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. TravellerSpace is committed to a trauma informed approach to working with project users ## **TravellerSpace Committee** Chair: Deborah Fox Treasurer: Emma Joyce Secretary: Jenifer McFadden Trustees: Sally Bowers, Kayleigh Fleming Steph James, Oliver Trafford, Natasha Chant Signatories: Deborah Fox & Emma Joyce ## **Staff** Managing Director: Caroline Dann Operations Manager: Karen Walton ## **Cornwall** Senior Support Worker: Vanessa Boase Youth Support Worker: Lorna Lambert Family Support Worker: Sophie Belcher Youth Support Worker: Matt Smith Early Years Support Worker: Lizzie Chambers Sessional Support Workers: Saffy English & Jessica Chappell ## **Devon** Senior Support Worker: Angie Whitehead Support Workers: Jasmin Whitehead; Liz Watkins; Sarah Cate & Charlotte Small Playbus Support Worker: Rachel Shacklock ## **Volunteers** Angel Lee; Lucky Lee; Berth Skuse & George Dunscombe ## **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 £60,000. ## **Financial Review** TravellerSpace’s activities were funded by The Big Lottery, Children In Need, Lloyds Foundation, The People’s Health Trust & ESF 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 2024, 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 2023/24 that follow, the Trustees consider that both requirements have been fully met. TravellerSpace are also greatly assisted by a number of volunteers and students on placements and by the involvement of the Trustees in the day to day activities of the charity; their support is invaluable to us. The Teyluva Centre is open five days a week. Since the pandemic we have split the women’s group into smaller family sessions, which has worked well. We currently have a contract with Cornwall Housing to provide support to residents and people can drop, in at any time for help with forms, benefit applications, repairs and so on. Site residents are involved with the day to day running of the centre, providing opportunities to learn many new skills. ## **Report from the Chair 2024** I am delighted that so many Gypsies & Travellers have directly benefitted from accessing the project this year, and that the Devon project continues to grow from strength to strength The collaborative arts projects have produced stunning results which everyone involved should be proud of, and the photos from the community run Open Days are truly inspiring and creative So I will take this opportunity to say thank you and well done to everyone, may we continue to build on our previous successes Zoe Fox Chair April 2024 This report is for the year from April 2023 to March 2024. During this period we calculate activities and services offered by TravellerSpace have been accessed 5250 times by 1121 different people. ## **The Cornwall Gypsy & Traveller Accommodation Needs Assessment** This year we were commissioned by Cornwall Council to undertake the fieldwork for the assessment, which generally happens every 10 years. This year was a much bigger undertaking, as for the first time we were asked to carry out interviews with the ever growing van dweller population. The Council also asked us to seek out any Gypsies & Travellers who appeared on their records as having applied for planning permission at any time in Cornwall. This was a very lengthy process and not for the faint hearted, as in some cases our interviewers only had a postcode to go on, and sometimes not even a postcode, just a description. Our interviewers, all recruited from the local Gypsy & Traveller population, didn’t know if they were looking for a fully developed caravan site, a van in a field, or an empty field, but quickly became skilled in identifying potential sites, some which had fallen into disuse. We carried out 270 Interviews in total. The report will be produced by ORS in the coming months. ## **The Teyluva Centre** ## **Family Groups** Family groups now have a regular weekly slot. During their allocated slot, all activities that we had previously run in separate groups are available, including craft, cookery, literacy & short courses. We have run 303 Family Sessions attended by 115 people We actually found that the smaller family groups work much better for everyone, as there is more time to give individual attention to those who need it, and the staff can spend time properly listening and responding, which didn’t happen so much in the larger groups such as the extremely popular Gypsy & Traveller Women’s group due to the large numbers. The women’s group now takes place monthly. Having discussed the issue with the Steering Group, we all agreed, and everyone is happy to continue in family groups with the occasional larger gathering. Young people can choose to attend a different family session if they wish to be with friends. The family groups and the other activities we run continue to provide 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. ## **The Gypsy & Traveller Youth Group** The group continues to be popular, providing a safe space for young people during the day to get away from