This review looks at what we achieved and the outcomes of our work in the previous 12 months. The review looks at the success of each key activity and the benefits they have brought to Gypsy & Traveller communities. The review also helps us to ensure our aim, objectives and activities remained focused on our stated purposes. We refer to the Charity Commissions general guidance on public benefit when reviewing our aim and objectives and in planning our future activities. In particular the trustees consider how planned activities will contribute to the aims and objectives they have set. ## Reserves Policy The trustees continuously review their policy on free reserves, taking advice from the auditor and consulting Charity Commission guidance, and the Company continues to aim to build up its free reserves to three months’ normal operating costs, circa £50,000. As a result of Covid we have built up £96,086 [2020: £36,758] unrestricted funds, which we intend to use to employ an extra staff member and for future unfunded core costs. ## Financial Review TravellerSpace’s activities were funded by _29[th] May 1961, The Big Lottery, Children In Need, Henry Smith, Family Partnership, Moving for Change, People’s Health Trust and Tudor Trust._ Note 2 provides a breakdown of the expenditure on charitable activities from all sources. It will be noted that 74% of the funding is on staff costs. All of the funding detailed in Notes 2 and 3 supports delivery of TravellerSpace’s priorities. The principal financial management policies in force during the year include: Financial records are kept so that TravellerSpace can: Meet its legal and other obligations, e.g. Charities Act 2011, Her Majesty’s Revenue and Customs and common law. Enable the trustees to fulfil responsibilities and governance role Enable TravellerSpace to meet the contractual obligations and requirements of funders. The financial year will end on the 31[st] March each year. Accounts will be drawn up within 3 months of the end of each financial year. Prior to the start of each financial year, the trustees will approve a budgeted income and expenditure account for the following year. A report comparing actual income and expenditure with the budget is presented to the trustees at each board meeting (at least 4 times a year). The AGM will appoint an appropriately qualified auditor/examiner to audit/examine the accounts for presentation to the next AGM. The trustees will identify a treasurer in line with Charity Commission guidance. ## Structure, Governance and Management The Trustees present their report and accounts for the year ended 31st March 2021, which also comprises the Directors’ Report [Trustees report] required by the Companies Act 2006 Reference and administrative information set out on page 2 forms part of this report. The charity is also constituted as a company limited by guarantee, registered under the Companies Act and its governing document is a Memorandum and Articles of Association under company legislation. By operation of law all trustees are directors under the Companies Act 2006 and all directors are trustees under Charities legislation and have responsibilities, as such, under both company and charity legislation. All trustee appointments are confirmed by a majority vote of the Board. ## Public benefit statement In shaping the objectives for the year and planning activities, the trustees have considered the Charity Commission’s guidance on public benefit, including the guidance ‘public benefit: running a charity (PB2)’ To meet the legal requirement of ‘benefit’ - a charity’s purpose must be beneficial - any detriment or harm that results from the purpose must not outweigh the benefit To satisfy the ‘public’ aspect of ‘public benefit’ the charity’s purpose must: benefit the public in general, or a sufficient section of the public, and must not give rise to more than incidental personal benefit Based on the activities and details of TravellerSpace’s achievements in 2019/20 that follow, the Trustees consider that both requirements have been fully met ## **TravellerSpace Trustees and Staff, April 2021** ## Trustees |Helen

During this period we calculate activities and services offered by TravellerSpace have been accessed times by 1613 different people. Of these, 219 were from a Gypsy or Traveller communities and 285 were from a non-travelling background. 86 Gypsies & Travellers have been regular attendees of activities offered by the project. We also ran 4 workshops for colleges, universities and other agencies, working with 139 attendees, and trained 25 Gypsy & Traveller project users in using tablets & Mifi boxes. We responded to 482 direct requests for assistance. These were for a wide range of issues – this year noticeably, the majority of our calls were from people in crisis, and many from Gypsies & Travellers who had not previously accessed our service, or only occasionally, who now needed Food Bank vouchers, who had no gas or fuel, needed help with applying for Universal Credit where they had previously always been self-employed or easily found employment. Many of the people we worked with were distressed at needing help, as they had prided themselves