James Vidler Page | 2 ## **ROSS-ON-WYE COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT TRUST** ## **(A Charitable Incorporated Organisation)** ## **TRUSTEES’ REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 NOVEMBER 2024** ## **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 December 1[st] 2023 to November 30[th] 2024. 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 74 local volunteer organisations, of which 38 are full members, paying a £24/year subscription and 29 are free-of-charge Associate Members. The remainder are on our mailing list. Each group 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 Page | 3 and those of other groups, it encourages volunteering and lists volunteer vacancies in the town. Thus a combination of face-to-face 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 Ross voluntary sector, to individuals and households. We ran a highly successful Festival of Volunteering in September as part of the John Kyrle 300 celebrations attended by over 100 volunteers from 26 local organisations. Attendees enjoyed music, a pop up bar and photo booth, “I volunteer in Ross” badges and an opportunity to engage with each other, make new connections and celebrate old ones. We were grateful for financial support from Ross Town Council for this event. During the autumn of 2024 we worked with Ross Community Larder to transfer the funds and the operation of our Warm Ross initiative to them. The majority of referrals for fuel vouchers in 23/24 to Warm Ross were from the Larder, so it made sense for them to directly administer the scheme. During the year we processed 101 DBS checks for 25 local organisations. ## _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 network with other groups and contribute to the Herefordshire Together initiative. ## _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 Full member groups. We stand ready to act an incubator for groups which are in the process of getting started or who lack capacity. We worked with a small team of volunteers to arrange the re-painting of the large mural at the junction of Edde Cross Street and Trenchard Street, assisting with fundraising, volunteer recruitment, risk assessments and public liability cover. We were grateful for support from Ross Town Council for this project. We continue to act as an umbrella organisation for three dormant groups: Ross & District Community Land Trust, Ross Fairtrade Group and Ross Town Ambassadors. ## _Developing projects to meet identified needs_ 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. During the year our volunteers did 271 shops for 13 customers. We also have a 24/7 messaging service which we use as a dedicated Helpline. Nearly 100 volunteers are involved, including 52 newsletter/leaflet deliverers, 2 newsletter editorial, 6 Helpline, 10 shoppers; 3 payment volunteers, 17 befrienders, 3 DBS check team, plus 11 trustees/coordinators. Page | 4 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 741 calls from 169 individual numbers. ## _Developing the capacity and skills of volunteers_ During the year we have continued to run Safeguarding training events for our volunteers and those of other groups. We are immensely grateful to our hardworking staff, our volunteers and our funders, without whom none of this work would be possible. ## **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 £18,000. Existing unrestricted funds amount to £15,162 and the Trustees have established a contingency fund of £6,000 against future insolvency, which is also part of the reserves. 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 twelve, up to eleven elected and one appointed by Ross Town Council (Cllr. Beverley Pope). At each AGM one third of elected Trustees will retire each time. At the AGM in April 2024, the two longest standing elected trustees (Dr Simon Lennane, Jane Roberts) retired and were re-elected and new trustees Alison Clarke, Paul Cummings, Rachel Hankins and Beverley Pope were elected. In May 2024 Ross Town Council appointed Cllr Pope as their appointed trustee, to take the place of Cllr O’Driscoll. In January 2025 Rachel Hankins resigned as a trustee. Geoff Balsom and Caroline Utting will retire at the 2025 AGM and are eligible for re-election.
