Tŷ Croeso Policies

In pursuit of our objectives, we work with other agencies in the area when appropriate.

We will respect all individuals involved in any way in Tŷ Croeso Clydach, putting in place appropriate policies regarding confidentiality, data protection and safeguarding.

We aim to be sensitive to environmental issues and aware of the needs of minorities, global communities, and future generations.

Review of the Year

As pandemic restrictions eased, the various aspects of our work adjusted appropriately. We were able to continue most activities through most of the year in one form or another.

The Foodbank continued to provide the regular food parcels through the Swansea Trussell Trust Food bank scheme and responded to ‘drop-ins’ with small supplies of food if appropriate plus toiletries and period products. Numbers attending with vouchers fluctuated widely, averaging 4 adults and 2 children. We continued to receive very generous donations of food, cash, toiletries etc. from individuals and organisations.

Our counsellor held regular 1:1 sessions for a small number of existing and new clients, moving mostly to face to face meetings at our venue.

Our Welsh conversation group continued online with an average of 6 people joining in.

Our Seated Exercise group continued in the larger environment of a local community hall, with an average of 8 attending.

We held 7 Repair Café sessions during the year. These sessions remain limited to appointments only and were attended by an average of 3 clients, with an average of 4 volunteers. These sessions also supply a PAT testing service for our Charity Shop (see below).

We continued to keep in touch with the 3 care homes which had attended our Tea and Hymns sessions, and during the year added a 4[th] care home to our contacts. Christmas gifts for the staff in recognition of their work, and cards for the residents, were taken to all 4 homes in 2021.

We continued to distribute the Vale Europe Community Fund to local charities according to the agreed policy, supporting a school, a church, the young carers, a Christmas gift scheme, a fruit salvaging project, and a new counselling service.

We opened a Charity Shop in the village and agreed a policy for the use of the profits, which would make our own work more secure and allow us to continue to make small grants to local charitable groups.
