## **ROSS-ON-WYE COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT TRUST** 

## **(A Charitable Incorporated Organisation)** 

## **TRUSTEES’ REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 NOVEMBER 2022** 

## **Objectives and Activities** 

## _Objectives_ 

The objectives of the CIO are promoting the efficiency and effectiveness of charities and the effective use of charitable resources for the benefit of the public in Ross-on-Wye and surrounding parishes by any means as the trustees in their discretion shall determine, provided always that such promotion has the goal of providing charitable services or relief to the residents of Ross-on-Wye and that any private benefit arising is solely incidental. 

## _Activities_ 

Ross Community Development Trust exists to unlock the potential of the community to work together to enhance the quality of life in the town.  The charity was established in 2019 to encourage volunteering within the market town of Ross-on-Wye. Huge thanks are due to everyone in the Ross community who has contributed their time or money to the continued success of Ross CDT during the year. 

Ross CDT promotes voluntary action in Ross-on-Wye by: 

1. networking with other charities and groups 

2. working with statutory services help them work more effectively with voluntary groups 

3. providing advice, training and support to groups 

4. developing projects to meet identified needs 

5. developing the capacity and skills of volunteers. 

In the Achievements and Performance section below, the Trustees set out how we have moved forward on these areas of activity during the review period. 

## _Public Benefit_ 

The Trustees seek to ensure that the activities of the CIO meet ‘Public Benefit’ tests in accordance with the Charity Commission guidance. In particular, the Trustees have regard to the Objectives of the CIO, as set out in the Constitution, and how proposed activities will further these. Trustees also judge proposed activities in line with the requirement that they should be beneficial to the public, or a sufficient section of the public. 

The Trustees, having reviewed the objectives and activities of the Trust and, having given due consideration to Charity Commission Guidance on public benefit, are satisfied that the Trust’s business is properly conducted for the public benefit. 

## **Achievements and Performance** 

## _Networking with other charities and groups_ 

We are currently in contact with 55+ local volunteer organisations. Each group on our list receives a quarterly mailing, with news and info, and also a request for information about their activities which we can advertise on our website, social media and our printed publication ‘Ross Neighbourhood News’. This is delivered by volunteers every three months to 6300 households in Ross, Bridstow and Weston-under-Penyard. As well as publicising our own projects and those of other groups, it also encourages volunteering and lists volunteer vacancies in the town. Thus a combination of face-to-face 

Page | 3 



contact through the buddy scheme, printed information through letterboxes, our Helpline, social media (Facebook, Instagram, NextDoor, Twitter) and our website, provides a diverse range of communication channels to connect us, and the wider voluntary sector, to individuals and households. 

As described below, towards the end of the year we worked closely with several other organisations to launch the Warm Ross initiative. 

## _Working with statutory services to help them work more effectively with voluntary groups_ 

We have been designated a Talk Community Hub by Herefordshire Council. Rather than a physical, walk-in hub, our hub is distributed. Our buddies and our helpline volunteers are trained so that they can act as sign-posters to the help and information needed by the people they are in contact with. 

We have continued to work closely during the year with the Taurus Healthcare Social Prescribing team, as a legacy of our Clover Project, which ran from March 2021 to June 2022. 

We have been regular attendees at the Herefordshire Community Partnership meetings, to help to prepare for the introduction of Integrated Care Networks for July 2022, which offer new opportunities for closer working between the voluntary and community sectors. 

We are in discussions with Wye Valley NHS Trust and Age UK (Herefordshire) about a scheme to allow those returning home after a hospital stay to access volunteer help with their practical, nonmedical needs.  We hope to launch a Herefordshire pilot in Ross during 2023. 

## _Providing advice, training and support to groups_ 

We offer a range of services for other volunteer groups in the Ross area. We offer space in _Ross Neighbourhood News_ for news from member organisations and advertise their volunteer vacancies in our newsletter, website and social media.  Since 2021 we have been approved as a Disclosure & Barring Service umbrella organisation, which means we can offer free DBS volunteer checks for our member groups.  Full membership is £24/year but groups can also choose free associate membership if they do not require services such as DBS checks, access to our Zoom room etc. 

