleser yw gallu cyflwyno cyfrifon CWVYS i chi.

Mae gwerth gwaith ieuenctid yn y sector gwirfoddol a CWVYS yn haeddiannol yn cael ei gydnabod. Mae hyn, ar yr un pryd, yn datblygu dylanwad a gwaith CWVYS.

Rwy'n falch iawn o allu cyflwyno adroddiad cadarnhaol arall sy'n rhoi CWVYS ar sail ariannol dda wrth i ni barhau i ddylanwadu ar bolisi a chefnogi'r sector gwirfoddol.

Yn unol â’r Ddeddf Cwmnïau briodol rydym wedi cymryd mantais o’r cyfle sy’n caniatáu i ni gael ein heithrio o archwiliad gyda’r arbedion costau a ddaw gyda hyn. Mae’r cyfrifon wedi cael eu harchwilio yn unol â’r gofynion cyfrifo y’u nodir yn Neddf Cwmnïau 2006 a chawsant eu cymeradwyo gan eich Pwyllgor Gweithredol yn ystod eu cyfarfod yn gynharach heddiw. Mae’r Ymddiriedolwyr yn parhau i fonitro incwm a gwariant yn ofalus ac mae hyn wedi ein galluogi i fasnachu o fewn ein gallu unwaith eto ac roedd gennym warged o £27,767 o gymharu â £3,434 yn y flwyddyn flaenorol. Dangoswn incwm net o £575,549 , o gymharu â £206,772 yn y flwyddyn flaenorol. Roedd gennym gronfeydd anghyfyngedig o £157,006 o gymharu â £158,578 ac rydym yn parhau i ostwng y rhwymedigaeth bensiwn gan £3,000 y flwyddyn.

Rwy'n ddiolchgar i Sarah Fox (Swyddog Cyllid a Gweinyddiaeth), sy'n gweithio ar yr holl gyfrifon ac yn eu paratoi i'w cyflwyno i'r Pwyllgor Gweithredol ac a ddefnyddir gan Bevan & Buckland i baratoi'r cyfrifon terfynol.

Yn ystod y flwyddyn rydym wedi derbyn nifer o grantiau gwerth cyfanswm o £559,046 o gymharu â £188,523 y flwyddyn flaenorol. Cyfrannodd y prosiectau hyn tuag at ein costau rheoli. Daeth rhagor o incwm ar ffurf ffioedd aelodaeth, cyfanswm o £16,117.

Mae’r Cwmni’n gweithredu cynllun cyfraniadau diffiniedig ac ar hyn o bryd mae un aelod. Mae hyn wedi bod ‘ar gau i aelodau newydd’ ers 2008.

Yn dilyn cynnydd y llynedd, mae gan CWVYS bellach £90,000 o gronfeydd wrth gefn, sy'n cynrychioli trosiant o chwe mis nad sy'n drosiant prosiectau.

Mae eich Pwyllgor Gweithredol wedi cymeradwyo'r cyfrifon hyn a'r cwbl y gofynnir i'r cyfarfod hwn wneud yw eu derbyn. Os oes unrhyw gwestiynau gennych, anfonwch e-bost atom.

Annual Report Chair of Workforce Develo ment Grou 2022-2023 p p

The Workforce Development Group continues to meet regularly to shape, influence and support workforce development issues for the voluntary youth work sector in Wales.

The Workforce Development Group is crucial and has a role informing the voluntary youth work sector on :

Current and new workforce development-based issues
Raising awareness of learning opportunities including youth work qualifications
Sharing learning opportunities

In addition, the Workforce Development Group is a conduit to gain an understanding of the issues affecting the sector and advocating on behalf of CWVYS Members into the wider youth work workforce development issues in Wales.

During 2022-23, the Workforce Development Group met on three occasions (33 Members and 5 guest speakers attending). The following issues were discussed:-

Employability partnerships with Prince’s Trust Cymru
Learning opportunities with Glyndwr University Youth & Community team,
Registration, the Professional Code of Conduct and Practice, publications, and events with Education Workforce Council (EWC)
Dr Darrel Williams, University of Wales Trinity St David: spoke about the planned Professional Doctorate programme, focusing on the needs and aspirations of the children, young people, and community workforce sectors in Wales
Leadership with Emma Chivers from the National Academy for Educational Leadership (NAEL)

At each meeting updates are provided on the Youth Work Quality Mark for Wales; Adult Learning Wales opportunities to gain qualifications; ETS (Education and Training Standards) Wales Committee; Education Workforce Council (EWC) and the Workforce Development Implementation Group (WDIPG). These updates and discussions provide members the opportunity to gain further insight into developments impacting the workforce and to inform CWVYS representatives, in order to advocate on behalf of the sector.

