Trustees' Report For The Year Ended 30 June 2025
The trustees present their report and the financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2025.
Objectives and Activities
Aims and Objectives
The principal objectives of the charity are to relieve the needs of children, young people and families who are in need by reason of age, youth, disability, ill health, financial hardship, or social economic circumstances in such ways as the trustees shall think fit, including the provision of advice, information, education and training, mediation, counselling and support services as well as helping people meet their own needs in society.
Public Benefit
During the period the charity has supported a total of 754 beneficiaries across the regions of South and West Wales including areas such as Swansea, Neath Port-Talbot, Carmarthenshire, Pembrokeshire, Powys and Merthyr Tydfil. The trustees have paid due regard to the Charities Commission’s guidance on public benefit.
The trustees confirm that they have complied with the requirements of Section 17 of the Charities Act 2011 to have due regard to the Charity Commission’s guidance on public benefit.
Achievements and Performance
Main Achievements
The charity has concluded its tenth year of activity as a charity and has adhered to its objectives closely of supporting & working with families, individuals, children, young people and veterans & family members to provide relief in times of need, assistance and support to help them move out of poverty. We are pleased to report that during this reporting period, we continued to meet the TRUSTED CHARITY Level 1 status, a significant benchmark for the hard work, systems and processes that are embedded into the charity at all levels.
The Family Foundation has worked to develop new and more focused partnerships and working relationships with a range of organisations from voluntary sector organisations, armed forces charities, CIC’s, schools, community, statutory and business sectors during this period.
The Family Foundation has received in the past year referrals and requests for support from Armed Forces organisations, Armed Forces Liaison officers, food banks, family centres, job centres, social workers, health visitors, schools, youth officers, voluntary organisations and self-referrals from individuals. The charity continues to monitor and evaluate its work and services to try to plot the effectiveness and impact of the work it delivers to all those it engages within the community.
The Family Foundation continued to engage with 20 volunteers and provide necessary health & safety and other vital training so we could respond to the challenging needs people were facing on the ground. We trained 362 individuals using our Digital Academy and Blended Learning options to support people to volunteer, access employment or continue working. The Family Foundation supported Really Pro with training individuals who benefited from our accreditations of training they received across a range of subject areas as part of the Shared Prosperity project operating across Carmarthenshire and Pembrokeshire.
The charity continued delivering its targeted training services in rural Carmarthenshire thanks to the ongoing funding from the Brechfa Community Windfarm, delivering targeted training and support in a designated rural area of the Windfarm location in Carmarthenshire. The project officer continues to assist many individuals, families, businesses, and community groups. Based out of our outreach mobile hut this highly impactful project supported 293 project beneficiaries during the reporting period.

Main Achievements - continued
We continued to support those struggling with ongoing mental health challenges, the charity ran face-to-face and outdoor environmental sessions offering hands-on opportunities for individuals who struggle with mental health or anxiety or have complex health or additional learning needs with 28 individuals engaging in outdoor activities. The charity continued to support Armed Forces veterans and with New funding via the Armed Forces Covenant we were now able to start to support partners & spouses of serving personnel via Project RESTART that launched in September 2024. We supported 51 Partners and Spouses in Year 1. We continue to work closely with the Armed Forces Liaison officers in the regions and attend the Local Covenant Partnership boards. We are working toward our GOLD award via the Employers recognition scheme.
The charity delivered a range of Community Support Services via delivering focused projects providing skills sessions, accredited training, community workshops and mentoring sessions. These have all been with the aim of improving confidence, employment chances, reduction in skills gaps, and improving emotional and physical well-being and social skills. The charity has used the arts, environment, and other avenues to achieve these outcomes.
Activities to support the communities we serve have included:
•Brechfa Community Windfarm Funded Carmarthenshire Specific AOB Project – Training and support offered to individuals, families, businesses, and community groups.
-
•Digital Academy project – Training, CV & Job Search Support for individuals Pan Wales.
-
•Armed Forces – Veterans & Partner & Spouses Support Programmes
•Environmental & Creative Arts Learning Sessions
-
•Outdoor Education Sessions for individuals & families
-
•Information, support & advice services to individuals & community groups
The charity delivered a range of Family Support Services by working in partnership with armed forces organisations, community groups and other voluntary sector organisations aimed at supporting families to overcome difficulties whether they are social, economic, emotional or learning barriers. Helping vulnerable families who feel isolated has been a priority and will continue to be a focus for the charity through the coming years.
Activities to support families which have included:
•Community Skills – Digital Skills Academy online free courses & Defibrillator Awareness Training.
•Family & Individual Activity Workshops & Sessions
The charity has a long history of supporting families with focused support from referrals to outdoor learning sessions to access to skills and qualifications to help families to reduce barriers to learning, social isolation and to support people to move out of poverty and improve the lives for themselves and their families. The charity continues to run the Community Skills Giving initiative offering small-scale resourcing for volunteers to access funded training, placement opportunities, PPE and project resources or materials where possible to enable community volunteering.
Financial Review
Going Concern
After making appropriate enquiries, the trustees have a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. The charity has received income from bodies such as the Armed Forces Covenant to start a new Armed Forces Partner & Spouses support project for an additional year to conclude Aug 2026, Brechfa Windfarm Grant continues for the next 2 years for a ringfenced project. Additional income came from Really Pro and other community groups or charities buying in our volunteer and community training packages during the past year in return for services rendered using their own funding.
