Volunteers have played an invaluable role during this period as we reintroduced community provision. Volunteers also supported our online delivery during the period whilst also supporting community engagement events. We greatly value the contribution made by our volunteers and will seek to enhance opportunities over the course of 2023/24 as our service develops. Page 1 Valleys Steps Limited for the Year Ended 31 March 2023 ## Report of the Trustees ## **STRATEGIC REPORT Achievement and performance Charitable activities** 2022/23 was the first year where a full programme of face-to-face course was delivered following removal of restrictions relating to Covid 19. Consultation with those who used our service showed a strong demand for face-to-face provision as requests for a continuation of an online programme. The organization commenced a hybrid model of delivery reflective of these demands. During the period we delivered # 436 online workshops # 9 face to face workshops as pilots ahead of full six-week courses # 28 face to face six-week courses across Cwm Taf Morgannwg ## Reach and Impact – # 3582 people attended our courses. # 84.6% of people rated our courses as good or excellent. # 95% of people rated the accessibility of our service as high. # 89.2% reported high levels of confidence that they would make use of the knowledge and skills gained from attending our courses. # Our web resources saw 21,704 users. # The Warwick Edinburgh Mental Wellbeing Scale evaluation tool showed people reporting improved wellbeing. In addition to delivery of our primary contract with Cwm Taf Morgannwg 2022/23 saw us continue to enhance and add value to our provision. This included - # Continued delivery of two psychoeducational programmes on behalf Primary Care Mental Health services. This has served to free up clinical staff in response to increased levels of need in the community. # Delivery of mindfulness programmes to residents of Aneurin Bevan University Health Board. Expansion of our resilience and mindfulness programmes in Schools and local Further Education colleges. Work with employers to improve wellbeing in the workplace including Academic Institutions, Local Authorities and private sector organisations Page 2 Valleys Steps Limited Report of the Trustees for the Year Ended 31 March 2023 ## **STRATEGIC REPORT Financial review** ## **Financial position** The continued expansion of our service offer to include support to students and young people, our work supporting Primary Care Services as well as our work with employers promoting workplace wellbeing has seen us continue to diversify our income streams. Of particular note is the successful outcome of negotiations with WCVA which resulted in an agreement in March 2023 to write off the £400k loan in exchange for a one-off payment of £20k and an undertaking to name WCVA in the asset lock in our articles of association. This has resulted in an increase in our overall reported level of income compared to the previous year with a resultant operational surplus of £421k and net assets of £268k. ## **Principal funding sources** Our Principal funding sources for the year comprised of - # The net £380k write-off of the WCVA loan which has been treated for accounting purposes as a grant # An SLA with Cwm Taf Morgannwg University Health Board supporting our core delivery. # Intermediate Care Fund supporting our Student Wellbeing Service # An SLA with Bridgend College, Cardiff and Vale College, Coleg y Cymoedd, St David's Catholic 6th form College and The College Merthyr Tydfil. # Commissioning arrangements with Merthyr and Taf Ely Primary Care Clusters # Ongoing funding arrangements with Aneurin Bevan University Health Board ## **Reserves policy** The Trustees have reviewed the reserves policy, in accordance with Charity Commission guidelines. The year has seen a continued improvement in the charity's reserves position, supporting the ongoing sustainability and financial viability of the organisation. The organisation's position on reserves is the maintenance of 3 months operational costs in the event of needing to wind down the organisation with any remaining reserve set aside for organisational development of investment in new service delivery as a means to secure new income. Investment in organisational development or service delivery will be informed by full consultation with staff and stakeholders. ## **Financial and risk management objectives and policies** The trustees have considered the major risks to which the Charity is exposed, have reviewed these risks and have established systems and procedures to manage them. The key risks are delivering the terms of the SLA with the Cwm Taf Morgannwg Health Board, securing adequate funding to continue to provide the innovative service and promoting the service with potential service users. ## **Future Plans** The continued expansion of our service offer to include support to students and young people, our work supporting Primary Care Services as well as our work with employers promoting workplace wellbeing has seen us diversify our income streams. The continued development of our service offer will form a key part of organisational strategy moving forward. This will include # Seeking longer term funding following successful piloting of our work with students and young people. # Seeking to broaden our geographical reach and access to new funding streams. # Continuing to engage with key stakeholders in statutory and third sectors in identifying need and developing new services as a means to further diversify our income streams and service offer. .