For 2023-2024, the Workforce Development Group looks forward to providing input into the workforce plan for youth work in Wales which is being prepared for the Youth Work Strategy Implementation Board by the WDIPG.

CWVYS Safeguarding sub-group

The key development during 2022-2023 has been the establishment of the Safeguarding subgroup. The sub-group works to the CWVYS Workforce Development Group and is a safe space to discuss and address safeguarding within the voluntary youth work sector.

Page 16 of 24

The sub-group was established at the request of members, in response to growing concerns about the topic in general but also regarding the rapidly evolving nature of issues being faced by paid and unpaid workers in the voluntary youth work sector.

The Safeguarding Subgroup has met on 3 occasions since its first meeting in July 2022. As a result of the Safeguarding Subgroup meetings to date, representations have been made to Welsh Government, ETS, EWC, WFDIPG regarding the Social Care Wales Safeguarding Training Framework, principally:

the lack of awareness of the framework
its implications; the potential implications for the whole sector: on training provision, compliance, the impact on youth work qualifications and the youth work development plan,
lack of training providers and a contextualised course design for the YW sector in Wales

Thank you

To members who attend the Workforce Development Group and the Safeguarding sub-group, without you we are unable to influence and make change happen to support our members.

To Kerry Rees, the vice chair for both the Workforce Development Group and the Safeguarding sub-group for the support and practice-based insight that shapes the discussions and further representations.

Adroddiad Blynyddol Cadeirydd Grwp Datbl u’r Gwiithlu 2022-2023 yg

Mae Grŵp Datblygu'r Gweithlu yn parhau i gyfarfod yn rheolaidd i lunio, dylanwadu a chefnogi materion datblygu'r gweithlu ar gyfer y sector gwaith ieuenctid gwirfoddol yng Nghymru.

Mae Grŵp Datblygu’r Gweithlu yn hollbwysig ac mae ganddo rôl i hysbysu’r sector gwaith ieuenctid gwirfoddol ar y canlynol:

Materion presennol a newydd yn seiliedig ar ddatblygu'r gweithlu
Codi ymwybyddiaeth o gyfleoedd dysgu gan gynnwys cymwysterau gwaith ieuenctid
Rhannu cyfleoedd dysgu

Yn ogystal, mae Grŵp Datblygu'r Gweithlu yn gyfrwng i ennill dealltwriaeth o'r materion sy'n effeithio ar y sector ac eirioli ar ran Aelodau CWVYS i faterion datblygu gweithlu gwaith ieuenctid ehangach yng Nghymru.

Yn ystod 2022-23, cyfarfu Grŵp Datblygu’r Gweithlu ar dri achlysur (33 Aelod a 5 siaradwr gwadd yn mynychu). Trafodwyd y materion canlynol:-

Partneriaethau cyflogadwyedd gydag Ymddiriedolaeth y Tywysog Cymru
Cyfleoedd dysgu gyda thîm Ieuenctid a Chymuned Prifysgol Glyndŵr,

Siaradodd Dr Darrel Williams, Prifysgol Cymru Y Drindod Dewi Sant am y rhaglen Doethuriaeth Broffesiynol arfaethedig, gan ganolbwyntio ar anghenion a dyheadau’r sectorau plant, pobl ifanc a’r gweithlu cymunedol yng Nghymru
Arweinyddiaeth gydag Emma Chivers o'r Academi Genedlaethol ar gyfer Arweinyddiaeth Addysgol Cymru (NAEL)

Ym mhob cyfarfod rhoddir diweddariadau ar Farc Ansawdd Gwaith Ieuenctid Cymru; cyfleoedd Addysgu Oedolion Cymru i ennill cymwysterau; Pwyllgor ETS (Safonau Addysg a Hyfforddiant) Cymru; Cyngor y Gweithlu Addysg (CGA) a Grŵp Gweithredu Datblygu'r Gweithlu (WDIPG). Mae'r diweddariadau a'r trafodaethau hyn yn rhoi cyfle i aelodau gael cipolwg pellach ar ddatblygiadau sy'n effeithio ar y gweithlu ac i hysbysu cynrychiolwyr CWVYS, er mwyn eirioli ar ran y sector.