We act as an incubator for groups which are in the process of getting started or who lack capacity. The Ross District Community Land Trust has been established as a Ross CDT project, but its steering committee intend to become an independent body on due course. The Ross Town Ambassadors, who welcome visitors to the town, had no way of getting public liability insurance, and so we adopted them, registering all their volunteers as ours so that they would have the necessary cover. 

## _Developing projects to meet identified needs_ 

Our first project, the Ross Good Neighbours (RGN) scheme, aims to help people across the town, Bridstow and Weston-under-Penyard in many different ways and is at the heart of our operations. Volunteer teams provide a range of services for people who are vulnerable and need support, including a home shopping service for those who are isolated, pet care, light DIY or gardening tasks. We also have a 24/7 messaging service which we use as a dedicated Helpline. Nearly 100 volunteers are involved, including 55 newsletter/leaflet deliverers, 1 newsletter editor, 7 Helpline, 12 shoppers; 3 payment volunteers, 11 befrienders, 4 DBS check team, plus 10 trustees/coordinators. 

A major activity at the beginning of the year was the Clover Project (www.clover-hr9.org.uk), aiming to create strong connections between social prescribers, voluntary organisations delivering well-being activities, and the community. Clover was funded through the Thriving Communities Fund of the National Academy for Social Prescribing. We were the lead partner in a consortium of six Herefordshire-based organisations which made the bid (ignite CIC, Herefordshire Wildlife Trust, Taurus Healthcare, Active Herefordshire &Worcestershire and Rural Media). To mark the end of the funding period in June we held a successful _In Clover_ event, attended by 35 people, the majority of them participants on the programme, who shared their stories about how the project had helped them. The Clover Evaluation report and a film about the project can be found on the Clover website at www.clover-hr9.org.uk.

We continued to act as a Herefordshire Council Talk Community Hub during the year, providing signposting information to enquirers and our Ross Good Neighbours clients.  During the financial year the Helpline responded to 790 calls from 213 individual numbers. 

We also ran an Outreach Project during the year to raise awareness of the services we offer with other agencies and organisations.  Towards the autumn the focus of this project shifted towards the coming winter and the anticipated cost-of-living crisis.  Working with Ross Community Garden, the Larruperz Centre, Tudorville Community Centre, HVOSS, St. Mary’s church, Ross Community Larder, Ross Baptist church and the Library Service we provided coordination and publicity for the launch of the Warm Ross initiative, to provide warm spaces across the town, as well as information on food, energy, money, keeping well and helping others. 

## _Developing the capacity and skills of volunteers_ 

During the year we have continued to run training events for our volunteers and those of other groups, some of them through the Clover Project.  Topics include: 

- First Aid 

- Mental Health First Aid 

- Safeguarding 

## **Financial Review** 

## _Reserves Policy_ 

The Trustees have agreed a policy to establish reserve funds equivalent to 6 months operating costs. Currently this is estimated to be £12,500. Existing unrestricted funds amount to £19,770 and therefore the Trust has adequate operating reserves at the time of this report. 

## _Funding and financial performance_ 

The Trust is grateful to have been in receipt of a number of grants that supported the general activities of the Trust.  Grant funders are listed on page 18 of this report. 

## _Structure, Governance and Management_ 

Ross CDT is a Charitable Incorporated Organisation. It has a constitution which is available on the website, based on the model Charity Commission constitution for CIOs. 

The maximum number of Trustees is eight, seven elected and one by Ross Town Council (Cllr. Ed O’Driscoll). 

At the second AGM, in March 2022, the three longest standing elected trustees (Dennis Humble, Dr Simon Lennane, Jane Roberts) and a co-opted trustee (Caroline Utting) stepped down and were reelected. At each AGM one third of elected Trustees (i.e.2) will retire each time.  Geoff Balsom and Jane Mainey retire this year but both have indicated that they are willing to be nominated for reelection. 

This report was approved by the Trustees on 1st March 2023 and signed on their behalf by:
