CHAlli'S REPORT
for the YeAr Ended 31 March 2025
This is our 9th Annual Report. As 2024 was the year that our 5-year National Lottery funding ended, the work became
dominated by the need to secure ongoing funding.
It continues to be rewarding to know that the vast majoTity of residents are happy with the 5UPPOrt we offer and would like us
to continue. This report summarises some of our Gore aGtiviti¢s which Gan benefit local people, whilst we summarise our
attempts to ensure that we have suffLcient thnds to continue with a fre¢ s¢rvi¢e.
Our successes to date are thanks to the enthusiasm and dedication of our volunteers, staff and ttuste¢s who have enabled
Solva Care to develop new ideas to support w¢llb¢ing and becoming an active partner in working with others both locally
and across the Peninsula.
Funding is necessary to pay for the hire of premises, activities, volunteer expenses and oulings as well as our part time staff
who manage the co-ordination and administration of the work. Due to the generosity of doners, fundraising activities and our
ability to secure short temi funding we can maintain the service until September 2025. Trustees are working hard to seek
ways of securing further fi￿dIng and remain hupeful ihat one day to be predominantly sustainable. We will continue to
update residents regularly via the village newsletter to keep everyone inforn]ed of our progress. Please wish us luck and
support our efforts.
We also note thal since the last report our role as host to Togcthcr for Changc (TtE). ¢nd¢d a8 ihey became a separate
Community Inturoyt Company. We intend io continue our close working relationship and to utilise their research findings,

Club, to do talks, provide light exercise, craft ¢t¢. The local Ukulele band comes to play OllC¢ a month, and the
Pernbrokeshire Coast National Park ranger usually comes a couple of times a year to do a tau( and a quiz. Wh¢n w¢ have a
special guest speaker we have slait¢d to spread the word wider, via posters, ¢mails, social media etc.
We have close contsct with Solva Surgery and the Co-ordinator has a Toom there every Friday morning for people to drop in.
We kocp learniiig and adapting what we do all the tirne. For instance. we have increasingly been asked to &gsist in dealing
with statutory services, utility companies and applying online for blue badges, passport8, bus pa3SC5 UIG. Help with IT and
completing online forms and signposting to entitlements is in¢r¢asing.
In Jiily 2024 Solva Care had a tsble at the Edge festlval to pilot a joint questionnaire about the Solva Care Expansion Proje¢l
with St Davids and Llanrhian. About 80 questionnaires were Gornpleted by people from all three areas.
Solva Care attended and had a stall at a Coinmuiiity F.vent in St Davids City Hall on 22 October 2022 OTgaTrised by St
Davids Commutiity Couiicil, to illfomi about what ￿ do and our on-¥uing joint Project.

2. Urgently securing ongoing funding to maiDtaiD and enhHnce our services
Our last annual report highlighted th¢ end of our National Lottery fL￿dIng granl and our plans to us¢ rns¢rY¢ fimds TryhiGh
would enable us to continue se￿iCeS until September 2024. durlng which tirne we hoped to secwe an additional grant. The
work during 2024125 has therefore been dominated by grant applications and seeking opportimities to secure fjjnding.
In June 2Q24 we were successful in being awdrd¢d a grant from the Waterloo Foundation which enabled us to continue until
March 2025. We wer¢ extremely gratethl to the Foundation 85 It provided more tim¢ to apply for larger grants.
As the pror¢ss for large grants from th¢ Natio1￿1 Lottery can be lengthy. we ¢onsideffd the option of applying for a smaller
amount from the Lottery, However, we continued to pursue the larger grant opportunity as additional tim¢ spent on lesser
amounts would not offer long terni security.
We did however also agr¢e to apply to the Enhancing PembTokeshirc fund together with St Davids and Llanrhian
Communilies, This would have enabled us to start to develop our plans with th¢ olher two communities sooner. Funding
however w&s eventually not made available. hence we continued with the 'People and Places, bid to the Lottery.
Other attempts to raise fullds involv¢d a social fundraising event in November 2024, pr¢¢ed¢d by i tabl¢tOP sale in the
aft¢rnoon. Some Solva Community Council events have also rais¢d fvnds for Solva Care for which we are gr8tefvJ.
We continue to sryal¢fully receive donations from the community and introduced th¢ 'Friends of Solva Care, scheme, to
generate regular funds, and our ongoing pop-up shop continue5 to eam necessary funds.
By the beginning of 2025 it was obvious that we would not have sufficicnt funds to maintain our service throughout the
Lottery application process. The issue was shared with H￿¢] Dda H¢altli Board via a Peninsiila Stakeholder groiip. As
result, we are extremely gratehl to the Health Board for a grant which will ¢nable us lo continue until Septsmber 2025.
3. To extend our reach And share our le*rniDg to adjacent communities An the PeLlnsula, speelfleally St Dlvlds and
Ll#nrhian.
We reported l&# year that to enable us to apply for a large grant we would need to demonstrate Ihe diff¢r¢n¢es between our
existing seTvices and how we intended to innovate in the future. We therefore met with St Davids and Llanrhia
Cityicommunity Coiincils to ¢xplore how we could extend and amend the model of Solva Care to meet th¢ individud needs
of the adja¢¢nt communities working with any ¢xisting groups.
The idea of the Solva Care Exp￿￿1011 Proje¢t was shftred witli the National Lottery, however the evideiice of need across all
areas needed to b¢ wllected within 3 -6 months of any applir4tion. This requlred the d¢v¢lopment of a joint ¢onununity
survey Mthich was distrlbuted at local ￿entS in earh of th¢ areas, alongsid¢ presentations in St Davids and Llanrhian.
Anltlysis of the qucstioiinftircs unanimoLsly demornstrated the need and d¢sirc for a Solva Care type service which was also
supported by loGal heallh, commiuiLty, and SOLial serviL¢S.
Regular meetings with Coun¢illors and colleagues from St Davids and Llanrhian, have ensured a mutual understanding of the
proposal which was shared on nllmeTous occasions with the thnding 0ffi(¢r from the National Lottery. Following a lengthy
pre-application process, we were invited to make Stage l of the fonnal application PToGe5s which was submitted at the
begtnning of March 2025. To date, {April 2025) we await their consideration and decision for us lo hopefully be invited to
progress to stage 2 of the applicativn process.
4: We will maintain our eonstruttive and enduring working Telationships with other organisAtion8 to benefit our
eommunity And other communitles in Wales and beyond.

