REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021

TRUSTEES REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021

The trustees present their report along with the financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2021. This report has been prepared in accordance with the Section 419(2) of the Companies Act 2006. The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies on page 15 and comply with the Charity's constitution and applicable law.

STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT

CONSTITUTION AND OBJECTS

The original constitution of Interlink was adopted on 23 January 1997 amended by special resolution on 26 March 1998 and further amended at a special General Meeting on 20 September 2001, and is a registered charity. The objects of the Charity are the promotion of any charitable purpose for the benefit of the community in the County Borough of Rhondda Cynon Taf and surrounding area as defined in the Local Government (Wales) Act 1994. Following a special resolution at the Annual General Meeting on the 1st December 2010, the charity adopted new memorandum and articles and became incorporated as a Company Limited by Guarantee on the 2nd March 2011. The new charity was registered with the Charity Commission on the 4th April 2011.

Interlink believes improving wellbeing requires the active and meaningful involvement of individuals, communities and organisations working together. It requires building relationships based on trust, equality, respect and understanding. It means investing in and working with the community to build their capacity, making full use of the existing strengths - the people, the connections, the buildings, the local environment, available in all communities. The meaningful involvement of individuals, communities and organisations working together, using the existing economic, social, environmental and cultural assets available in all communities is the only long-term solution to reducing inequality, addressing poverty and improving wellbeing.

TRUSTEES

The trustees in office during the period and at the date of this report are set out on page 6. Trustees are elected for a term of three years at the Annual General Meeting by the membership and are required to sign a declaration of their eligibility to serve. Trustees have taken responsibility for monitoring the Charity's activities through the Executive Committee.

Induction and Training Procedures

All trustees are offered training in respect of trustee roles and responsibilities and are required to attend an induction session after the annual meeting that includes a skills audit. Trustees are offered a range of opportunities throughout the year to develop their knowledge and skills to effectively fulfil their role.

RISK REVIEW

The Trustees have conducted their own review of the major risks to which the charity is exposed and systems have been established to mitigate those risks. Internal risks are minimised by effective management of the Charity's activities and the implementation of budgetary and financial procedures, which are subject to at least annual review to ensure that they still meet the needs of the Charity. This was an exceptional year due to the Covid 19 pandemic. Interlink trustees had to quickly reassess the challenges it and its members face and put aside many planned projects to support local people and communities. This focused on:

Interlink's main areas of work continue to focus on:

OUR VALUES AND PRINCIPLES

PUBLIC BENEFIT

The trustees confirm they have complied with their duty in section 17(5) of the Charities Act 2011 to have due regard for public benefit. The objects for which the Charity is established are to promote any charitable purpose for the benefit of the community in the County Borough of Rhondda Cynon Taf and surrounding area.

The main focus of public benefit during the year was supporting volunteers, formal and informal community organisations providing community support and supporting individuals access support from these volunteers and groups.

ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE APRIL 2019 TO MARCH 2021

COMMUNITY SUPPORT

INTERLINK R C T

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021

The Community Advice Team were busy in the community dealing with the pandemic, supporting volunteers and new and existing formal and informal community and voluntary organisations. The variety of support provided by our Team was huge as new and existing members responded to community need, and require assistance to keep volunteers and the community safe and support. This included organising volunteers, carrying out risk assessments and handling money for shopping. Communication was essential is providing advice and information to local groups through daily bulletins.

The Team were incredibly privileged to work alongside exceptional volunteers, formal and informal community and voluntary organisations providing vital activities, facilities and services throughout Rhondda Cynon Taf.

Interlink RCT helped raise over £550,000 in grants for community and voluntary organisations mainly to support local groups provide vital community support in RCT. Key funders include Pen Y Cymoedd Wind Farm CIC, The Moondance Foundation, the Big Lottery, Comic Relief and Welsh Government.

The year saw over over 250 grants awarded directly by Interlink through grants schemes that we manage on behalf of other organisations supporting 119 community and voluntary organisations. This has resulted in supporting an incredible community response to supporting people of all ages and abilities throughout RCT. These funds include:

There was an increase in volunteering at the start of the pandemic with over 350 volunteers supported and 244 placed in local groups. The youth-led grant scheme also led to an increase in volunteering amongst young people.

