ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE

Charitable activities

Objective - Working with people with learning disabilities to provide horticultural training and work experience. This programme has been successfully extended to include supervised training and work experience in Cawdors Tearoom.

Stackpole Walled Gardens :

One side effect of the pandemic seemed to be increased public interest in gardening. A second order of plants had to be made in Spring 2022 as the original batch sold out so quickly. Garden machinery was serviced and both the tractor and mower needed new parts which took time to arrive.

A legacy gratefully received from the Hywel Davies foundation has enabled three projects to get underway in the past year: a Workshop to provide a wet weather training and work-space for students; regeneration of the Sensory Garden and a Vineyard to provide new horticultural interest and possible income.

The Vice Chairman took responsibility for the Workshop design and organised meetings with the National Trust, CADW and the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park planning authority. Having completed this consultation stage, the next step is to submit a planning application.

Working with the gardeners and students, he also helped plan regeneration of the Sensory Garden. It was agreed to erect a gazebo and a border of scented and textured plants. Paths of crunchy materials like seashells will help to stimulate different senses and provide a special experience for visitors. A bench with an audio feature will play clips from the oral history project, this will provide further sensory stimulation, along with information about the charity and the Walled Garden history.

The Chairman led on the Vineyard project, ordering hardware and 1500 vines of three varieties: Pinot Grigio, Solaris, Bacchus. Preparation included consulting with two specialist wine-making companies, visiting Velfrey Vineyard and sending one of the Gardeners on a specialist vineyard management course. This is a long-term project which should achieve full capacity in Year four or five.

The Gardeners and students have been involved in the early stages of setting out the vineyard which has included moving the strawberry and rhubarb beds. Feelings about this new development have been mixed and change is never easy. However, there is growing interest in being involved in this new chapter for the Walled Garden.

Vines were of course grown a century ago when the garden provided a wide range of produce, including exotics like pineapples, melons and grapes, for the Cawdor family who resided at Stackpole Court.

Students:

The students were pleased to return to the Walled Garden after all the disruption of the pandemic. They had missed socialising with their friends at Stackpole, as well as working in the open air. However, numbers had dropped due to a mix of reasons, including transport issues and some students having lost confidence after being away for so long. The tutor and gardeners restored confidence of more vulnerable participants and succeeded in getting their studies back on track. Two new participants were welcomed from Coleg Plas Dwbl in north Pembrokeshire, run by the Ruskin Mill Trust.

Students enjoyed a summer barbecue in the garden which was their first opportunity for socialising for more than two years. Once again, the Tearoom staff hosted everyone to Christmas lunch over two days when students also received their learning achievement awards.

Staff:

Debbie Drewett entered her thirteenth year of service as Garden Manager, covering a wide remit: from student education and training to business and financial management. Her attention to detail ensured a successful return to operation for the Stackpole Walled Gardens site.

Debbie represents Pembrokeshire Mencap at external meetings, including the Day Opportunities Forum, and the Learning Disability Partnership Board. In addition, she sits on the Pembrokeshire College Advisory Forum and attends Pembrokeshire Tourism meetings.

Report of the Trustees for the Year Ended 31 March 2023

Julian Rollins undertook the Horticultural Tutor role very efficiently, using the online workbooks system and ensuring that the different accredited units were completed on time. He also made an important contribution to the Citizen Curator oral history project, talking it through with students and organizing interviews in liaison with Trustee, Caroline Marmara, who led on the project which is funded by Heritage Lottery, administered by Mencap Cymru.

Lauren Dehtiar continued as Garden Team Leader working to a plan drawn up with long time staff member Martin Wood Robinson who now works one day a week. Brian O'Neill continues in his role as a gardener who also assists with participants' training and is the main bus driver. In August 2022, the Gardening Team was joined by Mark Cox who is qualified to drive the minibus. Morgan Williams continued to provide gardening support and chaperoned students on the bus. He has taken on additional responsibility for the vineyard aspect of the Garden which involved him successfully completing a residential management course.

Tearoom and Shop:

The Tearoom re-opened at full strength in early April 2022, having operated at a reduced level throughout 2021 due to the pandemic. A new cool cabinet and a more subtle lighting system enabled better display of menu items and a more welcoming atmosphere for visitors. New dishes like pork rolls proved popular.

