**THE VC GALLERY** 

## **REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES for the Year Ended 31 March 2025** 

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 2025. 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, poverty or financial hardship, including veterans, serving members of the armed forces and their families. It  achieves this through the provision of accessible, welcoming community hubs and opportunities for activity, creativity, learning, connection and practical support. 

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 VC Gallery operates across Pembrokeshire and also supports people from Carmarthenshire and Ceredigion who access the charity's services. 

The trustees confirm that they have referred to the Charity Commission's guidance on public benefit when reviewing the charity's aims and objectives, and in planning future activities.

**THE VC GALLERY** 

## **REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES for the Year Ended 31 March 2025** 

## **STRATEGIC REPORT** 

## **Achievements and performance Charitable activities** 

The VC Gallery was originally established to support veterans and members of the armed forces coping with the impacts of service, including trauma, anxiety, depression, grief and social isolation. Art and creativity were (and remain) at the heart of our approach, providing a therapeutic outlet and a non-clinical way for individuals to reconnect with themselves and others. 

As the charity developed, it became increasingly clear that the barriers affecting veterans-loneliness, poor mental health, poverty, disability, complex life experiences and stigma-were also affecting the wider community. The VC Gallery  therefore grew into an inclusive model of prevention, early intervention and community support for anyone who needs it, while retaining a strong commitment to the Armed Forces Community. 

The charity now operates from two main community hubs (Pembroke Dock and Haverfordwest), supported by a retail gallery and outdoor growing spaces. Together these sites allow the charity to reach more people across Pembrokeshire, reduce geographic isolation and ensure residents can access meaningful support locally. 

## Across our hubs, The VC Gallery provides: 

- accessible creative programmes delivered by skilled artists and facilitators 

- social connection through groups, drop-ins and peer-led activity 

- wellbeing provision including physical activity and nature-based sessions 

- practical support (including form filling, advocacy and signposting) 

- access to counselling and therapeutic interventions, supported by established referral pathways 

- food provision through community meals, surplus food redistribution and cookery activities 

The charity's approach is values-led and trauma-informed, ensuring people are welcomed with dignity, kindness and without judgement. Many beneficiaries report that the VC Gallery is the first place they have felt safe to reconnect socially and seek support.During the year, the charity continued to support individuals experiencing multiple disadvantages, including people living with mental ill health, neurodiversity, disability, long-term health conditions, dementia, caring responsibilities,  poverty and housing insecurity. The VC Gallery also remained a trusted environment for veterans and their families, providing tailored support, informal peer mentorship and opportunities for connection. 

The VC Gallery continued to strengthen co-production and volunteering as a core element of delivery. Volunteer contribution remains critical to the charity's impact and sustainability, with volunteers supporting kitchen delivery, sessions, peer support, outreach, practical tasks and welcoming new members. 

Cost of living: food, fuel poverty and warm hub support: The cost-of-living crisis continued to have a significant impact on our communities during the year. Food and fuel poverty remained key issues, and the VC Gallery responded by providing a safe, warm and welcoming environment where people could eat, connect and access further practical support without stigma.Surplus food partnerships continued to play an important role in preventing food waste while improving community access to nutritious meals and ingredients. 

Attendance and demand: Demand for VC services continued to increase, with strong daily engagement across both hubs. Attendance reflected continuing community need for connection and wellbeing support, and the trust the VC Gallery has built through its consistent presence, welcoming ethos and 'no wrong door' approach.

## **REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES for the Year Ended 31 March 2025** 

## **STRATEGIC REPORT** 

## **Achievements and performance** 

## **Fundraising activities** 

The charity maintains a strong profile in Pembrokeshire and beyond, supported through positive media coverage,  community advocacy and partnership working.Income continues to be supported through grants, awards, donations and local fundraising, and the charity is grateful to all organisations and individuals who contribute.The charity would like to thank  the following for providing financial support during the year, including (but not limited to): 

Armed Forces Covenant Fund Trust Bluestone Foundation Building Communities Trust (BCT) Hywel Dda UHB National Lottery Awards for All Pembrokeshire County Council Valero 

The charity also wishes to thank the many individuals, groups, businesses and volunteers who contribute time, skills, supplies and donations. While it is not possible to name everyone, each contribution plays a meaningful role in sustaining  the VC Gallery's work. 

## **Key VC Gallery projects during 2024-25** 

During the reporting period the VC Gallery delivered a broad programme of activity across creativity, mental health and wellbeing, food support, volunteering, carers support and veterans support. 

## **Arts and creativity for wellbeing** 

The charity delivered regular facilitated creative sessions, using arts as a wellbeing tool. These opportunities supported people to build confidence, reduce isolation, develop skills and, where individuals choose, share experiences within a safe and supportive environment. 

## **Food and community connection** 

The VC Gallery continued to deliver and expand its communal food offer, including community meals, soup provision  and cookery activity. Food provision plays an important role in the VC model as both an immediate support for hardship and as a gateway to wider wellbeing, connection and trust-building. 

## **Veterans support and peer mentorship** 

The charity continued to provide veterans-focused activity and support, including informal opportunities to connect, peer support and targeted engagement for older and harder-to-reach veterans. Supporting the Armed Forces Community  remains central to VC's identity and contribution to local support pathways. 

## **Carers support** 

The charity continued to develop and strengthen its support for unpaid carers, recognising both the vital role carers play  and the high levels of isolation, exhaustion and financial pressure many experience. Support is offered through daily informal contact within our hubs, alongside planned wellbeing opportunities, helping carers to take breaks, connect with others and access practical advice, signposting and support. During the year, The VC Gallery achieved the Silver award in the Investors in Carers scheme, recognising its commitment to identifying, valuing and supporting carers across its delivery. 

## **Outdoor and nature-based wellbeing** 

The VC Gallery continued to develop outdoor wellbeing provision through its growing spaces, supporting participation in nature-based activity and accessible connection to the outdoors as part of its wider health and wellbeing model.

**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 2025. 

## **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.