site, explore their creativity and have someone to chat to if needed. This year young people have enjoyed days at BF Adventure, taking part in climbing and team building activities as well as craft sessions with RJ Working Our continued partnership with both Plymouth Argyle and Action For Children has meant young people have been able to enjoy football and boxing sessions This year we have run 47 Youth Group sessions attended by 81 young people Our very popular **Short Courses Group** gives people access to the internet, driving theory practice, and the opportunity to gain _ASDAN Awards_ and Educare qualifications in a quieter setting; this is also popular with young people not in education. This year we have run 45 groups attended by 74 young people & adults ## **ArtsLab Workshops** Artslab, a project delivered by Headstart Kernow, Feast & Arts Well, came back to work on a 2[nd] project to work with young people from the community. The aim of this programme was to address the mental and emotional health needs of young people, with particular attention to the impact of the pandemic, and to connect them to their local communities, giving them visibility and an outlet for selfexpression. This time the workshops focussed on making a decorative panel for the outside of the building ## **TravellerSpace Devon** The Devon Team has so far worked with 256 people who are new to our project This uncovered such a breadth of need and potential new projects in Devon that we decided to extend our reach; we also realised that there was no one better placed, experienced & qualified than Angi herself; we were delighted that she agreed to take the part time post of Senior Support Worker. We are sorry to say goodbye to Hazel Dann this year, and thank her for all her hard work in helping establish the project and supporting new staff. We are also saying ‘au revoir’ to Jasmine Whitehead, who is starting her maternity leave, and we wish her luck for the future, we will miss you Jasmine! We are delighted to welcome Liz Watkins, Sarah Cate, Charlotte Small and Rachel Shacklock to the team; with their varied skills and extensive lived experience we are very lucky to have them all in post. Devon staff have lost no time in engaging with other service providers locally to give the project users greater access to a wider range of services; a partnership with the Traveller-run FLOW Mental Health, which provides accessible psychotherapy tailored specifically for individuals from Gypsy, Roma, Traveller, Boater, NFA, and Off-grid communities. Their therapy team consists of seasoned clinicians who bring a deep understanding of these unique lifestyles, either through personal experience or extensive training. FLOW Mental Health offer a range of evidence-based interventions, including EMDR, DBT, CBT, and counselling, designed to address diverse mental health needs effectively. We also work in partnership with Real Life Psychology, a not for profit social enterprise offering community psychology projects in the south west. Following an initial pilot project funded by Devon Partnership Trust (NHS) at the community’s request, Real Life Psychology is looking to facilitate group therapy sessions codesigned by the community. Many of the site residents attended, a high percentage being male. As GRT males are most disproportionally affected by negative mental health outcomes and have the highest suicide rate of any other ethnic minority, this project is literally a lifeline. The men have identified they need tailored support facilitated by a trained professional and are open and positive about the project. They would like to focus on and discuss issues around trauma, suicide, and mental health difficulties. The team are also working closely with Traveller Education in Devon and a range of other agencies to ensure families can access support they need. We secured funding from Devon Community Fund to pay for 2 fantastic community days on 2 different sites in Devon this year. Both days were entirely planned and carried out by community members, who ran a variety of workshops and made food on the open fire for everyone (see photos) ## **The Playbus** The TravellerSpace Playbus now has a new home in Devon, and is diligently looked after by community member and new staff member Rachel Shacklock, who has lost no time in engaging with isolated families and running very carefully prepared, engaging and creative activities for children to get absorbed in. **Requests for support** This year TravellerSpace responded to 1114 direct requests for assistance. These were for a wide range of issues including: crisis funding, food vouchers, education, training, information, liaising with social services, signposting to other agencies, help with planning issues, assistance with IT and help filling in forms. We have distributed £9,471 in crisis funds this year ## **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 IAG trained staff operate a Safe Space 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. We operate the Safe Space 5 days per week both in person and online, accessed by 441 people. ## **The Teyluva Steering group** The Steering group is made up entirely from community members, which meets monthly to share ideas, decide on which activities we run, how they are run and to feedback on any issues that need discussing; we also talk to everyone online or through voice messages when we are unable to meet in person; our 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. ## **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 they face. 