on being self-sufficient. We also assisted with issues involving education, liaising with social services, signposting to other agencies, help with planning issues, help filling in forms & help with accessing online services. We prepared & distributed 181 bespoke craft packs to families during the last year, designed with the ages and interests of each child in mind. We have carried out 471 activities, including 14 site visits, 51 face-to-face family sessions, 211 virtual support sessions, 74 1-1 support sessions & 33 cookery livestreams on our Facebook group. We have distributed crisis funding to 65 individuals A year ago, we were using the Teyluva Centre to run groups such as the extremely popular Gypsy & Traveller Women’s Group, our Literacy group, youth group, cookery sessions and Safe Space drop in. Due to Covid-19, we were unable to do any of these things. Instead we provided a largely online & telephone service except for 1-1 meetings with other professionals such as midwives, for which we opened the back room of the Centre as it could be accessed through the garden In the Spring we designed and had built an outdoor shelter, and were able to welcome participants back to the Centre to our outdoor space. In order to keep staff & participants virus safe, we changed our delivery to family groups having a regular weekly slot. During their allocated slot, all activities that we had previously run in separate groups were available, including craft, cookery, literacy & short courses; these activities were adapted so they could take place outdoors. Cookery for example was a whole family preparation activity; staff then took the items indoors to cook them and brought them back out to be eaten or taken home. In bad weather we rigged up extra tarpaulins to keep the space dry. Staff wore masks & face shields when deemed necessary; we encouraged children to social distance by spray painting coloured circles on the ground for them to jump into, instead of getting too close. This worked well, as it seemed like a game (and also gave an opportunity to learn colours) In discussion with our Steering Group, we ran outdoor sessions until October half term, and then moved inside, keeping the same family groups, as this seemed to work well for everyone. We did extensive preparations for the move inside, including the purchase of a medical grade air purifier, the re arranging of the entire Centre to make everything needed accessible in the main room whilst being optimised for regular deep cleaning. Instead of our usual big Christmas party, we had parties in family groups with a virtual Santa - all the staff recorded video for individualised Christmas messages for each family using a green screen Unfortunately we have now had to close until April 12th due to the lockdown & the new virulent strain of Covid. We have gone back to online communication and 1-1 appointments only at the Centre. We distributed more craft packs for home use, as well as a tablet for each family with a MIFI box providing 6 months unlimited data (courtesy of the _Good Things Foundation_ ). This will give the project participants more opportunity to access the services they need, join in online activities and take courses if they wish to (We preloaded Learn My Way courses & other learning activities onto the tablet, such as BBC Bitesize, the Natural History Museum Online & DK Learning) ## The Teyluva Steering group The Steering group is made up entirely from community members. It used to meet monthly to share ideas, decide on which activities we run, how they are run and to feedback on any issues that need discussing. We now talk to everyone online or through voice messages when we are unable to meet in person. A community volunteer is in regular contact with all the project users to make sure their voices are heard in all the discussions about the running of the Centre. We also discuss new & potential funding, visits from funders, fundraising ideas & choosing new equipment needed The skills learnt as part of the steering group help project users gain confidence in negotiating their relationship with the world outside their immediate community and in taking part in activities in the wider community. ## St. Day Gypsy & Traveller Women’s Group Since 2004 TravellerSpace has organised a Gypsy and Traveller Women’s Group in St. Day. This lively and greatly valued drop-in group is held at Teyluva Children’s Centre and is open to any women who want to come along, mostly being attended by residents of the nearby Wheal Jewel site and their pre-school children. A wide variety of activities are on offer, including healthy cooking, art and craft, access to the internet, driving theory practice, and the opportunity to gain _ASDAN Awards_ and _Educare_ qualifications. n C(Thvral arKJ SLKth West Travellerspace yw will see sombodyln Jteail otsfttinKat home all day 11 the truth thars the onlytimey(w sees sombody ttr• thlldrth ckn WayarKI you knows there sale how lockdowft f¥e donea calÈedecor•tln9 &• rnassage covrsè•t tPwh ¥ld•o c•ll*& photas ekntyhodys QPiniTon is are I helped with a bart￿r maltlfi9 prolect at the lo￿1 school rv• 9ained 32 certiFlcate4' rve d¢)ne S•Fe9uardln Flre Safety.