Volunteer Week went on-line and there was a huge response through a 'Big Thank You' campaign with a large number of local people alongside celebrities led by Sue Perkins taking the opportunity to thank the thousands of volunteers who have helped keep people fed, safe and connected during the pandemic.

One of the largest pieces of work was our action research into the community responses to the pandemic in RCT. Over 40 groups in RCT were interviewed alongside people who were shielding and local authority staff. We has support from many partners through our Action Research Advisory Group and captured 3 filmed case studies. The year ahead will involve looking at working with partners to take forward opportunities identified from the research.

Interlink was also pleased to continue to be involved as grant recipient body for the Invest Local programme, employing a Community Development worker to support the Penywaun Invest Local Group. This helped the community in Penywaun come together to support the local community during the pandemic.

Interlink worked in partnership with Penycymoedd Windfarm Community Fund CIC to support community and voluntary groups apply to the Fund, working across the Fund area with Neath Port Talbot County Voluntary Service.

Training, Network and Events

We moved to on-line events which were hugely successful and included Communities for Change 'Learning from and Looking beyond Covid 19' (as part of Interlink's AGM), Tackling the Digital Divide and Loneliness and Isolation 'Learning form Covid 19' in partnership with Voluntary Action Merthyr Tydfil.

We held a wide range of successful network events and networks including the Cwm Taf Mental Health Forum, the RCT Local Community Partnership Steering Group and Children, Young People and Families, Managing Volunteers and Accessing the Outdoors Networks.

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021

ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE HEALTH AND WELLBEING

The Wellbeing Team reconfigured their delivery in response to the pandemic, they were removed from GP practices and Social Care Single Point of Access to work from home successfully supporting individuals via the telephone. Referrals into the service increased, many individuals requiring support with foodbank vouchers, mental health issues and isolation and loneliness. Each member of the team were aligned with the Community Resilience Hubs and were the point of access from the Covid-19 helpline. The team were kept busy researching opportunities and support services as most of the existing provision had repurposed their delivery to respond to Covid-19. Communication was an essential part of the service with information and advice being provided via information bulletins. The service is funded via the Transformation Fund and the Integrated Care Fund (ICF).

Befriending Services- continued to be supported via ICF funding of £150,000 however, service delivery repurposed to on-line provision alongside the delivery of food, essential and activity packs. Services provided vital links for people addressing the impact of isolation during lockdown.

Community Capacity Grant Scheme- we were able to provide small grants on behalf of CTMRPB with 13 projects offering services to older people, Carers and learning disability.

Grants for Older People - a range of projects to support older people and tackle loneliness and isolation included four organisations delivering larger projects through a medium sized grant as a result of receiving £100,000 from the Integrated Care Fund.

Grants for Children and Young People - £100,000 was secured from the Integrated Care Fund to support a range of ground breaking projects to address the emotional and mental wellbeing of children and young people, with 2 organisations receiving a medium sized grant and a further 6 receiving a smaller grant.

Dementia Grant Scheme - 10 projects were helped to provide essential accessible services and activities to people living with dementia and their Carers through £45,000 from the Integrated Care Fund. Delivery was altered to online in response to the pandemic.

BeActive - Interlink has worked closely with a range of exceptional partners to deliver a national action research and activity programme under the Welsh Government Healthy and Active Programme. This period covers year two of a three year programme and provides a wide range of outdoor activities to improve people's emotional, social and physical wellbeing. The programme has been successful in moving provision on-line to support people's physical and mental wellbeing through Covid 19.

Community Engagement-funding of £42,000 was secured from CTM UHB to employ a Black, Asian & Minority Ethnic Engagement Officer to work at a community level implementing a communications plan designed to increase BAME engagement with the Test Trace and Protect Service and COVID-19 information.

FINANCIAL REVIEW

Principal Funding Sources

Principal funding sources include Welsh Government, Cwm Taf Morgannwg University Health Board, the Cwm Taf Morgannwg Social Services and Wellbeing Partnership Board, Rhondda Cynon Taf County Borough Council and Pen y Cymoedd Wind Farm Community Fund CIC.