Ar gyfer 2023-2024, mae Grŵp Datblygu’r Gweithlu yn edrych ymlaen at ddarparu mewnbwn i gynllun y gweithlu ar gyfer gwaith ieuenctid yng Nghymru sy’n cael ei baratoi ar gyfer Bwrdd Gweithredu Strategaeth Gwaith Ieuenctid gan y WDIPG.

Is-grŵp Diogelu CWVYS

Y datblygiad allweddol yn ystod 2022-2023 fu sefydlu’r Is-grŵp Diogelu. Mae’r is-grŵp yn atebol i Grŵp Datblygu Gweithlu CWVYS ac mae’n fan diogel i drafod a mynd i’r afael â diogelu o fewn y sector gwaith ieuenctid gwirfoddol.

Sefydlwyd yr is-grŵp ar gais yr aelodau, mewn ymateb i bryderon cynyddol am y pwnc yn gyffredinol ond hefyd ynglŷn â natur newidiol gyflym y materion y mae gweithwyr cyflogedig a didâl yn y sector gwaith ieuenctid gwirfoddol yn eu hwynebu.

Mae’r Is-grŵp Diogelu wedi cyfarfod 3 gwaith ers ei gyfarfod cyntaf ym mis Gorffennaf 2022.

O ganlyniad i gyfarfodydd yr Is-grŵp Diogelu hyd yma, mae sylwadau wedi’u cyflwyno i Lywodraeth Cymru, ETS, CGA, WFDIPG ynghylch Fframwaith Hyfforddiant Diogelu Gofal Cymdeithasol Cymru, yn bennaf:

diffyg ymwybyddiaeth o'r fframwaith
ei oblygiadau; y goblygiadau posibl i’r sector cyfan: ar ddarpariaeth hyfforddiant, cydymffurfiaeth, yr effaith ar gymwysterau gwaith ieuenctid a’r cynllun datblygu gwaith ieuenctid,
diffyg darparwyr hyfforddiant a chynllun cwrs cyd-destunol ar gyfer y sector gwaith ieuenctid yng Nghymru

Diolch

I aelodau sy’n mynychu Grŵp Datblygu’r Gweithlu a’r Is-grŵp Diogelu, heboch chi ni allwn ddylanwadu a gwneud i newid ddigwydd i gefnogi ein haelodau.

I Kerry Rees, is-gadeirydd Grŵp Datblygu'r Gweithlu a'r Is-grŵp Diogelu am y cymorth a'r mewnwelediad sy'n seiliedig ar ymarfer sy'n llywio'r trafodaethau a'r cynrychiolaethau pellach.

Chief Executive Report 2022-2023

This time last year, Helen Jones regaled you with thoughts of ‘CWVYS at 75’. Our 75[th] year has whizzed by: huge strides taken, a few setbacks experienced, and enormous amounts of human energy expended. All this amid change, challenge, and cost of living crises, creating more difficult times for those on the frontline in the voluntary youth work sector.

And yet…the sector has, once again, responded brilliantly: still striving to provide the best services possible for young people in Wales.

CWVYS pays tribute to the individuals and organisations which continue making critical contributions to the lives of young people across Wales, sometimes against large odds but always (always) with true resilience, innovation, and a real hunger to meet the needs of young people.

CWVYS Strategic Plan 2023-2026

The newly-revised Plan sets out ambitious, exciting, and necessary targets as CWVYS seeks to improve its overall delivery of services and to develop its sector representative role.

Membership

145 organisations were registered as Members in 2022/23. We welcomed new organisations and retained existing groups. CWVYS is grateful for the support of our Member organisations – we are very proud to represent them all.

As the representative body for the voluntary youth work sector, we continue to support and provide opportunities for the sector to participate in strategic and policymaking discussions. Examples include the Implementation Participation Groups (IPGs) which support and challenge the Youth Work Strategy Implementations Board’s work on all 14 recommendations of the Interim Youth Work Board’s report Time to Deliver ; the Third Sector Partnership Council; and Third Sector/Welsh Government departmental Groups, amongst many others.