The group provides a space for the women to get off site, socialise, to learn new skills and gives the young children play and learning opportunities. Other agencies including the Health Visitor, education services, Cornwall Housing’s Site Manager and staff from a range of other agencies come along to meet the women in an informal setting. It is unlikely that we can return to running such a large group indoors for the time being; our community volunteer will be discussing several options with the Steering Group to find the best way forward; we could meet outside in the good weather, stay in family groups, or come up with a different plan entirely; we want to proceed in a way that everyone feels happy & safe with. ## Teyluva Safe Space In response to the need for community members to have a safe place to go to talk to trained workers in private, our Information, Advice and Guidance (IAG) trained staff operate a Safe Space online, and if needed, at the Centre. In addition, staff from other agencies such as _Pentreath_ and _CRUSE_ use the Safe Space to deliver counselling sessions to project users who require it. ## ‘Thinking Differently’ site planning meetings Caroline has been involved in regular discussions this year with Cornwall Housing over the managing and upgrading of the Wheal Jewel site, looking at all the options including redesigning the site. Our role is to ensure that the needs and wishes of the residents are included at every stage of this process. ## The Wheal Jewel site & the local community There is substantial animosity towards the site residents from the local housed community, ramped up in particular by certain parish & county councillors. Cornwall Housing appear to be responding to the pressure and will be reducing the size of the Wheal Jewel site. We continue to challenge the views of local councillors at strategic forums, but due to Covid we have been unable to host any community events or any other initiatives which bring the community together. One of our priorities as soon as it is feasible is to lead on other new initiatives which promote community cohesion. ## Training Sessions and Workshops Within the wider community is often much misunderstanding, misinformation and wildly inaccurate ideas about who Gypsies and Travellers are, their customs, history and the issues faced. To help counter this TravellerSpace has a programme of awareness training for schools, colleges and voluntary and statutory organisations. The training can be tailored for the particular interests of the group it is for and covers history, ‘myth-busting’, barriers faced by Gypsies and Travellers to participating in wider society, challenging racism and practical suggestions for those encountering Gypsies and Travellers in their work etc. This year the training has been delivered via webinars, Teams meetings and a recorded Powerpoint. All who received training in the previous year have reported increased understanding of the issues affecting Gypsies & Travellers, and we have had many messages left at the end of workshops to tell us how valuable they found the training; in some cases completely changed their views on the Gypsy & Traveller community, with the benefit of the deeper insight afforded by the training. ## On-line This year so much of our work has taken place online. TravellerSpace has made daily use of our Facebook group to check in with project users, post livestreamed cookery sessions & storytelling recorded by staff members. We have used social media to disseminate information via video & easy read format, particularly regarding Covid safe practice. We monitor media sources on a daily basis for relevant stories, providing a news feed for the nearly six thousand members of the Gypsy, Roma & Traveller Facebook group. This group is accessed by most of the Gypsy & Traveller activists in the UK and Ireland and we are acknowledged as providing an essential service. Our social media profile has lead to our being contacted by Gypsies and Travellers in the wider UK, with requests for information & support. Where appropriate we sign post these enquiries to other more local services; during lockdown we have supported many Gypsies & Travellers in Devon, and as a result of this we are looking at expanding our service to have more of a presence there. ## Our role regarding Covid 19 We have liaised extensively with Public Health England over the appropriate dissemination of information to the Gypsy & Traveller community regarding both keeping safe & the vaccination programme for Covid-19. Our Facebook group, voice messaging & video calling has proved a useful format for much-needed myth-busting about the vaccinations, as scare mongering was rife. Rumours and false information about the vaccination meant that initially noone on the Wheal Jewel was prepared to be vaccinated. We were able to share the excellent resources made by the _Traveller Movement_ and others to help allay fears. We spoke to everyone individually about their concerns, with the result that vaccine uptake is now around 90%. We initially offered the Teyluva Centre for a vaccination venue for site residents, but it now seems that this will not be necessary. However, we have offered to contact roadside Travellers if Public Health deem it necessary, & offer the use of the Centre for a vaccination programme for those who may not be registered with a GP ## Networking and Partnerships We have had formal and informal partnerships more than 30 agencies during the past year, including BF Adventure Friends, Families and Travellers Truro Food Bank Camborne Food Bank The Good Things Foundation Community Law Partnership Diversity Network For Cornwall Hedgucation Cornwall Council Equality & Diversity Voluntary Sector Forum Plymouth University Cornwall College Ruston Planning Sunny Days Nursery St Day & Caharrack Primary School Cornwall Health Visiting Team The People's Health Trust Embrace Dance Fitness Headstart Kernow Cornwall Family Support West Cornwall Diversity Action Network Cornwall Education Welfare Service Cornwall Housing Devon & Cornwall Police Bodmin Women’s Centre Your Way Cornwall Council Planning department Royal Cornwall Hospitals Trust Cornwall Health Visitors Cornwall