A new dishwasher was purchased over the winter 2022/23, the coffee machine was overhauled and plans are in hand for a new till system.

Staff recruitment was once again an issue in 2022, consistent with reports from across the hospitality sector. The Manager advertised widely and despite staff being taken on, some found transport difficult or failed to work at weekends. Volunteers helped in busy holiday periods and things settled down later in the summer.

The Tearoom Team Leader, Sheila Davies, worked long days through the busy season, having returned to work following a period of ill health. Trustees are grateful for her dedication.

Jubilee week proved to be a record breaker when the Tearoom took more than £7000. Overall sales were up on pre-pandemic years, with end of year gross takings of about £170,000 - £40,000 more than ever taken in the past.

Thanks to a considerable effort, the food cost margin remained within target. Raw material costs for items containing flour and sugar rose quite dramatically and all prices have increased over the season. A minimum 10% increase in menu prices was anticipated for the 2023 season, especially as the minimum wage would be rising to £10.42 from April.

The shop re-opened with more local craft and food items on sale. Staffing the shop continued to be an issue during busy weekends when visitors were directed to the Tearoom for their purchases. This was not very efficient for those who just wanted the odd plant or post card and had to wait in line behind food orders.

The need for a part time staff member to run the shop at weekends was discussed but finance was a concern while the charity was still recovering from the impact of the pandemic. A Trustee volunteered in the shop on Sundays over the summer.

Promotion and Events:

The Walled Gardens website and social media accounts kept the public informed of opening times, things to look out for in the Garden, like the family of ducklings that made the pond their home. It is hoped to once again run a public fund-raising event, similar to the Pig Roast which has been much missed by the students.

FINANCIAL REVIEW

Funding

Pembrokeshire Mencap continues to seek ways of diversifying its income to strengthen its funding mix which includes a day opportunities contract with the local authority, service level agreements and fundraising activities. The charity was fortunate to receive a number of bequests from local families and some anonymous donations. All are very gratefully received.

Trustees are grateful to the Rotary Club of Pembroke for once again including Pembrokeshire Mencap as a beneficiary of their annual raffle. Students sold a considerable amount of tickets and several 'Mencap' tickets were winners.

The Walled Garden provided a very picturesque venue for a wedding and two outdoor theatre performances in summer 2022. This after-hours rental provided additional income for the charity.

Later in the summer, Andrew Grey, a long-time supporter, raised money for Pembrokeshire Mencap by swimming eight miles 'across the bay' from Solva to Little Haven. His kind donation was gratefully received at a presentation made to Trustees at the Walled Garden in December.

As previously mentioned, funding from the Hywel Davies bequest supported a rest area in the Sensory Garden, a Workshop and establishing the Stackpole Walled Garden Vineyard.

Quotes for replacement of the Lodge Park entrance gates were obtained. The gates need to be good quality in order to last, so this is a priority for the coming year.

Replacing the mini-bus and restoring the historic glass houses remain long term aims. An irrigation system has also been discussed bearing in mind climate change.

Reserves policy

In accordance with National Mencap Policy the Society has a Finance Procedure, copies of which are available from the Treasurer. The Society aims to keep a minimum level of reserve, which would run the Society's activities for about 6 months in the event of all sources of external funding drying up. It is the Society's policy that this reserve is invested in a savings account and that speculative investment should be avoided. In the past this reserve has been held in a High Interest Bond, but the current financial climate is such, that interest rates do not warrant placing money in such accounts. The current level of free reserves amounts to £175,540 whereas 6 months expenditure amounts to approximately £157,946.

STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT

Governing document

The Society is controlled by its Memorandum and Articles of Association adopted at a Special General Meeting held on 29th November 2008, registered by Company House on 10th December 2008 and approved by the Charity Commission on 2nd April 2009.

Pembrokeshire Mencap Ltd is affiliated to The Royal Mencap Society but is financially a self-contained body fulfilling the objectives of our constitution. The original affiliation agreement ended in March 2013 and was replaced by a Partnership Plan encouraging more collaboration between local groups and the Royal Mencap Society and Mencap Cymru in Wales.

The core purpose is horticultural training for Pembrokeshire adults with learning disabilities. Training, work experience and personal development are provided at Stackpole Walled Gardens, a six-acre site, five miles south of Pembroke.

STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT

Trustees

In accordance with the constitution, members of the executive are elected annually and all executive members are elected as Trustees of the Charity. Trustees holding office during the year are listed below. Best wishes are extended to Sarah Berry who has undergone medical treatment over the past year.

Mr G Headley (Chairman) - appointed 10.06.15 reappointed 15.07.22 Mr A B Marmara (Vice Chairman) - appointed 10.06.15 reappointed 15.07.22 Mr I Wilshaw (Treasurer) - appointed 22.05.13 reappointed 15.07.22 Mr M Evans - appointed 15.04.09 reappointed 15.07.22 Mr D Brockway - appointed 16.06.10 reappointed 15.07.22 Mr B Griffiths - appointed 15.04.09 reappointed 15.07.22 Mrs Sarah Berry - appointed 01.06.16 reappointed 15.07.22 Mrs C W Marmara (Secretary) - appointed 22.05.13 reappointed 15.07.22

New trustees are being sought as part of the forward planning strategy. A thorough understanding of the charity's core purpose is key to the role, as is local knowledge and willingness to work in partnership with our supporters. Expressions of Interest from people with financial or communication skills, or direct experience in horticulture, are most welcome. A couple of enquiries are being followed up.

STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT

Organisational structure

Trustees have continued to be directly responsible for the running of Stackpole Walled Gardens which encompasses staff welfare and the charity's future.

Annual development reviews took place with staff, as well as more informal weekly meetings with the Garden Manager, Debbie Drewett. Staff also met with Trustees on occasion - for example in connection with new projects, including the Walled Garden Vineyard and the Citizen's Curators oral history project.

The Garden Manager recruited seasonal staff for the Tearoom and Trustees were involved in interviewing where appropriate. Staff continued to take Lateral Flow Tests with intermittent Covid cases being identified which had an impact on staffing levels.

Trustee meetings included strategic forward planning both in terms of practical changes to the garden related to the Vineyard project, for example, as well as ensuring sufficient balance of staff between tutoring, gardening and bus duties.

The Treasurer's plan for a phased retirement was assisted with use of QuickBooks software, overseen by the Garden Manager, with support from Trustees. Finances were monitored, enabling easy comparison of income with previous years.

The Agenda for meetings included:

A representative of the National Trust attended as a co-opted member of the management committee, as did County Councillor Simon Hancock.

Risk management

The Trustees have a duty to identify and review the risks to which the charity is exposed and to ensure appropriate controls are in place to provide reasonable assurance against fraud and error.

Managing staff and student welfare in the aftermath of the Covid 19 pandemic was still a consideration in this past year. Staff numbers fluctuated on times due to infection. Student numbers were reduced, with one or two still being vulnerable to infection while others had lost confidence in everyday activities like travelling by bus.

Data Protection rules continued to be adhered to in line with the GDPR legislation.

The Business Plan is a robust working document projecting development to 2023 so a review is now due.

STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT Thanks

In the light of another challenging year when the aftermath of Covid still made an impact in terms of reduced student numbers and ever-increasing costs made the balance between Tearoom takings and staff wages a delicate one. It also affected menu prices which was common in all hospitality venues.

The Trustees wish to record their appreciation to all staff members for carrying out the Charity's work so effectively, always ensuring the wellbeing of the participants is the number one priority.

An annual programme of meaningful tasks is designed for participants with a range of learning disabilities, ensuring completion of their accredited course work on time. Staff are also responsible for safeguarding; ensuring that participants enjoy their time at Stackpole and feel their opinions count, in line with a person-centred approach.

Special thanks to Debbie Drewett, the Manager of Stackpole Walled Gardens, who oversees a wide remit with skill. The charity benefits from her knowledge and experience which is much appreciated by trustees.

It is pleasing to report an increase in volunteer numbers; some who bring a particular skill or interest to the Garden while others carry out practical tasks like mowing, on a regular basis. This releases the gardeners to spend more time with the students. The Trustees wish to record their appreciation - a big 'Thank You' to all the volunteers.

Final thanks go to our students. Interviews carried out for the Citizen Curator oral history project has revealed the enjoyment and satisfaction that they experience during their time at the Garden. Some have attended for many years and being interviewed has prompted reflection on pride in a good job done. Encouraging them to express their opinions was certainly worthwhile. An exhibition about the oral history project, featuring excerpts from recordings will take place later in 2023.