CWVYS continues to represent the voluntary youth work sector on a range of strategic groups and fora. This includes seats on all IPGs, as Chair of the Youth Work Marketing Group and Chair of the Young Person’s Guarantee Advisory Group, as a member of Taith Advisory Board on behalf of the voluntary youth sector and as co-Chair of the Taith Youth Work Stakeholder Group of which it was the founding member. We also continue to research and develop opportunities to strengthen our collaborative reach.

Examples of activities last year:

CWVYS Communications: CWVYS published 22 newsletters (12 international; 12 general) received by 7,861 people in total. CWVYS currently has 8,459 Twitter followers and is active on Instagram. All website posts are bilingual entries. We regularly share developments and receive feedback from Member organisations, always aiming to improve on service delivery.

Page 19 of 24

CWVYS Membership & Business: We have been working with University of South Wales under a KESS funded programme to build a comprehensive voluntary sector-wide picture of organisations working with young people across Wales. This aims to provide a clearer picture of the breadth and diversity of youth work services but also identify potential new Members for CWVYS. Our thanks go to MbyRes student Lizzy Bacon plus Dr Jenny Maher and Dr Howard Williamson for their hard work, support, and guidance.

We continue to provide a broad range of support services to our existing Members. This includes presentations from funders and wellbeing guidance from experts in the field. A Members’ needs analysis survey is gathering information on issues and support required.

This links to our Business Group work which has developed well, thanks to the ongoing commitment from our business, education, and sector representatives. A marketing brochure and introductory meetings with prospective businesses have been well received.

CWVYS and our consortium partners – Boys’ and Girls’ Clubs of Wales, Cardiff Metropolitan University and University of Wales Trinity Saint David – have been contracted by the South Wales Police & Crime Commissioner’s office and South Wales Police to deliver the South Wales Police Youth Volunteers (SWPYV) programme. This exciting opportunity will embed youth work practice within SWPYV operations for the next 4-7 years.

Whole sector Marketing & Communications

Support for and partnering with the sector-wide Marketing & Communications Officer and the Marketing & Communications Assistant (both line managed and hosted by CWVYS) has resulted in fundamental, much-needed and very positive steps forward.

Very successful programmes such as Youth Work Week and a fantastic Youth Work Excellence Awards project and ceremony on a very foggy December evening in Swansea, profile-raising and media appearances in an extremely professional manner: essentially what the sector has been craving for many years. Thank you to the Youth Engagement Branch of the Welsh Government for listening and for providing the funds to support these ‘new ways’.

CWVYS Regional Groups : collaborative working opportunities, sharing of good practice, two-way conversations on national policy issues and the gathering of operational intelligence are why the Groups are so successful. The meetings continued to provide vital support for Members. A total of 19 meetings were held with 347 attendees and 27 guest speakers during 2022/23.

Taith: CWVYS represented the voluntary youth sector at 6 Taith Advisory Board meetings. The Taith Youth Work Stakeholder Group, co-chaired by CWVYS and the PYOG, met 6 times with 54 attendees.

As lead partner in the Taith Youth Sector Organising Body consortium, it has been a pleasure to have worked closely and successfully with the Welsh Centre for International Affairs and Boys’ and Girls’ Clubs of Wales. The consortium has also enjoyed a very strong and productive partnership with the Taith team, and especially with Ellie Bevan, Susana Galvan-Hernandez, and Sion James.

Joint Strategic Group for Youth Work: CWVYS Trustees and the Wales PYOG have met regularly to discuss common ground, work on joint approaches to policy and funding opportunities and to encourage improved communications across the whole sector.

One very positive outcome of note: a revised and co-authored version of Youth Work in Wales: Principles and Purposes , published in November 2022.

Partnerships

CWVYS pro-actively participates in collaborative and positive partnerships and enjoys key working relationships with colleagues in Welsh Government, its Youth Engagement Branch in particular; Youth Work Strategy Implementation Board; Wales Principal Youth Officers’ Group; Welsh Local Government Association; Joint Strategic Group for Youth Work; Adult Learning Wales; ETS Wales; Education Workforce Council; Taith; Cranfield Trust; Young Person’s Guarantee Advisory Group; Higher Education Institutions; Estyn; al Police & Crime Commissioners; Paul Hamlyn Foundation; Royal Society for Blind Children, National Academy of Educational Leadership; WCVA; to name but a few.