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. The training has been delivered in person, via Teams meetings and webinars 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** We have continued to use our online Facebook group & virtual staff member on a daily basis for project users to be able to contact us easily & quickly, make appointments, ask question, check whether they have a meeting etc. This worked so well during lockdown that we have continued to use it 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. ## **Networking and Partnerships** We have had formal and informal partnerships more than 40 agencies during the past year, including: ## **Cornwall** BF Adventure Friends, Families and Travellers Truro Food Bank Camborne Food Bank Plymouth Argyle Action for Children RJ Working Community Law Partnership Diversity Network For Cornwall Hedgucation WILD Young Parents Cornwall Council Equality & Diversity Voluntary Sector Forum Cornwall College Ruston Planning Sunny Days Nursery St Day & Caharrack Primary School Cornwall Health Visiting Team The People's Health Trust Headstart Kernow Cornwall Family Support Cornwall Education Welfare Service Cornwall Housing Devon & Cornwall Police Bodmin Women’s Centre Your Way The Oak Project Cornwall Council Planning department Cornwall Health Visitors Cornwall Council Social Care Public Health England The Voluntary Sector Forum **Devon** Plymouth University Teign Housing Exeter Foodbank Okehampton Foodbank Newton Abbot Foodbank Elim Housing Devon Homechoice Early Help Hub Devon Stepping Stones Torlands School Pinhoe Primary ASSIST FLOW Mental Health Christians Against Poverty Pete’s Dragon Devon Carers ## **Forums** TravellerSpace is represented at the following forums and committees. Cornwall Gypsy & Traveller Keyworker meeting Cornwall Gypsy & Traveller Forum Gypsy & Traveller Health Forum Cornwall Housing ‘Thinking Differently’ group Children’s and Families Alliance Meeting Teyluva Centre Steering Group Devon Peninsula Gypsy & Traveller Forum The Oak Project ## **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. This plays 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. It has become apparent just how valued the services we provide are, with regular attendance and people even coming back to Cornwall when off travelling so as not to miss events and activities. ## **Plans for 2024-25** ## **Our Work in Devon** The development grant comes to an end in June, and the findings show a clear need to expand the project. 3 year funding from the Lottery has been applied for, and there are plans to launch a Gypsy Women’s Group in Newton Abbot. We have been approached by South Hams District Council who would like us to set up and run a Gypsy & Traveller Forum, with a view to developing a new site in the area. They would also like us to be involved in the next GTAA for the area. ## **The Teyluva Centre** We have negotiated a new lease for up to 25 years. Our intention is to build on the work we’ve done in the Cornwall GTAA to extend our services to provide more support for the van dwelling community who have nowhere safe to live. Partnerships – Increasing our partnership work benefits our project users greatly, as we can be part of providing a more effective support package where needed. The Centre is increasingly used for meetings with Social Care and contact meetings with estranged parents; we are a service which is trusted by community members that we will do our best for them and advocate on their behalf where needed Capacity building - TravellerSpace will build on the success of our work in offering a wide range of ASDAN and other awards to Gypsies & Travellers not in education or training. We will support and encourage other agencies to engage with our project users, so that they can access a range of opportunities in the wider community, improve their education & ultimately their employment opportunities ## **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 wish to 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 applicable UK Accounting Standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charitable company will continue in operation. The trustees are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charitable company and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charitable company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities. In so far as the trustees are aware: there is no relevant information of which the charitable 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 information.