Results

Total incoming resources exceeded resources expended by £471,398. After transfers, the unrestricted funds reported a surplus of £314,689.The performance of the charity has exceeded expectations in such a difficult and uncertain economic climate. The level of available reserves, ie. the total unrestricted reserves less amounts invested in fixed assets and designated reserves amounted to £642,960.

Reserves Policy

The trustees have examined the charity's requirements for reserves in light of the main risks of the organisation using a risk assessment process and taken action to reduce the major risks faced by the charity. The trustees have built up reserves equivalent to over six months operational costs, to cover, amongst other considerations, potential redundancy costs. It was decided in the previous year to use some of the reserve to move to new more affordable office premises in Pontypridd. The reserves policy is reviewed annually by the Executive Committee and the Financial and Resources Sub Group in line with Interlink's business and financial planning process. The Executive Committee has forecasted that because of the significant challenges faced by Interlink and its members, those reserves will be used in 2020-21 to continue to provide a high level of support to member organisations

FUTURE PLANS

Strategic Plans

Interlink made the strategic decision in to further invest in place based working to build community capacity and resilience. However, Interlink made the decision in March to focus all of our resources on supporting Covid 19. The investment in IT and remote working during 2018/2019 meant Interlink were well placed to reconfigure all of its support and services to address the needs of the community and work with partners, with staff working remotely. Interlink will be central in working and support our members, including the many new Covid 19 support groups, local churches and others to support people and communities in RCT respond to Covid 19 in the year ahead.

We will support strategic planning and related actions that lead to communities benefitting from policies designed to reduce inequality, alleviate poverty and support improved wellbeing. We will continue to use the 5 ways of working - thinking long-term and on early intervention and prevention, supporting integration, collaboration with a strong focus on involving people and communities - as our framework for our work and working with others. We will continue to invest in and develop our local work under the national framework of Third Sector Support Wales under the 4 pillars of Volunteering, Good Governance, Thriving and Sustainable Third Sector and Influencing and Strategic Engagement.

Interlink will continue to focus on building community resilience, working with local community and voluntary groups to improve health and wellbeing by addressing what matters to local people and communities.

We will continue to be proactive in working regionally with Voluntary Action Merthyr Tydfil and Bridgend Association of Voluntary Organisation, working with Cwm Taf Morgannwg Social Services and Wellbeing Partnership Board to develop and deliver improved health and wellbeing services with local communities.

Our Strategic Objectives for 2020-2023

  1. To promote Community Resilience

  2. To support Covid 19 recovery

  3. Securing Investment in wellbeing

  4. To be an effective and well-governed charity

REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE MEMBERS OF INTERLINK R C T

Opinion

We have audited the financial statements of Interlink R C T (the 'charitable company') for the year ended 31 March 2021 which comprise the Statement of Financial Activities, the Balance Sheet, the Cash Flow Statement and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).

Basis for opinion

We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors' responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the charitable company in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the UK, including the FRC's Ethical Standard, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Conclusions relating to going concern

In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the trustees' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate.

Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the charitable company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.

Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the trustees with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report.

Other information

The trustees are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the Annual Report, other than the financial statements and our Report of the Independent Auditors thereon.

Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.

In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether this gives rise to a material misstatement in the financial statements themselves. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.

Opinions on other matters prescribed by the Companies Act 2006

In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of the audit:

Page 8

REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE MEMBERS OF INTERLINK R C T

Matters on which we are required to report by exception

In the light of the knowledge and understanding of the charitable company and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the Report of the Trustees.

We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters where the Companies Act 2006 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:

Responsibilities of trustees

As explained more fully in the Statement of Trustees' Responsibilities, the trustees (who are also the directors of the charitable company for the purposes of company law) are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the trustees determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the financial statements, the trustees are responsible for assessing the charitable company's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the trustees either intend to liquidate the charitable company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.

Page 9

REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE MEMBERS OF INTERLINK R C T

Our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue a Report of the Independent Auditors that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.

Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design procedures in line with our responsibilities, outlined above, to detect material misstatements in respect of irregularities, including fraud. The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below:

Extent to which the audit was considered capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud

Audit response to the risks identified

In addition to the above, our procedures to respond to risks identified included the following:

We also communicated relevant identified laws and regulations and potential fraud risks to all engagement team members and remained alert to any indications of fraud or non-compliance with laws and regulations throughout the audit.

A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the Financial Reporting Council's website at www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our Report of the Independent Auditors.

REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE MEMBERS OF INTERLINK R C T

Use of our report

This report is made solely to the charitable company's members, as a body, in accordance with Chapter 3 of Part 16 of the Companies Act 2006. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the charitable company's members those matters we are required to state to them in an auditors' report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the charitable company and the charitable company's members as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

Liabilities are recognised as expenditure as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to that expenditure, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all cost related to the category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources.

Allocation and apportionment of costs

Costs are allocated against grants they relate to. Where restricted funds have outstanding amounts which relate to core expenditure, these are transferred to core.

Tangible fixed assets

Fixed assets are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. The costs of minor additions costing below £1,000 are not capitalied.

Depreciation is provided at rates calculated to write off the cost of each asset over its expected useful life as follows:

Leasehold property Straight line over length of lease Fixtures, fittings and equipment 25% Straight line

Taxation

The charity is exempt from corporation tax on its charitable activities.

Fund accounting

Unrestricted funds can be used in accordance with the charitable objectives at the discretion of the trustees.

Restricted funds can only be used for particular restricted purposes within the objects of the charity. Restrictions arise when specified by the donor or when funds are raised for particular restricted purposes.

Further explanation of the nature and purpose of each fund is included in the notes to the financial statements.

Pension costs and other post-retirement benefits

The charitable company operates a defined contribution pension scheme. Contributions payable to the charitable company's pension scheme are charged to the Statement of Financial Activities in the period to which they relate.

1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued

Debtors

Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount due after any trade discount offered. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid net of any trade discounts due.

Cash at bank and in hand

Cash at bank and cash in hand includes cash and short term highly liquid investments with a short maturity of three months or less from the date of acquisition or opening of the deposit or similar account.

Creditors and provisions

Creditors and provisions are recognised where the charity has a present obligation resulting from a past event that will probably result in the transfer of funds to a third party and the amount due to settle the obligation can be measured or estimated reliably. Creditors and provisions are normally recognised at their settlement amount after allowing for any trade discounts due.

Donated services

In accordance with the charities SORP (FRS 102), the general volunteer time provided to the charitable company is not recognised and refer to the trustees' report for more information about their contribution.

Costs of raising funds

The costs of raising funds consist of investment management costs and certain legal fees.

Expenditure on charitable activities

Expenditure on charitable activities include grants made, governance and support costs.

Realised gains and losses

All gains and losses are taken to the statement of financial activities as they arise. Realised gains and losses on investment are calculated as the difference between sales proceeds and their opening carrying value or their purchase value if acquired subsequent to the first day of the financial year. Unrealised gains and losses are calculated as the difference between the fair value at the year end and the carrying value. Realised and unrealised investment gains and losses are combined in the statement of financial activities.

Leasing

Rentals applicable to operating leases are charged to the statement of financial activities over the period in which the cost is incurred.

Allocation of support costs

Support costs are those functions that assist the work of the charity but do not directly undertake charitable activities. Support costs include back office costs, finance, personnel, payroll and governance costs which support the activities of the charity. These costs have been allocated between cost of raising funds and expenditure on charitable activates.

Pension

The charity operates a defined contribution pension scheme for employees. The asset of the scheme are held separately from those of the charity. The annual contributions payable are charged to the statements of financial activities.

13. FIXED ASSET INVESTMENTS - continued

Investments are a form of basic financial instrument and are initially recognised at their transaction value and subsequently measured at their fair value as at the balance sheet date using the closing quoted market price. The statement of financial activities includes the net gains and losses arising on revaluation and disposals throughout the year.

The main form of financial risk faced by the charity is that of volatility in equity markets and investment markets due to wider economic conditions, the attitude of investors to investment risk, and changes in sentiment concerning equities and within particular sectors or sub-sectors.