To conclude…

I am very grateful to the CWVYS Officers – Eluned Parrott, Steph Price, Rich Flowerdew and Marco Gil-Cervantes - for their support and guidance. My thanks also to CWVYS Trustees, and to Anna McMorrin MP and the Presidents’ Group for their insight and expertise.

A special thank you and our personal and collective gratitude to Rob Norris, former Chair of CWVYS for no less than 9 years, who is stepping down from his CWVYS Vice-President role after another 9 years. Rob has been incredibly supportive – to me, to CWVYS and the whole sector. His dedication, commitment, intelligence, and energy have helped to propel CWVYS through thick and thin. We will miss Rob’s presence at Presidents’ Group meetings but the legacy of his time with CWVYS will resonate hugely for a very long time.

And I would also like to say ‘thank you’ to Helen Jones (Communications Officer), Sarah Fox (Finance & Administration Officer), Amanda Everson (Membership & Business Development Officer, Catrin James (Reginal Co-ordinator), Ellie Parker (Marketing & Communications Officer), Branwen Niclas (Marketing & Communications Assistant) and new recruit Manon Williams (Communications Officer). I am indebted to every one of them for their hard work, skill, knowledge, patience, and tremendous support. They make what CWVYS is today.

Looking ahead to 2023/24, I’ll return to the first sentence of this report and to Helen and to the hope of a brighter future for everyone. In April, welcomed our first CWVYS baby: Mari no doubt already has her name down to attend an open access youth club…

We look forward to working with you all in 2023/24.

Paul Glaze Chief Executive June 2023

Adroddiad y Prif Weithredwr 2022-2023

Yr adeg hon y llynedd, bu Helen Jones yn eich diddanu gyda hanesion 'CWVYS yn 75'. Mae ein 75[ain ] blwyddyn wedi gwibio heibio: cymerwyd camau breision, cafwyd ambell anhawster a gwnaed llawer iawn o egni dynol. Hyn oll ynghanol newidiadau, her, ac argyfyngau costau byw, gan greu amseroedd anoddach i’r rheini sydd ar y rheng flaen yn y sector gwaith ieuenctid gwirfoddol.

Er hyn…mae’r sector, unwaith eto, wedi ymateb yn wych: yn dal i ymdrechu i ddarparu’r gwasanaethau gorau posibl i bobl ifanc Cymru.

Mae CWVYS yn talu teyrnged i’r unigolion a’r mudiadau sy’n parhau i wneud cyfraniadau hollbwysig i fywydau pobl ifanc ledled Cymru, weithiau’n groes i bob disgwyl ond bob amser (bob amser) gyda gwir wydnwch, arloesedd, a gwir frwdfrydedd i ddiwallu anghenion pobl ifanc.

Cynllun Strategol CWVYS 2023-2026

Mae'r Cynllun ar ei newydd wedd yn nodi sawl targed uchelgeisiol ac angenrheidiol wrth i CWVYS geisio gwella ei ddarpariaeth gyffredinol o wasanaethau a datblygu ei rôl fel cynrychiolydd y sector.

Aelodaeth

Roedd 145 o fudiadau wedi'u cofrestru'n Aelodau yn 2022/23. Croesawom fudiadau newydd a chadw grwpiau cyfredol. Mae CWVYS yn ddiolchgar am gefnogaeth ein haelod-sefydliadau – rydym yn falch iawn o’u cynrychioli i gyd.

Fel corff cynrychioliadol ar gyfer y sector gwaith ieuenctid gwirfoddol, rydym yn parhau i gefnogi a darparu cyfleoedd i'r sector gymryd rhan mewn trafodaethau strategol a llunio polisi. Mae enghreifftiau'n cynnwys y Grwpiau Gweithredu Cyfranogiad (IPGs) sy'n cefnogi ac yn herio gwaith Bwrdd Gweithredu'r Strategaeth Gwaith Ieuenctid ar bob un o'r 14 argymhelliad yn adroddiad y Bwrdd Gwaith Ieuenctid Dros Dro Mae'n Bryd Cyflawni; Cyngor Partneriaeth y Trydydd Sector; a grwpiau adrannol y Trydydd Sector/Llywodraeth Cymru ymhlith nifer o rai eraill. Mae CWVYS yn parhau i gynrychioli'r sector gwaith ieuenctid gwirfoddol ar wahanol grwpiau a fforymau strategol. Mae hyn yn cynnwys seddi ar yr holl IPGs, fel Cadeirydd Grŵp Marchnata Gwaith Ieuenctid a Chadeirydd Grŵp Cynghori Gwarant Pobl Ifanc, fel aelod o Fwrdd Cynghori Taith ar ran y sector ieuenctid gwirfoddol ac fel cyd-Gadeirydd Grŵp Budd-ddeiliaid Gwaith Ieuenctid Taith, yr oedd yn aelod sefydlu ohono. Rydym hefyd yn parhau i ymchwilio a datblygu cyfleoedd i gryfhau ein cyrhaeddiad cydweithredol.