Council Social Care The Book Trust CN4C Public Health England The Voluntary Sector Forum ## Forums TravellerSpace is represented at the following forums and committees. Cornwall Gypsy & Traveller Keyworker meeting Cornwall Gypsy &Traveller Forum Gypsy & Traveller Health Task & Finish Group Cornwall Housing ‘Thinking Differently’ group Teyluva Centre Steering Group West Cornwall Diversity Action Group Our involvement with these networks has enabled us to reach a wide range of organisations, allowing us to ensure Gypsy and Traveller issues are kept in sight and taken account of. ## Staff and Volunteer Development TravellerSpace’s greatest strength is in having truly dedicated and caring team of staff and volunteers. TravellerSpace staff need to be responsive, flexible and reflective of their own practice to best support the project’s users (and must have a good sense of humour!). Each session is followed by a debrief, giving staff and volunteers space to discuss any issues arising, plan for future sessions and to consider what went well and what maybe didn’t. More in depth meetings are held monthly and all staff and volunteers have access to regular supervision. Alongside mandatory training in areas such as Safeguarding and Health and Safety TravellerSpace is committed to supporting the ongoing professional development of our staff and volunteers, encouraging the uptake of training and learning opportunities when they become available. ## Progress We are delighted with the success of the Steering Group, which gives community members the opportunity to have a role in running the Centre, deciding which activities we offer and how they are delivered. The popularity of the adult steering group has led to the formation of a young people’s steering group. Both play an essential role in building confidence and self esteem in our project users, as well as giving the opportunity to learn important skills in communicating ideas to others and planning how projects can be realised. We are very pleased with the level of engagement with activities we have offered. The feedback we have gained through our community volunteer indicates how much our service is valued by community members. ## Plans for 2021 – 22 ## The Teyluva Centre We are revamping the outdoor area with the help of community volunteers and applying for funding to give the kitchen a much-needed makeover, including installing a much larger cooker with 2 ovens. Our funding from the Big Lottery has enabled us to create the long-awaited post of Centre Manager, which is split between Hazel Dann & Karen Walton, who have perfect skill sets between them for this post. When we are reopen we plan to open 5 days per week, so that community members can drop in at times when we are not running groups to get support from our IAG trained staff, access another service or get help with an issues that is affecting them. Now that we are established at the Teyluva Centre and have a full time presence in St Day, we are ideally placed to explore creative ways to break down the barriers between the local housed and Traveller community who live on our doorstep. The project seeks to address the animosity, provide activities that bring people together so that they can get to know and understand each other, thus creating community cohesion and reducing discrimination and racism.

We will continue to offer a wider range of Educare, ASDAN and other awards to Gypsies & Travellers not in education or training and to support and encourage other agencies to engage with our project users, so that they can access a range of opportunities in the wider community ## Training TravellerSpace continues to offer training for service providers, schools and the wider community. It is essential to raise awareness of issues affecting Travelling people to counter prejudice & discrimination, and to improve the way that essential services are delivered. ## Volunteering We recognise that TravellerSpace relies heavily on volunteers to enable us to offer the much-needed one to one support to the children and young people we work with. We offer training and expenses to our highly valued volunteers, so that their hard work is rewarded with opportunities for personal development, training and experience, increasing both their value to TravellerSpace and their employability. ## Trustees' responsibilities The trustees (who are also directors of TravellerSpace for the purposes of company law) are responsible for preparing the Trustees’ Annual Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice). Company law requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year, which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charitable company and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including the income and expenditure, of the charitable company for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the trustees are required to: select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently; observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP 2015 (FRS 102); make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; state whether appllcabl8 UK Accounting Standards have been followed, subject to any materlal departures disclosed and explained in the finonclal statements,. prepare the financlal statements on the golng concem basis unless It Is Inapproprlate to presume Ihat the charttable company will contlnue in operation. The trustees are responsible for keeplng adequate accountlng records that dlsclose with reasonable accuracy at any tlme the financial posltlon of the chailtable company and enable them to ensure that the flnanclal statements comply wlth the Companles Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguardSng the assets of the charitable company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the preventhon and detection of fraud and other irregularities. In so far as the trustees are aware.. there is no relevant informatlon of which the charltable company's independent examiner is unaware; and the trustees have taken all steps that they ought to have taken to make themselves aware of any relevant information and to establish that the independent examiner Is aware of that informatlon.