ACHIEVEMENTS AND PKRFORIIIAIYCE
We r¢ferred last year to the e5tabli5hment of the PenRnsula Stakeholder Board, led by Hywel Dda Health Board. This had
followed the departure of the resident GP in Solva and the eventual de¢ision to retain a health service managed practice in
Solva. Th¢ group had initiP¢lly been set up to examine long term options for the wider conuThunities in relation to provision of
clinical s¢rvices. In July 2024. the imminent closur¢ of St Davids GP surg¢ry> impacted th¢ development work of this group
whose focus became the management of all patients registered with the practic¢ which also impacted on Solva residents. Th¢
final decision to re-allocate 90Q/o of th¢ patients from St David5 to the Solva surgery had obvious cons¢qu¢nces which
needed to be worked through.
Changeover occurred in October 2024 th¢n enabling the St(IkLholdur group to again fociis on futur¢ models of care in rural
areas. As a result, a Peninsiila Working Group was 3¢t up with a representative from Solva Lare. Their WO￿ has sinGe been
divided into three sub-groups to focu8 on ¢linical setvices, conJmunity and wellbeing and communication. Solva Care has
membership of all groups and are recogni5ed &$ a key part of any future developments.
5. We will continue ollr eommitment to Res¢areb, Monitoring & Evgluxtioll (RME) and pursue Iht following
priorities working with ffjTogether for chthllge, (ffc),
Wliil$t we have continued our commitment to r¢s¢arch and evaluatio￿ our priority has been the development, distribution,
and analyyis of a 3-way community survey to support the grant application. We hav¢ also surveyed our volunteers to find it if
thLy were satisfied with th¢ir volunteering and the way the voluntary service is run. Most of them cornpleted and returned the
5urv¢y.
Our main research ami, which led 10 the hosting of Together for Change from 2020, continiied to div¢rsify and success￿11Y
spread the results of their work, aGhiLving large research gTants. As a r¢suli, it was not appropriate for Solva Care, (facing an
uncertain future) to continue to host. Th¢refor¢ during 2024 Togetber for Change (Tfc) began the process of incorporation
as a Community Interest Company (CIC) lin)ited by Guarantee and to leave Solva Car¢ in September 2024. On¢¢ the CIC
had been set up the National Lottery were expecting TIE work to foGu5 on launching a Cenlre of Excellence, building the
Cents'e's partnership alllance, and developing abusiness case and ￿ndIng applicatioii by Sepi'embei. 2025.
The Lottery had al￿adY granted a 10 % grant uplift to fund the work whi¢h had funded an independent review about the
support that available in Wal¢s for communitiLs. whai the gaps were, and what Tfcs role could be to fit thosc gups. All
national organisation8 and largc Lomrnunlty Eroups felt there were gaps that 'I'fC should fill, and forgc alliances to ensure
better coordination alld cooperation across Wales which was curr¢ntly missing. Solva Care will continu¢ to work with Tfc as
appropriate, including by contributing and utilising their Tesults. We will draw oil tli¢ir evidence reviews which point to the
best practice for coproducing solutions to improving our service lo our lo¢al community. We also link with T￿'S events to
l¢arn and share with other community groups and organisations to learn and share. The link between our orgartisations
continues to b¢ strong as a Trustee of Solva care, Sue Denman, Continu￿ to work for Tfc.
Solva Care and Tfc worked through th¢ fomial arrangements required by the Charity Commission which were verified by
Cwmp&s. This requir¢d items on the Solva Care Property Register, purchased by Tfc, lo be transferred if they still had a
monetary value. Items with no value were written off. A new Tfc bank account was set-up onG¢ the CIC had been registered
with Companles House and all monies transferred.
6. Ensure effective gnd ¢ffi¢ient management of the Charity
Our Trustee Board remains stabl¢, meeting every 3 months. Where possible tem]s of office have been ¢x¢ended, how¢ver
two trustee5 have now stepp¢d down from the role. leaving two vacanci¢s. Following the fii'st vacancy, advertisements were
made locally in the newsletter inviting people from the wider communities to consider working with us. We are also aware of
the profile and skill sets of our current group and would like to balance a5 appropriate. How¢v¢r, no appoinknents could be
made. Following the second vacancy, we have agreed to await the outcome of our grant applications before proceeding.
Tn￿te¢ Board me¢tillgs aim to focus on strategic issues. however. tbis has been li￿lted due to uncertainty of funds. Our
other responsibility is to ensure all OUT policies and standards are updaled and adhered to. This year we revisited our
stateTnent of confidentiality and data protection policy along with our safeguarding poli¢y. We regularly discuss
commuDi¢ations and have recently updated our website.