Enghreifftiau o weithgareddau y llynedd:

Cyfathrebu CWVYS: Cyhoeddodd CWVYS 22 cylchlythyr (12 rhyngwladol; 12 cyffredinol) a dderbyniwyd gan gyfanswm o 7,861 o bobl. Ar hyn o bryd mae gan CWVYS 8,459 o ddilynwyr ar Twitter ac mae'n brysur ar Instagram. Mae pob postiad ar y wefan yn ddwyieithog. Rydym yn

Page 22 of 24

rhannu datblygiadau’n rheolaidd ac yn derbyn adborth gan aelod-sefydliadau, gyda’r nod bob amser o wella’r modd y darperir gwasanaethau.

Aelodaeth a Busnes CWVYS : Rydym yn gweithio gyda Phrifysgol De Cymru o dan raglen a ariennir gan KESS i adeiladu darlun cynhwysfawr o’r sector gwirfoddol cyfan o fudiadau sy’n gweithio gyda phobl ifanc ledled Cymru. Nod hwn yw rhoi darlun cliriach o ehangder ac amrywiaeth gwasanaethau gwaith ieuenctid ond hefyd i nodi Aelodau newydd posibl ar gyfer CWVYS. Hoffem ddiolch i Lizzy Bacon, myfyrwraig o MbyRes, ynghyd â Dr Jenny Maher a Dr Howard Williamson am eu gwaith caled, eu cefnogaeth a'u harweiniad.

Rydym yn parhau i ddarparu ystod eang o wasanaethau cymorth i'n Haelodau presennol. Mae hyn yn cynnwys cyflwyniadau gan ariannwyr ac arweiniad lles gan arbenigwyr yn y maes. Mae arolwg dadansoddi anghenion Aelodau yn casglu gwybodaeth am faterion a chymorth sydd ei angen. Mae hyn yn cysylltu â gwaith ein Grŵp Busnes sydd wedi datblygu’n dda, diolch i ymrwymiad parhaus ein cynrychiolwyr busnes, addysg, a'r sector. Mae croeso da wedi bod i lyfryn marchnata a chyfarfodydd rhagarweiniol gyda darpar fusnesau.

Mae CWVYS a’n partneriaid consortiwm – Clybiau Bechgyn a Merched Cymru, Prifysgol Metropolitan Caerdydd a Phrifysgol Cymru y Drindod Dewi Sant – wedi’u contractio gan swyddfa Comisiynydd Heddlu a Throseddu De Cymru a Heddlu De Cymru i ddarparu rhaglen Gwirfoddolwyr Ieuenctid Heddlu De Cymru (SWPYV). Bydd y cyfle cyffrous hwn yn ymgorffori arferion gwaith ieuenctid o fewn gweithrediadau SWPYV am y 4-7 mlynedd nesaf.

Marchnata a Chyfathrebu sector cyfan

Mae cefnogaeth a phartneriaeth i'r Swyddog Marchnata a Chyfathrebu ar draws y sector a'r Cynorthwy-ydd Marchnata a Chyfathrebu (y ddau wedi'u rheoli a'u cynnal gan CWVYS) wedi arwain at gamau sylfaenol, y mae mawr angen amdanynt, a rhai cadarnhaol iawn.

Rhaglenni llwyddiannus iawn fel Wythnos Gwaith Ieuenctid a phrosiect a seremoni Gwobrau Rhagoriaeth Gwaith Ieuenctid gwych ar noson niwlog iawn ym mis Rhagfyr yn Abertawe, codi proffil ac ymddangosiadau yn y cyfryngau mewn modd hynod broffesiynol: yn ei hanfod yr hyn y mae’r sector wedi bod yn ei ddymuno ers blynyddoedd lawer. Diolch i Gangen Ymgysylltu ag Ieuenctid Llywodraeth Cymru am wrando ac am ddarparu’r arian i gefnogi’r ‘dulliau newydd’ hyn.

