SOUTH HAMS COMMUNITY ACTION LTD
TRUSTEES. REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS. REPORT)
FOR THE PERIOD ENDED 30 JUNE 2025
The Trustees present their report and accounts for the period ended 30 June 2025.
The accounts have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out in nole 1 to the accounts and
comply with the Charity's Memorandum & Articles of Association dated 17 April 2007 and amended on 14 April 2008
and 12 July 2011, the CompaniesAct 2006 and the Statement of Recommended Practice for charities applying FRS
102.
Objectlves and actlvltles
South Hams Communty Action Ltd (formerly South Hams Community & Voluntary SeNices) and hereafter referred
to as South Hams Community Action, is a registered charity and company limited by guarantee.
The objects as set out in the governing document are lo promote any charitsble purposes for the benefit of the
community in the local government district of South Hams and in particular, the advancement of education. the
protection of health and the relief of poverty, distress and sickness, and in furtherance of the said purposes, but not
further or othenmise. to promote and organise co-operation in the achievement of the same and to that end to bring
together in council representatives of the voluntary organisations and stalutory authorities within the area of benefit.
Our purpose was to support and represent the local voluntary, community and social enterprise (VCSE) sector in
the South Hams district. estimated to comprise around 600 organisations.
We have been running within the South Hams for 30 years and whilst this 30th year should have been a significant
milestone on our Continuing joumey we have had to lake the sad step of announcing our closure.
Despite the best efforts of our extremely talented senior management team, we have been unable to replace the
significant funding we lost from South Hams District Council (SHDC} a few years ago. This fvnding enabled us to
support our work by contributing to our core costs.
Although SHDC continued to fund us and support us with office accommodation it has been a struggle to find
sufficient core cost funding to enable us to continue.
Despite the difficulties our team have faced this year they have undertaken a range of services and supported
organisations and residents of South Hams.
We know that many other charitable organisations nationally and locally struggle with the same difficulties that we
have and face the same issues particularly with securing core costs which many funders are reluctant lo contribute
to. We are aware that many have felt that our core cost5 could have been replaced through membership
contributions from the voluntary organisalions who we support. However, many of these organisations are small
local groups who simply don't have the funding to even consider this.
ong with the difficulties with funding the Trustee5 have recognised that many things have changed in Devon and
more changes around how Councils work and consult with voluntary groups and organisations will be happening in
the future. These changes may present opportunities for the voluntary sector, but there could also be risks for local
groups that rely heavily on funding from statutory services. especially District Councils.
In taking the decision to officially close our doors on the 31st of March 2025 the Trustees considered the following..
Our current levels of reserves.,
The need to protect as many ServI￿S and jobs as possible through an organised transfer.,
The continuing uncertainty with our future and the resultant impact that may have on current staff.
The need for an organised and controlled close.
We are incredibly sad Ihal we have had to make redundancies in some area5 bLrt are pleased that our Social
Prescribing s8rvices will continue under the umbrella of Totnes Caring.
Mid Devon and West Devon CVS will take over the support of our voluntary organisations within the South Hams.

SOUTH HAMS COMMUNITY ACTION LTD
TRUSTEES. REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS. REPORT) (CONTINUED)
FOR THE PERIOD ENDED 30 JUNE 2025
The Trustees have paid due regard to guidance issued by the Charity Commission on public benefit when reviewing
the Charity's aims and objectives, and in planning the activities the Charity should undertake. The work flowng from
our purpose supported the public through helping develop services and support in their communities and supporting
individuals to enable them to volunteer. We received qualitative feedback and quantitative data which evidenced
this.
Achlevements and performance
During the budget year 1 April 2024 to 31 March 2025, we undertook the following work..
The social prescribing team supported over 320 clienls. Most of the dients were offered up to six sessions
with referrals coming from the local medical practices.
45 clients were supported by our community link worker. The community link worker provided more
intensive one-to-one support, IT training, helped with form filling for clienls who were unable to Iravel, grant
applications for items such as mobility scooters and ran an online peer support group.
