TAVS
Annual Report
(April '23- March '241
At the Tavs Centre. we have continued to Serve some of the most vulnerable in Cardiff, aiming to engage,
support, and empowerour community through providing safety, community, and opportunity.
A team of around 40 volunteers have allowed us to continue to run our regular food-based activities, as
well as work with placement students and grants allowing us to offer more wellbeing-based attivity. In
total around 3150 hours of volunteer time wa5 given to the project.
Actlvities:
Food Co-op
The Tavs Food Co-op continued to operate twice a week, with our membership price increasing to £3 a
week following consultation with the members, in response to rising food Pri￿5. This, in addition to
grants from Community Foundation Wales and Cardiff Council, allowed us to ¢ontinue to supply members
with a wide range of groceries, including fresh produce. We continued to open our upstairs social space.
providing light refre5hment5 and the opportunity for connection whilst waiting. This has been really
fruitful in building community. On average. we were serving up to 70 people per week from a wide range
of backgrounds. typically a combination of people who are homeless, vulnerably housed. refugees and
asylum seeker5. and those on low income or long-term unemployed. We a150 saw an increase in
international students looking to become members.
Burger evenlng
Free hot food is served every Sunday evening (burgers and fish finger rolls) to anyone who would like.
Predominantly, the demographlc is the homeless and vulnerably housed who continue to welcome the
food and the conversation offered. Towards the end of the year we have seen rislng numbers, some
weeks reaching 70-80 people (combined inside and tskeawayl. This is the upper limit of our capacity and
with limited space and volunteers we are looking into ways to continue to support people. but in a way
that encourages connection and community and within our capacity.
Winter well-being warm space
Through a 'warm spaces, Erant. and the tlme of an OT student completing their placement we were able
to open Tavs as a drop-in each Thursday over the winter months. This was a space for the community to
come and be warm. have a hot drink, and access our laundry arbd shower facilities. We also offered well-
beingi craft activities to encourage engagement and conver56tion.
International Cooklng Club
We piloted a small cooking club, encouraging community members to attend and share recipes from
home. Each week we met to make lunch and eat together. The club was enjoyed by those who attended
but numbers were low and the club would be difficult to maintain without the support of placement
students. It Is worth revislting when resoLArces allow.

Students
We were able to provide placement opportunitie5 to two Students lone Occupational Therapy, one
Coun5elling and Therapeutic Practice51. The students were a great addition to the Tav5 community.
reliably adding a friendly face and listening ear to our activities and encouraging community rnembers to
dig deeper in conversation.
Community Member Volunteers
We continue to support community members in volunteering opportunities at Tavs. We have had 5
different community member volunteers at points over the past 12 months who have felt a 5en5e of
purpose and belonglng through the volunteer opportunity. They each bring an enthusiasm and life
experience that enrlches the Tavs community.
Staff
Long-term Community Worker Nkini Pulei stepped down from the role in the summer and Hannah
Westwell wa5 appointed in the position.

Over the last year The Junrtion ha5 continued to offer one-to-one bereavement support or counselling to
those with a range of difficulties related to pregnancy, including those who have experienced perinatsl
loss, such as miscarriage. ertopic pregnancy, 5tillbirth and neonatal losses, as well as other pregnancv
complications, such as traumatic birth, fertility difficulties. multiple105ses, post-termination support and
anxiety during the pregnancy after a loss. Clients are offered up to 10 appointments, although for more
complex needs we may be involved much longer. for example. supporting those who are pregnant
throughout their pregnancy. We see clients in the Wellbeing Space at Glenwood Church Centre, provlding
a safe and comfortable therapeutic environment, or online via zoom, depending on what best suits the
clients. We see mostly individuals, but also at times couples attend together to support them in
processing their experience together. The team delivering support is a mixture of bereavement
volunteer5 and placement trainee5 working towards qualifications in counselling or courbselling
Psychology. Our centre manager is a qualified coun5elling psycholoElSt who has supported clients
alongside offering training, Supervision and sUPPOrt to our trainees and other centres.

The tralnee placement5 that we are able to offer, continues to mean that as an organi5ation not only are
we able to meet the needs of clients through a greater team if volunteers committed to providing an
excellent service, but are also able to involved in the education and training of those workin8 towards
qualifications and support other centres providing similar seryices with CPD opportunities.
Clients
During the year 2023 124 we received 99 referrals for support,13 27% increase from last yearl for the
many reasons mentioned above. Although focused on pregnancy related distress. the main reasons for
referral are often accompanied by other mental health difficulties. such as anxiety and depre55ion. with
increasing referrals from NHS mental health teams. We offered 463 appolntments lan 18% increase from
previous yearl to clients during the year, supporting clients with the emotional impart of their pregnancv
or105s experiences. On average clients waited between 92 days for an appointment from first contatt,
however, we prioritlse those who are currently pregnant in order to ensure support Is provided during
the vulnerable antenatal period. Although the majority of clients are women. we are increasingly seeing
couple5 attending together to support each other during their fertility journey and in this year offered 19
appointments to couples.
The Team
The staff team consists of a centre manager. a coun5elling psychologist, who is paid for 7.5 hours per
week and a further 7.5 hours a week paid role for a trainee counselling p5ychologi5t, who supports this
role with administrative ta5k5, applying for grant funding and managing the waiting list alongside clinical
work with client5. Alongside these paid roles we have a small team of volunteer5 who are trained to offer
bereavement support and a number of trainee volunteer placements. Our current centre manager is
counselling psychologist who as well as Carrying her own clinical caseload has focused on developin8
training and supervising placements. Our ongoing relationships with the Dottorate in Counselling
Psychology programs at both the University of South Wales and the University of the West of England,
Bristol, and the Integrative Counselling Diploma at USW. has enabled us to continue to provide
placement opportunities, where trainees are gaining clinical expertise and therapeutic training through
their university courses, whilst we provide training on the specific needs of our clients, including models
of grief and how these Can be applied to work around pregnancy loss. In additlon to student placements,
we have two bereavement volunteers, who have undergone training in counselling skills and
bereavement support specifically in the context of pregnancy1055. All members of the team are provided
with regular supervision to ensure ethical and reflective practice with clients. Our centre manager was