Grwpiau Rhanbarthol CWVYS: cyfleoedd cydweithio, rhannu arfer da, sgyrsiau dwy ffordd ar faterion polisi cenedlaethol a chasglu gwybodaeth weithredol yw’r rheswm pam fod y Grwpiau mor llwyddiannus. Mae'r cyfarfodydd wedi parhau i ddarparu cymorth hanfodol i Aelodau. Cynhaliwyd cyfanswm o 19 o gyfarfodydd gyda 347 o fynychwyr a 27 o siaradwyr gwadd yn ystod 2022/23.

Taith: Cynrychiolodd CWVYS y sector ieuenctid gwirfoddol mewn 6 chyfarfod Bwrdd Ymgynghorol Taith. Cyfarfu Grŵp Budd-ddeiliaid Gwaith Ieuenctid Taith, sy'n cael ei gyd-gadeirio gan CWVYS a'r PYOG, 6 gwaith gyda 54 yn mynychu.

Fel partner arweiniol yng nghonsortiwm Corff Trefnu Sector Ieuenctid Taith, mae wedi bod yn bleser gweithio’n agos ac yn llwyddiannus gyda Chanolfan Materion Rhyngwladol Cymru a Chlybiau Bechgyn a Merched Cymru. Mae’r consortiwm hefyd wedi mwynhau partneriaeth gref a chynhyrchiol iawn gyda thîm Taith, ac yn enwedig gydag Ellie Bevan, Susana Galvan-Hernandez, a Sion James.

Page 23 of 24

Cyd-grŵp Strategol ar gyfer Gwaith Ieuenctid : Mae Ymddiriedolwyr CWVYS a PYOG Cymru wedi cyfarfod yn rheolaidd i drafod tir cyffredin, gweithio ar ymagweddau ar y cyd at gyfleoedd polisi a chyllid ac i annog gwell cyfathrebu ar draws y sector cyfan.

Un canlyniad cadarnhaol iawn i’w nodi: fersiwn ddiwygiedig ac wedi’i hysgrifennu ar y cyd Gwaith Ieuenctid yng Nghymru: Egwyddorion a Dibenion , a gyhoeddwyd ym mis Tachwedd 2022.

Partneriaethau

Mae CWVYS yn cymryd rhan ragweithiol mewn partneriaethau cydweithredol a chadarnhaol ac yn mwynhau perthnasoedd gwaith allweddol gyda chydweithwyr yn Llywodraeth Cymru, Y Gangen Ymgysylltu ag Ieuenctid yn benodol; Bwrdd Gweithredu Strategaeth Gwaith Ieuenctid; Grŵp Prif Swyddogion Ieuenctid Cymru; Cymdeithas Llywodraeth Leol Cymru; Cyd-grŵp Strategol ar gyfer Gwaith Ieuenctid; Addysg Oedolion Cymru; ETS Cymru; Cyngor y Gweithlu Addysg; Taith; Ymddiriedolaeth Cranfield; Grŵp Cynghori Gwarant i Bobl Ifanc; Sefydliadau Addysg Uwch; Estyn; Comisiynwyr Heddlu a Throseddu; Sefydliad Paul Hamlyn; Y Gymdeithas Frenhinol ar gyfer Plant Dall, Yr Academi Genedlaethol ar gyfer Arweinyddiaeth Addysgol; Cyngor Gweithredu Gwirfoddol Cymru; i enwi ond ychydig.

I gloi…

Rwyf yn hynod ddiolchgar i Swyddogion CWVYS – Eluned Parrott, Steph Price, Rich Flowerdew a Marco Gil-Cervantes - am eu cefnogaeth ac arweiniad. Diolch hefyd i Ymddiriedolwyr CWVYS, Anna McMorrin AS a'r Grŵp Llywyddion am eu mewnwelediad a'u harbenigedd.

Diolch arbennig a’n diolch personol a chyfunol i Rob Norris, cyn Gadeirydd CWVYS am ddim llai na 9 mlynedd, sy’n rhoi’r gorau i’w rôl fel Is-lywydd CWVYS ar ôl 9 mlynedd arall. Mae Rob wedi bod yn hynod gefnogol – i mi, i CWVYS a’r sector cyfan. Mae ei ymroddiad, ei ymrwymiad, ei ddeallusrwydd a'i egni wedi helpu i yrru CWVYS trwy'r tew a'r tenau. Byddwn yn gweld eisiau presenoldeb Rob yng nghyfarfodydd Grŵp y Llywyddion ond bydd etifeddiaeth ei gyfnod gyda CWVYS yn atseinio'n fawr am amser hir iawn.

A hoffwn hefyd ddweud ‘diolch’ i Helen Jones (Swyddog Cyfathrebu), Sarah Fox (Swyddog Cyllid a Gweinyddu), Amanda Everson (Swyddog Datblygu Aelodaeth a Busnes, Catrin James (Cydlynydd Rhanbarthol), Ellie Parker (Swyddog Marchnata a Chyfathrebu), Branwen Niclas (Cynorthwyydd Marchnata a Chyfathrebu) a'r recriwt newydd Manon Williams (Swyddog Cyfathrebu). Rwy'n ddiolchgar i bob un ohonynt am eu gwaith caled, sgil, gwybodaeth, amynedd, a chefnogaeth aruthrol. Nhw sy'n gwneud CWVYS beth ydyw heddiw.

Gan edrych ymlaen at 2023/24, dychwelaf at frawddeg gyntaf yr adroddiad hwn ac at Helen ac at y gobaith o ddyfodol mwy disglair i bawb. Ym mis Ebrill, croesawyd babi cyntaf CWVYS: mae’n siŵr bod Mari eisoes wedi rhoi ei henw i lawr i fynychu clwb ieuenctid mynediad agored…

Edrychwn ymlaen at weithio gyda chi i gyd yn 2023/24.

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2023

STRATEGIC REPORT Financial review

Financial position

During the course of the year we have continued to maintain a tight fiscal policy, which has enabled us to maintain our reserves as stated above. We have been successful in securing specific funding for project work and the management costs we incorporated into our project budgets have contributed to our overall running costs. We continue to receive a significant grant from the Welsh Government and this represents our core funding, enabling us to continue with our work. During the course of the next twelve months we will explore ways of diversifying our income stream.

During the financial year the charity reported an overall net surplus of £27,767 (2022: £3,434). The unrestricted reserves at 31 March 2023 were £157,006 (2022: £158,578) and restricted reserves were £29,392 (2022 £53)

Investment policy

The policy of the Executive Committee is to place surplus funds into an interest bearing account whilst maintaining sufficient funds in a current bank account to cover immediate liabilities.

Reserves policy

It is the policy of the Executive Committee to maintain reserves equivalent to six months non-project work. The previous year's non-project work was set at a value of £80,000.

Members have agreed to increase by £10,000 to £90,000 in reserves. However, to comply with FRS 17, we have had to include the pension deficit on the Gwent (Torfaen) Pension Scheme.

Pension Funds

The Charity operates a defined benefit pension scheme for one former employee with the Greater Gwent (Torfaen) Pension Scheme. The last actuarial valuation was performed at 31 March 2022. Contributions are based on pension costs across the various participating associations taken as a whole. The assets of the scheme are invested and managed independently of the finances of CWVYS. Pension costs are assessed in accordance with the advice of the independent qualified actuary. The annual contributions payable are charged to the income and expenditure account. The note to the accounts provide detailed disclosure in respect of the scheme.

Covid-19

Since the Covid-19 pandemic lockdown phases (March 2020), the voluntary youth work sector has continued to deliver high quality youth work experiences for young people despite incredibly difficult environments in which to operate.Individuals played a hugely important role in the development of the Welsh Government’s youth work guidance, as well as assisting policymakers in understanding the day-to-day realities of delivering the best possible services for young people: initially online then via innovative and needs-led, in person working.

Cost of living issues

The increased cost of operating youth work organisations and the enormous stress on young people and communities is already taking its toll. However, the sector’s response has been, and it continues to be, outstanding, as it moves swiftly to ensure that as many young people as possible receive support, encouragement, and opportunities to engage with paid and unpaid youth workers across Wales.

CWVYS is a charitable company limited by guarantee incorporated on 5 May 2005 and registered as a Charity on 3 August 2005.
