**THE VC GALLERY** 

## **REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES for the Year Ended 31 March 2024** 

The trustees who are also directors of the charity for the purposes of the Companies Act 2006, present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 March 2024. The trustees have adopted the provisions of Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019). 

## **OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES** 

## **Public benefit** 

The charity aims to promote social inclusion amongst people at risk of social exclusion by reason of their age, disability, ill health or financial hardship, including veterans and serving members of the armed forces by the provision of opportunities for activities and interaction with persons in the local and wider community, by the provision of workshops, recreational facilities and general support as needed. 

For the purpose of the above, 'socially excluded' means being excluded from society, or part of society, as a result of being  a member of a socially and economically deprived community. 

The charity operates in Pembrokeshire, Carmarthenshire and Ceredigion. 

## **ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE** 

## **Charitable activities** 

The charity was originally set up to help members of the armed forces and veterans cope with the issues arising from time spent in war zones. This was achieved through the medium of art as a therapeutic outlet for the anxieties that had developed due to their experiences. It soon became apparent that what was being achieved could also be extended to the wider community. 

From its humble beginnings, the charity now operates from two community hubs, a retail gallery and a community garden. 

These hubs enable the charity to be accessible to the North and South of Pembrokeshire and serve more of our community. Running workshops on site as well as exhibiting work produced by the beneficiaries, gathering donations to help fund art materials and running costs. 

The charity actively encourages members of the local community and veterans to engage with the arts. They are supported to develop their creativity through weekly workshops run by artists. Working with groups such as the elderly, disabled and people from minority backgrounds, The VC Gallery provides a safe and caring environment for individuals to be creative and express themselves.

## **ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE** 

## **Fundraising activities** 

The charity has a high profile within the community and is often featured in the local press. 

In the current year, over half of the charity's income was from awards, donations and grants, most from local organisations. 

The charity would like to thank the following for providing help in this way: Armed Forces Covenant Fund Trust Bluestone Foundation Hywel Davies Estate Hywel Dda UHB National Lottery Awards for All. Pembrokeshire County Council Valero 

Thanks are also given to the numerous other individuals and organisations who have provided gifts of money or their time. Unfortunately, there are too many to mention everyone but the charity is grateful for all amounts, no matter how small. The combined efforts of a lot of people do make a difference. 

The work of The VC Gallery continued this year with more arts facilitation and renewed emphasis at our Dig for Victory outdoor allotment, offering homemade soups and targeting support for those in need of Green prescription. The charities purchase of a community base in Pembroke Dock saw its second full year completed, working alongside other third sector organisations to combat the significant impact the cost of living crisis had on our community. Food and fuel poverty were key issues our community faced and we continued to be part of the Warm Room scheme and were supported financially  to purchase more items for our kitchen along with food and refreshments to offer a warm meal three times per week, for those struggling both financially and through isolation. 

We offered 6 freelance artists contracts throughout the year, enjoying more arts offering for our members with learning disabilities and continued to employ 7 staff on The Living Wage. Attendance at our hubs increased with 50/60 people per day and feeding 60 people at our communal lunch, weekly. Our volunteer core expanded, finishing the year with a total of 70 volunteers made up of veterans and community. 

The VC Gallery continued their Investors in Carers award from Hywel Dda UHB work and submitted their evidence  towards the silver level. Carers were supported within the galleries on a daily basis and all staff trained to identify them.

## **REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES for the Year Ended 31 March 2024** 

## **ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE Key VC Gallery projects during 2022-23** 

**Pembrokeshire County Council:** received money from Welsh Government and through the Welsh Local Government Association (WLGA) to support an increased number of people facing food poverty. This year in particular found us supporting more people with the cost-of-living crisis and being part of the Keep Warm Keep Well scheme combined warmth, welfare support and guidance with a nutritional meal. The objective was achieved by strengthening community  food initiatives, under this Food Poverty Grant the VC Gallery received funds to distribute food amongst its members. We offered cooked meals on a weekly basis in Pembroke Dock,Haverfordwest and St Ishmaels. 