Our consultation work with the Ukrainian community culminated in an event attended by around 100 people
in July 2024 - Ukrainians and their hosts
where they were able to connect with a range of agencies
including housing, employment. education and other support services.
We ran a free Volunteer engagement day which was attended by 40 groups- who were offered infomiation
and advice on volunteer recruitment, retention and best practi￿. Also supporting people with disabilities to
volunteer and upskilling our VCSE around social media.
We offered one-to-one and group support to over 100 VCSE groups on a range of matters including
governance, fundraising, volunteer re¢ruitment and retention. policies and procedures.
We have attended libraries and other events to support groups around volunteer recruitment and funding.
We provided a fortnightly funding bulletin to our members.
We sent out a weekly email providing news and informalion to over 300 VCSE groups and partners.
We have written press releases. newsletter articles and undertaken hundreds of social media posts
publicising volunteering, for befriending and community transport, and other local needs.
We offered training in disability awareness, safeguarding. communications. HOPE (help overcoming
problems effectively) and volunteer induction.
We undertook a disability survey to encourage our groups lo promote volunteering opportunities
make these more aC￿SSible- to people with disabilities.
We attended three people with disabilities job and learning events and actively supported people with
disabilities into volunteering opportunitie5 with our groups.
We attended other volunteer recruitment events, providing one-to-one support on a range of opportunities
available with our VCSE in the South Hams.
and
We worked with a range of Corporate volunteering organisalions- inviting Kier Group into the South Hams
and promoting their offer and encouraging other local organisations to make their corporate volunteering
offer more flexible to the needs of our VCSE.
We supported the Devon Mental Health Alliance mental health drop-in weekly sessions in Ivybridge.
We helped develop Devon Breathers to set up two peer support groups for people with COPD and
brealhing difficulties in Wembury and Yealmpton.
We ran three cancer listening events, attended by over 30 people. The first cancer listening event led to the
creation of the Sunshine Group- a cancer peer-5UPPQrt group in Yealmpton, which is regularly attended by
around 15-18 people each month.

SOUTH HAMS COMMUNITY ACTION LTD
TRUSTEES. REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS, REPORT) {CONTINUED)
FOR THE PERIOD ENDED 30 JUNE 2025
We have run local Caring Alliances in Erme & Yealm, Kingsbridge & District and the district-wide Caring
Alliance. The latter was attended by VCSE groups and strategic partners.
We have supported a wealth of other partnership meetings and groups including the cost-of-living group,
Dementia-friendly communilies. VCSE Alliance, subgroups for children and young people, families. menlal
health and older people. We have been the voice for the South Harns voluntary sector with the West Local
Care Partnership and the Healthy Ageing Board.
We ran eight transport surveys in parishes in the South Hams, engaging with around 1500 residents
including one-to-one discussions in areas where residents were unlikely to engage with the online or paper
surveys. These surveys were undertaken due lo access to transport being identified as the top barrier to
reducing social isolation in our social isolation and loneliness in the South Hams report.
Our work around Loneliness and social isolation has been presented to the West Local Care Partnerships,
the VCSE Assernbly, Healthy Ageing Boards and other strategic partners.
Flnaneial review
The Charity received funding from South Hams District Council as well as from various other sources. which varied
from period to period.
There was a deficit of income over expenditure of funds for the period of £80.940 (2024- deficit of £89,007).
It 15 the intention of the Trustees, that the charitable company is struck off in the forthcoming accounting period.
The Trustees would like to take this opportunity to thank all the funders and partners of South Hams Community
Action- especially South Hams District Council for ils support, all the town and parish councils which have supported
us, South Hams Primary Care Ne￿Ork and Mewstone Primary Care Network. as well as Devon County Council,
and other organisations such as the Devon Communities Foundation. Garfield Weston and the National Lottery.
Your support has made a huge difference. and without your support we would not have able to do the work we did.