**Hywel Davies Trust** , William Hywel John Davies was a Pembrokeshire philanthropist and campaigner for disadvantaged people across the world. He was a founder member of Hearing Voices Pembrokeshire, Mind Pembrokeshire and Pembrokeshire Mental Health Advocacy. Sadly, in March 2020 Hywel passed away and his legacy was distributed amongst local charities. The VC Gallery have used these funds for four separate projects; an art project 'Isolation Innovation', a substance misuse support project called 'Windows of Opportunity' offering 1:1 specialist service, the Pembrokeshire galleries and finally to further the aims of our successful allotment project Dig for Victory which was also added to kindly  by **Valero** , with a generous donation of £6,750. 

**Hywel Dda UHB** ; funded salaries of a mental health Befriender and a Financial worker at the start of 2023-24, through Community Wellbeing Funding building support systems within the community to prevent mental distress. This enabled the charity to offer bespoke, individual packages of support to our members either face to face, online or on the telephone. Thanks to this funding we were able to accept more referrals to our service from Secondary care, Community Connectors, GP's and our Local Authority. Along with our arts provision we offered walking groups, photography, seated exercise, jewellery making and many more activities. We used our strong networking links to signpost to other organisations for the benefit of the member and we are very proud of our strong bond with the Health Board. 

Projects funded by **The Armed Forces Covenant Fund Trust** 23-24. 

'Special thanks must be given to The Armed Forces Covenant Fund Trust. As a board we acknowledge how important this was for the charity to continue our valuable work supporting the Armed Forces Community' - Mark Jolly (Chair of The VC Gallery). 

**Tackling Loneliness Continuation grant** , which we match funded with a grant from the **Enhancing Pembrokeshire fund** , via **Pembrokeshire County Council** . The Tackling Loneliness programme addresses social isolation by targeting specific groups within the Armed Forces community who are traditionally harder to reach. The VC Gallery received funding to continue our work for a final year employing a peer mentor to operate informal get-togethers with free refreshments, every weekday morning in Pembroke Dock for general chat and company with other veterans, refreshments and help to access digital platforms, with a focus on older veterans in the local area, visiting them in their homes for additional help. 

Through the **Force for Change programme** , the **AFCFT** funded our lunch club and food offerings, which made a real difference to Armed Forces communities locally. The programme supported projects that offer support to Armed Forces communities to help with needs that may not have been addressed in the past. We utilised this grant to connect the needs of the veterans supported through our tackling loneliness grant to the lunch club and other support offered. 

**Veterans' Places, Pathways and People programme** , the **AFCFT** . This programme awarded 10 significant grants to portfolios of projects, which will work regionally to develop better, more joined up lasting support for local Veterans with mental health needs. The VC Gallery was proud to be a project within a portfolio and supported by offering knowledge, expertise and information and access to our services for any veteran and their families, and strengthened the networks across Wales.

**INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF THE VC GALLERY** 

## **Independent examiner's report to the trustees of The VC Gallery ('the Company')** 

I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Company for the year ended 31 March 2024. 

## **Responsibilities and basis of report** 

As the charity's trustees of the Company (and also its directors for the purposes of company law) you are responsible for  the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 ('the 2006 Act'). 

Having satisfied myself that the accounts of the Company are not required to be audited under Part 16 of the 2006 Act and are eligible for independent examination, I report in respect of my examination of your charity's accounts as carried out under Section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 ('the 2011 Act'). In carrying out my examination I have followed the  Directions given by the Charity Commission under Section 145(5) (b) of the 2011 Act. 

## **Independent examiner's statement** 

Since your charity's gross income exceeded £250,000 your examiner must be a member of a listed body. I can confirm that  I am qualified to undertake the examination because I am a member of the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants, which is one of the listed bodies. 

I have completed my examination. I confirm that no matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe: 

1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the Company as required by Section 386 of the 2006 Act; or 

2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or 

3. the accounts do not comply with the accounting requirements of Section 396 of the 2006 Act other than any requirement that the accounts give a true and fair view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination; or 

4. the accounts have not been prepared in accordance with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice for accounting and reporting by charities (applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102)). 

I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
